Beauty Tips for Women: Retro Cat Manicure

Posted on January 30, 2014 by admin

For this manicure I was inspired by Jior Couture Cat’s Corn-er polish from their Halloween 2013 collection. Warning this post is picture intensive.

Cat’s Corn-er polish is a holographic thermal chocolate brown polish that is also candy corn scented. Application was smooth and the smell made me crave candy. I tried my best to capture the shift in thermal and the holorraphic effect in pictures.

I decided to stamp a cat to play on the title Cat’s Corn-er. I choose a lovely retro cat from Pueen Cosmetics plate Pueen40. I stamped with Maybelline Bold Gold.

The cat came across better when Cat’s Corn-er is dark brown rather than the light caramel color.

This polish packs a punch. I love how it changes colors and the different looks you can get. I’m glad that I just did a simple stamp cause I didn’t want to cover up the color.

I give Cat’s Corn-er 5 brains.

Beauty Tips for Women: Chinese New Year 2014 Manicure

Posted on January 30, 2014 by admin

Happy Chinese New Year! I was inspired to try my hand at a Chinese New Year manicure when I looked at Jior Couture – Light The Festival. Light The Festival is beautiful gold polish with small glitters of green, red, pink and silver.

For the stamping portion of this manicure I used Bundle Monster BM-H15 and used Sally Hansen Rapid Red to stamp the image.

I did two coats of Light the Festival.

I then stamped the images. It was a bit difficult to stamp since I am down to nubs but I managed to get the images in.

I loved how the manicure turned out.

Beauty Tips for Women: Nicole by OPI – Am I Making Myself Claire? And Jior Couture – Coming Through Manicure

Posted on January 23, 2014 by admin

I was feeling like a purple manicure but with a bit of glitter bling. I wanted something simple because lately I have been pressed for time, so here is what I came up with.

I did two coats of Nicole by OPI – Am I Making Myself Claire? from their Modern Family collection. The color is so lovely; it is a grayish pastel lilac. The application was a bit on the streaky side.
