Sweet Tips Nails -Macaron

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you a really cute glitter polish I recently got from Sweet Tips Nails. The one I have here is called Macaron and it's a gorgeous mix of pink, silver and gold small sequins. I wear it on Dior #943 and I simply love those two together. I applied two thin coats of glitter and no top coat. What do you think?

Sweet Tips Nails nail polishes can be found in Jen's etsy store, for $9 each. There are plenty of coloured glitter polishes there, and I'll show you some more in the next posts.

Feather nail art

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you my cute feather nail art. I've been intenting to try this for a really long time and I've finally had the chance. I got the feathers from Born Pretty for $1,35. They're actually really cheap and there are many colours to chose from available on their website. I started with two coats of Sinful Colors -Dream on on all my nails except the ring finger's, on which I applied Sinful Colors -Last chance. I applied the feather on the dark green base, sticking it with clear top coat. I also applied several coats of clear polish afterwards. What do you think?

Hello! 

I really appreciate the opportunity for small bloggers to post on your great blog and to be part of it. I hope you'll like my manicure! 

Products used:

- Rapsodi Pacific 02 - for base

- Flormar Supermatte M109 - for red dots

I coated my nails with white nail polish and then I put dots of black and red nail polish with top of the painting brush holder.

Sandwich manicure

Tweet

Hi,

As you might have already seen the popular 'sandwich manicures' on many blogs, I've finally had the chance do wear one myself, too. There are some nail polishes on the market which offer this effect, such as Golden Rose or China Glaze, but there are also many tutorials about how to get this effect using polishes you have at home. If you are too lazy to create a franken or you simply don't have access to them in your country (I have this problem, too), Born Pretty store is the best alternative. They have free international shipping and I have to admit that the Tribal nail polishes are definitely worth buying!

You can find the snowflake nail polish I'm wearing here - it's #2 in the list. I applied two coats of it above a thin layer of pink polish. Its dry time surprised me. Generally, glitter nail polishes have two main disadvantages: you have to wait really long until they're dried and you have to apply numerous coats so that there is a considerable amount of glitter particles. This polish doesn't have any of this problems! Now you see why I love it so much. What do you think?

If you haven't seen my post about the other Tribal nail polish I own, check it now!

Now, into the nail polish stuff. I recently got an awesome peach shade from Born Pretty which is said to be a fluorescent one. I actually did not notice any fluorescent properties, but it's awesome in daylight. I applied three coats of it so as to be opaque and no top coat above.

Cute bow manicure

Tweet

Hi,

Today I'll show you another matte glittered manicure. As you might have noticed, I totally love this combination. I started with two coats of Illamasqua -Vice and then I applied alternatively two different glitter polishes: Sinful Colors -I miss you and I Love Nail Polish -A nice Chianti. On my ring finger, I stamped the bow from the QA5 image plate I got from Born Pretty. I applied a pink rhinestone in the middle of it. Finally, I applied the Flormar's Matifying Top coat. What do you think?

Guest Post Thursday: Cubbiful

Tweet

Hi,

It's Thursday again and we have another great guest post. Let's see what I'm talking about!

Hellooooooo! I'm Mina from cubbiful and let me start by thanking our awesome host, maRyya, whose blog you just gotta love. She accepted me as a guest and I thought I'd celebrate that with... a bright colourful mani, which is kind of my signature. Hope you all like it and I hope it makes your lovely blog some justice, maRyya.

I started with Coral Matte 401 for the perfect yellow base :)

After, it dried a good 20min, then I  went and placed striping tape (six bits of it for each nail) to make the design.

I used Kiko Sugar Mat Strawberry Pink 641 for the tape mani. 

And, last but not least, I spruce up the mani a bit by placing a red square rhinestone below the tape design :) 

And that's it! Hope this makes you have an awesome day! 

Hugs & Kissies,

Mina *
