Twilight Nails and an Elevation Polish Yeti

Hey guys, I'm going to be a bit short on words for this post as I am writing super late the night before this goes live, I just arrived home from a weekend full of wine and too much sun and just spent the last hour working on a news alert for some breaking news that is day-job related.

I originally drafted this so you all won't miss out on Elevation Polish's special Yeti polish of the month. It will go away after this month and it is just too special to pass up in my humble opinion! I've got two looks for you today featuring this beauty.

First off I just wanted to show you the beauty of this gorgeous topper. This is one coat of Elevation Polish Yeti the stone Warrior over two coats of KBShimmer Bahama Drama. Yeti the stone warrior is a holographic topper with platinum/silver shards throughout. I thought it gave it a rather starry effect so I created this next look with just that in mind!

I decided to make a twilight look by layering Yeti the stone warrior over a gradient with some fun bamboo in the foreground. The gradient (which I just absolutely love this combination) was made with KBShimmer Leggo My Mango, KBShimmer Bahama Drama and Literary Lacquers Mysterious Irrevocable Sacred. Let me just take a moment to give a shout out to this Lit Laq. This color, a gorgeous purple holo has the most beautiful blue flash to it which is what I thought really pulled this twilight look together. I stamped on top using my Rica Blackout polish and my Bundle Monster BM-424 plate.

And since the Elevation Yeti reminded me so much of stars, I thought it would be perfect over this gradient and I was totally right!

Yeti the stone warrior is a limited edition polish and only available this month (July) so I promise you definitely don't want to miss out!

Fair Maiden Purple Nail Art

So I think I mentioned already that I went away for the weekend this past weekend, well I put on some Fair Maiden Polish and today I'm going to share with you the simple yet stunning look of Fair Maiden Polish Glory of the Galaxy over Fair Maiden Polish Reach for the Sky.

Reach for the Sky, which was a kind gift from the makers of Fair Maiden Polish, goes on opaque in two coats and dries to an almost rubber/satin type finish.

In the photo above, I did try to photo edit it, I might have made it a smidge warmer than it actually is, but purples always want to go more blue when photographed and I wanted to show how purple it actually is. I topped Reach for the Sky with Glory of the Galaxy.

Glory of the Galaxy is a gorgeous holo top coat with beautiful blue glass flecks which give it a unique blue flash in the shade and give the whole top coat extra dimension.

I stamped the design my pointer and ring finger using KBShimmer Leggo My Mango and my Born Pretty Store plate BP-L005. Now I took about a bazillion photos of this so I will leave the rest of those here! This look wore like iron, through a day in a chlorinated pool, an epic night of bowling and all sorts of old fashioned fun.

And because I can't just leave you with a post of one look, I've got another fun Fair Maiden Polish look I put together using Fierce, a Facebook fan group custom with the same KBShimmer polish. Just a fun and simple polka dot look!

Untitled

Fierce is an amazing dusty purple holo with this amazing orange flash. It is the ultimate purple holo in my collection. I just absolutely LOVE it. Also perfect winning formula, two coats for opacity and applies smooth as buttah!

Anyway, I hope you like these looks and if you haven't checked out Fair Maiden Polish yet, I suggest you get right on that because the makers are the sweetest, the fans are awesome and the polishes are also top notch always with something extra special!

What have you tried from Fair Maiden?! What do you think of my new curved watermark? Just something I'm trying out – I'd love your feedback! :)
