Ballerinas

Hey guys!

Today I have some ballerina nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a pink base of piCture pOlish Bardot on all my nails, except for my ring finger which I painted black with Essie Licorice. Afterwards I stamped the ballerinas on my pointer and middle finger with MoYou London Princess Plate 02 and Mundo de Uñas Black stamping polish. To finish everything off I applied some rhinestones to my ring finger.

I love the color combination of pink and black!

Sally Hansen Deluxe

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Sally Hansen Deluxe to share with you!
Deluxe is a dark blue (almost black) texture polish.

The formula is great and it was easy to apply. It is opaque in one thick coat or two thin coats. The dry time is not that good though - it is surface-dry pretty quickly, but it takes a while for it to dry all the way through. It also dries a little darker than it is in the bottle, which is a bit disappointing.

I love the texture of this polish!

Brush Strokes

Hey guys!

Today I have some nail art inspired by Emily of Very Emily to show you!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of CND Cream Puff on all my nails, except for my ring finger which I painted dark blue with Essie Style Cartel. Afterwards I made the brush strokes with Essie Style Cartel, the light blue Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid, and the silver Essie No Place Like Chrome. To finish everything off I placed a square stud to my ring finger.

I really like this simple nail art method!

Mani Swap

Hey guys!

Today I made a mani swap with the amazingly talented Eva of Coewless! I love all her perfect freehand nail art, but I wouldn't even try to recreate that, so I chose her cute multicoloured polka dot mani and she chose my polka dot skittlette - she even made the bow herself!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of CND Cream Puff on all my nails. Afterwards I made the polka dots with a small dotting tool and the following polishes: OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana (yellow), Essie Avenue Maintain (blue), Essie Lapiz of Luxury (purple), Essie Lovie Dovie (pink), Maybelline Coral Craze (self-explanatory), and Essie Mojito Madness (green).

I am so honored that Eva wanted to do this mani swap with me!
