Thermal Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Jump In The Fire and Enter Sandman!

Hello everyone! Today I have three lovely thermal Black Sheep Lacquer polishes to share!*

Get ready for a crapload of pictures! I put Erin's "it will stand on it's own at one coat" claim to the test, and I'm happy to say it's no lie! I included a picture of each polish at one coat so you can see for yourself!

All of these polishes had lovely formulas, so let's get to the swatches!

Smells Like Teen Spirit- one coat

Smells Like Teen Spirit- two coats

Erin said the pigment she used for this polish was hard to work with, and the streaks of pigment seen here were just from the polish not being mixed enough. So I'm sure she'll do more testing and make sure the ones she sells are mixed well enough!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! Erin sent me 6 other lovelies last week so I'll have two more Black Sheep Lacquer posts coming your way, including four new duochromes that are being released as I swatch them! Check out her Etsy shop here, all three polishes featured in this post are up for sale already!

*These polishes were generously sent to me for swatching purposes.

Black and White Random Designs!

Hello my lovely readers! Today I have some black and white random design nail art to share!

I'm super happy with the way these came out, unlike how I felt about my last post :P.

For these nails I used a fairly small nail art brush and a very small nail art brush (both modified by me to make them thin enough for nail art). I basically sat down knowing I wanted to have polka dots on one nail and no other ideas! After finishing my first hand, I decided to do similar designs on my other hand to try and match my first designs.

Anyways, onto the pictures!

Black used: Orly Liquid Vinyl

White used: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

 Thank you so much for stopping by everyone, I hope you're all doing well! :)

Half Moon Triangle Nail Art!

Hi everyone! Today I have some really simple triangle half moon nails to show you!

For the first time ever I painted my nails with insufficient light, and it definitely shows! My triangles are all wonky and there are bald spots in my base colour! :P

Anyways, since I'll probably be repainting my nails pretty soon and posting a better mani soon, let's just get on with it and onto the pictures!

Blue base: Black Sheep Lacquer Badass

Black triangles/half moons: Orly Liquid Vinyl

Thank you so much for reading everybody! I'll have some more interesting nail art and Black Sheep Lacquer swatches for you all very soon! :)

OPI Black Shatter over Zoya Miranda!

Hello everybody! Today I have a crackle over textured polish look to share with you all!

I finally picked up some non-acetone remover so the next post you see from me will feature some Hex Nail Jewelry!

I broke my no-buy in a big way two days ago because a thrift store near my house had a 50% off sale for certain clothing items. I bought mostly fall clothes, so it was just back to school shopping right? :P I realized that I ended up getting 50% off of everything because the cashier lady must have messed up! Anyways, my friend Sarah and I decided to film our haul and film a little lookbook of us wearing the clothes! The videos will be up on her channel within a week, so if you're curious, here's her channel!

Onto the nails!

This is two coats of Zoya Miranda underneath one coat of OPI Black Shatter! How awesome does this look? This idea was brought to me by the author of Blueberry Nails, you can check out her blog here!

Thanks for reading everybody! :)

My Picks from the Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Collection: Swatches and Review!

Hello everybody! Today I have swatches of the five Sally Hansen Sugar Coat polishes I picked up from the States last month to share!

I'm going to go ahead and talk about the formula here because almost all of them had the same formula, I'll mention the differences under the pictures if there are any! These polishes were quite easy to work with as long as you applied thick coats (to get the polish where you want it and to not build a grit barrier and an uneven line). Most of these polishes are white-based and most of them took two thick coats (as thin coats aren't really an option with these polishes). Dry time was really quick and to my surprise, I like these polishes as much as glitter-containing textured matte polishes!

Onto the swatches!

Sweetie- two coats

Lick-O-Rich- one coat

You can see here what the finish of these polishes look like at one coat, there are shiny and smooth bits as well as gritty matte ones!

Sour Apple- two coats

Cherry Drop- two coats

This polish was a jelly polish, not a white-based creme like the other four Sugar Coats in this post. It was super opaque but at two coats it still had VNL because it's a jelly. This polish had a longer drying time than the rest, and it had a more subtle textured matte effect.

Sugar Fix- two coats

Thanks for reading and taking a look! :)
