Beauty Tips for Women: Color Club – Eternal Beauty

Posted on by

I wanted to share a swatch of one of the amazing polishes from Color Club’s 2013 Halo Hues Collection, Eternal Beauty.

Eternal Beauty is a purple holographic polish.  I used two coats and I had no issues with the formula.  The holographic effect was amazing both indoors and outdoors.  I could not stop looking at my nails.  I did do a coat of Seche Vite and I didn’t notice that the holographic effect was lost or diminished by the topcoat.
 
If you love holo polishes and purple, this is a definite must have.

I give Color Club – Eternal Beauty 5 brains!

Beauty Tips for Women: Tropical Manicure (3)/ Moai Sunset

Posted on by

This is my third tropical manicure for the Hukilau 2013.

I came up with the idea to use Winstonia W114 plate, which has a cool Moai image on it.  I highly recommend checking out the Winstonia stamping plates.  The quality is awesome and the images are very unique.  You can find them at http://www.winstonia.com/. 

Here is the polish list used to create the look:
WnW Black Crème
Essie In The Cab-ana
Konad Black
Sally Hansen Lightening
WnW French White Crème
WnW Sunny Side Up
Seche Vite

 

My husband suggested a sunset type background, so I went with that idea.  I started off with one coat of WnW French Crème on all nails.  Next I did one coat of WnW Sunny Side Up.  Picked the largest dotting tool and with Sally Hansen Lightening made the sun shape.  Using Konad black I stamped the Moai images on my nails except for the thumb.  Using WnW Black Crème I made the land for the Moai to sit on.  Toped with Seche Vite.

Since I have more space on my thumb I wanted to add the ocean to the sunset.  For the ocean I used Essie In The Cab-ana.  I made little waves with WnW French Crème and a nail art brush.  I then stamped the Moai with Konad and used WnW Black Crème to make the land on which they sit.  Toped with Seche Vite.

I had mixed feelings about this manicure.  Close up it looked cool but from afar it looked like a mess since the detail is lost.  Just taking a picture proved challenging.  This is definitely an idea that I need to play around with more.

Beauty Tips for Women: Tropical Manicure (2)/ Sally Hansen Plum Power

Posted on by

Here is my second go at another tropical themed manicure for Hukilau.

I started off with two coats of Sally Hansen Plum Power.  This is an amazing purple that shimmers.  No issues with the formula.  Opacity was reached with one coat but for good measure I went for two.  I totally forgot to take a picture before stamping. 

I decided to stamp with Konad plate M29 using Konad white.  I love this plate.  It was the first plate I purchased.  To finish the manicure I used Seche Vite top coat.

I don’t necessarily believe that your manicure and pedicure need to match but I loved the color so much that I went ahead and did my feet.  I’m not big on feet pictures but once in a while is ok.

This was a very simple and fast manicure.
