2 different nail art

I did two different nail art this month. Well actually it might be 3. With this one I started off by painting them gold and then adding some orange nail polish diagonally with tape. Here is the picture.


 

Then I added some black on the tips. This is where they came out kind of bulky because I fell asleep and they got lines on them so I added another clear coat to smooth the lines out.



I was really pleased with how they turned out. I did this nail art to match a blouse that has this exact same pattern. I was going out on a date with my husband. I got some nice compliments on them.

Ok so for this next nail art, I did them for my 2 year anniversary date with my husband on Monday. I did my toes too to match my hands. I got this idea from a nail art tutorial on youtube from Janelle (elleandish). It's really cute and fun. I got a lot of compliments on them when we were out on our anniversary date. My husband thought they were Vera Bradley inspired nails lol. I have a few Vera Bradley purses so I guess that is why he thought that. These are actually Marimekko inspired by Janelle (Elleandish) Here are pictures



I really loved these! For Janelle (Elleandish) tutorial click on the link below

Model City Wear With Caution polish

Today I have Model City's Wear With Caution. I had taken these pictures a while back. Maybe like a month or 2 ago. I still wear this polish because I love the holographic effect. This was my very first holographic nail polish. I have seen many people on Instagram about how awesome holos are. I have seen many and none have caught my eye. I guess its because Instragram sometimes blurs peoples picture when the post them. So I saw a swatch by Nina (maker of Model City polish) on facebook (I follow her) and I fell in love with the color and the holo effect. I just had to have it. I stalked her page waiting for the day she would sell that polish. My classmates were laughing at me because I had set an alarm at the time she would put the polish in stock and was ready to run to the bathroom at purchase it on my phone. We had presentations that day and I was afraid I was going to get called up to present my presentation at the time she posted the polish for sale. Luckily we were given a break and I bought the polish. lol I was determined to buy it before it sold out. The day I received my package I was so excited! I put on the polish right away and I was very pleased with this polish. It is beautiful! I would get so distracted when the sun would hit my finger nails lol I went a little crazy taking pictures too lol Wear With Caution is a perfect name for this polish because you will get distracted so easily with it. It's so beautiful. It is a beautiful purple polish packed with holo goodness. Now its time for the pictures!





I just love this polish! I can't get enough of it! The polish is currently not on her shop. My guess is it is sold out but you can check out her other polishes as well. She might put up more for sale later. Her esty shop is linked below

Born Pretty Holo Polish #10

I came across Born Pretty's holo nail polishes when I read Very Emily's blog. I had seen the polishes before on facebook by someone who posted about their new holo polishes but I was skeptical. There were no pictures of swatches so I decided not to buy them at the time. The price was awesome though. $5.59 and free shipping was a deal! I have other holo's made by indies and they are $12-$14 with shipping included. So times passes by and I come across Very Emily's blog. She had swatches of all the polishes available by Born Pretty and I was satisfied with how they looked. I bought #10. The polish looks bluish when you put it on but when the light hits it, it becomes a turquoise color. Very beautiful bright color and the holographic effect its awesome! Not bad for a $6 polish. There are 12 other shades available at Born Pretty store. I also bought holo polish #2 which is a reddish shade. I will post on that one later. Application for this polish was smooth and it dried fast. Totally satisfied with this polish. I hope to get the rest of the collection soon. To buy Born Pretty holographic polishes visit http://www.bornprettystore.com/holo-polish-c-268_106_389.html
My fingers look nasty because they were super dry. Even with Burt Bees they were still wrinkly. At the time I took this I was super stressed out with school and I was not drinking enough water.

Delush Polish Eggs-travaganza

Here is another polish from Delush Polish I had bought back in April. Adriana made this for Easter along with two other cute polishes. Eggs-travaganza is a "creamy teal with pops of red, orange, green and iridescent shimmer!" This is a very cute polish. Application was smooth. I had no complaints about this polish. The colors went well with my scrubs from school lol You can buy this polish on Adriana's website delushpolish.com Full size bottles are $8.95. I don't know if this polish is still available. It does show on her website. Try it out if you like this polish!

Delush Polish Ocean Sapphire

Here is another polish by the lovely and sweet Adriana maker of Delush Polish. This polish is called Ocean Sapphire and let me tell you, this polish is so beautiful. The photos I took do it no justice. I love how it changes color. One minute it looks blue and another minute a greenish color. "Ocean Sapphire is Stunning blue jelly blend with tons of holo and iridescent glitters!" Believe me the name of this polish fits it perfect because it does look like the colors of the ocean. The application of this polish was a little bit on the thick side and had a little trouble with it but I added a few drops of nail polish remover and it worked great. Since I bought a mini bottle the polish tends to get thicker easily. I would recommend buying the large bottle. It will last you longer.




Delush Polishes are available at delushpolish.com Mini bottles are $4.50 and large bottle are $8.95

Delush Polish Pinata Confetti

It has been a very long time since I have done any nail polish reviews. I have however done a lot of nail polish swatches for some indies for instagram. It just seems faster to do than blogging about it. I have been super busy with school and I just haven't had the time to blog about these swatches. I am currently on a 2 month vacation from school so now I have the time. :) So Delush polish is a new indie brand I came across on Instagram. I don't know how long Adriana has been making her polishes but I found out about her when she started following me on Instagram. Her polishes are so cute! I decided to go ahead and buy some of her polishes. I bought 3 from her. This one is called Pinata Confetti. It is a polish packed with lots of sparkly glitters. It shines beautifully in the light and in the sun. I cant help but stare at my nails hehe. I used this topper over Revlons Sassy #510. The application was smooth and with each dip, the brush was packed with glitters. I love this polish and the quality. This topper would go great with any color!





You can buy these polishes at Adriana's web site delushpolish.com Mini bottles are $4.50 and Large bottles are $8.95

Voodoo Vixen nail polish by love that lacquer!

UPDATE: unfortunately she no longer sells this polish. She closed her shop


It's bee a VERY long time since I have blogged on here. Like always, I have been busy with my occupational therapy assistant courses. I am starting to really like this career field. So I have a new indie polish to show off! She just started making indie polishes and is selling some right now. I met on her instagram and she is very creative! I love her new line of polishes. This polish is called Voodoo Vixen. It is a black nail polish with tiny silver glitters, neon pink, green, and blue glitters. It also has some white diamond shaped glitters. The polish applied smoothly. I did not have any problems with it. No need for fishing for the glitters. Some glitter settled at the bottom in one of the pictures but nothing a little shake cant fit. Even without shaking I was able to get a decent amount of glitter. I applied 3 coats and topped it off with a top coat. I love her cute heart shaped labels! So now for the pictures!


 The green polish is called My Secret Garden. I will post pictures of this swatch soon




So there you have it! You can purchase these polishes and more on her ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Voodoo-Vixen-by-Love-that-Lacquer-/261186768435?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccff1ce33
