OPI Make Him Mine with Rhinestones!


  Hey guys! It's been so long since I've posted! I think the last time I posted any nail art was around Halloween. My nails have been in such horrible condition these last few months that I honestly didn't want to post at all, but I've been trying to take extra good care of them so I can start getting back to posting regularly.  

  The nails I'm wearing today are featuring OPI Make Him Mine from the Mariah Carey Holiday Collection. This was one of the six Liquid Sand shades that were in the collection. This color is a pinkish nude shade with tiny glitters throughout it.

  I needed about three thin coats of this for it to be completely opaque. The formula on all of the Liquid Sand polishes in this collection were really good. They weren't thick, they applied evenly and dried nicely. 


  On my accent nail I added some rhinestones of all different sizes. I haven't used rhinestones for anything in a while, so I really like how this tuned out. Pink and sparkly haha this one seems nice for Valentines Day...

I went crazy with these Born Pretty Store Studs!


    Hey guys! Do you like studs? I know I do and today I have a review of this awesome nail wheel filled with studs from Born Pretty Store. This wheel has 12 different styles of studs in gold, silver, and black. As you can see here, I went a little stud crazy...


   This set has a ton of different shapes including hearts, stars, small dots, medium dots, circles, squares, teardrops, and ovals. Some of these are in both silver and gold and there are even some black dots.
    The only two in this set I had trouble with were the hearts and the stars. They're usable, but they're too big for any nails but my thumbs. Other than that, these are easy to use and they're aluminum plated so thy could be reused if you want them to be.


   I didn't count these, but there are enough studs here to do a lot of different things. The website says that this has approximately 300 all together.


  For my nails I stuck with only the gold studs and placed them over Essie Turquoise & Caicos. I wasn't really following any pattern, I just placed them where I thought they looked good.
  
   I used an orange wood stick dipped in a tiny amount of clear polish to pick these up and place them. I finished this off with a thin amount of top coat over the studs to avoid any bubbles.

Black Cat Lacquer "The Skinner"


     This is "The Skinner" from Black Cat Lacquer. I have been on an indie polish kick this month, and when I saw this on etsy I had to have it. I really think it was the description that sold me "Part of our Darkly Dreaming collection, The Skinner is made to look like the bleeding flesh of his victims." Haha I like weird things...

    Anyway, This nail polish is a red micro glitter in a nude/light pink base. I have nothing like this and I've never seen anything like this either. That could be a reason why I loved it so much. The formula of this is perfect and I only needed two coats for it to be completely opaque, and this went on surprisingly smooth for a nail polish with glitter.

   I already have soo many Halloween nail ideas for this planned in my head... is it Halloween time yet? haha

    And any other Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire fans think of House Bolton...I really feel like this would be their official nail polish.

    If i had to grade this, I'd give it an A+ I love love love it! Here are some pictures!




This nail polish was purchased with my own money and all opinions are mine.
