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,
Christine

Hearts and Kisses, Valentines Day Nail Art :D

Hi everyone! :D I'm back with a nail polish post today, yay :3 I've been in quite a happy mood lately hehe, so I have a simple romantic mani to share today~
However, just take a note that the pink looks more true in the artificial lighting pics, natural lighting makes it too blue-ish.

This is natural lighting, do you guys prefer this or my artificial light? Color is inaccurate here...

Do you guys see how cloudy my rhinestone looks? Any ways to prevent this? ):

Love this finger the most hehe, kissies :-*

The pink I used is called Dance Baby by China Glaze and the white is Sally Hansen White On, which is very streaky... but typical for a pure white polish.
Here is everything at 1 coat, you can see how amazingly opaque Dance Baby is! :D

Okay, that concludes today's post! I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far :3 And, of course, thanks for reading (:
-Hugs and Kisses,
Christine.

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!!!
