Black Label Nails Polish Review+Swatches

Aren't those bottles just the cutest?! These three beauties are by Black Label Nails polish by Jennifer. I was so happy when she let me watch/review for her, lol. I did not get to pick the colors, but I love them! She sent me two solids, and a glitter topper to test/review/swatch.

When I first opened my package, it was love at first sight. I absolutely love the square bottle (these are minis), and the label. The label is just the cutest! I love anything with skulls, so this is just...love. Haha!

The polishes she sent me: Sick Hearts, Supernova Champagne, Silver + Cold.

 Sick Hearts is a glitter topper with blue hearts and hexes in grey,blue and white.

I am not a big fan of glitter toppers, but I loved this one. First of all, it as hearts. I have a couple of other polishes with heart but I always have to fish them out. I don't like that! I was so happy when at the first swipe of this I had two hearts on my nails. I also really liked that the glitter was easy to spread on, no need to dab it on.

 Supernova Champagne is such a pretty duo chrome. It has a silver look in the bottle, with hints of a brown base. I don't know that this picture does the colors justice! 

This one is my favorite! Depending on which way you hold the bottle, the polish looks silver or a silvery brown (if that makes sense). The polish applied very well and I had full coverage with two coats. It was a bit streaky at first, but It was due to the weather (cold). Once it was at room temperature, it went on even and super smooth. The color shows well even in one coat, and it is easy to layer in case you want even more color.

Silver + Cold is a blue chrome color. This one also has a silver/rainbow shimmer to it in the light.

Just like Supernova Champagne, this one was super easy to apply. I, again, only, needed two thin coats to achieve complete coverage and get the color I wanted. I really liked that this polish goes on light because it makes layering much easier. I can go light or dark depending on the amount of coats I add.

Overall I give these a 10/10. I like that they feature a flat brush, and do not take ages to dry. In my opinion they are pigmented enough,and the colors are true to the bottle in two coats. Oh, and these don't have a nasty smell to them either. 

I recomment you guys go and check her polishes out! As of right now she has 10 listen on her Etsy, and let me tell you they are too cute! If you'd like to see swatcher for the other 7 polishes head on over to her Instagram!

#nailartjan-Day 16- Gradient

 (Nature is stared because I did do it, but I didn't like how it came out so I did not post it)

Hey guys! Hope you all doing well! We are now halfway through the challenge! I think I might actually finish this one, and that makes me so happy!

So, as I said above, I did not post day 13 (Nature) because I did not like it. I wanted to do a moon over two fingers, and tree shadow on the rest but that did not happen. It ended up looking so messy, and it just wasn't what I had hoped for. 

This gradient mani wasn't what I was hoping for either, but it turned out way better then my nature one. I wanted to do a water marble on my nails but that was a fail, so I opted for just a sponge to achieve a  watercolors effect. I wanted my nail to look like pretty ocean water. Do you think I achieved that? I will deffinately be doing this with different colors at a later time. I was thinking maybe in the summer I could use all neons or pastels! But we shall see.

Accent nail: Revlon-Urban, Sally Hansen- Jaded, and Sinful Colors- Aquamarine. I have Sinful Colors- Snow me White as a base for the accent nail.

The rest of the nails are two coats of Sinful Colors- Aquamarine,

Up close! I swear I don't have polish on my edges, its the light reflecting on my cuticle oil.

If you'd like to see a tutorial for how I did this, please let me know!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Polish Review

Hi guys and dolls! Today I bring you a review for Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes. I received three polishes from Influenster for reviewing purposes so I am very excited to share them with you.

If you have seen the advertising for these, you have seen that there is 7 benefits in 1 bottle. The polish consists of a base coat and top coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color,  chip resistance, and a gel shine finish. How awesome is that? Use one of these polishes and you are done! 

The card that came with these (pictured below) states that women preferred these over Revlon and Essie nail polishes for color coverage, speed of application, streak free application, the brush, and the time saved. I do agree with these statements in full. Let me tell you why:

Color coverage: The color is great. These are super pigmented and only need two coats to have full coverage. Jaded was the only polish that applied very sheer, but with the second coat I had full coverage. 

Speed of application: Because these colors are greatly pigmented, application is fast! I did three strokes per coat and it was done. Usually with other polishes I need about 6 or more stokes to achieve a even and pigmented  coat.

Streak free application: The polishes went on very smooth on the first coat. I had no trouble with it being even. Absolutely no streak what so ever.

Brush: The brush in these polishes is great! These polishes have a flat brush, which helps make application so much easier and faster. If you've ever had a flat brush polish you know that it is the best!

Time saved: I don't think you really save too much time with these, but you do shave a couple minutes off doing your nails. Because this polish is pigmented, and the brush is flat, you finish much faster. In my opinion drying time is still the same.

 Jaded (540)

Two coats, flash. The picture is as true to the color as I could get it. This is such a pretty turquoise color. Unlike other turquoise color I have tried, this one was not streaky. 

 Pat on the Black (510)

Two coats, flash. This color is really dark in person. Unfortunately, my camera would not capture it in its true beauty. This is a deep purple, almost black.

Red My Lips (470)

Two coats, flash. As true to color as I could get it. This is a bright red with a hint of pink while still wet. It dried to a very beautiful shade of red.

I love that these apply thick. It is not globby or anything, just thick. It goes on smooth, and its just amazing. Have you tried these before? If so, what are your thoughts. I know I will definitely be purchasing some more!

#nailartjan- Day 11- Pastel Blue

Hey ! So today I bring you the mani I did for day 11 of @CaliforniaNails Instagram challenge. The color/theme for today was pastel blue, unfortunately I don't have a really good pastel blue nail polish. The only one I have is by N.Y.C and it very streaky and super sheer. I used about 6 coats to get the coverage that I wanted! It ended up being a bit streaky still, but I am glad that a top coat will work wonders and smooth out any imperfections.
In the end I loved this mani. The softness and shimmer of the polish reminded me of Cinderella. I ended up using small blue heart rhinestones to add a bit of a sparkle. All in all these are very simple, but I think they would be cute for a princess party or for my nieces nails.

No flash.

I used N.Y.C nail polish in Cashmere Cream (#124A)

Flash.

So what do you think? Does it remind you of Cinderella?

Before I forget, please excuse my horrible clean up! I ran out of acetone taking off the glitter mani I had before. I was left using alcohol and  my nail brush. :(

Hope you liked these! And hey, its not too late to take part in this fun challenge!

-Until next time! <3

#nailartjan- Day 09- Pattern

Hi guys! So today, again a day late, i bring you my design for this months nail art challenge. Day 9 in pattern. Yesterday I did not have much time do think of anything so I went for something simple. I actually did two different patterns. I was able to do this because I only removed the accent nail from Day 6's disaster. I decided to leave them because I didn't have much time to remove all the glitter, and I had really liked the color combination. For my first design I made a simple cheetah print. I liked it, but thought it was a bit to simple, so I decided to make a few flowers for an accent nail and stamp the rest with a polka design.

------------------------------------------

The first pattern/print I did. For this one I used two Rimmel London Lasting Finishing Pro colors in Hot Cocoa, and Steel Gray.

Color Zone- No Name ( Bought this in a Instagram destash)

Santee- White

Santee-Modern Purple

Salon Perfect- Loopy Lime

I used the soft lavender for the stamping, and I love it! I really think this makes it look more soft and dainty. 

For the polka dots I used a Bumdle Monster plate (#BM19).

Up close- Unfortunately right when I was stamping I noticed I had a bit of polish coming off by my cuticle. I decided to just leave it alone as I did not want to add another coat of glitter. Sorry!

I hhope you find this as cute as I did, haha!

Until next time! <33

#nailartjan- Day 06- Sparkles

So for this month I decided to do a nail art challenge by @CaliforniaNails on Instagram. I really liked this one from all the other ones I had seen because this one does not require you to do your nails everyday.  

For day 06, the challenge was to do sparkles. 

I had a brand new Candies nail polish from Christmas so I really wanted to use that. 

As a base coat, I used a Milani nail polish. I really liked the pairing of these two. They really compliment each other well. 

I still though that my nails needed more sparkle, so I decided to attempt a glitter placement for my accent nail. I choose a gold glitter to contrast the silver. That was a big mistake! Not only did the glitters bleed the color on to my nail, they also shifted. Needless to say I am very sad with the way this turned out. I will deffinetely be attempting this soon. 

Can you see the bleeding on the gold? It kinda looks like hidden shells in the sand here..which I kinda like. Haha.

If you are joining this challenge, let me know! I would love to see what you guys come up with! 

Until next time! <3
