Yves Saint Laurent Peace Green

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Yves Saint Laurent Peace Green.
Peace Green is a sea-foam green with a goldish pink shimmer.

The formula is great and easy to work with - it slides onto the nail like butter. The formula is good too. It is a little on the thin side and it is opaque in three thin coats.

And here it is close-up.

This polish is stunning.

Fancy Friday: Untried

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for this week's Fancy Friday with the theme untried.
I used an untried nail polish: Yves Saint Laurent Parme Graffiti.

For the manicure I started off with a purple base of Yves Saint Laurent Parme Graffiti on all my nails. Afterwards I used white acrylic paint, a dotting tool and round, gold studs to make the flowers.

I feel so ready for spring with this cute manicure!

Fancy Friday: Astronomy

Hello ladies!

Today it is time for another Fancy Friday manicure. The theme this week is astronomy and I made a galaxy manicure with my new Yves Saint Laurent Nuit Noire, which means black night!

Three coats with one layer of top coat

For the manicure I started off with Yves Saint Laurent Nuit Noire on all my nails. Nuit Noire is a black jelly polish with black and silver square glitter and a pearlescent shimmer. It takes three coats to build up to full opacity. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the following polishes to make the galaxy effect on my nails: OPI Alpine Snow (white), Essie Mesmerize (blue), Essie Borrowed and Blue (light blue), and Essie No Place Like Chrome (silver). 

Even though Nuit Noire is difficult to work with, I love how it looks on the nails!

Cherries

Hey guys!

Today I made a cute, summer-y manicure featuring little cherries!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on my pinky, ring, and middle finger, and a red base of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pop Art on my pointer and thumb. For the cherry nail art on my ring and middle finger I used a dotting tool and the red nail polish to dot on the cherries followed by a small nail art brush and green acrylic paint to make the stems. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

I think this manicure would be perfect for summer!

Moustache Studs

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple skittlette featuring moustache studs to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Yves Saint Laurent Bleu Majorelle on my pointer and thumb, a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on my middle and ring finger, and a silver texture polish on my pinky. Afterwards I applied the moustache studs to my ring and middle finger.

The moustache studs I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store. They come in a pack of five (#6506 in the color Silver), so if you use them as an accent nail (or two), there are for a couple of manicures in the pack. They also come in gold and bronze.
I collect things with moustaches on them and these studs are perfect! I really like them because they are awesome and fun, and because they are curved to fit the nail, which make them really easy to use!

I love these cute moustache studs!

Fancy Friday: Valentine's Day

Hello ladies!

Tomorrow it is Valentine's Day, but today it is time for a Fancy Friday Valentine's Day manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a light pink base of OPI Mod About You on my middle finger, ring finger, and pinky, and a red base of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pop Art on my pointer and thumb. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the red Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pop Art to freehand on the little kisses on my middle and ring finger. To finish off the skittlette I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

I really love this manicure and I think it is perfect for Valentine's Day!

Fancy Friday: Striping Tape

Hello ladies!

The challenge for this week's Fancy Friday is striping tape and I decided to make a skittlette manicure (surprise, surprise). On two of the nails I used the striping tape to make a french line and on my accent nail I was inspired by @missbellatracey to cover the whole nail in striping tape.

For the manicure I started off with a red base of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pop Art on all my nails except for my pinky which I covered completely in rows of gold striping tape. On my middle and ring finger I applied one line of striping tape to make a french line.

I am so happy with the result!

Decisions, decisions

Hey guys!

I have so many untried polishes right now, I don't even know which one(s) to try on first (a real first world problem, right?)! I actually made a deal with myself that I won't buy any more nail polish until I have tried them all!

Today I would like to share two of my untrieds with you guys: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pop Art and piCture pOlish Minty.

Yves Saint Laurent is a red crelly (a mix of creme and jelly - read more about it here) that is opaque in two thin coats. I love bright reds so of course I needed this one in my life!
piCture pOlish Minty is a mint green crelly with matte white and dark pink glitter and a scattered holographic shimmer - so unique.

I love these two together!

Yves Saint Laurent Bleu Cyclades

Hi girls!

Today I have a swatch and review of another Yves Saint Laurent nail polish - the beautiful Bleu Cyclades from their Summer 2014 Collection.
Bleu Cyclades is a deep blue shimmer.

The formula was amazing - it was smooth, easy to apply, and opaque in just two thin coats with no staining upon removal! I really do think that Yves Saint Laurent polishes are worth the extra money - they are just perfect!

I love this polish - it is dark, but it's like it's shining from within!

Yves Saint Laurent Bleu Majorelle

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of my very first (and definitely not last) Yves Saint Laurent nail lacquer - the iconic and beautiful Bleu Majorelle!
Bleu Majorelle is a vibrant blue crelly.

I am completely overwhelmed with this nail lacquer: the colour, the formula, the opacity, the dry-time, the shine - everything is just perfect! It was so easy to apply and it was opaque in just two thin coats!

Oh my god this polish has everything! I need more.
