Stained Glass Nail Art

*Some Press Samples Used*

Hi everyone! Today I have my first attempt at doing colored jellies over a holo base. I've wanted to do this after seeing these fabulous manis from my pals Emily from Very Emily and Valesha from Peachy Polish (I miss seeing both of their posts so much!).  I don't think mine was quite as amazing as theirs, but it's an OK first attempt. Basically, you achieve this look by applying a silver glitter base and then randomly blobbing colored jelly polishes on top to create a sort of "stained glass" look. Then you finish off with some intricate black stamping. It was easy to do...just give it a try! The most difficult part is waiting for the layers to dry before stamping! I was glad to finish off the design using a collaboration plate from yet another one of my Paint All the Nails! buddies, Lucie from Lucy's Stash!

Polishes Used:

KBShimmer Alloy Matey (Silver Glitter Base)
OPI Y'all Come Back, Ya Hear? (Orange)
OPI Too Hot Pink to Hold 'Em (Pink)
OPI Houston, We Have a Purple (Purple)
OPI Landscape Artist (Green)
OPI Primarily Yellow (Yellow)
Misa Pour Me Something Tall and Strong (Blue)
Rica Blackout (Black Stamping Polish)
BM-XL 209 Collaboration Plate Bundle Monster + Lucy's Stash (Stamping Plate)

piCture pOlish Rose

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! Today I have a piCture pOlish beauty to share with you!

Rose is a beautiful pink-toned red filled with holo flakes. The formula spread smoothly and easily and I used 2 coats for full coverage. I have always had a great love for piCture pOlish's holo flake polishes, and this one is no exception. The formula on Rose is more creamy vs jelly so it has more opaque coverage while still having a slightly squishy finish. It's a classic shade with a fun twist...it would be an elegant addition to anyone's polish collection. This shade was a collaboration shade with Cotton Coney, who does some of the most amazing free-hand nail art (check her out on Instagram too)

Monday Layerings: Lollipop Posse Lacquer + OPI

*Nothing to Disclose*

Hi everyone! I've got a gorgeous layering combo to share with you today, courtesy of Lollipop Posse Lacquer and OPI! I haven't purchased many glitters lately, but I could not resist completing my Christmas Kiki Collection with the beautiful This Kiki is Marvelous when Karen recently re-released it (it's sold out now...it was a limited restock). This glitter is really versatile and would look amazing over a variety of colors, but I wanted to pair it with a vampy shade to really make the glitters pop. I chose OPI Kerry Blossom, from the Washington D.C. Collection from Fall 2016. There were so many pretty cremes in that collection...I really need to wear more of them! This was such a lip-smacking combo...love!

KBShimmer Holo-maniacs Group Custom for June 2017

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have KBShimmer's Holo-maniac's Group Custom for June 2017 to share with you! This beauty is available exclusively to group members, so join now to grab yours! It will only be available during the month of June, so don't wait!

KBShimmer Holo Can You Go is a blurple linear holo filled with ultra chrome flakes that flash purple, pink, green, blue, and aqua. Formula was excellent to work with and I used 2 easy coats for full coverage. The holo is very nice and strong when the light hits it, but in lower lights the colorful flakes really pop out. This polish is just perfection!
