The "Fall Into Autumn" Collection by What Addiction? Polish

Image
Fall into Autumn with me as I drool over this quad of a collection by What Addiction? Polish. 🀀 These shades are vampy, sexy, & mysterious all at the same time.  Here is a first look at the newest collection, who else is excited about these, besides me?  ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Bonfire Embers Let's start off with a mega vampy burgundy color called Bonfire Embers. It has a brownish-red type base & both orange and teal shimmers. It reminds me of the sparks flickering out of a bonfire before they hit the ground & disappear. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Moonlit Rain If purple rain had a companion, it'd be this polish. This polish has a deep purple base with violet, plum, and pink-purple shimmers! I love how much the shimmer gives so much depth to the already fabulous polish. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Starry Hike  ...

How to Apply Loose Glitter

Image
Hey, lovelies.🌻 I am frequently asked for tips & tricks on how I apply glitter onto my nails, so I thought I'd share the wealth. In the application videos, I'll be using glitter sent to me by Wickedly Sick Nails . Let's get started!😍  I use a peel off base coat because I swatch a lot of things, & well, because it's easier to take off that way but you can use a regular base coat as well. My Favorite Regular Base Coat is all natural basecoat by OPI & my favorite top coat is a Walmart brand called PRO-FX quick dry top coat Salon formula.  I put a base coat of my choosing followed by a nail polish color similar to the one found in the glitter mix (so it won't contrast). That way, if you happen to miss a spot, it's not visible. I do 1 to 2 coats of said polish color depending on how sheer the polish is & let that completely dry. Then, I use American Classics yellow stopper. It is supposed to originally be used as a yellow...

Indie Polish Tag

Hey boo thangssss. 😍 So, this is a bit of a different type of post than we're used to (yes - as in you AND IπŸ˜…). I was called out by @ SamtasticNails in one of her most recent blog posts to answer some questions about my personal thoughts on things that is Indie Polish.πŸ˜… Shall we start?πŸ™ˆ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • Indie Polish Tag Questions: 1. What was the very first indie polish that you purchased? My very first indie polish was off of Etsy. I ordered those 5 polishes from @ AnnBoyarLuxuryBoutique . They made gorgeous polishes & I bought them after seeing @ NailArtByFrida PR them. Unfortunately, they are not available anymore for the time being.😣 2. What's an indie polish lemming that you want but have never been able to get your hands on? Lemming? Hold up, πŸ˜…πŸ˜Ά. "Ok, Google.πŸ€” Define lemming... ... ... ... Lmao what? Rodent? *searches more* ... ... ... ohhhhh, gotcha!πŸ˜†" ...Ok, I'm back. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ My favorite Indie poli...

Behind the Lens : the Making of my Nail Tutorials

Behind the Lens The Making of my Nail Tutorials Hey, lovelies! 🌻    I am always messaged questions about how I make my tutorials & any tips I have to offer. After holding a poll on my Instagram story, a lot of you seemed to have wanted me to share the wealth! Which is awesome & totally happening right now, actually, as you read. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ I got some replies asking why I was so okay with sharing my golden tricks about how to start a blog or how I make my videos... My answer - Another nail artist is not my competition. We both are passionate about the same things. We both need to succeed. If I was struggling to stay true to what I loved most (nail art) & I was stuck in a hunch, I personally know many that would do the same for me.    πŸ’žPlease know that I did my research & went through trials & errors trying to find the perfect apps that worked for me. These are the apps I have found to work best & remain stable & consistent up...
