Black Gloss on Matte Doticure!

Goodmorning everyone! Hope everyone had an excellent weekend! I was supposed to have a post yesterday, but sadly I just didn't have the time, so instead I'm making one today. I've finally decided to try out this black matte with black gloss thing. 
Enjoy! xx


The black that I used was Barelements Black, and I then covered it with NYC Matte me Crazy.


The black dots were made with a dotting tool, and also using Barelements Black.


The grey that I used here is China Glaze Elephant Walk. I also put NYC Matte me Crazy on these.


The white dots were made using a dotting tool and acrylic paint.

Sinful Colours Animal Print

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great Monday.. Just kidding, Mondays suck. Haha. Anyway!
I am OBSESSED with leopard print. I love it! It's just.. so pretty. These, like the previous two manis are old. Once again, I apologize in advance for the terrible quality of these photos, and how disgusting my cuticles are. Not to mention how short my nails are. Haha! 

Enjoy! xx 


I love the way that the leopard print turned out. Definitely one of my best attempts! 


The blue I used was absolutely incredible: Sinful Colours Blue by You. Its a gorgeous colour packed with sparkle. Definitely one of my favourite colours I own!


The yellow is another Sinful Colours nail polish: Let's Meet. Just like the blue, it is packed full with glitter, however needs several coats to become opaque which was annoying. 


The orange that I used for accents is Barelements Orange, Orange. And I used black acrylic paint for the outline on the leopard print.  


In these pictures, I am holding and EOS lipbalm. I personally hate this specific one-Sweet Mint. But the others are amazing! You can check out their website by clicking here!

Bareelements, and Stamping!







Stamping using Bundle Monster 2.0 and 3.0!

Love, Love, LOVE this design.

I used Bundle Monster Plates BM201 for the lines and BM317 for the bows! For colours I used Bareelements Teal for the base colour, and stamped using Sally Hansen Insta Dry Silver sweep which is definitely a favourite of mine! 

What's your favourite Polish to stamp with? Let me know!

pOlka dOts

First Tutorial!
Okay, so. Before you start, pick two colours. Make sure that they are close, but different shades. Ex: One darker, one lighter. Rub a bit of acetone on your nails to let the polish stick better.

Step 1: Paint whole nail darker colour. Let dry.
Step 2: Using a dotting tool, or several different sizes, make dots on the upper corner of the nail varying in size. I made the dots in black because i think the way that looked more than white.
Step 3: Again using a dotting tool, make smaller dots on a couple of the black/white dots you just made with your lighter colour.
Step 4: Make even smaller dots on one or two of the lighter dots, using black/white again.
Step 5: Top coat, and let your nails dry. Then moisturize, and use cuticle cream/oil.

Colours Used: Essie; Turquoise & Caicos
                          Barelements; Teal
                          Sinful Colours; Black on Black
