Orly - Rococoa a-go-go

 Hi cuties!

I hope you're having a great morning/day/evening depending on your location :) I'm watching Star Trek and drinking homemade watermelon juice. 

I realised that I almost never post mainstream brands. I'm going to try to change that because I love OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Orly among other brands. Today The mainstream brand I'm showing you today is Orly. The polish is called Rococoa a-go-go. I love Orlys bottles, the cap is rubberised and is easy to open even if the cap is dried stuck. I also like that they are 18ml, because that means that I don't need to buy back-ups. 

Rococoa a-go-go looks like a duo chrome polish in the bottle but when applied on the nail the shift is  not noticeable. It's still a really pretty colour though. It's packed with micro flakes and glitters. It's a dark magenta shade and I adore it. It looked kind of sheer in the bottle so I layered it over a black creme. What do you guys think of it? Yay or nay? :) 

Until next time, take care!

Valentine's day contest

Hey cuticle cuties!

So I have realised that not all of you love Doctor Who as much as I do. Teherfore I decided to post a non DW post :) I was on IG a couple of hours ago and saw that Polish alcoholic is having a valentine's day contest together with Luchessa. I though it would be fun to participate, and so should you guys :) 

I've used the following polishes:

Pop Culture Cosmetics: Pink drink, Red carpet and Magical valentine , CbL - Leather & Lace, Mavala - London, Orly - Beach cruiser and Nordic cap - NP13 (basic white). 

From index to pinkie, this is how I did the manicure.

My index finger is a two coloured ombre. Closest to the cuticle I have Red carpet and at the free edge I have Pink drink. I blended the two colours by slightly overlapping them. With the help of an orange stick I placed out red and pink sequins in a relatively straight line. 

On my middle finger I started of with a white base, then I placed red caviar beads as a heart shape and added pink caviar beads in it. I didn't feel completely satisfied so I applied my CbL holo TC around the heart. 

I love glitter gradients so that was pretty much a must-have for this mani. As base I used a hot pink and when it was dry I dabbed on the valentine glitter.

I thought I needed more hearts so I decided to give my pinkie some love. Starting of with a white base I used a dotting tool to create a big red heart. Around it I added dots in different pinks and reds. Finally I placed a pearly white heart glitter in the middle of the red heart.  

That's all for now :) I hope you enjoy the pictures.

This picture is taken with flash so you can se the holo TC in action :)

Until next time, take care!
