Live.Love.Carnaval Spring Nail Art with tutorial

by . Posted on
25 Feb

I saw this idea on BioSculpture’s Facebook page and loved it! Luckily, my friend Tennille was game with letting me try it out on her yesterday!

We used OPI GelColor Live.Love.Caranaval which is so fabulous! It’s not quite as bright and fluorescent looking in real life. Kind of in between Cajun Shrimp and My Chihuahua Bites. I absolutely LOVE it though! It applies perfectly too–I did three coats on Tennille which is what I usually do with all my gel polishes so I was totally happy with the results.

I grabbed the Essie Fall 2013 Sample Cube while I was at SalonCentric this morning and am swatching two colors today and two Friday. Let me just begin by saying these colors are fabulous! Both went on super smooth and almost opaque with one coat. For The Twill Of It will be a great color to use for stamping, much like Good As Gold is.

Essie Mint Candy Apple nail polish

by . Posted on

Here is a picture of Essie Mint Candy Apple on my stubby little nails…..I really love this color! I was hoping it would be a minty green but it’s more a Robin Egg Blue shade. I think Essie Turquoise and Caicos might be the minty green shade I am searching for. I want to paint my lovely friend Ashley’s nails with T&C to show you how pretty it is….she has gorgeous nails! Anyway, I do love Mint Candy Apple by Essie and you can buy it here on Amazon:
