Pinkalicious meets Fake Tattoos

There's nothing better than talking with your hands, no literally, I mean having a little message on your nails.

 

It seemed to be a perfect match-up:  Pinkalicious and Fake Tattoo's Heart & Text Design sheet.

 

Seen here are 2 coats of Maybelline's Pinkalicious, a true pink in every sense of the colour!

 

This was the sheet of nail tattoos before I cut them out for the manicure.

Much Better than the Real Thing

 

Girls just wanna have fun

 

Now let's get back to business, shall we?!

 

As Enigmatic Rambles - Review Nail Tattoos correctly stated in her blog post on these nail tattoos - they are more of a water transfer.  They are so very easy to apply and come off without any trouble whatsoever with regular nail polish remover.

 

As you can see in this photo better the heart tattoo on my little finger cracked slightly right after application before putting on top coat.

 

Seen here are 2 coats of Sheer French Pink by ASK Cosmetics Inc. complimented with FAKE TATTOOS.

 

I definitely give nail tattoos the THUMBS UP!

 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stay in touch with me and my beauty-related info.

 

Take care,  Lisa M.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who is the fairest of them all?

 

The two swatches I will show you today are truly sleek understatements.  In my humble opinion they radiate elegance as well as sophistication.

Rimmel London's French Manicure PRO - French Rose

ASK Cosmetics' Sheer French Pink

 

Let's begin with Rimmel London....

 

Seen here:  3 coats

 

As the name implies, this polish will add a fine touch of light pink to your nails preparing them for a lovely French Manicure (or left without the extra applied white tips).

 

This polish is meant to be the base of a classic French manicure, however I think you could also wear it as shown above.  What do you think about this:  yes or no?

 

Now on to Sheer French Pink.......

 

Seen here:  3 coats for a good comparison (Normally I would only wear 2 coats of this polish.)

 

This shade (or lack thereof) really accentuates your natural nail colour.  It brings out the white tips and pink part of your nails very well.

 

I finish up all my manicures with an application of TIPS Nail Conditioner by ASK Cosmetics Inc.  It keeps my nails strong, yet flexible, nourished and hydrated, protected from water.

Now, be sure and leave me a comment:  Do you prefer understated nails for certain situations?  Does either one of the above shades appeal to you?

 

Til next time,  Lisa M.

Gorgeous Nails on Your Wedding Day

It's wedding season once again, and brides all around the world are getting ready for one of (if not the) biggest days in their lives.  Everything has to be perfect - from head to toe - since all eyes will be on the blushing bride.

 

One of the most exciting moments of this glorious event is when the groom slips the wedding ring on his bride's finger.  After that everyone wants to feast their eyes on her hand.  Doesn't everyone want to have the most beautiful looking hands on this day?

 

For the ultimate wedding manicure I have chosen two polishes:

 

 

This indoor photo shows Rimmel London's "French Rose 140" on the left, TIPS Nail Conditioner in the center and "Sheer French Pink" by ASK Cosmetics on the right.

 

 

Indoor photo:  3 coats of "French Rose" by Rimmel, which started out very similar in its transparency to the second polish by ASK Cosmetics, but took on much more of a pinkish tone after 2 coats.

 

Indoor photo:  3 coats of "Sheer French Pink" by ASK Cosmetics, which makes your pinks look pinker and your whites look whiter.  Many people have noticed my nails with this polish on and commented how nice my French manicure looks.

 

 

All three pics above show Rimmel's "French Rose".  If you love the slightest hint of pink on your nails, this polish will fit the bill wonderfully.

 

In the above three photos you can see my right hand with 3 coats of "Sheer French Pink" and the last one shows TIPS Nail Conditioner, which I apply after each and every manicure to treat the cuticles.

 

Some more outdoor shots to show the difference between the two....

Glitter Tips

Trending this season is a very easy DIY manicure that will certainly add some bling to your nails. 

In order to show you what it looks like I went to my stash and chose 3 glitter polishes that I thought would look best with ASK Cosmetics's Sheer French Pink - my all time favourite in sheer polishes. 

2 coats of Sheer French Pink shown here.

 

I get so many compliments when wearing this polish.  One manicurist even glanced at my nails and said, "What a subtle French manicure you have."  I said thanks and explained they were my natural nails with two think coats of Sheer French Pink. 

 

My point is:  if you nails are healthy to begin with and show vibrant shades of pink and white, then all you need is a sheer polish to enhance the natural, healthy appearance of your nails - that is, if you even choose to wear polish on them at all. 

 

Choice #1:  Sheer French Pink by ASK Cosmetics + A Cut Above by Essie as my glitter tip

 

Choice #2:  Sheer French Pink by ASK Cosmetics + Strobe Light by Sally Hansen as my glitter tip

 

Choice #3:  Sheer French Pink + Rockstar Pink by Sally Hansen as my glitter tip

 

The manicure that decorated my nails for a special Xmas party was the third version.

 

Glitter tips can be seen everywhere at the moment.  I had fun creating these looks and will show you some more glitter creations throughout the next few days. 

 

Which one would you have chosen as your holiday mani?
