Don Deeva Jello Jint UP Watermarbles!

Hi! I hope you caught my last post on the Don Deeva Jello Jints. These beautiful Jints are full of unicorn pee and holo! If you didn’t and want too you can find it here. Today I’ll be sharing some watermarble manis using these beautiful Jints. I love how well these work for marbling. They spread like a dream. They work well in complimenting each other, and they look awesome over all sorts of base colors. Lets take a look at my Jello Jint marbles!

First up is a marble of Hocus Pocus and Fireball. I chose Don Deeva Big Lights Will Inspire You as my base. I love holo bases under her Jints!

I really loved these Jints over a black base so I went with a striped marble using Pink Pussycat and Sex In The Driveway. Even though you don’t get the clean looking lines of a marble over white, I really love the effect of the UP and holo.

This one is a favorite! I used Sambuca and Green Goblin over a white base. This left behind a grey with a neon pop! The flare from the UP running through is amazing.

This one turned out so bright and fun. I used Pink Pussycat, Green Goblin and Sex In The Driveway over a white base. I love this combo so much! I didn’t want to take it off. But I did want to use this as a base for some stamping!

I chose this image from UberChic Beauty plate 21-02. And I was super happy with the outcome! The Don Deeva Jints are so much fun! They are amazing for nail art. They’re completely awesome on their own, as toppers, for nail art like reverse stamping, lead lighting, marbling, smooshies... you name it! I think these are an awesome edition to anyone's collection!

The Jello Shot Jints UP exclusives launch Feb. 14th at 9am est.

Baroness X Golden Age Of Tango...Neon Collection!

Hi Dolls! Are you ready for warmer weather and brighter polish?! If you answered yes, then this one's especially for you! Baroness X is launching this collection full of neon with a touch of shimmer goodness. This means these apply like a dream, they don't require undies (a white base of polish) and they're opaque in 2-3 thin coats!

The story behind these is rather cute, I'll be quoting Demi so I hope she doesn't mind! "This collection is a tribute to my fiance's father, who we lost last year. Besides being one of the world's leaders in radio engineering, he was in a tango band that toured Cuba in the 1930s. The polishes carry the names of his favorite singers & musicians in the genre."

I also tie a lot of nail related things in my life to losses that I've had, this makes these even more special.

*disclaimer* I've always had a hard time catching neons true to color. These are slightly off, in real life they're neon like bright as fuck. Heh.... onto the polish!

Piazzolla

A pink neon with purple shimmer.

Cupo

A red neon with copper shimmer.

Gardel

An orange neon with pink shimmer.

Simone

A purple neon with aqua shimmer.

Lamarque

A magenta neon with indigo shimmer.

This collection is fantastic. I wanted to try a marble with them so of course I needed to test them. This is how that looked. The reach of my first ring could have used some help but other than that I didn't have any issues!

For marbling I use a 3oz, 5oz or a double shot glass since my nails aren't the longest and anything bigger just wastes too much polish in my opinion. Even though my practice run was a petal marble I went for a striped marble manicure and this is how it turned out.

Under the marble is 1 coat of a white polish. Some of the neons bled into each other so next time I'll switch the order of my colors a bit. I still really love it though! This is my first neon watermarble so I'll probably never forget it.

I also used the Baroness X matte cuticle balm for all of these photos and I LOVE it! The balm soaked into my skin and left very little glare. It's not greasy at all, a quick swipe into the balm with a clean up brush and run it around the cuticles... done! Highly recommend trying it out! P.S. BX also sells brushes are they're soooo cute!

Oooooh and one last thing... the acetone additive could easily be addicting. I got to try caramel pecan and it smells delicious. I love nutty bakery scents.

After shaking the vial I dumped it Into my empty 8oz reusable acetone bottle and added my acetone, gave the bottle a quick swirl to mix it all in and that was that. By the time I'm writing this up my bottle is about 1/3 the way finished. And I'm really loving how moisturized this is keeping my cuticles. I've been doing a lot of swatching lately and haven't had a single stressed out cuticle, lol. I will definitely be ordering more and more, it's gonna be a staple.

Release for the Golden Age Of Tango collection is March 31st 3pm PST.

There will be 20 sets of each full size and mini and after that full size will go on pre-order. (There will only be 20 mini sets, they are not available for pre-order.)

Alice through the looking glass

Opi Alice Through The Looking Glass

*Press Sample

Hello! It's been another long day but I made it out alive and just in time to share my swatches of the Opi Alice Through The Looking Glass collection!

This collection is made of 9 shades. 8 in the collection and an extra special limited edition shade. Let's get into the swatches!

Oh My Majesty!

OMM is an insant favorite for me. It's a slightly off white with this lovely coppery sheen that seems to glow. I freaking LOVE it! Shown is 2 coats & top coat.

What's The Hatter With You?

This is a perfect deep berry color. I think this makes a great fall shade as well. My swatch is base coat, 2 coats of color & top coat.

Fearlessly Alice

Bright and fun sums this one up. I've seen some have had staining issues, so I took caution while applying so I had very minimal clean up. I used one coat of base coat and didn't seem to have any staining at all. This is base, 2 coats of color & top coat.

Mad For Madness Sake

I think I'm starting to like more and more pinks. I can definitely see myself wearing this again and maybe with some art. This is 2 coats & top coat.

I'm Gown For Anything

Loving this almost muted shade of lilac. Great formula, 2 creamy coats & top coat!

The I's Have It

Another blue but more of a baby blue this time around. My swatch is 3 thin coats & top coat.

Having A Big Head Day

I know what you're thinking, another Red opi. Lemme tell you something (cover your eyes if you're sensitive cause I'm gonna drop some bad words...well an acronym anyway... Idgaf!!!! Opi reds are the best!!! Give them ALL to me. I'm never disappointed in a damn good red and this is definitely one of them! 2 coat perfection plus a coat of top coat!

Now this next one, well I'll let you decide.

Mirror Escape

I really hate when I have to ask why, why does opi love to shove weird matte glitter into metallic bases. Why?! I mean like I really love some of the liquid sands, but a lot of these newer textures are just missing the mark, for me anyway. If you apply too many brush strokes the glitter starts to bunch and cling to itself causing a random weird bump to pop up. So the texture is partly lumply and partly gritty.... Sigh.

While this set is already a limited edition there is one extra polish. It's sold in its own separate special box that looks like this..

What Time Isn't It?

Described as a matte black with slivers of silver. It's a grey creme with small bar glitter. Now, I'm ok with bar glitter... I'm ok with cremes but if this were more like a smokey jelly base I would have been happier maybe. The creme base holds the glitter nicely, but it's not thick enough to help the glitter cling to the nail. What does this mean? This means with too many brush strokes you end up with little bar glitter hanging off your tips. I like to call this "nail bangs/fringe" lol!! Not a fan of that. The combo is semi pleasing to the eye if you stay away from the nail bangs zone.

Since I like to end things on a positive note I have two more manis to share. First up is a marble using 4 colors shown in this post. It's not exactly what I planned because What's the hatter looks more burgundy leaning than plum, but that's ok. Here it is anyway!

This is a marble of Oh my majesty!, Fearlessly Alice & What's The Hatter With You? My base was one coat of OMM. I really love how well Opis work for marbling.

Last but not least I'm going to share this matte mani... The glossy version is on my Instagram and Facebook if you want to see those.

For this I used Polished Vino Clear Arrow Dynamics vinyls. And for polishes I used Opi Having a big head day, Black Onyx, FingerPaints neon base coat (white) and My favorite, Opi matte top coat. I can't get enough of this one!!

Opi is available at professional salons, Beauty Brands, beautybrands.com, Chatters, Dillard’s, Regis, ULTA Beauty and ulta.com.

I hope you enjoyed this post is anything from this collection catching your eye?

Until next time!

Xo, Lo
