Hugs and Kisses- Valentine's Day Design

Hello everyone! Happy Valentine's Day! Today we will be creating a design with a few different holographic polishes, five polishes (I know that is kind of a lot, but you can always just use a few, or all of the polishes.) This design will have some hearts (or course) and the letters XO. This design is great for your V-day date or just for fun even if you don't have a valentines. 

  

Valentine's Day Nail Design

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used for this V-day nail design:

 

Base and top coat - CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polishes- Glitter Daze- Let's have a Waikiki, Cupcake Polish- Lord Licorice- CandyLand, Superchic Lacquer- Cherub, Cirque- Madder, and Color Club Halo's- Harp on. 

Nail art brushes- thin stripper brush, thin detail brush, and small detail brush.

Acrylic paint- white and red.

Other- small cup of water, and small glass jar with acetone for cleaning nail art brushes.

Let's start this love filled nail design! 

Valentine's Day Nail Design

Start off with a thin layer of base coat, then let that dry.

Once your base coat has dried polish your thumb with a pink glittery polish (I used Glitter Daze- Let's have a Waikiki), your index nail with a red holo glitter polish (I used Cupcake Polish- Lord Licorice), your middle and pinky nail with a red holo polish (I used Superchic Lacquer- Cherub), and then a dark red holo on your ring finger nail (I used Cirque- Madder.)

Let all of your base colored polishes dry, then we will start the nail designs.

 

Two hearts on thumb nail, left hand     

One heart on thumb nail, right hand

We will start on the thumb nail, on the left hand I painted two hearts and the right hand I just painted one heart. You can pick out which one you would like to do on the thumb nail. 

Two hearts side by side:

Take a thin detail brush with red acrylic paint, and near the side of the nail make a big heart outline, then fill that in. Then over lapping that heart, make a smaller heart right next to the big heart. 

One big heart:

If you just want to make one heart, do the same thing, just make the heart bigger. First make the outline for the heart and then fill that in with the red acrylic paint.

Valentine's Day Nail Design

For the next part of the design we will paint XO (hugs & kisses) on our index nail. Take a thin detail brush with white paint on it, near the side of the nail carefully paint an X and then right next to the X make a circle shape for the O.

 

 Valentine's Day Nail Design

For the last part of this design, we will make the love raining down on us, on the ring finger nail. Take a thin stripper brush with a silver holo polish (I used Color Club Halo's- Harp on)  and make different size lines, some long and some short, right next to each other. 

Then near the tip of the nail make three small heart, I actually at first made the shape of the hearts with white acrylic paint and then filled them in with the silver holo polish.

On the middle and pinky finger nail, we will just leave those as is, with just the red holo polish.   

 

 Valentine's Day Nail Design

Once you have your design the way you like/ love apply a top coat to help protect your nails and to make them nice a shinny for your valentines day date.

  

 

 Valentine's Day Nail Design, right hand nail design

Here is the other design that I created on my right hand, this time it was very similar, the only thing that was different was the thumb nail.

Hope all of you enjoyed this Valentine's day, hugs and kisses nail design!

Happy Valentine's Day!

See you next time for more nail fun!

Cherub Gaze- Live Love Polish Review

Hello everyone! We yet again have another Live Love Polish review, this time it will be a short review. The last time I ordered from Live Love I only ordered two polishes, when I usually order at lest four polishes. As usually these two polishes and Live Love Polish did not disappoint, they were both amazing!

  

Let's get into these beauties!

 

 

  SuperChic Lacquer's Cherub

First we have SuperChic Lacquer's Cherub this polish is described as a cherry red linear holographic polish, with a shift of orange in it so it looks almost red orange, at least that is what I think.   

This polish formula is AMAZING! This is the rare one coat wonder polish! I had heard that SuperChic polishes have really good formulas, so I just had to try this polish out, and it was true. In one coat this polish applied very smooth and opaque. But for good measure and to make sure this polish really last on me, I would probably still apply another thin coat, just so their is no chipping.    

 

  SuperChic Lacquer's Cherub

This polish is available at Live Love Polish.com, and SuperChic's website as well

Superchic cherub-cupids-bow-collection $14.00 (livelovepolish.com)

https://superchiclacquer.com/cherub-nail-polish/ $14.00 (superchiclacquer.com) 

 

Emily de Molly, Everlasting Gaze 

Next we have Emily de Molly, Everlasting Gaze this polish is described as a turquoise, leaning more towards green holographic polish, with some ingredient flakes in it. 

This polish also had a really good formula, it did take two coats to be fully opaque, but most polishes take at least two coat, their is just the rare few that will cover in one coat. 

 

 

 Emily de Molly, Everlasting Gaze

Unfortunately this polish is currently not available on Live Love Polishes website, but if you do want to order this polish from them, just be on the look out, they seem to restock often.   

Here is the link to Live Love Polish website anyways for this polish:

Emily-de-molly-everlasting-gaze $14.00

This polish is available on Emily de Molly's website, they are an Australian brand, but they do have a warehouse in the USA in North Carolina, that I think all US orders would come from.

Here is the link to the Emily de Molly website:

SuperChic Lacquer's Cherub

 

  Emily de Molly, Everlasting Gaze 

As always I really enjoyed both of these polishes that I ordered from Live Love Polish, they where both very beautiful. I was very please with Cherub from SuperChic Lacquer it is very hard to find a good polish that covers in one coat. I also really did like Everlasting Gaze, from Emily de Molly. This was the first time I had tried out both of these brand I I enjoyed both.  

Hope all of you enjoyed this short review of these two polishes from Live Love Polish!

See you next time for more nail polish fun!  

Let it Snow or Not- Snowflake Winter Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good winter, or a least trying to get through it. If you live in a cold environment or really anywhere it has been a cold winter for everyone, even the people that live in a normally warmer environment. Anyways this week we will be creating a let is snow nail design even if we are all tired of the snow, I know I am. But for some reason I still wanted to create a snow themed nail design.

 Snowflake Nail Design

Here are the nail polishes and nail art tools used for this nail design: 

Base and top coat- - CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polish-  Zoya Enchanted- Saint, JulieG- Blueberry Fizz- texture, and Revlon Holographic Pearls (for some reason I didn't take a photo of this polish, so I garbed a photo from online.) 

Acrylic paint- white 

Nail art tools- medium and small dotting tool, detail brush, thin striping brush, and a small detail brush. 

Other- glass or cup of water to clean off nail art brushes.

Let's start this snow filled nail design! 

Snowflake Nail Design, on left hand

As always start off with a thin layer of base coat.

Let the base coat dry and then on your index and pinky finger nail, polish that with a periwinkle blue polish (I used Zoya- Saint), then on your thumb, middle and ring finger nail polish that with a glittery or textured periwinkle blue polish (I used  JulieG- Blueberry Fizz this is a textured polish). 

On my right hand I polished the thumb and ring finger with JulieG- Blueberry Fizz and the index, middle, and pinky with Zoya- Saint.

Then for an added touch, I just had to add some holo to this design. Take a holographic top coat (I used Revlon Holographic Pearls) one that has a little bit of holo in it, and apply that to all of the nails over both of the polishes.

Then let your base colors dry, and now on the snowflakes.This design like most of the designs I do, it is just random patterns/ lines that are put together, their is no set way of doing this design. 

All of the snowflakes should start off with a star like pattern, then add some arrow like lines on each line, you can have a lot of lines, one, or just a few. 

 

 Snowflake Nail Design,Thumb nail

On the thumb, the snowflake that is on the lower right hand corner I added some triangle shapes in the center of the snowflake.  

Then on all of the nails with a dotting tool, you can make some small dots for some small snowflakes.

To be extra random on the pinky finger nail on the left hand, I added some swirls on the side of the nail.

 

Snowflake Nail Design, on right hand

Then on the right hand on the ring finger nail, I took a stripping brush and made some line lines that looked kind of like icicles, with two small star shapes for snowflakes.

Once you have your snowflakes the way you like apply a top coat to protect your nails from the cold and snowy weather, or really just from chipping to soon.

Hope all of you enjoyed this snowflake nail design!

Happy Belated New Years- Purple & Gold Glitter Gradient

Hello everyone! Sorry that it has been a few weeks since I did a post, a lot of unexpected things have come up and I have not had a chance to sit down a do a nail toutial. Now I have a chance to do one. Anyways I hope everyone had a nice and safe New Year, and for today we will kind of be creating a belated New years nail design, a purple and gold glitter gradient, yes we will be creating this design in the middle of January, I thought this design was very pretty and really could be worn at anytime. 

 

Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient 

 Here are the nail polishes and nail art tools used for this simple design:

 

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat

Nail polishes- Fun Lacquer- Million Dollar Dream and Zoya- Urban Grunge- Finley

Nail art tools- a makeup sponge

That's all you will need!  

 Let's start this pretty glitter gradient design that is great for any party or just for fun! 

 

 

 Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient

Start off by applying a thin layer of base coat to all of your nails, then let that dry.

Just like last year, this year will be filled with lot of holographic glitter polishes (gotta love the holo!) Once your base coat has dried polish all of your nails with a dark purple holo polish, or just a glitter purple polish.

 

 

 Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient

Let that dry, then take a makeup sponge and polish a little bit of a gold glitter polish on to a makeup sponge, then dab that on the nails, focusing most of the glitter near the tip of the nails. You will need to repeat this step for each nail and you may also need to cut some of the sponge if the polish dries out.

I actually thought that I sponge a little to much glitter near the tips of the nails and if I was to do this again I would have not done a much, but I still feel like this turned out well.  

Then with the brush that is in the polish, with very little on the brush polish some glitter more up the nail, so it looks like the gold glitter is almost fading into the purple.      

 

 

 Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient 

Once you have your glitter gradient with the right amount of glitter, you can now apply a top coat to seal in your design and keep your nails nice and shinny, and to help them last through any party.  

Their you go now you have a fun glitter nail design that is great for any party that you go to throughout the year, or even just for fun!

Sorry that I did not get a chance to post this in time for New Year, even though this is great design for New Years, I still though it would be nice to show all of you.

Hope you enjoyed this glitter gradient nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
