Nail Art with Anonymous Lacquer and Water Decals

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Saturday! I hope that the weekend is going well for you! 

I have a brief post today, to show you the mani that I'm currently sporting! 

For this, I polished my thumb, pinky and index finger with Anonymous Lacquer Mermaid Magic, which came in the Mermani Awesomesauce Box; you can check out my review on it right here! For my middle and ring finger, I started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Tag, Ur It!, one of my favorite whites. Then I applied one of the designs that I received in my pack of water decals. Everything is sealed in with top coat! 

That's all! Told ya that it would be quick, right?

Friday Nail Art! Featuring Ever After Polish and Water Decals

*Sent for Review*

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Friday! I hope that you had an amazing week! I can't believe that it's going to be May in two days...time flies by wayyyy to quickly for me sometimes! Although, it is that time of the year; the time where I can pull out one of my favorite memes! 

Hey there, Justin! How's it going? 

Anywhoooo, let's get to some polish! 

A couple of weeks ago, I had ordered a couple of packs of full-nail water decals from ebay. I have recently fallen in love with water decals, and wanted to buy some in bulk! Well, I received one of the orders yesterday, and I just had to play with them! 

To start out with today's look, I chose one of the designs to use. I opted for a pretty pink cherry blossom design. 

After deciding on a design, it was time to choose a polish! I picked up Ever After Polish's Princess Christmas Cake. I had received Princess Christmas Cake to swatch and review back in the winter time, and fell in love with it then. 

Ever After Princess Christmas Cake is a light, baby pink, packed with silver flakies and linear holo. It was a part of the 'Tis the Season to Sparkle collection that was released this past winter; unfortunately, it is no longer available in Ever After's shop. 

 

 

 The formula on Princess Christmas Cake is smooth and easy to control. I like to apply a thin first coat, and then build up to opacity in three layers. Dry time is wonderful, and it dries nice and smooth! Shown in my pictures are three coats, plus glossy top coat.

 

 When I went to apply the water decals, I thought that they looked opaque and that I would be able to layer them over Princess Christmas Cake. Alas, they were more sheer than I had expected. So instead, I chose to paint my ring and middle finger with a white base, using one coat of Sally Hansen Tag, Ur It! I then cut the decals to fit my nails and applied them, then sealed everything in again with top coat. Here is the final result!

 

This look came out super feminine and delicate, and I really like it! I can't wait to play with some more of my decals!

If you are interested in water decals, I suggest that you search on ebay; they are super inexpensive, and I didn't have to wait too long for the shipping from China. To see one of the listings that I purchased, you can click right here!

le Polish Love Your Mother (Earth): Partial Collection Swatches and Review

*Sent by maker for swatch, photography, and review*

Hey there! I have something exciting to share with you today! Allison of the brand le Polish is releasing a new quad of polish for the spring, and it is named the Love Your Mother (Earth) Collection. Each polish in this collection is named after the lovely Greek Goddesses of earth, and they are based off of this gorgeous photograph! 

The first polish that I have to show you is named Gaia. Gaia is named after the primary mother goddess, the giver of life to Earth, and the mother to Rhea (coming up next!). Gaia is described as a "deep teal full of green holo glitter and navy and gold flakes representing the colors of Earth from the view at Mount Olympus." 

The formula on Gaia was nice and smooth, and the glitter and flakes required minimal manipulation to be placed where I wanted them. The formula is jelly-like, so I used three coats for full opacity; dry time was average. Shown are three coats plus glossy top coat, under a daylight bulb. 

The next polish in the collection is named Rhea. Rhea is the Titaness Mother of Gods, and the mother to Demeter. It is described as a "dusty purple jam-packed with pink, lavender, and orange glitters and green micro-flakes. She may not be a goddess herself, but she birthed them and is every bit as beautiful!"

 

The formula on Rhea was smooth as well, and I did not need to manipulate the glitter at all! The base is also jelly-like, and it a light lavender; therefore, I used three thin coats for full opacity; dry time was average for this beauty as well. You could also probably layer it over a light lavender creme, if you wanted to intensify the color! I am a purple polish lover at heart, so I definitely gravitated towards Rhea. Shown in my swatches are three coats plus glossy top coat, under a daylight bulb. 

This collection also contains two other polishes: A spring green, full of pink and gold, with pink micro-flakes (named after Demeter) and a fiery orange with teal glitters, gold flakes, and purple micro-flakes (named after Persephone). 

 

The Love Your Mother (Earth) collection will be releasing on Friday, April 22nd, at noon Eastern Time at www.lepolish.bigcartel.com . The polishes will be available in full size (15 mL) and mini (7.5 mL). Individual full-size polishes will be $10 each, or you can pick up the full-sized quad for $38.50. Individual minis will cost $6.00 each, or $23.25 for the entire mini quad.
