Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple gradient to share with you!
I used three polishes from the up-coming ILNP Fall 2016 collection (check out my swatches here)!

For the manicure I started off with a base of the lightest color in the gradient - the nude ILNP Elle. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the following three polishes to create the gradient: ILNP Elle (light nude), ILNP Chleo (darker nude), and ILNP Central Station (taupe).

I really like this barely-there gradient!

ILNP Fall 2016 | My Picks

Hey guys!

Minta.dk very generously offered me to choose some of the shades from the upcoming ILNP Fall 2016 collection, so today I want to share swatches and reviews of my picks.

The first four polishes are from the Fall Neutrals collection.
The quality of these polishes are amazing and all very similar - they needed three thin coats to be opaque, but the formula was amazingly easy to work with and they dried in no time!

First up is Elle, which is a beautiful semi-sheer nude with scattered holographic flakes.

Next is Chleo - a gorgeous semi-sheer dusty pink leaning nude with scattered holographic flakes.

Next we have Central Station, which a taupe with scattered holographic flakes.

The last of my picks from the Fall Neutrals collection is Industrial Park.
Industrial Park is a dark dusty blue with scattered holographic flakes.

I chose one polish from the Fall 2016 collection - The Harpist.
The Harpist is a gold-leaning copper shade stuffed with silver flakes and small holographic flakes.
The formula on this one was great - a little on the thick side, but easy to apply and it was opaque in two coats.

These are my first ILNP polishes and I can honestly say that I am in love! They are all so beautiful!
You can pre-order these polishes at Minta.dk and they will be sent out around the 30th of September.

Hey guys!

Today I have a beautiful skittlette to share with you featuring a glittery leopard design!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of Essie Really Red on my pointer and thumb, a taupe nude base of piCture pOlish Nougat on my middle and ring finger and a base of the gold holographic glitter F.U.N Lacquer Million Dollar Dream on my pinky. Afterwards I followed my own tutorial to make the leopard design using F.U.N Lacquer Million Dollar Dream, the brown polish OPI My Way or Nor-Way and the dark brown polish Essie Partner in Crime.

Black Cheese

Hey guys!

Today I have some negative space nail art inspired by MVK on Instagram.

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on my pinky, ring, and middle finger. Afterwards I used a small brush dipped in acetone to remove some of the polish again in circles to create the negative space effect. On my pointer and thumb I applied the lilac polish Essie Lilacism.

Matte!

I really like this edgy manicure!
