Essie On the Roadie

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the pretty Essie On the Roadie from the new Essie Spring 2017 collection.

The formula of this polish is amazing - it is smooth and stays right where you put it. The opacity is great as well and it is completely opaque in two coats. The dry time is fantastic and it dries surprisingly fast!

This polish is awesome!

Skittlette

Hey guys!

Today I made a skittlette inspired by the very first skittlette I ever made!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue on my pointer and thumb, a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle and ring finger, and a textured silver base of OPI It's Frosty Outside on my pinky. Afterwards I added the polka dots to my middle and ring finger using white acrylic paint and a small dotting tool. To finish everything off I placed small, silver studs on top of a few of the polka dots on my ring and middle finger.

Close up!

I think this recreation turned out pretty cool!

CND Solar Oil

Hey guys!

Today I have a review of my absolute favourite cuticle oil to share with you - CND Solar Oil.
Solar Oil is an award-winning cuticle oil and it is infused with jojoba oil and vitamin E.

Solar Oil is the most moisturizing cuticle oil I have ever tried and it absorbs into the skin really fast. It smells deliciously of marzipan or sweet almonds. I use this 1-3 times a day (closer to 3 times a day in the colder months and closer to 1 time a day in the warmer months) for perfect cuticles and stronger nails.

It is available in a lot of sizes and I have it in three different sizes. I always have the smallest one in my bag - it is perfect for fixing dry nails on the go.

Negative Space

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple negative space accent nail to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a mint green base of OPI That's Hula-rious on all my nails. On my ring finger I only applied OPI That's Hula-rious to the bottom 2/3 of the nails to create the negative space effect. Afterwards I applied a single stripe of bronze striping tape to my ring finger.

Close up!

This is kinda turning into my signature accent nail!

For the manicure I started off with a pink base of Essie Groove is in the Heart on all my nails, except for my pinky which I painted red with Gosh Medina. Afterwards I freehanded the lips on my middle and ring finger with a small nail art brush and red acrylic paint.

I think this nail art turned out adorable!

piCture pOlish Chance

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the stunning piCture pOlish Chance to share with you!
Chance is a deep purple magnetic holo.

The formula is great - it is a little on the thin side, but it is easy to work with anyhow. The opacity is good and it needs two coats to reach full opacity. The magnetic effect is amazing and so beautiful!

Close up!

This polish is seriously so beautiful.

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.

Close up!

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