Saran Wrap

Hey guys!

Today I have a skittlette featuring the saran wrap technique to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a purple base of Essie Shade On on my thumb and pointer, a white base of CND Cream Puff on my middle and ring finger, and a blue base of Barry M Damson on my pinky. Afterwards I dotted random blops of Essie Shade On, Barry M Damson and the red polish By K. Oy-Mak on my middle and ring finger and smeared it together with a piece of saran wrap.

I love the saran wrap technique (except for the clean up part)!

piCture pOlish Glitch

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful piCture pOlish Glitch!
Glitch is a forest green scattered holo.

The formula is amazing - it is smooth and it applies to the nails like butter! The opacity is great as well and it is opaque in two coats.

I am loving this polish!

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking

Hey guys!

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

For the manicure I started off with a yellow base of Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow on my thumb and pointer, a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle and ring finger, and the silver, holographic glitter F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond on my pinky. Afterwards I freehanded the flowers on my middle and ring finger using a small nail art brush, watered-down white acrylic paint and Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow.

I love a good skittlette and in my opinion this one is amazing!

Nimbus

Hey guys!

Today I have some nimbus nail art inspired by The Nailasauras to show you!

For the manicure I started off with a purple base of Essie Shades On on my pointer and thumb, a white base of CND Cream Puff on my middle and ring finger, and a lilac base of By K. Lavender Blue on my pinky. Afterwards I followed The Nailasaurus' tutorial using the two purple polishes and Essie No More Film to make the nimbus design on my middle and ring finger. To finish everything off I applied a silver stud to my pinky.

I love the nimbus technique (even though it is hard to master)!

Pastel Studs

Hey guys!

Today I have a very simple skittlette to share with you featuring pastel studs!

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Barry M Sky Blue on all my nails. Afterwards I placed these pastel studs from Born Pretty Store onto my middle and ring finger. To finish everything off I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

The way I placed the studs make it kind off look like an abstract flower!

Nails Inc Spray Can Shoreditch Lane

Hey guys!

Today I have a review of the new Nail Inc Spray Can spray nail polish in the color Shoreditch Lane!
Shoreditch Lane is a metallic silver spray.

The Spray Can works as follows:
1. Apply a base coat and allow to dry
2. Shake the polish and spray onto the nail from a distance of 10-15 cm
3. Apply top coat and allow to dry
4. Wash away excess polish with warm water and soap

As you can see the polish is pretty much all over the place (which actually looks kind of cool)!

Here it is after I washed away the excess polish with warm water and soap.

All in all I am positively surprised! I was really careful when applying the top coat, so the polish around the cuticle area was easy to wash away. The finish is awesome and almost mirror like! I did kind off fail on the middle finger though, but that was because I had to re-apply the polish and the base coat was not completely dry before I applied the spray polish.

Conclusively I will have to say that even though it is really cool to have a nail polish on spray, it is not worth it time-wise - it would be quicker just to apply normal polish. I knew all this going in, but I had to have it as a collectors item!

What do you guys think about the idea of nail polish as a spray? Hit or miss?

Lace

Hey guys!

I just got home from my trip to London that I won from Sephora and Formula X and I immediately made some lace nail art with one of the polishes I bought in London!

I started off with a taupe base of Barry M Almond on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the lace design on my ring and middle finger using the stamping plate MoYou London Bridal 06 and Mundo de Uñas Black stamping polish. To finish off the skittlette I applied two black studs to my pinky.

I love this neutral manicure!
