Blackheart Beauty "Daydream Scream" Review

Hello everyone! My first review of the month is for a polish I got for Christmas from one of my best friends. This polish, as you can see from the title, is by Blackheart Beauty in the shade “Daydream Scream” which I previously had no clue what the name of this shade was and I had to guess, but turns out it is on the bottle; the other bottle didn't say so I just assumed lol. I believe this polish can be found at Hot Topic.

First off, I’d like to say that this is not a one coat polish. I used three coats to get the color I have in this photo. However, I didn’t really mind doing three coats because each thin coat dried SO QUICK. It dried in less than a minute so it was cool. Secondly, I’d like to say that this color is very pretty. It is a bluish-purple color and has a subtle glitter effect to it. I think it would be a good color to use for a galaxy nail design. Maybe I’ll do that sometime..? Lastly, the polish has lasted. I have washed the dishes two or three times since I put it on and it hasn’t chipped at all. It hasn’t even worn off at the tips of my nails as much as other polishes do. I’m pretty satisfied with it.

Overall, I’d say this polish is pretty great. It was a great gift and I’m glad it’s part of my collection. As I said, I think this would be a great base to a galaxy nail design. If anyone wants to try that out, get this polish at Hot Topic or online and tell me how that works out lol. I’ll see you on Wednesday! BYYEEE

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...

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 ...

Ombre, Lily Manicure

Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but I have had ZERO clue of what designs to do and I've been doing solid colors all summer. However, last night I decided to practice making my own nail stickers and they turned out super well. I went with two types of lilies, white lilies and purple/white lilies, and decided to put them on a two-toned ombre. For the "stickers" I started with a piece of parchment paper and a clear polish. With the polish I painted 10 rectangles which I would be painting my designs over. I ended up trimming my stickers down to size later so don't worry if the base is a bit too big. After about a minute I began painting my designs over top of the rectangles making sure they weren't too big for my nail beds. I looked at a picture of a lily for reference and then just went for it. I started with the white petals, added the center color, added thin green lines with a nail art brush for stems in the center and finally the brown dots on the ste...
