Beauty Tips for Women: National Pink Day Manicure

Posted on June 24, 2014 by admin

June 23rd is National Pink Day, so to celebrate the day I did a pink manicure. I’m posting it a day late but still wanted to share.

I started off with two coats of Zoya Michelle and two coats of Milani White On The Spot and topped it off with Seche Vite.

I stamped the image from Cheeky Jumbo Plate A. I have had this plate for a bit and this was my first time using it. I had such problems picking up the images. I kept getting a lot of bold spots, which was very frustrating. I tried several stampers and still had the same results.

After stamping the image I had to go back and fill in the bold spots as best I could.

Over all I was happy how the manicure came out. Happy National Pink Day!

Beauty Tips for Women: SinfulShine – Alfresco

Posted on May 7, 2014 by admin

Here is a beauty product review of the polish color Alfresco from the SinfulShine with Gel Tech line from SinfulColors.

Alfresco is a blue cream color that seems to have hints of purple in it depending on lighting. The formula was great and only used two coats for full coverage. I totally forgot to take pictures prior to stamping. I used plate Pueen26 from Pueen Love Elements collection. I used Konad white to stamp the image.

Overall I love how this manicure came out. In general I think that SinfulColors polishes are good quality and affordably priced.

I give SinfulShine – Alfresco 5 brains.

Beauty Tips for Women: Reptile Scales Manicure

Posted on April 3, 2014 by admin

Season 4 of Game of Thrones is about to start and to celebrate I tried my hand at doing a reptile scales style manicure. My goal was to try and make it look dragonish.

I started off with one coat of Daphine Polish – Blue Spruce. I did a gradient using Daphine Polish – The Hessian. The Hessian is a holographic black polish but it is not thick so it required a couple of passes before I got it dark. It certainly wasn’t the best choice to get the effect I wanted but I was committed to the look. I used Mash plate Mash-39 that has a nice scale image and stamped it with Konad black.
