Mani Swap

Hey guys!

Today I made a mani swap with the amazingly talented Eva of Coewless! I love all her perfect freehand nail art, but I wouldn't even try to recreate that, so I chose her cute multicoloured polka dot mani and she chose my polka dot skittlette - she even made the bow herself!


For the manicure I started off with a white base of CND Cream Puff on all my nails. Afterwards I made the polka dots with a small dotting tool and the following polishes: OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana (yellow), Essie Avenue Maintain (blue), Essie Lapiz of Luxury (purple), Essie Lovie Dovie (pink), Maybelline Coral Craze (self-explanatory), and Essie Mojito Madness (green).


I am so honored that Eva wanted to do this mani swap with me!

Twin Nails

Hey guys!

Today I have some twin nails that I did with the sweet Selina of @nailsbyselina inspired by the amazing Nicole of Young Wild and Polished to share with you!


For the manicure I started off with a nude base of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around on my pinky, pointer, and thumb, and a silver holo glitter base of F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond on my middle and ring finger. Afterwards I used a dotting tool and the polish black Essie Licorice to make the polka dots on my middle finger and mini chevron nail vinyls, saran wrap, OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, and Essie Licorice to make the nail art on my ring finger.


I just love how these twin nails turned out!

Color Club Cherubic

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Color Club Cherubic.
Cherubic is a tan nude linear holographic.

The formula is perfect - not to thin and not to thick. The opacity is great too and it opaque in two thin layers.


This shade is really unique for a holo - I love it!
