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.

I decided that with this manicure I would use L’Oreal nail stickers in Chateau You Go. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 310

I did two coats of Hey Girl.  I had no issues with the formula and the color is divine.  I applied Color Club Speedy top coat to seal the manicure.

I then applied the L’Oreal nail stickers.  You would think this would be simple but it was not.  It was difficult to get a smooth application of the sticker.  My nail bed is very curved and I was getting a lot of bumps, so it took a lot of pressing; but the effect is beautiful.  Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 314Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 315

Beauty Tips for Women: Valentine Manicure using Jior Couture – Drumline

It may only be January but Valentine manicures have already started to pop up on the web.  I couldn’t resist doing one myself.

I decided to use Jior Couture Drumline for this Valentine theme manicure.  Drumline is a red jelly polish with red and silver glitter.  Once I started applying the polish it seemed like a pinkish-red on my skin tone.  The formula was fine but I had difficulty getting the glitters out.  It was frustrating to see all that gorgeous glitter sticking to the side of the bottle and not be able to get at it.  It also didn’t help that I was dealing with a mini bottle, which just added to the difficult of fishing out the glitter.

For the stamping part of this manicure I used Pueen plate 43.  Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 302

I started off with two coats of Drumline.  Once dried, I stamped my ring finger with Sally Hansen Rapid Red and the rest of my fingers with Konad White.  I made sure to let the image dry before moving on.  I added two more coats of Drumline and topped it with Color Club Speedy top coat.

I liked the over all effect although I’m not sure what it is called; I guess you can say it’s a jelly stamp sandwich manicure … lol …

I give Drumline three brains.  I found the color lovely but couldn’t get over the issues with the glitter.
