Let it Shatter

Hello ladies!

I've been so impatiently waiting for my order I can't wait to get it tomorrow hopefully. What I have for you today is something that I'm not really a big fan of. This is the only one that I have in my stash that I don't like that much. It's a shatter polish from OPI it's called Super Bass from the Nicki Minaj Collection.

I used:

Base Color - Pink Friday by OPI

Shatter - Super Bass by OPI

Top Coat - Seche Vite

I just thought of giving it a try so that it won't stay in my stash unused. I think I kinda like it a little bit. I'm not just a big fan of shatters/crackles.

There you have it guys. 

Monday Layering

Hello ladies!

Finally I'm in the mood to do my nails today, I guess I need to pinch myself every time I feel lazy doing it lol. So lately I've been busy with giveaways! Yeah you heard me giveaways baby. I'm addicted to it, in fact I won for the first time a giveaway by The Painted Pony, if you haven't followed her better check her blog out. I won a full size Lush Lacquer Polish of my choice and I chose "Snow Globe".

So I cannot wait for it to arrive. Well moving on, my mani for today is all about layering. Since I have this glitter polish that I only used one time and I kind of have a mixed feeling about it, I was not quite impressed when I wore it for the first time, and I'm talking about OPI Save Me from Nicki Minaj collection and now I realize why. I will tell you about it as I go along.

I used:

Base Color - Fly by OPI

1st Layer - Paying With Platinum by Spoiled

2nd Layer - Save Me by OPI

Top Coat - Seche Vite

1 thick coat of Fly by OPI no top coat

Fly layered with 1 coat of Paying With Platinum no top coat

final layer 1 thick coat of Save Me

with flash

Save Me is a beautiful glitter polish with a clear base composed of silver micro-glitters, teal and holo bars/strings glitter. At first I didn't liked it at all, but now I know why, this is one of those glitter polish out there that you need to have a specific base color in order for you to appreciate its beauty or better yet wear it alone. So now I'm loving it, just need to have a perfect base for it. So that's it for me today guys, til next time.

NOTD: Lucky Clouds

Hey lovelies!

How are you guys doing today? I'm so glad I finally pushed myself to do my nails, I'm just so addicted to games lately -____- sigh! they surely are. Before I came up with my mani today I thought of what colors to choose first and to my surprise I never thought it would turn out what I didn't expect it to be.

I called it lucky clouds because it turned out like a St. Patrick's nail art theme, and this is actually my first attempt of clouds design. This is also one of the trendy nail art out there and the first free hand cloud design I came across with was nailside's and her clouds are perfect. So let me show my first free hand cloud design.

I used:

Base Color - Permission To Proceed by Spoiled

Accent Nail Base Color - Metallic 4 Life by OPI over Correction Tape by Spoiled

Clouds - Did It On Em by OPI, Correction Tape by Spoiled and Permission To Proceed by Spoiled

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Let me know your thoughts with my nails today guys, I would love to hear it. 'Til next time guys.

xoxo Tintin

Fishtail Braids Attempt

Hey guys!

I haven't been so productive with my posts lately, our internet service have been acting up and it just gets on my nerves. So it has been a movie time almost everyday. So what I have for today is my first attempt of fishtail braids that is so trendy nowadays.

I used:

Base Color - Kleancolor Metallic Pink
Braids - OPI Pink Friday
              Kleancolor Metallic Pink
              Spoiled Correction Tape

It's a little bit decent, the lines are not straight at all did it with free hand. So I'm a little bit happy about it.

Girls off topic, I have to share this movie that we've seen the other day. If you're husband and boyfriend haven't seen this movie yet, I recommend that you should mention this to them. This is so far the best action packed movie I've seen in years it's an Indonesian action martial arts movie called "The Raid" the American title is The Raid: Redemption. I'm sure they're going to love this movie and if you're into brutal action movies as well, this movie is for you.

Until next time lovelies :)

NOTD: Assorted Art

Hey guys! Yupp I know I was missing in action lately but I'm back with a spanking post lol no not really spanking. I'm not gonna say much, so here's my nail of the day.

I used:

Base color - Did It On 'Em OPI
Accent Colors - Metallic Pink & Metallic Mango by Kleancolor

My First Stamping

Hello guys!

I was about to post this yesterday but I got caught up with some stuff but better late that never. So finally, I got these stuff on my mail yesterday was so happy.

25 MASH Stamping Plates, Stamper & Scraper and Dotting Tools

And then I got excited and tried a first stamped mani for the first time.

I used:

Base Color - OPI Fly

Stamp Color - Kleancolor Pastel Yellow

My Left Hand

My Right Hand 

The stamping wasn't so good not bad either, considering it's my first time and needs to practice more. So far I don't have problems with the designs they were all pretty and interesting and they transfer pretty much well on the nails during stamping the only thing that I don't like about it, the full nail designs are too little for my thumb nail. Let me show you.

Lol! See how little it is, it didn't fit on my whole entire thumb nail

I will be doing more stamping manis later on to let you guys see their designs. So for now, that's about it. See you guys next time and take care lovelies :).

My First Gradient

How are you guys doing today? Today my post is about my first gradient mani which it turned out to be pretty, the gradient wasn't really that perfect but not bad either, but I think I pulled it off with a little help of the holo foil strip that I bought when I was still in the Philippines. I will tell you more about it, as we go along.

Okay so first things first, my base color and gosh I want to smack myself from taking photos of this color, it's a Hot Neon Pink polish from Ruby Kisses HD it's just so hard to photograph using my iPhone. I really need to get a good camera one day. So anyway, I tried really hard to get good photos but I don't think the photos below are really true to color. Let me show you what I'm talking about.

2 coats

So then, I decided to make a gradient mani instead. I used OPI Did It On Em to achieve the gradient  look over my base color. I kind of managed to execute the idea, however it wasn't really successful I don't know, I just let you be the judge. But there's something extra, to make the look pretty special I remember that I have stuff that I use for scrapbooking and I thought it would be cool to apply it on my nails even though they're not intended for nail art but I did an experiment somehow.

So that 's my finish mani right there. Well I think you know that it's self-explanatory how I did the whole thing right? Well guys what do you think of this mani? Do you want to try to use a scrapbooking material as nail art? Share me your thoughts and if did this mani inspired you somehow. Thanks for reading this post. 

Pink Friday + Frenzy

everyone, I'm back! I was suppose to post this yesterday but I wasn't feeling well and I'm glad I feel better today. I really like the weather since yesterday it's cooler than the usual I love summer but I don't like when it gets really hot. Anyway my mani that I did yesterday is a free-hand funky french mani.

What I used:

Base Color - OPI Pink Friday
French Tip - Iriscolors Frenzy

OPI Pink Friday & Iriscolors Frenzy

I really love Pink Friday the color is so sweet I love that it is creme. OPI has a great formula, I'm not a fan of the brush though since I don't have a flat nail bed or I guess I need more practice using their wide flat brush. And for Frenzy I love the pink and blue glitter so cute but I don't like this brand at all because the base is so thick and it has a horrible smell, I'm not going to buy this brand ever again.

Well I might wear this mani for two days or more it depends, sometimes I get lazy doing my nails. What do you think of the mani? I would love to hear from you and thanks for reading my post, until next time. Love y'all!

Since I'm beginning to build my own collection of nail polish maybe it would be fun to share it to everyone here. So for now since I'm still learning to get the hang of this, today I am posting my first set of random nail polishes that's on my collection right now.

So first off, this collection was a belated birthday gift from my husband, ain't he sweet ^_^?
