Skittlette

Hey guys!

Today I made a skittlette inspired by the very first skittlette I ever made!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue on my pointer and thumb, a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle and ring finger, and a textured silver base of OPI It's Frosty Outside on my pinky. Afterwards I added the polka dots to my middle and ring finger using white acrylic paint and a small dotting tool. To finish everything off I placed small, silver studs on top of a few of the polka dots on my ring and middle finger.

I think this recreation turned out pretty cool!

CND Solar Oil

Hey guys!

Today I have a review of my absolute favourite cuticle oil to share with you - CND Solar Oil.
Solar Oil is an award-winning cuticle oil and it is infused with jojoba oil and vitamin E.

Solar Oil is the most moisturizing cuticle oil I have ever tried and it absorbs into the skin really fast. It smells deliciously of marzipan or sweet almonds. I use this 1-3 times a day (closer to 3 times a day in the colder months and closer to 1 time a day in the warmer months) for perfect cuticles and stronger nails.

It is available in a lot of sizes and I have it in three different sizes. I always have the smallest one in my bag - it is perfect for fixing dry nails on the go.

Negative Space

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple negative space accent nail to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a mint green base of OPI That's Hula-rious on all my nails. On my ring finger I only applied OPI That's Hula-rious to the bottom 2/3 of the nails to create the negative space effect. Afterwards I applied a single stripe of bronze striping tape to my ring finger.

This is kinda turning into my signature accent nail!

piCture pOlish Chance

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the stunning piCture pOlish Chance to share with you!
Chance is a deep purple magnetic holo.

The formula is great - it is a little on the thin side, but it is easy to work with anyhow. The opacity is good and it needs two coats to reach full opacity. The magnetic effect is amazing and so beautiful!

This polish is seriously so beautiful.

Essie Treat Love & Color

Hey guys!

Today I have a review of two of the four new Treat Love & Color shades by Essie.
The Treat Love & Color series are nail strengtheners with a little color and a subtle shimmer.

First off I have Laven-dearly to share with you!
Laven-dearly is a sheer lavender shade with a subtle purple and magenta shimmer.

Next is Treat Me Bright, which is a sheer milky white with a subtle aqua blue and purple shimmer.

Close up!

And now for the review!
Essie recommends using two coats of these on clean and dry nails, but I only used one layer for the swatches above, as I think it is prettier that way.
These Treat Love & Color polishes gives the nails a beautiful barely-there look with a subtle shimmer, which is also totally work appropriate. I love how you can strengthen your nails while they get a beautiful polished look at the same time.
The dry time is amazing as well which is perfect, as you can apply a quick coat of this and be out the door in no time.
