Random Nail Art

Hey!

I've got some new nail art to show you guys today! This was actually supposed to be the base for a different mani but I ruined it. Good thing I took a picture of it before messing with it. So let's take a look!

Polish picture M Polish Apple Blossom

Isn't this pretty? I love the pearly look it has.

I started off with a white base and let it fully dry. 

Left to righ:
Apple Blossom, Starflower, Bells of Ireland, Apricot Delight

Then I used four polishes from the spring collection by M Polish Stamping Polish. Sadly these have been discontinued. M Polish launched with this collection last year. I'm so happy I own all of them!

I did random brush strokes of each color on each nail. I had to do two passes on every nail to make the colors pop a bit more. Once I was done I top coated with Seche Vite and cleaned up with my clean up brush dipped in acetone.

I really loved the effect! I hope to do it again soon and stamp over it how I originally planned.

What do you think of this look?

Thank you for stopping by. Happy polishing! ;)

Purple gradient nails

Hey beauties!

So I thought I was out of my funk but nope. I can't seem to get inspired to do nail art. I gave it a try today and I think it came out ok. 

I did some stamping over a purple gradient. It looks blue for some reason though.

I started with two coats of OPI You're Such A Budapest

OPI You're Such a Budapest two coats no topcoat

And since I'm out of liquid latex I put tape around my nails and sponged on OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? along with You're Such A Budapest.

Remember those days using tape? Lol

For the stamping I used a FB group custom from M Polish called Oh Shit That's Pretty! And a plate gifted to me in a secret Santa swap.

Charm item #21397 from bornprettystore.com

For another look I applied this charm provided for review from bornprettystore item #21397 in option #8 with some flat back opal pearls around it. I thought it was going to be a bit smaller or maybe my nails are too short for it. So for now it feels too big for my taste.

M Polish To Have and To Holo/ Frost comparison

Hi lovelies!

Today I have a comparison post of M Polish stamping polishes, To Have and to Holo and Frost. 

To Have and To Holo was the first holographic stamping polish released to the public by M Polish. Frost is from the Winter 2015 Collection, see my review here. You might be debating whether you need both or not. In my opinion you need both because they're not the same.

To Have and to Holo is a linear holographic stamping polish while Frost is a holographic polish with scattered platinum microflakes throughout. It can also be worn as regular polish.

My swatch below shows To Have and to Holo stamped on index and middle nails. Frost is stamped on ring and pinky nails. Both are stamped over one coat of Salon Perfect Oil Slick (black). Excuse the awkward hand pose!

Index & middle: THATH  Ring & pinky: Frost
Direct light

Index& middle: THATH  Ring & pinky: Frost

You can really see the difference between the two. I think they're different enough to have both. They're both gorgeous! To Have and to Holo I purchased myself as soon as it was released because holo! What do you think of these?

M Polish will be restocking THATH and other collections for cyber monday so don't miss out! The Spring Collection will be retiring so get those before they're gone! You can see my swatches of the Spring Collection here. Warning I was still a newb at blogging and swatching back then! lol

This collection is perfect for stamping or for wearing as traditional polish. Formula is thick but not difficult to work with. It's opaque in one easy coat or two coats if you prefer thinner coats. It dries to a dull finish but comes to life with top coat so don't skip it! This M Polish collection certainly didn't disappoint! I love them and can't pick a favorite. Which is your favorite?

Collection is available now in full size and mini. There will be a restock soon and there will be a cyber monday sale of 25% off so get ready!

Gold stamping over Sinful Colors Hot Chili

At first I didn't like this polish that much but after wearing it for a few days it kind of grew on me. It chipped so I took it off only to paint my nails with this same polish again lol. 

I give you Sinful Colors Hot Chili!!

Sinful Colors Hot Chili outdoors

This is two coats plus a generous amount of Seche Vite top coat. It looks bumpy on the nail but it's not. I think it's because the base isn't a cream but more of a metallic type finish. I love the glitter in it.

Sinful Colors Hot Chili

It has small gold holo hex glitter and some micro glitter in it. Those shots were taken in direct sunlight.

Here's an indoor shot under daylight bulbs.

I stamped over it with M Polish Guilded from the Metallics Collection using an image from Pet'la Plate Golden Russian.

What do you think of this look? Do you like Sinful Colors?

Sinful Colors is one of the mainstream brands I enjoy using. They're inexpensive and their formulas are usually really good. If you have Walgreens around you they usually have sales and you can get Sinful Colors for .99! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. See you next time!
