NOTD: Coral Glitter Ombré

Hello all!

It's August! It's also the week of finals for the last summer semester of my University. Despite the fact that I have two finals in less than 48 hours, I somehow managed to convince myself to take a "study break. It was a toss up between playing a game of League or painting my nails. I went with the latter. Will I regret this decision later in the wee hours? Possibly.

Love & Beauty's Silver, Essie's Set in Stone, Revlon's Gold Get'em, Love & Beauty's Peach.

Anyways, I've been seeing this popular trend of glitter ombré where the glitter is applied to the bottom of the nail and gradually fades towards the top. I thought I'd give it a try and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome!

I applied Revlon's Gold Get'em ontop of the glitter and it created a sort of frosty effect. It reminds me of mermaid scales! Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks for reading! <3

NOTD - Your nails, but better.

Hello lovely readers, I have another Nails of the day post to share with you all. I've recently rediscovered my love for Nude polishes. I'm actually quite surprised I've neglected them for so long given that Nude polishes are always appropriate for every season and occasion.

Revlon - Popular // Essence Nude Glam - Peach & Cream

Essence's Nude Glam in Peach & Cream is a true Peach Nude with warm undertones. This is the perfect shade of Nude for those who have warm skin tones. In fact, I would argue that it would probably flatter any skin tone! I picked up Peach & Cream under the assumption that it was a creme finish. However upon further inspection, I realized it was actually a pearl finish. I'm not usually a fan of pearl or shimmer, but I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The pearl finish is extremely subtle and adds the perfect touch to achieving that "your natural nails, but better" colour.  

I didn't have any problems with the formula and the application was a breeze. I used about 3 coats under a base coat to achieve the opaqueness in the pictures. 

On the ring fingers I have on two coats of Revlon's Popular. I've featured Revlon's Popular before in a previous NOTD entry. Unfortunately, it was apart of the batch of pictures I couldn't save from my old account. Popular is a sheer lilac pink polish with multi-sized chunks of silver glitter.

I can't wait to purchase more from Essence's Nude Glam line! I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the formula for the cheap price tag. Have any of you tried their other Nude colours? Let me know which colours I should purchase next!

Thanks for reading, until next time!

NOTD - Corals and Pastels

Hello all! I'm back to share another Nail of the Day! Originally I had wanted to update a NOTD prior to this one.. unfortunately to my dismay, my polish was ruined after a day at work. I was a receptionist for the day at a busy nail bar that required a lot of hands on work. I suppose not even a good top coat could prevent it from happening. :(

The gorgeous coral colour is Tart Deco by Essie. I'm usually not a huge fan of the Essie Formula alone, but when paired with a good base coat underneath.. the application is like a dream!

On the ring fingers, I have two polishes by Revlon called Lilac Pastelle and Popular. They are of the exact same colour, but one minus the mulit-sized chunks of silver glitter. I chose to apply Lilac Pastelle underneath Popular because I wanted the polish to go on opaque as Popular is a very sheer polish.

Revlon - Popular // Revlon - Lilac Pastelle // Essie - Tart Deco

Until next time! <3

NOTD - Galaxy Nails

Hello!

I finally accomplished the ever so popular Galaxy nails! I followed the tutorial on Christina's Blog and I think they turned out pretty well if I say so myself! :D

If you're a huge nail polish junkie like myself, Galaxy nails are a perfect way to utilize your neglected colours from your nail polish collection.

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect Galaxy print shirt but I don't like buying them from ebay just because shipping takes forever and a day. If anyone knows where I can get my hands on one, please link away!!

Let's hope I get in the habit of posting more Nails of the Day!
