This manicure is inspired by a shirt I bought to go out to a concert tonight.  The manicure is so pretty I can't stop looking at it (hence all the pictures)!  As always, if you are interested to learn how to water marble yourself, check out my tutorial video here or on the right hand embedded link on this page. 

I first painted a base with two coats of China Glaze Something Sweet.  I then marbled with Awaken, Orly Cotton Candy and OPI Sonic Bloom.  I added glitter from LA Splash Cosmetics in Onyx across the center.  I used two coats of Seche Vite to seal the glitter and enhance the shine!

NOTD: Electric Pink

Hi !

Here's the Madonna polish no.75

It's an electric pink with silver reflections.

It's so shiney. After a coat, the polish is really opaque, but 2 coats are gorgeous.

The dry time is also acceptable.

Do you like this color?

Do you own a polish like this?

Thanks for reading and enjoy your Sunday!

How to pigment fade Konad polishes

Hi everyone!

Have you ever been disappointed in Konad polishes? I've been.

I bought Konad Pastel Green and Psyche Pink special polishes, but surprise!

They were almost invisible on nails. Beautiful colors in the bottle, but faded on nails.

I read somewhere that adding eyeshadow in the fade Konad special polish will help.

So I said, why not to try? I have nothing to loose, anyway.

What I did:

1. I scratched a green eyeshadow using a pencil.

2. After I put the eyeshadow dust on a piece of paper.

3. Put the dust in the bottle.

4. Close the bottle and mix it.

Repeat this steps until you get the color that you want.

What I got:

The same thing I did with the Psyche Pink:

Very little difference with the pink :(

What do you think about this?

Did you try this technique?

I'm curious what will this look like on nails.

Thanks for reading!

Have a nice day!

essie - Fall into fashion

Hi girls!
Here are some press informations recived from essie.

This season’s runways showcased a mix of traditional glamour, chic urban warriors

“This fall, designers are mixing it up, combining sheer fabric with leather along with

lingerie as outer wear in deep, muted tones and bold color palettes which is very

alluring,” explains Essie Weingarten, Founder/President of essie. “I drew inspiration

from the range of elegant, sanguine hues and camoufl age tones.”
