Pretty & Polished: Cheer Camp

It was love at first sight with the polish.<3 Milky base always catches my attention and the glitter mix of baby pink and lavender hex glitters and micro pink glitters makes this an awesome polish! Application was super smooth and the glitters don't clump at all. Also, I dislike small brushes as they don't spread the polish very well and this polish came with a small brush. Luckily, the formula for this polish is so smooth that even a small brush pose no problem! I am very impressed and satisfied with the polish. :)

Index and middle finger: 3 coats of Cheer Camp
Ring finger: 2 coats of OPI I Pink I Love You and 2 coats of Cheer Camp
Pinky: 2 coats of OPI I Pink I Love You and 1 coat of Cheer Camp



3 coats of CC VS 2 coats of OPI IPILY and 2 coats of CC VS 2 coats of OPI IPILY and 1 coat of CC
CC alone has a white base so I added OPI IPILY to give it a pink undertone.


Then, I added a bit of nail art to this mani.




The tools I have used:

Pin, fine paint brush and small dotting tool



1. Use a dotting tool to dot out the cloud.
2. Use a pin to dot 2 vertical lines (I used a pin instead of a dotting tool as it can create smaller dots).
3. Using the pin again, draw a small 'v' (which represent the heart) under one of the dotted lines.
4. Draw another small 'v' under another dotted line.
5. Use a fine brush to trace the hearts with white polish. Lastly, seal your mani with a topcoat.


Thanks for reading! :)

Pretty & Polished: Libra Scales

Libra Scales is a blue glitter bomb! It has blue square glitters, small hex glitters and shard glitters in a blue jelly base. It was quite easy to apply but the glitters need to be built up. There weren't a lot of glitters in 1 coat.

Libra Scales: 2 coats alone with Seche Vite topcoat





Of course, to make it more representative of "scales", I have to stamp scales over them!

Nail polishes used for scales, from thumb to pinky: Essence Sparkling Champagner, Michelle M49, Essence Chic Reloaded, Essence Mystic Mermaid, Essence Glisten Up!

Thumb: Essence Sparkling Champagner

From the picture, I think Essence Mystic Mermaid shows up the best as scales, while Essence Glisten Up! can't be seen at all.
