Snow Coat, Snow Boots, Snow Problems

 Purchased By Me / Giveaway Prize 

Happy Monday guys, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I have a swatch for you, so let's get to it.

3 coats plus top coat/matte top coat on ring finger:

Meet Snow Coat, Snow Boots, Snow Problems by Noodles Nail Polish. It's a stunning blue-green emerald jelly with silver holo snowflakes, and silver/blue holo hexes in various sizes. I can't begin to tell you how much I love this one. The color is just so wonderful, and it definitely stands out in my polish collection. It applied nicely, but I did have to swish the brush around the bottle to get the snowflakes out, even after I turned the bottle upside down. Honestly though, it doesn't bug me that much because the polish is still so pretty on the nail without the snowflakes. The pictures show 3 coats plus top coat and matte top coat on my ring finger.

Glossy/Matte Comparison:

It looks great matte as well, I love it.

Well I hope you guys liked the swatch. Thank you for stopping by and until next time.

A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: Rainbow Tribal

 Purchased By Me / Giveaway Prize / Press Sample 

Happy Thursday guys, today I bring you another colorful mani. This week's theme for A Weekly Dose of Rainbows was Rainbow Tribal, so I decided to do a rainbow gradient under the tribal design. Not only did I use the rainbow colors to do the gradient, but they're holo, which adds another beautiful rainbow. Check it out.

I started off with a coat of my "yellow" sandy polish and let that dry. Then, I proceeded to apply my colors on the sponge and dabbed it on my nails, 2 coats on each nail. Since I was going to use vinyls, I added some top coat and waited a while until it was fully dry. Afterwards, I applied the vinyls and then sponged on black polish over them. One by one I did this on my nails, and I removed the vinyls right away when the polish was still wet. All that was left to do was finish with top coat after the black polish dried.

Close-Ups:

So what do you think? I pretty much fell in love with the gradient alone, but the tribal was still pretty cool. The only thing that I messed up was the placement of the vinyl on my middle finger, it came out all crooked which kinda messed up the mani for me. Other than that I was really pleased with the design. Oh, and my sister wanted to see these matte, so you get to see them too.

Close-Ups:

Well I hope you guys liked this mani. Thank you for stopping by, and until next time.
