Hard Candy Black Tie Optional over a Pink to Orange Gradient!

Hey everybody! Check out the light box I made all by myself!

I can take pictures at night and have consistent and even light!!!!!!!!!

I took these pictures last night! I'm so happy and excited if you can't tell! Today I have swatches of China Glaze Dance Baby and a pink to orange gradient topped with black and white glitter for you! The lighting doesn't look amazing in the swatch pictures, but I think that's because Dance Baby is a bad colour on me and it makes my skin look weird and kind of tan. However, I am so happy with the gradient with glitter pictures because I think the lighting looks awesome!

Onto the photos!

This is two coats of China Glaze Dance Baby and no top coat! The formula of this polish was awesome and it was almost a one-coater! This polish was super easy to work with.

The orange used in this gradient was Essie Tart Deco and the black and white glitter is the famous Hard Candy Black Tie Optional!

Thanks for having a look! Please let me know in the comments if you think the new lighting looks good and if you prefer it and the background over what I used to use! :)

Black and White Glitter Topper Comparison and Julep Adriana!

Hey all! Today I have a swatch of Julep Adriana and a black and white glitter polish comparison to show you featuring two indie polishes!

I bought a bunch of black and white glitter polishes recently and I've hardly/never used them! I kind of fell in love with all the glitter toppers featured in this post and I'm thinking of doing a gradient topped with one of them and posting that tomorrow!

I've made myself a light box but I still need some white light lightbulbs and a few lamps, so bear with the inconsistent lighting! Maybe I'll post my gradient topped with black and white glitter tonight if I get my light box in working order by then!

Anyways, onto the pictures!

I took a few pictures in the Sun of Adriana after I took these shade pictures, and I noticed it had bubbled pretty badly. What you see here is two coats and no top coat! I didn't wait very long between coats, but I waited as long as I do swatching Black Sheep Lacquer polishes and they have never bubbled on me!

Thumb and ring finger: Hard Candy Black Tie Optional

Index finger: Dollish Polish Putting on the Ritzzz!

Middle finger: Black Sheep Lacquer A Letter to the New York Post

Pinkie finger: Sally Hansen Tweedy

They were all super easy to work with and had lovely formulas!

Let me know if you have a favourite or any questions in the comments! Thanks for reading my lovely people! :)

China Glaze Inner Beauty and Simple Cartoony Flowers!

Hello everyone! Today I have swatches of China Glaze Inner Beauty and some simple floral nail art to share!

I'm really not sure about what lighting looks the best for my pictures so lately the lighting of my pictures has been very varied, I apologize! I'm thinking of making or buying a light box for more consistent pictures, let me know what you think I should do or a good light box you've heard of in the comments!

Onto the pictures!

This is three coats of Inner Beauty and a coat of top coat! It had a lovely formula and it seemed to dry pretty quick!

The blue seen here is Black Sheep Lacquer Aquabat (without glitter), the orange is Black Sheep Lacquer Orange Blossom, the pink is Butter London Trout Pout, and the green is Julep Adriana!

Thanks for reading everybody! I think I'll be painting some nails today and tonight I get to babysit my boyfriend's little baby niece, I'm so excited! Hope you all have a lovely day planned as well! :)

My Collection!

Hey everybody! I'm absolutely exhausted after spending the day at the lake and having to swim really far (maybe half a kilometre) to rescue a tube that was floating away! I felt like an idiot because I was a few centimetres from reaching it when the wind blew and then I had to follow it to the end of the lake.

Anyways, today I have my collection of nail polish, nail supplies and nail art supplies to share! The pictures aren't the best because I'm so tired after being in the Sun and swimming so much today!

Here are my babies! The grand total is 246, which is probably a bit much, but I love each and every one of them! That's excluding base coats, clear top coats and stripers!

I have more Essies than any other brand, 24 to be exact! They take up more than a whole shelf! So do my Black Sheep Lacquers and OPIs though!

You can see how I open difficult to open bottles on the dark pink OPI here. For added grip you can wrap another elastic band around the bottle part of the polish!

All my supplies!

Clear base coats and top coats and cotton pads!

These two bins aren't super organized and a lot of things are stacked on top of each other so you kind of have to search for things!

I have a ridiculous amount of nail polish remover, I know. But the giant bottle of acetone is almost a litre and it was on sale for six dollars at Sally's!

Thanks for taking a look everyone, I hope you're having a lovely day! Feel free to ask me where I got anything or what anything is in the comments! :)

Thanks so much! I'll always take requests for nail art, swatches, or any other kind of nail polish related post any of you would like to see! I think I'll post a nail polish and nail art supplies collection post later today, because I got a couple of cool scrapbooking containers to store my glitters, nail art brushes, and other tools yesterday! :)

On a side note, this is my 100th post, I seriously can't believe I've posted that much since I made this blog!

Sinful Colors Mint Apple with Diamond Holographic Glitter!

Hey everybody! Today I have some swatches of Sinful Colors Mint Apple and some awesome glitter polka dots to share!

Mint Apple had a perfect formula and this was just two easy coats! I got the holographic diamond glitter off of eBay here in case you're curious!

Onto the photos!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Hitman, First Polish on the Moon and Confused Canary :)

Hello everybody! Today I have three more Black Sheep Lacquer lovelies to show you all! These polishes were generously sent to me for swatches! I think I'll be putting together a black and white glitter topper comparison post soon, because in addition to BSL A Letter to the New York Post I have two other similar toppers.

These polishes had awesome formulas as expected, so onto the pictures!

First up is Hitman, a very dark grey linear holographic polish with small silver holographic glitters tossed in too! This polish is too beautiful for words, I'd seriously suggest you just buy it! This is one coat over two different dark Essie colours, but as you can see, the polish looks the same over both so any dark colour will work beautifully! I had to post five photos instead of four for this one because it's so gorgeous!

Next is First Polish on the Moon, a neon pink jelly polish with small silver holographic glitter! I took pictures in sunlight to show the holographic glitter and in indirect light to show a more colour-accurate swatch of the polish. This is two coats over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls!

Lastly, we have Confused Canary, a matte black, white, yellow and pink glitter topper with tiny silver holographic glitter throughout! I think I got every kind of glitter on my nails except the matte white bar glitter, in case you're wondering what glitters this polish contains! This is one coat over my undies, China Glaze For Audrey (turquoise), Color Club Poptastic (pink) and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (white)!

Thanks for reading everyone! I've added a bunch of buttons to the right sidebar so you can find me on other social media sites! If you followed me on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram I'd be so happy! :)
