Halloween blankie

Mhuahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Happy almost Halloween! I created this simple design:

Día de los Muertos - Sugar Skulls!

Hello lovelies!

Halloween will soon be upon us and therefore I have created this mani! Sugar skulls! My friend Samantha from Southern Sparkle Nail Art has done them once in a guest post, and I adored them, so I wanted to do my version of them. Here they are!

L'Oréal Scarlet Tinsel

Hello dears!

Quick post for this pretty: "Scarlet Tinsel" by L'Oréal of their winter collection. A fuchsia glitter packed polish. Small glitters in a clear base.

Swatch-It Sunday: Catrice "Mermaid My Day" & "Miami pINK"

Hello lovelies!

Yes, finally, swatches from Catrice's new polishes "Mermaid My Day" and "Miami pINK"! Let's begin with "Mermaid My Day":

Veeeeery beautiful, easy application. This shimmery teal mani was obtained using 2 coats with top coat. For full opacity you might want to use 3 coats, but 2 was fine for me. Now Miami pINK: 

 Sooo sparkly! It is very special, with the shimmer and the glass flecks.. Super nice! Application is fine, though for opacity, again, 3 coats are needed. This is 2 coats with top coat. 

I'm pleased with these, despite them not being very opaque. The application is easy and all evens out nicely, so that is a big step up from the spring line. I'll be wearing these again!

Infinititely studded with W7 "Space Debris"

Hello lovelies!

A quicky post this Saturday. I recently purchased a new shade of W7, "Space Debris". I created this mani with it, using tiny studs I bought on ebay. It is inspired by my ring (see second pic):

Space Debris is a hot pink shimmer jelly with lots of tiny holo glitters. It applied nicely, though it was not very opaque. This it 2 coats, but if you want to wear it alone, you might need 3 coats to reach full, non-VNL opacity. I like it, but more in the bottle than on my nails...

Twinsie Thursday: Fall

Hello lovelies!

Today we have another Twinsie Thursday with Samantha from Southern Sparkle Nail Art! The theme is Fall and Samantha nailed it !

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

It is Samantha once again and it is time for another Twinsie Thursday! This month the theme we came up with was a fall inspired look using the colors nude, brown, green, and gold. This is what I came up with!

I used nine different polishes for this look! First, for the base color, I started off with one coat of Zoya Flynn (one of my favorites) topped with one coat of Wet n' Wild 2% Milk. I then used a Diamond Cosmetics Nail Art Striper in the color Cocoa for the tree branches. For the green leaves I made a color of my own using L.A. Colors Nail Art Striper in Bright Green, Jindie Nails Olive You (I named this one :p ), and Blue Eyed Girl Lacquers Don't Worry, I Don't Bite. For the yellow toned gold leaves I used Diamond Cosmetics Nail Art Striper in 14K and for the orange toned gold leaves I used 14K mixed with a neon Color Club Orange and Too Cute-icle Hot Shades. 

This is a super easy nail art look, so it is great for beginners! 

Make sure you head over to my blog to see the lovely nail art that Lothwen came up with! :) We need to do this again next month! 

Until next time! 

Thank you Samantha, I really adore the design!!! So super cute! I must recreate these soon. So that's it for today lovelies, I'm off to bed ;)

But before I forget; here's my design!

Hello lacqueristas!

After a two-week hiatus, a little blogging here! I wore this to work the other day, because that night we all went bowling:

Twinsie Thursday - 80's Funk!

Hey lovelies!

Get ready for another Twinsie Thursday with Samantha from Southern Sparkle Nail Art!! 

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

I’m back! Yes, I’m back for another Twinsie Thursday! The theme was the 80’s! As a child of the late 90’s I had some research to do, but I hope that y’all like what I’ve come up with! The color scheme was purple, black, yellow, and white.

I used a different technique for this design! In fact, the design had been painted 3 days before! If you have guessed already, I made my own nail stickers! I will have a super in depth tutorial on how to do that on my blogSunday, so if you would like to see that please stop on by!

I used ProFX Quick Dry Top Coat, a unnamed Color Club Yellow, an unnamed Color Club Purple, Wet n Wild French White Crème, Sinful Colors Black on Black, China Glaze Whirled Away, and Sinful Color Clear Coat.

For the index and pinkie nails I painted 2 coats of my base color and 1 coat of China Glaze Whirled Away. For my middle finger I used tape to make a chevron and used my dotting tool with Sinful Colors Black on Black. For my ring finger I used tape to make a chevron pattern and used my dotting tool with Wet n Wild French White Crème and Sinful Colors Black on Black. I top coated and I was off!

I thought it looked very neat with a black and white filter, so I thought you may want to take a look!

I used an artificial white light to show the true colors.

You can see Lothwen's creation here!

Thanks again for having me Lothwen! We will have to do this again soon!

Thanks Samantha! I really love your take on it, and I love how we both thought triangles! Whirled away goes PERFECT with this, good thinking! We will make this a monthly thing :D
