NOTD- Two-for-one

If I remember correctly this started with a base of Rimmel French Cafe, a nude jelly. Then it was Nubar Holographic on top. The tips were made using Nailene tip guides and Color Club Disco Dress which was then topped with Fing'rs V.I.Purple, a glass fleck with pink iridescence.

the polish is so glittery you need to wear shades

the glare is awful

This is all done over a base of Wet n Wild Spoiled Black Mamba, a grey glass flecked black. On the pinky it is topped with Orly Bubbly Bombshell, a fab fuchsia glitter. On the ring finger it is Pure Ice Wide Awake, a blue glitter. The rest have ncLA Sugar Fix, a gorgeous grey jelly with fuchsia and blue glitter. 

Tried hard to get a good picture of this but It's tough. This is super glittery and shiny and looks so much better IRL.

NOTD- Summer Blues

The lovely matte blue on the ring finger is ZOYA Phoebe. The glitter bomb is Pure Ice Wide Awake.

At 3 coats each Phoebe gives the better performance but sadly chips like crazy. Wide Awake wears well but needs a colored base for full opacity. Wide Awake is also an extremely difficult one to remove. Soaking with pure acetone barely made a dent in it. Don't put this one on unless you're committed!

this post was typed on my phone so I apologize If it is a mess. It was very difficult bc blogger seems posessed and is inserting words and letters in random places.

Quicky NOTD- Beetle Juice

Hard Candy Beetle and Pure Ice Bite Me gradient.

Beetle is a neat multichrome that switches from violet to gold to green. This color is a dupe for Orly Space Cadet. If you like Beetle you better head to your nearest Walmart quick because Hard Candy is discontinuing all the nail polishes as well as many other products.

NOTD- Blue Blood + Pure Ice French Twist Review

Pure Ice French Twist is a beautiful blue glitter in a black jelly base. It's a blue version of Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance/ Revlon Scandalous (previously Facets of Fuchsia).

NOTD- Rockstar

A slightly different take on my last NOTD

Throwback NOTD- Halloween 2k10

The green is Pure Ice Wild Thing, the orange is Nicole by OPI Fresh Squeezed and the purple is Essence Color & Go 26 Break Through. The sticker glows in the dark, think it's Kiss brand but not sure.

NOTD- Acid Moons

First attempt at a moon manicure, probably would've went better if I had not chosen that Milani polish. I love the color but it is sooooooooooo sheer and chips if you look at it.

Milani Neon Totally 80s, 4 coats+
Pure Ice French Kiss*, 2 coats

I used paper reinforcer stickers as a guide. They didn't play nice with the Milani polish and pulled some of it off. I had to go back over it a few times on a couple nails. They also left my nails very sticky! I had gobs of lint all over them in no time and it was a pain in the arse to clean that up with out damaging the polish.


*French Kiss is not as green when it's not applied over green polish
