Nail Art Challenge : Song

This was a hard challenge I mean having to choose just one song didn't work for me so I chose two. Lately I've been obsessed with Professor Green songs so I choose "Kids That Love To Dance" and "Read All About It". I love how the name turned out with the smoke behind it so I kept it and changed my other nails for both manicures.

Crackle Polish Haul/Review

The other day while I was out I decided to treat myself to some new nail polishes. I stopped by Walgreens and was amazed when I saw these crackle polishes by the brand Cherimoya. I'd never heard of this brand before but I've been looking for cheaper crackle polishes and they just happened to be on sale so I couldn't pass them up.

Most brands have crackle polishes now, but this brand has
the largest variety of colors I've seen for crackle polishes
Including neon which I was very excited to try.

The formula of these varies for each color.
Some are thin while others are really thick.
BEWARE, These polishes do have a very strong odor.

I only bought 2 of the polishes a gray and white to try out then went back for the colored ones. When I swatched these they didn't crackle at all I tried several times before I finally got a little bit of crackle effect. I will say I noticed whenever I swatched Mercy Me that it flaked a lot when it dried.

But these polishes on nails look great crackle very fast and have a matte finish.

TIPS

Make sure you shake these very well before you use them

To get a perfect amount on your nail instead of using the sides of your brush use the bottom and stipple it on your nail. Like Robin Moses always says dot dot dot.

   I found these at Walgreens for $2.99.
  You can also check your local beauty supply stores.
Stores usually sell 24 shades.
  They are also available online at  BeautyJoint.com

There you can find all 49 shades for $2.99.

If your looking for good crackle polishes

you should check these out.

Which colors are you most excited to try ?

Nail Art Challenge : Flag

I was very excited for this nail art I haven't done a Union Jack nail art design sense I first started doing nail art designs. So I'm going to share a little secret with all of you...I'm obsessed with the U.K. have been since I was a little kid. Everyone always ask why I love it so much and honestly I have no clue why really I guess I've just always liked the fashion,music, and of course nail art. Which 2 of my favorite nail artist just happen to be from the U.K. Sophy Robson and Jenny Longworth. So I wanted to do something different for this design I used 2 different shades of blue with different finishes one lighter blue matte and one dark blue frost.
