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.

Beauty Tips for Women: Matte French Manicure

Posted on October 12, 2013 by admin

I love French manicures, so when I saw the matte French manicure I had to try it. Recently I had picked up Salon Perfect Matte Fx but hadn’t used it and thought it would be perfect to try this technique.

So I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris and two coats of Orly Unlawful on my ring finger.

I waited until my nails were dry to apply Matte Fx. I totally forgot to take a picture of this step. Again waited for the nails to dry completely. This using clear top coat did the French manicure line. Very easy and it came out nice.

My sister really liked the manicure and wanted a pedicure. I recreated the look for her and it came out great. It was hard to get a good picture of the pedicure because of her awesome shoes.

Over all I found the technique to be very easy and I liked the way the matte French manicure came out. I would definitely recommend Salon Perfect Matte Fx. It performed well and the matte effect came out great.
