Black and White Glitter Topper Comparison and Julep Adriana!

Hey all! Today I have a swatch of Julep Adriana and a black and white glitter polish comparison to show you featuring two indie polishes!

I bought a bunch of black and white glitter polishes recently and I've hardly/never used them! I kind of fell in love with all the glitter toppers featured in this post and I'm thinking of doing a gradient topped with one of them and posting that tomorrow!

I've made myself a light box but I still need some white light lightbulbs and a few lamps, so bear with the inconsistent lighting! Maybe I'll post my gradient topped with black and white glitter tonight if I get my light box in working order by then!

Anyways, onto the pictures!

Julep Adriana

I took a few pictures in the Sun of Adriana after I took these shade pictures, and I noticed it had bubbled pretty badly. What you see here is two coats and no top coat! I didn't wait very long between coats, but I waited as long as I do swatching Black Sheep Lacquer polishes and they have never bubbled on me!

Thumb and ring finger: Hard Candy Black Tie Optional

Middle finger: Black Sheep Lacquer A Letter to the New York Post

They were all super easy to work with and had lovely formulas!

China Glaze Inner Beauty and Simple Cartoony Flowers!

Hello everyone! Today I have swatches of China Glaze Inner Beauty and some simple floral nail art to share!

I'm really not sure about what lighting looks the best for my pictures so lately the lighting of my pictures has been very varied, I apologize! I'm thinking of making or buying a light box for more consistent pictures, let me know what you think I should do or a good light box you've heard of in the comments!

Onto the pictures!

China Glaze Inner Beauty

This is three coats of Inner Beauty and a coat of top coat! It had a lovely formula and it seemed to dry pretty quick!

Thanks for reading everybody! I think I'll be painting some nails today and tonight I get to babysit my boyfriend's little baby niece, I'm so excited! Hope you all have a lovely day planned as well! :)

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!!

Star Candy Polish Yay!

Star Candy Polish 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!

My Last Julep Maven Box (April It Girl) and My Naked Short Nails!

I accidentally forgot to skip another month of my Julep Maven subscription, and so I cancelled it finally =(. Anyways, this was the April It Girl box, complete with a little rock candy lollipop :).



From left to right (yellow to green): Abbie, Eden, and Mackenzie :)



My nails after removing my last mani (OPI's Get Your Number (liquid sand) here)!



And the reason why I cut them so freaking short.


Look at the difference!



All Nail Envy-ed up! I think it's a good idea for me to finally use Nail Envy as the instructions indicate, and since it's final exam week next week, it's also probably a good idea to not be bothering with nail art for a little while! Thanks for reading!

We had a visit with my friend and her family this weekend so I did some nails! I also did my sister's, so here comes a bunch of pictures! :)

For these ones I used Essie's No More Film, L.A. Girl Disco Brites' Disco Ball, and Julep's Matte Topcoat!




For these ones I used American Apparel's California Trooper, some glitter that came in this set, and Julep's Matte Topcoat!



And finally, for these I used China Glaze's Bahamian Escape, Julep's Blake, Essie's Play Date, and Orly's Liquid Vinyl!
