I Luv Denim by Tip Top Nails Review

Hey Lovelies! Today I have 2 gorgeous blue swatches to show you from Tip Top Rikki Brest in I Luv Denim! I Luv Denim comes with a light blue and dark blue polish all on one tube. I applied 1 coat of each color.

I loved how these two polishes can be applied with only one coat and have wonderful coverage! These polishes dry within minuets and dry with almost a matte like finish. I am in love with the darker blue! 

  

Where can you find them?

31 Day Challenge! Day 2- Orange Nails

Hey Lovelies! It's day 2 of the 31 Day Challenge and the lucky color today is orange! For this look I did 2 coats of China Glaze Riveting and sealed it in with a coat of Seche Vite. I am in love with this fiery orange with a gold simmer color. I tried this color out on my toes a few weeks ago and I about died when I put it on! It's so gorgeous!

First Attempt At Nail Polish Jewelry

Hey Lovelies! Today's post is featuring three necklaces that I made. I bought the supplies at Pat Catans and I will be making a step by step video tutorial as soon as I order the pendents that I want. I just wanted to get my feet wet with these three pendants to see if I liked the look and boy oh boy do I ever! 

4 coats of China Glaze Agro

4 coats of OPI DS Extravagance

1 coat of China Glaze Electrify first and then 3 coats of China Glaze Harvest Moon

How To Clean Up Your Nails

Hey Lovelies! Lately I have had tons of people ask me how I clean up my nails so here is a video that I put together to show you my process. I hope you all enjoy this video! Comment below and tell me what other kinds of tutorials or looks you would like me to make videos on. 

Neon Gradient Leopard Print

Hey Lovelies! Today I used the whole China Glaze Poolside Collection to create this awesome 80's gradient leopard print look. First I did one coat of Wet n' Wild's Break The Ice and then on my pointer finger I used Flip Flop Fantasy and Towel Boy Toy. On my middle finger I used Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and Kiwi Cool-Ada. On my ring finger I used Sun Worshiper and Pool Party. Finally on my pinky finger I used Kiwi Cool-Ada and Towel Boy Toy. For the leopard print I used Wet n' Wild's Black Creme and White French Creme. If you would like to learn how I create my leopard print nails then check out my Funky Leopard Print Nails + Tutorial. 

If you think these are awesome then please swing over to Pink Tattoo's Facebook Page and vote for my entry in her contest that is going on now. Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday Fun Day!!!! 

What's Your Name?

Hey Lovelies! Today's look is awesome for Fall or cool days like today! I started off with 2 coats of Sinful Colors What's Your Name? and then went in Konad Special Polish in White and stamped MASH plate 46.I am in love with how dark this polish is and the gorgeous blue and purple shimmer! 

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away!

Hey Lovelies! For today's mani I started out with 1 coat of Tip Top Nail Chic in Raspberry Cream and then layered NYC's Broadway Burgundy Frost on top. For the apple leaf I used NYC's Big Money Frost and for the stem I used Essie's Very Structured. 

Don't forget to eat your apple today ;) Have a wonderful Friday! 

Try It On Tuesday

Hey Lovelies! For today's TIOT I broke out Avon's Tweed Tweed and Funky Fingers Confetti. I started out with two coats of Tweed Tweed and then applied one coat of Confetti and sealed it all in with Seche Vite. 

Tweed Tweed is such a beautiful deep burgundy with a wonderful glossy cream finish. I love Funky Fingers Confetti but I hate the way it applies. All the glitter wanted to migrate to the same area and wouldn't spread out evenly. I hope you all are having a wonderful week! 

Mani Monday: Purple Glam

Hey Lovelies! For today's look I started out with 1 coat of Sinful Colors Amethyst and then 1 coat of China Glaze Crackle in the color Glam-more.

I am in love with how this look came out! From far away it looks like I have these awesome purple intense glitter nails but then when you look close you can see that it has the beautiful detail of the crackle polish.
