China Glaze Swatch! (Flying Dragon)

Hey Guys! So I got this China Glaze polish from Ulta a while ago...well I actually got 3, but this ones really pretty:). It's called Flying Dragon(neon). The picture is pretty close to what the color looks like, but in person it's a little darker and it has these small blue and pink sparkles all over. Here's what Flying Dragon looks like..
Heres 2 coats of the color and a topcoat on. The polish comes out really smooth and it was easily spread.
It was hard to get good lighting but you could see some of the blue sparkles.
I put a matte topcoat on to see how it came out. It looked ok, but the pictures not the best and it looks way better shiny:).

Bye Guys!!

L.A Colors Swatch! (Treasure Island + Radiant)

Hey Guys!! So I got these two nail polishes from the Dollar Tree the other day and I wanted to show you how they looked! Just because they were from the dollar store doesn't mean their bad quality at all! I have a bunch and they work great. :)
(No Flash)
Ok, So here's the two colors I used. The sparkly one is called Treasure Island and the other is called Radiant.
(Flash)
You could see it better in this picture, but the blue doesn't exactly look like it really does.
This is how Radiant came out with two coats. The color is a little see through but it works great for layering sparkles over it.:)
The sparkles came out really nice and smooth and looked really good! I forgot to take a picture but I used my NYC Matte Topcoat and it looked so cool!
Here are some pictures of it with flash and no flash. I don't have the best camera so the pictures aren't that good, but I think it came out really great!

Dream Catcher Nails!!

Hey guys! So this design is another one from Pinterest! There wasn't a tutorial, but I still figured it out:).

If you want to see the original picture go here - http://usegram.com/p/TUVWHzFkq2


I used:
 -Claire's Cosmetics- Mean Green
 -Maybelline Color Show- Coral Crush
 -LA Colors White Striper
 -Maybelline Express Finish- Black
 -Dotting Tool
 -LA Colors Black Striper (not pictured)
 -Gold Sparkles (also not pictured)
Start off by painting all four of your fingers a turquoise/light blue color and your thumb coral or light pink. If you're using the Claire's "mean green" it;s easier if you put a thin white coat and then put two coats of the color.
Sorry it's a little blurry
On your index finger make a circle, but don't close it all the way. Make sure the open end is facing your middle finger.
Ok, it's a little hard to explain, but make a diamond using your white striper and put more lines in between the points on the diamond? Confusing I know :/ Use your dotting tool to put a coral dot in the middle of the diamond.
On your middle finger make a full black circle. Try to line in up with the first circle.
In the middle of the black circle make a smaller, coral circle with white stripes all around them. On the bottom of the circle do 4 black lines and dots.
On your ring finger make 2 black lines all the way down your nail making sure they line up with the 2 outside lines on your middle finger. On the smaller 2 lines do a coral dot and white feathers.
And lastly, on your pinky do 2 more bigger white feathers somewhat in line with the long black lines.
On your thumb write out "Dream", but if that's too hard you could always just keep it coral. I also added these semi-big pieces of glitter that I just got from the Dollar Store yesterday:)
And here's what the dream catcher looks like all done!! I like this one!!

Any ideas? Comment Below!

Bye Guys!!!<3
