Neon, Dots, and Stripes

Let me just start out by saying I LOVE THESE. Neon, dots, and stripes. What's not to love? For these I used Kleancolor Black and White (original names, I know), Nine Ultra Pro Solar Flare, and Miss Mya Sleeping Panda. Not much more to say about these!

Girly Glitter

Hey guys! Today I have a glittery, girly, holographic mani for you guys! For this mani I used OPI I Theodora You, Which is Witch, Color Club Harp On It, and China Glaze Fairy Dust. I used 3 coats of ITY, 2 of HOI, and one of WIW and FD. ITY was a little thick and bubbly, but when I topped it all off with Seche Vite, it evened out beautifully! I love the glamor of these!

Nails Inc. Leather Efrect Dalston

Hello lovelies! Today I bring you another Nails Inc. polish, one of their leather effects in Dalston! The leather effect polishes apply like a creme but dry to a textured, leathery finish. I couldn't really capture the leather effect on camera, but when I find my macro lens I'll be sure to post a picture. The formula for this polish was a little eh; it was goopy and bubbly. I understand that textured polishes are usually thicker in consistency, but this polish drug and bubbled and just was kind of, bleh. I also expected the texture to be a bit more gritty but overall, I am happy with the results. Shown above is 3 coats with NO topcoat. Adding topcoat will eliminate the texture. I also used Kleancolor Black and OPI Metallic 4 Life on my ring finger with some dots on the rest of my nails. Let me know what you think!

Nails Inc. Baker Street

Welcome to my first blog post! I'm so incredibly excited to see where this blog takes me! To start things off, I have a BEAUTIFUL polish to show you. Here is Nails Inc. Baker Street, a gorgeous, cobalt blue creme. The formula for this polish is ammaaazzinngg. 2 coats of perfection! My only complaint is the smell. I have found that many cobalt blue polishes, such as Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, smell like a skunk. I'm not sure if it's the pigment or what, but they smell really bad. But it's totally something I could get over for a color like this! I also used Kleancolor Black and some rhinestones from Cheeky for this mani.
