O.P.I. Sheer Tints in I Can Teal You Like Me

We were lucky to get our hands on I Can Teal You Like Me from the O.P.I. Sheer Tints collection (which is perfection based on the swatches we've seen). We were skeptical about the idea at first - but we love how easy this is for nail art! We used a striper brush for the plaid in this case, and used Models Own Hypergel for the base (a great white for bases - we recommend!). We totally need to get our hands on the whole collection. YOU NEED THIS! This is going to be great for summer nail art, and if you've been dying to try out a tye-die look, these polishes could definitely make it easy as can be.

Heirloom, a duochrome purple-green polish from Ciaté, is literally perfection. We paired it with a black accent nail and a micro bead heart using the gold microbeads from the Luxe Metals collection in Lustre (also by Ciaté). We love how this turned out, and this mani looks great in the sun when the duo chrome catches the light!

Ciaté Luxe Caviar Manicure set includes pearls in Lustre, and a Ciaté paint pot in Ladylike Luxe.

 We were excited to try out the Ciaté Luxe Pearls set after realizing that the microbeads were actually made of metal (they even feel heavier than normal microbeads in the bottle!), since we love the look, but hate when topcoat bleeds the colour. The set includes a polish, pearls and a funnel (to save the extras!) and based on how much we used for one full set of nails, you should have enough beads to do at least 6 or 7 full out nails. If you are using the beads for accents though, you will have more than enough for many manis!

We tried out this look on our full nails, and it wore for three days, although it was just over 48 hours before we had any bead loss. We have read reviews of this leaving a coloured dot on nails where beads were placed, but we used a base coat and had no ill effects! We also used the Ciaté Speed Coat Pro which we are happy to report had amazing dry time, and looked great over the microbeads.

What do you think of this look? The metallic sets are available in Silver, Gold and Rose Gold and are on sale on Sephora now for $23! We're especially lusting after the Gleam set which is a rosy gold metal!

Stay tuned to see the accent nail we did using the microbeads from this kit in the next few days!

Is an explanation for this manicure necessary? Nutell-us. (We're out of control. Send help.)

As Rainbow Honey super fans - we were super excited to be sent a few minis of Rainbow Honey's most popular shades to share with you! If you have read some of our other posts, you may know we are die hard glitter lovers (who isn't?) and that Rainbow Honey is at the top of the glitter game in our opinion. We swatched five polishes chosen by Rainbow Honey, and are ready to share our thoughts!

First up is Be Mine, a sheer-ish pink with gold shimmer bordering on glitter. This swatch is two coats, no top coat. We aren't super huge fans of shimmery shades, but we have seen a few of these pink shimmers, and if you already have a favourite in your collection - this may not be a necessary buy.

Next up is Changeling - swatched over Revlon's Balsam Fir - which is a clear based glitter bomb full of small black glitter, midsize blue and green squares, larger green squares and large black circles. This is a unique glitter, and although not quite up our alley - the formula is on par with our highest expectations.

This next polish leans between a shimmer and a glitter shade - this is Persephone. This shade is a pinky-red full of pink and gold glitter. This would look perfect with any LBD and works year round unlike many other pink/red shimmers which can look holiday party appropriate only. This is definitely one of our favourites too!

Next up, we have Pepillion - this is a clear based glitter with our absolute. favourite. things. Butterfly glitter makes us go crazy, we can't get enough. The five year old girls in our hearts just want to wear this polish all day, every day. These glitters can be hard to place just right (see upside-down butterfly, pointer finger!) - but it is worth it! A must buy.

Finally, we have Sweet Talk, or alternatively (as we like to call is) Candy Crush in a bottle. This is the perfect candy-like nail polish. We love this glitter mostly because it builds to opaque in three thin coats - and ends up looking super fun! We actually do love this one, and definitely will be wearing it through Spring (when it finally arrives...).

Let us know which of these polishes is your favourite in the comments!

We have heard a lot about the Lancôme Vernis in Love range, and it is favourited by @noemihk on Instagram, a lovely lady we casually stalk for upcoming polish swatches. We received a few polishes to test out for ourselves - and we are absolutely blown away. The three that we tried have awesome formulation, and we will definitely be customers in the future. We would not hesitate to recommend all three of these shades to anyone - the brush is perfection, and the polishes have the perfect amount of glide and absolutely no streaks.

First up, we have to go with our favourite colour... aqua! This is Aquamarine and we are ready for this beachy bright for Summer - one day of Spring sun and we're already on the next season. This swatch is two coats. If you're consistently searching for a new shade of aqua, this polish is for you!






Next up is Rose Plumenti, a shimmery pink. We aren't huge shimmer polish lovers, however this is pretty subtle. You really do have to angle your nails to catch the shimmer in the light. The lighting in our photo makes this polish look a bit streaky, however it really does apply perfectly and looks uniform on the nail.

Finally, our new go-to neon pink, an amazing shade we didn't expect from Lancôme - Rose Bonheur. We are totally obsessed with this polish and its translation in photos is really spot on. This colour is super bright and we are in. love. Totally recommend this polish to anyone, a great addition to any collection.

Overall, we are in love with what we've seen of this polish line, aptly titled Vernis in Love. We will definitely need to add a few more of these shades to our collection! Looking forward to using these in nail art, especially Rose Bonheur. Have you tried any polishes from Lancôme - what did you think?
