Christmas Mani Idea #2

Hi guys, so this mani is inspired by a Christmas Ornament, a red ball with gold glitter only on the top. I used red but you can substitude it for any color and also the glitter for any other glitter color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure to use a good Basecoat, reds can stain your nails really bad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Vodka and Caviar by OPI. (2 coats)

 

 

 

 

 

I used a Gold Glitter stripper polish for this nail art. All you need to do is dab some of this on the tip of your nail and then drag it up half way up your nail.

Christmas Mani Idea

Hi girls, hope all of you are doing good. This is the first of 3 to 4 post that I'll do with Christmas Mani Ideas. This is very simple but extremely cute too!!

All I used for this mani.

 

 

 

 

First step is applying a Base Coat.

 

 

 

 

 

Then I put 2 coats of Exotic Green by Sinful Colors.

 

 

 

 

Over Exotic Green I applied 1 coat of My Favorite Martian by Confetti.

 

 

 

 

 

Added then 1 thin coat of Pinata-yada-yada by Ulta, its full of different colors and size glitters.

Easy Glitter Removal

 YAY I'm back, so sorry I was MIA for 2 weeks. I was having computer issues and when I tried to post from my phone and iPad it was a disaster! BUT I'm back with lots of post ideas (so that's good right?).

Today I'll be sharing with you an easy way to remove glitter polish, easier and less of a hassle than the foil method. While the foil method is a great way to remove glitter polish it has its down side. It makes your nails and cuticles dry because of the exposure to acetone, also the foil preventing ventilation adds to that. I found that my fingers got really hot every time I would remove glitter that way. All things aside the foil method is a genius and super effective way to remove glitter polish hands down.

I stumbled upon another way to get rid of your glitter polish. This method starts at the base of your mani, using Elmer's Glue as a base coat. Now some things you need to make sure you do:

1. Use NON TOXIC Elmer's Glue.
2. The Elmer's Glue base has to be put onto your bare nails.
3. The glue has to dry completely before you start to paint your nails.
4. Only use the Elmer's Glue on nails that you will be adding glitter to.


TIPS:

1. I put my Elmer's Glue into an empty SechVite bottle, you can use any nail polish bottle that is empty or almost empty.
2. Make sure you clean the bottle and brush really good with pure acetone before you add the glue.
3. When applying the glue on your nail put a thin coat on, you don't need a too much of it on your nail.
4. Make sure you have something to do while you wait for the glue to dry or else it will feel like forever.


Here are the photos.

5 Minutes after applying it. Half way to being dry.

 

 

 

 

10 minutes after applying it, completely dry.

 

 

 

 

Added my Rejuvacote Base Coat over the already dry glue base. this is to prevent staining.

 

 

 

 

 

2 coats of my base polish, this is Psychedelic Scene by Color Club.

 

 

 

 

 

1 coat of Klean Color's Grand Finale, bar shaped holo glitter.

 

 

 

 

 

2 coats of Gelous Top Coat.

To remove them you lift the polish from the side with an orange stick. Make sure to be gentle,then just peel it off. It should come off in one piece.

 

 

 

 

 

There will be some stuff left on the side of your nails and remover will take care of that.

 

 

 

So what do you think? Will you be trying this out?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whimsical by Revlon

 So I got Whimsical by Revlon about 2 weeks ago, I tried it on right away and was a little disappointed. I decided to try it with a complimenting color underneath. I picked 3 turquoise colors and 1 light blue one. Here are the photos and my thoughts on it.

Here is Whimsical on its own.(3 coats)

 

 

 

 

This is Gumdrop by Orly. (1 coat)

I Need A Refresh-Mint by Wetnwild. (1 coat)

Turquise & Caicos by Essie. (2 coats)

This light blue color is Factory Girl by Color Club. (3 coats)

 

 

 

Whimsical over Factory Girl.

 

 

My favorite combination was with Gumdrop and Factory Girl. If I had to pick just one color it would be Factory Girl. I like how the blue color counteracts with the dirty green look that Whimsical has.

 

Here are the turquoise colors side by side so you can see how similar they are.

Hope this was helpful to you girls who maybe have this polish or want to get it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockstar Pink

WARNING: This post is picture heavy!


Happy Monday everyone, now I know Monday and happy are hardly ever in the same sentence yet today we will make an exception. Why you make ask? Because I'll be reviewing Sally Hansen's Rockstar Pink. This polish has the potential to make anyone smile and glitter lovers jump with joy. Now i first saw a post on Instagram about this polish being a dupe for Butter London's Lovely Jubbly , after researching a bit and seeing comparison pictures I totally agree. They look extremely similar if not the same, so when I saw this at Target on one of my random trips I just had to get it! So if you don't have $14.00 to spend and would like to still own a polish this pretty the $3.99 alternative should please you just the same. Here are some photos and my thoughts on this polish.

 

 

 

This polish has very small red, blue, magenta and super fine gold glitter.

 

 

 

 

 

Out of focus so you can see the sparkle!

 

 

 

I have on 3 coats of Rockstar Pink and 2 coats of Gelous top coat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall this glitter polish was very easy to apply and I found it didn't drag as much either. I love looking at it on my nails, any bit of light that hits it makes it sparkle.

 

So any thoughts? Is this a polish you will be getting?

 

 

 

Cosmetic ARTS (nail polish)

So today I have a review for the brand Cosmetic ARTS Professional, I got the three polishes ill be showing you from ROSS. Sadly these had no names and all the research I did still left me empty handed. But fear not if you hate a nameless polish as much as me you will be happy to know that they now have a name, thanks to yours truly!

Here are the photos and my thoughts:

This is "Golden Ruby" its a very nice red with gold shimmer.

It took only 2 coats to look like this and it was a dream to apply. The only complain

is that the brush is a little skinny and longer than I'm used to.

 

 

 

 

(excuse the fat finger)

 

 

 

 

 

This looks black but trust me it is not! this is a very deep wine color, I named it "Dry Blood Red" because it reminded me just of that! You need 2 coats of this because the first coat will be very uneven, i love how this looks on me. (I'm into dark colors lately) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This eradecent glitter is "Shimmer Till The End", what can I say... I LOVE IT. I put 1 coat over "Dry Blood Red" because its very dark and it helps show it better. I want to use this with a light pink polish, perhaps Pinking Of You by OPI because I think it will look pretty!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you liked looking at some nail polish pics and if you want to get these you can check the ROSS store nearest you.

 

Thanks For Reading. <3
