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.

Beauty Tips for Women: Taupe Manicure

Posted on September 26, 2013 by admin

Looking for a nice taupe color then let me suggest Nicole OPI – My Jay Or The Highway! from their Modern Family collection. I saw this polish in the store and it didn’t call to me at all until I saw a manicure using the color and just fell in love with it.

Here is my simple and quick manicure using this polish.

My Jay Or The Highway! is a lovely cream taupe/nude color. The formula was very nice. It applied very smoothly and with two coats reached opacity. For my ring finger I decided to using Color Club – Beyond. Beyond is an amazing black holographic polish. I used two coats. I tried to capture the holographic effect put simply couldn’t do it justice.

Although I liked the manicure just fine with the accent finger I wanted to add something so I decided to try my hand at a french tip using Beyond. I did it freehand and it didn’t come out to bad. But I defiantly have to work on my freehand technique.
