RAINBOW LEOPARD

Who doesn't like leopard prints?  I love them but I don't have that bold personality to  pull it off, you have to have a little attitude to go with it right!  So I don't usually do those much in my mani, but every now and then I hear the animal in my calling so I have to let it out, and do it in style too.

I think gradient is the best way to spice up your nails.  

Anywho, Jessie from @jessiedoesnails recently had a birthday and again a bunch of us nail crazies wanted to show her some love by recreating some of her amazing manis.  I picked the rainbow leopard prints that Jessie did a while ago.  

How amazing looking is this! Isn't it eye catching?  

Boii Cosmetics came out with a new neons line and they are fabulous.  You can check out her store here

I have used a lot of Monique's products and they are just as good as OPI, Essie, or Chinaglaze from any drug stores.  She also has latex glue (a barrier that you put on your skin to protect it from the mess of doing gradients or watermarbling) fro a reasonable price.  

Here is a closer look.  

Sadly I accidently deleted the video from my camera so no video to show how I did this.  Yes I kicked myself for it.  

As always thanks for stopping by.

GLAM POLISH

Hi guys, I have some reviews to share with you today.  Glam Polished contacted me and wanted me to swatch a few polishes for them.  I've seen their polishes around on IG and it looks great, but I have never tried it out or ordered any.  One of the main reason I have ordered from them or any other Indie polishes is that we're saving every penny to take out family to Hawaii this Summer.  So I was super excited to try out their polishes.  Well, I wasn't disappointed.  The polishes are great and the formulas are perfection!

The King Collection is a tribute to the King of Rock and Roll...Elvis Presley himself

There are nine polishes in all but I got to try out four.

Can’t Help Falling In Love - Royal Blue scattered holo with holographic microfalkies and shimmering glass flecks. 

A very shallow depth of field so show the sparkles from this baby.

  

Viva Las Vegas - Blingy Rainbow Holographic hex and microglitter mix in a holographic base

 A party in a polish

If I Can Dream - Off White Crelly Holographic with ultra holo glitter.

 A good top coat really brings out the spakles

Always On My Mind - Cadillac Pink Crelly Holographic with ultra holo glitter.

 This is my absolute favorite.  I'm wearing this right now, in fact I've been wearing it the last couple of days.  That is unusual for me since I change polishes everyday.

As always thank you for stopping by.

DIRTY NEONS COLLECTION

I don't usually like dirty things but these Dirty Neons from Nativewarpaints makes getting dirty fun.  

These polishes were made for watermarbing and if you watermarble you know that finding polishes that spreads in the water can be a challenge.  I was sent these bad babies to try out and I'm in love.  I've played around with them so much last week that I've used 1/8 of the bottle.  That doesn't sound like much but I have polishes that I've haven't use that much in the drawers.  

Here they are

 There are 6 polishes in the collection.  You can preorder them midnight on April 22nd.  Preorder will end at 11:59pm April 30th.

 This is Plutonium a mute neon teal with pink shimmer

This one is purple leaning, muted, neon pink, with turquoise shimmer. 

 Radioactive is a muted red neon with orange/gold shimmer.

Nuclear a muted neon orange with green shimmer.

 Fallout a muted yellow neon with blue shimmer

Uranium a muted neon green with orange shimmer. 

If you love polishes and love to watermarble or even want to try it out give these babies a try.  

Thanks for reading.  Have a great day!

TEXAS BLUEBONNET

If you live in TX you know what a beautiful sight it is right now.  The freeway and highways are filled with bluebonnet and other wild flowers, the sight is just breath taking.  I seriously will drive myself off the road because I keep looking at the flowers and not the road. 

FLORAL/PETAL WATERMARBLING

Petal/Floral Watermarble

Watermarbling a technique that  every nail artist wants to master.  It is a tricky little creature that has to be tamed every time.  Your water and polishes have to be the room temperature and you can be in any drafty places (learned that first hand).  My nail station is under a vent so when the AC or Heater kicks in my WM goes south.  So basically when I'm WM I'm either extremely hot or extremely cold.  In TX we never know what kind of weather we are getting.

There are so many techniques to WM and this happens to be the most liked and most desired to accomplished.

 It is a little time consuming but the results are so rewarding.  It's like you accomplished something that not many people can do.
