Nails... Silver Halo Sparkle

Today's nails are all about the holo. I am absolutely dying to have completely holographic or shiney chrome nails. While todays nails are neither of the above they definitely sparkle and shine.

I am wearing false nails made from acrylic powder. The nails are covered in a silver glitter that has a holo sparkle. There is a gel coat by CND applied on top of the glitter to create a smooth finish. I applied another silver holo sparkle on top from Gwen Stefani's collection by OPI called In True Stefani Fashion. I also applied another holo glitter polish by OPI's Nicole called Party Bus. I then topped the nail with a gel top coat.

These nails are very simple but truly stand out. Also my nail tech had a couple new gems and decals she wanted to try out so I decided to try this cool rainbow reflect cube. I personally wish the placement was different, and probably should have dressed up with a few more gems but it seems pretty cool none the less.

If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the space provided below. Up next will be fancy chrome nails. I'm super excited and can't wait to rock them.

Nails... Dragon Scales, Mermaid Tails. Fairy Dust, Sparkly Nails

This month I chose to go with a some what more simply designed nail. With that said I am still in love with them. They remind me of dragon scales, no wait mermaids tails, no wait fairy dust, no wait... Theysparkly  and shiney nails are eye catching in any lighting. I love they way they sparkle and shine from any angle.

These nails were created by using a gel coat and them sticking the glitter peices to my nails by either dipping my nail into the glitter or tapping it onto the nail. She used a combanation of glitters. A super fine purple sparkle and some big chunky green glitter peices. The larger glitter has a duo chrome shine basically giving off multiple colors depending on the light and angle you are looking at it from. When you hold a few of these glitter pecies in your hand they actually look purple, so be careful when choosing a color. Looks can be deceiving. My nails were sealed and toped off with another gel coat to make them smooth and shiney.

As always my girl Lynn at Y2K nails in Brampton made these happen. She is fantastic and would recommend her to anyone, but especially those looking to try or do something new. These nails are super fun and really well done. They always last me at least 4 weeks. ( :( I know, I know. Get em filled.)

Next time we will be kickin it a little old school. I plan on getting some 3D art so make sure your looking out for that. If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comment box below.

Nails... Heart's Desire

Today's manicure is call You're Heart's Desire. My nails are acrylic and shaped to a point. The shellac Im wearing is called Heart's Desire by Perfect Match. It is a Mood shellac that changes color based on your nail and body tempature. This perticular shellac changes from a bright cherry red to a dark cherry red. I am absolutely in love with this shade of dark cherry red. I chose this polish in theme of fall and Halloween being right around the corner. Blood splatter to follow... ;)

(My nails are wet in this photo because I had to run them under hot water. They wouldn't stay warm. Lol.)

If you have any questions, comments or halloween nail ideas please leave them in the comment box below.

NARS Dual Intensity Blush- Spring 2015

For Spring 2015, NARS Cosmetics introduces the new Dual-Intensity Blush. Featuring NARS’ exclusive Translucent Prismatic Technology, the newly-imagined formula allows for multi-dimensional effects with a uniquely weightless, luxurious texture. Six modern shade pairings curated by François Nars offer a universal spectrum of hues that works across all skintones. Sweeps on dry for a bold flush or wet for a translucent wash of color. Dry pigments impart a natural glow that warms the complexion and fuses weightlessly. Dampen NARS’ exclusive Wet/Dry Blush Brush before application for a watercolor effect—dab over the apples of the cheeks and swirl in a circular motion to paint on a subtle tint. Designed in a sensorial, soft-touch square case with a modern magnetic closure, six luxuriously embossed duos heighten the art of transformation.

Dual Intensity Blush Duo- $57.00 CND

Adoration- Baby Pink/ Hot Pink (Shimmer)

Craving- Soft Pink/ Light Bronze (Shimmer)

Fervor- Light Pink/ Dark Rose (Shimmer)

Frenzy- Gold/ Bright Orange (Shimmer)

Jubilation- Soft Gold/ Peachy Nude (Shimmer)

Panic- Fuchsia/ Burnt Pink-Orange (Shimmer)

This collection also features a new and very pretty looking blush/contour brush. Although I haven’t been able to find much information or confirm a price for the brush at this time but I’m thinking it’s going to be somewhere around $53.00 CND.

This collection will be available at NARS and Sephora on March 4^th online and in store. It will also be released in department stores April 1^st. These shades will become a permanent part of the NARS collection.

Some of these blushes look absolutely beautiful. I personally look forward to trying Fervor, Frenzy and Jubilation, but out of all the items offered in NARS’ new collection I look forward to trying the new brush the most- It looks like it is going to be a great size for the different contours of the face. 

I hope to have a review on these blush duos soon. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.

Nails... Miso Sparkly

Recently I had my nails filled. I wanted to get my nails painted a shade I didn't usually go with, so I chose OPI's Miso Happy With This Color. After a few days I needed to mix it up a bit and of course add some sparkles.

For more pictures and how I created this look, follow the link below...

China Glaze- Turn't Up Turquoise

This is a simple mani in China Glaze's Turnt Up Turquoise. 
This shade is satin with a beautiful sparkle shimmer. This shade is gorgeous.

 

You will need to apply two coats to get true color. Dry time is pretty average. 
This shade was apart of the Ink Collection (2008).
