Flying Dragon Konadicure

Just a quick post. This is the darker version of China Glaze Flying Dragon. It has neon pigments so it dries matte, but it is more of a dark purple than a bright neon.

OPI Bling Dynasty

I was really excited about OPI's Hong Kong Collection because I have family connections in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, most of the colors just didn't look good on me! So, OPI Bling Dynasty is the only polish I own from the Hong Kong collection. It reminded me immediately of gold flakes. It's a beautiful color, and has a rather antique look to it. I like that it's a bolder gold, it reminds me of treasure chests. ;)

This is three coats with artificial light. The two flash images are better examples of the vibrant color, however.

Look how it glows!

What are some of your must-haves?

Until next time! <3

Treasure Chest

Hello again! This is the manicure I did for Chinese New Year, since red and gold are lucky and I had been waiting for an excuse to try China Glaze Treasure Chest. :) The woman who runs the nail supply store I bought this from had it on her toes and it looked like gold foil. Pretty awesome!!

This took many layers since it is just a glitter and not really meant to give such full coverage, but it was fun and I liked the bling. It did chip relatively easily afterwards, but it was much smoother than I had expected it to be. These pictures don't show it, but it wasn't rough and bumpy at all! It was thick, but the individual pieces of glitter layered well.

I used Island Girl base and top coat and Jordana Black to stamp cherry blossoms (Konad S9). There are a bunch of cherry trees here and I'm really looking forward to the blossoms. ♥
