Glam Polish Coven & Hex Nail Jewelry Charms for Nail Crazy in March!

 Hey everyone! Today I have some good luck charm nails for the last week of Nail Crazy In March to share!

I am currently in my last week of school until September, and I am very excited to be done for a while! Soon I'll have tons of time to blog and paint my nails, so expect more posts in the next little while!

Anyways, onto the nails!

Firstly, I should explain my thought process behind these nails. As a student, when I think of good luck I think of exams. So I decided to put together a super quick but fancy look that I would wear to an exam for good luck!

For any simple look, I love to throw in some Hex Nail Jewelry for extra interest and glamour! And being charms, I feel like they fit the prompt quite well!

For the red nails I applied just one coat Glam Polish Coven and a coat of top coat (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri this time). This polish dried quite textured so it would have needed another coat of top coat to be close to smooth. I had a huge bubble problem with Insta-Dri top coat once again, as you can very clearly see on my charmed nails.

Coven was so lovely to work with! It is stuffed full of holographic pigment and glitter, check out my Instagram if you'd like to see a video of it in the Sun! I'd like to wear it with two coats next time to see if the colour gets more deep or rich, because I suspect it might! I hardly had to cleanup these nails because the formula and brush were so lovely!

What do you guys think of this polish or Hex Nail Jewelry charms? Be sure to enter my giveaway to win three charms of your choice from them if you haven't already, it ends in six days!

Cat Emoji Nails Featuring piCture pOlish Forget Me Not!

Hey everyone! Today I have a quick post on some fun cat emoji nails to share!

My computer has completely died and been sent in for repairs since I last posted on here :P. In good news, the warranty would have expired today but it died yesterday so we sent it in just in time! I'm now commandeering one of my boyfriend's three laptops (he's into computers) and I managed to get these pictures from a backup on my external hard drive! So all in all, it's basically all good news as my computer was laggy and quite hot most of the time leading up to it completely dying.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with two coats of the gorgeous piCture pOlish Forget Me Not and a coat of top coat.

The formula, the brush, the dry time... everything about this polish is perfection. And oh my goodness, it's absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Also, you could probably get away with one coat with this baby.

This is the second polish I've tried from this brand and I'm already head over heels in love!

See those flakies? Well guess what, they're holographic flakies!!

And here are the kitties! I'll embed my Instagram tutorial for this look down below in case you guys are interested!

As for the polishes, I used American Apparel T-shirt (white), Revlon Timeless (light grey), American Apparel 7th and Alameda (medium/dark grey), American Apparel Hassid (black), American Apparel Rose Bowl (pink), OPI Red Hot Rio (red) and Julep Claire (blue).

Here is the little guy I did with my non-dominant (left) hand. I feel like he came out kind of funny but also quite good considering it was with my bad hand!

What do you guys think of these nails or this gorgeous piCture pOlish polish? I'd love to hear in the comments!

I decided to do some cat emojis on top of the gorgeous @picturepolish Forget Me Not! 💅 The song is The Hardest Button To Button by The White Stripes! 😄 #nailartvideo #nailarttutorial #nailvideo #nailsvideos #nailsartvideos #hairandfashionaddict #looknaildecor #fabulouslytrendy #nail #ahlamalnajdi_nailsart #nailsartcentral #nailsartclips #nailsarttut #simplynotlogical

Saint Patrick Nails for Nail Crazy in March!

Yo yo yo my lovely people! Today I have some Saint Patrick nail art to share for Nail Crazy in March!

I'm getting this post up a couple days late because of family stuffs. Enough about that though, let's talk about nails! My lovely boyfriend bought me eight polishes from Harlow & Co last night and I can't freaking wait to get them! Rest assured you'll see some gorgeous KBShimmer, Glam Polish, Polished by KPT and Crows Toes polishes in the near future!

Anyways, onto the nails!

So these nails are based on the myth that Saint Patrick banished all of snakes from Ireland by chasing them into the ocean with his staff. Really though, snakes have never lived in Ireland :P.

Rather than explain how I did these, I'll just embed my Instagram video tutorial down below! As for the polishes, I used American Apparel Mount Royal topped with KBShimmer Will Yule Marry Me? for the ocean, KBShimmer In Bare Form for the sand, Deborah Lippmann Hannah (green) and Jessa (red) for the snakes and Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer 3D for the staff.

I'm officially madly in love with KBShimmer polishes! Both of the ones I used here were so easy to work with and In Bare Form is so holographic and basically my perfect nude!

I really don't think the gold jives well with the rest of these colours and in general these didn't turn out as cool as I thought they would. They're almost a nail fail in my mind, but I'm still happy that I came up with a unique idea for this challenge. What do you guys think of these nails or these KBShimmers? I'd love to know!

Here's the super quick tutorial!

Here's the tutorial! The two main base colours are by the lovely @kbshimmer (Will Yule Marry Me? and In Bare Form) and the song is You Never Give Me Your Money by The Beatles! This look is based on the myth that #saintpatrick banished all of the snakes from Ireland by chasing them into the ocean! The two @deborahlippmann polishes are from her Girls collection and they're Hannah (green) and Jessa (red)! #nailsvideos #nailsartvideos #hairandfashionaddict #looknaildecor #fabulouslytrendy #nail #ahlamalnajdi_nailsart #nailsartcentral #nailsartclips #nailsarttut #simplynotlogical

Thanks so much for taking a look guys!! I'm thinking of posting more often on here (like three days a week) since I only have one more midterm (my eighth of the semester :P) to write so I might have some more free time. We'll see! I'm not sure what I'll be back with but it'll be soon! Happy Saturday guys! =)

KB Shimmer Vicious Circles Swatch & Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a gorgeous KBShimmer polish to share!

I'm currently marathoning Dexter (once again) with my family and I'm really loving it! I probably should be doing homework instead but it's a bit of a less busy week than usual and I've been feeling stressed lately, so whatever :P. Tonight's post is a bit of a quick one because it's getting late here in my part of Canada.

Anyways, onto the nails!

I started off with two coats of ACI Yellow Stopper Top Coat from Sally's as a peel off base coat. After that had dried, I went in with two coats of Vicious Circles and a coat of top coat. I probably should have done two because I noticed that a few of the glitters had fallen off by the time I took pictures of these!

The formula was perfect, the dry-time was great and for a jelly it was quite opaque! It was a dream to work with and dang is it pretty. Also, it's stuffed full of gorgeous holographic glitters and it's so freaking squishy!

I know I won't be using Yellow Stopper as a base coat ever again because I ended up with a huge chip just a day after applying this polish. I'll report back on wear-time of KBShimmer polishes the next time I wear one with a good base coat!

What do you guys think of this polish or KBShimmer polishes in general? I think I'll probably fall in love with the brand based on how gorgeous they are and the formula on this baby!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I think I'll be back with another green or blue because I'm in lurvvve (as you may already know). Happy Monday y'all! =)

Butter London All Hail The Queen Swatch & Review!

Hello my lovely readers! Today I have a swatch of a gorgeous neutral polish called Butter London All Hail The Queen to share!

I know it has been forever and a day since I posted but now that I'm back at school (and therefore back into a routine) I'll be back to posting every two or three days! I find my posting is more frequent and less sporadic when I'm in school despite the decrease in free time, probably because I already have a bit of a schedule going on so I'm kind of in planning mode. Anyways, onto the nails!

I ordered this polish quite a while ago when Butter London had a sale going on as well as a free shipping over blank dollars promotion. I've come to realize I have a mad love for brown polishes but I still sometimes worry that they're a bit boring. That's definitely not the case with this mid-toned holographic beauty!

Hidden in this polish is also a very fine pink shimmer, so when you're out in the Sun and you look at the glare on your nails it's more pink than white! I really love the added shimmer because it makes the polish even more interesting and it was a lovely surprise to notice!

What you see here is two coats and a coat of top coat, which isn't fully opaque when you hold your nails up to the Sun. That's okay with me because I was in a hurry and it's opaque enough for my light box!

This polish applied like the first half of the brand's name, butter! It was so easy to work with and so fast-drying, and even though I used the same top coat I always use (Essie Good to Go) this polish looked even shinier than most!

What do you guys think of this polish or Butter London polishes in general? I'd love to know in the comments!

Thanks so much for reading everyone! I'm actually still wearing this polish as I type this so I'm not sure what kind of nails I'll have for you next! Happy Thursday! =)

What I've Been Wearing Lately: Color Club Eternal Beauty, Sally Hansen Sweetie & Illamasqua Facet

Hey everyone, I'm back! Today I have three recent manis I've worn and haven't blogged about to share with you!

I am officially done my second and final year of college and I won't be back in school until next fall for University. In other words, expect a lot more manis and posts from me for a while! :) This post will be relatively short (in words, not pictures!) because I have some errands to run and celebrating to do today because my boyfriend will be done school as well in a few hours! Some of these pictures are just taken from my phone because I didn't get to my light box until I had tip wear, or I never bothered to clean them up so I didn't want to take proper pictures! :P

First up is Color Club Eternal Beauty. This polish is an easy two-coater with a lovely formula and the holo effect is not altered by top coat! So gorgeous!

Next up we have Sally Hansen Sweetie, a gorgeous textured matte polish from their Sugar Coat line! This polish was also an easy two-coater and it wore so well! I do find that it takes a day or less for the sharp texture bits on the end of your nails to wear off, so be careful if you want to scratch your face and it hasn't been a day since you applied it!

Lastly, we have Illamasqua Facet. This polish is everything I wanted it to be and more and I'm really glad I splurged on it! It has gold and copper/orange shimmer and I think that's such a cool combo! It applied like butter and like the other two polishes in this post, it was an easy two-coater!

Excuse the sad finals week cuticles, I just wanted to include a macro shot so you can see the shimmer I was talking about!

Thank you so much for reading everyone! I'd love to know what you think of these polishes in the comments! I'll have a fun little nail art post using a Rainbow Honey polish up soon (see my Instagram for a picture)! Happy Thursday everyone! =)

Butter London Knackered Swatch and Review!

Hey everyone! Today I have a bunch of pictures of Butter London Knackered and a review to share!

I meant to get this post up Monday but after such a long day, a midterm and a busy weekend I was just exhausted! Then last night and this morning I had to finish up a computer science lab! I finally feel better today though because I slept really well last night. Our term papers were due Monday for genetics and I'm just realizing now that I don't have to worry about it anymore and I can relax a bit!

I recently discovered yet another way to procrastinate! :P Have any of you heard of Candy Box 2? It's my new obsession. I'm a bit stuck because I can beat the Bat King and the Devil no problem, but I think I have to save up a billion lollipops to buy the Sorceress' hat to progress any further. Anyways haha, onto a ton of pictures and a review!

Knackered is a GORGEOUS (and I usually refrain from using caps) multichrome polish with small silver holographic microglitter! The base is a blue-grey metallic colour but the multichrome shimmer shifts from green/turquoise to purple and pink and since there's so much of the shimmer it only looks blue-grey in very low lighting. It usually looks green or pinky purple!

It is a bit of a sheer polish so I ended up applying four thin coats (and a coat of top coat) for the opacity you see here. I know that sounds pretty darn sheer and like it would be a pain to apply, but the formula is so lovely and it's so fast-drying that it seemed like applying a normal two or three coat polish. I absolutely love Butter London polishes and I love their brushes!

Like I said above, the formula was lovely. It dried fast, self-leveled, applied like butter, and was only slightly brushstrokey. That's just what happens with multichrome polishes and it was hardly noticeable as you can see from the pictures!

Another super awesome thing about this polish is how dang holographic the tiny glitters are. This polish is so unique and I really think the holographic glitters make it so much better! All of the pictures taken on my chair (the grey background) are in indirect sunlight and the glitters still look holographic! They also look holographic in my light box (black background) and my light box is where holo things go to die! Craziness!

I know when I read something's a four-coater I think it's totally not worth the effort, but the formula on this baby is so good that you really shouldn't let that discourage you! You could also use three  thicker coats and get the same opacity!

My dad even thought this polish was freaking awesome, everyone I showed it to did in fact. I wore this for four days and it did chip a little, but I think that was because my actual nail got a little chip in it.

Overall I think this is a beautiful polish that is totally worth the money (17 dollars plus tax here in Canada) and a perfect present for anyone into nails!

Thank you so much for having a look everyone, I'd love to hear what you think of this polish in the comments! I'll try to prepare some posts for the next two weeks because finals are about to start and I'll be busy again! Happy Wednesday everyone! =D
