Blue holo flower nail art

I actually didn't want to do a nail art today.

For two reasons:

1) I'm not feeling very well :(

2) This polish doesn't need anything

 

Let's start with the polish.

This is my first Indie polish and it is from the Netherlands...yay!

Thanks to another blog...don't know the name anymore because I was on a huge Google/blog search for Dutch Indies :-/

I finally found Big City Nails

And ordered 3 beautiful polishes.

 

Today I show you "The sky is the limit"

 

 

Are you seeing the gorgeous holo glitter already?!

 

 

I love the bottle top. It's like a giant "The sky is the limit" gemstone.

In fact every nail polish bottle should contain this...don't you agree?

 

 

The hand written polish name...definitely Indie and personal :D

Oah and a little peek of the polish on the nails.

 

Here are some more swatches:

This picture is taken in sunlight (but we didn't have much today).

 

The sky is the limit is a clear polish filled with a great amount of blue and holo glitters.

Pictures above are 3 coats and 1 coat of Seche Vite topcoat.

With the first coat I wasn't sure if I could get this polish opaque but it built up very quickly with the next coats and also dried a lot faster than other glitter polishes.

There wasn't much sunlight today but when this polish hits the light...ahum...breathtaking.

I bought it for €6,95 ($9,54)

For sure a polish and webshop I can recommend.

 

For the nail art I only did a simple flower on the accent nail.

 

 

Polishes used:

- Big City Nails - The sky is the limit

- Layla Holgram Effect 07 Ocean Rush

- Maybelline Color Show 661 Ocean Blue

- China Glaze 544 Liquid Leather

 

April is Autism Awareness month

Light it up blue!

Movement meant to shine a light on Autism.

April is Autism Awareness month and for that people all around the world are lighting it up blue to show their support.

And of course the nail community can't pass on this.

More precisely I don't even want to pass on this.

Autism is everywhere around me.

Last year I joined this Facebook group which started Paint It Blue for Autism.

It was a huge success but this year we want it to be even bigger.

Who will join me for Autism?!

 

How?

- Join the Facebook group (isn't a must but would be nice as you can show of your nails there as well)

- Post your pictures anywhere (on your regular media with #paintitblue and/or #bluenailsforautism)

That's it :D

 

 

I'll try to do as many nail arts/swatches as I possibly can.

 

Starting with a simple mani created with a nail art set that I got from H&M (fashion store).

Containing a baby blue polish called "Blue" and blue iridescent glitter.

 

 

First a swatch of the polish:

 

 

I used the glitter as a gradient. Except for the accent nail which is all glitter.
