Beauty Tips for Women: China Glaze Bling It On Swatch & OPI Glitter Off Base Coat test

Sharing a swatch of China Glaze Bling It On.  My nails are nubs so pardon the swatch.  I used one coat of Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris and then applied Bling It On.   It was a bit difficult to work with but that is normal for glitter polish.

As my base coat I tried the OPI Glitter Off Base Coat.  It worked great. Well worth it if you swatch a lot and do not want to deal with acetone.

Beauty Tips for Women: Kindergarten Christmas Party Manicure

My 5 year old daughter wanted her nails done for her Christmas kindergarten party. She was very specific about what she wanted; red nails with an accent nail in white full of glitter, snowman and Santa.

She went about selecting the colors for her manicure:
Orly – Torrid
Salon Perfect – Sugar Cube
Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer – St. Nick’s Sweet Treats
Fing’rs Holiday Nail Art Decals #31038

Did one coat of Torrid and one coat of Sugar Cube.Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 492Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 493

Beauty Tips for Women: Happy National Chocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day is on October 28th, so to celebrate the occasion I did a manicure.

For this manicure I used Nicole by OPI Promises In The Dark and Nicole by OPI Carrie’d Away.

I did two coats of Promises In The Dark.  I found this formula a bit problematic, very streaky.  For Carrie’d Away, I did three coats.

A simple manicure that reminded me of the Hershey’s golden kisses with almonds, which are my favorite.
