Pastel Matte Galaxy Nails

Hey guys,

So sorry I have not been posting much lately, I am going to really try to get some stuff up really soon!  Today I have some nail art inspired by The Nailasaurus yet again, she just has the cutest nail designs I am a little obsessed with her nails at the moment.  She posted a Pastel Galaxy Tutorial about a week ago and I was I knew I had to recreate this mani.  I like the finished design but I was terrible at painting the little stars so please forgive me for how horrible they look.  I hope you enjoy!


Colors used:  Essie Navigate Her (base), China Glaze Lemon Fizz, OPI Do You Lilac It?, China Glaze For Audrey, Zoya Charla, China Glaze Fast Track, white acrylic paint, and Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love

New Hard Candy Glitters

Hey guys,

On a recent trip to my WalMart I found a nice untouched display of the new Hard Candy polishes!  Once I saw them in person I ended up only getting two of them.  I did like some of the others but I only got the ones I had really wanted originally.  I got Black Tie Optional and Party Central.  I was really excited for these two because the remind me of indie glitters and I love the manistream companies are really paying attention to what is popular right now. 

 

 

 

 

Black Tie Optional, this one is similar to Lynnderella Connect the Dots or Lush Lacquer Salt N Peppa minus the shimmery base.  It applied really nicely and I didn't have to fish for some of the larger glitters.  This is Black Tie Optional over China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On

 

 

 

 

Party Central, this glitter has mix of copper, blue, purple and white glitter.  I love this one because of the white glitter, it is nice surprise to add into the mix.  I did have to fish some of the larger white glitters out of the bottle for this one it also was a little bit harder to apply so I had to use dabbing motions to get this one on the nail evenly. This is Party Central over China Glaze Fancy Pants

 

 

Birthday Nails

Hey guys,

My moms Birthday is today so I decided to do a fun mani for it.  I wanted glitter obviously and I have been really wanting to try a darker base with a lighter glitter.  I also wanted to mattify it because I love the way glitter looks with matte top coat!

I used China Glaze Stone Cold, Lush Lacquer Slumber Party, and Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love top coat

 

 

 

 

 

Poison Ivy

Oh goodness this mani is frickin awesome!  I can't even stand it, it looks so glowy and gorgeous.  I wanted to try Wet N Wild's Poison Ivy again because the first time I wore it I did a horrible job of applying it and I couldn't get any good pics of it.  So this time around I super nubbinized my nails and slapped it on being extra careful to not flood my cuticles, this one is really hard to clean up if you get it on your skin.  I felt like it needed a little something else so I applied a couple of coats of Pure Ice Heart Breaker over it.  Heart Breaker made this polish look insane.  After looking at it I wanted to try it with a matte top coat so I did that as well haha.  Hope you enjoy!



I used Wet N Wild Poison Ivy, Pure Ice Heart Breaker and in the last two pics Hard Candy Matte-Ly In Love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blurry so you can see how glowy it is
