Zoya: Bubbly Collection is a Rainbow of Awesome!

Heya Guys!!

Recently I found the Zoya Bubbly Collection on sale, and just couldn't resist picking it up. I don't normally pick up entire collections, I am more of a pick and choose what appeals to me, but every polish in this collection just looked so pretty, that I could justify owning the entire thing. I wasn't sure which colour to wear first, so after some major indecision,  I settled on all of them!

To get this look, I started with a base of all the colours in the collection, Jesy (orange) , Harper (pink), Alma (yellow) , Staasi (green), Muse (blue), and Binx (purple/pink). Starting at my thumb (not shown) I painted half the nail in a colour, overlapping just a bit, then painting the second colour on the other half of the nail, and again overlapping a bit. I went across on all my nails like this, to form a gradient rainbow across all my fingers.  I did 2 coats across all my nails. Once that was dry, I stamped my middle and ring fingers with Lily Anna Plate 13 in Cult Nails Nevermore, and used ILNP Pi-Ya-No (the black and white glitter) on my remaining nails.  I then top coated with HK Girl and I was done!

 I really adore how this came out, not only was it super easy to do, thanks to the jelly formula of the bubbly collection which allowed me to just use the polish brush for the gradient, but the stamping also allowed me to have a complicated tape mani look, without all the work! I can already see tons of looks with this collection, and honestly can't wait to try them all out. I think Zoya really hit it out of the park with this collection, and if you don't own any or all of them, you certainly should! The awesome jelly formula gives endless possibilities to nail art!

Alright guys and gals I think that covers it for one day! Has anyone else picked this collection up yet? Which one is your favourite!? I thought Muse would be mine, hands down, but Binx really snuck up on me! Till next time Kittens! <3

ILNP Nostalgia: Swatch and Review

Heya Guys!

Happy Friday! Anyone have any awesome weekend plans?? I don't have anything yet, but hopefully I will before the weekend is out! Today, I am going to be showing off another ILNP polish, this one is Nostalgia.  It is an amazing ulta-chrome polish, that glides onto the nail beautifully, with almost no effort on my part. I have only worn two polishes from this brand, but I can already say I am a huge fan of the ILNP brand.

Alright guys and gals, let's take a look..

Nostalgia's shifts are insane, seriously, as you can see from the photos above it can almost look like an entirely different polish, depending on the light and how you angle your hand. It mostly sits in the burgundy/green/gold colour, but I wanted to include the last photo to really show off how it looks at extreme angels! 

As an added bonus it is wearing  really well. I am on day 3 of wearing this polish,  and I still don't have any chips or any tip wear, although  I did recently switch to HK girl top coat, and I have to say the life of my mani's seemed to have doubled since I started using it. It has become my HG top coat. If you haven't tried HK Girl yet, I highly highly recommend checking it out!

Overall I think this polish is a serious must have for any polish fan, and especially any duochrome/ulta-chrome fan, there is nothing to not love about this polish and so much to love! So, if you don't own this yet, you should! 

Alright, guys and gals, I think that covers it for today, and I really hope everyone has an amazing weekend. Till next time Kittens!

ILNP Cygnus Loop - Swatches and Review

Heya Guys!

Recently I made my first I Love Nail Polish purchase! if you follow me on instagram, where I don't fail and have been making regular updates, then you know about this already. If you don't, well you should be, since I am much more frequent there! :P Either way, I recently bought a few colours, and today I will be showing off Cygnus Loop Holo.

As you can see, there are many, many faces to this polish, Depending on the light, it almost looks like a totally different polish! My light box had a bit of trouble picking up the holo, and since it is February, there wasn't any sun to be had while I wore this, but trust me, the holo is there and much stronger in person. 

I wore this for 3 days and there was no chips, and only slight tip wear when I took it off, so it wore really well, since I am pretty hard on my hands, this is also worn alone, not over a black polish, and only 2 thin coats, so it is a fairly opaque polish. I think it is safe to say, that I finally get all the hype surrounding the ILNP brand, and will almost certainly be picking more up in the future.

Anyway, Happy Tuesday Guys!! Again, I know I have been absent here, I really have no good excuse, just life got in the way, but I am hoping to start posting here frequently again, but if all else fails, you can find me on instagram as I am very frequent there! till next time Kittens! :D
