Green Plaid Nail Art Tutorial for St Patrick's Day

-
Hello everybody! Yay! A nail art tutorial! And it's plaid, and It's for St Patricks Day, innit that an amazing combination? Well, I know that it is probably a little itty bit early for St Patricks nails, but, I generally think that there is no such thing as being too early for a holiday, especially St Patricks Day, which I love!


See! I told you guys that I have mastered the art of plaid. It took me millions of years though. I am totally prepared for my poor cuticles to be stained green for about a month. I am lookin at them now; they have a greenish hue. I am so sorry cuticles, I really am. The polishes that I used for these nails were: Revlon Jaded Night as my base colour and Sinful colors Innocence, Revlon Knockout and Sally Hansen White On for the stripes.


First step, use a small nail art  brush and some white polish to draw two stripes going diagonally across the tip of your nail.


Next, use a green polish that contrasts to your base colour and draw three lines going diagonally the other way. As you can see, the green lines should be going over the white lines.


Lastly, use the balck nail polish to create three diffeent lines; one going diagonally across the nail above the last first green line, one other diagonal line that intersects with this new line, and one going in between two of the green lines. I know, the description is a bit confusing, but I hope you still understand!


Y'know, I see a lotta plaid nails for St Patricks Day, so I thought "With my plaid skills this would be a great way to kick off the season" and I think I was right! These are pretty darn cute with the green and everything! Speaking of St Patricks Day, I will be doing my Top Ten Polishes To Wear For St Patricks Day List a little differently to my Valentines and Christmas lists/ This time around I will be releasing each polish on the list one at a time, that way I can do a more descriptive review with more swatch photos for each polish. I will release them just like as a normal swatch and review, but each post will have St Patricks Day and the ranking of the polish in the title. Once all ten polish have been reviewed, I will release a list, like the ones for Christmas and Valentines Day, with all the polishes, swatches and a shortened version of each review. Does that sound exciting guys? Let me know your thoguhts about that and this tutorial down below in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog).
May your nails be good

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

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

Hi again everybody! I am here today with the second part of my Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 collection review which is a comparison post! In this post, I will be doing comparisons for each nail  polish in the collection as well as including some extra swatch photos for each polish! Y'know what, I have never done a full post dedicated to comparisons before so I am excited! It was really interesting to see which polishes had more dupes and which polishes were hard to find dupes for, some were a lot harder to find dupes for than I was expecting. Oh! And in case you missed the swatch and review of this collection, you can read that post here . Now, It's time to compare some polishes! For this post we will be going in the same order of polishes as the swatch and review, y'know, just to make it easy to follow. Today we are starting with the first polish that I swatched and reviewed in the collection; Spring Fling. As you can see, this is a very pale purple colour. S
