Gavie Green Swatch and Review

Hey everybody:) Today I have for y'all Chick's Gavie Green! Gavie Geen was sent to me for my review by The Beauty Clutch.

Gavie Green is a bright emerald green shimmer that dries to a matte finish. You can use top coat over it to make it glossy or leave it as a matte color. I needed to use two coats with this polish. Chick polish is vegan friendly and Big 3 Free. I used a top coat on my nails for these photos, I really thought it brought out the shimmer and made it look more summery! 
Here are my pictures!

Overall thoughts on Gavie Green are I love the color, went on smooth and didn't really care for the matte look with this polish so I added a top coat. Head on over to The Beauty Clutch and pick Gavie Green up and maybe a few more (all orders over $55 get free shipping!). Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of Gavie Green:)

Flicker Swatch and Review

Hey everybody:) Today I have a great Chick polish for y'all! Chick's Flicker was sent to me for review by The Beauty Clutch  FYI The Beauty Clutch offers free shipping on all orders over $55 and has tons of great polishes like OPI, Chick, BB Couture, Essie (the list could go on and on).

Flicker is a medium pink cream polish. Chick polish is vegan friendly and Big 3 Free! Flicker went on very smooth and was a one coat polish ( I did use 2 on my mani for my photos). The polish in person looks a little darker than the photos I've seen and it sitting on my desk it looks almost like a magenta(almost). I think this polish is great for the people who want that bright neon look but with out the "shock" factor of neon. Here are my pictures!

My overall thoughts on this polish, love! If you are looking for a polish that is bright for the summer, is vegan friendly and Big 3 Free, and is super pretty this is the polish for you! The Beauty Clutch has not only this color but tons of colors to chose from! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of Flicker!

Holographic Quick Shot...Not in this Galaxy

Hi all today's quick shot is Not In This Galaxy which is the last color I have to show you in the China Glaze Hologlam Collection.

Such a Pretty pink! <3 I hope even has a great day!

Palm Tree Tutorial

Hey everybody! Today I have an awesome and easy way to dress up those summer beach manis..... Palm Trees! This tutorial is easy and really just takes 4 steps to making the perfect palm tree mani.

Step 1  Super easy, start off with any summer color. I just happen to have a summer ombre on when I wanted to do these. In my ombre I used China Glaze Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Sun Worshiper.

Step 2 is a couple of simple lines going from right to left. This gives you a base to start your palm tree and gives you the illusion of water.

Step 3 is the trunk of the palm tree. If you look at pictures of palm trees near the water the trunks are always curved, and doing this in the mani makes it look better than a straight line going up and down.

Step 4 is placing the palm leaves. This may take a little practice, just keep in mind that you need to do a slight curve in the leaves. I start from the trunk and pull my brush out.

















That was super easy! Here is a shot of the final mani ♥

I love this look so much! This really looks great as a pedi♥  Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!

NEON water marble!

Hi all! Today I have for you a NEON water marble! I don't think everyone could possibly know how happy I was to find that I could wm with these colors! I absolutely love neon's in the summer and wanted to do a wm many times with them. You see or may know that neon's dry fast and don't wm well v_v sad face! I tried this combo of China Glaze's Orange Knockout and Celtic Sun (with a base of white). Now seeing the pictures my camera decided to wig out >.< but I think I'll use a base of White with Celtic Sun on top then wm next time I try this so there aren't as many patches with the color (from polish being to thin in areas or just me messing it up with the line up of my tape). 

I really loved this and might just give my neon's a try again for water marbling.
I hope you liked it and will give it a try!

Holographic Quick Shot...OMG A UFO

Hi all for today I have for you OMG A UFO from China Glaze's Hologlam Collection. 

A pretty green with a great holo that shines outside!

Butterfly Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everybody! Today I have a butterfly nail art tutorial for y'all :) This is a great way to extend the life of a favorite mani or just add a little zing to a mani.


Step 1: Have a great mani on! I have on a

halo ombre. I used Color Club Blue Heaven and Over the moon, I also used Glitter Gal Marine Blue.




















Step 2: Start painting your lines. The first line

goes from the middle bottom around to the center middle. Like a quarter circle.





















Step 3: Add your other lines. I added my middle

first, straight through the quarter circle I just made and almost all the way to the end of my nail. And the I added the other lines.




















Step 4: Next you want to curve the top of the

 lines. This should give you 4 sections on the top.






















Step 5: This step is easy now all you have to do

 is fill in the top of the nail black. Add as you can see I added a line at the bottom (you don't have to but I like it like this).




















Step 6: Add your white dots :) This gives you a

 monarch butterfly effect!






















Add a top coat and you are done! Here is a picture of the finished look:)

Oh my! This is super cute and easy! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this Butterfly Nail Art!

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Neon Rainbow

Hi all today I tried something new...not sponging just using the nail polish brush I painted a rainbow...then covered it with a stamp from my XL-A LeaLacC stamping plate with konad white special polish. 

I really liked this and the dots calmed the rainbow down a bit but it still was NEON.

Let me know what you think. How do you wear your neon's?

Straw Dots

Hey everybody! Today I have a really easy mani... Straw Dots! Yes straw dots, let me explain .... one day sitting at the computer with a drink in my hand ( I won't say if it was an adult drink, but just might have been) and looking at the straw and it hit me. Why not use the straw to make big circles (straw dots) and that is how this mani was born.
First thing is paint your nails, I used Color Club Endless Summer and Ruby Wing Electric Firefly. Then I cut my straw (cause you are only using one end and you don't need that much). With the opposite color than the nail take the straw and make Straw Dots :) Here are my pictures :)

Super bright for summer and super easy:) I love these colors together and with just a straw I made a exciting new mani! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this look :)

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Blue Gradient

 Hi everyone! I have a quick post for today....a simple gradient.

I started with a base of Salon Perfect Blue Mint. 

I added a bit of white for ever sponged level of the gradient until the very tips of my nails are sponged white.

I then did a simple flower with a dotting tool. :)

See easy manicure! Well ladies enjoy your day! 

Hot Pink and Navy Water Marble

Hey everybody:) Today I have a quick post for y'all .... Hot Pink and Navy water marble! I have been trying to get these colors together for a while and for one reason or another it just didn't work out, until now! I used Zoya Ali and Sinful Colors Midnight Blue for this water marble. Here are the pictures:)

I love this combo! It's not so "psychedelic-with a million colors" but still has the hot pink to make it summery. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!
Love,
~Anne~
