Day 23- Caviar nails.

Hi!!

Today's theme for the daily change is caviar nails, and these were HUGE a couple of months back, I haven't really seen much caviar nail art lately, but maybe it's just me. Anyway, I'm glad the challenge is bringing these back because I don't want to be stuck with the set of caviar beads I purchased.

Here's what I created.


The color I used is Can't find my czechbook from the Euro Centrale collection by OPI.


The caviar beads I used were from a set I purchased at Michael's.  It comes with 12 colors and I purchased little bottles were I can mix the caviar beads in.






I used striping tape to create the triangle on my middle finger.
I really like using these caviar beads, hopefully they start trending again, because I got some pretty cool ideas after doing this mani lol.

Okay guys, it's time for me to go. I am suuuuper tired, and have terrible knots on my shoulders due to stress. SO i'm going to try to go to bed and relax a little.
Thank you all for reading my posts, and don't forget to comment any suggestions or polishes you want to see on my blog!

~Late~ Day 20-Border Nails.

Hi guys!

Sorry, I couldn't post this on time, and I will have yesterdays and today's post later on tonight.

Day 20 was a border manicure and here is what I did:


This was quite hard to achieve for me, I got it a few times but it wasn't perfect so I kept re doing my nails, until this.
 I think I did pretty good this one time!





 The polish I used for this was Lapix Of Luxury by Essie.
The outline was done using blue acrylic paint.






 It helps a little when you place tape around your cuticles so you don't have to worry about getting messy.
I like painting my finger and barely get any on my nail so I can achieve a thin outline like this one.
To clean up I just removed the tape and used a tiny brush to clean up close to my cuticle.

I hope you guys liked this and stay tuned for today's posts that i'll have for you later!

Love you all♥

Melting Rainbow!

Hey everyone!

Today ill be bringing you another mani using the amazing Halo Hues Collection by Color Club.

All I used for these design was almost all the colors from the collection & a double ended dotting tool.


(From left to right the colors are: Miss Bliss,Eternal Beauty,Kismet,Over the Moon and Cosmic Fate)

This was really easy to do & didn't really take as long as I thought it would!

 (Flash)


All I really did was dot lines across and put some bigger dots in some parts to make it look like it's
melting. I didn't really wait for each color to dry, I was okay with the colors blending a little bit.


(No flash)


(Sun&Shade Shot)

I hope you guys try this mani out!
Its super single and you can really use any color you would like. I'll be posting some swatches later since i'm bored and not sleepy :p

See you guys later!

.xo.

China Glaze - Atlantis

This is a polish from the "Specialty Collection" glitters from China Glaze, this polish is honestly breath taking.

Atlantis is a medium blue/teal/aqua jelly base with tons of holographic glitter.
The more coats you apply the bluer the color will appear.


This polish will feel kind of gritty if you don't apply top coat on, however in the pictures I didn't because I was only leaving the polish on while I took the pictures for this post.
Whenever I wear this baby for a while i'll definitely be putting a thick gel top coat.


I took a blurry picture so you guys could see just how strong this holo effect is.
This polish is one of my favorites now! I wish removing glitter wasn't such a hassle or I would wear this all the time.

I apologize for this being the macro shot of the bottle and not the actual nail I totally forgot about it, and remember when I had already taken the polish off. i hope you guys can bear with me.
The application for this polish was easy this is a very sheer jelly with one coat so I used three for the pictures.
Like i mentioned before the more coats the darker or bluer the polish is going to look like.

I wanted to take a sun shot of this polish but today wasn't very sunny outside so i'm just using inside artificial light for it.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and if you're wondering were I got this color from because i've never seen it in stores, I got it from ebay for a cheap 7 bucks :D

I'll catch you guys later, love;
Polish Junkie.
