Sinful Colors Nirvana & Nailtini Millionaire

Hi there!
Besides looking for a steady job, I've been trying to stop procrastinating when it comes to crop & watermark pictures.  I love to blog but the picture part gets a bit annoying when you take 10,000 pics but you barely like one or two :(

In Puerto Rico, Spring & Summer is basically the same thing.  The seasons call for bright colors, but I can't help reach for something darker and rich like Nirvana!  I love how with colors like Nirvana you can go from elegant to sexy in a minute.

While looking for ideas on how to pair Millionaire with another polish, I came across this Chalkboard Nails look and decided to replicate it.

In real life Nirvana is darker than how it looks on this pictures

I'm thinking next time I'll pair Millionaire with China Glaze Trendsetter...What do you think?

Kleancolor: Holo Green

Despite how it looks on this pictures, Holo Green is a bit paler in real life; like the pastel version of a holo so whats not to love about it! :)

Glitters and holo usually dries fast but Kleancolor polish base is on the thick side, this one takes a little longer.  Here I did 3 coats on itself but bet it looks prettier layered over a darker base.  It has a grainy texture so I recommend doing two coats of topcoat but! be sure the polish is completely dry to avoid shrinkage (specially with Seche Vite)

Oh, Hi there March!

I welcome you with a cool pairing!  

Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal over Sinful Colors Exotic Green

The only Teal bit of this Kleancolor polish is the base color, but still, its super pretty and fun to play with, depending on the polish you layer it on.

China Glaze No Plain Jane + stripes & a bow

Here is another polish from the Bohemian Collection.  To me, the name does not go along with the shade, because it is the Plain Jane from all.  Still, its a pretty metallic purple.  It is more on the sheer side; I did 2 coats and after taking the pictures thought I should have done one more.  Next time I'll layer it over black or grey to see if it pumps the duochrome properties.

To make it a tad more fancy, added a lil' something using my striping tape.  On my ring finger only made a thin line with Color Club Wild at Heart . Then inverted the pattern using and adding Kleancolor Grand Finale [holo bar glitter] in the middle.

cute blue bow ring from Forever21 :)

Pimping up a simple but already sparkly manicure

This manicure went trough three steps: single color - layering and finally a flashy revamp!
For this look, next day I layered two more coats of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Chrome, then added purple diamond-shaped glitters and a stick-on flower decal on my ring finger.

Layering Kleancolor Chunky Holo Chrome over LA Colors Metallic Red

I now I'm not alone on this: can't sport just one color on my nails.  I will paint them in a single color because I don't like to leave then naked and then ideas starts to flow, next thing I now there are a ton on things going on.

This time after swatching LA Colors Metallic Red I decided to layer Kleancolor Chunky Holo Chrome over it.  The look is quite simple but fun.  It reminds me of confetti :)

This story will continue...knew I had to pimp this mani a bit more!

Kleancolor Holo Chrome

I want to thank my sister-in-law Glenda for letting me paint her nails and voluntarily take pictures of it for the blog.  Her camera is better than mine and was able to catch most of Kleancolor Holo Chrome's beauty-- a purple jelly dream with lots of holographic goodness...mmm jelly...hahaha!

 I did her mani in a hurry because I took a break before going back to study.  I decided to use China Glaze Señorita Bonita as a base and added a white bow decal in each ring finger has an accent.  Simple and cute :)

now some bottle shots

My nails are naked now, I wanted to do some green manis in honor of my upcoming birthday but I'm tempted to wear this beauty.

Claire's Glitter Top Coat

If you see this nail polish at Claire's, don't the name foul you! Its name is simple: glitter top coat, but there is much more.  Its a cool holographic glitter and even tho it says is a topcoat, its dense enough to give you nice coverage with 2 coats, but I used 3 to make it even more intense.

My recommendation is to use it without a base coat if you are going to wear it alone, the base coat will cause uneven coverage. Because the glitters are tiny there not much of a bumpy finish to it, but anyway I applied 2 coats of clear top coat. It lasted nearly 2 weeks! and even got lots of compliments, even from a bartender LoL. It was easy to take off, I just let a cotton ball with remover sit on the nail for a less than a minute and the polish peeled off. 

I wish I had a better camera to capture this polish beauty!  This is my first holographic nail polish, haven't been able to find any other affordable alternatives :(

and having fun in the dark with my nails and cellphone :P
