Peachy

Hey guys!

Today I made a peachy sideway gradient inspired by Chalkboard Nails.

For the manicure I started off with a light peach base of Etude House OR202 on all my nails. Afterwards I made the sideway gradient with a make-up sponge, Etude House OR202, and the coral Maybelline Coral Craze. I finished everything off with a matte top coat of Essie Matte About You.

China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the stunning China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage.
Meet Me at the Mirage is a rose gold shimmer.

The formula is great - it is not to thick and not to thin. The coverage is good too and it is opaque in two easy layers.

Afterwards I played around with some weird ass color combinations.

I love rose gold and this shimmer is perfect!

Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have another gradient to share with you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a half-an-half base of the green Essie Going Guru (from the new Essie Resort 2016 collection) and the lilac Essie Nice is Nice. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the two polishes to create the gradient effect.

I am in love with this color combination!

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.

It's My Birthday!

Hey guys!

Today is my birthday, so I made this festive skittlette!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of CND Cream Puff. Afterwards I used the OPI Sheer Tints to make the colorful base. Then I stamped the gifts and party hats on my middle and ring finger with Mundo de Uñas Black stamping polish and MoYou London Birthday 02. To finish off the skittlette I applied the holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

I love how festive and fun this turned out!

Black Stone

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple black marble skittlette to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle and ring finger, and a blue base of Essie Style Cartel to my pinky, pointer, and thumb. Afterwards I freehanded the abstract stone marble on my middle and ring finger with black and white acrylic paint and a small nail art brush. To finish everything off I applied the silver stud to my ring finger.

This did not turn out quite as I had hoped, but I still like it though.

Minimalistic

Hey guys!

Today I have a mani swap that I did with @lsdoesnails to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with striping tape across the nail and the white nail polish CND Cream Puff to create the white square and negative space effect. Afterwards I placed striping tape in the form of a triangle and colored it in with watered down black acrylic paint.

I am really loving this minimalistic nail art!
