Glitter Heart Nail Art

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Today I have a simple and easy design. Also, I just realized that the title of this post rhymes. (Insert lame joke here) Only two polishes were used to create this look: China Glaze Electrify and Orly Melt Your Popsicle. China Glaze Electrify is from the Hunger Games collection and is a glitter polish of red and gold hex glitter of various sizes. This glitter was utilized to create small hearts on each nail. The base of the manicure is Orly Melt Your Popsicle. This polish is a very bright neon orange. 

To create the look first I applied three coats of the neon orange Orly. Next, I put a small amount of the China Glaze glitter on a piece of tin foil. I carefully picked up polish with a dotting tool. I created three small dots of glitter polish and connected them together. However, my thumb nail features a different look. I created a heart by placing glitter polish all over my nail but left a neon orange heart shape exposed. 




The "opposite" design on my thumb.


Sometimes I really like the look of a simple and quick design. This particular look is quite cute if I say so myself. It's these types of nail designs that bring a smile to my face when I look at them. They're very sweet. :)

Essie Braziliant

Hi! Hope all of you are having a great week! I for one am so glad that it is the weekend now.

I apologize for not posting this week. I had photos for posts but didn't get the chance to write something up. 

Anyways on to the polish! It's Essie Braziliant from this year's summer collection!

I picked up Essie Braziliant at a Rite Aid for $4.00 (on sale 50% off! :) ) earlier this summer. So, it is in one of those retail bottles with the sticker on the front. Before I went away I decided to put on this polish.


All photos are inside with natural light. I apologize for the quality. I wanted to get quick photos before I left. 


Essie Braziliant has great pigmentation. I believe this is two coats but I'm not sure I needed the second one.
Essie Braziliant is a great orange with slightly pink shimmer that flashes in the light. Truly fitting for the summer.


Have you tried Essie Braziliant? It is my favorite orange now (I do only have about three though). 
Hope you stop by again! I will have two more posts this weekend (that were suppose to be this weeks posts). 

Thanks for stopping by! What's your favorite orange?

On To The Next Polish,

Katie
