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! :)

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!

From left to right: Yay, and Orion :)

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! =)

Expect a swatch and review of Yay! within the next few weeks, LOVE the butterfly glitters in it! I am extremely impressed with Star Candy Polish and would love to own, swatch and review many more in the future! Thanks for reading!

Galaxy Nails Take Two? :)

I know I've done galaxy nails more than twice, but I think this is only my second galaxy manicure post on this blog! I was gonna go in and add cool triangles with other pastel colours but I didn't end up having time. The base is Essie's Devil's Advocate which is SUCH an awesome colour! It's a very dark purple jelly that looks only looks purple in the sun (and black everywhere else)! :)

From left to right: Essie Devil's Advocate, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, American Apparel Coney Island, Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, and a homemade holographic topcoat made of a clear coat and a few drops of a silver holographic polish :)

I'm really trying to make my blog nicer and nicer lately and any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks for reading!

First Attempt at a Jelly Sandwich :)

This is just one coat of China Glaze's Ride The Waves, one coat of Sally Hansen's In The Spotlight, and then another coat of Ride The Waves (and base and top coat)! I think this almost looks like gel polish because it's so smooth, shiny, and jelly-like :).

OPI's Get Your Number (Liquid Sand) Swatch :D

I decided to splurge yesterday and buy one of the Mariah Carey Liquid Sand polishes :). I'm very glad I did and I hope to get more soon! This is just two slightly thick coats, and pre-cleanup!

Here's an out of focus picture to show the holographic glitter a little better!

Pastel Gradient with Black Flowers =)

This is just a white base (American Apparel's T-shirt), a homemade holographic topcoat, Orly's Liquid Vinyl, plus the gradient colours! The colours I used for the gradient (from pink, to orange, to yellow... to purple) are: OPI's Mod About You, American Apparel's Mannequin, Julep's Blake, American Apparel's Office, Sally Hansen's Barracuda, and American Apparel's L'Esprit :).
