I was so happy to get my hands on the Meta Collection from Cirque Colors. I used Ghost In The Machine for this manicure. Cirque Colors describes it as “a shimmery chameleon that shifts from green to blue to purple”. I certainly agree with their description. I actually find the whole collection mesmerizing. I used Born Pretty Store plate BP-L003 stamped with Rica – Whiteout.

Beauty Tips for Women: Combination Review of Sinful Shine – I’m Blushing and Essence – Let Stars Rain Down On Me! top coat
I purchased Essence Nail Art top coat in Let Stars Rain Down On Me! It claims to be a holo-glitter polish. The bottle needs to be shaken because all the glitter particles settle at the bottom. It looks very pretty, so I was hopeful that it would deliver.
I decided I wanted to pair this with Sinful Shine – I’m Blushing. This polish was horrible. I have several Sinful Shine polishes and have never experienced such horrible formula issues. It streaked and had bits of black particles in it. I did two coats and it still did not look good and I did not want to invest in more coats to fix the problem. I hoped that adding the holo-glitter top coat would help. So here is where I finish my review of Let Stars Rain Down on Me! Stars do not rain down. I applied 4 coats. With a sponge and without and this is all I got. I was not impressed at all with this top coat.
To help salvage this manicure I decided to do some stamping. 
Not crazy at all about this manicure.
I give Sinful Shine I’m Blushing, one brain. I hope that this simply was a bad batch and that others do not experience the same formula issues I did. 
I give Essence – Let Stars Rain Down On Me! top coat, zero brains. Don’t waste your money on this at all. It simply does not deliver on its name or claims. 
Beauty Tips for Women: Black & Gold Manicure
I had a request for a black and gold manicure for my sis. So we are going to show some short nails some love.
The products I used for this manicure are:
Venique – Lighten Up Ebeneezer
Wet n Wild – Ebony Hates Chris
Maybelline – Bold Gold
Nail art wheel – black rhinestones
Venique is my favorite gold glitter polish. So I don’t use up this polish up too fast, I apply a coat of Bold Gold first then Lighten Up Ebeneezer. I find this intensifies the gold more. I made the bow using the rhinestones. Super simple and sexy.
