Polish Addict Nail Color - Juliet

Juliet sent for my honest review. 

 Hi cuticle cuties!

I hope you've had a great day :) 

Today I'm showing you a wonderful polish from Polish Addict Nail Color. It's called Juliet and is a white crelly with peachy and golden glitters. The formula was great and it was completely opaque after two medium thick coats. It dried fast and shiny with the help of a fast drying tc. When I first started buying indie polish I fell in love with white polishes with glitters and it's still one of my favourite glitter-colour combinations. 

If you like this polish as much as I do, head over to Edgy Polish and get yourself a bottle. You've earned it ;) 

I have gotten a few questions about Nail Vinyls and I thought that I might answer them in this post. There are a few things that are important when using Nail Vinyls.

- Make sure that your base colour is completely dry, if not the vinyl will mess up your base colour and you will have to re-paint your nail.

- Always remove the vinyl immediately after you've applied the polish, otherwise you won't get crisp lines. 

- Apply one coat of tc and let it dry before applying your vinyl. By doing so it will be easier to clean-up if you accidentally mess up a small part of your nail vinyl pattern. 

There are so many great nail art videos on Instagram that can give you ides on how to use your vinyls, make sure to follow @teismom. You won't regret it! The colours I used for my chevron nails are Barry M - Station Road (yellow) and Kiko - 639 (orange) & 641 (pink).

Barry M - Sugar apple & OPI - In true Stefani fashion

Hey lovelies!

I'm really trying to show you more polish from mainstream brands but I suck at it lol. But today I actually managed, yay me. OPI and Barry M are two of my favourite mainstream polish brands. I have shown you In true Stefani fashion layered over another polish but never on it's own. It's a fun glitter but sadly it's not dense enough to cover completely. It does leave some VNL even after four(!) coats. Sugar apple and In true Stefani fashion looked so cute together so I decide not to let the VNL bother me. What do you think? 

When it comes to Sugar apple all I can say is WOW. It's a light blue creme and completely streak-free. The application was amazing and I only needed two coats. I love the Barry M Gelly collection. When it comes to cremes they definitely have the best polish.

That's all for now, have great evening. 

Until next time, take care!

Lots of love

International tiger day nail art

Hey lovelies!

How are you all doing? 

Today is a very important day for me. It's the International tiger day. I've been donating money to WWF and the tigers monthly for the last five years. I'm a huge animal lover and I can't stand the thought of animals being shot because of their fur, horns or bones. It is absolutely disgusting and I do what I can to help. I love all animals and I try to live my life seeing all creatures on the earth as equals. 

I would never eat my fur baby poodles Teddy and Agathon and I would never eat a cut little pig either. This is my decision and I know that not everybody have the possibility to become a vegetarian/vegan. What I hope is that some of you might consider giving an amount that is equal to two indie polishes every month to help us keep tigers alive on our beautiful planet.

Time for how I did the nail art! I used China Glaze - Stoked to be soaked as my base colour. It's a bright orange creme that covered with two thin coats. Then I used a small piece of make-up sponge and dabbed on Coconut by Barry M, Kubiss - 146 and Lime Crime - Peaches <3 creme. After that I did some stripes with a nail art brush with Liquid leather from China Glaze and 146 from Kubiss. For the accent nail I used Peaches <3 creme and did tiny tiger paws. I also did some dabbing with the other colours for the accent nail the blend in with the other nails.

That's all for now. I hope you will have a great tiger day!
Lot's of love

Lime Crime - Nail splatter

Hi cuticle cuties!

I have tried a new nail art technique today, splatter nails. It's so easy to do and really fun as well. You take a straw, dip it in nail polish and gently blow. You will get a really cool splatter effect on the nail, and nail polish bottle in my case. 

I used all Lime crime colours except Milky ways. I used Barry M - Coconut as base colour. I love how it turned out and I'm definitely doing similar design in the future. I can barley think because of the heat, this will be yet another short blog post. 

Talk to you tomorrow :) Take care!

Barry M - Passionfruit

Hey lovelies!

Time for a perfect red. Passionfruit from Barry M. Passionfruit is a neon red creme. The formula is absolutely amazing and it almost covered with one coat. It's also super shiny but I added top coat to help it dry faster. As you might know, I love Lychee from Barry M and Passionfruit is just as amazing. I really recommend the Gelly collection from Barry M. You won't be disappointed! 

I added a couple of studs from Born pretty store. I think they look great with the polish. But hey, black and white looks awesome with almost every colour. 

If you want to try Barry M you can buy them at Llarowe.

Until next time, take care!

Barry M - Lychee

Hi lovelies!

I hope that you're having a great morning/day/evening :) Today I'm showing you one of my favourite cremes. This is Lychee from Barry M. A light beige glossy creme. I bought this in London last spring and I think this might be the fourth time I use it. That's some sort of record for me lol. 

I have two coats of Lychee and one coat of SV in the pictures. The formula is great which is another reason why I love it so much. This kind of beige/nude colour is something I love to wear when I get tired of crazy holos and glitters. It's almost as if I don't have nails ^_^

Do you like wearing discrete colours like this one? Or do you prefer darker blues and greens when you need a crazy polish break?

Until next time, take care!
