Layla Coffee Love Swatches and Review!

I screwed up and accidentally deleted this post! :(

This is just two coats of the lovely Layla Coffee Love on top of one coat of OPI Nail Envy and a generous coat of Essie Good To Go top coat! This works similar to an aqua base coat (not as well though) by providing a nice smooth surface! After applying Coffee Love I added another coat of Good To Go, this time as a top coat (the way it's supposed to be used haha).

Anyways, onto the swatches! This post is picture-heavy!

Thanks for reading!

Nyx Girls Mermaid Green with a Holographic Tip!

This is just a quick and simple mani because I'm waiting for five polishes that should come in the mail any day now! I just know I'll have to take these off and try out a new polish! I absolutely LOVE the base colour I'm wearing here, it's Nyx Girls Mermaid Green and it's the most gorgeous teal ever! This is just two coats with my current top coat, Essie's Good To Go :). The holographic top coat I'm wearing here is NOPI Make a Comet-ment, and I did the black stripes with Orly Liquid Leather!

I finally perfected putting curved text on my pictures from Kayla Shevonne's tutorial here, so these more professional-looking photos are here to stay! I'm also going to make sure to mention how many coats of each I'm wearing in future posts, and I'll put up a nail care post outlining the products I use and a review of them (including base coats and top coats) as soon as I can! Thanks so much for reading!

Star Candy Polish's Yay! Swatch and Review! =)

I have another lovely Star Candy Polish polish to show you! This one's from the adorable Ponyville Collection and it's called Yay!!

As you can see, Yay! is a yellow crelly polish with small light blue circular glitters, and large/medium sized holographic pink butterfly glitters (to me they look orange but apparently they're pink, I must see some colours differently than others!)! I used two coats of Julep Blake as undies for this polish because I don't wanna use up this beauty up so quickly! I did have to fish around a bit for butterfly glitters, but I'm positive that's only because of the small bottle and little brush! I would recommend getting the larger bottle of this polish for the longer brush and more of this super cute polish!

Now onto the swatches!

A few pictures taken inside with flash to show off the holographic butterflies!

You can get Star Candy Polish polishes from their store here, and you can check out the other Star Candy Polish polish I've swatched and reviewed (Orion) here! Thanks for reading! :)

My First Ever Giveaway! =)

As I am just starting out as a giveaway host (and I'm looking for a job with no success) these products are gently used (ie. used two times or less) by me. I thought it'd be fun to get rid of a few colours that are dupes/actual duplicates in my collection! I've chosen twelve polishes to giveaway in total and I've split them up into three prizes consisting of four polishes each!

Look forward to many giveaways in the future, I find them so fun so I'm happy to host them!

Now for the best part! If I get 50 followers by June 21st (the end of this giveaway) I'll put up another giveaway with one prize of unused polishes, nail art tools and moisturizers (lotions/cuticle creams), if I get 75 followers by June 21st I'll put up two prizes like I described above, and if I get 100+ followers by June 21st I'll put up three!

On to the prizes!

Prize #1

Essie Soho Nude, Kleancolor Blue-eyed Girl, Orly Buried, and Fright Night Spellbinding Top Coat!

Prize #2

Nyx Girls The Taupe, Kleancolor City Never Sleeps, OPI Don't Mess With OPI, and Kleancolor Holo Blue!


WARNING: OPI's Don't Mess With OPI stains like crazy! I would just toss it out, but after reading many reviews by many bloggers, it seems that a lot of people think the colour is worth the staining!

Prize #3

China Glaze Foie Gras, Kleancolor Holo Chrome, LA Girl Disco Ball, and Nicole be OPI Silver Texture!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

As always thanks for reading! :)

Saran Wrap Marble Nails!

I'm not sure if I like these nails, and that's why I'm not waiting until tomorrow when I have the camera I always use to take these pictures! Sorry if these pictures are a lot worse quality than usual!

My boyfriend taught me how to make chai tea mostly from scratch the way he does, so I took the pictures of my nails with my tea!

For these nails I used: China Glaze Secret Periwinkle, China Glaze For Audrey, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and saran wrap of course!

Thanks for reading! Have a nice cup of tea with me :)!

Star Candy Polish Orion Swatches and Review!

A week or so ago I got the following two Star Candy Polish lovelies in the mail! They were having a sale so I couldn't resist!

From left to right: Yay, and Orion :)

Slightly out of focus (sorry!) bottle shots to show the holographic glitter in Orion!

I decided to put one coat of Orion over one coat of OPI's Don't Mess With OPI for the swatches below! Orion has a wonderful formula, and even with such a small brush (due to the mini bottle) I was able to easily apply all of the glitters! Like with any glitter I own, I moved the brush around in many directions to spread out the glitters and get them where I wanted them. I should mention I did have to search a little for the holographic gold star glitters, but since there aren't tons in the bottle, that was expected and not irritating in the least! How beautiful is this polish?! Love the name also! =)

Inside shot with flash to show off the holographic star, square, and circle glitter!

Expect a swatch and review of Yay! within the next few weeks, LOVE the butterfly glitters in it! I am extremely impressed with Star Candy Polish and would love to own, swatch and review many more in the future! Thanks for reading!

Ellipse Rhinestones over Revlon Dreamer!

Is it just me, or do these totally remind anyone else of alligator backs? This is just two coats of Revlon Dreamer with some multicolour ellipse rhinestones I got off of eBay :).

Happy weekend everyone! I get to meet some more of my boyfriend's family this weekend and I'll be sporting these nails while doing so! As always, thanks for reading! =)

Dollish Polish Swatches and Review!

This is a big and picture-heavy post, with reviews and swatches/partial swatches of five awesomely-formulated Dollish Polish polishes I recently purchased! Below is the mani I did yesterday with three of the five polishes, their names can be found below. Unfortunately I didn't clean up my nails before I took these pictures, but I think you can hardly tell :).

From left to right: Juicy Contradiction, Super Bubblicious, I <3 Nerds, Toad-ally Awesome, and Putting On The Ritzzz! :)

Super Bubblicious is a beautiful pale blue jelly with white bar glitter, tiny white square glitter, small blue hexagon glitter, large pink hexagon and square glitter, and large dark blue square glitter. This polish would probably look best with three coats. For these pictures I only used two thick coats and as you can see, it's slightly streaky.

I <3 Nerds is an adorable medium pink crelly with tiny round purple and blue glitter, small dark blue square glitter, and large pink and light blue square glitter. This polish is perfect at two coats, as you can see in these pictures!

Juicy Contradiction is a pale-ish yellow jelly with very tiny round red glitters, and tiny round orange glitters. This polish seemed the most sheer out of the three coloured polishes I bought, but I used the thinnest coats with this polish. I used three coats in the swatches you see here =).

I tested the two glitter toppers on top of the pedicure I posted a little while ago here!

Toad-ally Awesome is a whole bunch of glitter in a clear suspension base, including teeny teeny tiny dark blue glitter, small gold hexagon and square glitter, small white hexagon and square glitter, large red and white hexagon glitter, and large blue square/rectangular glitter. It was really easy to get at the different glitters despite the settling and sinkage of them :).

Putting On The Ritzzz! consists of tiny, small, and large white and black hexagonal glitter in a clear suspension base. The glitters in this polish were also really easy to get on the nail, I actually painted this on the same way you'd paint on a cream polish!

Thank you so much for reading!
