Ever After Polish Mrs. Robinson: Swatch and Review

Ever After Polish Mrs. Robinson: Swatch and Review

*Purchased by Me*

I feel like it has been a bit since I've posted! Sorry; I'm baaaack! Today, I have a bright, summer color from Ever After to share with you!

This shade is named Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. Robinson was a color that Rachel created for The Indie Shop, which was an indie nail polish event that was held in California in May. Well, afterwards, she made some of the bottles available for purchase through the website, and you know that I had to pick it up! Mrs. Robinson is a bright neon pink with a golden shimmer. The shimmer is a bit shy in pictures, but is definitely apparent in person! 

 

The formula on Mrs. Robinson was absolutely smooth and wonderful, as are all of the Ever Afters that I own! I was able to reach full opacity in two coats of medium thickness. Because of the neon nature of the polish, it dried down a bit matte; because of this, I added glossy topcoat for extra shine, and to bring out that gorgeous golden shimmer! Shown in my pictures are two coats, plus one layer of glossy top coat; these were taken under a daylight bulb.

I also thought that this would be the perfect base for some stamping! One of my favorite color combos is neon pink (okay, any neon color) and black. For this I chose an image from Bundle Monster's BM-716, from the Secret Garden Collection of plates, and stamped using black Konad polish and my clear stamper from Born Pretty Store. Everything is sealed in with another layer of glossy top coat! 

There are still some bottles of Mrs. Robinson left in Ever After's shop, so if you love it, be sure to pick up a bottle! The cost is $10.00 plus shipping, and you can find the listing right here!

Manicure Monday: Ever After Polish and KBShimmer

Manicure Monday featuring: Ever After Polish and KBShimmer

*Purchased by Me*

Happy Manicure Monday! If you are a mother to any type of being, I hope that you had an amazing day yesterday! 

Today, I am sharing another water decal mani with you! I had placed a small order with KBShimmer a couple of weeks ago, and decided to pick up one of the designs of water decals that are available in the shop. The image that I chose was a neon gradient snake skin print!

There were so many options to choose from, when it came to colors to pair these with! I opted for a pink holo from Ever After, named Tutti Frutti. Tutti Frutti was one of my first Ever After colors, and it was one of the colors offered by Hella Holo Customs in August of 2015. 

For my mani, I used Tutti Frutti on my thumb and pinky and index fingers, and applied the KBShimmer decals over one coat of white, on my ring and  middle fingers, and sealed everything in with topcoat. Tutti Frutti has a magnificent formula, and it is opaque in two coats. The decals were easy to use, and they readily separated from the backing after soaking the pieces for about 15 seconds. Don't they look cool?? 

 

 

KBShimmer's decals are available on their site for $2.95 for one sheet. While Tutti Frutti is no longer available from Ever After, there are always many gorgeous colors available in the shop!

Manicure Monday: Nail Art Using China Glaze Electric Nights Collection and Uber Chic Stamping Plates

*All Purchased by Me*

Happy Manicure Monday! I have some nail art for you today! I had created this mani back in the summer, and decided that I wanted to re-create it. Here are the materials that I had to gather, before I began: 

 

In order to begin this mani, I started with two coats of a plain white creme polish. My white of choice was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 'Tag, Ur It!' This was released in Summer 2015, and it is one of my favorite whites-- It is opaque in two coats, and it dries quickly! 

After applying two coats of white, I topped it with one coat of quick-dry top coat, and let it dry for about 15 minutes. Then, I did a gradient with three colors from the China Glaze Summer 2015 Electric Nights Collection: Red-y to Rave, Home Sweet House Music, and Daisy Know My Name?. The Electric Nights collection is one of my favorites from China Glaze, and each color is bright, neon, and gorgeous. I only needed two passes of the cosmetic sponge over each nail for my desired opacity for this gradient! After clean up, I sealed and smoothed the gradient with another layer of top coat.

Next, I chose an image from an Uber Chic stamping plate, and stamped it with my favorite double-sided stamper from Bundle Monster. The plate that I chose was plate 1-01; I stamped using black Konad polish. I then sealed in the design with a final layer of glossy top coat. Here is the finished product!

And a macro! 

I absolutely love the contrast between the neons and the black stamping, and am so happy with how these came out! 

So,are you a neon person? Do you like gradients? Let me know below!
