Galaxy/Space Nails!

Hey hey!

Today I did the Monday Nail Art challenge for Polishholics Anonymous, a facebook group I'm in for nail/beauty bloggers :D The winning theme for this week was galaxy nails! I used a foundation sponge and a bunch of colors to do these. The base color is China Glaze Black Diamond, which is a gorgeous black creme with tiny silver speckles (2 coats).

This is my first time doing galaxy nails! I put the Big Dipper on my ring finger haha :D






 Okay yayyy! I'm happy with how these came out, I was afraid the colors wouldn't blend well. Sooo tell me what you guys think. Do you like these? Have you tried galaxy nails? Thanks for reading :)

OPI Megawatt?! Swatch

Hey everyone :)

Today's manicure is OPI's Megawatt?! Isn't the name great? And appropriate, since this polish is just the color of a lightbulb! Take a look ;)


Megawatt is a yellow-green shimmer with a whitish base. On the nail the polish looks pearly. Megawatt is more opaque than I thought it was, and I used three coats in these pictures :D



You can see the yellowish tint a bit better in the last picture, taken in the shade. Megawatt just glows on my nails, I love it :)

Also, I'm preparing a giveaway since I hit 100 followers not that long ago, just so you guys know! So keep and eye on this space for that, it's coming very soon :) I'm so thankful for all of my readers, and bewildered at times that you guys take the time to read and comment. I just wanted you guys to know that, even without me doing a giveaway to show my appreciation! 

Okay, have a good Friday! Woohoo :D

BeautySewnIn

So more and more I've been subscribing to gurus in the UK.

It gives me a sense of first what to expect in terms of shopping

and second ... it sort of takes the anxiety out of the situation.

I have never been to England before and watching English

girls on youtube...just makes me feel a bit more relaxed...

sort of like Im getting a little taste of what Im in for.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share a couple videos

of the most recent channel I've subscribed to - beautysewnin



She is so adorable !

Nail de Royale Review!

Heyyy :)

So a company called Nail de Royale was kind enough to send me a few of their products for me to review :) They are a nail supply company based in California, and they sell anything you would need for your nails including China Glaze, Essie, Nubar polishes, Swavorski crystals, cuticle oil, UV lamps, etc! Here's what they sent me:




(L-R) La Rosa Crackle Shatter Polish in Feeling Blue? and Omega Labs Nail Art Striper Brush (no color listed, but it's dark red)



(L-R) Truth of Isis Solid Star glitters in Sunset and Spring Desire Star



  
Enlarge this one, it's a closeup :)

So, I used the two Isis glitters in a manicure on top of Essie's Sand Tropez. These glitters are really easy to place one my one on the nail, and would also make great frankens (say, in a jelly polish :) They also are of a good size, they weren't too big for my nails. I really recommend these for nail art since they're so easy to manoeuvre. I'd like to try a gradient with these :P






I didn't put top coat so you could clearly see the width/size of the glitters, but of course you would put top coat on :)


Next, here is the crackle polish and the striper they sent me on my nails.


 As always with crackle polishes, you can apply it thin. thick, diagonally, horizontally, etc to get different effects. This polish 'cracked' quickly and dried to a matte finish. I think the color and finish of this polish would look lovely any way you applied it. Just look at that bright, almost neon blue!

The nail art striper was a rich dark red, perfect for some fall nail art. As I demonstrated on my pinky, you can really vary the width of the lines you paint, depending on pressure. The brush of the striper is thin and good for details, and the nail polish itself is not watery at all, but very pigmented and would show up on a range of polishes. I was really happy with this striper :)

I'll definirely check out Nail de Royale in the future, since I really liked the products they sent me, and they may have sold me on this (long past) crackle trend haha.

Nail de Royale's website is here, you can find them on facebook here.

Tell me what you think about my review! I always want to know :D Thanks for reading :)

nonetheless, We still manage to have fun with the Gelish I have :D

OH.. I LOVE this.. 
Colourful leopard prints..

Moo Prints..

Pink and black.. My nails :D
The prints are made of silver flakes..
