Butter London Boho Rock Collection Swatches - Goss and Keen

Press Sample

Hi guys! Today I have two polishes from the recent Butter London Boho Rock Collection to show you.
These two shades are gorgeous and extremely wearable, I hope you guy enjoy the swatches!


Goss - Two coats.

Goss is an elegant rose gold metallic foil polish.

The formula on Goss wasn't bad, you have to apply slowly and smoothly in order to avoid brushstrokes.
I really love it and I can't wait to try it with stamping plates! I don't have another rose gold metallic in my collection.


Keen - Three coats.

Keen is a really pretty delicate peach creme polish.

Keen applied good, it was a little streaky but nothing difficult.
It's a really nice peachy nude polish and I really liked it on me!

Colors by Llarowe Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Purchased By Me

Hey guys! Today's post is just a quick one, I have been slacking so bad lately D:
I received my Llarowe purchase the other day, with my first CBL polishes in it!
I have been wanting to try them for ages and I finally broke down and bought a few!

And I just had to put this baby on right away!
Below is two coats of CBL Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.



The formula was a little thick which was unexpected, I was expecting it to be thinner like normal jelly polishes.
But it still applied really nicely and I didn't have any issues with it. Easy peasy!
I was happy to find out that the removal was the same, super easy.
It does dry the tiniest bit gritty and I found that for pictures it looked best with two coats of topcoat.
The first photo only has one and you can tell that it looks less smooth than photos 2 & 3.
It was not noticeable in person at all though. I'm really impressed with this polish and I can't wait to try the other 3 I bought!


I hope you guys all have had a wonderful weekend!
Did anybody do anything fun for Valentine's Day?

Press Sample

Hey guys! Today's post is featuring the Contrary Polish from the March Mardi Gras themed A Box, Indied.
Bal Masque is available solely through the March A Box, Indied. Read more about A Box, Indied below.


Bal Masque 

Bal Masque is kind of a dusty cornflower blue with a tinge of purple, filled with golden microflake shimmer.

Bal Masque has a really great formula, it goes on very smooth and evenly.
It's a bit sheer and requires three coats for opacity, but it's also layerable. I wore it built up on it's own.


Macro gorgeousness :D

OPI Gwen Stefani Skittle Nail Art

Press Sample

Hi all! Today's post is of a nail art skittle manicure I did using some polishes form the OPI Gwen Stefani collection.
I posted my review & swatches on the blog yesterday, you can check it out here!

You can see a breakdown of what I did to each nail below! Hope you guys like it!

Pointer

For this nail I started off with 4 In The Morning, then I added on a large diamond stud from the Over & Over A-Gwen set.
I used a little too much glue and the excess is a little noticeable in the pictures but it wasn't in person.

Middle

On this nail I used Love.Angel.Music.Baby. as the base color and using I Sing In Color and Over and Over A-Gwen .
I free-handed the leopard print with a dotting tool.

Ring

For this nail I used a nail art brush and Over and Over A-Gwen & 4 In the Morning to do a sort of color block manicure. Then I added six black crystals from the Over and Over A-Gwen set.  It looks a little funky top putting topcoat over it, so I guess maybe you shouldn't topcoat over studs and gems? I don't really use them enough to know these things! : /

Pinky

The pinky nail has I Sing In Color as the base coat and then I framed it with Love.Angel.Music.Baby.
Then I added a single gold stud again from the Over and Over A-Gwen set!

______________________________________________________

I think the Over & Over A-Gwen boxed set is a really fun starter kit for those you want to try out nail art with gems and studs! It's a nice way to try out different kinds without having to buy a ton of each without knowing if you'll like them or not.
Not to mention the perfect formula of Over & Over A-Gwen! The Over & Over A-Gwen boxed set retails for $14.95.

And a completely random side note - I just finished Dexter yesterday. I don't even know how I feel right now D:
Season 8 seemed all over the place, I still love the show though. I stopped watching it a few seasons ago and caught up when I realized that it's on Netflix. What should I watch now?!?? lol Also I can't believe that it's February!
