Hidden Gradient Nails Part Two!

So I was without a doubt the laziest Bailey nail-art-wise in history last night. I think this is the first time I've ever gone to bed with one hand finished and the other hand not! I decided to post my left hand by itself yesterday, thinking I'd do my right hand the same so there would be no point in waiting. Much to my surprise, my nail art laziness stayed with me and I couldn't be bothered doing my right hand the same as my left this morning (because it requires a bunch of cleanup). I decided to do the reverse of my left hand design on my right hand. You can check out the colours I used in my previous post here!

Onto the pictures!

Thanks for reading! I apologize for not making it one post!

Hidden Gradient Nails!

I'm quite in love with the nails I have to show you all today! The only reason they ended up looking like this (and not like a gradient with a cool black and white glitter topper) is because I really wasn't feeling the gradient (shown in the third photo of this post). I have a bit of a picture tutorial for this look because I decided to take pictures along the way for once, let me know if I should do that from now on!

Anyways, onto the photos and polishes used! :)

I started with two coats of my favourite white, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

I then sponged on a gradient of China Glaze Oh How Street It Is (orange), OPI Needs  Sunglasses? (yellow), and Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (blue :P)!

I finished off this look with a nail art brush and some more My Boyfriend Scales Walls!

Color Club Halo Hues Swatches: Over The Moon and Beyond =)

It took me a ridiculously long time to get into holographic polishes and I'm really wondering why! These are two of the four Color Club Halo Hues I ordered online the other day, Over The Moon and Beyond. Can I just say how wonderful Nail Polish Canada is? My package took two days to arrive after it was shipped and they even included a lollipop! The polishes were packed very well so there was no way they could have arrived damaged :). The other polish I ordered from them was Nfu Oh Aqua Base. It's a base coat to be used with holographic polishes to make application easier, and it definitely does its job!

For these nails I did one coat of Aqua Base, two coats of Over The Moon, then one coat of Beyond with just the brush from the bottle (plus one coat of my current top coat, Essie Good To Go)! The first three pictures were taken outside in indirect sunlight, and the last four were taken inside with the flash.

Proof that I always paint both my hands (since I wear any design I post for one or two days)!

Thanks for reading my lovelies! =)

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! :)

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 :)!

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!
