Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

Today I have swatches of 4 Cirque Colors polishes! I received these in a Secret Santa gift at Christmas time and I didn't want to wait toooo long to wear these beauties! Let's get to the swatches!

Morganite is a beautiful peachy pink with holographic micro flakies. Ugh this is SO SO gorgeous in person. The holographic flakies catch the light beautifully. This was 2 coats! It had a great formula!

Garnet is a burgundy red with holographic flakies. Another fantastic formula on this polish and it covered completely in 2 coats.

Paraiba is a bright teal green with silver holographic flakies. This is STUNNING in person. Completely mesmerizing. Another amazing formula, opaque in 2 coats.

Tanzanite is an indigo with holographic flakes. Another gorgeous color, even more so in person and another great formula. This was 2 coats but it was so so close to being opaque in 1 coat.

So wow, if you haven't picked any of these polishes up yet, I highly suggest them. They were a pleasure to apply and gorgeous to wear!

Round 31 of Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

We've come to the last installment of Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas for 2016! And uhhhh we may have forgotten to post this earlier so let's be honest, I'm phoning it in for this round LOL!!

We went with a simple glitter and dotticure, perfect for NYE. The polishes I used were Wet n Wild Black Creme, Cirque Never Nude, Halcyon, and Helios.

I applied 2 coats of Wet n Wild Black Creme to my nails, except for the middle nail, which was dressed in 2 coats of Cirque Helios. Then I used Cirque Never Nude and Halcyon for my dots on my ring finger. At first, I wasn't sure about the gold with the nude and rose gold but I really liked it together!

Happy New Year! And be sure to check out Alaina's BTN!

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By Your Phone Case

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today we are doing manicures inspired by our phone cases. I have a lovely pale rose gold case but since I just did a rose gold mani not too long ago, I didn't want to do one so similar. So I pulled out this beautiful polish from Fair Maiden Polish, Vintage Romance. I only have a few Fair Maiden Polishes but thus far, they've all had fantastic formulas and this was no different. 

I used 2 coats here. 

Be sure to check out the other Twinsies Phone case inspired manicures!

Orly Mulholland Collection for Fall 2016!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the 6 piece collection from Orly for fall 2016, called Mulholland. I know I've mentioned before that ever since Orly rebranded, I've been consistently impressed with their collections. It's so nice to see 6 piece collections. Larger collections seem overwhelming to me, lol.

Mansion Lane is a dark grey creme. This is 2 coats, plus topcoat. A nice formula, no pooling or running. It was the tiniest bit thin but that is just based on my preference for polishes.

Cahuenga Pass is a tomato red jelly. This is 3 coats plus topcoat. I don't think this is a very fall like color, but I LOVE it! Great formula, as well!

Hillside Hideout is a deep mauve with gold shimmer. This was another with a great formula and opaque in 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Million Dollar Views is a golden coppery color with gold glitter. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat. Now, I know what you're thinking: doesn't this look exactly like Orly's Rage? I thought the same but no, Rage is more pink and has no glitter. I even took a comparison swatch for you!

MDV on the index and ring finger, Rage on the middle and pinky. They look even more different in person and both are completely lovely.

Party In The Hills is a black and gold microglitter in a clear (or possibly slightly tinted base). 3 coats, plus topcoat. The glitter wasn't quite as dense as I prefer for glitters but again, that's just my preference.

Meet Me At Mulholland is a brown shimmer with orange and purple flakies. This is 3 coats plus topcoat.

What's your favorite from this collection? I personally love Cahuenga Pass and Party in the Hills!

Salon Perfect Rose Gold Digger

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have a Salon Perfect polish that I spotted in Walmart last week. I don't often go to Walmart but I've been making a few trips there lately and of course I had to stop at the beauty aisles! I spotted this polish and just plopped it right into my shopping cart, lol.

Rose Gold Digger is a rose and gold glitter. This covered in two coats and while I didn't let it dry too much before I applied my topcoat, I feel like this could be a texture. Regardless, it's lovely and had a nice formula! Densely packed glitters, for sure.

Cirque Halcyon

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have Cirque Halcyon, probably just the most amazing rose gold polish that's ever existed.

Uhmmmmm yeah. I don't even know what else to say about this because it's perfect, almost a one coater. I did two plus topcoat. So reflective and bright and rosy and beautiful!! I don't think this is available any longer which is unfortunate but if you ever come across this, seriously buy it! So gorgeous!

Check my instagram later today to see what I added on top of this to make it really ridiculous and extra fantastical!

Orly Rage and Pink Week!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

For the last day of Pink Week, I wanted to recreate this look using some of my favorite Orly polishes.

I don't get nail vinyls with multiple layers. It doesn't help that I do my nails at night and am just not awake enough to comprehend things like... layering and stuff.

The polishes that I used: (all from Orly)
Decades of Dysfunction
Rage
Mirrorball

The heart looks terrible but I don't have a white Orly and you know how I am about using the same brand for my nail art, lol! But ultimately I do like this look and I LOVE Rage and Mirrorball together. Soooo pretty!

Did you enjoy a full week of nail art?? I feel so proud that I complete an entire week with a little bit of nail art in each post! Whoo!

What's your plan for Valentine's Day nails?

Round 19 Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another Bestie Twin Nails with my buddy Alain from The Little Canvas. You know the drill: let's get to the good stuff.

For this prompt, I chose a manicure by Sensationails4U on Instagram. Super festive!

I started with ILNP Cherry Luxe (2 coats), on my index, middle and pinky nails. Then 2 coats of ILNP Juliette (which is gorgeous!!). For my Christmas tree, I used Lucky One and Limelight, with Iconic for the little tree stump. Finally, I added a green nail stud to the top of the tree!

Whatchu think? I'm not usually so festive with my nails, lol!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I busted out some Zoya's for this weeks prompt, which is Soft & Feminine. I used Zoya Hermina and Seraphina so check it out!

First, Hermina on it's own. This is two coats and please excuse the wretched cuticles. Yikes.

Then one coat of Seraphina.

So yeah.. Soft and feminine. I think this qualifies, right?

Check out the other twinsies for their soft and feminine manicures!
