Fancy Friday: Glitter

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is glitter, so I decided to do some glitter placement.

For the manicure I started off with an off-white sea foam green base of Essie Absolutely Shore. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool to place the gold glitters from Maybelline Undress to Impress in a pattern on the accent nail.


Even though glitter placement is really time consuming, it is almost alway worth the time and effort!
What do you girls think about this glitter placement? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

The Ultimate Lemming

Hey guys!

A lemming is having an uncontrollable desire for a particular nail polish after seeing a picture of someone else wearing that colour.
I had The Ultimate Lemming for the nail polish Formula X TNT. I have been wanting this nail polish ever since it came out ten months ago! Unfortunately it wasn't available in Denmark and it still isn't. Fortunately a friend of my boyfriend was able to buy it for me!

TNT is a matte cobalt blue glitter in a clear base.
The formula was fantastic - the perfect middle way between thick and thin. The glitter pay-off was perfect as well!
Down below I used one coat of Formula X TNT over the light blue nail polish Essie Borrowed and Blue.


This is definitely my favorite glitter topper now! It is just perfect!

Essie Lollipop

Hi girls!

Today I have a swatch and review of my favorite red nail polish: Essie Lollipop.
Lollipop is a bright red crelly nail polish.

The formula is great - it is nice and easy to apply. The opacity is also good - a little sheer on the first coat but easily builtable with just two coats. After the two coats you can see a little bit of a visible nail line, but nothing that noticeable.


This is my favorite red nail polish and I just love how bright and pretty it is.

Fancy Friday: Bikini-inspired

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is matching a bikini! Down below is the bikini I decided to be inspired by with the nail polishes I decided to use.


For the manicure I started off with a pink base of Essie Lovie Dovie. Afterwards I used a nail art striper and the blue nail polish Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula) to draw on the horizontal stripes.


I really like how these turned out and how well they are matching my bikini!

Maybelline Superpower Blue

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful nail polish Maybelline Superpower Blue.
Superpower Blue is a blue creme with teal undertones.

The formula was great - it was easy to work with and really creamy. The opacity was amazing as well and it was a OCW! The polish is so pigmented that I will recommend applying two coats of base coat to prevent any staining on your nails.


I love this blue nail polish and especially at that price (5 $)!

Waterfall

Hi girls!

Sorry about the silence on the blog this last week, but I just moved and it has been really stressful. Fortunately I am back and ready to show you guys some nail art I did today - a waterfall manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a mint blue base of Essie Mint Candy Apple. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the silver/gold glitter Essie Beyond Cosy to make random lines in different lengths down the nail to make it resemble a waterfall.


I love a good waterfall manicure and this one is no exception.
