Brush Strokes

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art inspired by the amazing Emily of Very Emily to show you.

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid on all my nails, except my ring finger which I painted white with CND Cream Puff. Afterwards I made the brush strokes with the black Essie Licorice and the white CND Cream Puff. To finish everything off I applied a silver stud to my ring finger.

This technique is so awesome!

Peachy

Hey guys!

Today I made a peachy sideway gradient inspired by Chalkboard Nails.

For the manicure I started off with a light peach base of Etude House OR202 on all my nails. Afterwards I made the sideway gradient with a make-up sponge, Etude House OR202, and the coral Maybelline Coral Craze. I finished everything off with a matte top coat of Essie Matte About You.

Close-up!

China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the stunning China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage.
Meet Me at the Mirage is a rose gold shimmer.

The formula is great - it is not to thick and not to thin. The coverage is good too and it is opaque in two easy layers.

Afterwards I played around with some weird ass color combinations.

I love rose gold and this shimmer is perfect!

Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have another gradient to share with you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a half-an-half base of the green Essie Going Guru (from the new Essie Resort 2016 collection) and the lilac Essie Nice is Nice. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the two polishes to create the gradient effect.

I am in love with this color combination!

Leopard

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple leopard nail art inspired by @annekristinahartvig to share with you guys.

I started off with a blue base of Christian Louboutin Wherever on all my nails. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool and the rose gold Essie Penny Talk to freehand the leopard design.

Matte!

Close-up!

I love how this looks matte!

Yves Saint Laurent Peace Green

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Yves Saint Laurent Peace Green.
Peace Green is a sea-foam green with a goldish pink shimmer.

The formula is great and easy to work with - it slides onto the nail like butter. The formula is good too. It is a little on the thin side and it is opaque in three thin coats.

And here it is close-up.

This polish is stunning.
