Stamping

Hey guys!

Today I have some stamping over the gorgeous A England Saint George to share with you!
I borrowed Saint George from Milena of Nail That Design when she visited me.

For the manicure I started off with green base of A England Saint George on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the floral design with Essie Penny Talk and MoYou London Pro Plate 07.


And here's a macro shot!


I definitly need Saint George in my collection!
What do you guys think about this stamping design? Let me know in the comments!

Indie Nail the Mail Box

Hey guys!

Today I have the Indie Nail the Mail Box for October to share with you!

Nail the Mail is a Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made these monthly nail polish subscription boxes - a Indie Box and a Mixed Box. Usually the indie box contains two polishes - one handmade indie nail polish made just for the box and one indie nail polish from one of the bigger indie makers, but this month there are three polishes. It also contains a little something extra for nail care or nail art.
You guys can read more about the boxes here.


The October box contains: Appeal4 Pinky Pine, Appeal4 Coconut Pine, Ms. Sparkle Princess Diaries, and the little something extra is Vølve Cuticle Creme.


First up is Pinky Pine, which is a pink creme with a purple shimmer.
The formula was amazing and easy to apply. The opacity was not that good though and it needed three thicker coats for full coverage. Fortunately the dry time was great, so the three coats was bearable.
This color is so pretty and I love the subtle shimmer!


Next up is Coconut Pine - matte, white hex glitters in various sizes in a clear base.
The polish was really easy to apply and the glitter pay-off was fantastic with no digging needed!
Above is one coat of Coconut Pine over Pinky Pine.
I love a good matte glitter and this polish is no exception.


Lastly is Ms. Sparkle Princess Diaries, which is a white crelly with pink shimmer, metallic shards, and a holographic finish.
The formula was a little on the thick and gloopy side, but it was okay to apply. The opacity was good and it was opaque in three thin coats.
This shade is really special, but I do not know if I like it. Maybe without the metallic shards?


The little something extra is Vølve Cuticle Creme. It smells delicious and I really look forward to trying it. Let me know in the comments if you want a full review on this!

Overall I am happy with this month's indie Nail the Mail box!
What do you guys think about it? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished.

Ps. this box is sponsored by Nail the Mail, but everything I write is my honest opinion.

Gradient

Hi girls!

Today I have a gradient made with three of the Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neons from LuxBeauty to share with you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge, Color Club 'Til the Records Stops (pastel neon green), Color Club Meet Me at the Rink (pastel neon blue), and Color Club Diggin' the Dancing Queen (pastel neon purple) to make the gradient effect. I finished everything off with China Glaze Fairy Dust.


I think this nail art is so delicate and pretty!

piCture pOlish Bordeaux

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of piCture pOlish Bordeaux from Nail the Mail to show you!

The formula was amazingly smooth and easy to apply (as every piCture pOlish ever). The opacity was great as well and it was opaque in two thin coats. The dry time was really impressive so it was a quick manicure.


This nail polish it nothing less than perfect for fall and winter!

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!

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!
