China Glaze Gothic Lolita Swatches & Review

China Glaze Gothic Lolita Swatches & ReviewThere are some polishes that crave the bright lights and the attention of a flashing camera in their direction. (They even wear over-sized sunglasses so they come across as bigger stars than they actually are…)

Then there are those that huddle in the corner and act like shy wallflowers. You have to coax them to come to the spotlight, and you have to tell them that their doting fans wish to see them.

China Glaze Gothic Lolita from the ElectroPop Collection wasn’t shy, but it wasn’t a diva, either. It just refused to show me its true colours in front of the camera despite me taking pictures in different lighting conditions!

After spending some quality time with Gothic Lolita, she finally opened up to me over a cup of coffee. She’s really a pink purple rather than a blue purple like she looks in my photos.

(P.S. Check back again tomorrow to see what I put on top of this polish. Any guesses?) 😉

Nail Art Tutorial: Pot of Gold Nails

Pot of Gold Nails Nail Art Tutorial & SwatchesA couple of days ago, I brought you a shamrock nail-art design I came up with. Today, I have Pot of Gold Nails!

This is a very quick look that you can whip up in no time.

But, if you have some extra time to spend, consider adding a rainbow that leads to the gold. You could also put a metallic dollar-sign on the pot.

Hope that you like this easy design. It was pretty fun wearing this on my fingertips. But I was on the lookout for any leprechauns that would come to claim their treasure. 😉

China Glaze Golden Enchantment Swatches & Review (Layered Over Cult Nails In A Trance)

China Glaze Golden Enchantment Swatches & ReviewWhile looking through some old folders on my computer, I found a manicure I wore quite a while ago.

The flash photos didn’t look so hot, but since I had a bunch of other photos in different lighting, I thought it was still worth sharing with you.

It’s an oldie, but a goodie – China Glaze Golden Enchantment!

In this post, you’ll see it layered over Cult Nails In A Trance, which I’ve previously reviewed. I think that Golden Enchantment looks the best layered over olive greens.

China Glaze Golden Enchantment lives up to its name. The holographic glitter makes an excellent top coat that transforms your base colour into something truly magical!

China Glaze Gaga For Green Swatches & Review

China Glaze Gaga For Green Swatches & ReviewWhen I first heard of China Glaze Gaga For Green, thoughts of Lady Gaga dressed as a frog on a glittertastic lily pad came to mind.

Although Gaga For Green isn’t that dramatic, I still really loved wearing it because of how fresh and clean it looked. Plus the formula didn’t croak. 😉 It applied well.

You know that I have a soft spot for green nail polish, but it takes something extra to make me want to reach for it more than once.

China Glaze Gaga For Green has that something special, and I thought of a nail-art design I could do with it as the base. I’ll try to execute and photograph the idea sometime in March for a tutorial

China Glaze Aquadelic Swatches & Review

China Glaze Aquadelic Swatches & ReviewChina Glaze Aquadelic probably looks a bit familiar to you. When I first saw it, it reminded me immediately of China Glaze For Audrey. (More on that later in this post!)

China Glaze Aquadelic hails from the ElectroPop Collection Spring 2012.

It’s actually a robin’s egg blue. (My flash photos are closer to the real colour.) But, here in natural light, you can see more of the light blue.

If you’re looking for an eye-popping colour that’s flattering on pretty much everyone, I highly recommend Aquadelic!

Nail Art Tutorial: Valentine’s Day Nails

Valentine's Day Nails Nail Art Tutorial & PicturesHappy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

I love Valentine’s Day because it serves as a reminder to appreciate the people we’re so lucky and blessed to have in our lives whether you’re happily married or single.

Will you all be my nail Valentine? 😉

It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve done a nail-art tutorial, and I couldn’t let February 14 roll by without doing something!

So, here are some quick little Valentine’s Day Nails. If you turn your head to the right (or look at my other photos in this post), you’ll see that they have fluffy, white clouds that have lightning and that are raining down a slew of hearts.

My inspiration for this was the cheesy (but fun!) song, It’s Raining Men! Instead of men, though, I thought I’d paint hearts.

This is a very easy manicure that you can whip up in a pinch. Hope that some of you will try it sometime, even if you don’t today. 🙂

I wish you all love and happiness! Thank you for being the best blog readers in the world – it brings tears to my eyes at how loyal you are!
