Candeo Jellybean!

Hi lovelies! I have my first Candeo Colors polish on the blog tonight! I have heard so many great things about the polish and when I saw a few weeks ago that at Candeo's restock some bottles of Jellybean were left, I had to get it! Jellybean is a light yellow milky jelly base with pink and purple microglitters and larger pink, turqouise and purple glitters. When you layer this polish, it gives you a sort of jelly sandwich look! I layed 1 coat of Jellybean over Sation nail lacquer Lemon Pearl, a super pretty light yellow with shimmer. I really love Sation nail lacquers by Miss Professional Nail and they are only $5! Anyway, I was lucky and got a bottle of Jellybean LOADED with glitter. I have seen some swatches that have nearly no glitter in them, but I have a TON!

In the shade.

In the sunlight.


How cute is Candeo's label with the little chameleon on it?!

Application of lemon Pearl was really smooth but I do wish the brush was a littleeee skinnier since my nails are little. Application of jellybean was great as well and I had a lot of glitter on the nail with only one coat! I topped Jellybean off with a coat of Glitter Food and Butter London topcoat. I highly suggest you try out Candeo colors when they are available again and try out Sation! You can find Candeo on their personal website and on Llarowe. You can find Sation at misspn.com. Have a great week!



Prettyyyy:)

FLIPPING OUT! HARD.

Hi! I recently got a hold of a hard to get polish from Nail Pattern Boldness that she is trying to make a permanent color in her collection! It's called Flipping Out Hard and is. AWESOME. It is a clear base with a ton of neon green matte glitters with blue neon and yellow neon matte glitters as well. A lot of people think this is a dupe of Nail-Venturous Floam. Not true! Here is a comparison shot:

Nail Pattern Boldness Flipping Out Hard and Nail-Venturous Floam





As you can see, Floam has a lot more blue glitter and FOH has a lot more green glitter. I for one prefer Flipping Out Hard if you are only going to buy one:) It's just so fun and vibrant! For my mani, I chose to layer FOH over China Glaze's I'm With the Lifeguard from their neon summer colors. They complement each other so well! I like to layer my glitters over a base color because glitters by themselves are so dang hard to remove! But so pretty and worth it:)


Neon enough for you?




Application of FOH was really good. I layered 1 1/2 coats of it over 1 coat of the China Glaze. I then topped it with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food to make it super shiny, with a coat of Butter London topcoat on top. Love it alot! Even my fiance really liked it and he doesn't understand my love for polish! Lol.


Sun. WHOA BRIGHT! lol

Shade. Still super duper bright!:)

Please excuse my index nail. It broke:'(

This picture is a bit blurry because it was so neon my camera was like, "What's going on here?!" lol


I am IN LOVE with this polish! It is so unique and it's a neon and we all know how much I freaking love neons. I'll be rocking neons all winter long too! Don't get me wrong, I love me some darker sexy colors but I just love neons. Period. There isn't any FOH available right now but if you follow Nail Pattern Boldness on Facebook, she will let you know when more become available! You NEED this polish! Plus the owner is so sweet, and she sends little notes that are beyond presh with her polishes! Go check her page out! Have a great weekend!!

My First Ever HARE Polish!!

Hi everyone! I'm currently in between classes at school so I thought I'd put up a blog post! I recently just ordered my first HARE polish which is a brand that is pretty hard to get your hands on. They are really unique and have opaque bases with glitter. This is my first polish from this Indie brand and I am in love!! It is one of the most gorgeous polishes ever, pictures do not do it justice! The one I picked up from HARE's etsy store is called Magic Mist, which is a lavender base with magenta, purple, orange, and blue sparkles in it! I layered it over one coat of Essence's Oh My Glitter! so that I would not have to use much of this beautiful polish and I can save it!

Essence Oh My Glitter! and HARE Magic Mist!

Look at those pretty micro glitters in there! Not bad at all for a $1.99 polish!

Beautiful.

Are her labels super cute or what?!

GLITTER! And the colors compliment each other so well!


I first applied my Butter London base coat and then added one coat of the Essence polish that covered really well! When that was dry, I added just ONE coat of Magic Mist and it went on beautifully and was opaque! The formula is really creamy and the glitters are easy to work with! Excellent polish!! In my photos the base looks a little blue for some reason but it was a really pretty dusty purple/lavender! I finished off the look with one coat of Glitter Food by Nail Pattern Boldness and one coat of Butter London's topcoat!




Beautiful!!

Needless to say, this is one of my new favorite polishes and I highly recommend this Indie brand! HARE has such different and unique polishes! You can find HARE on Facebook here for shop updates or you can buy her polishes when they are restocked on Llarowe. Have a great day!! What do you think of this polish?

Purple and Sparkles:)

I got two new polishes recently and they go together perfectly even though they are from different brands! I just had to get Butter London's new fall color, Lovely Jubbly. First of all, the name is hilarious because a jubbly is British slang for a boob. Lol. Plus it is a superrrrr pretty and sparkly polish! It's a magenta base with red, blue, and gold sparkles. If you put a glitter tamer over it and then a topcaot, it is super glossy and so shiny that the glitter sometimes blurs in the light! The second color I got is one of the new OPI Germany colors, a beautiful purple called Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs. I loved this purple color when I saw it because it is super shiny and kind of metallic. When you look closer on the nail, you can see tiny red and blue shimmers, bonus! The two polishes go great together so I decided to layer Lovely Jubbly over Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs.



The outcome is super pretty and a great manicure for upcoming Fall! To make the glitter look really glassy I used a new item to me called Glitter Food from Nail Pattern Boldness. This stuff is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It is also called fix a flat to help make polishes with sinking glitters look new again! I put one coat of Glitter Food over Lovely Jubbly and then one coat of Butter London's topcoat over it. The result: glitter that looks like it's under glass! I love this Glitter Food so much because I have always had trouble with all of my glitter polishes sucking up a ton of topcoat and still not looking shiny. This Glitter Food helps so much! A must have for any glitter polish! You can find Nail Pattern Boldness' Etsy store here! She also makes super pretty matte glitter polishes! I got one called Le Big Party that is rainbow matte glitter that I'll post a picture of later on!










I have been letting my nails grow out and I got rid of all my yucky hangnails thanks to Lemony Flutter cuticle butter from Lush. So proud of myself! My nails look completely different then when I first started blogging! The cuticle butter by the way is beyond awesome! You get a ton in a little tub. You can find it here. Go check out these new polishes for Fall, they are beautiful!!

Olympic Nails!

I know I'm a little late on posting olympic nails but better late than never! I used Nails Inc Baker Street which is the prettiest cobalt blue ever and Zoya Maura is the red on my accent nails. Then I stamped houndstooth from my konad plate in Snow Me White from Sinful Colors and the swirls are from the same konad plate as well! Love the gymnastics and syncronized swimming!! I also love that swimmers are embracing nail art! Go USA!:)
