Beauty Tips for Women: purple “I love nail polish” manicure

Posted on November 7, 2013 by admin

I wanted to share a simple manicure that expresses my love for nail polish. I couldn’t resist the corny line, but it just fits with the plate from Cheeky CH40. I really like the designs on this plate.

To start off this manicure, I did two coats of Wet n Wild Through the Grapevine on all my fingers except for my ring finger which I used just one coat. Over the ring finger I added Salon Perfect Shocked. Using Sally Hansen Brisk Blue I stamped one of the I love polish images from the Cheeky CH40 plate. I topped everything off with Poshe.

I like how this manicure came out; it is a simple and fast manicure. I like how the color combination worked out.

Beauty Tips for Women: Starrily – Candy Shop Halloween Manicure

Posted on October 24, 2013 by admin

I wanted to share a Halloween manicure I did using Starrily Candy Shop. I let the name and colors influence how this Halloween manicure would turn out.

Candy Shop is a clear base glitter polish loaded with hearts, stripes, dots, hexagons, and neons. I’m sure I missed a shape since it is super packed with a variety of glitter shapes. As you can see the glitter colors pop and it’s just a super fun polish.
I started off by painting my nails with some of the colors found in Candy Shop. I used Sally Hansen Just In Lime! on my thumb, Sally Hansen Fast Fuchsia on my index finger, Sally Hansen Brisk Blue on my middle finger, Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris on my ring finger, and Sally Hansen Rapid Red on my pinky. I did two coats of each and totally forgot to take a picture of this step. The stamping plates I used are from Bundle Monster BM-305 and BM-H07. To stamp the images I used Konad black polish.
My ringer finger got the full coverage of Candy Shop and it only took one coat. It applied like a dream and since the polish is so packed with glitter you don’t have to fish around to get any of the large pieces. I simply love how Candy Shop looks over black. After stamping everything I applied Poshe top coat.

I could not resist Halloween Shrunken Head Shots.

I guess color wise it is not your traditional Halloween colors but it works.

Beauty Tips for Women: Starrily – Razzle Dazzle Manicure

Posted on October 15, 2013 by admin

I had the recent luck to have won a contest hosted by the awesome beauty blogger Love for Lacquer and sponsored by Starrily. I received two lovely polishes, one of which I’ll be showing you today. Razzle Dazzle is a multi-colored glitter packed polish in a clear base.

I started off with two coats of China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint. Starrily recommends to “shake or roll bottle before using” and suggests to get those larger glitter pieces to “apply using a dab motion to pick out the glitters”; great advice, which I used in applying Razzle Dazzle. I only did one coat and that was sufficient to get coverage. Then applied Poshe top coat to finish this simple and eye catching manicure.

This is a beautiful glitter polish that applies like a dream. I would highly recommend it. It adds a beautiful pop of color to any manicure. I give Razzle Dazzle 5 brains.
