Grave Stones

Hi bloggers!

The Halloween nails continue with grave stone nails. I used a wet Q-tip to create this look similar to my glitter gradient and galaxy nail designs. I also used come crackle polishes as well. The base coat I used was Dove from Zoya and the crackle I used was Sally Hansen Fractured Foil Crackle Overcoat. The colors used to with the wet Q-tip where Avocado from Love & Beauty and Sephora by OPI A Leg-Warmer. The black detail is China Glaze Liquid Leather and the green grass is China Glaze Jolly Holly.

I hope you guys have liked our Halloween posts and given them a shot!

Fun With Cracks

Hi bloggers!

As I've stated before, I love glitter polishes and I love crackle polishes and the two together is just wonderful but as more and more companies are coming out with crackle/shatter polishes and more and more people are using it, just having a crackle top coat is getting a little boring so I decided to spice it up a bit.

The base coat I used was Sparkle Teal Sunrise by OPI, a absolute beautiful glitter!

Next instead of just covering my whole nail with the crackle polish, I tapped off parts of my nails so I tapped them of diagonally with Fractured Foil Crackle Overcoat by Sally Hansen. I also used Lightning Bolt Crackle by China Glaze on my ring fingers that I tapped off down the middle, so my ring fingers had two different crackles going in two different directions. I wasn't crazy about the color combination once it was on my nails but I think with the right colors it would have turned out a lot better!

Hope you enjoyed!

Zoya Caitlin

Hi bloggers!


Here is just a quick post of a simple look but I absolutely loved these two together! Zoya Caitlin and Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antiqued Gold.

I almost always do an accent nail anymore. I just think they make any manicure a little more interesting but aren't always necessary if there is a lot already going on. Like I said, just a simple one today, hope you enjoyed!

Semi-inspired 4th of July nails

Hi bloggers!


I did this manicure not thinking about it being a 4th of July look but it kind of turned out that way. I started out with a Love & Beauty polish with super chunky glitter. 

I had planned on only using this glitter but to get as much glitter as I wanted, I would have had to do at least five coats and I just didn't want to take the time to do that so I grabbed a finer glitter polish called Kaleidoscope from Wet N Wild. 

Finally on top of that, I added a crackle. Sally Hansen's Cherry Smash Crackle Overcoat. 

I really liked how this turned out but it was a pain to get off since the first glitter was soo chunky! I used the foil method to try and take it off but didn't have the patience to wait for it to really work so I had to scrub some to get it all off but oh well. 

Hope everyone has a good Fourth of July and if you don't live in the United States, then I hope you just have a good good in general!

Glittery Cracked Goodness!

Hi bloggers!

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days! Brielle and I have both had a pretty busy weekend, as will the next two weekends be for the both of us so bear with us please!

I tried out two of the nail polishes I posted about in my previous haul post. I picked Finger Paints in Laugh My Art Off and Sally Hansen Crackled Overcoat in Fracture Foil. I'm completely in love with glitter polishes and crackle ones as well so I got the best of both worlds with this one!

Close up of the glittery goodness! Excuse the slight messy edges, they weren't cleaned up yet! 

 

And the last one with the crackle overcoat. I loved, loved, loved how this turned out! To make things even better, it got the stamp of approval from my boyfriend :) he said it looked like I could "shoot lightening bolts out of my nails or something sweet" lol

I really liked the Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat. After being slightly disappointed in the China Glaze Crackle Glaze and it's crackling ability, I was a little hesitant with this one. OPI's Shattered polishes still rank #1 for me when it comes to crackle polishes I've tried but so far, Sally Hansen is a close second. 

Hope everyone has had a good start to their week!!
