Choi's nails

For this manicure you'll need:

• One coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's Protein base coat)
• Apply two coats Orly's Rapture.
• With a sponge gently dab a Orly's Flare - Gold shimmer and China Glaze's I'm not lion - Gold glitter at the tips of the nail.
• When you feel they've been sponged evenly and you're satisfied with what it looks like, seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door.)

Does anyone have any tips and tricks when attempting these sort of designs?

This collection carries some large glitter top coats like this one. Alexa Heart and it's pretty much the one best matched to the base in my opinion but you will need to manually place each one. To save time, I placed it only on the ring finger nail in a flower shape and let the rest be.



Still 50/50 with this one and even though the glitter polish is little bit of a hassle for me it's still very pretty in bottle. Meh.

What do you think of this polish? Do you own any textured polishes? What's your opinion on them?

I do love this base but it sometimes feel like a crime to leave bases like that empty. So I picked up CC's Something new which I haven't had the chance to try yet. I was looking forward to how this light glitter on dark base would look. These glitter actually look better in the bottle though. Just look at it, it's like snow in a bottle but overall everything together looks okay.



What do you think of these two polishes? Do you know of any other glitter polishes like so?

What do you think of this red? What's your favourite red glitter polish?

For this manicure:

• Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
• Apply two coats of Essie's Absolitely Shore as the base.
• With some nail vinyls apply it vertically on the index and pinkie finger nail.
• Using Essie's Going incognito - an emerald green apply over the index and pinkie finger nail, wait a few seconds before peeling the nail vinyls to avoid the polish 'spilling'.
• Layer China Glaze's Tinsel Town on the middle and ring finger nail.
• Seal with one coat of a matte top coat. (I used China Glaze's Matte Magic.)

You can actually skip having to apply Essie's Absolutely shore on the middle and ring finger nail since CG's Tinsel Town is quite opaque. It's hard to tell there was even a base underneath.


Hmm, the index and pinkie really makes me think of a watermelon but I'm still 50/50 with the overall look.

For this manicure:

• Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
• Apply two coats of Nails Inc's Upper Cheyne row - a muted pink
• Drip the following polishes in water in the order you like:
  Nails Inc's Pont street mews - a cerise pink
  Nails Inc's Bruton street - a dusty pink nude
  Nails Inc's Upper cheyne row
• Wait until the polish dries on the surface on the water, carefull pick it up with tweezers and place on the middle finger nail. Using nail clippers or scissors cut off the excess. Do the same for the ring finger nail.
• Using Novello Street - a silver glitter, apply over the index and pinkie finger nail.
• Seal with a matte top coat and leave to dry. The one I used was China Glaze's matte magic.

Clearly messed up at the tips of my nails but my watermarbles are quite a hit and miss sometimes.

What other watermarble designs would you like to see?

For this manicure:

• Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
• Apply two coats of Nails Inc's Old bond street. Three for full opacity if you don't plan to start doodling a design over the top.
• With a thin striping brush and a white draw horiontal and vertical lines on the middle and ring finger nails. Next, draw diagonal lines from right to left and wait for it to dry.
  If a brush is too tricky for you to draw the lines with, alternatively you can use those nail art pens. Barry M does some which are quite easy to use.
• Start colouring in the triangles on the middle and ring finger nail with the following polishes:
  Nails Inc's Upper cheyne row - A muted pink
  Nails Inc's Showfield street - A periqinkle blue
  Nails Inc's Kensington palace gardens - Peachy coral
• After colouring in go over the lines again with the white.
• With Nails Inc's Novello Street - Silver glitter, apply over the index and pinkie finger nail
• Seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door top coat.)

Well, the design didn't come out as good as the others I've seen floating around on Instagram because there's more of the white than the colours.

No worries. Next time will be a better try.

What do you think of this polish?

I'm not quite familiar with the brand but just the colour itself looks pretty nice. Have you heard of Mpetit before?

Only after looking at the photos closely now I just realised that there were some air bubbles more visible on my middle nail. It did feel good to wear some of my old polishes though. I still remember Techno being one of the holographic glitters I liked to pick out more often than the others.



What is/are your favourite holographic glitters? May be a little late to ask but everyone had a nice Easter? ;)
