Nails Inc. Leather Effect in Noho

 Just filed down my nails to cute little nubs & applied Nails Inc. Leather Effect in Noho, which is supposed to mimic the leathery texture. This is my first textured polish & also my first Nails Inc :) I really liked it on both counts.

The formula was easy to apply, unlike other mattes, it didn't dry too fast so that it becomes streaky but it dried fast enough for me to just apply it & head out after. I love the gritty texture of the polish but it doesn't resemble leather... more of a stone path. 

I loved the Nails Inc. brush, it fits perfectly & fans out just right enough to get perfect cuticle lines, I have to get more from this brand. 

Swatches are at 3 coats.

Sunset Gradient

Hi guys! I spotted my entire collection of Orly's Summer Neon Collection 2012 just sitting in my drawer collecting dust so I decided to take them out to play :) I created a sunset like gradient & it turned out pretty well. Love how well the colours blended into each other.

As usual, my camera couldn't capture the neons so I tried tweaking the lighting a little to make it seem a little more saturated. It didn't work a whole lot. Anyone have any tips on capturing neon colours?

Hope you guys like it as much as I did! <3 y'all

  

Pahlish Experimental Methods Collection

Hi guys! Today I have Pahlish's Experimental Methods set swatches! I haven't been exactly had many indies coming in lately & I was really excited to finally get my hand on more creme glitters. These are my first Pahlish polishes so I didn't know what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised <3 

My only teeny complaint was that the packaging did not satisfy me because it left the polishes a little sticky. I hate that dratted stickiness which is really difficult to come off & the residue spoils the pretty logo :( 

Swatches are all at 3 coats & Pahlish polishes are available here.

Warning: Picture heavy post ahead!
