Jelly Sandwich

Hey guys!

Today I have a jelly sandwich inspired by the sweet Nail Newbee to show you guys!

For the manicure I started off with two coats of the dark teal jelly polish Appeal4 Midnight Green on all my nails. Afterwards I alternated between the silver glitter Essie Set in Stones and Appeal4 Midnight Green to make the jelly sandwich effect.


These kinds of manicures take forever to make, but they are definitely worth it!

Ps. Appeal4 Midnight Green is sponsored by Nail the Mail, but everything I write is my honest opinion.

Halloween

Hey guys!

Today I have some Halloween nail art inspired by The Nail Trail to show you!

For the manicure I started off with a white base on all my nails. Afterwards I made a twilight gradient with Essie Smokin' Hot (dark purple), Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck (light purple), and By K. Dandelion (the barely visible yellow). Lastly I freehanded the graveyard silhouette with a small nail art brush and watered down black acrylic paint.


I love how this manicure turned out! So creepy!

OPI Give Me Space

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of OPI Give Me Space from the new OPI Starlight Holiday 2015 collection!
Give Me Space is a dark blue scattered holo.

The formula was amazing and it applies to the nail like a dream. It is opaque in two thin coats and it dries really fast, which makes for a quick manicure.
The holo is not visible inside, but in the sun (or under the flash-light on your phone LOL) it is beautiful!


I am so glad brands like OPI is finally making scattered holos! More of that please!

Barry M Mustard

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Barry M Mustard to share with you.
This polish has been a major lemming of mine since forever and when LuxBeauty.dk got Barry M, I knew I had to have it!

The formula was great - a little on the thick side, but I like it that way. The opacity was amazing for a yellow polish and it was opaque in two thin coats.
I added some studs and some glitter to spice this swatch up a bit.


This color is just perfect for fall and I am so glad I finally got my hands on it!
