China Glaze Japanese Koi skeleton and Cross mani

Press Sample (Some of these items were provided to me for review and photographing)

Hi Guys!

Last night I was swatching more of the Love Angeline Stuck on Love Nail Shields and decided to recycle a couple of the cross nails into this crazy mani. It’s definitely crazy! It combines all the things I love, vinyls, neons, glitter, studs and charms. I don’t think I could have added one more piece to it haha! These are the type of nails that arrive before you do and shout “Look at me! Give me your attention because I’m a needy mani!” Let’s get to it.



This eye blistering safety cone orange is China Glaze ‘Japanese Koi.’ If Japanese Koi were actually this neon I would definitely have a giant pond full of them and give them all names and we’d be BFFs. Love this color! Aren’t China Glaze neon’s the best? I layered 2 coats over1 coat China Glaze ‘White on White.’ ‘Japanese Koi’ has a nice formula, considering it’s a neon, and applied smoothly but I think a white undie is necessary for this one otherwise it will just be that sheer neon with visibile nail line. I don’t mind doing undies. I’m always kind of confused when people say they hate doing a white undie for neons but then will instead just do 4 layers of the neon when they could do 1 undie and 2 coats of the color….. ? For me at least, I end up doing less coats with an undie and I much prefer how they look over white. Why wear a neon when it’s not the brightest neon? I like when a neon is NEON haha! Can I say neon any more times?

Sharpie Watercolor Nails Tutorial featuring Floss Gloss Lean

These polishes were purchased by me.

What's up People?

I've always loved markers, like really really loved markers.  Back about a billion years ago when I was in college, I did a ton of marker rendering and had quite the collection.  Those days are long gone but I still get excited to use markers so combing then with nail polish is probably the greatest thing ever.  And let's talk about Floss Gloss Lean, such a pretty orchid purple!

China Glaze Boho Blues review - Road Trip Collection

Hey Peeps!

When I bought the China Glaze 6-piece RoadTrip Collection Destination Unknown set I knew that BohoBlues would have to be the first color I tried!  It’s a gorgeous dusty periwinkle and I thought pairing it with black and white would make it really pop, check out what I came up with!

Boho Blues reminds me of pretty Spring flowers, I love it.  The first coat was a little thick but still somehow sheer but the second coat evened it out and made it perfectly opaque.  I’m such a fan of these blueish lavender cremes!

China Glaze - Bottoms Up, White on White, Fairy Dust with Born Pretty Store feather decals

Hey Everyone!

I needed a bright mani since its sooooooo cold out, it's depressing. I was seeing a lot of China Glaze Bottoms Up so naturally I took that as a sign that I had to purchase it lol Here's what I came up with.





How pretty is China Glaze Bottoms Up?! It's a little brighter in person. I used 3 coats.



How do you make pink better? You Fairy Dust that shit! Lol This is China Glaze Fairy Dust layered over CG White on White.



The feathers are water decals from Born Pretty Store.



This mani wasn't planned I just starting polishing and of course I like it better than manis I spend forever planning haha! Thanks for checking out my work!

OPI Over and Over A-Gwen China Glaze Fairy Dust and White on White Santa Christmas mani

Heyyyyyyy!

We're getting super close to Christmas, and what kind of person would I be if I didn't do a Santa mani? A terrible person is the answer. So, here's my Santa mani!



For the base I used OPI Over and Over A-Gwen, a classic red creme. Perfect for Christmas manis!



On the ring and pinky I added 1 coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust, because why not?!



This Santa charm kills me! He's just so cute! It's a little large for my small nails but I like how the hat hangs off the top of the nail.



The white is China Glaze White on White, I'm pretty terrible with freehand lines so I was pumped I was able to draw some straight lines to make boss lol I added a couple of little jewels to the center of the bows.



Thanks for stopping by!
