Beauty Big Bang: 3D Metal Silver Laser Holographic Nail Art Stickers

Hullo there beauties.  Coming at you today with more nail art fun stuffs from Beauty Big Bang!  Have you ever perused that website?  There is literally so much stuff you could be browsing for a good day!  But I think they turn over quite a bit of products quickly.  Sometimes that makes it hard for me to blog about because by the time I receive the package and get to the post the items could be gone.  It's happened a few times in the past and sadly the item I have for you today doesn't appear to be on the site anymore. So I can't share a SKU or price with you. I don't really see anything like these either, only foils and water slide decals.  So I'll share them anyways and let you know if you do mosey on over and shop you can save 10% with my code Obsession.

Lumina Lacquer The Snow King and Colors by Llarowe Woman from Tokyo

Good evening dears!  I have a lovely mani to share and just didn't want to wait!  It still has a holiday feel but it's not red, green, white or blue - GASP!  It's all about the purple, silver, gold and HOLO!  I quite like how it turned out.  I used some of my favorite brands for this mani - ones you've seen plenty of before on my blog so I'll skip introductions and jump into the online links.

China Glaze: Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter

I started this with 2 coats of China Glaze Gothic Lolita.  Gothic Lolita is from the 2012 Electropop collection and is a very lovely medium purple with some gorgeous shimmer.  It had a fabulous formula and great application.  I topped it with Lumina Lacquer The Snow King.  I love this glitter mix.  It's full of gold, silver and 2 shades of purple holo glitter in fun shapes - circles, snowflakes, stars, hearts and snowmen.  Sadly I didn't get any snowmen out this time.  But the nice thing is you can avoid pulling those glitter shapes out and this can be a year round color!  The Snow King had great formula and application.  Loads of glitter came out with each brush dip and it the glitter laid nice and flat on my nails.  I finished this with Colors by Llarowe Woman From Tokyo, a deep purple linear holo.  It's a very pretty color and it had a fantastic formula.  Application was a breeze.  I used 2 coats for full coverage.  I only used topcoat on my glitter nails.

Mentality Polish Rascal

It's morning time again and that means another post for you to enjoy!!  I'm moving back to the US indie brands today and I am excited to feature a brand I haven't tried yet!  Mentality Polish is a brand that has been around for about a year now and Hillary has put out some really amazing collections!  With mattes, holos, stampers, duochromes and more there is something for everyone!  Aside from having a large range the polish is priced at a reasonable price with most sitting around $7 - $8.  You can purchase Mentality from the online store, Etsy (there is a special through the end of September, spend $30 and get 20% off with code MENTALITY at checkout).  You can also follow Mentality on Facebook and Instagram (mentalitynailpolish) to keep up on news and promotions!

This is Rascal.  Rascal is part of the mate collection and is described as "a black matte with very subtle shimmer."  The shimmer is actually quite noticeable and pretty!  It actually reminds me of chalkboards - so if you were looking for a polish to do chalkboard nails with this would be a perfect base!  Rascal had nice creamy formula that was easy to work with.  I'd suggest thin coats so you can keep the layers level.  Depending on your nails you will need 2-3 coats of polish.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  

I wanted to jazz Rascal up a bit so I did a waterfall mani!  I'm so pleased with how it came out!  I used Lalya Marshmallow, Urban Outfitters Silver Holo and Jordana Black Sparkle in alternating vertical lines.  This trio of sparkly silvers really pop over the black matte!  I did not use topcoat.
