Black Sheep Lacquer's Badass (new version) and Scatter Heart!

Hey-lo everyone! Today I have two more Black Sheep Lacquer polishes to share with you all!

One of them is a new version of the popular Badass (swatched here by me), a lovely green, blue and grey multichrome! The other is a lovely white crelly polish with red hearts and gold squares called Scatter Heart!

Like with my last post I showed both polishes at one coat (so you guys can see how they look) and then added more coats if I wanted a bit more opacity! I also didn't apply a top coat in any of the pictures, so this is exactly what the polishes look like on their own!

Are you getting tired of me saying BSL polishes have amazing formulas? Well I'm sorry, but they do!

Onto the pictures!

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!

Check out her Etsy shop here, all three polishes featured in this post are up for sale already!

Green and Blue Spiral Nail Art!

Hello everyone! Today I have some spiral/squiggle nail art for you!

For these nails I was inspired by some subtle rose nail art that Candace of MrCandiipants did!

I started off with two coats of my base, and then I just drew on the spirals with a small detailing brush. The base I used here is probably my favourite nail polish I own; green and teal are definitely my favourite colours and this is basically a mix of both! It's a lovely crelly polish that's almost a one-coater, and I swear it's so shiny that putting on my top coat (Essie Good To Go) dulls its finish.

Anyways, onto the photos and colours used!

Teal base: Nyx Girls Mermaid Green

Dark blue/teal spirals: Essie Go Overboard

My right hand! Sorry for the dry cuticles! I'd definitely recommend never stopping caring for your cuticles with oils, butters or cremes because it really takes forever to make them nice again! :P

Thanks so much for stopping by everyone!

Rainbow Zig Zag Nail Art!

Hello everyone! Today I have some super fun and cute zig zag nail art to share!

My nails may look a bit bumpy here because I've decided to start a more serious no-buy, despite the fact that I'm almost out of top coat! I'm trying to conserve what little I have left, especially because I often paint other people's nails!

For this look I used a nail art brush I got off of eBay and then cut almost all of the bristles off of. I started off with two coats of OPI Care to Danse? for a sheer base! Then I just dabbed a drop of one colour at a time on a stack of paper and went to work!

Onto the pictures and names of the colours!

From thumb to pinky: Essie DJ Play that Song, Essie Bobbing for Baubles, Essie Tart Deco, Essie Mod Square, and NOPI "Baby" Blue!

From pinky to thumb: American Apparel Mount Royal, Essie Mojito Madness, Color Club Almost Famous, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and American Apparel Poppy!

Both hands together!

Thanks for reading everybody! I'm back into nail art and feeling more like myself, so expect more fun designs! If you guys ever have any requests for a certain colour comparison post, a swatch of a colour, a review of a nail care product, or a certain kind of nail art and/or tutorial just let me know in the comments or on another of my social media pages! :)

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! :)
