French Tip Lace Sheer Black Nail Art Tutorial

-
Hi guys! With all my Valentines Day posts over, I wasn't really what to post next, as I had a couple of tutorials and swatches that I hadn't written up yet because I was busy with Valentines posts! It was difficult to decided, as I am one of the most indecisive people on earth and also because I have a really terrible cold, but I eventually chose to go with these lace nails as my first post-Valentines tutorial, coz' I was really happy with how they turned out, and they were real easy!


Not too long ago, actually the same time I picked up Sheer Cotton by Revlon, I found a bottle of clear nail polish on clearance (oh! look a punny thing; clear on clear-ance)! When I saw it I think that I must have screamed "YES" at the top of my lungs because I had been lookin' for clear nail polish forever. I used the clear polish to make sheer polish (hey, that rhymes!) and here we are! Oh, and if you guys are interested in making your own sheer polish, let me know in the comments and I will do a tutorial! Err, anyway, I seem to have gone a little bit off track, on with the tutorial, it's super fun and easy, I promise you!


Y'know, whenever I see lace nails I think 'gee, that looks complicated and intricate, I could never do those', and I have never been able to until now, and I will teach you guys the secrets of the lace nail. First, start off by painting your nails with a sheer black base. Then, once that has dried, take a nail art brush and regular black nail polish and on your smile line, create a line of connected semi-circles all the way across your smile line.


Next, and last (two steps, YES!), take the brush from your regular black nail polish and use it to paint over your smile line until you reach the top of the semicircles.


Whaaaaat? Two-steps, innit that crazy? It's so easy guys! By the way, I unfortunately do not have a video for this tutorial, as I did these nails before I started filming my nail art tutorials, but then again, these are so easy that you don't really even need a video tutorial! In case you guys are curious, the clear polish that I used as to make the sheer polish is 'Crystal' from the L'oreal Vernis a l'huile range. Y'know, the polishes with the pretty bottles! Anyway, I wanna know what you guys think about these nails! Have you done lace nails before? Where they easy? Have you made sheer polish before or would you like a tutorial on how to? Let me know right here in the comments section or on my Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)!
May your nails be good!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
