Essie Abstract Nail Art

Hey Dolls!

Sharing an Essie Abstract mani with you today!  I did it a little different this time, getting inspiration from a nail pic I found on Pinterest.

I used all Essie polishes for this look, Sweet Souffle, Licorice, Where's My Chauffeur, Bump up the Pumps, Go Ginza and Urban Jungle.  I added a few black dots and gold flakes as always.

Hope you are all staying safe at home.

Sally Hansen Drip Marble

Samples

Hello Loves!

I have a Sally Hansen Drip Marble to share with you.  I made this Drip Marble in the morning yesterday and it was dry and ready to use after about 4 hours.

I used all Sally Hansen polishes for this Drip Marble.  My pointer finger is Freesia Fancy and my pinkie nail is Blacky-O.  For the drip marble I used those two polishes as well as Terra-Coppa, Five Golden Blings and Ivory Skull.  Of course, I added some gold flakes to finish off the look.

If you want to know how I make my Drip Marble Manis, check out my post here.

Have a great day loves and stay safe,

Essie Partner In Crime

Hey Dolls

I picked up the gorgeous Essie Partner In Crime on sale the other day.  I don't have anything like this in my collection, I have quite a few nudes, and some browns with shimmer, but no dark brown creams.

Partner in Crime is pretty much a one coater, it has an amazing, buttery formula.

I had to add a coat of Sephora's It's Real 18K Gold Top Coat.  I love how this looks together.

Pink Week Breast Cancer Awareness, Essie Better Together with Gold Flakes

Hey Dolls

 

Today is the last day of Pink Mani Week for Breast Cancer Awareness.  I really learned a lot this week about breast cancer, and I hope you did too.

 

For my last mani, I started with Finger Paints Pink Imagination.  I added a coat of Sephora By OPI, It's Real 18K Gold Top Coat, and then a layer of Essie Better Together overtop.  I love the end result, so soft and pretty.

 

And the last fact on Breast Cancer.  I really hope these have been helpful for you ladies.



Gold Leaf Topcoat

There are a few swatches going around that have gotten me OBSESSED with gold leaf topcoats!  This one by Ash from Art Evolve, and this one from Polish Amor.

 

I cannot seem to find the OPI Man With the Golden Gun topcoat, so I decided to make my own!  I picked up some gold leaf from Micheals, it cost me $6.00.  Now this is a big pain in the butt to make, but the pay off is pretty great!

 

This beautiful soft teal China Glaze is For Audrey.

 

 

This pretty pink is an un-named Sally-girl polish.

 

So this is how the gold leaf came when I bought it.  The best way I have found to make it, is to use a piece of paper and an exacto knife and just slice the leaf into tiny pieces.  It takes some patience!  When I got the pieces small enough, I added about 10 drops of clear polish and swiped the polish over my nail, I did have to dot a few pieces on here and there to get the look I was hoping for.  A generous coat of Seche Vite made it glassy smooth!
