OPI You Are So Outta Lime!

Hey guys!

Today I have another OPI nail polish from the new OPI Neon Collection to swatch and review for you - OPI You Are So Outta Lime!
You Are So Outta Lime! is a bright green neon.

The formula was great - it applied like a crelly, but it was nice and creamy. The opacity was great as well. I used two coats for the photo below.


I am loving this color! It is so bright and just perfect for summer!

OPI Life Gave Me Lemons

Hey guys!

Today I have another OPI nail polish to swatch and review for you - OPI Life Gave Me Lemons from the new OPI Neon Collection.
Life Gave Me Lemons is neon yellow with green undertones.

The formula was good - it applied like a crelly and it was a little streaky on the first coat, but easily build-able with three thin coats. The opacity was okay - as good as one can expect from a yellow nail polish.


I really like how bright and summer-y with polish is.

Fancy Friday: Girly

Hi girls!

Today I have some more Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is girly, so I decided to go all out with a pink base and a glitter gradient!

For the manicure I started off with a light pink base of Essie Fiji. Afterwards I used Essie Set in Stones to make the gradient effect down the nail.


I love how girly and cute these turned out - perfect for today's challenge.

OPI Race Red

Hi girls!

Today I have an OPI polish to swatch and review for you guys - OPI Race Red from the new OPI Mustang Collection!
Race Red is an awesome orange-red creme polish.

The formula was perfect - it was a dream to apply. The opacity was amazing as well! It was almost a one-coater, but I applied two coats to assure there wasn't any visible nail line. My only problem with this polish is that it dries a tone darker on the nail than in the bottle.


I usually do not like orange for nail polish, but for some reason I love this color!

Fancy Friday: Cloud Manicure

Hello ladies!

Today I have some more Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday Challenge is doing a cloud manicure. If you guys do not know what a cloud manicure is, I found a simple tutorial here by Jane at Nail Side.

When I saw what the challenge was this week, I remembered my first try at doing a cloud manicure a little over a year ago. That is why I decided to recreate my first try and make a 'Then and Now', to show you guys how much I have developed this last year.

Then

For the 'Now' manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice. Afterwards I followed Jane's tutorial using the silver polish Essie No Place Like Chrome and the royal blue polish Essie Mesmerize.

Now

I have really developed a lot this last year and I am really proud of myself!
What do you girls think about the 'Now' manicure? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

Fabulous Fruits: Strawberry

Hey guys!

Today I have something new for you: a fruit nail art theme I decided to call Fabulous Fruits.
The first nail art I did for the theme is strawberry nails!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of By K. The Sky is the Limit on all my nails. Afterwards I used green and yellow acrylic paint to paint on the details of the strawberries with a small nail art brush.


This is the first time I used acrylics paint for nail art and I am actually really happy with the result!
