More Nail Art Featuring Carpe Noctem Cosmetics

Happy Friday everyone! For the very first time since moving here, we got some snow here in South Carolina. All of the hysteria over a couple inches of snow and ice was definitely hilarious to me coming from a place that can drop 5 inches of snow and no one blinks an eye. We are pretty much thawed out now and my kiddo off to school and she couldn't be happier!

Today I have some nail art featuring Carpe Noctem Cosmetics yet again!

I started out with two coats of Carpe Noctem Cosmetics - Pro Amilo and sealed with a coat of top coat. Once dried, I added the purple feather decals from Born Pretty Store and sealed with one more helping of top coat.

I love how girly this manicure is and adding decals for nail art adds so much to a manicure with no mess or clean up.

What are your plans for the weekend? Let me know in the comments and thanks for stopping by!

Nail Art featuring Carpe Noctem Cosmetics

Hey everyone! So as part of my blogger resolutions for 2014 I decided to try to incorporate more nail art and you know, use some of the nail art tools i've purchased over the past couple years. I decided to do some stamping. If you haven't heard, there are new XL squishy stampers that blow every other stamper out of the water! It is soft, squishy, very large, picks up quite nicely and mold to your nail effortlessly. You can also stamp with no completely dry polish instead of waiting for drying.

 

I started off with two coats of Carpe Noctem - Taupey Tips and then stamped with Sinful Colors - Coffee and sealed with top coat.

There is still a bit of a learning curve for me and stamping. My ring and pinky came out the best. I can't wait to try more stamped manicures.

Tell me what you think in the comments and thanks for stopping by.

Carpe Noctem Review

*products purchased and sent for review*

Happy Monday Folks! If you haven't already, be sure to enter my giveaway to win a bottle of Limited Edition Enchanted Polish!

Today I have swatches from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics. This is a brand that i've watched grow and truly have grown to love.

This polish is called Pro Amico!

Pro Amico has a royal purple base with a pink duochrome pink shimmer finish. This polish is just a touch streaky but the formula was a great slightly jelly consistency with great coverage. My swatches are with basecoat and two normal coats with one coat sponged on plus top coat.

I love how my nails appear to be glowing pink! 

I'm a Big F***ing Deal is a bright pink jelly with a scattered holographic base. I love everything about this polish. It's fun and girly and beautiful! The formula was great and sparkles nicely in low lighting. It was sheer but absolutely perfect for what i'll show you next. Two coats with base coat and top coat.

 

 

 Always be a Unicorn is a glitter bomb with square, hex, and small round glitters in pink, black, orange, purple and white. Glitter coverage was great, no fishing required. Emily did inform me that this polish is be discontinued unfortunately. The above macro shot is one coat over I'm a Big F***ing Deal. 

The above is Always be a Unicorn sandwiched between coats of IABFD. Holo and sparkley? Yes please!

 

Pimp My Purple is a deep purple jelly with a scattered linear holographic finish. This polish is absolute perfection. It is opaque in two thin coats and is my second favorite. Two coats with base coat and top coat.

Drool Worthy!

 

Taupey Tips is a light neutral taupe slightly jelly with very fine scattered holographic glitter. You need this. I love neutral colors and this offers a little oomph! It looks amazing in low lighting and wore for 4 days with no chips. This is two coats with base coat and top coat.

While I highly recommend all of these polishes the one to get is Taupey Tips! You just can't go wrong. You can find Carpe Noctem Cosmetics on Etsy and like their Facebook page to get updates on new releases and giveaway.
