Let's Try Those Untrieds! : ILNP "Fame" Swatch

Hello!

 

Another edition of Let's Try Those Untrieds! Today I present you Fame by ILNP. If you remember I wrote an blog post about some nailmail I got from ILNP here.

 

Nailmail Of The Week: Gilty Girl Cosmetics

Hello!

I have a new-to-me post today about Gilty Girl Cosmetics! Gilty Girl Cosmetics is based in San Francisco and offers beautiful polishes with international shipping. YEAH! The packaging is super pretty, the box that comes with the polish is pretty, the colors are pretty. You get my drift? THEY ARE PRETTY. EVERYTHING IS PRETTY.

I followed Alanna (the mastermind behind GGC) for a long time and I was always in awe when I saw her pictures posted on Instagram. Then, someday, I saw a promo code and decided it was finally time to try out this brand!

I'm so glad I did it!

Let's begin, shall we?

31DC version 2.0: Day 23: Indie/Day 24: Half Moon

What? Two prompts in one? You crazy girl!

Indie... that's so vague. How can you choose only one indie? I feel like if you choose only one indie, you may offend others. That's my humble opinion. I had so many untried indies, I decided to make a big mash-up and use as many as possible in the prompt.

I remembered in September when the traditional 31 Day Challenge was running, I saw @morenailpolish's half moon and I thought: "Wow, that's cool". Screenshot.

Loaded Lacquer: Nail Mail of the Week

Hello to you, Reader!

Last week, I received a package from Loaded Lacquer at my mom's house. Since I moved out I have to wait to get my things. I was so excited when she brought it with her when she came to see me !

I bought three new polishes from Heather, maker of Loaded Lacquer, and I would have bought more.  I need to control myself when I shop on her site. Everything she makes is beautiful and well thought.

For today's pictures I tried to take them in my homemade light box I finally made yesterday. I didn't have something long and large enough to make all the height so you can see a line. Oh well. Perfection doesn't exist, huh. If everything goes as I planned I should have my ''real'' light box by Friday. Exciting. This nail thing is getting real!

Enough with the rambling. Onto the nail mail !

 

She changed her logo, it's less bling-y. I don't know which one I prefer, her new one or old one. Aren't they pretty all lined up?

 

Megalodon is a blue/grey crelly with triangle glitters (white and silver), hexagons (two different blues & silver) and flakes (lavender.) It is beautiful and I can't wait to wear it even if the Shark Week is over. I'm crazy like that.

No Bra is a light pink crelly. It's from the Nude Jiggle Trio. I only bought this one because I felt like the others two weren't really me even if the name were funny enough to consider to buy them. It looks so simple and chic. I'm glad I purchase this one.  

 

Dragon Fruit is a crazy pink neon crelly. It's so bright in "real life". I couldn't get the right shade even if I try everything. This kind of color just doesn't want to be taken in picture. I feel like it's a summer shade. I'll probably wear this one in the middle of the winter when I'll get sick of the weather.   

Loaded Lacquer is one of my favorite indie brand, because she brings something new every time she releases new polishes. Her combination and choice of color/finish is pure Genius! Do you own any Loaded Lacquer polishes? Which one is your favorite?

Happy polishing! I'll see you Thursday, Reader!

Purple Gradient Nail Art

Wooo. Time flies!

It's been almost three weeks since I last posted.

To be honest, I didn't have nothing interesting to post. I am newly employed at the hospital and I was in formation for the last three weeks. Since it's a pediatric hospital, they don't allow nail polish on their employees. Whaaaaaat. Yeah. You read it. So I was only doing my nails on the weekend when I was not working. And most of the time, it was only plain ol' color. (Pretty color, but only one color.)

Now, I began my certification and I'm back at school which means I can do mah nails!!! Happy dance!!

First thing first.

Yesterday was the Lacquer Legion time of the month and the theme was Weird Science. I was really excited since I am ''scientific'' person. I knew right away what I wanted to do. Biological Hazard Nails. That was the design I had in mind when I posted about this polish three weeks ago ;)

This is what it looked in the end. I'm really pleased with it! On my other hand I painted the nuclear sign, but I was too impatient so I smudged my design right after I was done! LOL. Oh well.

 

Products used: Generally Hazzardous (Pretty Serious Cosmetics) (So sad, we can't see the golden shimmer :( ) and Black On Black (Sinful Colors)

NOW. The real star of today's post. Gradient nails are the best thing. There is so much choice of colors. It's infinite. That's what I like so much about gradients. No one can make the same choice (except if you want to replicate someone's gradient. ;))

Indirect/Natural light. 

 

Indirect/Natural light.

 

 

Indirect/Direct sun.

 

Isn't it beautiful??

 

Products used: "Well Isn't That Special" (Girly Bits Cosmetics), ''Relative Dimensions" (Above the Curve) and "Indie Go" (ILNP). I topped this beauty with HK Girl (Glisten and Glow)

 

Do you like gradient nails? What's your favorite color combo?

 

Happy polishing!
