Breast Cancer Awareness

Hello ladies!

Today I have some 3D Breast Cancer Awareness nail art to share with you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a pastel pink base of Essie I Pink I Can from last year's Breast Cancer Awareness collection. Afterwards I used pink striping tape to make the ribbons on my middle and ring finger. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.


I have had this manicure in my mind since last year and I am really happy with the result!

Appeal4 Trendsetter

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Appeal4 Trendsetter to share with you!
Trendsetter is a light olive green creme.

The formula was great - it was creamy and easy to apply. The opacity was good and it was opaque in two to three coats depending on your application.


This color is perfect for fall!

Triangles

Hello ladies!

Today I have some simple nail art inspired by Milena of Nail That Design to show you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a bronze base of Essie Penny Talk on my pinky, middle finger, and ring finger and a dark teal scattered holo of piCture pOlish Escapades on my pointer and thumb. Afterwards I used striping tape and piCture pOlish Escapades to make the triangle nail art on my middle and ring finger.


I am addicted to Escapades - it is so beautiful!

Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neon

Hey guys!

Today I have swatches and reviews of three of the Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neons to share with you!
I got these polishes at LuxBeauty, where you can get the entire Poptastic Neon Pastel collection from Color Club.


First up is Meet Me at the Rink, which is a beautiful neon pastel blue.
The formula was good and it was easy to apply. The opacity was okay - it was really streaky on the first coat but it was opaque in two to three coats.


Next is Diggin' the Dancing Queen - a red-toned neon pastel purple.
The formula of this one is the best of the three and it applied like a dream. The opacity was great as well and it was opaque in two layers.


Last but not least is 'Til the Records Stop, which is an awesome neon pastel green.
The formula was good and it was easy to apply. It was really streaky on the first two coats, but it was completely opaque in three coats.

My favorite of the bunch is Meet Me at the Rink - I have been looking for this shade of blue for forever!

Roses

For the manicure I started off with a mint blue base of Appeal4 Mint Muffin on all my nails. Afterwards I freehanded the roses on my middle and ring finger with a small nail art brush and red, white, and green acrylic paint. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.


I love how the roses turned out - so pretty!

Another Thermal

Hi girls!

Today I have a swatch and review of the thermal nail polish Born Pretty #18931 in the color 100 to show you guys!
100 is a medium orange when it is hot and a lemon yellow when it is cold.

The formula was great. It was easy to work with and applied smoothly to the nail. The opacity was okay and it was opaque in three thin coats.
The color shift is amazing and on the picture below you can see both its hot and cold state.


This nail polish is from Born Pretty Store and it costs $3.55 for 6 ml.

Gothic

Hello ladies!

Today I have some gothic nail art to share with you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the (perfectly imperfect) crosses on my pinky and ring finger with MoYou London Hipster 08 and the silver Essie No Place Like Chrome. I finished off with some spiky studs on my middle finger.


The studs I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store (#10438 in the color Silver).
I like these studs because they are easy to use, look awesome on the nails, and because they are so cheap (they are only $4.33 for 100 studs)!

I think this manicure is so cool! And I love how the stamping is a little broken!
