Urban Decay NAKED Nail Polish Set


I recently purchased the UD Naked nail polish set when I seen this gem on the Sephora website. And as a nail polish I have no regrets. This isn't a set to buy to do professional nails but it is a fun set to own if you wanna match your Naked eye makeup to your nails.

The Urban Decay Naked Nail polish set comes with 6 fabulous colors that represent similar shades found in the first UD Naked Palette. The nail polish surprisingly looks ALOT like the palette color and I'm pretty impressed with the overall quality and color match to the actual Naked palette.



 The nail polish shades featured include:
  • Naked
  • Sidecar
  • Smog
  • Toasted
  • Hustle 
  • Creep





Overall I really like this set. Like I said, it isn't for pros but it's perfect for any nail polish lover like myself.


Below are some swatches just in case you decide to purchase a set for yourself! Plus some additional photos of how they compare to the Naked palette!!

(From L to R: Naked, Sidecar, Smog, Toasted, Hustle, Creep)

Nail Inc. Magnetic Polish Review


Another day...another nail polish review.

So recently I caved and brought the Nail inc. Magnetic polish from Sephora. I couldn't help myself...I was shopping alone and no one was there to stop me! ;)



Back to product...I purchased the Nail inc. polish in the color 'Trafalgar Square' for a wallet hurting $16. I was hoping my local Sephora wasn't gonna carry the polish or that they were sold out...but NO they had it, so I had to try one.


The packaging comes with an extra cap that has the magnet on top...with a special indent on the cap as a locator to where to place your nail when using the magnet...As shown in the above picture.






Steps:

1. One coat of a base nail polish...Obviously
2. Apply one LIGHT coat of the magnetic nail polish
3. Let the first coat completely dry then apply another coat
4. From there immediately hover the magnet over the nail for 10 to 15 seconds
5. Lastly apply a top coat!




Pros:
  • Unique --- I personally never heard of or tries magnetic nail polish, so the concept is what drew me into the purchase
  • Perfect for any nail polish lover
  • Cool effect that is hard to replicate 
  • Fun to use :)

Cons:
  • Obviously this product is pricy --- So I wouldn't go nuts and buy more than one
  • Tricky to use --- Takes getting used to hurrying the application and holding the magnet at the right angle

I cannot even begin to explain my excitement for this upcoming collection. I am so ecstatic that OPI has decided to release a Nicki Minaj collection following their previously successful Katy Perry line.

Can't wait! Better start saving.

Shatter for a Cause



Hi Dolls !

Okay...So since getting the Pink Shatter I've been so excited to test out and finally got the chance the other night! I was sad that the pink shatter didn't look good over darker nail polish but I'm not gonna complain because I really liked how this pink and white look turned out. Keep reading if you wanna see how I created this look...

Products Used:

OPI Nail Lacquer
in Pink Shatter
Nailene White
Nail Polish
California Glitter
Nail Polish

*Remember that you can use any similar products already in your collection to create this look*


Steps to create this look:

1. Apply your usual base coat
2. Apply one to two coats of white nail polish --- apply enough to give full coverage
3. Apply a light coat of glittered nail polish --- I used a light silver and pink glitter since we are using pink shatter! :)
4. Paint over your nails a heavy coat of pink shatter for a thick and large shatter effect...or if you're looking to create a thin shatter effect use a light coat of shatter!

Step 2!
Step 3!



Step 4!!
