Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have some beautiful gradient nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid on all my nails. Afterwards I created the gradient effect with a make-up sponge, Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid, the medium blue nail polish Essie Avenue Maintain, and the dark blue nail polish Essie Mezmerised.

I love how these turned out - one of my better gradients in a while!

For the manicure I started off with a dusty lavender base of Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck on all my nails except for my pinky which I painted with the burnt purple Essie Smokin' Hot.

Essie Treat Love & Color

Hey guys!

Today I have a review of two of the four new Treat Love & Color shades by Essie.
The Treat Love & Color series are nail strengtheners with a little color and a subtle shimmer.

First off I have Laven-dearly to share with you!
Laven-dearly is a sheer lavender shade with a subtle purple and magenta shimmer.


Next is Treat Me Bright, which is a sheer milky white with a subtle aqua blue and purple shimmer.

And now for the review!
Essie recommends using two coats of these on clean and dry nails, but I only used one layer for the swatches above, as I think it is prettier that way.
These Treat Love & Color polishes gives the nails a beautiful barely-there look with a subtle shimmer, which is also totally work appropriate. I love how you can strengthen your nails while they get a beautiful polished look at the same time.
The dry time is amazing as well which is perfect, as you can apply a quick coat of this and be out the door in no time.

Minimalistic

Hey guys!

I have been really busy these last couple of days with a new semester starting, but today I am back with some minimalistic nail art!

For the manicure I started off with a base of piCture pOlish Freya's Cats on all my nails. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush dipped in acetone to remove some of the polish again and create the ombré negative space design.


Close up!


It is so nice to finally have time for nail polish again!
