Frosty Layering!

*blows the dust off* Now that I have more time over the summer, I'm going to post my awesome nail stuff. Not so much swatching of new colors because money is tight, but some artsy stuff and layerings.

Here is my first layering in a long while.

Sunlight:

Shade

What I used:

So you can get an idea of how I did it.

My base coat is Orly Nail Defense. Then I did 2 coats of OPI Grape Set Match.

Next up was a thin layer of Zoya Ginessa, followed by a coat of Nfu-Oh 51, topped with a coat of Nicole by OPI Count on Me. My topcoat was Seche Vite.

It was great to finally put Ginessa on my nails and not have it look icky. I've had issues with it in the past when I tried it alone. Count on Me is one of my favorites for layering. It just adds a touch of awesome to everything.

Where to buy:

Orly Nail Defense-Sally Beauty Supply

OPI Grape Set Match-TransDesign I got my bottle from Amazon, so check there as well.

Zoya Ginessa-Zoya

Nfu-Oh 51-FabulousStreet

Nicole by OPI Count on Me- I got mine at Wal Mart.

Seche Vite-I got mine at Wal Mart, but I know Sallys has it as well.

Enjoy!

China Glaze Dance Baby + Zoya Chole

Another post! This time it's my Valentines Day mani!

This one is two coats of China Glaze Dance Baby from the new Electropop Collection, and a coat of Zoya Chole from the new FleckEffect collection. I really enjoyed this one. China Glaze went on really nice as did the Zoya.

Removal was pretty easy compared to glitters. I was expecting some trouble with the flakes. I can't wait to try another CG/Zoya combo.

China Glaze Magnetix

So I have to apologize for my lack of updating. My phone is/was my main source of pictures and it has been giving me MASSIVE problems, so there has been a lack of pictures. Alas, I now have an itouch and it takes semi-decent pictures. So let's get going shall we?

Today I have a swatch of China Glaze-Cling On from the new Magnetix collection. I tried getting the other colors from transdesign, but they sold out. :(

(sorry for the blur)

This is just one coat. I tried to show off the different designs that the magnet has, but only the diagonal stripes seem to work the best. I ended up redoing this as a full mani the other day with just the stripes and I liked it. This is a gold/green combo which is nice. Application was streaky, but it evened out. I have learned you have to work really fast to get the design to work.

Overall, I like it and can't wait to get the purples.
