Review & swatches piCture pOlish Kryptonite and Jealousy

After a long period of oogling the piCture pOlish brand category on Nail Polish Canada these were my first two purchases with which I am uber pleased. I was in the market for some awesome greens and these two shades drew me in completely. Featured here are Picture Polishes Kryptonite, and Jealousy.







I have to admit that I fell in love with not only the color of Kyrptonite but also the name. Kryptonite is one of piCture pOlishes collaboration shades with a nail blogger by the name of More Nail Polish . This polish is a deep highly pigmented green with a holo glitter effect that looks spectacular on the nail and dries to a smooth finish. I usually use two to three coats for complete coverage and saturation and finish with a nice shiny top coat.
Jealousy is a lovely bright spring green peppered with silver glitter that dries to a textured finish and covers fully in just two coats. Even with top coat this polish still remains somewhat textured on the nail and is forever catching the light and sparkling like cray cray.  Here are some swatch photos!







I hope that you love these shades as much as I do. If you find yourself as captivated with them as I was you can find them either Here or Here. Thanks for stopping by!

Bewitched Nails


I just might be a little bit addicted to Bewitched, not the new remake, but the classic Television show. I love Samantha and her whole family, it's just one of the best old shows ever :) I used my bundle monster nail art brush kit reviewed here and available for purchase here . I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail enamel in pacific blue, and black out, as well as Revlon Spirit.

Blue and White China nails


Hey guys, I came across someone doing what they called "the dutch manicure" which was based from painted clogs. I loved the idea but wanted mine to look more like traditional white and blue china patterns. I used Revlon speed dry in Spirit, Essie in Aruba Blue and bundle monster image plate 306. It has been a while since I stamped so please excuse any messiness :P. I love it though!

Rainbow and Glitter nails!


Well the other day my best friend did some rainbow nails, which inspired me to do some colorful rainbow nails as well. However being me I decided that I wanted to throw some glitter into the mix (surprise, surprise :P) I was really impressed with myself because I free handed all of the lines, yes ..you read that correctly free handed. I was both surprised, and excited by the results. The polishes I used are listed below :)

China Glaze Electrify, Sally Hansen gem crush Cha- Ching, Revlon Dreamer, Revlon impulsive, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in blue it, green with envy, and mellow yellow. Sally Hansen speed dry in rapid red, and China Glaze in roguish red. The top coat I used was of course Seche Vite dry fast top coat. Hope you give it, or something similar a try, I could not stop smiling whenever I looked at these nails :) Thanks for stopping by guys, see ya next time !
