VELVET SUGAR by Bath and Body Works Inspired Mani

Hi my sparkles! How was your day so far? Today I have a nail art post, (Yay not a swatch finally!!!) haha. It's inspired by this lotion that I've been desperately trying to use up xD I've had it for a while now, it's the Velvet Sugar Body Cream by Bath and Body Works. Not the biggest fan of the scent, but it works!

I wanted to do a mani based on the colors of the tube, originally I was going to do the floss/quilting technique, but I couldn't get that right, so I just went with striping haha. I also stamped on a turquoise floral design.

I used: Sally Hansen "Rupee Red" for the deep maroon color, Formula X "Brazen" for the pink, and Sinful Colors "Mint Apple" for the (little) splash of turquoise.

I originally did this mani in the glossy form, but I think it looked nicer matte, so I added Essie's matte topcoat over it. Here's the original version.

Okay, that's it for today's post! What's your favorite scent from Bath and Body Works? :)

XO,
Christine

Fourth of July: FLAG NAILS

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO MY AMERICAN READERS 😍😊

Hope you guys all had a great weekend, and are enjoying your time with friends and family! Today I have a Fourth of July nail design to share with you. Very easy!

I used Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" for the white, Formula X "Omni" for the blue, and striped on Julep "Elsie" as the shimmery holo red. I added a glitter called "Marry a Billionaire" by China Glaze to my pinky to imitate the sparkle of a fireworks show haha. I used the same white polish to stamp on some stars with the Bundle Monster BM14 plate.

These were super fun to wear! I had a lot of fun creating these, and a lot of people complimented me on my nails! Definitely super patriotic haha. Hope you guys enjoyed, and I would love to see some of your designs too! Link them to me via my Insta: @steamiexo or just comment them down below :D

That's it for today, I'll see you guys next time!
XO,

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 Barbie Pink Art

Hi everyone!
Today I have a pretty simple striped and dotticure to show you all, I'm not too pleased by the final result, but I really do enjoy this barbie pink and the bow design on my pinky haha.

First, I used 2 coats of Trust Fund Beauty I'm Kind of a Big Deal, a medium pink. Creamy, smooth, no problems with application.

Then I added some stripes and dots, and a design from a bundle monster stamping plate. Like I said, I really love my pink design, but not very satisfied with the rest of my hand :'D. It's okay haha, still wanted to share with you guys.

That's the finished look! I might try to redo this mani because I'm not very pleased, but I'll update you guys on that! Hope you enjoyed and talk to you guys next time!

Haiii :3
So yea, another design I had in my folder that I never posted. Again, these were taken with my phone... so apologies for the quality! This was waayyyy back when I had sharp nails hahaha, good times! Might go back to that, what do you guys think?

Look at how long my fingers look :P That's one thing I like about having claw nails!

For this mani, I used 2 coats of Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby as a base. This stuff is really pigmented, yet thin. I'm not sure how to describe it, like it's pigmented but not opaque as in it cannot block out the colors underneath. Okay I have no idea what I'm saying. Just that I love this red! And China Glaze Liquid Leather for details with a striping brush. Added Magenta, red, and black rhinestones.

Hope you guys like~
