Exam

Hey guys!

Today I have an exam in developmental psychology so true to tradition I am wearing green nails!

For the manicure I started off with a mint green base of Il Était un Vernis Mint to Be Yours that I got on LuxBeauty on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the orchid design with Mundo de Uñas Black and MoYou London Pro Plate 07.

Wish me luck on my exam guys!

Shattered Glass

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art to share with you - shattered glass!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of Essie Lollipop on all my nails. Afterwards I placed some iridescent foil cut into different sized triangles randomly onto my ring finger and pinky.

And close-up!

I loooooove this shattered glass trend!

Smokin'

Hey guys!

Today I made some smokin' nail art (get it?) inspired by Chalkboard Nails.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice. Afterwards I followed this tutorial by Chalkboard Nails using the light grey Essie Cocktail Bling.

I love how edgy this turned out!

Pantone Colors of the Year 2016

Hey guys!

Today I have a gradient inspired by the two Pantone Colors of the Year for 2016 - serenity and rose quartz.

For the manicure I started off with a white base on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge, OPI Mod About You to symbolize Rose Quartz, and Essie Salt Water Happy to symbolize Serenity to make the gradient.

I think these colors are so beautiful - especially together!

Glam Polish Firework

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Glam Polish Firework!
Firework is a jade green holo (a cross between scattered and linear holo).

The formula is amazing - a little on the thick side, but I tend to like thicker formulas better so I really like it. The opacity is great too and it is completely opaque in two easy coats.

This is one of my first Glam Polishes, but definitely not my last!

12 Days of Christmas: Santa and Elves

Hey guys!

Merry christmas!
Time for my last manicure of my 12 Days of Christmas series - santa and his elves.

For the manicure I started off with a green base of Essie Pretty Edgy on all my nails except for my ring finger which I painted red with Essie Happy Wife Happy Life. Afterwards I freehanded the details on santa's suit, the belts and belt-buckles with watered-down white, black, and gold acrylic paint and a small nail art brush.

This is my favourite christmas manicure every year!
