F.U.N Lacquer Incredible

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of F.U.N Lacquer Incredible from the new F.U.N Lacquer 4th Anniversary Collection.
Incredible is a magnetic multi-chrome that ranges from magenta to gold to green.

The formula is great. Like with F.U.N Lacquer Believe I applied two coats over a black base and used a magnet to get the magnetic effect. The shift in this polish is not as intense as in F.U.N Lacquer Believe though.

I had to make this awkward hand pose to capture some of the magnetic multi-chrome effect.
And here's a closer look!

I have to say that I am a little disappointed with this polish after having tried Believe to compare this to.

F.U.N Lacquer Believe

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of F.U.N Lacquer Believe from the new F.U.N Lacquer 4th Anniversary Collection.
Believe is a magnetic multi-chrome that ranges from aqua blue to emerald green to purple to magenta to copper red. The shift in this polish is insane!

The formula on this polish is great. I applied two coats over a black base and used a magnet to get the magnetic effect. The opacity is great as well and you can apply one or two coats over black depending on how strong of a multi-chrome magnetic effect you want.

The multi-chrome magnetic effect was so hard to capture on camera, but you can see the shift from aqua blue to emerald green to purple on the picture above.

I am in love with the crazy effects in this polish!

Fall

Hey guys!

Today I have some fall stamping nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with an off-white base of Barry M Coconut on all my nails. Afterwards I used the Born Pretty BPL-024 stamping plate and a lot of different polishes (the mustard yellow Barry M Mustard, the burnt orange OPI It's a Piazza Cake, the green Essie Going Incognito, and the red Essie Dress to Kilt).

Close up!

It was mostly the yellow and the orange polish that showed up on the stamp, but I still really like how it turned out anyways!

China Glaze Treble Maker

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the awesome China Glaze Treble Maker to share with you!
Treble Maker is a green neon.

The formula is nice - it is easy to apply and it is not too thin or too thick. It did need three coats to achieve full opacity though, but the dry time between each layer is quick. It dries down to a satin finish, but it is nothing a good top coat can't fix.

I applied some neon studs from Born Pretty Store to my ring finger to give this mani a pop.
Here's a closer look!

This mani is so fun and eye-catching!

Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have some awesome gradient nail art to share with you.
This manicure is inspired by Annika of @simplepolishblog who recently won a trip to Australia with piCture pOlish - it is so great for her!

For the manicure I created a different crooked gradient on each nail with the five piCture pOlish shades: Freya's Cats, Dragonfly, Escapades, Kryptonite, and Glitch.

Unfortunately some of these shades are to close in color, but I like how this look turned out anyway!

Essie On the Roadie

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the pretty Essie On the Roadie from the new Essie Spring 2017 collection.

The formula of this polish is amazing - it is smooth and stays right where you put it. The opacity is great as well and it is completely opaque in two coats. The dry time is fantastic and it dries surprisingly fast!

This polish is awesome!

Drip Marble

Hey guys!

Today I tried a new technique inspired by Simply Nailogical - the drip marble technique.

For the manicure I followed this tutorial by Simply Nailogical using piCture pOlish Escapades, piCture pOlish Glitch, and piCture pOlish Pharaoh.

Close up!

Even though I think these turned out pretty cool, I am not a big fan of this technique - I actually think water marble is easier and looks better (I know *gasp*, right?).
