Tribal Nails



Hello everyone! My name is Rachel and I have moved from totesperfnails.wordpress.com. I’m trying to catch up with blog posts because I want to post about my nails when I actually do them, not 4 weeks later. However, Wordpress refuses to let me upload anything and I've been wanting to expand my blog and do more with it so I moved. Anyway, these are my tribal nails and I’ll show you how it’s done!

The polishes I used were Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear “White On” (#300) and “Black Out” (#28), Insta-Dri “Mint Sprint” (#440), “Jade Jump” (#450), and “Lightening” (#280), and Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Base & Top Coat.

I started with a white base coat. I let it dry for a while because gradient styles work best with COMPLETELY DRY nails. I recently learned that putting a clear coat overtop makes it work even better. After your white base coat, you will need a sponge. Wedges work better but all I had at the time was a round makeup sponge; use whatever you have available. Paint your colors on the sponge and pat the sponge on your nail. You’ll need to do it more than once to make the polish opaque. Now all you have to do is clean off the excess polish (easier said than done lol). 

For the design you can basically do whatever you want. Paint straight lines, jagged lines, dots, add more color or got all black. You can choose what you think looks best and have fun with it. Add another clear coat and it’s complete! I think this is a great nail look for summer. That’s all for now (sad face). I will post a lot this next week to get caught up for my 4thof July nail tutorial.BYYEEE

Oh btw since I have moved, if you are new here, I have an Instagram @totesperfnails and I have already posted about this design on there. So check it out and follow me if you'd like.

Miracle Gel “Greyfitti” Review

  Hello everyone! Today I have a review for one of my newer polishes by Sally Hansen called “Greyfitti” (#260). So, keep reading to see what I think!  The first thing I have to say is that this polish took 3 coats to get this opacity. That was a little bit annoying, but it didn’t take too long to dry and this color is very pretty. I guess if you needed a really transparent grey color for any type of nail design that this polish could be considered multifunctional.  Also, this color reminds me of Candie’s “Concrete Jungle”, which I’ve done reviews on before, except it's a bit of a lighter shade of grey. I may like Candie’s a bit better… no offense to Sally Hansen lol. This polish is great and you know that I love Sally Hansen products, but I prefer the other one a bit more. Overall, I’d say that this polish deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I like the color and it dries quickly. So far it has lasted with no chips (even though I haven’t had it on for that long so I’...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself.  The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...

Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover First Impression

Hello everyone! Today I have a review for Suncoat’s Natural Nail Polish Remover. My mom recently purchased this online at Amazon, which at the moment is $5.68 for 60ml. It is a corn and soya based nail polish remover with only 4 ingredients, which is significantly healthier than regular polish remover. It comes in either a 30ml or 60ml glass bottle (1oz or 2oz) which is better than plastic because the chemicals in plastic bottles will soak into the remover as well, and that’s bad for you. The directions say to put it on your nails with a Q tip or cotton ball, let soak, and rub off until the polish is removed; basically, it works just like normal removers. I had my mom test it on the 4 th of July nail design and the new glitter polish I got (I test my designs on her first ok) and she gave me a review. She said that it was very very oily, but it is oil so that’s what you’d expect. It took longer to remove than what it would for normal polish remover, but it worked just as well....
