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 of a China Glaze's Sunset sail.
• WIth the Konad white polish and Moyou's Kaleidoscope plate no.01, stamp the image on each nail.
• Seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door.)

What do you think of this polish? What other shades would you recommend from Orly?

For this manicure you'll need:

• With the following polishes randomly dot them around the nail:-
  Lilac sheen - Lilac
  Cerise shine - Fuchsia pink
  Strawberry tart - Baby pink
• Seal with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I use INM's Out the door.)

What three colours should I pick for my next tri-colour dotticure?

Skipping right into the instructions.

For this manicure:

• Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
• Apply two coats of a basic white. I used Models Own's Hygerpel White light just because the one from Barry M is coming to a finish.
• Use striping tape of nail vinyls to section the nails by applying them vertically. 
• With three different shades of blue apply them lightest to darkest from left to right. Or the other way round if you wish. The blues used here are (lightest to darkest):
  Barry M's Blueberry
  Barry M's Blue grape
  Barry M's Blackberry
• Finish off with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I used INM's Out the door top coat.)

The look is very simple but this design feels satisfying to look at. I guess the boldness of the colours has a thing to do with it.

What other ombre ideas would you like to see next? What do you think of this one?

After trying the dark tips I wanted to give those two tone flowers a try. I don't think I did so well on that but the least the flower look is distinguishable.


For this manicure:

• Apply one coat of your preferred base coat (I used Essie's protein base coat.)
• Apply two coats of Barry M's Plum.
• With a sponge and basic black polish sponge the tips until preferred results - As I mentioned this step doesn't show up as much in person so it's really optional.
• Using a toothpick and two different shades place one dot on the nail and another in the second shade overlapping half of the first. With the pointy end of the toothpick pull the dots into the middle to give it the flower look.
  Polishes used here were OPI's A grape fit and Barry M's Silver foil effect.
• After you're done with the flowers, randomly dot OPI's A grape fit on the middle and ring finger nail.
• Finish off with one coat of your preferred top coat. (I used INM's Out the door top coat.)

What's your favourite dark polish?

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?
