Hello hello!
Today I have ventured out of my norms to create this manicure. I had on a base color of Jior Couture - I Can Azure You It's Fall (
reviewed here) and then one coat of NCLA - Enchanted City, a beautiful holographic glitter with medium turquoise hex pieces. Lovely combination!
Anyway, I initially I wanted to do a water marble with a clear polish to see the background through, but sadly that didn't work out... So I tried the spray method.
What I did was drop white polish into my water (like how you would marble) and then use a perfume and spray it onto the surface of the polish and that breaks it apart in abstract patterns that looks amazing. Then I dip my nail in (like how you would when marbling).
IT TURNED OUT SO GOOOOOD! I am so impressed and happy with the result! Because the glitters can be seen through and the whole manicure looks so abstract-y! What do you think? Take a closer look at the macro shot collage below :D

Hello again!
Here's one more stamping plate that I would love to share with all of you! It is BornPrettyStore's BP-L004 stamping plate which has 21 designs for just $4.59!! This plate is more worth it as compared to BP-L003 (reviewed here), but then again it depends if you like the deigns on here :)
Similar to that of L003 plate, L004 was able to just nicely fit the length of my thumb nail as you can see below.
To pick out some designs, I used the Konad Black stmaping polish and stamped on four different designs on to my nails. I had two coats of NCLA - Lightyears Ahead, a beautiful light grey holographic polish (
reviewed here).
The stamping experience was really great, I had only needed one try to get it all nicely in place and transferred without any problem. The only downside for this is that I realized my pinky could not allow for the full design to be shown as it is way smaller to allow so. Otherwise, I really do love this plate!
Time for some macro *grins*

Hello everyone~
Today I have for you a beautiful holographic blue by NCLA. Application and formula was perfect, and easy to work with. The only problem I have is that when I removed it, there were some blue stains at the sides of my nails. It was kinda disappointing but I guess it was worth it too HAHA
Look at that fine holo :D Do you guys like it? It sure is a pretty and gorgeous shade of blue (like I always say HAHA)

Hello guys!
If you're an avid Instagrammer and follow me on my IG account (@nailsbykarise) you would've known I have two new polishes to add to the family! I got NCLA Lightyears Ahead andddddd Spaced out! These two totaled my stash to 70. Oooops!
Anyway, today I have a swatch of Lightyears Ahead!
This holographic is beyond crazy. It is a grey toned base with green, blue, purple and red (did I name all??) shone under different lighting. Application was a breeze, the polish was not thick at all (plus point) and two coats does a good coverage.
Swatches are two coats, no topcoat.
This polish I did not regret getting at all! A super love now <3 I find that this shade of holographic is somehow more feminine and elegant in a sense. LOL, what do you guys think?
