New Bohemian

Hey everyone,

I'm at polish number 3 in the Color Club Boho collection. This one is a beautiful minty colour which has really grown on me, called New Bohemian.


It went on a little streaky and it took 3 coats to get complete coverage, but still love the colour.


See you later for the last of the Spring Challenge,
Kelly-Ann.

Spring Challenge 4: Bugs! (Yucky!)

Hello peoples,

UGH! i'm like an hour late. But anyway here it is. It is not what I wanted it to be. :-( It was extremely messy and it was my first time working with this glue and glitter, first attempt=FAIL! The color scheme I chose was blue and purple.


Tools:

  • Simple Pleasures: purple
  • Color Club: Trippie Hippie
  • Recollections glitter: Peacock
  • MASH fan brush
  • Best Glue Ever
  • Bundle Monster: Gems



For the base colour I used the Simple Pleasures purple polish. It is a very nice and smooth polish but the brush that it comes with is the worst thing ever, so if you do buy this set or brand, I would advise to buy a brush to use with it or borrow one from an old bottle, just avoid using the brush it came with, however I did work with it, took some patience but it worked.


I used the Color Club's Trippie Hippie to sponge on to create a gradient (attempted to make a gradient). Then I used the Best Glue Ever to try and draw on my creepy crawlies, and then sprinkle the glitter on and lightly use the fan brush to brush away the excess. I do think I went a little too heavy on the glue because I ended up brushing the glue and glitter and scrambling it up. (Pictures of the creepy crawlies are below saying what they were supposed to be.)

I added some gems by Bundle Monster.


This is the finished product with the flash.


I attempted to make a spider and smushed all the glue, when I mashed it up I had to use a little of the Trippie Hippie to outline it.


This was an ant..a very pretty ant...hehe. this one came out a little better, but not how I wanted it,, you get the idea.


See you later,
Kelly-Ann.

Rad Nomad

Hi everyone,

I really like the Color Club BOHO collection and I would really like to finish a complete swatch of the collection by the end of next week the latest.

Today I did Rad Nomad which is a beautiful dark purple/gray and in dim light will look a little dark brown but still have a hue of purple.

It went on very smooth, it took 2 coats to go on fully without any transparent areas.



I also took a picture of the bottle and my nails with the flash so you can see what I meant by the different colours.


I hope you will like this collection as much as I do.

Also I wanted to announce my first give away is coming up, I am going to start it May 1st, I will show you what the prizes will be in another post tomorrow.

See you later,
Kelly-Ann.

Video Haul: Michael's, Dollar Tree, Ross, Sally's, Kroger, and Amazon

Hi everyone,

I did a haul recently and I decided to do a video of it to show you what I got. I apologize for my hair in advance, it has a mind of its own and it just gets worse throughout the video. In my defense it was 2am when I did this video.

And a correction: the Sally Hansen nailgrowth miracle actually cost me $5 not $7 dollars from Kroger with the coupon.

I hope you enjoy my first video. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and also I wanted to do an introduction video so you can "meet" me, so if you have any personal questions feel free to ask and if I can answer it I will.

Enjoy the video,
Kelly-Ann.




Nomadic in Nude

Hello lovelies,

Just wanted to show you the colour I have on now. I just love this colour, It is called Nomadic in Nude and it is from the BOHO collection by Color Club.



This is the same colour taken with the flash so you can see what it looks like in harsh light.

It is just a simply beautiful colour.

Hope you love this colour as much as I do.

See you tomorrow,
Kelly-Ann.

Spring Challenge 3: Fruits and Dots

Hi everyone,

I am so sorry I'm late with this, I was in the process of moving from one apartment to the other, and I had some school assignments due so those had to be priority. To make up for my lateness I had done 3 things for you: This challenge, a look at a colour I had previously purchased, and also a video haul. Of course they will be separate posts and they won't all be chucked up in this one post. 



Anyway, without further a due here is Challenge 3: Fruits and Dots. The colours I had chosen was yellow and green. I honestly did not like the way they turned out, so I ended up rubbing them off afterward. I was also rushing so please excuse if I didn't clean up my nails.

Tools:
  • MASH dotting tool
  • Bundle Monster plate BM04
  • EBay plate m30
  • Kleancolor: Popping Green
  • Kleancolor: Black
  • Milani: Yellow Whiz
  • Rimmel: French Lingerie



And it Begins...

I first did a single coat of Rimmel's French Lingerie

Then added so dots using the Yellow Whiz at the top and The Popping Green at the bottom.

Then I added another layer of the French Lingerie just to lightly show the dots through.

Then I added more dots on top of that layer being careful not to really cover the underlying dots.

Then lastly, I added my fruit stamps in the Black. I honestly did not like the way it turned out, and you could probably see I tried it with the white stamp at first but that didn't work out too well.

Don't forget to check out the others particpating in the challenge as well:




Thanks for stopping by,
Kelly-Ann.
