Kleancolor Metallics.

0

I fell in love with a manicure I saw on Pinterest and just had to replicate it! The pink didn't show up great in the photos but the tips of the nail are actually hot pink.
I was totally impressed by the Kleancolor Metallics (I picked up a set of 6 minis at Winners for $5.99).
LOVED this manicure!
I used Metallic Jungle, Metallic Purple and Metallic Pink and created a gradient using a regular makeup sponge.
Above is my veersion, below is my inspiration, which was from Dolly (http://adayinthelifeofdollface.blogspot.ca/) who is also the creator of Dollish Polish.

See wayyyy more pictures of this mani below the cut!

A-England Tristam

0

  
Another beauty from A-England. This is Tristam, from The Mysticals collection.
I've only used two of my A-Englands so far but I can honestly say that the formula on these blow me away each time. This is two coats but with careful application it could easily be a one coater. 
I love the subtle holographic effect on these, sometimes I even prefer it to the in-your-face holo of the Laylas!
 










 
A-Englands are available directly from their website, from ninjapolish.com or llarowe.com

Jessica Born 2 Pansy

0

This was my first experience with Jessica polishes and, I dare say, it will not be my last!
Photos of this polish do not do it justice at all. It is a gorgeous shade of lilac with this insane shimmer, which shifts blue-purple-copper-fucshia and it is gorgeous! I had no idea that it was a shifting pigment until I got it on my fingers. Loved this shade and got a ton of compliments on it!
This is a current shade from the collection with the Chanel dupes. 
This is three coats, application was great, formula is sorta thin but I find that is fairly normal with polishes this lightly coloured.

Sorry about the tip wear in these photos, these were taken after 2 days of wear because my camera died and it is very fickle as to which outlet it will charge in (I think it's possessed!)

 




Happy weekend everyone! Be safe and have fun!

I'm a goddamn tiger.... with Color Club Magnetics in Cop An Attitude

0

So this manicure was my attempt to dupe a mani done by Lacquerish on her blog that I absolutely loved! I had to use slightly different polishes as I don't have the ones she used but I think it turned out alright.
I first applied a coat of Claire's Magnetix in Gold which was horrible, the formula was thick and gloopy and the brush was horrible. I added a coat of Color Club Magnetics in Cop an Attitude on top and used the magnet sideways (for vertical waves).
I used Konad plate m57 for the stripes (would LOVE to have the Essence plate Lacquerish used, the stripes are much finer and I think look a lot better). I believe I used Wet N Wild Black Cream for the stamping. 


Thanks for looking! Please leave any comments or questions below :)
Hope you guys are having a great week!

Finger Paints Circus Peanuts

0

This polish is so not my usual style. That being said, I love love loved this!
This is 2 coats (this picture was taken after a day of wear)
I also don't really do a lot of cream finishes either as I find they show every imperfection. 
The formula on this was great, seems like Finger Paints is really stepping up their game lately!
