Abstract Shattered Pink Holographic Foil Nails

Hellooo sweetie buns!
 I had some trouble coming up with a name for this look haha. I got a whole bag of foils the other day, so I felt like doing some sort of  mani with them. I first layed down a coat of Wet n Wild Sugar Coat, then I did everything else on top.

For my middle finger, I put down a layer of the foil and jelly sandwiched it with Sugar Coat again. I love how it turns hot pink!

For my ring finger and thumb, I sponged on Sally Hansen's Strobe Light, a beautiful light pink glitter with larger holo glitters. Love how this shines!

So I'm not too sure about how the looks, because someone commented that it looks like I scratched some of the foil off hahaha. But a part of me still thinks this looks like shattered glass and likes the distressed look.
Let me know what you guys think!

Thank you for reading heh
XO,
Christine

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and Ulta Fashionably Late Swatches and Review

Hi my dears! Last week was finals week, so sorry for neglecting this blog! But now, I'm done! Wow, it feels wonderful to finish my last final, or at least the last one that REALLY matters for college hahaha.
Anyway, today's post will be of 2 polishes of the same kind. Dark jelly with colored glitter. I believe they are both dupes of some Deborah Lippmans but I dont own any, so I can't compare ):
 Here are the pictures!

Collage, just for fun :P

First, we have: Revlon Facets of Fuchsia, a polish that has undoubtedly made itself famous haha

2 coats of Revlon Facets of Fuchsia with 2 coats of Topcoat, taken from my phone because my camera refuses to capture the pink undertone of the glitter...

Index and Middle finger are 2 coats, ring and pinky are 1.

These are the pics from my camera... See how purple the glitter looks? It's actually much more pink.

And I thought this was artistic feeling, so here you go :D

 This polish has been one of my top favorite vampy colors because it's dark, yet it's so fabulous! The formula on this one is quite bad... It's very thick, and thus very lumpy and hard to apply. Maybe a bit of thinner could help. Another note, it is quite a lumpy glitter, so that means its a topcoat eater! Anyway, I really like the color, so I would willingly go through the application pain :P

Next is: Ulta Fashionably Late, a polish that I picked up during their 5 for $5 Holiday sale! Such a steal :3

2 Coats of Fashionably Late with 2 coats of Topcoat.

Taken from my phone, but the red glitter is more vibrant, just like how the first picture is.

 The formula on this one... well.. I said Facets of Fuchsia was bad right? Well this one is worse... It's thicker than FoF, and it also picks up more glitter, so the polish is hard to even out and distribute. After the second coat, you kind of have to patch in polish in some places. Again, gorgeous color, so maybe thinner will make me love it more.

Bottle shot. Ugh, it bothers me when FoF's gorgeous fuchsia glitter looks such a bland purple!!!

Anyway, aside from being angry at my camera and my phone's color detecting skills, I'm in quite a good mood today! And I hope you guys have an amazing weekend too! <3 p="">

Nails Inc Sprinkles Sweets Way Swatches and Review

Hi everyone! First real Saturday that I get to enjoy the art of doing NOTHING. Haha, anyway, I just want to let you guys in on a little secret: I'm obsessed with glitter suspended in milky bases. OBSESSED. So I finally gave in and bought Sweets Way.

2 coats

1 coat

Look how gorgeous that it! :D I'm definitely soooo happy that I got it, now maybe I should go get more hahha :P The formula was great, the glitter does dispense equally after 2 coats, so no need for worries if the first coat looks really uneven. Although this polish is a bit on the thick side, I believe it's not that bad considering the amount of glitter you get.

And I know, there is a bit of visible nail line, even at 2 coats, but honestly, these macro shots and lighting magnifies everything. It looks perfectly fine in real life:

My friends say it looks like cotton candy :D And FYI, the book is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels

Okay, that's it for today, sweethearts. Thank you all for reading and commenting! :-*

Swatches of some Wet n Wild Polishes: Sugar Coat, Blue Moon

Hey my lovely buns :3 I just recently picked up 2 Wet n Wild polishes, a pinky nude because I was in dire need of one haha, and a dark shimmery blue because its gorgeous and immediately caught my eye.
So up first, I have Sugar Coat by Wet n Wild Megalast. A gorgeous light pale pink, leaning more to the cool side.

3 easy coats. With this, you definitely don't need 3 coats, but I just swatched it to show you guys. The brush on this is really big, (I will address this later) so that's why if you're not careful, you can get pooling around the edges, hence the pinky.

1 coat

2 coats

 With these, I had to turn up my room lights because any way else when photographing, makes this color look like a cream nude or a pale lavender. So the brush. It's fat. But I actually really like it! Same brush as the Spoiled line, it's rectangular and flat, so it's quite easy to maneuver.

Flash brings out the lavender base of this color.

Formula was a heaaaaven! Very smooth and easy to work with, just be careful of the brush. And yes, this is the color I used as a base for my eyeball design.

Next, we have Blue Moon by Wet n Wild Wild Shine. A gorgeous deep blue with teal shimmer. Does anyone else think of Smurfs when you hear the name blue moon? Hahahha

2 coats

Slightly blurred to show you the amount of shimmer! Look at that!

1 coat. You see the gorgeous teal sparkle in the bottle?

This polish is amazing! Definitely can be a 1 coater if you apply a thicker and more even first coat. It really sparkles under direct light! Sorry I didn't have a flash photo to show you :\ Formula was also very nice, smooth and thin. This looks somewhat like OPI's Yoga-ta Get This Blue, but I don't have that for comparison..... Let me know if they're dupes or something!

I'm so happy to have purchased these two, definitely more happy than my Sinful Colors purchases hahaha. Until next time my sweethearts :3

Sinful Colors: Cloud Nine & Pull Over

Hi my sweethearts! I have two swatches for you today! I just recently picked these babies up at a Walgreens when they were on sale for $0.99 each! And yes, I have heard the recent controversy about Sinful taking copyrighted pictures for its own use... being a blogger myself, I am STRONGLY against that, but it seems Revlon has taken care of this issue, and properly appologized to those bloggers. Good job, Revlon, props. Anyway, let's get to the polishes.

Here is Pull Over, a gorgeous orange based sunny yellow, the formula of which is... not so good. Take a look:


3 Coats



 

 

One Coat of Pull Over

2 Coats

Guess what? EXACT SAME COLOR AS A NO. 2 PENCIL! Not those super awesome Ticonderoga ones, the rather cheap ones. And now I will forever think of pencils when I paint my nails this color. But that's okay because the formula on this will make me think twice about wearing it. It's really streaky... As you can tell by the 1 coat picture. But it's a yellow... So I can forgive it. Just a little bit. I guess this color would be great to wear to school on those days you have to take a Scantron Test with a No. 2 pencil :D

Next color we have is Cloud 9, a gorgeous medium orange jelly base filled with loads of golden shimmer. This polish is amazing!

1 Coat, and whoops, didn't notice there was a piece of string on my nail hahaha. And apparently my camera doesn't like to focus on more than one finger.... .___.

Blurred a bit to capture the amount of shimmer! Gorgeous :3 These are all 3 coats, and I think it's perfect that way

The formula on this was definitely a lot nicer than Pull Over, the shimmer made it smoother and not so streaky.It also has that mixture between a creme base and a jelly base, so it makes your nails look really squishy! Which I like :D

That's it for today~ Thanks for stopping by! KISSES FOR YOU ALL :****
