More Leather More Studs

   So I know I've posted a look with this Nails Inc Leather effect polish and studs recently, but I really love it and I had to use it again. I know that textures are really big this spring and I can totally see why. They dry fast and give you and awesome edgy look with no need for any top coat. That was actually why I used this again, I was feeling lazy and this nail polish gives an awesome effect with minimal effort.

  I did change the studs up from last time. The arrangement this time was just copied off of one of the fingers on the box. I also think the pictures I took look better than last time. It's really hard to take a decent picture of this nail polish.

Baker Street accented with Whirled Away

  I've had China Glaze Whirled away for a while now and have been meaning to use it, but I just kept forgetting. I finally used it earlier this week and I can't believe I've waited so long to use it! I chose to use this color over Nails Inc Baker Street because I felt like this would look best over some sort of cream color.

 This one was a little difficult to apply because the glitter is so large and it required some fishing for the large white hexes. I used two coats of Baker Street and two coats of Whirled Away on each accent nail and finished with a coat of Seche Vite.
 

Nails Inc. Bling It On - Rebel Leather Effect Nail Kit

   Hey guys I'm back! I hope everyone had an awesome and happy new year! It feels like I've been away for so long, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I was enjoying the holidays and to be honest I didn't do anything very special to my nails. For my first post of the new year I have something very special... Leather Nails!

  About a month ago I'd heard about Nails Inc releasing this Leather Effect nail polish in the UK and how It'd sold out in minutes. When I saw a few swatches of it I knew exactly why, this polish looks just like leather and it's awesome.

   So, last week when I was browsing Sephora.com I saw that Nails Inc had a new kit that included the leather nail polish, Bling It On - Rebel. Luckily, I had a gift card, so I snatched this up! I know that this sort of thing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but personally, I love love love this. I love all things leather and studs, so this is perfect for me.

   Here it is! This s two coats of Nails Inc Leather Effect. I did this over two coats of base coat and no top coat because that would ruin the leathery look. This nail polish goes on shiny and dried (very fast) to a textured finish. This isn't completely rough, I'd describe it as feeling like a rock or smooth cement maybe. 

  Speaking of texture, I've noticed that texture is going to be a pretty big trend with polish companies in 2013

Here's one of the skull studs on my thumbnail.

Here are some pics of the kit, This kit includes (from the sephora site)

- 0.33 oz Leather Effect Nail Polish
- 4 Skull Embellishments
- 10 Studs
- 50 Swarovski Elements Crystals
- 0.1 oz Nail Glue
- 2 Cuticle Sticks

This was $25 on sephora.com so it is a little pricey for a polish and studs. I probably wouldn't have purchased this if I didn't have a gift card, and although I really like the crystals and skull and studs in this, I wish they would just let you purchase the polish by itself.

Baker Street and Beyond Cozy

 
   Hey guys! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend and had a great holiday, if you celebrated. If anyone went Black Friday shopping, I hope you scored some good deals.

  Here are a couple of new nail colors that I got that I thought would look really awesome together.

 The blue is Baker Street from Nails Inc. I have been lusting after this color for a while now and I finally got it with my Sephora 20% off VIB. It's a royal blue that is dark and bright at the same time, if that makes sense. The formula on this is smooth and it glides on amazingly.

The silver is Essie Beyond Cozy from the 2012 holiday collection. It's an antique silver micro glitter, so this silver has an almost gold tinge to it. This one is a winner, It also had great and easy application and this is only two coats of it! When I saw it in the bottle, I thought I would for sure need 3 coats, nope.
