NOTD: Nail Art with Klean Color and Sally Hansen

Hello peeps,

I haven't been doing any nail art in a while. I really haven't had time. This long weekend, I decided to have a crack at some art for my nubbins.

Here I have done a fishtail braid with Klean Colors 'Neon Aqua' and 'Neon Amethyst' and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Extreme Wear 'Celeb City'. I topped it with my, now, go to top coat combination of Essence Quick Dry Top Coat and Seche Vite.

Fish tail manis are so easy to do for eye catching nail art and I highly recommend anybody who hasn't done it, to give it a go. The colour combination possibilities are endless.

NOTD Mari Moon

Hello peeps,

Today I have done a mani with Mari Moon 'Artsy'. It is a multi-chrome polish and looks amazeballs in the bottle. I received it in a grab bag I purchased a few weeks ago. In the pics i have done 2 coats alone.

'Artsy' went onto the nail smoothly and was nearly opaque in 2 coats. I would like to see what it looks like over black and other colours.

A big downside was that it took FOREVER to dry. I am not sure if anybody else has this problem or its just me. It has been many hours since I painted my nails and they are still denting. I think I will put Seche Vite over it to recitify the problem but I like to see how a polish fares on its own.

The pic is showing the blue/purple to purple/pink/orange shift without the flash and showing the deep blue-ness with the flash.

'Artsy' is such a beautiful polish on the eyes. You can buy it from Llarowe.

P.S. Please don't mind my pinky ouchie.

NOTD - Wicked Polish 'Fairy Blood Splatter'

Hey peeps,

So, I am still sick but I decided to make my sorry butt do some polishing.

As you may remember from a previous post, I was all revved up over a Harlow & Co. restock of Wicked Polish. Well, I scored 'Drunk In Public', 'Hung Over The Rainbow' and 'Fairy Blood Splatter'. I have done a mani with the latter today.

Now, I don't know if its because I am sick or just plain OVER white bases, but I decided to go against the grain and swatch it over a blue. An unnamed BeIndulged blue from Kmart to be exact. I did 2 coats of the blue, and did one 'dabbed' coat of the 'Fairy Blood Splatter'. I then topped it with Strawbrie's inovation, Essence Quick Dry Top Coat, then one coat of Seche Vite.

'Fairy Blood Splatter' is a claer base jammed full of different sizes of pink glitter, some larger purple glitter and some gorgeous shimmer. It required a bit of dabbing to apply nicely as I mentioned. One downside is, it HAD to be turned upside down ALOT to get a decent assortment of glitter on the brush.

I purposly took a blurry pic so you could see the little shimmers.
