Shiny Bikini Time

 Hello, hello, hello Bloggerettes! I've had a very busy August with work, my birthday, and my boyfrans birthday. The boyfran and I shared an amazing vacation with the pups, food, and a lot of alcohol. We also did a lot of shopping, so I picked up some new make up and polish. Gifts were some Adventure Time toys, Lollipop Chainsaw, and baking stuff. Yes, I am 12, don't judge haha! I also bought The Wah Nails Book of Nail Art, if you're looking for a cute nailspiration book this one is for you!

Anywho, todays post features Essie Shine of the Times and Bikini So Teeny. This mani was a huge hit and I received so many compliments. Bikini So Teeny is a gorgeous periwinkle/baby blue creme while Shine of the Times is an orange/gold/green flakie. I find with most Essie cremes the formula tends to be thick however this was not the case with BsT.

Gorgeous, right? This is 1 coat CND Stickey, 2 coats of Bikini so Teeny, 2 coats Shine of the Times, and 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. As a quick side note Shine of the Times is no longer carried at Walgreens and was replaced with Stroke of Brilliance the multiple sized blue glitter in the Essie basic department. Which I think is a damn shame as it was the best polish in the Luxe line.

Thanks for looking!

Hello Kitty in Bubble Gum Land: A KKCenterhk Review

 Hey hey Bloggerettes! I was lucky enough to be contacted by KKCenterhk and was asked to review several products, this is part 1! Today's post is a continuation of Holographic Bubble Gum with the addition of KKCenterhk Hello Kitty Nail Decals 3D-314. Sanrio and Hello Kitty have been a part of my life since I was a little girl so I had to pick these decals, not to mention the adorable poodles. Can you imagine if it were a little Boston Terrier!? 

 The set features 31 decals with opalescent glitter.

 Design includes 2 Hello Kittys(pink & blue), butterflies, roses, bows with roses, and poodles.

These decals are so cute! They were easy to apply and had good grip on the nail. Once you lay them flat on the nail apply a thick base coat, I used Seche Vite, to seal them in. My only complaint is the butterflies and the butterfly and poodle decals ripped easily because of the 'swirls'. Hello Kitty Nail Decals 3D-314 retail for $3.50, a steal, at KKCenterhk.

Holographic Bubble Gum

'Ello Bloggerettes! Today's post features the most amazing pink holographic polish EVAR Jade Delirio Rosa. This Brazilian gem has the most spectacular holo mixed in with the brightest bubble gum pink. Unlike other holos this one is prominent inside or outside, artificial light or not.

The shade of pink does vary in certain lights as you can see from my pictures. I started with 1 coat of CND Stickey, 3 coats of Delirio Rosa though you could get away with 2, followed by 1 coat of Seche Vite. Delirio Rosa has topped my all time favorite polishes list already. I purchased mine via a group buy but you can now pick this up at Ninja Polish for $7.50!

Tutorial Tuesday: Grunge

G'day Bloggerettes! Today features another group mani featuring Tutorial Tuesday; when you pick your favorite tutorial and do it! I decided to try my hand at Jamie at Nails Adored Grunge Tutorial. However instead of grunge I got more funky peacock but it's still pretty sweet! This post is going to be very picture heavy!

I picked Essie Licorice, Sinful Unicorn, Orly Purple Crush, China Glaze Splish Splash, and China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise. You'll need a capful of acetone and a paintbrush for this mani.

 I started with a coat of CND Stickey followed by 2 coats Licorice.

 Paint 1 side with Unicorn.

 Then Purple Crush.

Followed by Splish Splash, then Turned Up Turquoise.

Once your done take your paintbrush, dip in acetone, and start brushing your nails till desired effect.

I am so happy with my results! Jamie did a great tutorial and I hope I did her some justice! What do you think? Now let's look at what the other girls did!
