Holographic Laser Nail Art

Hello! How are my fav nailistas doing today? If you're like me, you are mostly running last errands before Christmas! I'm usually a good holiday planner but this year I'm very late. The nail art I have for you has been in my to do list for some time, and I like how festive it looks so I can also wear it for the holidays. What do you think of it? What I used: - Sation Black - Jade Holographics Psicodelica - BM 316  

Coucou! Comment vont mes nailistas préférées aujourd'hui? Si vous êtes comme moi, vous êtes probablement en train de courir pour les dernières courses de Noël! Généralement, je suis une bonne planificatrice de fêtes mais cette année, je suis très en retard. Le nail art que j'ai pour vous était dans ma to-do liste depuis un moment, et j'aime la façon dont il est festif donc je peux le porter pour les fêtes. Qu'en pensez-vous? Ce que j'ai utilisé: - Sation Black - Jade Holographics Psicodelica - BM 316

Tip Top Nails Review

Hello! I was greatly surprised when South African nail polish brand Tip Top Nails asked me to review some of their polishes. I said yes (of course) and received 5 polishes in the mail. I like the round shaped 10 ml bottle and the highly pigmented formula of each polish. Good news is these polishes are 4free (of Formaldehyde, Dibutylphthalate (DBP), Toluene and Camphor), opaque in two coats, and dry quickly. I'm impressed. Unfortunately there is no information on prices and shipping that I can share with you so I invite you to contact Tip Top Nails through their website, facebook, or twitter. Now on to the polish! The All-In-One! base coat helps strengthen your nails and prevent staining. Plus I like the fact that it's a nude colored base coat that I can also use alone. Grape To Meet You is a grape pink  with gold shimmer. My mom loved it so much I gave it to her :) We Have An Green-Mint is a fresh lime green that I loved the minute I saw it. It's a very bold color. Jeepers Creepers is a beautiful teal/viridian shimmer that reminds me of the ocean. Chiffon Squares, a silver polish, is my least favorite of the bunch. All swatches are 2 coats with Seche vite.

Salut! J'ai été agréablement surprise quand la marque de vernis Sud Africaine Tip Top Nails m'a demandé d'essayer certains de leurs vernis. J'ai dit oui (bien sûr) et reçu 5 vernis par la poste. J'aime la forme ronde du flacon de 10 ml et la formule très pigmentée de chaque vernis. La bonne nouvelle est que ces vernis sont 4free (du formaldéhyde, de dibutyle (DBP), toluène et camphre), opaque en deux couches et sèche rapidement. Je suis bluffée  Malheureusement, il n'existe aucune information sur les prix et le postage que je peux partager avec vous donc je vous invite à contacter Tip Top Nails sur leur site, facebook, ou twitter. Place aux vernis! La All-In-One! base coat aide à renforcer vos ongles et prévenir les taches. En plus, j'ai bien aimé le fait qu'il s'agit d'une base coat de couleur chair que je peux aussi utiliser seule. Grape To Meet You est un rose raisin avec des reflets or. Ma mère l'a tellement aimé que je le lui ai donné :) We Have An Green-Mint est un vert citron frais que j'ai adoré la minute où je l'ai vu. C'est une couleur osée. Jeepers Creepers est un beau turquoise / vert émeraude chatoyant qui me rappelle l'océan. Chiffon Squares, un vernis argent, est celui que je préfère le moins dans le lot.

Joyeux Noel !! Merry Christmas !!

Hello! Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas full of joy and happiness. Let's also have a thought for the needy in this giving/sharing time/ I am finally trying my 1st Zoyas (yes yes) with 2 coats of Blaze (red scattered holo) as a base and 3 coats of Electra (silver string glitter) on my ring finger. I added a bow stamp and some rhinestones to finish the look.  Hope you like it!

Bonjour! Je voulais juste vous souhaiter un Joyeux Noël plein de joie et de bonheur. Ayons également une pensée pour les nécessiteux dans ce temps de partage. J'ai enfin essayé mes 1er Zoyas (oui oui) avec 2 couches de Blaze (holo dispersé rouge) comme base et 3 couches d'Electra (longues paillettes argentées  sur mon annulaire. J'ai stampé un noeud ajouté des strass pour finir le look. J'espère que vous aimez!

Stripes!

Hello!
This is another nail art coming out of nowhere. I just used different nail art striping polishes over two coats of OPI Warm And Fozzie. It's easy and you can experience it with different colors, hope you like it!

Lazy Days Of Summer # 3 - Flag Day

Happy 4th of July everyone!
The third theme of the summer challenge I'm taking part in is Flag Day. I have a day full of activities for the national American holiday. I decided to do a sponged gradient manicure with Nails Inc Baker Street, Sally Hansen White On and Rapid Red, then I stamped over it with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and BM14 (from the first Bundle Monster plates set). Love the result and especially seeing all those patriotic manicures :) Have a good time and a safe holiday!

Firework nails- Tutorial

Hello!
I kind of regret having this on today because I will be packing like crazy. Let me show you the pics before anything bad happen to this manicure lol. I hope you like it :)

Let's go Miami Heat!

Hello again!

Today is game day! I live in Miami so I totally had to represent my team in Game 5 (and I hope the last game) of the 2012 NBA Finals. The Miami Heat will be going against the Oklahoma City Thunders and we are leading the series 3-1. Today will be crazy in the city and I'll be out to experience it. So yeah this nail art is my way of supporting my team. Let's go Heat! I'm glad of the result, not too bad for something I free handed.

Cacee BFF - Pixie

Good morning!
I hope you are having a good start of the day. I just can't wait for the week end to go out a little and my nails translate that lol. I have another Cacee BFF polish and this one is a silver scattered holo! Pixie is sheer enough to be a top coat but can also get to full opacity with three coats. As experienced before with Lucy another Cacee holographic that I have, the finish is grainy, so you need to add a top coat. Not a problem because I use it with almost every polish :) On to the pics!

Ludurana - Esplendido

Morning lovelies!
I'm almost done wearing all those polishes I received from Brazil. This is actually the last holographic of my Ludurana collection. It is silver, it has scattered holo particles and it smells good! I loved the application and the drying time, but was kind of disappointed because I expected it to be more holo. What is cool with Esplendido is that you can also use it as a top coat!. There is no sun today, so I took all my pics with flash. I went with three thin coats and added a coat of Seche vite.

Barry M - Denim

Hello!
Oh my! My first matte polish! I recently did a swap with my UK friend Aimee and this pretty was of of my "surprises". It is from the brand Barry M and is so gorgeous! It's a denim blue matte with silver shimmer. Denim wears its name so well, it just look like the pair of jeans I have on :) I love it, opaque in one coat, and the drying time is less than 2mn, which is perfect for me. On to the pics!

Paws and bones nail art (pics heavy)

Good morning lovelies!
Today is my dog Blacky 3rd (or should I say 21st lol) bday, so I have done this cute paws and bone manicure. He is very playful, love to swim and makes me so happy! I only wanted to do paws, but decided to add a bone on my pinkie as that's his favorite meal. I love how the mani turned out, hope you like it!

OPI - Number One Nemesis

Hey!
I have another favorite of the OPI Spiderman collection that is Number One Nemesis. I didn't like swatches of this one but I needed it when I saw it in real life. It is a silvery foil base with gold and green shimmer (the green was hard to capture in the pictures). It is very sheer at one coat but the second one evens it out and reveals its true awesomeness! Thanks to OPI for stepping up! What are your favorites colors of this collection?
The following pictures show two coats of Number One Nemesis without top coat.

Twee & Honey - Revolution

Good afternoon!
I ordered a few frankening supplies from a fellow indie polish maker, Twee & Honey, who is so nice that she included a mini bottle of one of her creations as a gift. Revolution is a clear shiny base with silver hex glitter of different sizes. I layered one coat over IsaDora Silver Sky. Can I say OMG!! I didn't even need top coat :) I LOVE it! It applies like butter, you don't need to fish for the glitter and you can apply it like normal polish :) On to the pics!
* I labelled the bottle myself

IsaDora - Silver Sky

Morning Lovelies,
I'm discovering some new brands, thanks to my Swedish friend Tracy who sent me a couple of local pretties. IsaDora is one of these brands and Silver Sky is the polish I'm showing you today. I love the bottle design and even more the polish in it! It is a dusty denim blue with tiny silver glassflecks. It has a great consistency and applies perfectly in two coats.
All swatches are without top coat.

ASBMF #12: May Flowers!

Hey Lovelies!
Theme 12 of the ASBMF challenge is May flowers and I have for you an easy nail art inspired from Tartofraises YouTube tutorial. The trick is to be fast and not let the polish dry. I used two coats of OPI Planks A Lot as a base, and Icing Magenta, NYC Prince Street, and a Kleancolor silver nail art stripper to achieve this look. Hope you like it!

Anselm Reyle for Dior - Metallic Silver 072

Hello Lovelies!
Dior and German artist Anselm Reyle worked together on a limited edition line of make up products, including one dazzling camouflage eye shadow palette and five nail polishes. This camouflage themed collection, was inspired by the artist's abstract work and his use of bright colors. I bought Metallic Silver 072 at a Dior booth in Saks 5th Avenue (I *think this collection was only sold there). I was originally looking for a lipstick but the lady I was talking to was rocking Metallic Silver and I couldn't help but to ask her. The rest is history!
Let me tell you that this pretty applies like butter. What you will see is ONE coat without top coat!
