Skittlespiration

Okay so Skittlespirations isn't a word but my blog my rules right? While blog surfing I came across a fun contest that I (after much deliberation) decided to enter. Kelsie from Kelsie's Nail Files asked contestants to create a design from an image on her Pinterest Board.  Here's what I came up with and the image it was based on. 


Pointer- China Glaze Liquid Leather
Middle- Cult Nails Cruisin' Nude, Chine Glaze Liquid Leather, Born Pretty "Glequins," Essie Good as Gold
Ring- China Glaze Liquid Leather, Cult Nails Cruisin' Nude
Pinky- Cult Nails Tempest, Konad Red Stamping Polish, BM-313


So what do you guys think? I thought it turned out pretty good. Wish me luck!
P.S. I forgot to mention that the cascading glitters came from and idea I saw on The Illustrated Nail's tumbler. Her work is seriously breath taking.

Cult Nails 2nd Anniversary Collection!


Happy Sunday people, hope your weekend has been as relaxing as mine. You may are may not have heard about the release of Cult Nails Anniversary Collection last week, and I was very excited to see that mine arrived in the mail yesterday. Now it's no secret that I love me some Cult Nails, so I didn't hesitate to snap up my own set of this collection as soon as it hit the net. 

  
First up is the ultra creamy Tempest. It's a self leveling high gloss white that applies that butter. I used two thin coats to get complete coverage. Keep in mind that while the formula is amazing, the color it self is very plain. It's geared for nail art and stamping so if the price tag is a little too steep for you, opting for a trustworthy drug store brand is the way to go. 




Next up is Blaze, which is a micro glitter made up of gold copper and silver suspended in a clear base. As a micro glitter, the coverage is even and relatively smooth. It does take quite a few coats to build up the opacity, which may lend toward a certain thickness if you don't keep your coats thin. I didn't have any problems with this particular application though so I can't complain. For today I wanted to swatch Blaze over another color in the collection, but after experimenting on a color wheel this beauty looks stunning on a variety of richer color. It's warmth really sets pinks reds and oranges on fire. 



 

 And, last but not least is Fetish the star of this collection. With an absolutely stunning wax finish this black is a game changer. Fetish has a fantastic formula and quick dry time, it also only requires one coat. I can already imagine the fun color combinations this finish will inspire. 
  



Sooo? What do you think? Another excellent collection from Cult Nails, or have polishes with interesting finishes run their coarse?

ManGlaze!

So a while back I saw a post on Facebook of the cutest nails design and please forgive me because I can not seem to find the link! If you are reading this and you happen to have seen that post send me the link so I can give the girl some much due credit. I immediately fell in love with this nail art design because I love matte polish and it was the perfect design to wear for my five year anniversary with the best boyfriend ever! 



I started with a base coat of ManGlaze Mayo, then using my striping tape to block 
off the tips I topped it all with a coat of Matte is Murder also by ManGlaze. Then as if this wasn't sexy enough I used my BM-02 plate to add a couple of kisses in Essie Loophole. 



Like I said, this mani was born to be worn on a hot date so keep it in mind for your next night out!
