Mani Monday!

Hello again! Hope you guys had a great weekend. I've been itching to do some nail art lately so I decided to do some striped accent nails. I used Black Creme by wet n wild Wild Shine for the black stripes and piCture pOlish's Vampire as the base. To do the gold stripe I just mixed some gold glitter from the craft store into a bit of clear polish. I cut some scotch tape into really thin strips and used a thin nail art brush to paint the black and gold on. Not the neatest job but I'm happy with it!

piCture pOlish- Vampire

Good afternoon! Today I swatched an indie polish- it's been a while since I last swatched an indie. I love piCture pOlish. Their bottles are adorable! Anywho, Vampire is a deep blood red (almost a bit purple-y) jelly polish. The formula is a slight bit thicker and applied kind of patchy. You would need 3-4 coats to get it opaque and even, but the color makes all work worth it! The photos show 3 coats without top coat.

Zoya- Veruschka

Hi! This week's polish is Zoya's Veruschka. I've been wanting this polish for ages! When Zoya announced that they were re-releasing some of their MatteVelvet polishes, I ordered Veruschka immediately. Now that the weather is starting to really feel like fall, I decided to try it out. Oh my goodness, this polish is gorgeous! I've always thought of matte polishes as dull and wasn't into them. This polish proved me wrong, it is anything but. It's a deep evergreen (almost emerald) with lighter green shimmer. Application was easy, the formula was smooth and not too runny. The photos show two coats without topcoat (But it looks just as amazing with topcoat).

Mani Monday!

Good morning, it's been a while since I've done a mani monday hasn't it? I decided to do a water marble on my ring fingers (I forgot to do the thumbs, haha). The petals on my left hand didn't turn out as neatly as my right one, but I'm still happy with it! I used OPI's My Vampire is Buff, A-taupe the Space Needle and Color Club's Macaroon Swoon. The photos show it with top coat. (Please excuse the messy work.)

OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Eek! I owe you guys two posts this week (I'm so sorry)! Please don't throw tomatoes at me. Today's second polish isn't anything new, but it is a lovely one! My Boyfriend Scales Walls is a very light grey creme, but it isn't so light that it can be confused for white. It's cool-toned- sometimes it looks like a pastel slate blue. The formula is great considering it's a pastel, three thin coats to become opaque!

OPI- My Vampire is Buff

Hello again! This polish isn't a new release, but I'm definitely happy I picked it up. My Vampire is Buff is, as the name says, a buff color. It's like a very pastel brown with a tinge of yellow in it. Wonderful nude polish! Three easy coats with minimal streaking or patchiness- application was a breeze.

essie- Partner In Crime

Good morning! Today I have another polish from the new essie fall 2014 Dress to Kilt collection. It's a cool-toned dark chocolate brown creme. Partner in Crime has an even better formula than Dress to Kilt- it's a one coater! The color's gorgeous, too! Perfect for fall- I love it. The photos show one coat with no topcoat.
