Nice Things To List

Hello all! Time for some Stamping Saturdays!

Today I have a gradient stamping which I haven't done in a while. I had on a base of white and then did a gradient with Revlon "African Tea Rose" and "Apricot Nectar". It did get me a couple of coats of sponging to get to the opacity that I liked.

Next I used Bundle Monster BM712: Flowers For Brains stamping plate and Konad white stamping polish to stamp on the design.

After that I decided to sprinkle some sparkle so I added a layer of INM Nails "Silver Holographic Top Coat" to all of my nails. You could totally see that sparkly dust on my nails in the macro shots below :)

Look out for the others who did SS this week!

Yay, it's the weekends! 

I have pretty much completed half of my tests, two more exams and I am done with tertiary education!! So, for this week, I have for you a very soft and light manicure. I chose to stamp using Revlon "Moonlit Woods" which is from the Parfumerie line which are scented polishes,

You can see how delicate the manicure turned out despite the rather tribal prints from BP55 stamping plate that I used. I was quite pleased that the image did transfer pretty well despite it being normal nail polish, plus a scented one!

For you to see more clearly how the image stamped, I darken the image a tad!

Hello friends!

I have been really busy the past week with studies and I am finally able to do my nails and write this post. I have for you a swatch of Apricot Nectar from Revlon's new line, PARFUMERIE. It is a nail polish line that has added scent to the polish, each one with a different smell.

Apricot Nectar has this very very sweet smell, one that I do not absolutely love, but one that is definitely interesting too. Even with a top coat on, I can still smell it. Now moving on to the polish color itself.

This is the bottle shot of Apricot Nectar outdoors. It is a cream orange-leaning coral pink.

... and outdoors it is bright bright orange! I was so surprised! The color just popped like it was an orangey-coral neon! It does not seem like what it is in the bottle, creamy and soft. Instead it catches you off guard and shines brightly like a neon!

Hello dear readers!! I have a swatch plus review for you!

The Revlon Nail Art Expressionist is a two sided polish with one end a normal sized brush and the other a thinner brush for nail art. Today's product is called Pastel Pun 390 and swatched is the thinner brush side, which has this grey-ish colour. Very very pretty. It's sophisticated on its own and it matches my fair skin well ^^

The thin brushes aren't those like stripers. This one is a little thicker and is almost half of a normal sized brush. So I will not comment on the application since it wasn't supposed to be painted on the whole nail. However, the formula is good, almost opaque in one coat. The swatches all have two, with Glisten & Glow's HK Girl Topcoat. 

Hello friends!

Today I have something different, a swatch! I have read many reviews that Revlon Whimsical is a sheer polish, so I decided to add an undie to this swatch. I used my fav Catrice Play it Blue + two coats of Whimsical + Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcat for the swatch. I shall do a review of this new topcoat soon!
