Leopard Skittlette using Ever After Customs, OPI, and Zoya

*Purchased by Me*

*Borrowed from Someone Else*

Happy Saturday, and I hope you're having a great one so far! I feel like time is going by so fast, and can't believe that March is almost over!

For you today, I have some skittlette nail art! For this design, I used my basic black, Zoya Willa, and basic white, OPI Alpine Snow. For my holos/indies, I used two customs that were created by Rachel of Ever After. Let's take a look! 

The fist Ever After custom is one that I purchased from someone who was destashing. It is a red holo, and it comes from a collection that was based off of characters from Pretty Little Liars. This color is named -A, and it is based off of, well...A! It is opaque in two coats.

 

 

The next custom is one that my mother had made, named Luna's Stardust. This is a black linear holo with silver flakies! It is opaque in two coats. 

 

 

 To make the leopard print design for my mani, I used a cuticle stick that I had on hand, which has one pointed end and one flat end. I used the flat end to make red spots using -A, over Alpine Snow, and the pointed end to make small lines and dots, using Willa. Everything is sealed in with top coat. Here's the final look! 

Leopard print was one of the first types of nail art that I ever did, and it always holds a special place in my heart! What is one (or more) of your favorite nail art designs? Let me know below!

Lovely Layering: Zoya Willa and Vapid Lacquer TKO

*Purchased by me, and received through a swap*

Happy Thursday! I have some more layering for you today! This was kind of an "accidental" layering: One of the polishes is one that I own only in a mini, so I want to preserve it as much as possible!

For this mani, I began with two coats of Zoya Willa. Willa is a super creamy black creme. It is my absolute favorite black creme, and it is so smooth and shiny, even without topcoat! Zoya's cremes are always impeccable, and Willa is no exception.

After my two coats of Willa dried down, I topped it with one coat of Vapid Lacquer's TKO. I received TKO through a swap with a fellow polish-aholic, and I am so happy that I did!

 

 

 

TKO is a black base with ultrachrome chameleon flakies and multi-colored microglitter. It applied nice and smooth, and dried quickly! Here's what it looks like over Willa!

Isn't is beautiful?? Look at that multi-colored goodness!

Nail Art using Zoya Willa, Orly Mirrorball, and M Polish To Have and To Holo

Happy Monday! It's another snowy day here...surprise, surprise! Today, I have some nail art for you!

I knew that I wanted to do something with black and either silver or holo. My go-to black creme is Zoya's Willa...it is an amazing black that is creamy and opaque in one-and-a-half to two coats. I am always a sucker for Zoya's formulas!

For my ring finger and pinky, I chose Orly Mirrorball. Mirrorball is a white-silver linear holo with added holo glitter. It is one of the best (and almost one of the only) mainstream linear holos that I have encountered, except for the rare ones released by OPI. This baby was opaque in two coats!

For the stamping, I used a silver holo polish from an indie brand called M Polish, and the color is named To Have and To Holo. I used a plate from Born Pretty Store, BP-25, and applied it with a stamper from Bundle Monster. Now, when I first got THATH, I tried to use it along with a squishy stamper head. When that did not work, I got a tip from some other ladies in a polish group on Facebook that it would work better with a firmer stamping head. Lo and behold, I used the other side of my Bundle Monster stamper, and it worked like a dream! The stamper comes with both a soft and a firmer head, so you can choose which one you like better; you can find it right here!

I just get so excited when I have a design in mind, and it comes out exactly how I envisioned!

The maker and owner of M Polish, Megan, is currently on maternity leave, but I will leave her shop information, as well as Bundle Monster's, Zoya's and Born Pretty Store's, down below. Happy browsing!
