Emily De Molly Cosmic Forces

I was lucky enough to get my hot hands on a bottle of this beauty a few weeks ago from Llarowe. It is a stunning polish! I used three coats over Rescue Beauty Lounge Pause and topped it of with a coat of Seche Vite.

Isn't it awesome! The huge lavendar holo dots do some crazy color changes. The polish is opaque on its own in two/three coats but it's a jelly so it allows so this crazy amount of depth on your nail. This is one of those polishes that you can't explain and pictures do not do it justice! It is a beauty and one of the most  unique polishes I have ever used. If you are in the US you can buy Emily De Molly from LLarowe (she is the best, great shipping and customer service!) and if your international check out her website Emilydemolly.com for shipping info.  
Have a great Friday!!

Mani Muse Monday - Forever21

Woo hoo! Mani Muse Monday again! I found my inspiration while wasting time on instagram. I came upon the coolest crop top by Forever21 and I knew I had to use it as my inspiration.

I first started with a gradient. I painted my nails white, then painted Sally Hansen Punch Rose (pink), Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow (yellow), Sinful Colors White and Wet N Wild I Need A Refresh-Mint (teal). I painted them on the sponge in that order then sponged the polish up and down on my nail until I was happy with the gradient.

I let it dry then stamped over the gradient. For my index and middle finger I used Pueen Stamping Plate 11, my ring finger is Pueen plate 8 and Pueen plate 10 for my pinky. To stamp I used the polish out of my Finger Paints Stripper. I have found the polish for the strippers is thicker, more pigmented and they work really well for stamping!

These look so cool in person. I am really happy with how they turned out! Don't forget to add  your links too. Here is the link to the inlinkz code so you can join in!

Mani Muse Monday

I don't know if you've noticed the little picture on the side of the blog but it's for Mani Muse Monday.

What this entails is you pick a muse, then do a manicure inspired by it! I thought it would be a fun thing for other bloggers, nail polish lovers and anyone else to join in on. I have an inlinkz code set up (hopefully it works) and you can grab it here.

On to my mani muse Monday manicure. I chose an adorable gift bag a friend gave me. I loved the teal color, the pops of red and the polka dots on the bag.

For my nails I used China Glaze For Audrey as a base on all of them. Then I stamped my middle finger with China Glaze Snap My Dragon from Pueen Plate 22. For my ring finger I did a gradient with Shimmer Polish Jasmine. On my index and pink I used China Glaze Dandy Lion Around for the dots.

I had a lot of fun doing my first Mani Muse Monday. I hope you join in on the fun next week!

Pink to Black Gradient Nails

Hey, how's it goin? I have some pink and black nails to show you. I was contacted by Refinery29 to enter their nail art contest early on Instagram (you can follow me here) and these are what I came up with. I used China Glaze Escaping Reality and Orly Liquid Vinyl.

What do you all think? I wanted something edgy but clean at the same time. The lines remind me of an old Adidas shirt I used to have. A little throw back to the 80's!
