Beauty Tips for Women: Retro Cat Manicure

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. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 333

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. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 341

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. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 349

I give Cat’s Corn-er 5 brains.

Beauty Tips for Women: Chinese New Year 2014 Manicure

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. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 325

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

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.

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

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.

To add the bling, I added a coat of Jior Couture – Coming Through.  Coming Through is a blue, purple, and bronze color glitters in a clear polish.
