Fiery Matte Flakies

Hey there! I haven't worn flakies in a long time so I decided to dust them off and use it for todays' mani. My matte top coat has also been sitting in my nail polish rack for some time, and we all know that flakies + matte is a winning combo. I feel like my nails are on fire, love the rocky look. Thanks for reading and have a good week! What I used : - Sally Hansen Black Out - Hits Speciallita Fox Trot - Essie Matte About You 

Coucou! Ca fait un moment que je n'ai pas mis de vernis flakies, donc j'ai décidé de les dépoussiérer et d'en utiliser pour le nail art d'aujourd'hui. Mon top coat effet mat patientait gentiment dans mon armoire à vernis, et on sait toutes que flakies + mat c'est une combination gagnante. J'ai l'impression d'avoir les ongles en feu, j'aime bien le look rock. Merci de me lire et passez une bonne semaine! Ce que j'ai utilisé: - Sally Hansen Black Out - Hits Speciallita Fox Trot - Essie Matte About You

Matte vs Glossy French Manicure

Hey lovelies! As I told you before, I started a new job and I'm restricting myself to plain nail polish shades, and it's boring lol. So I decided to find ways to spice my manicures up without getting into nail art. I had always wanted to try the matte/glossy trend and I used Essie Matte About You, Wet N Wild Black Creme, and Seche vite. What do you think of it?

Hey mes beautés! Comme je vous l'ai dit auparavant, j'ai commencé un nouvel emploi et je limitais aux vernis unis, et c'est assez ennuyant lol. J'ai donc décidé de trouver des moyens pour pimenter mes manucures sans faire du nail art. J'ai toujours eu envie d'essayer la tendance mat /brillant alors j'ai utilisé Essie Matte About You, Wet N Wild Noir Creme, et Seche Vite. Qu'en pensez-vous?

Polish Days - Jelly Sandwich

Happy Jelly Sandwich day !

Well today is the second theme of Polish Days, which is a day where nail bloggers all over the world post about a single theme, at the same time. I missed Floam day because I didn't have the polish :( but jellies? eh they are easy to franken if you don't have any. Please click here to find out more about Polish days and how to participate as I know a few of you who will like to join.
For my mani I used Essie San Tropez, diluted with a clear base to have a jelly and Kleancolor Starry Purple.  On to the pics!

Playing with Dior Rock Coat

Hey lovelies!
I got the Dior Rock Coat a few months ago at Nordstorm but didn't get to play with it until now. It is a sheer black jelly base that comes in a 10ml bottle and is supposed to give an ombre look when applied over a color. I like it but think that you can franken your own easily and cheaper with a couple drops of black polish in a clear base. According to Dior, Rock Coat is "the ultimate smoky topcoat. As a topcoat, its semi-transparent black formula coats varnish with a veil of smoky lacquer, extending wear and increasing shine. Your nail varnish takes on an enigmatic 'rock' look." Well let's see. I layered it over different colors.

ASBMF #8: Matte Magic!

Hey lovelies!
I'm having a game night with two close friends that I got into nail polish and one of them suggested that we should have a nail related prize for the winner. We will have different games including Scrabble, Uno, Wii, and Poker. I foresee a fun night, especially because I want to win the Grand Prize (each one of us gave decants of our HTFs): China Glaze TTYL, China Glaze Kaleidoscope Him Out, and China Glaze LOL.
I so wanted to have nails that looked liked cards but couldn't figure it out so I matched my ASBMF Matte manicure to the game night theme.

ASBMF #4: April Showers

Hello!

First let me say that in doubt of anything, Google is your best friend to look for answers. Day 4 of the ASBMF challenge is "April showers" and I had no idea what it meant. After researching, I learned that it is a time of year when it rains and I quickly looked some images online for inspiration. I found this beautiful image and wanted a mani that reflects it. Let me know what you think about it!

Noir Désir (pics heavy)

Morning lovelies,

I finally tried the matte effect! I always wanted to do it after seeing some beautiful matte manicures online. So I did try it with Noir Désir and I love the result. This polish might be my favorite from the whole collection. Noir Désir is a black charcoal jelly with an explosion of opalescent flakies and glitter. It is very sparkly and distracting, I won't recommend driving with it (lol)
On to the pictures. See you tomorrow!
