Penélope Luz - Pink World

Hi everybody,

The beauty I'm sharing with you today is Pink World created by the Brazilian indie brand Penélope Luz.

I have shown you some other Penélope Luz beauties before:

Tendresse

Sarcasm

Lucky Fairy

I absolutely love each and every one of them, and Pink World is no exception!

2 thin coats of Pink World over Illamasqua Ouija

Pink World is a mix of holographic pink hex glitters of different sizes and some holographic pink bars as well. The base is clear, which is perfect for layering it over other base colors. 

Lovely, isn't it?! :)

Emily de Molly - Dark Forces

Hi everybody!

Today I want to share with you one of my very first Emily de Molly nail polish! It's Dark Forces. I ordered this together with Ocean Forces and Cosmic Forces and a few others as well. 

Dark Forces is a gorgeous black jelly polish with a mix of large holographic silver dots and small hex glitters. It also contains lots of very small iridescent glitter. Application can be tricky, as with most nail polish containing large glitters. I found the formula to be a little on the thick side, so I added some nail polish thinner to help with application. To achieve opacity, 2 to 3 coats will be needed, unless you apply it over a black base color. The swatch above shows 3 coats of Dark Forces. 

Dark Forces is a stunning polish! I'm glad I added it to my stash and I can't wait to try my other Emily de Molly. :)

Rica - Oh, Minnie!

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I've been MIA. My cat Cookie brought home 2 baby mice that luckily weren't hurt at all. They still had their eyes closed, so I had to nurse them or they wouldn't make it. So for the past few days I've been waking up every 2 hours round the clock to feed them. Their eyes finally opened and the babies have been weaned, so they can eat now on their own. If you want to see pictures of my baby mice, check my personal instagram account. 

Coincidentally, I had Minnie Mouse on my nails!  

The polish used on my index and pinky is Rica Oh, Minnie! For the gradient background, I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Essie Play Date. The Minnie was painted free hand using acrylic paints.

Oh, Minnie! has a pink-lilac base color with white, pink and silver holographic hexes in different sizes. And tons of mouse holo glitters. This one required less fishing than Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears. The swatch above shows 3 thin coats of Oh, Minnie! on its own. 

Here's a macro bottle shot of Oh, Minnie!

I hope you like it!

Thanks for reading!

Rica - Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears

Hi my lovelies,

look what I have for you today! This super cute glitter polish is Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears by Rica. 

I couldn't resist, it's too adorable! Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears is a mix of red squares, white rectangles, yellow and black dots, small holographic silver hexes and best of all, Mickey Mouse shaped glitters!!!!!! How cool is that?! Application required some fishing, but I managed to easily get some Mickey Mouse glitter on my nails. I applied 2 coats of RGWME over Essence Got a Secret.

So to go with the theme, I hand painted Mickey Mouse on my ring finger using acrylic paints. The base color is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

Here's a macro bottle shot to show you the awesomeness!

So how do you like it?! :)
