Nail Lacquer in Honey by Dolce & Gabbana - Review // Reseña

I got this nail polish as a gift this last Christmas and I haven't done a review yet! I had been looking for a nude nail lacquer for a long time and I hadn't found one I truly loved till I came across this beautiful shade from D&G. I have liked previous colors but Honey stole my heart . It has the right amount of pink, is super creamy and covers the nails with just two coats. With other shades I had to apply three or four coats to get an even color on the nail and seriously I hate to wait such a loooong time for them to dry.

It lasted on my nails 5 days, no chipping and minor tip wear which is really good since I'm all day working on my computer and tipping on my keyboard. I added a top coat (Good to go! by Essie) which is the one that I always use and helps me to keep my nail polishes intact for a few more days.

The only problem with this nail polish is its cost... 23€ is quite a high price for a nail polish. Still is a high end brand with an extra beautiful packaging and the formula is outstanding so if you splurge on it at least you're getting a good product (something that not always happens).

And that's all about Honey! Do you like this shade? Do you wear nude nails? Whis is your favorite nude nail polish? Please tell me in the comments, I would love to know your recommendations! xx

PS. Here you'll find more info about this nail polish formula and range of colors!

Holographic Nails by Urban Outfitters // Uñas Holográficas por UO

This is probably the craziest nail color I've ever worn! And seriously, I can't stop looking at it! I did a really fast visit to Barcelona, went back again into Urban Outfitters and the moment I saw this nail polish I knew that it had to come home with me.

I've seen pictures of similar nail polishes and I loved how they shone under the sunlight. It looks like having a disco party on your nails! I must admit that it's not the most elegant nail polish I've ever worn but... Who cares?! Just looking at those reflections make me happy! (I might sound like a magpie bird right now but I really love shiny things).

Well, enough about crazy babbling, let's talk about "serious" stuff. I needed two coats to completely cover my nails, it's really easy to apply and it doesn't leave any marks. Under the sunlight it shines with a lot of colors but when there's no direct light it looks like a silver shade. I didn't used any kind of topcoat because I liked the shine it has and I don't think it needs any more extra. The cons... It's way more expensive than any other Urban Outfitters nail polish, it costs 17€ when usually their cost is 8€. I found that out when I went to pay but I really wanted to have it so I ended up paying for it. The pros...the quality is outstanding and the color is really special.

Do you like it? Would you wear it? Do you know any cheaper brand that has good holographic nail polishes? Tell me in the comments! Kisses :)

Get Katy Perry's Super Bowl Nails - Tutorial // Consigue las Uñas de Kary Perry para la Super Bowl

This Sunday will take place the Super Bowl and singer Katy Perry will perform during the halftime show. She's getting ready for that special moment and this Monday she shared on her Instagram account an image of her freshly painted toes that resembled to small football balls. As you can see just below (you chan check her Instagram here):

 

So today I bring you a super easy nail art tutorial to get your nails ready for the match. I've chosen to make it on my hands since it is so cold here that I am wearing boots all the time and I never show my toes during winter. I hope you like it!

Step 1: Paint your nails with two coats of a brown nail polish, the balls are usually reddish brown but I didn't have that one so I used 612 Bengale by Dior instead. (It was a limited edition but you can use whatever you have at home that you like).

Step 2: With an orange stick, nail art stick (if you have one) or even a needle! Draw a white vertical line in the middle of each nail. Just dip your tool on a white nail polish (I used one from the supermarket which is just 0,99 E) and start from the top and go to the bottom. If your line is a bit crooked don't worry, let it dry and fix it with a bit of brown nail polish.

Step 3: With the same technique as in the step 2, draw 4 to 5 horizontal lines crossing the vertical line. So that your nail will look like the ball seam.

Step 4: Once it's dried, add a shiny top coat to finish off your manicure and protect the lines. And you're done! As easy as that :)

 

Do you watch the Super Bowl? Do you usually wear your nails with drawings? Kisses!

Urban Outfitters Nail Polish // Dark Night & Northern Lights

Hello gorgeous! Last week I travelled to Barcelona and I went to the new Urban Outfitters store. Of course apart from the amazing clothes and accesories, I couldn't miss the beauty section. It wasn't as big as other ones I've seen in other countries but the selection of products was pretty cool and different from what you can find in other stores. Candles, shampoos, nail polishes, hair chalks, EOS lip balm and lipstick sealers were some of the available cosmetics. I ended up buying two nail polishes from their Matte Glitter Collection since there was an offer of 2x15 €. They're quite heavy because of the square glass packaging and contain 15ml each so you get more product than in most nail polishes (which usually bring 10-13 ml) at only 8 €.

The first one is a really dark green lacquer with emerald glitter called Dark Night. It is fully opaque after two coats and it dries down to a super matte finish but with the light, the glitter creates green reflections on the surface. It has a gritty texture but it doesn't get stuck on clothes or anything so it's not annoying. The consistency is thick but it flows well across the nail without streaking. It's a really special color yet very discreet so if you like to wear some glitter without going overboard it's is a nice option. This shade had no chipping, after a week of wear, not even tip wear which is certainly good.  If you want to get it, you can go to their shop in Barcelona or buy it online here.

The second one is Northern Lights. The moment I put it on my nails I thought about mermaids! It is mostly opaque after two coats, though you can see a hint of nail line coming through. The consistency is thick, and it was a bit harder to work with than Dark Night. It dries down to a matte blue with fine gold glitter and bigger chunks of iridescent purplish glitter (as you can see on the picture below). This shade had minor tip wear, but no chipping, after a week. It's flashier than Dark Night so it's not really work appropriate but I didn't have any similar color in my stash and I couldn't resist. It's not available online so you can only get it in their shop in Barcelona.
