Blueberry Fizz: Fresh Blueberries!

Thursday, March 21, 2013

Hello, friends! No surprise here! I have the Julie G Frosted Gum Drops in Blueberry Fizz with a blueberry accent nail, duh!

Here's what I used to create the accent nail:

etoile Asscher | OPI DS Magic | Priti NYC Gloire de Marengo | Julie G Blueberry Fizz

I painted all my fingers, except the ring finger, with 2 coats of Blueberry Fizz.

Then, I painted one coat of Asscher on my ring finger. I used it so that I'd have a nude base with just the right amount of shimmer.

When Asscher dried, I took a small dotting tool to draw a stem and leaves going diagonally across my nail.

Use a slightly bigger dotting tool to create blueberries all along the stem with the Blueberry Fizz.

Add small dots with DS Magic to create the "tops" of the blueberries.

I didn't use a top coat at all for this mani.

Product Review: Priti NYC Polish

Thursday, January 31, 2013

Today I have 2 colors from Priti NYC Polish. These are are from their newest collection called Orient Express.

If you've never heard of Priti NYC before, be sure to check them out. Priti polishes are 4-free and non-toxic. They also have other products such as soy nail polish remover, recycled glass nail files, and a Priti Princess collection for children.

These bottles are available now on their website for $13.50 a bottle.

My nail mail package included these two beauties. The green is called Gloire De Marengo and the purple is called Lady Betty Balfour.

First up is Gloire De Marengo. It is a beautiful evergreen color that really resembles the plant it is named after. It is metallic, which I love, and it applies flawlessly with just 2 even coats. Pictures are shown with no top coat and I think I prefer it that way.

Lady Betty Balfour is a purple named after the Clematis flower. Although this polish appears darker than what it's named after, it's very beautiful. It is also a metallic but the application for this one is a bit different. In the pictures, you can see a few streak marks, but I wouldn't say that it's a downfall of the polish.

I hope you like these two colors from Priti NYC's Orient Express collection. For more information on their polish and other products, please visit them on:
