Aussie Nails Monday 18/2 - Rainbow - (China Glaze DV8)

Hey guys! It's Aussie Nails Monday again!

Today is sooo hot. It's like 40 degrees (Celsius) and I don't feel like doing any nail art, so I decided to show you a swatch of a holographic polish (which gives a rainbow effect) that I had in my untrieds basket.

This is China Glaze DV8 from the HTF (hard to find), discontinued OMG collection! :) I got it almost 2 months ago and haven't tried it yet?!?! I know I'm crazy.

DV8 is a really beautiful teal holographic.

Photos show 2 coats of DV8 with no topcoat.

Topcoat dulls the holo effect in the OMG collection so I would not recommend using a top coat with them.

DV8 in the shade

I love the China Glaze OMG collection! They dry so fast and the formula is fab. Unfortunately, my camera's not great at picking up the holographic quality. :(

I pretty much burnt my feet when I went outside to take these photos. :/ lol! So you better enjoy them! ;)

I also made a quick swatch video of this polish in action. :D

Hope you have a lovely week. ♥

Aussie Nails Monday 11/2 - Food + Tutorial!

Hi guys! Happy Monday, even though it's almost over haha. Hope you had a nice weekend! I definitely did, it was awesome! :)
Today's Aussie Nails Monday is FOOD! :D I was so excited for this theme haha!

I did cupcake nails! :) I've done something really similar to this before but I don't think I blogged it.

Who doesn't love cupcakes?! I know I do! :D My fave cupcakes are RED VELVET, mmmmm! :)

  

Polishes used:

OPI Pink Friday

OPI Strawberry Margarita

I also used striping tape, white acrylic paint, heart rhinestones, a dotting tool and Seche Vite fast drying top coat!

Not sure if you can see it, but when editing the photos I saw that some of my fingers had some weird black smudges on them. :/ May have been some dirt from the lamp when I touched it. So, sorry about that. Haha.

Here's the video tutorial for these cute cupcake nails! :)

Check out my AUSSIE NAILS MONDAY page to see the other ladies' food manis! :)

Polka Dot Nail Tutorial

Hey guys! Just a quick post to let you know that I uploaded a new nail tutorial to my YouTube channel!

This is a tutorial for polka dots! I got a lot of questions asking about how I did my polka dots so I decided to do a video.

It's not *that great* because when I'm filming it's not so easy to see what I'm doing haha but you get the idea. :)

Hope you enjoy!

Pink Lemonade Gradient + Tutorial! - Mission Untrieds #7

Hi guys! Today I have my 7th Mission Untrieds post! Including a tutorial! :)

Sorry this is a bit photo heavy! I had a hard time choosing and narrowing my photos down LOL.

For this look I used Orly Lemonade (which is the untried, haha), OPI Pink Friday and a sponge!

This is definitely not my best gradient... The colours didn't blend together as well as I'd have liked but I hope you like it anyway.

Here's the tutorial! Hope it helps you! :)

Mission Untrieds #4: OPI - Casino Royale (+ How I Paint My Nails!)

Hi guys! I have another Mission Untrieds for you today, as well as something exciting!

OPI's Casino Royale (from the Holiday 2012 Skyfall collection) is a berry-ish maroon colour.
I always enjoy maroon colours like this, but especially for autumn and winter.
The formula on this was awesome like I find most OPIs to be. In person I thought this was super opaque but in the photos you can see some bald patches and silly cuticle shrinkage. That would be from my topcoat. Sorry about that!
Photos show 2 coats, with Seche Vite topcoat.

Sunlight

Now, the more exciting part. A video on how I paint my nails! :D In this video I cover base coats, how to paint your nails without getting it all over your skin, how to clean up if you do get it on your cuticles/skin (I'm not perfect, I do too!), topcoats and cuticle oils/creams!

I hope you enjoyed the video and it helped someone out there haha. I also want to do a more in depth nail care/manicure video including pushing back the cuticles, filing, buffing etc. :) Let me know if you would be interested in seeing that in the future!
If you have any questions (or suggestions for other videos) feel free to leave me a comment on the video or here on my blog. :)
