Essie Angora Cardi Swatch

 I think this will be one of my favorite colors to wear during the spring! (After I've worn out all my pastels of course!) Its a nice mauve/dusty rose/gray-red color. The first photo is how the color looks in the sunlight while the second is in the shade and the last is indoors. It took 3 coats to get an even shade on all of my nails & I wore this for a little over a week and it didn't have many chips (I guess I can also thank Seche Vite for that too!)

Modern Family Collection: Back In My Gloria Days

I was so excited for this collection to come out because who doesn't like Modern Family! After looking at the colors on the internet beforehand I thought that there were a few good colors but when I saw them in person I thought there was nothing new. Like all these colors are just basics that most people have a color like already. Overall they were kind of boring but I did pick up this color because purple is my favorite color. The actual color is more like the last photo but depending on the lighting and whether youre indoors or outdoors it sometimes can look more magenta. It is a burple-magenta metallic and depending on how thick your coats are it takes 2-4 coats to allow it to look even and opaque.

Ravens Nails!

For the first design I used Revlon Colorstay in Stiletto as a base color. For the half moons I used a large dotting tool with OPI Pack Your Booty Shorts. And finally for the Raven face I used various dotting tools and different sized brushes to draw on the design.

For this nail design I used Revlon Colorstay in Stiletto as the base color as well. For the camo I used OPI Pack Your Booty Shorts (purple), Zoya Carey (light gray), essence Surfer Babe in Point Break (dark gray), and a white striper. I used dotting tools to do the design. For the eyes I used the same OPI purple with a brush and then used the biggest dotting tool dipped in a red for the eyes, then used a smaller dotting tool for the black pupil. Once that was dry I added the white glint on it.

Polka Dots!

This design is super easy but can be time consuming. In the photos it is about 5 days wear so that's why they don't have a 'fresh' look. The colors I used were Revlon Metallic (silver), Revlon Charming (lavender), and Revlon Blue Lagoon (blue). For the dots I just used a medium and large sized dotting tool.

Christmas Nails!

My two Favorite things: Nail Polish and Christmas! On my left hand I did the characters from Rudolph- Bumble, Santa, and Rudolph. On my right hand I did the Grinch and Max. (Yes, I forgot Max's ears...)

Burberry Nails

Burberry inspired nails are trending almost as much as the scarves! For this nail look I used Essie's Sand Tropez for the base and then i used Black, White, and Red stripers to do the design. For the ring finger I used Essie's Little Brown Dress.

Vacation Nails

Sorry for the late post! I wore this when I went to the Outer Banks for vacation. It is an ombre of Revlon Colorstay in Coastal Surf, Nina Ultra Pro in Punki Pink and Orange Flame. I had to do 2-3 coats of the ombre to get it nicely opaque but not overly applied. I then went over with the Seche fast drying topcoat to smooth out the colors and help blend them in. I used a black striper to add the dolphin and palm tree on my ring and pinky fingers. I got alot of compliments and it lasted pretty long! This was one of my favorite nail designs to do over the summer.
