Ruffian Mani with some Bling - Guest Post by Tricia


Today Tricia is bringing you some more of her beautiful nail art. This is a Ruffian Manicure with some extra bling added. I am just learning how to do some forms of nail art and hope to bring you some in the future.

1) Paint nail with black polish
2) Using silver striper paint the deep smile line as a guide
3) Fill in with silver polish to cover desired area
4) While silver polish is still wet apply silver holographic foil flakes
5) Finish with sealer




Items used:
Color club- Where's The Soiree (a very pigmented Black)
Art Club- solid silver nail striper
Color club- Sex Symbol
Art club- Silver Ice Pieces(silver Holographic foil/mylar flakes)
Art club- sealer
(On natural nails, I would definitely use a base coat for a longer lasting manicure)
NOTE: Sex symbol is a silver glitter polish, I had to use 2 coats to get full coverage. I used that silver because my solid silver was broken.If using a solid silver polish, 1 coat would be good, since it just creates a background for the foil flakes. I plan on doing this same design using Gold polish with gold foil flakes to see which I like better. The art club foil flakes are sold at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Dior Psychedelic Orange Review - Dior Day Blogger Linkup

Image
Hi Everyone! I am back to blogging finally!  Thanks for all your patience through a very rough time in my life.  Back in July 2013, I flew to Las Vegas for Cosmoprof North America.  One of my favorite things to do after the show was to go shopping at The Forums Shops At Caesars .  One of the first shops I went into was Dior, I was hooked immediately.  I did not have any Dior Beauty products so I purchased my first polish, Psychedelic Orange and a lip pencil to match.  Since then, my Dior collection has increased by 2 or 3 more polishes and a Gel Top Coat which I love! I chose today to finally show you this polish because a group of bloggers are linking together for Dior Day Blogger Linkup.  Psychedelic Orange is almost a jellish cream polish.  I used 3 coats above and you can still see a little VNL, but this doesn't bother me one bit.  Even though it didn't need it I did top it with one coat of the Dior Gel Coat, which is my favorite top coat...

Nfu-Oh Aqua Base...Worth it? Necessary?

Image
Tonight I was doing swatches of some holographic polishes that I haven't tried yet. Nfu-Oh's, Essences from Europe and BK's from Hong Kong. And the question that keeps coming up, is the Nfu-Oh Aqua Base really necessary? Isn't there a cheaper easier to access brand available? I've seen this asked more than anything else recently and it even came up in our Nail Polish and Gossip Group on Facebook. I'm going to let you answer this question for yourself, here are pictures I took, all using Nfu-Oh #66 Green Holographic polish. On the first picture, on my thumb, middle and pinky finger, I used the Nfu-Oh Aqua base coat, on the ring and pointer finger I used another well known brand of base coat. This is one coat of polish and I didn't clean up since I was taking it right back off. You can click the pictures to enlarge. I only used one coat, I didn't want to waste any more of this beautiful polish, but you can tell it does not play well with...
