OPI Wharf Wharf Wharf and Julep Brandt and Dana

Hi Everyone!

I've wanted OPI Wharf Wharf Wharf since it was released but it was just one of those colors that you look at but never buy. Well, I FINALLY bought it and it is everything I thought it would be! I'm still loving texture polishes and even though they may be "over" I will still be busting em out. Check out what I came up with for this crazy blue.



Isn't it cool? It's just so blue lol I used 2 thin coats, I think textures show up best when you use thinner coats. I was obsessively touching my nails while wearing it haha.



For the base of my ring I used Julep Dana. It's a pearly white with blue shimmer.



The stamping was done with MoYou London Artist Collection Plate 04. I used Julep Brandt, an off-black.



This mani felt very "artsy" or something lol I'm so cool. Thanks for stopping by!

Julep - Kam Dana and Brandt - chevron nail art

Hey!

It’s Tuesday, which is kind of like the most boring day of the week. Tuesday lacks an identity. Since I am actually bored here on this Tuesday, here is my break-down of the week.

- Mondays are universally hated. I’m pretty sure you can say Monday in any corner of the world and you’d be met with the stank eye.
- Tuesdays – see opening paragraph.
- Wednesdays are hump day signaling you made it this far might as well NOT kill yourself.
- Thursdays get you excited for Friday and a lot of people partake in Happy Hour or thirsty Thursdays. Thursday basically mooches off of Friday.
- Fridays need no explanation. It even has its own acronym and restaurant, TGIF(ridays). I think TGIF is the original LOL, just saying.
- Saturday is the best day of the week and everyone knows it. Nothing beats waking up whenever you damn well please Saturday morning and then going to bed at the crack of dawn after binge watching some Netflix alllllllllllllllll night.
- Sundays are accepted as lazy days and typically involve overindulging in copious amounts of homemade cooking, preferably by your Grandma.

So for this boring day I decided to do a bold graphic look to pump up my Tuesday, check out what I did!





For the main color I used Julep Kam, a vintage spearmint crème as my base. It’s got such a cool retro vibe, I did add some thinner since it was a little thick.



For the ring and middle finger I used Julep Dana as my base, it has a little blue shimmer to it very pretty. Then I used some right angle nail vinyls from at Vinyl It Up, these were sent for review. And they are awesome! I slapped on some Julep Brandt over the vinyls before removing to leave the chevron print.



Then I added some 2mm black studs from ebay.



Super happy with this mani! Definitely amped up a boring Tuesday, thanks for stopping by!

Movember mani - Julep Robin Dana and Brandt - moustache nail vinyls

Hey Everyone!

It’s Movember aka grow a moustache to show your support for men’s health month. I am neither a dude nor can I grow a beard so I decided a manly mani was the best I could do!



For my base I chose Julep Robin, a beautiful Robin’s egg blue crème that leans a little green. Formula is superb on this one, this is 2 coats. This was Julep’s old formula which explains why it is so fab *glares at new “oxygen” formula!*



For the ring accent I used 3 coats of Julep Dana, a white with ultrafine blue shimmer. This is the new formula which explains why it’s not so fab. It’s thick but not the worst, it’s very pretty so I’ll put up with it. I topped it with a stag decal in aqua from
Vinyl It Up, isn’t it the cutest? I mean, isn’t it the manliest?



For the middle accent, I used 2 coats of Julep Brandt, an off-black crème. Again old formula = fab. I’m halfway through this bottle so I will have to stalk ebay or storenvy for another bottle. Then I used striping tape to get the fruit stripe gum effect. I would so love some black and blue fruit strip gum!





Here is my Cinderella Hand! Or my dominant hand, it’s called Cinderella because it does all the work. I used another Stag decal and then the most manliest (adorable) moustache and top hat decal! These are also from
Vinyl It Up.



More pics. If moustaches and stags aren’t manly then I don’t know what is. Thanks for stopping by!

Julep Briana and Dana - blue and white chevron nail art

Hey All!

My Julep October 2014 Black Magic Collection polish lover upgrade box arrived right before I left for vacation a couple weeks ago, I was sad I would have to wait to play with them butttttt I WAS leaving for vacation so I wasn’t that sad, come on now haha. There are some beauties in this collection but Briana and Dana inspired me first. I was feeling like some Chevrons…….





Julep Briana is a bright navy crème, it’s much brighter than Julep Michelle if you have that one. I love blue cremes! And this one is perfection, sometimes they can be very dark and look black most of the time but Briana looks navy blue at every angle. This is 2 coats, it applied very nicely.





Dana is a white base with ultrafine blue shimmer. This is a black light reactive polish but sadly I don’t have a black light to test it. If you would have caught me when I was 15 I definitely had a black light AND a lava lamp in my room lol I was cool. Who remembers the store New Age Creations?! I’m really digging Dana, the blue shimmer is subtle but very pretty especially in the sun. It covered pretty well with 2 coats but you could see a few patchy spots so I added a 3rd coat. Maybe a touch thick but nothing too bad.



I used some 2mm blue jewels from ebay on the middle accent finger.



On the ring finger I used chevron nail vinyls from Vinyl It Up, these are the mini size. I love this size! I have small nail beds so this size gives me lots of chevron pattern.



Overall I adore this mani! I like the way the dark blue and white play off of each other. Thanks for stopping by!
