Floss Gloss Nail Art ft.: Lean!

 Hey guys!

So today I have nail art with Floss Gloss’s Lean! This is the second post in my mini-Floss Gloss swatch series. The other post in linked here


FG’s Lean is a light purple with some pink mixed in, or essentially a lavender-ish color.



I paired the swatch of this color with some light purple rhinestones and some light purple butterflies, both of which I got from amazon. I decided to place then over a clear polish. The links are attached on the respective products.


Thank you for reading my post! Stay tuned because I have a post coming up swatching my Ciate collection!

Floss Gloss Nail Art ft.: Faded!

Hey guys! 

So since getting back into painting my nails, I’ve been trying to incorporate nail art into colors that I have and have not swatched yet, so here I have a brand of polish that you might've heard of: Floss Gloss! Their colors are beautiful and I've heard their formula is amazing, too. So OF COURSE you know your girl couldn't stay away and just had to get her hands on some of their colors! Today I have nail art with Floss Gloss’s Faded to share with you all!



 
I thought faded would be a good match with China Glaze's Glistening Snow, and boy was I right! They balance perfectly: Faded being more muted and GS with the bling! I chose a leopard design to jazz things up since Faded is a more muted color. I also used two coats of Faded and Glistening Snow for the bases.


Reminds of a wanna-be snow leopard-ish kinda look. Perfect for Winter... or a gloomy day!

I bought Floss Gloss’s Faded at my local Marshall's, but you can also get them on Floss Gloss's Website or other retailers.

I hope you guys liked my nail art with FG's Faded, and I hope you'll stay tuned for another color of theirs I have coming up!

Comeback nail art

 Hi everybody!


It has literally been YEARS since I’ve blogged about my nail art, let alone posted on insta, but I’m back! Truth is, I’ve been wanting to make a comeback for a while, however, school and essentially life kept getting in the way. Now, I’m sure life will still get in the way, however, I have rediscovered my love for nail art and just painting my nails in general, so I am determined to keep up with it regardless of my other commitments. It’s nice to be back!

As you can imagine, taking a several year-long hiatus has definitely taken a toll on my nail art skills, but nevertheless I am posting, because again, I love doing nail art, even if it isn’t the cleanest line work or prettiest execution, and thats what really matters, right? So, without further ado, here is my very simple nail art to mark the return from my break! 


        Just some easy line work, because clearly I need work on it!


The base is my favorite baby pink, China Glaze’s Friends Forever, Right? and the gold is China Glaze’s I’m Not Lion. I used 2 coats of Friends Forever, Right? and one coat of I’m Not Lion. Top coat is HK Glisten and Glow’s top coat.

And here I included and out of focus picture so you can see the holographic beauty of I’m Not Lion 😍

Like I said before, its a rough start, but its still a start, and I’m glad to be getting back into things I enjoy doing just for the hell of it. Thanks for reading!
