NOTD: Wet n' Wild Fast Dry Blue Wants to Be a Millionaire

Here's WnW Fast Dry Blue Wants to Be a Millionaire.

3 coats with OPI Nail Envy as basecoat and Seche Vite topcoat!

Glittertastic, isn't it?

NOTD: LA Colors Luscious Wine

I want to share my new favorite red nail polish: LA Colors Luscious Wine. It's a deep blood red / wine shade that's vampy but quite alluring at the same time. It toppled China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Wet n Wild Red Red as my favorite red nail polish! Another thing I'm in love with is it's jelly formula and shiny finish. I'm wearing it with Seche Vite on top and CND Stickey as base. Actually, I just added Seche Vite to make my mani last longer, but this nail polish is shiny enough that it doesnt need a topcoat for added gloss! I used four coats to achieve this depth, which isnt a problem for me since the polish is a bit thin and hey it's a jelly! I had this nail polish for about a year now and I couldn't believe that this is the first time I've worn thia beauty! My only gripe is that the brush is so thin, that instead of two to three strokes for an even coverage in a nail you might need four. BTW I bought this at Makeup Masala for just a dollar! What a steal right?! Too bad Toma closed her shop. Hmmmm... Now I think about it, I really miss the Makeup Masala store.

NOTD: Water Marbling - My First Attempt!

After watching so much water marbling tutorials, I finally had the guts to try it out, and here's the finished product! All I can say is not bad for my first time hahaha. I was aiming for more complex pattern but I still haven't nastered the technique. Hopefully, I could show you better water marbling patterns next time!

I used CND Stickey as base coat, then OPI Hot and Saucy and Orly Sparks for the water marbling and I used Seche Vite fast dry top coat to seal in the design. Hope you guys like it!

NOTD: OPI Glitzerland

OPI Glitzerland is a neutral gold nail polish with foil finish. I used to hate foil finish nail polishes but I love it in this particukar nail polish! It looks like I have Minx on from a far. I cant stop looking at my nails! I feel like a millionaire with this polish on! Hahaha....

In this NOTD, I used a coat of CND Stickey then 3 coats of OPI Glitzerland and 1 coat of Seche Vite Clear Top Coat.

BTW I want to apologize for the not so nice photos recently. I've been using my iPhone for blogging. It's much more easier for me, and this way I could blog more. Hope you could bear with me.

Nail Gradient Tutorial

Hey beauties!

This post is for you nail addicts!

I'm going to show you how I create the gradient nail effect.

Let's start!

Base coat was applied (not pictured). Apply 1 coat of any shimmery/glittery sheer nail polish.

I used OPI Princess Rules!

Grab a nail polish darker and more opaque than your sheer polish.

I used OPI Pompeii Purple

Dab some of the nail polish to a sponge.

Dab the sponge with the nail polish in three fourths of the nails.

Grab another nail polish darker than the 2nd nail polish you used.

I used Orly Velvet Rope.

On another side of the sponge, dab some nail polish.

Dab the sponge with nail polish half way through your nails.

Grab another nail polish darker than the 3rd nail polish used.

I used Orly Goth.

Dab a small amount to another part of the sponge.

Dab the sponge in the tips of your nails.

You may finish it off by applying another coat of the sheer nail polish you've used then followed by your top coat or directly seal it with a top coat.

I applied a thin coat of OPI Princess Rules! and topped my nails with Seche Vite top coat.

That's it! Easy huh?

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
