Cute bunny nails

I just love bunnies and they're perfect for coming Easter.

Therefore another bunny nail art.

 

But first things first.

I got the chance to finally try the last polish I purchased from Big City Nails which is an Indie polish.

 

Big City Nails - Pearly Pastels

 

 

 

Pearly Pastels is a light pink pearly polish filled with white and pastel glitters in different sizes and shapes (bar glitters, hexes, squares and rounds).

I thought this would make a perfect Spring lacquer.

 

Hereby my swatch:

 

Maybe you've read it before but I'm actually not really a fan of these kind of polishes.

Mostly because I don't really know what to do with it.

Should you wear it on its own or as a topcoat/accent?

I'm lost!

Above is on its own with 3 coats and picture taken in shade. 

The glitters (maybe due to travelling and laying around) had sunk towards one side of the bottle.

Shaking didn't really work so I used a cotton swab to swirl everything around.

Application was smooth but the pearly base is a bit streaky and this shows, especially around the larger glitters which makes it look less like a smooth surface (see ring finger for example).

Although the pearly base is very light it does tend to hide the also light pastel glitters.

It's not a bad thing as many crelly, jelly glitter polishes do this.

I have to say that this polish is more beautiful in real life but it is my less favorite purchase of the three.

 

To make a better opinion of this polish I also tried to top it over something else.

 

Kiko 311

 

Kiko 311 is a bright pink with a subtle shimmer.

This is two thin coats and in the sun.

 

For the nail art I topped Kiko 311 with Pearly Pastels and as accent I free handed the cute girly bunny with acrylics.

 

 

As you can see Pearly Pastels also works perfect as a topcoat.

I also love the Kiko 311 peeping around the cuticles...it's an interesting look!

 

Disney Frozen Olaf nail art

Today I have another beautiful polish from Big City Nails

This one is called: Are you feeling blue?

 

Let's start with some swatches:

Are you feeling blue? is a beautiful shimmery blue polish with green undertones making it lean towards teal.

This duochrome polish has a satin finish.

I used two coats in the pictures above. First coat was quite streaky and didn't went on smooth.

Surprisingly the second coat made it opaque and a lot less streaky. Nothing a topcoat can't solve.

Pictures above are without topcoat.

Two out of three polishes are gorgeous...can't wait to try the last one...but that one has to wait till after my Autism challenge.

 

Now, for the nail art.

 I've been asked many times to make Frozen themed nails.

I actually bought the movie for my kids and they love it (and mommy too!).

However it's not really the time of year anymore to make nail arts with snow, frost and ice.

But I make an exception with this polish and this challenge.

 

Are you feeling blue?

Olaf will make you smile!

 

 

 

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.
