Flowers & Lace

Hello to all. Today I have a nail art I did a few months ago to share with you guys.The base is Essie cascade cool, a delicate, light pink leaning toward lavender. Application was good nothing to brag about but notify to complain about either. It also dried fairly quickly, as most of my Essie polishes do. Stamping is done using Pueen love elements plate # 27. This mani was one of my first adventures in stamping. I still suck at positioning the stamp and some days depending on the humidity and other factors I can't lift a stamp to save my life. I think some of it is crappy scraping, lol. If that makes any sense. I hope you all enjoyed this nail art as I enjoyed doing it for you. As always thanks for viewing! Brooke

Zoya Pixiedust Arabella

Hello to all on this manic Monday! I recently discovered Ulta Beauty. I was ordering my Zoya polishes from Amazon and waiting weeks to get them, ugh. I would much rather buy polish in person as opposed to the internet. Im extremely impatient and when I buy something I want to be able to take it home and use it right away. Ulta is a polish addicts dream, or husbands nightmare, lol.
   Today I have done a lovely textured nail art using a stamp from my Hollywood Nail plates.Lets start by talking about the textured base for this nail art, Zoya Pixiedust in Arabella. I would describe Arabella as a matte fushia pink leaning towards purple with sparkling glitter and a sugar-like texture. They sale for $9 USD and can be found at www. Zoya.com. To be honest I wasn't in love with this one until I added afew white stamps which made the polish take on more of a purple appearance. The formula was good for a textured polish. Most tend to be thick with uneven coverge but not this one. It applied well. I probably could have worn it with one coat but I like to build up to that sugary look which is hard to achieve with only one coat. Overall I am in love with all Zoya's Pixiedust collections!

Glitter Gradient

China Glaze Hologlam in Infrared & LA Girl in Explosion

Hello to all! Today I have done a super easy glitter gradient, great for beginners. I love holographic polishes! Formula was good, not bad for streaking as a lot of holographics do.  Two coats of Infrared and two coats of Explosion. The LA Girl explosion was a great glitter polish. I think it would look lovely on an accent nail or maybe even used by itself as a full mani glitter bomb.

 

Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy! Questions or comments, feel free to leave below and ill get back to ya as soon as possible. Thanks. Hope you have a beautiful day!
