Emily De Molly-Warrior Princess.

Hi guys!!

I just got a new job so I'm kind of behind on posts, I couldn't do yesterdays nail challenge but I will for sure be doing today's. Just bear with me while I get used to my new schedule.

Today I'm bringing you guys a polish I've owned for a while but haven't used or reviewed.
It's by Emily de Molly and it goes by the name of Warrior Princess.



Warrior Princess is a jelly purple base packed with bright and gorgeous glitters!


The Application for this polish was okay,it was kind of sliding of the base of my nail, but that was alright.
I obviously didn't have to fish for any glitters, and no dabbing technique was required to apply this polish.


The glitters come in different colors such as: Magenta,lilac and blue medium sized hex glitters and small lilac and blue hex glitters.

The formula of this polish was dense but applied well!

You can purchase EDM polishes on her etsy store here.
For us US girls you can get these polishes at http//:www.shop.llarowe.com

Thanks for reading as always & don't forget to follow <3

Day 3-Yellow.

Hi guys!

Today I got a new job so I'll trying my best to continue doing the challenge
Today's color was a hard one, because of the same reasons as orange, I don't wear yellow polish by itself. I didn't own a yellow polish that wasn't neon until Easter when I purchased one at cvs lol.

So I decided to go for something springy and simple. This is what I ended up with :)






I did these cute little flowers only using a double ended dotting tool and three different polishes.
The blue polish used as the base is OPI's Can't find my Czechbook.





The polished used for the flower's petals is Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen and the center of the flowers was made using Sinful Color's Let's meet.





All I did to create this design was apply a base color then dab four dots touching on the ends to create the petals, when dry I dabbed the center with a smaller dotting tool.
Dot as many flowers as you would like and combine any colors you want!!
This is a very simple and fast nail art design.
Hope you guys liked it and keep coming back for more posts :)

.xo.

Polish Addict-Pretty in Pastels.


Hello Everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing my most recent purchase from Polish Addict by Laura Sanchez!
This beautiful polish goes by the name of Pretty in Pastels and it's definitely a MUSt have for the spring♥


(The polish i'm holding is not Pretty in Pastels)


Pretty in pastels is a light mint green crelly with different kinds of pastel glitter.


 This polish was quite sheer, in the picture I'm wearing 4 coats with no undies. I totally adore the color base and the end result. I love how I can use this polish over different blue & mint colors.





 Even with this polish being so sheer the final result isn't a bulky fat nail. I love it when I can apply my indies just like regular polish and not have to worry about having to smooth surfaces out. 
The glitter in this polish spreads out on the nail very evenly making the application very smooth.




Now onto the glitters, we have pastel baby blue matte hexagonal glitters, purple big hex glitters,micro pastel baby blue glitters and some green hexagonal glitters.

You guys can purchase this polish at http://www.shoppolishaddict.bigcartel.com/
but her shop will be closed for the next two days.
I should be having two more polish addict polishes to be added to my collection and swatched here, so if you like what you see don't forget to follow :)

 :Love you all! Goodnight<33
 



Day 2-Orange.


Hi guys!
Today I;m bringing you day #2 of the 30 day challenge I'll be doing this month!

I honestly only own ONE orange polish and have NEVER used it.. haha.
I don't know why yellows and oranges are really weird colors to me when it comes to nail polish.
I've never found an orange polish i'm in love with or anything similar.

The polish I'll be using today I bought when I wasn't really into nail polish, I just liked the way the bottles looked & how this polish looked in it, so yeah.. not really a good reason to purchase a polish anymore haha.

But anyhow, Since I couldn't come up with any ideas on what to use this orange polish with I said to myself... When in doubt.. USE GLITTER! so this is what I ended up with :)




The color I used is called Orange Fix by Maybelline Color Show. This orange is not that bad I mean I love the color just not for nail polish haha, but the formula is great, the application was smooth, it did take me three coats to reach full opacity, this polish looks a little more neon IRL, and it dries matte.


The glitter i'm using you might have seen in my previous posts. Its called Dr. Franken by Polish Addict.
I love the way that polish goes perfect with every color. I'll probably wear this polish during the summer since it's a neon but I think I'll definitely wear it under some other glitters..


Hope you guys liked this & don't forget to check back tomorrow for a new post :)

30 Day Challenge: Day 1 - Red.

Hey Guys!

Like I said in my previous post I;m going to be doing my best to follow this 30 Day Challenge done by this girl, and she has a link were you can submit your posts, i'll be posting my there as well!!

Okay for today I was going to do strawberry nails but instead decided to use polishes that I don't really get to use other times so here's what i chose!


 I used OPI's The Spy who Loved me, this polish came out with the Skyfall collection.
The spy who loved me is a shimmery red crelly (creme-jelly) with some orange undertones.





To top off my nails I added two coats of the 18k real gold top coat by Sephora by OPI.
I really like the way these two colors look together and I don't really get to ever use my gold top coat so I'm glad I have a color I can just go-to whenever I want to wear this.




Here's a macro shot of the nail.. Love the way this red looks!

Hope you guys liked it and hope to have you all checking back every day for a new post :)


Godnight<3

NOTD: Easter Nails!♥

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a great Easter so far.
I've been dying to post this all day but once again i've been kind of busy, I was busy with Easter celebration, and also doing some yard work :p. Someone had to get rid of the 200 thousand pounds of leaves that completely cover the back yard making it look ugly. My puppy seemed to be amazed by the piles of leaves though. I thought I'd add a picture so I could introduce you guys to Rhea, my 14 mo pitbull.





I promise she was posing for this picture, haha she loves the camera as much as mommy loves taking pictures of her. haha she thought I was cleaning the yard just so she could have fun running and hoping around the leaves.

Okay enough rambling about my baby and getting on to the nails!!! I saw multiple cute nail art designs and I just couldn't wait to bring my idea to life.

Shade.

I was shopping for some Easter stuff and bought these cute purple marshmallow bunnies & chicks, they inspired me to do this look!! It was quite easy even though i'm sure these aren't that great.
Bear with me I am a beginner and this is my first year doing Easter nails!





Flash On.

All I used for this look was A nail art brush, A double ended dotting tool & a few polishes.
On my pointing finger I used Cinderella by Sinful Colors & added some white clouds with White on White by China Glaze.

For my middle finger I used Cotton Candy by Sinful Colors as well. For the eggs I used Polish Addict's Jellyfish 1 & Hard Candy's Gummy Green. The Scattered glitter on the background is Polish Addict's Dr. Franken.

On my ring finger I used Essie's First Date as a base & White on white by China Glaze. For the bunnies ears & nose I used Essie's Muchi Muchi.

Last but not least my pinky finger. I used Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen & White on white for the rest. Orange acrylic paint was used to create the beak.

I really liked this look and thought it was pretty easy for noobz like me! hehe.

Hope you guys liked it & would love to see some feedback!

Keep coming back for more designs and IMPORTANT:

NOTD: glitter,glitter & some more glitter!

Hi guys!

I hope everyone had a good week & is having a great weekend!
Today i'm wearing a cute & super easy nail art design. All I used for it was a black polish to use as a base, a glitter polish & a matte top coat.

Shade

All I used for the base was Sally Hansen's Black out.
When the black was completely dry I put on the glitter polish. The polish I'm using is called "Dr. Franken" and it's made by the indie polish maker Laura Sanchez.This polish was completely perfect for this look because there's no fishing required when applying.

Flash On

Dr franken is a glitter bomb polish in a clear base. It's packed with multiple types and colors of glitter.
I definitely love this polish and it's perfect because it works over ANY color polish, you can also use this polish to create some cute jelly sandwiches! That just means you can use this polish sandwhiched between two layers of a sheer polish,
 

 


 As you can see here we have tons of hexagonal glitter in different colors and sizes, I can spot some teal,blue pink and yellow hex glitters and some silver micro glitter.
Since this polish has the glitter very well scattered everywhere I didn't have to fish for glitters at all, making it easier to even everything out and have a smooth surface as a final result!
SInce my surface was pretty smooth on it's own I didn't have to worry about layering a clear top coat I just went right for the matte. The matte top coat I use its called Matte about You and it's by Essie! I totally recommend it, it works just wonderful!.
 
Hope you guys liked this mani & decide to try it out!
If you have any requests on what nail art designs I should do next feel free to comment on the box & I wil try my best to have it up asap!
 
Love you all.
Polish Junkie.
