Orly GelFX, Lola.

Blog day! Woo!

Hey guys, I went shopping this week! I love shopping! I went to two of my local Sally's Beauty Supplies and grabbed some Orly GelFX colors. Since I can't paint them back, to back, to back, this post will only have the first one. So without further ado, here is "Lola", which is coincidentally my adorable dog's name.

Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures of Lola alone before I added nail art. Here are the photos I took on my iPhone.

Last night I was goofing around with our stamping plates and decided on a Disney design for my accent nail! This is when I actually took photos on my camera. I am so proud of how it turned out! For Mickey's glove I used the Fab ur Nails, FUN 1 stamping plate with Color Club, Blue Heaven. For the dots I used two different sized dotting tools and Colors by Llarowe, I am Free from the Little Miss Independent set.

And of course, here is my Lola!
Love, Kathy

Colors by Llarowe, Gemini Rising.

Hey guys!

Today, I am putting up all the pictures I've accumulated in the last few days of Gemini Rising by Colors by Llarowe! Gemini Rising is what I would describe as the perfect Kelly Green linear holo, it's very bright, almost neon in a way. It is absolutely my favorite color! It is always hard to find nice green polishes, especially holographic ones. If you love green, GRAB THIS!! It is well worth the price and with Indie Polishes, you never know when it will be gone! I need to stock up because that scares me!!

In these pictures, I have a white coat of gel nail polish underneath Gemini Rising. If you have somewhat brittle nails, having a gel coat under is so helpful! This is probably the longest my natural nails have ever been and I love it!!

I took these first pictures with my Sony NEX-6, enjoy!

The formula on this polish is amazing! The one thing I will warn is that it tends to stain the nail a yellow/green color if you don't use a couple coats of base!!

Here are the random photos I've taken with my iPhone this week:

What do you think? Amazing, right?!

Colors by Llarowe, Joanna.

Hey guys!

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite new polishes with you. I have been really into Colors by Llarowe lately, and I just can't get enough of this color! Joanna is a polish from the Overboard Collection that CBL put out this year. It is the perfect shade of gold with an intense linear holo. This polish applies a bit thick and you can easily get full coverage in two coats. If the thickness really bothers you, you can add a bit of high quality polish thinner. It can be really tricky to add with holographic nail polish, so I would research it in depth first.

For this manicure, I actually started with a white gel base to make my nails a bit thicker than normal. This helps me a lot because I have super brittle nails that love to break. Next, I layered two coats of Joanna atop the gel base. As the final step, I used a fast dry top coat by Nail Tek called Quicken.

Earlier today, I got bored and decided to add an accent nail to my mani. I used striping tape to make lines diagonally on my ring finger and painted CBL, Mean Dean Proffitt over Joanna. More photos below, hope you guys enjoy! 

Love, Kathy

Introduction

Hey Guys!

My name is Sylvia and I love everything beauty related. From me you will see things that have to do with hair, nails and makeup. I am a licensed cosmetologist through the state of Arizona. Currently, I work for Great Clips and have since January of this year and I love it! I love sharing my thoughts on products with people and this is a great way for me to do that; alongside my best friend and sister. 

My Name is Kathy and like my sister Syl, I love dabbling in everything beauty! Nail polish is my passion and I have just started my journey with makeup. I have never really been the person that can spend an hour doing my makeup perfectly. However, I love trying new things so much that I am challenging myself to be more adventurous. I love sharing my opinions with other people and reviewing things that I've tried. It is really amazing to have the ability to work with my sister and learn new things together. We have the best bond and loving the same things gives us even more to do together!
