Nail Polish Spotlight: SC Cinderella

Today's polish spotlight is going to shine over the lovely Cinderella by Sinful Colors!  I LOVE this polish and I think that it's the perfect color for Spring!  This polish is a mixture of orange/pink mylar pieces in a light blue jelly based polish.  I've seen this polish all over YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook and everybody and their mom talks about how much they love it so I decided to check it out.  When I first saw the polish it was love at first sight and then I painted my nails...

Sinful Colors "Cinderella"

This picture will NOT do this polish justice!!!  If I could marry this polish I would!  The color isn't the most opaque but the finish that it gives your nails make the 3-4 coats that you have to paint them worth it!  I strongly encourage y'all to at least go to Walgreens and look at this polish for a minute or two! (Lol)  I'm not sure if this color is limited edition but if it is, then I'm definitely going to buy a second bottle of this.

What do y'all think of Cinderella and what other polishes do y'all think should shine under the nail polish spotlight?

Ombre Mani 101: Tips and tricks

Hey y'all today I'm going to talk about a nail trend that has been all over Pinterest for a while.  I'm talking about Ombre manicures!  Surprisingly I just discovered this nail trend via Pinterest in February!  In this post, I'm going to talk about this trend and give you some tips and tricks to achieve an amazing ombre manicure on your own nails!

My Easter Mani!

Hey y'all!  I hope y'all had an amazing Easter holiday.  I just wanted to share my Easter mani with you all.  I originally wanted to keep a turquoise stone nail design that I did (I'll do a separate blog post on it) but my polish started chipping after 3 DAYS! : (  Since that tragedy happened, I decided to try the half moon mani out.  My first attempt was all wrong because I used the worse possible colors!( I would show y'all a picture but I had to delete them!)  My second attempt came out a lot better.

I used SH Celeb City and Pacific Blue

This time around I used a more opaque polish as my base color, which made this process a lot smoother.  I also took this opportunity to make a basic half moon mani tutorial on my YouTube channel, which you can watch here.

At first, I wasn't really sure how I liked this design, but it eventually grew on me.  I do think that I will like it more once my nails get a little bit longer but overall, I like this design and will do it more in the future.

China Glaze Magnetix Polish Review

I've wanted to try this new type of nail polish that everyone and their mom have been talking, which is magnetic nail polish. The only thing that had stopped me from purchasing them in the beginning was the price of them. Most of the companies that were selling them had them for around $15-$16! To me, that's just way too much to spend on a trendy polish that I might not like; so when I heard that China Glaze was coming out with a line of magnetic polishes I was extremely excited! The CG ones were less than half the price of the higher end magnetic nail polishes and had more variety of colors and magnet designs. I purchased my polishes at Sally's Beauty Supply while they had the buy 2 get the magnet free sell. These are the colors I purchased:

Simple Pink and Gold Polka Dots

So I've been feeling the Spring fever lately and decided to do a quick and simple nail design using some colors that are going to be trending this spring. To start my series of spring nail tutorials, I wanted to do something that didn't require a lot of skill. This is what I came up with:

The colors that I used are "Cream Pink" by sinful colors for the background and "Goldmine" by WetnWild for the polka dots. You can definately achieve this look with any color combination that you want. You can even use more than two colors to create a more vibrant look. To see the tutorial for this design click,here. Also don't forget to check out my YouTube channel, CDesigns92, for more nail tutorials and other nail/beauty videos.
Take care,

Nail Polish Spotlight: SH Coral Reef

So I was watching a haul video on YouTube by Kellster Makeup and she bought a whole bunch of new polishes for the spring. Obviously, I'm going to fall in love with all of the colors since spring and summer are my favorite seasons when it comes to nail polish colors. Majority of the colors that she hauled were some similar to ones that I already own, but when she showed a new polish by Sally Hansen I knew I had to have it. It was a gorgeous bright coral color that took my breath away. After watching the video I made it my mission to find that polish and the next day that mission was completed.

When I got back from the store I immediately painted my nails and fell in love.
