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.

New Glitter with China Glaze 4 Leaf Clover!

Hi all! Another post with matte! I got some fancy new glitter that is a mix between hex and circle, ahah so I wanted to try it out. This is something I've never tried before, so be brutally honest!


The colour used here is a new one I have; China Glaze 4 Leaf Clover. It's coming off as more of a blue in the pictures, because I couldn't get the light quite right, but it's a tad bit more teal. Either way, It's a gorgeous colour, and I'm very glad I purchased it! :) 


The glitter was actually bought from my local dollar store, and was such a bargain that I couldn't pass it up. 


Just in case anyone is wondering, this beautiful ring that my practice hand is "wearing" is a Kameleon ring. You can find their website here! 



Once again, I used NYC Matte Me Crazy for the top coat!

Matte Glitter with Bundle Monster Stamping Plates

So, these are nails from quite a long time ago. I didn't like them much at the time and wasn't even going to put them on here, but hey, who cares, and I like them a lot more now. I love the matte colours and how they turned out. The pictures don't quite catch the glitter that well, but it's definitely an amazing colour. 



For these nails, I used Colour Club Gift of Sparkle (purple) and an old grey that my mother had. I don't have the name of this colour, sorry!


I used NYC Matte Me Crazy for a top coat! 



The stamping plate that I used was BM316.


If you don't already have the Bundle Monster stamping plates I highly recommend them! They're a lot cheaper then Konad plates, but are still great quality. Head over to Bundle Monster to pick them up!

Sally Hansen and Colour Club-Tape Manicure

Hi everyone! I'm supeeeerrr excited about this mani today! Okay, I decided to do a tape manicure. If you read yesterdays Tip for your Tips you saw that I discovered a way that makes the tape not stick to the base colour. If you haven't seen it, go check it out here! Anyway, so here's the first tape mani that I like enough to show you guys. I honestly love the way this turned out.
    The colours I used were an old Sally Hansen that I can't see the name of, Colour Club Glitter Wonderland and NYC Matte Top Coat(loveeee!!). So, i painted the nails Glitter Wonderland, used a matte topcoat and then did the whole "tape thing" with the navy blue. I added some micro beads last minute, and think they added a nice touch! What do you think? Do you like tape manicures?
