Pink Galaxy Nails, Breast Cancer Awareness

Hiya Dolls

 

Day 6 of Pink Week for Breast Cancer Awareness.

 

I gave galaxy nails another go (see my first galaxy nails here).  I started with a base coat of OPI My Very First Knockwurst.  Then I sponged on Zoya Dita, Essie Jamaica Me Crazy, Clinique Pinkini and some plain white.  I added a few white dots and a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust and there you have it, Pink Galaxy Nails!

Twinsie Tuesday You Tube Inspiration

Hiya Dolls

 

For TT this week, we were supposed to get our inspiration from You Tube.  I have wanted to try the Vintage Floral look for a long time, so I knew right away what tutorial I wanted to use. 

 

The tutorial I used was Easy Vintage Floral Nails by Bubzbeauty

 



The six polishes I used for this look are Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Zoya Dita, Barry M Pink Flamingo, China Glaze For Audrey, Orly Prelude To A Kiss and Jealous, Much?

 

This took me so long to do!  I think the end result is rediculously sweet!  I just wish I would have done smaller roses and more of them.

Shimmer Polish Brooklyn

Hiya Dolls

 

I've got a beautiful Shimmer Polish to share with you today.  This is Brooklyn (one of my faves!)

 

 

Brooklyn has large gold hex glitters, with smaller purple and green hexes, all mixed in with micro teal glitter.  For my accent pinky, I have two coats of Brooklyn (with no undies!)  I love how dense the glitters are in all Shimmer polishes.

 

My base is China Glaze Peachy Keen.  Studs are from Claires.

 

 Brooklyn is really versatile, I feel like it could go with any polish!

 

 

Shimmer polishes can be purchased on Etsy here or on the website www.shimmyshimmer.com

 



Black Glitter Skittles

Hiya

 

I have been loving the swatches of Illamasqua Speckled everywhere lately!  I don't have access to this brand nearby, so I imitated it with the polishes that I had on hand. 

 

The black glitter is L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Uninhibited.  Uninhibited has tiny black glitter and medium sized black hex glitter.  It is super jam packed with the glitters, so i had to dab it on rather than swipe.

 

Each nail has a base color, one coat of glitter and then they all have a coat of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu over top.  On my pointer is Revlon Dreamer. Middle finger is Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth. Ring finger is OPI My Very First Knockwurst, and my pinky is Color Club Blue-ming.

 

 

I was so excited when I saw this next polish by Love & Beauty (Forever 21) but once it was on, I didn't really love it.  Rose/Red (such a dull name) felt very chunky on my nails.  My base coat is Zoya Dita, and while this IS a gorgeous pink, I think I should have used a different color.  Rose/Red has a lot of different glitters going on!  It has lots of multi-sized irridescent shards, small silver glitter, red square glitters and large red hearts.
