* They are easy to apply. Just 3 easy steps, gel base coat, gel color and gel top coat.

*  Salon finish..

*  Doesn't chip easily.

Caronia "Blue Moon Collection" (swatches and nail art)

Hi Guys,
Last week I received a new "BLUE MOON" caronia collection with a blue shawl included in the package!
( perfect for cold weather ) I wasn't able to post it because of my busy sched... I really love the collection eventhough I'm not a fan of frosted nail polish, this one is perfect.. The color is perfect for my skin complexion.. 

Here's what I recieved..
Caronia nail polish is a non toxic "big 3 free polish"
No Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde...


CHASSE - regular navy blue polish, the formula was good, 2 coats and its done.. Application is nice.. so easy to use..



AVANT - it's kind of a seagreen or darkgreen in color, very glossy with micro glitz i love it.. Good coverage with just 2 coats of application..
BOURREE - really suits my complexion.. love the color, metallic orangered. this color needs 2 coats of application.. Love it!



I added some stamp using pueen "encore" image plate.. I used seche vite for top coat! Hope you like them!!

NEON LEOPARD


Hi guys, I'm excited and surprised! Guess what? I received the package from Simply Spoiled way earlier than what I'm expecting..yay!!! Thank you very much Savanna for a super fast shipping and for the very sweet note enclosed in the package... I'm so happy ... Btw, Here are the items included in the package.. L.A girl polka dot nail art collection (dizzy dots) including 3 L.A girl nail polish (4.5ml each), dotting tool in two different sizes ( that can create large and small dot patterns on nails ), 1 nail art pen (black) and some fimo canes..


Here's the first thing that came into my mind.. Not a typical dot pattern but a Neon Leopard. 
Here's the step by step tutorial (check out the pictures for reference).

1. I used white nail polish for my base coat. (I used white base coat because I'm going to stamp the la girls nail polish just look at the photo and the next step..) 2. Using the nail art protective film (the blue one in the picture), or you can just use any plastic sheet, I applied the l.a nail polish on the film horizontally... 3. I used a stamper to pick the 3 color polish 
4. And stamped it directly on nails.. 5. I used the nail art pen afterwards, I created an uneven square that looks like leopard prints.. 6. I used the dotting tool included in L.A Girls kit to fill the leopard design with colors ..
*For my accent nail design (leopard face) I made it using advanced stamping technique (image plate XXL H) Top coat from (seche vite)

Here's my neon leopard. Hope you like it!!
