CLAIRE'S GLITTER SAND NAIL POLISH - NUDE

Hello everyone. How have you been? I’ve been so busy trying to arrange things for Mexico. I’ve had some vaccinations already and felt really tired the entire week and combined with some muscle aches is not helping at all. Muscle aches you ask… yep I’ve finally started training again and it’s one of the worst feelings ever, realizing that you’ve basically lost all of your muscle power. But I will regain it again one day and till then I will focus on other things. I’m thinking about just also posting about my day to day rambling as I feel like they just don’t fit into other posts such as in this one lol. Anywho...Let’s have a look at my manicure shall we..

Sooo anyway this is the color I’ve been wearing for the past three days, it’s from the company Claire’s and as the polish bottle shows that it’s one of their glitter sand polishes. I really like these kind of textured polishes and this is no exception. If you can remember I bought this a while ago on sale with some other beauties, one of which was a seafoam-green sand polish from the same brand.

This polish is so beautiful, looks like it actually sparkles in the light probably because of the silver glitter that’s mixed in. The color is a light nudish (don’t even know if this word exists..haha) pink. It’s the most wearable shade of the three Claire’s sand polishes I currently have. I even got this for my friend who actually didn’t like textured polishes, however she loved the effect of the seafoam green one and I therefore picked up this one for her as she’s more into those natural colors. 

For this manicure I’ve used three coats although two would’ve been sufficient. I just didn’t like the way it looked on my index finger as that one really needed an acrylic refill. That nail actually bend in the wrong direction today so I had to refill them asap today.

For some reason Claire’s doesn’t name their polishes which kinda sucks as I like being able to quickly find brands and colors online. Oh well guess we’ll just have to deal with it and use peoples swatches to find the correct colors.

Have you purchased any textured polishes yet? Do you think I should also ramble about day to day life, even picture-less posts? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

Claire's Turquoise Glitter Sand Nail Polish

Hi everyone, today I wanted to show you a gorgeous nail polish from Claire's that I bought on sale last week. It's from their glitter sand collection and it's this nameless turquoisy colour and it's just plain gorgeous. 

The colour reminds me a bit of China Glaze's Going in circles but this one is a bit darker and of course the finish is totally different. These kind of polishes have this gritty sand like texture hence the name and should be worn without topcoat. 

For these photos I've used two coats and of course no base/topcoat although I won't mind seeing how more beautiful this colour would look if I would have added those though.

What do you guys think of this nail polish? Have you tried a sand finish yet?

OPI Liquid Sand: The Impossible

Yay my exams are finally over, hope yours are too. I only have a exam review day this week and then my summer break can officially start. Anywho as I mentioned before I couldn’t really post often, but this is about to change though so don’t worry ^_^ just bare with me.

After my last exam I immediately searched for a nail polish that I haven’t worn yet and one of those was from the OPI Mariah Carey collection. I know… shame on me as the first polish I showed you from that collection was a while ago as seen here

Description from the box it came in:

Fluid as sand in an hourglass. This matte fuchsia with star confetti* will never give up. Dries to a textured matte finish infused with reflective glints of light.

*The mini nail polish doesn’t have star confetti, but the full size does!

I kinda disagree with the color description though, because for me fuchsia would’ve been more pink while this almost seemed red, bright coral-ish red. That’s really the only that bothered me.

Off to the pictures… this time without the underwater photos and taken in the same position, because I hurt my wrist at last weeks training. Please excuse the ugly cuticle on my middle finger (trying to paint my nails while walking, was in a hurry…don’t ask haha)

I applied a base coat and two coats of The Impossible. No topcoat as that would’ve taken away the beautiful and unique texture. For easy removal see here

I love the color, it’s really in your face bright and draws attention. I would still choose the purple color from this collection over this “fuchsia” though.

What do you guys think of this color? Have you ever tried textured nail polish?

Purple Sand

So I really wasn’t able to post this past week due to my exams and the flu. I did polish my nails though in this gorgeous colour from the O.P.I. Mariah Carey collection called Can’t Let Go.

Description from the mini O.P.I. Liquid Sand Nail Lacquer set:

Hold on to this matte purple with dazzling sparkle. All liquid sand nail lacquer dry to a textured matte finish infused with reflective glints of light.  

 

I absolutely love this colour and the finish really complements it. I’m really happy that I was able to grab one of the last mini sets as the other colours from the collection really didn’t appeal to me and the mini set contained the 4 Liquid Sand formulas.

I took some pictures but they really don’t do this colour justice. It’s just amazing in reality and especially in sunlight.

The first two pictures were taken under water as I feel that this showed the most accurate colour of the nail polish. On the bottom picture you can really see the sand-like texture.

These polishes are mend to be worn without topcoat as they really dry to a sandy finish, but the colour is also beautiful with topcoat.

I highly suggest to get these polishes while they last as they are gorgeous and a great addition to your nail polish collection.
