MoYouNails Salon Pro 7 Party Designs Review + Giveaway

Happy Saturday!

Today I have part 4 of my MoYouNails Salon Pro 7 Set. I decided to do a bunch of manicures related to party/fun themes. My first manicure is a beach party theme. I did a plain base so the decals would pop more. I used all the colors from MoYouNails mixed with white so the colors would pop. The patterns transferred very easily. I love the details on the palm tree and dolphin. 

The second manicure I decided, was a black and white party theme. I like how the mustache transferred completely without any problems. It actually reminds me of a monopoly theme.

I decided to do a rock and roll theme for my third manicure. The guitar transferred amazingly well. It looked so pretty! I stamped with MoYouNails 'Down Gray.'

My last manicure is a fun masquerade theme. The full nail pattern on the index and pinky finger transferred nicely. It makes me think of poker/card games. I did reverse stamping with the mask. I colored in the mask with white polish and red for the lips.

Overall I liked the nail designs. With all the designs offered in this plate, you would have enough different manicures for the entire year!

China Glaze Apocalypse of Color Fall 2014 Review + Swatch

Happy Monday!
Halloween is right around the corner and I have a sweet treat for you. Today I have the Apocalypse of Color Collection Halloween 2014. The collection includes 4 polishes, 1 glitter topper, and 1 glow in the dark polish. The colors and textures are perfect for Halloween. I think they did a great job capturing the essence of the holiday. 



'But of Corpse' is a green base with black and green shimmer. The formula is thin allowing for multiple layers to be applied. The polish dries to a matte finish. This is two coats with no top coat.


'I Love Your Guts' is a magenta base with black and red shimmer. The formula is thicker then 'But Of Corpse' with spot addition of glitter needed. The polish dried to a matte texture. This is two coats with no top coat. 

'Don't Let The Dead Bite' has a nude pink with red glitters. The glitters are micro and macro in size. I love how all the different sizes in glitter give the polish so much manicure. The polish dried to a shiny finish. This is three coat with no top coat. 

'Ghoulish Glow' is a glow in the dark polish. I put two coats over 'Don't Let The Dead Bite' so you can see the red glitter through the polish. I must say it was difficult taking a picture of this product. Just keep in mind that you need to be in light for a few minutes to activate the glow in the dark quality once in the dark.

'Getting to Gnaw You' is a semi opaque black polish with copper shimmer. The polish dried to a shiny finish. This is two coats with no spot addition of glitter needed. I must say that I have nothing like this in my collection. Perfect color to pick if you want a dark look, but want to try something other than black!

'Rest In Pieces' is a clear polish with glitter pieces. I think this would look amazing with a black base. The polish dried to a shiny finish. This is two coats with spot addition of glitter.


What are your thoughts about the collection? I really like how they avoided going with an orange theme and focused on other colors that make you think of Halloween. I think the textured finished adds a nice touch. My favorite is 'Don't Let The Dead Bite' because I think it would look great as a manicure throughout the entire year. This collection was released early this month and will not last long in stores I am sure about it. So be quick in picking these up if you see something you like!

MoYouNails Salon Pro 7 Nature Designs Review + Giveaway

Today I have another review for you. This is part 3 of my MoYouNails Stamping plate review. I decided to pick a nice variety of designs to show you. First I have a simple owl design. I used CiateLondon 'Dare to Bare' as a base coat. I stamped with MoYouNails 'Down Grey' to show some contrast. I think the owl is just so cute! I added a simple zig zag which added a nice touch that did not distract from the owl. 
My second manicure includes a few designs on the plate. I used Essie 'Truth or Flare' as a base coat. I then stamped everything with MoYouNails white polish. The patterns all transferred nicely. 
I used the Lily design for my third manicure. I used CultCosmetics 'Troubador' as a base coat. Then added stamping with MoYouNails white polish. I scrapped off parts of the design on the stamp before applying it to different nail to give the manicure more dimension. 
The last design I did a simple french tip with flowers. I did alternating pink and white so you can see how it pops. The design transferred nicely with no difficulties. I like how the ring finger turned out more. 

MoYouNails wanted to offer you a chance to win the following items: 8 polishes shown below, a stamper/scraper set, the corrector pen, the nail polish remover pump, 6 plates, and lots of rhinestones!
