NOTD/Nail Tutorial: Revlon's Really Rosy and Zoya's Pippa

Hey lovelies!
 I haven't been in to painting my nails for very long at while, but I have just recently starting doing simple "nail designs" (if you can call them that.) My favorite of which, the simple polka dots. Now I don't know about you, but I don't have the time everyday to paint every single nail and then put polka dots without them turning out horrible. So an accent finger is a wonderful way to that. Plus, using an accent figure can help you incorparte hard to wear colors easily.



 

Start with two coats of a rosy nail polish on all your fingers but the ring finger. This one's Really Rosey from  Revlon and it is one of my favorite colors. It works well for all seasons and is darker than your traditional pink but still very neutral.

 

On your ring finger, use two coats of your favorite pale yellow nail polish. This one is Pippa from Zoya. It is super impressive in the pigmentation and quality. This color can be a little bit hard to wear so I love incorpating it into different nail designs.

Use a bobby pink to put polka dots on top of the yellow. Use your rosey nail polish, as it ties the whole look together and makes the accent finger super cute.

Then your done!



NOTD: Ulta Celubutante and Wet and Wild Black Creme

I really wasn't feeling a single nail polish color today. I used to do gymnastics, and purple and black were our colors, so they hold a special place in my heart. This is 2 coats of Ulta's Celubutante (a gorgeous medium purple) and Wet and Wild's Wild Shine nail color in Black Creme.

NOTD: OPI's Mod-ern Girl

So I saw this at the clearance at my Ulta a while back, and (actually forgot I had it until now) so after I painted my nails with it, I did some research. It's actually from a 2008 summer collection, but you might be able to find it if you really love the color. It's a gorgeous coral color that leans more orange, though it depends on the lighting. I remember in Ulta I thought it was more pink, but in my living room it looks like a true coral. Then, in my sister's room (which is painted blue) it looks more orange. It took quite a few coats, but I didn't really mind. I have never tried an OPI nail polish before, and I have to say I LOVE the brush. I didn't care that I had to do 3 coats because of that brush.

 

NOTD: Essie's Dive Bar

One of my favorite new polishes is Essie's Dive Bar. Do any of you have that happy dance moment whenver one of your favorite guru's is wearing/bought a nail polish/beauty item that you have? Well Amarixe posted a NOTD with this color, and I realized I had yet to paint my nails with this color. So I went and did it! It's a gorgeous deep purple/blue duochrome color. It looks mainly black, but in the light flashes blue and purple. It was rather hard to photograph, but I did my best.

 

NOTD: Essie's Chinchilly

So I haven't painted my nails in a few days, so today I wanted to paint my nails with this color that I haven't used before. I'm honestly slightly disappointed with this nail polish. It's Chinchillyby Essie and it's a really pretty taupe color. I was expecting it to be fully opaque in one coat. But after two coats, it wasn't totally opaque. I have Revlon nail polishes that have better opacity than this color, and this color is supposed to be famous. It's a pretty result, I was just expecting more.

 

NOTD: Creme Brulee

This nailpolish from Revlon, is one of my absolute favorites. Although it takes two coats to get to an acceptable level of opacity, and it can end up being a little streaky, the finished result is gorgeous. A beautiful nude with just the right amount of sheen and shimmer, it is a nail polish I reach for often. Plus, the chipping isn't very noticeable so this is one of the only nail polishes I can wear for more than a few days without a base/top coat.
