So obsessed with rhinestones!

Hi!

Recently I've found myself wearing rhinestone nail art a lot. Its so easy to do and adds some super simple bling to some of my favorite nail colors.

This was the first manicure I did with them, and I LOVED it! I wore it for nearly a week before I decided to change my polish and the rhinestones didn't budge a bit!

The pink polish is NYC - Lincoln Square Lavender, one of my favorites!

We bought my cat nail caps recently due to us purchasing brand new furniture. He's not a scratcher but we did notice a tiny mark or two just from him jumping off of it, so caps were the solution. I picked blue out so it'd be easy to see if one falls off, and I decided to match with him!

I went for the simple one rhinestone look again. The polish is BP by Nordstrom.. not sure of the name, honestly. It isn't listed on the bottle! Boo..

I'm waiting for some more rhinestones and other nail art things to arrive in the mail, once I have those I've got some more manis in mind!

Are you obsessed with rhinestones like I am?

Also, you may have noticed the change in name! I have moved over from nailsss.blogspot.com to nailesque.blogspot.com . In the future I plan to move to my own domain, but not right away. I'm still making plans. (Also, if you have advice, lay it on me.. lol)

Hopefully you like the changes and, as always..

Emerald Shimmer!

Hi!

Today I have a surprising combination for you - at least in my opinion, I didn't expect these two polishes to look so freaking gorgeous together.

And it was even prettier in person!!

I couldn't stop looking at my nails while I wore this. This is a greenish Pure Ice layering polish over a navy Color Club polish. Who thought greenish + navy = gorgeous emerald?

I want to wear this one again. The navy polish (in my opinion) is just way too dark on its own, too near to black. However, I just want to layer everything over it now!

Products Used:

Base Coat - Seche Vite Ridge Filling Base Coat

Color Club - Blue Topia

Pure Ice - Heartbreaker

Top Coat - NYC Grand Central Station

By the way.. I've swatched all the Color Clubs that I have (5 of them) so keep an eye open this week (probably next Sunday) for those.

Easy Peasy Grey with Purple Glitter Manicure

Hi!

For my late night Sunday post this week, I have a pretty and simple manicure with a super colorful glittery polish!

I love grey, it looks good with so many colors and is a nice change from white and black! I could have done more coats of the glitter as well, but I liked the sparkle that just one coat leaves. As you can see, it is a mix of blue, red, purple, and silver sparkles! Super pretty.

Products used:

Base Coat - Sally Hansen Nail Protex Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener

NYC - Sidewalkers (Grey)

NYC - Big City Dazzle (Glitter)

Top Coat - NYC Grand Central Station

Tiffany Blue Sparkle Gradient

Hi!

I was in a glittery mood, and then this happened..

I'm kinda obsessed with both of these polishes, and wanted to attempt a gradient glitter effect instead of just glitter everywhere. I did 3 layers of the glitter, and made it get denser and denser as it got closer to the cuticle. I love this so much! I want to do this sort of thing again but with a super tiny and opaque glitter instead of a chunkier one like this.

Products used:

Base Coat - Sally Hansen Nail Protex Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener

L'Oreal - Not A Cloud In Sight

Pure Ice - Over You

Top Coat - NYC Grand Central Station

P.S. Have fun with iOS7 today, iPhone users! I'm super excited.

Simple Tape "French" Manicure and Planning Ahead

Hi!

I quickly wanted to mention that I want to start a "schedule" to my posts - this is barely a real schedule, but heres what I have in mind:

- I will post at the very minimum one post on Sunday. I have been busier due to my job and Sundays are a good day for me to post and do blog related things.. so this seems like a good fit! These posts will almost always be nail related.

- I will try to do an additional post at some point during the week. I have a sort of regular schedule but sometimes I will have Tuesday off, sometimes it will be Friday, etc. Depending on my life goings on, I will do my best to do an additional post then. Plenty of these will be nail related, but this is when I'm more likely to do a makeup/off topic sort of post.

Thats out the way, now for what you came here for!

This is a simple french manicure using scotch tape to get crisp, defined lines. I always jump at pinks and purples, so I wanted to throw some lesser used colors in! Really easy manicure to do, very cool effect! 

Products used:

Base Coat: Sally Hansen Nail Protex Vitamin-Fortified Strengthener

E.L.F. - Nude

NYC - High Line Green

China Glaze - Shower Together

Top Coat: NYC Grand Central Station

Milani #583 Hot Pink over some.. hot pink.

Hi!

I felt like being bright and girly with this manicure. I started with Pure Ice - Flirt Alert. Its an opaque hot pink! I love this one.

After that dried, I did my first coat of Milani #583 Hot Pink.

This is full of hexagon glitters in pink and silver. I found that one coat wouldn't do, and it was a little bit difficult to spread out the glitter.. so for my second "coat", I put the polish on a piece of paper, and transferred the glitters with a toothpick. I topped this off with my NYC clear coat.

I love this glitter, but it is too easy to make a really thick, globby coat of it. Probably will stick to applying the glitters manually in the future!

NYC #145 Rock the Party! Interesting color..

Hi!

I recently picked up a new polish at Target (its so hard not to look!) and wanted to show you - NYC #145 Rock the Party!

It is an interesting polish, for sure. It is SUPER translucent - I don't think you'd be able to build a full coverage of it by itself even after layers and layers of it. In the bottle it shines in dark purples and greens, and in my opinion it has a sort of pearly finish.

I decided to try it over one coat of NYC #264 Lincoln Square Lavender. Here it is by itself...

I absolutely LOVE this color! It is a tad bit more purple in person. It reminds me of Essie's Splash of Grenadine from their 2010 collection (which I have). Maybe I'll compare the two sometime for you guys.

I topped it off with NYC Grand Central Station as a top coat (NYC day, anyone?) With only one coat of Rock the Party, it appears much more purple but with two it is much easier to see the different shades in the polish. I want to try this another time over a green or blue color.
