Golden rain in the urban jungle

Hey guys!

Today I want to show you guys the simple manicure that I wore today.

For the manicure I used the light beige nail polish Essie Urban Jungle with a chunky gold glitter accent nail of Maybelline Undress to Impress - pun in title intended.

I love this simple manicure!

Waterfall

Hi girls!

Sorry about the silence on the blog this last week, but I just moved and it has been really stressful. Fortunately I am back and ready to show you guys some nail art I did today - a waterfall manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a mint blue base of Essie Mint Candy Apple. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the silver/gold glitter Essie Beyond Cosy to make random lines in different lengths down the nail to make it resemble a waterfall.

I love a good waterfall manicure and this one is no exception.

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!

I love how cute and summer-y these turned out!
