Getting crazy with nail art for NYC!

Going to NYC this weekend with some girlfriends! I wanted to do something for my nails and I knew I still had leftovers form the Marchesa for Revlon collection. So I let my imagination go and even chose a pastel color because they are in season for spring!

I hope they will stay until Sunday and throught 1 day of work!

Sweet: Turn your pictures in nail art!

A Kickstater campaing is underway to make the app NailSnaps: turning your pictures into nail art. The brains behind the idea are Angel Anderson and Sarah Heering. 

Here is the basic idea from Fashionablygeek: "Here’s how it works: install the free NailSnaps app and use photos you’ve taken to create nail art. The design interface shows each fingernail so you can place the images from your photos as you’d like them. Once you’ve got the design down, you place an order and NailSnaps prints and ships high quality nail polish stickers to your doorstep. Then, you apply the stickers made from your photographs."

Critique: Marchesa for Revlon Nail art

Thanks to Revlon Canada, I got the chance to try the new Marchesa for Revlon 3D nail art. Usually, nail stickers really don't work for me, because I use my hands a lot at picking stuff and doing arts and crafts. Last time I put a full set of stickers, they lasted 30 seconds.

so the product looks like this out of the box

It comes with 2 sheets, a nail filer/polisher and a cuticle puscher (don't know the real name -_-). The instractions are simple: put on nail, not on skin and cuticles. See? Nothing complicated.

but I do recommend a pair of cuticle cutters or really tiny scissors to cut off the excess instead of filling down. It gives a nicer finish. Also the great thing is if you have small nails, you can use only one sheet of stickers thats where the scissors come in handy.

Here is the finish:

Not bad really. There are sticking pretty good. My mom really thinks they are gorgeous, she even called them sexy!!

The next test will be shower water, one on the many enemis of nail art!

Revlon Selects: Expressionist nail art

Hello! Here is my review of Revlon's Expressionist nail art combo. Just like the Moon Candy nail duo, this nail color has two compartements:

The purple is the main color and the gold is used to make nail art because the brush is smaller than the other one. Here is the color and the finish art work. I didn't want to be to artsy because of my bad luck with nail polish:

All around, I prefer this nail art combo than the other one (Moon Candy). The colors last longer, even after a shower. No major chipping and the choice of colors are great. My boyfriend liked the purple and gold combo because it reminds him of the Los Angeles Kings. It is a good was to express your artsy side ;)

Revlon Selects Nail art test

Like I mentioned before, I was selected for Revlon Selects. Firtsa thing I tried was the nail art duo in Moon Candy

I usually not lucky when putting Nail polish. I put it on and 30 seconds later, there's a chip. BIG CRAP! I have one Revlon nail polish in black and it didn't chip after 30 seconds, so there is hope!

To make this look happen, I primed my nail with Sally Hansen nail base. After I went with color number 1.

So far so good. Next step, the moon crystals! OOOH like sailor moon!!!

The crystals are now very present on my nails because maybe of the darknest of the color and the light color of the crystals. So I'm 2 days in with the nail polish and 1 crystal chipped, but that's it. It's still holding strong! Can want to try the Expressionist nail art!!!
