Jungle Colored Feather Nail Art Inspired by RCT2

Hi sparkles! Today I have a nail art with a bit of an odd backstory LOL.
Soooo, you've all heard of Roller Coaster Tycoon, I'm sure. The nostalgic early 2000's game that took the world by storm. Yup, I recently purchased it and started playing it again! Just as addictive as I remembered it to be. So I did this nail art inspired by the colors of the game.

Soooo, inspired by the jungle trees and rivers and the colors of the game LOL. And of course, I added a feather just for the heck of it.

These are the colors I used, Sally Hansen Please Sea Me, Sinful Colors Mint Apple, and Formula X Zap. I had to layer two coats of zap over a white, because it's extremely sheer, it's more of like a tint of neon yellow. No way I could've gotten it opaque by itself.

Okay, that's it for the post today haha. Just wanted to share my current obsession with y'all 🌝😂😅

Until next time,
XO

Olive Forever 21 Polish

Hi my sweet cupcakes! I have a quick post today to share with you guys, this has been on my nails for almost a week now, and it's a shimmery murky green/yellow/olive F21 Polish. No topcoat in any of the pictures! Mostly because I was in a rush, and ended up forgetting hahaha

Pretty *o*

And on a whim, I picked up the Sephora by OPI black shatter at TJMaxx for $3.99 ahaha, even though I rarely ever use crackle polishes :P Can't pass up a good deal! Anyway, this olivey green has been sitting in my untrieds for a while now, and I couldn't find anything to paint my nails, so I decided to paint it with this color! Love the color after I tried it on, I can definitely see myself wear this more in the fall time.

With flash, shimmer particles are BLINDING under direct light! Loooove it :D

Also, this polish is extremely opaque at one coat, which is on my ring finger under the shatter. Have a pic to prove it!

Super opaque and pretty! F21 has not been letting me down with their polishes lately! I've seen quite a few posts of really nice F21 polishes, and that makes me want to go buy some more hahah xD

Okay, that's it for the super quick post today! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far! Talk to you again soon ❤

Color Club Take Wing Collection: Daisy Does It, Sparkle and Soar

Hi my sweethearts! So today, as promised, I have two other nail polishes from the Take Wing collection, Daisy Does It, a warm golden yellow with iridescent yellow and green shimmer/ duochrome, and Sparkle and Soar, a yellowed orange with golden shimmer.

1 Thick Coat

2 Coats

 

Personally, I think 2 coats is fine, but if you REALLY don't like bare nail showing, then go for 3. Also, doing thick coats with these are soooo easy, they're not goopy or anything like that, so thicker coats are actually really nice (:



 

Oops. Do you see the green shimmer?

 Okay, now here's the part where things get interesting:

1 coat of Daisy Does It over a plain black cream.

Blurred to capture sparkle!!!

 OH MY GOSH. DO YOU SEE THAT. omg I got so excited after I layered it, I don't think I'm ever going to wear this by itself again hahaha because it's not that flattering on my skin tone. Over black, the green sparkles really show up and are definitely more prominent. GORGEOUS.


Now, Sparkle and Soar.

1 coat

2 Coats

Again, over black. Just the way I like them :D, index and ring are two coats of Sparkle and Soar

Doesnt the orangey yellow remind you of thanksgiving? :3

Gorgeous polishes. Layered over black. On their own, I'm not too much of a fan, because they don't flatter my skintone. The formula was really nice, REALLY nice, very thin and smooth. Overall, I'm glad I purchased these because they would be sooo amazing for layering!
Hehe, thanks for reading guys! See you next time (:

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!!!

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 :****

Ivy League?

Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys, schools starting soon, and stress has been taking me over )': My nails still have those luscious China Glazes on them, so I'm going to show you a few pics of a Nail Of The Day I had a while back. Again, sorry for the quality ): Phone's camera isn't the best...

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Ivy League, topped with Icing Frost Yourself

Bonus pic ;D

I really loved this combo of yellow/green topped with a bighexagonal holo glitter, makes me think of those spring dewdrops!
