Bruxelles!

Hey guys!

Today I am going to Bruxelles for a study trip - I am going to learn all about the European Parliament! For that purpose I made an EU flag inspired mani.

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Essie Butler Please on all my nails. Afterwards I made the twelve "stars" (dots) of the flag - three on each nail - using Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and a big dotting tool.

And here you can see the flag.

I am not sure how I fell about this nail art, but I am really looking forward to going to Bruxelles!

Stamping

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple skittlette to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a green base of Essie First Timer on all my nails, except for my pinky which I painted gold with Essie Good as Gold. Afterwards I stamped the design on my middle and ring finger using MoYou London Holy Shapes 03, Essie Good as Gold and a see through stamper!

This kind of skittlettes is definitely one of my go to manis!

China Glaze Desert Sun

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of a long time lemming of mine - China Glaze Desert Sun!
Desert Sun is a delicious, caramel brown creme.

The formula is amazing and it is creamy and easy to apply - it is a little on the thin side though and I was nervous it would need 3+ coats, but it builds up really well and it is opaque in two thin coats!

I added a popsicle charm from Daily Charme to my ring finger.

Close-up!

Now I have the munchies!

Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have a teal gradient to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a minty teal base of Essie Blossom Dandy on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the following polishes to make the gradient:  Essie Blossom Dandy, Essie In the Cab-Ana, and Essie Garden Variety.

I need more gradients in my life!

Negative Space

Hey guys!

Today I have some negative space nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with naked nails (except for base coat of course). Then I placed striping tape and straight vinyls horizontally across my nails and painted them with the white nail polish CND Cream Puff. To finish everything off I applied a matte top coat.

I love minimalistic designs like this one!

Glam Polish POP!

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Glam Polish POP!
POP! is a peach-colored scattered holo.

The formula is perfect - it is easy to apply and glides onto the nail with no struggle! The opacity is great for such a fair shade and it is opaque in two thin coats.

I am in LOVE with this shade - I look so tan!

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.

Close-up!

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