Nails Inc Bruton Mews and Whitechapel

Hello there everyone. I hope you've all had a great start to the new year. So far mine has been okay. Quiet, the way I like it.
Today I have two new Nails Inc polishes for you. Both of these were purchased from Sephora.

Bruton Mews is my base. It is a forest green creme. Very close to a one coater. Great application with no issues to report. This is part of the new Nails Inc Nailkale line. I should also mention that I have the Nailkale base coat and am in love with it. Just an fyi. I decided to top this with Whitechapel. This is a glitter topper with white mini bars, white hexes and lots of micro gold and holo glitter. This is ONE coat. No dabbing, fishing, swishing, etc. Super application with great coverage.

I have to say I love both of these! Nails Inc's rebranding has really impressed me. The big square bottles are super easy to deal with. Love the brushes. Great formulas for the ones I have tried. Super happy.
I hope you enjoyed. See you soon ;)

Sally Hansen inta-dri Halloween Limited Editions

Today I have three polishes from the Limited Edition Halloween shades from Sally Hansen. I just picked up the basic creme shades. White, orange, and black.

Up first is OMGhost. This is a white creme. Photos are one coat. There were issues with self leveling but top coat did correct it. It is on the thick side and with the giant brushes that this line has, I did find it a bit tricky to apply.

Pumpkin Queen is a medium orange creme. Although it's bright, it isn't a neon. It really does remind me of a pumpkin orange. This polish is on the thin side compared to most of the insta-dri line. I still had full coverage in two coats though. It dried down a bit so I added top coat.

And then there is Fright Night. This is a creme, but also has a bit of a jelly quality to it. Thinner then the white shade, but I still had full coverage in one coat. It was a bit of a generous coat though. If you prefer to apply in thin coats, you'll probably need two. This dried super shiny. I did notice some bubbles once I took the photos. This is from the polish as I don't have top coat with these pics.

I think these are great choices for staple polishes. They would also be great for nail art. I want to see if they work for stamping, but haven't had a chance yet. I do need to point out that I hate the bottles used for this line. Who thought a giant brush in the smallest bottle would be a good idea?
Thanks for the visit!

Canada Day Nail Art

Back with one more Canada Day manicure for you. What can I say, I love my country!

The white base is Cult Nails Tempest. The glitter is KBShimmer Candy Cane Crush and the red is OPI Coca-Cola Red. The maple leafs are vinyl decals from Eat.Sleep.Polish.

The chevron nails are guides bought from NailVinyls. (link below) You may have noticed that the glitter nail has a bit of a brownish tint to it. This is from the scent used in it. If you layer it over anything but white, you won't have this problem.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed them. See you again, soon.

Canada Day Nail Stamping

My first Canada Day manicure for you.

My base colours are Cult Nails Nevermore and Tempest and OPI Coca-Cola Red. Index finger is stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep using MoYou Mother Nature 07. Middle and ring fingers are plate BM-H11 using Rica Whiteout and Mundo de Unas Black. Pinky is plate BM-004 with Silver Sweep again.

Thanks for the visit. I hope to be back soon with more patriotic nail art for you!  

Summer Gradient with China Glaze

Happy Summer everyone !!
Today I have a colourful gradient for you. Of course, my gradients are still a technique in progress, so I ended up stamping over it. Which also wasn't perfect, but it was still nice and bright.
The gradient was done over a white base using China Glaze Petal To The Metal, Metro Pollen-tin, and Be More Pacific. Stamping was done with Mundo de Unas Mexican Pink and Konad white using plate MJ XXV. I know the clean up isn't perfect, but my poor cuticles couldn't handle anymore acetone.

I need to mention that the plate I used is a test plate that I received from a giveaway. The plate I have is a bit different from the one on the site, but this design is on it. The rest of the products were purchased by me. 

I hope you enjoyed! Cheers.

Stamped jelly sandwich OPI and Lily Anna

This manicure was created with stamping in between a layer of jelly polish.

My polish is OPI Too Hot Pink To Hold Em. Stamping plate used was Lily Anna 04 with Konad white stamping polish. I started with two coats of polish followed by the stamping. Then I applied one more coat of the jelly polish.

I think this turned out okay. It is a fairly subtle design in person, but pretty. It is certainly easy enough to do, which is nice. Products can be found at Messy Mansion or Nail Polish Canada.

Dollish Polish Afternoon Tea In The Garden Llarowe Exclusive

Welcome everyone. Today I have Dollish Polish Afternoon Tea In The Garden to show you. This is a Llarowe exclusive. And bonus, it's currently on sale!

ATITG is a white crelly with white, black, yellow, green, pink, and blue glitter in various shapes. This can be worn alone, but I chose to layer two coats over one coat of white. I would guess that you would need three coats on its own for full coverage. Applied easily and without issue. I used one coat of KBShimmer clearly on top to smooth it all out. This isn't a chunky glitter, so you shouldn't have any issues with using a regular top coat. Photos in shade and sun.

You can find this polish at Llarowe HERE. If you want to check out the Dollish Polish store you can find that HERE. If you are at all interested in this polish, don't wait too long. There aren't many left in stock!
Thanks for visiting today. Hope to see you back soon.

Mentality Meeny plus stamping

Today I have Mentality Meeny for you to ogle!

Meeny is an olive leaning green holographic. Definite gold flash to this. This is one of Mentality's stamping polishes, but you obviously don't just have to use it for stamping. Photos show two coats of Meeny with top coat. There are some minimal brush strokes visible. The stamping is done with Meeny over Julep Kate using MoYou plate  sailor 04. No issues with the polish being picked up by the stamp. I was using a squishy stamper.

Please visit the Mentality Polish shop HERE. If you live outside the US and would like to purchase they have a list of stockists HERE. Not all polishes are available at these other sites.

Thanks for stopping to check out my post!

Oh Canada nail art

Today is a better late then never post. These are the nails I was sporting for last weekends gold medal hockey game at the Olympics. Can you guess who I was cheering for? Go Canada !!!


White is Cult Nails Tempest. Black is Cult Nails Nevermore. Red is Sally Hansen xtreme wear in Pucker Up. I made the maple leaf decal and then applied it to the nail. Crooked ;) Oh well. This was my first attempt at a braided nail, or fishtail nail. Not sure which is the correct term? Think it turned out all right.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope to see you back soon !!
