Looking Polished: Chanel Le Vernis in Mimosa I truly ADORED the tiny flecks of glitter that are apparent in the nail polish bottle but the look did not at all translate onto my nails. The formula is opaque but applies streaky, even with a base coat. I love the color but alas I will not be wearing this shade. What are your thoughts on...

Layered Polishes Nail Look: Orly Holo Topcoat Over Sally Hansen Fire Opal and Wet N Wild Black Creme In this nail look below, I used Prisma Gloss Silver as a topcoat. But before that, let's look at what I used underneath my holo topcoat! These Sally Hansen Prisms were discontinued a long time ago, and they fetch high prices on Ebay. I got these at Ross. Got 2 packs for $5.99 each. What

Velvet Nails With ChanelOkay, well I had a little go with the new Chanel Mattifying Top Coat (I'm having a bit of a Chanel day one way and another!) doing a two tone nail look using Chanel Khaki Rose as the main colour and Chanel Pirate as the tip. I applied Khaki Rose in one coat (a thick one) and left it to dry for...

The Hunger Games Nail Look: Effie Trinket's Gradient Nails If I would do this again, I would put the gradient a little lower on the nail, maybe just a little over half of the nail, as my short nails look a little overwhelmed by the gold gradient. Anyways, I really like this design and I would love to use The Full Monty as a sponge glitter gradient...

I have no idea when I'll wear it, or how often, but I adore the color. I didn't swatch this shade last week because I'm application-challenged. Would someone please give me lessons? First, I'd...

Nail Look: Nail Stamp Art Using OPI A Grape Fit I really like this nail look. I am glad I was able to find base and top coats that make these kinds of nail looks last a pretty long time without chips (and no rhinestones falling off!). My favorite top coat is Gelous that you can get at Sally Nail Supply. It basically coats your nails with...

How to Keep Your Nails Looking Pretty While my nails were not looking 'Wicked" in the winter or 'Instant Hot' in the summer, they were appearing a little worn and, I hate to say, yellow. I knew something had to be done. I decided to let my nails breathe and took a two-week hiatus from polish. I noticed my nails looking more...

Nail Look: China Glaze Magnetix Nail Lacquer in Cling On That's why in this nail look, I didn't use China Glaze magnets but Color Club's. I like the round ones that you can attach to the main nail polish cap. The rest are just plain useless to me. China Glaze Magnetix in Cling On is a beautiful olive green frosty shimmer. The magnetic design makes...

Chanel Le Vernis Vertigo SwatchesSomehow last fall I missed out on Chanel Le Vernis Vertigo. Well I finally had a chance to see it in person not too long ago and decided it was one Chanel that would be coming home with me. Vertigo isn't an easy shade to explain though! Vertigo is a deep plum/brown base. It has subtle kind...

Chanel Le Vernis In 565 BeigeChanel Le Vernis in 565 Beige was the last thing on my shopping list, even when it first appeared online. I love shades of beiges and nudes on my nails but I reach out for muted roses and reds more often because they seem to brighten up my skin tone. When I was at Chanel checking out the Les...

OPI Tickle My France-y + GoldenEye Glitter Ombre Nail Look! I'm absolutely loving the glitter ombre nail look at the mo... The nailpolish combination is endless, you can make the same nail polish look new every time just by adding a bit of glitter, but ombre-ing them takes it to a whole new level of awesomeness... Seriously try it if you haven't yet,...

Chanel Le Vernis In Gold Fingers The formula and consistency is similar to Graphite too, very easy to apply. I did not experience any streaking. In terms of texture, consistency and formula, everything is love but I am not sure if I love the shade. I find it a little too yellow on 10 fingers – perhaps using it as an...
