Blobbicure

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple skittlette to share with you featuring a blobbicure as an accent nail!

For the manicure I started off with the blue scattered holographic piCture pOlish Forget Me Not on my ring finger and pinky and a yellow base of piCture pOlish Sorbet on my middle finger, pointer, and thumb. While the nail polish was still wet on my middle finger I used Forget Me Not to make the blobbicure.

The blobbicure technique is so fun and easy to do!

piCture pOlish Allure

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of piCture pOlish Allure to show you guys!
Allure is a magenta nail polish with a scattered holographic finish.

The formula was amazing and it was applied like a dream to the nails. The opacity was great as well being opaque in two thin coats. It dried to a satin finish so you will need a top coat if you wan a shiny finish.

This color is beyond beautiful! I love it!

Fancy Friday: Light and Darkness

Hey guys!

Today it is time for another Fancy Friday manicure!
The challenge this week is light and darkness and I made a yin-yang skittlette!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of piCture pOlish Bright White on my middle finger, pointer, and thumb, and a black base of Essie Licorice on my ring finger and pinky. Afterwards I freehanded the yin-yang symbol on my middle finger with a small nail art brush, a big dotting tool, and black and white acrylic paint. To finish off the skittlette I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

I love the yin-yang philosophy and how it translates to my nails.

Stamping

Hello ladies!

Today I have some awesome nail art to share with you guys - a highlighter inspired skittlette!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of piCture pOlish Bright White on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the text on my middle and ring finger with my new stamper (below), Mundo de Uñas Black, and MoYou London CookBook Plate 06. Then I highlighted some of the words with the sheer OPI Primarily Yellow and OPI Pen & Pink. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

The stamper I used for this nail art is from Born Pretty Store (#21123 in the color silver).
This stamper is beautiful, really squishy, and easy to use! I already ordered some more stamper heads so I can make lots of stamping decals!

Fancy Friday: Dreams

Hello ladies!

Today I have another Fancy Friday manicure to share with you guys and the challenge this week (as chosen by me) is dreams!

I chose to freehand little piCture pOlish bottles on my nails inspired by Katharina of @cottonconey, because one of my biggest dreams is to make a collaboration shade with piCture pOlish! I have even had a note on my phone with my polish idea for months! If I could make a collaboration shade, I would call it Sunshine and it should be yellow (like OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana) with their signature scattered holo. It is inspired by good feelings and happiness!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of piCture pOlish Bright White on all my nails. Afterwards I freehanded the little piCture polish bottles with a small nail art brush, black acrylic paint and the following polishes: Forget Me Not (blue), O'hara (red), Enchanting (green), Paris (coral), Hussy (purple), and Chillax (mint). To finish off the skittlette I applied piCture pOlish Holiday to my pinky.

I think these little bottles are so cute!

My piCture pOlish

Hello ladies!

Today I have some piCture pOlish swatches to show you guys!
Jules (very generously) sent me three shades as part of the My piCture pOlish initiative on Instagram.

First up is Bright White which is a white creme.
The formula is great for a white polish - it is creamy and really easy to work with. The opacity is good as well and it covers in three thin coats or two thicker ones.
I love a clean white and this one is amazing!

Next is Electric Dream. Electric Dream is a pink scattered holo with a gold shimmer.
The formula on this one is amazing! It applies to the nail like butter! It was opaque in two thin and easy layers.
This shade is so bright and vibrant - perfect for summer!

The last shade is Escapades - a dark teal scattered holo.
The formula was nothing less than perfect and it was opaque in two thin coats!
I love this nail polish! It is dark, but not so dark that it looks black and it applies like a dream!

I love piCture pOlish more and more! You can buy their shades in their own on-line store or at one of their distributers and remember to check out their Instagram and YouTube.

Afterwards I applied gold temporary tattoos to the nail on my middle finger and up the finger all the way up my hand.

How cool are these temporary tattoos? I need more!

Today the sweet Milena of Nail That Design and I made another pair of twin nails together - this time we made a pastel galaxy manicure.
You can check out Milenas blogpost here!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge dabbed with random blobs of nail polish (piCture pOlish Chillax, piCture pOlish Instinct, and piCture pOlish Mad Magenta) followed by a white layer to tone them down and make them more pastel, to make the gradient effect. Then I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to all my nails. To finish everything off I used a small dotting tool, a small nail art brush and the white nail polish to add small planets and stars.

Exam

Hey guys!

Tomorrow I have an exam in cognitive psychology so today I applied green nail polish true to tradition and because green is the color of hope!

The green polish I chose was piCture pOlish Enchanting, which is a green scattered holo.
The formula is amazingly creamy and it is opaque in two thin coats. It is a bit more warm-toned in real life as to what the picture shows though.

I am really nervous for my exam so wish me luck!
