Pretty & Polished Party On My Yacht

Today I have my oldest & my favorite indie polish, Pretty & Polished Party On My Yacht. I bought it when the indies craze just arrived & I remember being so excited because this was my first glitter jelly. 

Yes I know I did a white manicure before this, but I can't seem to get over soft, flowy spring colors & this is no exception. Set in a white base with multicolored sprinkles of hexagonal glitter & blue bar glitter, the combination may seem simple & understated, but the result is a big splash of colors, it's name is fitting, as it reminds me of multitude of bikinis, just partying away on a big white yacht. 

I'm wearing it at 3 coats, although I think 2 coats would be fine. Dainty, with a hint of fun, & definitely not girly, I think this is honestly one of the best indie polishes I have.

Spring Watercolor Nails

I haven't yet apologized for my sporadic posting in the last few months. I'm so sorry guys, I was swamped with my studies & personal problems, there wasn't this urge to blog. Anyway, I'm done with school & am currently on holiday so expect more posts!

Spring is officially here! My favorite season of the year, with gorgeous pastel colors & amazing fashion lines, plus flowers & green everywhere, I am nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement. If only I didn't live in a tropical country. I would trade the sweltering heat for anything. Anyone? So, my nail art drew inspiration from some fashion lines this season, soft with a touch of color. 

I achieved this look using The Face Shop's Check It set, which contains a trio of soft pastel tones in blue, yellow & pink.

After lightly brushing on the strokes on the tip of my nail, I softened the whole look using a brush dipped in acetone to create the watercolor effect. 

Born Pretty Store: Glequins

So recently Born Pretty Store sent me some glequins for review! It's actually my first time receiving them so I really didn't know what to expect :O Glequins are basically loose sequin like glitters that are used for nail art. I may post a tutorial for those who are interested, just leave a comment below & I'll get right to it!

This was my first attempt so it's a little messy :( It's incredibly fun to do though, and so shiny <3 I decided to do glequin nail gaps & an accent nail because hey glequins.

The base color is from Essence's Grumpy from the Snow White collection, it's a gorgeous royal blue jelly that applies smoothly. >_< It's currently my favorite blue!

Anyway Born Pretty Store was sweet enough to include a discount coupon, which can be found in my sidebar or below for 10% off. They have free international shipping & their items are incredibly cheap :D I spend my hours in school perusing their selection of items & wishing I could have more.
