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!

Saran Wrap Marble Nails

For these nails I used: China Glaze Secret Periwinkle, China Glaze For Audrey, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and saran wrap of course!

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!

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!

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 :).

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 :).

Dollish Polish Super Bubblicious


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.

Dollish Polish I <3 Nerds

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!

Dollish Polish Juicy Contradiction

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!

Simple Blue and Yellow Taping Mani!

This is just one coat of Color Club Almost Famous (an almost one-coater, it could be if you did a thick coat) and then one coat of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue over my taped-off nails! :)





I have a job interview coming up (YAY!), so my next mani will be a lot less colourful than my usual manis! Thanks for reading! :)

Chevron Nails Take Two!

I think this is one of my favourite manis to date! :) I started with Essie's Bikini So Teeny thinking I'd be stamping over it, then completely changed my mind as you can see!
