China Glaze - Ghoulish Glow

This is by far the hardest polish to photograph EVER! Like seriously I have had this polish for more than a year and wore it numerous times for girls night out, but I continuously failed at taking a picture of it. I googled and read many tutorials on how to photograph glow in the dark objects and still nothing. My camera didn't work, nor my S3 or Ipad. I was about to throw the towel when I tried my bother's Iphone. Finally!!! What I used: China Glaze Ghoulish Glow

Ce vernis est de loin le plus difficile à photographier! Sérieusement, j'ai ce vernis depuis plus d'un an et je l'ai porté plusieurs fois pour des sorties entre copines, mais j'ai toujours du mal à le prendre en photo. J'ai googlé et lu de nombreux tutoriels sur comment photographier des objets fluorescents et toujours rien. Rien avec mon appareil photo, ni mon S3 ou iPad. J'étais sur le point de jeter l'éponge quand j'ai essayé l'Iphone de mon frère. Enfin!!! Ce que j'ai utilisé: China Glaze Ghoulish Glow

Saran Nails Remix

Remember my take 1 on saran nail art? Well I loved it so much that I gave it another try. I just closed my eyes and picked 2 polishes in my untrieds, then let the magic do its work. On to the pics! What I used: Catrice After Eight, China Glaze Blue Year's Eve, Cover Band Sticks 'N' Stones

Vous vous souvenez de mon 1er essai au nail art saran? Eh bien je l'ai tellement kiffé qu'il fallait que je le ressaie. J'ai juste fermé les yeux et pris deux vernis au hasard, puis j'ai laissé ma magie créative faire le reste. Place aux photos! Ce que j'ai utilisé: Catrice After Eight, China Glaze Blue Year's Eve, Cover Band Sticks 'N' Stones

China Glaze - Ride The Waves

China Glaze Ride The Waves is a royal blue jelly that I received as a gift. It's just too beautiful. It has a nice glossy finish and will make you feel in control anytime you wear it. 3 coats after, it was still not opaque (which is totally normal for a jelly) so I decided to create an edgy nail art. On to the pics! By the way, don't forget to enter my giveaway which is ending in a couple days. What I used: China Glaze Ride The Waves, China Glaze Passion, BM 209.

China Glaze Ride The Waves est un bleu royal jelly que j'ai reçu en cadeau. Il est juste trop beau. Il a une belle finition brillante et vous donne de l'assurance quand vous le portez. 3 couches après, il n'était toujours pas opaque (ce qui est tout à fait normal pour un jelly), alors j'ai décidé de créer un nail art edgy. Place aux photos! Au fait, n'oubliez pas de vous inscrire à ma tombola qui finit dans quelques jours. Ce que j'ai utilisé: China Glaze Ride The Waves, China Glaze Passion, BM 209.

China Glaze - Deviantly Daring

Hello! I received this polish as a gift from my bday club. It's not that bad. Deviantly Daring is teal/turquoise to green duochrome with a metallic finish. I have no complaint on the formula. It went on nicely and was opaque in 2 coats, topped with Seche vite. On to the pics!

White polish comparison

Hello again! We continue the comparison posts series and today I’m going to talk about white polishes. I do a lot of nail art so I use them a lot. If I have to stamp over it or add layers of other colors, my white polish better be opaque in one coat and dry fast. Let’s look at OPI Alpine Snow, Sation Snow White, NYC French White Creme, Sally Hansen White On , and China Glaze Moonlight.

Re bonsoir! Nous continuons la série comparaison et aujourd'hui, je vais parler de vernis blancs. Je fais beaucoup de nail art donc j' en utilise assez. Si je dois stamper dessus ou ajouter des couches d'autres couleurs, vaut mieux que mon vernis blanc soit opaque en une seule couche et sèche rapidement. Penchons-nous sur OPI Alpine Snow, Sation Snow White, NYC French White Creme, Sally Hansen White On , and China Glaze Moonlight.

Magnetic nails remixed

Trends come and go. And when they go it’s hard for them to do a come back. I feel bad for my shatter/crackle and magnetic polishes, that I only wore once. I gifted some to my friends and the ones I kept, I wanted to use in a more creative way. This is China Glaze You Move Me (reviewed here) meeting Sation Garnet Red. What do you think of it?

Les modes vont et viennent. Et quand elles vont, il est difficile pour elles de faire un come back. Je me sens mal pour mes vernis crackle et magnétiques, que je n’ai porté qu'une seule fois. J’en ai offert a des amies et ceux que j’ai gardé, je voulais les utiliser avec plus de créativité. Voici la rencontre de China Glaze You Move Me (revu ici) et Sation Garnet Red. Alors qu’en pensez-vous?

Subtle stamping with OPI Ds Temptation

Hello lovelies! I did this mani on one of my friends nails last week, and I loved it so much that I decided to copy it. You know none of my friends knew about my blog and my interest in everything nail related and it was a big mistake of me to think that they would judge my hobby. It was the contrary because they totally love it, especially the nail polish parties.

Bonjour mes beautés!                                                                                J'ai fait cette manucure sur les ongles d’une de mes amies la semaine dernière, et je l'ai tellement kiffée que j'ai décidé de le refaire pour moi. Vous savez, personne ne savait pour mon blog et mon intérêt pour tout ce qui lié aux ongles et c'était une grosse erreur de ma part de penser qu'ils jugeraient mon hobby. Au contraire mes amies adorent, en particulier les parties de vernis à ongles.

OPI - Vodka & Caviar and gold tips

Hello! OPI Vodka & Caviar is one of my favorites reds. First I love OPI's nail polish brushes and their jelly formula is always spot on. This beauty is opaque in 2 coats and the finish so shiny you might not want to add top coat. This is the kind of colors that will always make you feel like a queen. I complimented this true red with a gold French tip done with China Glaze Passion. How do you like it? I have read that it is now discontinued so if you know of any dupes, please share! See you

Coucou! OPI Vodka & Caviar est l’un de mes rouges favoris. D’abord j'aime les pinceaux des vernis OPI et leur formule jelly est toujours réussie  Cette beauté est opaque en 2 couches et la finition est si brillante que vous ne voudrez pas ajouter de top coat. C'est le genre de couleurs qui vous feront toujours sentir comme une reine. J'ai complimenté ce rouge vif avec une French manucure dorée faite avec China Glaze Passion. Ça vous plaît? J'ai lu qu'on ne le vend plus donc si vous connaissez un copycat, partagez svp! A toute

Guest Post from I Feel Polished - Sugar Spun Nails

Hey lovelies! Let me introduce you to the adorable Heather from I Feel Polished  who kindly accepted to do a guest post for me :) I met her in the Florida Polish Society group and got hooked to her simple, yet amazing nail art techniques. Thank you Heather!
***
Hello Everyone! My name is Heather and I run a blog called I Feel Polished! I'm so happy to be here today! When Karine asked for guest bloggers for her blog, I was really excited and a little nervous because this is my first guest post! So, please go easy on me! :) 

Today I have a bright mani for you guys! When I think of summer, I immediately go to neon polishes. I love having bright color of my nails! I also love nail art and trying out new techniques, so I'm showing you guys my first attempt at the spun sugar technique. If you've never seen or done this before, I highly suggest you look for a video on YouTube. Explaining it would be very difficult but the technique itself is relatively easy. Anyways, enough of me talking, onto the pictures! 

For this manicure I used China Glaze Purple Panic and Pink Voltage. I have HK Girl top coat on, which is similar to Seche Vite, but much better in my opinion! Enjoy and thanks to Karine for letting me take over her blog for a day! :)

OPI - Black Spotted

Hello lovelies!
I got my hands on the precious OPI Black Spotted, thanks to a nail polish friend who sent it to me from France. As you know it was exclusively released as part of the Spiderman collection  in Sephora France. I like it better than the crackle effect. I layered one coat over China Glaze Ruby Pumps and you can notice that it's a learning curve. I have seen many girls complaining about it, it's all about the application, which is very tricky, you just need to wait for your base coat to be dry and apply a super duper really thin coat. I have also seen some complaints about Black Spotted peeling off when you apply a top coat over it. I did apply one coat of Seche Vite and didn't have any issues.

China Glaze Kaleidoscope Party!

Good morning!

It's another holo party with China Glaze. The Kaleidoscope collection is comprised of scattered holos, I love them because they are discreet yet sparkling. The formula is nice and applied easily in two coats. It's less holo than the OMGs and Designer Series, but still beautiful! Which one is your favorite? Mine is He's Going In Circles :)
All swatches are without top coat.

China Glaze OMG Party!

Good morning!
It's time for my China Glaze holos to shine a little. I completed this collection by swapping with some lovelies ladies, and getting the jackpot in a nail salon. I like the OMGs because they dry so fast, there is no need of top coat. I also love the smooth linear holographic finish, which is similar to Nfu Oh, Make Up Store, and Gosh. The only downside is that they chip pretty fast.
All swatches are two coats of each polish without top coat.

Leopard tape manicure- Tutorial

Hello!
I received some stripping tape so I decided to play with it. It's the second time I'm using it and I still have to get a hang of it. I wanted to do a holographic tape manicure, but it's raining today :( So I got two polishes received in a swap and let my creativity do the rest. On to the pics!
