PRODUCTS USED:

Base Coat - Seche Vite

2nd Coat - China Glaze 'Black Diamond'

Black Micro Beads - 12 colors set from ebay

NOTD: Multi-Colored Nails (Lauren Conrad Inspired)

I got the inspiration from Lauren Conrad as featured in the current People Style Watch mag... I initially liked the idea, tried to replicate it but the outcome didn't really appeal to my taste. I ended up doing two alternating colors instead. It looked better this way (in my opinion)... Nail polishes used... Would you wear multi-colored nails? ***

NOTD: Tiffany & Co. Inspired Nails + Random Thoughts Ep. 2

Some of you might be familiar of this nail design because I had a youtube video from way back. It was deleted tho because of copyright issues. Maybe because I used the song "Moon River" as background =( I finally had time to recreate this design. First, I painted my nails with China Glaze 'For Audrey' Now it's Konad Stamping time! ^ I used the Konad special polish in White and the middle design on image plate m56 ^ You can leave it like this topped with clear nail polish. I decided to add clear rhinestones in the middle of the ribbon and we're done! Looks easy right? But it's really not. Getting used to Konad Stamping is the key. You may mess up a few times but you gotta keep on tryin.

Requested: My Nail Polish Collection

I got my 8ty8beauty.com order today. It took awhile to get it. I was fortunate enough to order before they temporarily shut down their website due to massive amount of orders received. Since I got the Nail Polish Rack, I was inspired to re-organize my nail polishes. Some of my yt subscribers also requested to see them so here you go...

NOTD: Feat. NARS Nail Polish in 'Arabesque' and China Glaze 'Up all Night'

(pink glitter in a sheer base) - $16 I'm not really into glittery nail polishes but NARS 'Arabesque' stood out. The glitter chunks are not overly chunky and it dried surprisingly fast too in less than a minute. You can wear it alone or as a top coat.

China Glaze Nail Polish in 'Up all Night' (shimmery midnight blue)

Nail of the Day (NOTD): China Glaze Avalanche and Sephora by OPI Metro Chic

I did my nails today using Sephora by Opi 'Metro Chic' for base and China Glaze 'Avalanche' for silver tip...
