31 Day Challenge ~ Week 6 Violet for Valentines Day

31 Day Challenge ~ Week 6 Violet for Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone ~ I wanted to do something feminine but I didn't want to do reds and pinks, so I finally decided to do purple.


for this mani, I used:
  • OPI ~ significant other color
  • purple nail tape
  • konad ~ white polish
  • konad stamper & scraper
  • konad plate ~ m84
Signifcant other color is a super sheer pink purple with a warm green lime shimmers, very mesmerizing

31 Day Nail Challenge: Week 5 blue ~ deborah lippmann ~ glitter in theair?

deborah lippmann ~ glitter in the air?

I know Revlon has a polish named Whimsical that is quite similar to glitter in the air by Deborah Lippmann. However, the I have looked at the Revlon Whimsical and thought that it that the blue-green was more on the muddy side hence I have always looked at it and thought about whether or not I should try it. Recently I kind of fell into a craze for Korean Beauty Brands and found a line of TonyMoly polishes that I totally fell in love with (most probably because of the glitters), but this specific one GS08 looks even more similar to Deborah Lippmann's glitter in the air than Revlon's whimsical. Then you can pretty much guess the rest of the story, I had to have it! And Voila!

TonyMoly GS08 Review:
  • drying time: 3/5 
  • even application: 4/5
  • flat glitter: 5/5 
  • coverage: 1/5
In terms of formula, it is very sheer and the glitter concentration is quite sparse, but this polish is very easy to build up. My nails were done with 6 thin coats which gives me more glitters :). I really like this polish and for the price, I am very impressed with the formula. This polish has pink and light blue hexes of different sizes which creates a lot of depth for this jelly finish.

31 Day Nail Challenge: Week 4 Green


Week 4: Tiffany


For week 4, it was a dilemma on which green to use :P, I ended up doing a Tiffany Robin Egg color with gold accent 

this mani was done with:
  • China Glaze ~ For Audrey
  • China Glaze ~ Angel Wings
  • triangle rhinestones 

After I did my pinky, I kind of like the 1 triangle rhinestone rather than the 3 better. :P
