Sephora Color Charged Graphic Lacquer Emerald Nails

I couldn't have picked a better timing for this post!

Green nails just in time for St. Paddy's Day!

This post was apart of Challenge Two for Fashion magazine's Beauty Panel.

I used Sephora Color Charged Graphic Lacquer in Emerald ($12.00 CDN).

Can you believe I applied this with three coats (no base or top coat).

To make my ring finger pop, I used Maybelline Color Show Nail Sticker in Divine Crocodile.

My GetGelled Manicure Bar Experience

Recently, I had the most fun ever at a nail bar. 

As crazy as it seems, I can count the times I've had fun at a nail bar on one hand.

The place I'm talking about is called Get Gelled! Manicure bar.

A new, cute and modern place located in the Yonge/Bloor area.

I was recently contacted by Sun (owner) to see if I was interested in one of their services. After looking at her portfolio I knew I had to come in. I'm obsessed with nail art! I never got the opportunity to get it done in my area because nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about. Sun knew exactly wanted!

 

Here is the finished outcome!

GORGEOUS!!!!

Unfortunately, I lost the bow today :( 

It was a lovely seven days...haha.

This totally gives me the opportunity to go back again!

If you're in the area check out Get Gelled! Manicure Bar.

Bio Seaweed Gel Nails

Have you ever heard of Bio Seaweed Gel Nails?

It's a revolution in nail gel polish that rivals all other brands with it's safe and healthy formula that promises chip free shine, long lasting color and the fastest soak off time in the industry.

This is actually my second time getting Bio Seaweed Gel nails. 

The first time I got it was totally by a fluke. I stepped in my local salon and fell in love with their colors.

 I also remember my nails growing a lot in 14 days and the polish lasting a really LONG time!

Comes in over 100 colours, contains calcium, vitamin E and aloe and helps your nails to
grow stronger, faster and longer with every application!

You can use a UV and LED light to cure the gel or you can use direct sunlight!

One of their biggest selling points is how thin the application is.

Most gel polishes are thick which can lead to them chipping quickly.

Bio Seaweed nails are buildable without looking fake. 

As you can see in the picture below.

 

Secondly, the soak off is quick! Just use to my "How to remove Gel polish" tutorial 

and it will come off with NO damage. 

Here is picture of me wearing the nails on day 21. 

This is one week over the 14 day wear time.

 As you can see two of those nails were in pristine condition!

My Essie Good as Gold manicure

Have you had the time to check out Essie's mirror metallic collection?

Good as Gold

I have! 

I took a break from the neons and went right to the metallics. 

I love the way Good as Gold refreshed my old gel manicure. 

I got this professional done.... I'm not that awesome..lol
I went for the half moon/accent nail combo!

Are you feeling my Metallic nails?
