"American Beauty" Collection Cupcake Polish

Hey everyone! I have three of six polishes from Cupcake Polish's newest collection "American Beauty" to share with you tonight.

This collection has six beautiful holographic polishes that are named after major cities in the US. The names are New York (teal), Los Angeles (pink), Chicago (purple), Dallas (red), Denver (green), and Miami (orange).

The three I have are Los Angeles, Denver, and Miami.

So I want to talk about the formula for all three of them because they are very similar. Application was super amazing, even considering it was a mini bottle with a smaller brush. No streaking, no bubbles, fast drying time. If I sound like I'm in awe of these polishes it's because I am.

I'm gonna have to buy full sized bottles for myself and wear them every other day!

For all my swatch pics I used two thin coats with a top coat.

First is "Los Angeles", a pink holo.

 Next is "Denver", a green holo.

And last is "Miami", an orange holo (also my FAVORITE).

These polishes are by far the most holographic polishes I own! My favorite is "Miami" because the holo is so intense! Here are some videos of the polishes, you can also watch them on my youtube.

NCLA "High Above the City Lights" Glitter Placement

Hey everyone! I did this really fun glitter placement manicure a few days ago. I ended up wearing this for a few days since it took so long to do!

I used OPI "Midnight in Moscow" as my base color, and on my middle finger and pinkie finger I used NCLA "High Above the City Lights". I didn't just apply the glitter normally, I placed each individual glitter onto my nail one at a time! Talk about a back-breaker.

It was totally worth it, I couldn't stop staring at my nails.

Here are the pics;

I snapped a pic when I went to New York Fashion Week! I also made the ring I'm wearing.

Thanks for reading, have a great day!

Purple & Gold Revlon Nail Art

Hey everyone! I finally caught a break from all my school work to share a new design with you!

This is my first try using my new striping tape. Of course I added some fun macro beads as well to my ring and pinkie fingers.

For this design I used Revlon "Drama" (purple), and Revlon "Gold Coin" (gold).

I painted my pointer and middle fingers with "Gold Coin" and let dry as I painted my ring and pinkie fingers with "Drama". Then I added some striping tape to my first two nails and painted one coat of "Drama" on top of the tape. I didn't wait too long before carefully pealing the tape off to reveal the gold underneath. In this photo, you can see I added one coat of my Azature Black Diamond nail polish to give it some extra shimmer. Then on my last two nails I patiently placed macro beads in a specific pattern.

I did this same design on my other hand and ended up wearing this for a whole week! So many people wanted to feel the bumpy texture of the macro beads, it was quite funny.

The striping tape I got from eBay and the macro beads I got from Michaels craft store.

That's all for today, thanks for reading!
