Orly Elsbeth's Rose With China Glaze Full Spectrum

Orly Elsbeth's Rose is a dull pink creme that is pretty boring on its own but with China Glaze Full Spectrum as a top coat I think it is beautiful. This is a perfect eye catching- but work appropriate- manicure. For this mani I used two coats of Elsbeth's Rose with one thin coat of Full Spectrum.

Born Pretty Nail Dotting Tools

I am back with another quick review from www.bornprettystore.com. This time I have their popular Nail Dotting Tools. I think these are pretty self explanitory. They were very easy to use and very easy to clean! I haven't been doing very much time consuming nail art over the last year but this I can handle. I think the possibilities for nail art with these is pretty endless.

Born Pretty Cuticle Oil

I was recently given the opportunity to review 2 different Cuticle oils from www.bornprettystore.com. I have tried Born Pretty Store products before and have never been disappointed. These cuticle oils are amazing. I have actually never used cuticle oil before so i did not know what to expect. I have only been using these for 1 week and after each use my nails look healthier. They come in 10 different scents, so if you buy the set you can keep one at work, in the car, purse, anywhere.

I currently have pomegranate at work, and jasmine with my nail supplies at home. They both have a very light scent that is very similar to one another. If you would like to try these oils out I highly recommend them. I am planning on buying the full set of ten when my samples run out. If anyone has any other recommendations for nail/cuticle products please leave them in the comments below :-)

White Cap: The First Polish I have Repurchased

My absolute favorite nail polish is China Glaze White Cap. I adore White Cap as a top coat and I have run out of my bottle after purchasing it just 1 year ago. If you do not own this polish yet i highly recommend adding it to your collection! Here are a few past manicures with White Cap as a top coat.

China Glaze Optical Illusion: Mermaid Nails

China Glaze Optical Illusion is a beautiful glitter duochrome from the Prismatic collection. It is pretty sheer on its own so I decided to use China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise as a base. Turned Up Turquoise was one of the first China Glaze polishes I owned, and I highly disliked it. It dries to a dull matte finish so I only use it with a pretty topcoat. If you would like to see a really fun bright manicure I previously did with Turned Up Turquoise click here. I love this combination and I will be definitely purchasing more Prismatic polishes with my next swagbucks gift cards.

Shine Of The Times & Pixy Stix

Orly Pixy Stix is a pretty pink/ coral creme from the Sweet 2010 Spring Collection. I think it is okay on its own but it is even prettier with a fun top coat. I have previously used China Glaze Rainbow as a top coat- you can read that post here. I have tried several polishes with Essie Shine Of The Times on top and I have loved them all. This manicure is two thick coats of Pixy Stix with one coat of Shine Of The Times.
