Dark Green Glittery Nails Featuring Hex Nail Jewelry Charms and Star Candy Polish Orion!

Hey everybody! Today I have some nails featuring some Hex Nail Jewelry and some Star Candy Polish to share!

I'm currently in my busiest week of the semester, which in a way I'm happy about because I'm getting it over with fairly early. I have lab write-ups, pre-labs, midterms and lots of tutoring to do! I'm still struggling with having the motivation to work on those things (apart from tutoring) but I'm trying to make myself work on it because I really have to. Do you guys have a lot of stuff to do this week too? Anyway, onto the nails!


I started off with two easy coats of Revlon Rain Forest, a gorgeous dark green polish with gold shimmer throughout. Then, on all of my nails except the ones I planned to put charms on, I applied one coat of Star Candy Polish Orion (I posted about it previously, here). I adhered the charms to my nails with a glob of top coat, and I applied one coat of top coat to most of my nails and two to the ones with charms (as always, Essie Good to Go).


These nails turned out a little more fancy and glamorous than I'm used to, but I found them so pretty that I didn't mind.


The studs stayed on for the duration I wore these nails for (at least two days, I'm not sure how long exactly) and weren't threatening to fall off. I really love Hex Nail Jewelry for that, their charms stay on very well!


How cool is this Sun charm? I know my right hand can't pose without looking ridiculous, I'm sorry!


What do you guys think of these nails or these charms? I'd love to know! I'll be back with some pastel gradient nails in a week that you would have seen if you follow me on Instagram! Happy Monday! :)

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!

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!

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! =)
