Mint Chocolate Interlocking dots

Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well!!

This manicure isn't what I originally planned but I'm totally not used too long nails and I had an insane time trying too get the striping tape straight!! I don't know how you ladies do it, seriously I applaud you all!

My base for all of my nails is Nubar Green Silver Glitter. That's across ALL nails.

I used Cult Nails Spontaneous and taped off a triangle (not a straight one you LOL) You can kind of see the pink shimmer in Spontaneous, but I think it tones down the holographic, can't keep your eyes off of your nails look of GSG.

TADA!

To create the dotticure, I first taped off the section that I wanted to paint with Nubar Jewel. After I painted the section I let it dry slightly then started doing the dots! You definitely don't have too tape off the section though I didn't with my right hand. :P #rebel I'm sure there are tutorials out there on how to create an interlocking dot mani, but I can always do a tutorial if you would like... It's really really easy.

I seriously LOVE how this turned out, it kind of reminds me of chocolate ice cream dripping... Is that weird? Did I just make you want ice cream?! :P On my ring finger I used striping tape to create the sunburst. The hardest part was to get the vertical line straight down the middle, then it was a walk in the park.
I topped the entire mani off with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat


I love this mani seriously. What do you think?!

All  of the polishes were purchased by me with my own money with the exception of G&G HK Girl Topcoat.

My First Tape-icure!

Nothing To Disclose
Hey Loves!
I hope you all are doing swell! I meant to put this post up the other day but there's been a lot going on around here and I honestly just never got around to it. Super lame and I am sorry!

I want to make note that this is ONE manicure, I did something different on both hands. I've learned my lesson and probably wont do it again because I hate HATE how my left hand photographed. 

On my left hand for a base I used Zoya PixieDust Miranda. I then used striping tape and applied Nubar's Jewel over top.

Nubar Green/Silver Glitter


 
Hello Darlings!

Before I even get into this post, please excuse my cuticles. I had done some hard yard work earlier in the day, which included digging up a palm tree. If you know anything about palm trees you know they are a complete pain in the tucka to dig up because their roots go really far down. AND since it had been raining for the past week the ground was still sopping wet, I wound up digging through mud. So you can tell, it was totally fun... I actually had fun doing it hah, but really it took me about 30-45 minutes trying to dig up the roots to get it out! Then I had to cut roots from another tree.. okay see, off topic. Let's get back onto why you are here!

Nubar's Green/Silver Glitter (unique name no?) was one of the polishes that I picked up from Premiere Orlando. I just HAD to have it, I knew if I didn't purchase it I would have regretted it instantly. Let me just say, now that is it on my nails I am so glad I did!
Look at how absolutely gorgeous this polish is!
You can see just how packed this is with green and silver glitter, not to mention the sheer amount of holographic glitter! It's all finely milled so it doesn't leave you with that textured effect, which is nice.

I wanted to capture the silver aspect of this polish, because it can get a little lost BUT it does appear depending on how you hold your hands in the light, which is nice!
The one thing I definitely love about this polish is the fact that is looks like it is JUMPING off of your nails! It is that sparkly and holographic. No lie. You have to buy this for yourself just to be able to see it. The jumping off of your nails aspect of it, wouldn't capture in pictures or video. *sad face*
This is a scattered holographic polish, but it does look linear in the bottle, but it's not when you put it on the nails, which I don't mind. It would be gorgeous if it was linear anyways.

This is 3 coats over OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener with two coats of Nubar Diamont Seal & Top coat.
Since this is a glitter polish, it isn't that easy to remove. I would suggest doing the glue thing that people are doing (?) I've never tried it but people keep telling me about it. I just take it off by wrapping my finger in aluminum foil, with a cotton ball soaked in remover of course.

I know this video is totally out of focus but it was the only way to capture the complete awesomeness of it. And I still wasn't able to capture it all! (I forgot to turn my phone sideways to make it full screen... can you tell it's the first time I used the camera? Lol)
I really love this nail polish like I said before, it is absolutely fantastic! and so gorgeous!
You can purchase Nubar from their website bynubar.com This polish retails for $8, like the rest of Nubar polishes. You can purchase Green/Silver Glitter HERE

Sidenote, I was going to do this as a comparison post with ORLY Sparkling Garbage, but I did not get one good picture of Sparkling Garbage earlier when I was taking pictures and I lost sunlight. BUT I can tell you that Sparkling Garbage is a darker green polish, it is also more linear than GSG is. I love both of them.

GIGANTIC Nail Polish Haul!! *updated*

Hello everyone!

Before I even get into this post I want to tell you that I am so sorry I am so behind! When we went to Orlando for 3 days we were SUPPOSED TO have Wifi in the room and there was NONE. I will be damned if I am going to sit in the lobby for hours with weird people watching me. Trust me it KILLED me not being able to interact and blog like I wanted! :( BUT I am going to get back into the groove! Unfortunately as well I'm going to have to stop the FOTD Challenge. I really don't want too but with moving then having no internet to do posts I am about 2 weeks behind and I wont be able to make those days up. It stinks!

Since I was working Premiere for the brand Olivia Garden I KNEW I was going to have Sunday off because I had a CVS Nuance party with ClumpsOfMascara. Corrinne from GalacticLacquer and I decided that on Sunday before the party we were going to SHOP! Let me tell you, this girl is amazing for one, but she was also a bad influence, but in a VERY good way hah. She influenced a chunk of the polishes that I bought. Haha which is A-OK with me! But lets get into the polishes! (there are ALOT) All of these polishes were on amazing deals for Premiere. I'll tell you the prices, but honestly don't expect to find them at these prices unless you go to a beauty trade show like this

The first polish I have to show you is from Trind. This brand of polish comes from Holland. It also happens that they were giving this color away. None of their polishes have names but the label says CC116

This purchase was DEFINITELY influenced by Corrinne 100%. I probably would have not bought it if she wasn't there actually.
Nail Envy & Avoplex Cuticle Oil $8 for the set.
