Minimalistic

Hey guys!

Today I have a mani swap that I did with @lsdoesnails to share with you!


For the manicure I started off with striping tape across the nail and the white nail polish CND Cream Puff to create the white square and negative space effect. Afterwards I placed striping tape in the form of a triangle and colored it in with watered down black acrylic paint.


I am really loving this minimalistic nail art!

Ballerinas

Hey guys!

Today I have some ballerina nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a pink base of piCture pOlish Bardot on all my nails, except for my ring finger which I painted black with Essie Licorice. Afterwards I stamped the ballerinas on my pointer and middle finger with MoYou London Princess Plate 02 and Mundo de Uñas Black stamping polish. To finish everything off I applied some rhinestones to my ring finger.


I love the color combination of pink and black!

For the manicure I started off with a taupe/nude base of piCture pOlish Nougat on all my nails. Afterwards I followed my own tutorial using a dotting tool, the brown OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries, a small nail art brush, and watered-down black acrylic paint.


Leopard is definitely my go-to nail art!

Sally Hansen Deluxe

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Sally Hansen Deluxe to share with you!
Deluxe is a dark blue (almost black) texture polish.

The formula is great and it was easy to apply. It is opaque in one thick coat or two thin coats. The dry time is not that good though - it is surface-dry pretty quickly, but it takes a while for it to dry all the way through. It also dries a little darker than it is in the bottle, which is a bit disappointing.


I love the texture of this polish!
