Neon Sharpie Heart Stamping Nail Art

Press Sample,  Affiliate Code

Hey Everyone!

I've been seriously in love with Sharpie manis lately, and I just can't stop lol I love the brightness, how easy they are, and they're just in yo face!  LOVE This was also the second time I tried out the Clear Jelly Stamper that was sent to me for review, and I'm digging it.  Who knew placement could be so damn easy?

Let's get to it.

I'm all about dat base, dat base...ok old irrelevant joke lol Painted Polish Midnight Mischief has quickly become my fav black base and black stamping polish fo real.  If you are a thick coat painter this is definitely a 1 coater and is crazy opaque for stamping.  I love how with the Clear Jelly Stamper I could really get the composition of those hearts!

To paint with the sharpies, I draw with them onto wax paper and then using 91% Rubbing alcohol aka isopropyl with a brush you can pick up the marker from the wax paper and apply to the nail.  So fun!

Here's what I used for this mani:

-Black - Painted Polish Midnight Mischief
-White - Rica Polish White Out
-Sharpies and 91% rubbing alcohol
-Bursh - Twinkled T Cotton Dandy Brush set - Use code TWISTAR for 10% off!
-Stamp plate - Clear Jelly Stamper CJS V-02
-Stamper - Clear Jelly Stamper
-Top coat - Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat

Have you tried using sharpies for nail art?

Thanks for stopping by!

OPI Infinite Shine Set in Stone and Maintaining my Sand-ity Gel Effects Lacquer System Review

Hey Everyone!

Today I will be reviewing my first OPI Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System!  I was sent for review, a box of the Infinite Shine colors and the base and top coat from Preen.me as part of their VIP program.  This will really be my first time trying one these new pseudo-gel lacquer type systems.  Shall we just get past all the formalities and onto the polish?!  Let’s go!

To use these polishes you will need to buy into the 1-2-3 Gel Effects Lacquer System with the primer base and gloss top coat (that cures in natural light).  The primer base applied fine and dried pretty quick!  Always nice.  For my base color I chose Set in Stone.  A dark taupe that has hints of purple to it, it reminds me a lot of OPI I Sao Paulo Over There.  I held them next to each other and Set in Stone may be just a little darker but very close.  This was a very pigmented polish, almost covered completely in 1 coat.  It wasn’t thin or thick, just kind of that perfect consistency that makes it very easy to coat the nail and not flood the cuticles.  I would say the formula is slightly thicker than regular OPI polish and it has a stronger smell.  Nothing I couldn’t handle just wanted to note it.  I used 2 coats here, it dried pretty shiny and pretty fast!  Defintely faster than regular OPI polish.  I left my base to dry without top coat so that I could add some stamping.
