Rainbow Striped Skittle Nails

Hello everyoneeeeeee.
So remember last time when I said I didn't really like the rest of my mani except my pinky? well. yup. I decided to redo all my other nails and keep my pinky! Hahaha and here's what they look like. If you guys would like to check out my instagram, its @steamiexo.

I'm loving this a lot more than the last mani! Think I should've used a more pastel orange though, but this'll do! Someone told me this reminded them of Easter nails haha, unintentional :D

Here are the polishes I used, the bow is from Born Pretty Store, I have a coupon for 10% off on the sidebar!

Trust Fund Beauty: I'm Kind of a Big Deal
Sephora Collection: Random nameless one?
Sinful Colors: Unicorn
LVX: Mynt
Formula X: Infatuated.

Okay, one last look at these :3

Thank you guys so much for reading, and let me know what you guys think! Until next time!

Simple Easter Pastel Drybrush Art

Hi guys! Happy Easter! Hope you guys all had a great weekend. Today I have a very simple Easter inspired pastel dry brush mani to share with you guys. Extremely simple! For those who don't know, drybrushing is wiping off most of the polish from your brush and then painting your nails for an abstract stroke look. Let's take a look :3

I started off first with two coats of Ella+Mila Pistache. It's a creamy minty green, the formula is pretty nice, reached a nice opacity and consistency with two coats.

Next, I just picked out 3 colors, a white, a pink, and an orange/yellow to do some random strokes, and here's how they turned out! I used Formula X Brazen, Formula X White Matter, and Sinful Colors Pullover.

What do you guys think? Are you guys a fan of this technique? Thanks for reading and have a fantastic rest of your day!

Spring Pastel Leopard~

Hi my sweetie pies! Hope you're all having a wonderful Saturday! I definitely am, because I went out last night with my girlfriends and had a blast! So today, I want to show you guys this manicure I had on for the past week:

Yay leopard print nails! :D And since it's spring, I felt like using some of my pastels:

China Glaze Dance Baby, F21 Nameless Shimmery Black, Sinful Colors Cinderella

 I first put on 3 coats of Cinderella to achieve an opaque baby blue, and two coats of Dance Baby, although it was already pretty opaque at one. Then I just made random shaped dots on my nails, and omg. It looked horrible looool.

Eeeks! Looks like some kind of pastel sea monster lol

 But after I went around the dots with the shimmery black, it actually started to look like leopard prints! YAY :D

And lastly, here is a picture with flash to show you the beautiful pink/orange specks in Cinderella! There's a reason it's my FAAAVORITE blue, you know (;

Heheheh, that's it for this short post! I'm off to get a haircut, keeping my fingers crossed that it will turn out well!
Love you guys,
Christine

Pastel Saran Wrap Nails

Hi my little beauties! How are you guys doing? I'm in quite a dapper mood right now because I just submitted my resume, so I'm hoping I get the job! Until I get it, it's a secret for now :P 

But anyway, I have some saran wrap nails to show you guys today. I've been wanting to try this for so long, but honestly was too lazy to clean up haha. But the results I got this time were sooo pretty that I'm sure I'll be doing this more often!

See the shimmer in my ring finger? That's from my base color, Cinderella by Sinful Colors.

My favorite finger has to be my thumb, but right after I topcoated, I smudged it D: Can you see the weird mark on the tip haha?

Taken from my phone.

 So now that you see the beautiful results, let's reveal the process.
After I applied my 2 coats of Cinderella by Sinful Colors as a base, I went on to add blobs of a nameless lavender lilac, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet, and China Glaze Dance Baby

After dabbing all my nails with saran wrap, here is what my wrap looks like:

And here are what my nails look like (eek!): 

So that is the end of this post! Hope you guys had fun reading this, until next time my darlings :3

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! :-*

Birthday Ice Cream Nails :D

Hi my sweet pumpkins :3 Missed you guys soooo much! But I have been so busy this past week... So many tests because the quarter is ending soon! And on Wednesday, October 9th, it was my birthday :3 Hehehhe, so of course I did a b-day mani! And because I had recently reshaped my nails into a more stiletto shape, I thought it would be perfect :D

This is with flash, look at the base! SOOO glittery!

Hehehhe yup, just turned 17 :3

And this was my thumb for my right hand since writing 17 is obviously too hard for my little left hand xD

I love this mani hehehehhe except I feel I could've smoothed out the pastels more by adding another coat in some places because you can still see the grittiness of the glitter underneath... Anyway here were the colors used :
Mint Green: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet
Lilac: Nameless one I got from China I think...
Pink: China Glaze Dance Baby
Pale Yellow: Sinful Colors Unicorn (Such a pain to work with -____-)
And base color! :D My Toki Doki in Savannah! I'll have swatches up for you guys heheh
Loving my nails right now :3

Soooo, that would be it for today! Thanks sooo much for reading~~~ :-***

Sinful Colors: Unicorn

Sinful Colors Unicorn. This polish.... I'm really sad typing out this right now because I absolutely LOVE pastel yellows and this was one I've been wanting for AGES. And I just got it. And it sucks.

Four coats. Still looks nowhere near perfectly smooth and even...

One coat of streaky mess.

Two coats of streaky mess.

And I didn't even bother taking a pic of it at 3 coats because it practically is the same. Very streaky. The formula  is quite runny, causing pooling at the edges and it's really thin so you really don't get much coverage. The brushes with Sinful can be hit or miss, sometimes my bottle comes with a nice wider brush, and sometimes it comes with a brush that's really really thin... Like the Essie polishes, whose brushes I'm not a fan of either, however, their formula is a whooooole different story.
So anyway, I was thinking of ways to fix the formula issues because it's such a gorgeous color! And I tried layerning it over white:

Index and ring finger both have 2 coats, middle and pinky have 1.

My fault here actually, I didn't apply the white too evenly, and thus resulted in this hot mess. Although it is still not very nice, I definitely will wear this polish layered next time. Because at least over the white, the streakyness and pooling is reduced to a minimum.

Again... Disappointment, because I love this color!!!
