Laquerlicious Salt Water

Good morning Lovelies! Happy Saturday! No news here, since my mom's appointment is actually on Monday. Could've sworn it was yesterday, but my mind is sorta jumbled lately.

Today I have one of the most beautiful glitters in my collection to share with you. I've already shown you 2 amazing glitters from Laquerlicious (Ember Glow and Indigo Storm), but for some reason this one is my very favorite. Salt Water is an unbelievably beautiful mix of  large teal hex glitter, medium holo teal square glitter, small teal hex glitter, tiny teal hex glitter, medium white hex, medium white square, and small white matte square in a clear base. That sounds like a LOT of glitter, right? Michelle has mixed this so that the glitter isn't overwhelming. It's a perfect mix, and reminds me of tropical ocean waters. It also kinda makes me want to grab a lawnchair, a margarita, and a pool boy with a fan. ;)

The moment I unwrapped this glitter I knew that I absolutely needed to layer this over China Glaze For Audrey (any excuse to wear For Audrey is a good one, right?).  The result was one of my very favorite manicures ever. It's not flashy or in your face, but instead simply beautiful and sparkly. I could not keep my eyes off of my nails!

This is a single coat of Salt Water over For Audrey, topped with SV.

I am simply in awe of this glitter. I cannot get over just how utterly perfect his mix of colors is! LOVE!!!!!

Formula:
Salt Water's formula was fabulous! Consistency was perfection - thick while never being goopy or gloppy.

Application:
Like buttah! I had no issues with this glitter at all.The brush delivered the perfect amount of glitter without having to fish for any of the larger hexes. There was no dragging, chasing glitter around my nails or clumping at the tips. Despite being a chunky glitter, I needed only 1 coat of my usual top coat. The glitters lay perfectly flat on the nail with no assistance.

I cannot rave about Salt Water enough!. I love Laquerlicious polish anyway (I am seriously  huge fan and would own them all if I had more money to spare), but if you only try out one of her creations, make it this one!!

All Laquerlicious creations are 3-Free and available via LaquerliciousUnity on Etsy. Full size bottles retial for $8.50, and there are a ton of polishes on sale right now! Go forth and check it out!

What do you think of Salt Water? Are you as in love with this awesome glitter as I am??

I do have some more Polish TBH and Twenty Seven Polish coming up soon! Wait until you guys see these beauties!

Thanks for stopping by and HappyPolishing!!

Classic Color: China Glaze For Audrey

Good Morning, Ladies! Happy Sunday! Tomorrow is the first day of The 31 Day Challenge, round 2 (for me!). I'm so excited to start! There's still time to join in. Just leave me a comment and I'll add you to the list. :)

Today I am sharing a polish that need no introduction. I know you guys have seen this color on every blog under the sun, but I just had to wear this as my last mani before the 31 Day Challenge begins. Actually, I lie, since I'm actually wearing Nfu Oh 51 at the moment, but I've shown that polish twice now.

I love For Audrey. I've wanted this girl forever. Every time I decided to give in and buy it, as is my luck out here in NM, it was out of stock. I finally found her at Sally's while picking up some of the New Bohemian Luster Chromes. Yay!

This polish doesn't need a lot of words, we all know it's glorious, so let's just bask in its glory!

Details:
1 coat OPI Nail Envy Matte
2 coats For Audrey
1 coat Seche Vite

Lots of pics, because this polish is so very drool-worthy. I would marry this polish. Or at the very least, take it out for a nice dinner and a movie. Please forgive the abundance of cuticle oil. My hands were terrifyingly dry from lots of handwashing. So dry they hurt, so they got slathered with all sorts of moisture. :) My top coat bubbled a bit too. I forgot to restore my SV before using it. Boooooooo me!

*Swoon*! Oh yes, I am in love. I loved this so much, that I wanted to wear it for a loooong time. So I'm wearing it as a pedi at the moment. I will wear this again, probably with a gradient. I apologize in advance for showing it twice, but can you really blame me?

Formula:
My bottle was a touch thick, but nothing a few drops of thinner couldn't handle. This was lovely and buttery after the thinner.

Application:
A bit streaky on the first coat, but she evens out like a dream. No issues with balding, dragging, or gooping. So close to perfection!

This is definitely on my must have list. In fact, if I had to choose one polish to wear forever, I'd be hard pressed to choose between For Audrey and Nfu Oh 51, but this girl just might win. I'm that in love.

What is your must have polish?

Thanks for dropping by and as always, Happy Polishing!

vintage roses con moÑo acrilico mini tutorial

hola!!!!'
Este disenio lo he querido hacer desde hace un tiempo pero ya ven que cuando uno es mama no hay mucho tiempo para otras cosas, les cuento que he ewtado aprendiendo mucho, buscando nuevas formas de seguir en este mundo de las UÑAS tan bonito, para mi esto es arte al igual que los que pintan cuadros o los que hacen musica, ya decidi poner un nuevo gadget que es para poner foto y decidi usarlo para ponerles la foto de como lucen mis unias en tiempo real.

El disenio de vintage roses lo he visto mucho en youtube pero esto ya me lo venia imaginando desde hace tiempo cuando vi la pelicula de marie antoinette la reina de francia que fue muy odiada :s, en fin esa pelicula en la ke sale kirsten dunst me inspiro porque al inicio cuando la reina es muy joven como de 14 anios salen muchos colores pastel y salen las paredes de versalles con este tipo de decoracion.

El monio acrilico rosa lo hice con un rosa neon de la marca perfection by republic nail, es de las primeras cosas que hago en 3d con acrilico asi que tal vez no se ve perfecto lol, ahhh y por fin pude usar mi tan esperado esmalte ''for audrey'' de china glaze que ha sido uno de mis primeros esmaltes en mi wish list (lista de los deseos que esta en el menu de arriba), las rosas son super sencillas, es un disenio muy femenino y delicado.

Tambien me hice un disenio de unias en los pies con el mismo esmalte de for audrey, ese disenio lo vi en un blog no recuerdo cual pero me gusto porque se me hizo parecido a las cajas de tiffanny's & co.

Aqui estan las fotos:

 opi ''steady as she rose'', china glaze ''for audrey'', sally hansen ''green with envy'', sinful colors ''beautiful girl'' y republic nail estilografo blanco

 pegamento para unias de beauty secrets para pegar el monio de acrilico

 para hacer las rosas solo hay que dibujar con esmalte rosa un circulo ligeramente irregular, despues delinear con estilografo o con un pincel delgado en tono blanco e ir como haciendo los petalos, ya despues solo se agregan petalitos para simular hojas en tono verde y listo!!
