Matte

Hey guys!

Today I have some very simple nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of Gosh Medina on all my nails. Afterwards I used striping tape and Essie Matte About You to mattify all my nails except for the single stripe of shiny underneath the striping tape.


Matte nail art are always amazing!

Spring

Hey guys!

Today I have some abstract floral nail art inspired by @melcisme to show you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a green base of Essie First Timer on my ring finger and thumb, a white base of CND Cream Puff on my pointer and middle finger, and a silver base of By K. Moon Dust on my pinky. Afterwards I freehanded the abstract flowers on my pointer and middle finger with a small nail art brush, Essie First Timer and By K. Moon Dust. To finish everything off I applied small silver studs to my pointer, ring finger, and middle finger.

This nail art is perfect for spring!

L'Oréal Coral Trianon

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the new L'Oréal Coral Trianon.
Coral Trianon is an orange-leaning coral creme.

The formula of this polish is on the thick side, but that just makes it easier to control. The opacity is great and it covers perfectly in two easy coats. It does have a very perfumed smell though.


It is a little more orange in reality, but it was so hard to capture it on camera.

I'm With Her

Hey guys!

Today I have some political nail art to share with you - Hillary Clinton inspired nails!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Essie Mesmerize on all my nails, except for my ring finger which I painted white with CND Cream Puff. Afterwards I freehanded the I'm With Her logo with Essie Mesmerize, watered-down red acrylic paint and a small nail art brush.


I made these nails for Super Tuesday and I really like how they turned out!

Brush Strokes

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.

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!
