#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!

#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

Dainty Digits Polish-Review

 The loot! Look at all those pretties :)

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

Hey guys and dolls! How are you today? I hope you are good and enjoying the holidays! Also, am I the only one that thinks Christmas is creeping up on us?! I swear, it seems like just yesterday we were having our Thanksgiving dinner! Any who, today I bring you a review on some pretty awesome indie polishes! These here are Dainty Digits polishes by Anetress. I am in love with all the polishes she has!  So much that it was
 kind of hard to pick and choose with ones I wanted. If i could have I would have bought all of them, no joke. I ended up getting 11; 7 full sized ones, and 4 minis (1 is missing because I gave it to my sister in law). I choose two polishes from her Galaxy  collection, the whole set from the Sun Shine City collection, the three pack mini set from the Color Morphis collection and, one from her mini polishes sets. I just cannot stress enough how much I love these! I will definitely be buying more from her in the near future! Anyways lets get started!

The polishes:

Black Hole Sparkle, direct sunlight

Black Hole Sparkle is a charcoal grey colored polish with a holo effect. Top two fingers are over black. Two coats, and NO top coat. 

This color went on smooth, and I only needed two coats to get full coverage. The holo effect is so pretty to stare at in the sunlight! Just look at it! It remind me of what I imagined a spell would look like..Hmmm...

 One thing I did not like was that it wasn't as dark as I expected it to be. In the Storenvy picture this polish looks almost black. When I applied it on, it was very sheer and a charcoal grey.

Cosmic Chaos, direct sunlight

Cosmic chaos is a  powdery grey with a holo effect. Top two fingers are over black. Two coats,and NO top coat.

This is one of my favorite colors! As with Black Hole Sparkle, the application was smooth and only two coats were needed to achieve full coverage. You can't really tell in this picture, but the holo effect in this one is BIG! I like it more on its own then I do on top the black. 

Mini polishes, flash on

No Way! is a silvery green with holo and duo chrome effects.

Oh My Gosh is a copper colored polish with holo and duo chrome effects.

Aurora shimmer, is a very soft lavender color with a holo effect.

All on bare nails; two coats with no topcoat. Taken using flash.

Oh My Gosh!: This polish looks like a very shinny penny, at least to me! Haha. It is a duo chrome polish that has hints of red and a bit of orange in certain angles. It also has a very shiny holo effect that makes it much more bright in the sun.

No Way: This polish is a silvery green. It looks more green in the bottle but once I applied it, it has more of a silver look to it. The polish has hints of purple and a dark grey depending on the angle. It also is a holo polish.

Aurora Shimmer: This polish is another of my favorites. I will definitely have to order the full size soon. It is the pretties and softest lilac purple with micro holo glitters. The holo in this one was very subtle but beautiful. It is perfect for winter and spring. 

The application on all three was very smooth. 

Sun Shine City collection, direct sunlight

The polishes appear white in the bottle until they are charged by the sun on a uv lamp.

L-R:  

Mandarin Rays (Orange)

Solar Flares (Yellow)

Chartreusse Charmer (Blue)

Crimson Sun (Red)

Heliotrope Haven (Purple)

 ____________________________

Now these, these are a nice surprise! They appear white but put them in the sun and the change is instant! I was very pleased by the intensity in these once charged. The picture does not do them any justice! The polish went on smooth, and very evenly.

 I should have a video on my YouTube soon with these! So look out for that!

I know I repeated myself through this post, but that is because these was nothing else to say about these. They really do have great coverage and they are smooth to apply. They were all just amazing! Honestly. you all need to go and buy some of these. Just think of how pretty and sparkly your fingers will look in the following seasons!

Until next time! <3
