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!

ASBMF #11: Eggs and Chicks


Hello!
I had a lot of fun doing this theme because I wanted my chicks to have facial expressions! I had never done this type of nail art before so please forgive my beginner skills! I started with three coats of Icing Lemon Cello On The Rocks (lol what a name), then used China Glaze Moonlight an a dotting tool to design the broken egg shells. I used OPI Bronzed to Perfection for the nose and OPI Suzi Loves Cowboys for the eyebrows. Enjoy!

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.

Impala - Na Mira 3D (pics heavy)


Hey!

I need to plan a trip to Brazil, lol seriously all of their polishes I own are just amazing! Today I'm showing you Impala Na Mira 3D, another pretty received from a swap. It is a sheer goldish/silver base with scattered holo particles and pink/purple flash. I'm not a fan of scattered holos, but this one is just magnificent! It is pretty sheer so I'm sure I can use it as a top coat over other colors. It comes in a 7.5 ml bottle. I'm used to the Impala brand because they have a small booth in my local mall (along with a Konad booth too!) so I went to get a back up of Na Mira 3D but they did not have it. Bummer! Well enjoy the pics!
