Jigsaw Puzzle Nail Art

So today i decided to do some nail art before i left the house. I was visiting my friends today and literally had 20 minutes before i left. So this i what i came up with. I know its simple but its the best i could do in 20 minutes, i take my time with polish so it only made sense that i couldn't do something pro. I only used 4 things to get this design and i hope you like it. Cleaning up was a bit messy as the polish was dark and dark polishes are a bit of a pain to remove as they stain your nails and skins, you will notice in the pic that around the cuticle area and around my nails aren't perfectly neat. That's because clean up was a pain so i have up and left it a tad messy. Hope you enjoy it anyways

What I used:
Orly "Wandering Vine"
Konad special polish "White"
Bundle monster image plate "BM 319"
BYS topcoat

Orly- Country Club Khaki (review and swatch)

I'm such a liker for nude and beige polishes, so you can guess my excitement when I was sent Orly Country Club Khaki to review. Country Club Khaki is a creamy, milky nude-ish nail polish colour. I truely like this colour. Orly always seems to impress me. It's a subtle colour and very work appropriate. You can wear this polish anywhere and that's why I absolutely love beige and nude colours and the fact that they look awesome. it dried smooth and very shiny like every other Orly polish. Country Club Khaki  is completely streak proof and didn't require any clean up.

I only used 1 coat to achieve this look which really shocked me. It was completely opaque and didn't require a second coat. It was an added bonus since Orly nail polishes dry super quick. This manicure only took 10 minutes which included painting my nails and letting them dry. This is my quickest drying polish I have in my whole collection of polishes and not to mention one coater.
You've got to love a polish that only requires one coat, dries super quick and requires absolutely no clean up. I forgot to mention amazingly smooth and shiny. I've got to say its rare to find a polish that has all these qualities and I'm glad I did. For further information please head over to the Orly website at Orly

Orly- Charged Up (review and swatch)

Today I have swatch and review for Orly Charged Up. Charged Up is a classic dark purple with an amazing shine. I've noticed with all Orly polishes that they have a great shine which I absolutely love. The drying time for the polish was great because by the time you finished your last finger, the first finger was already dry. When I use dark colours I always hate clean up as they stain your cuticles and skin but I had no problem cleaning up with Orly Charged Up. Applying was also a breeze so that was good. I've used I few Orly polishes before and now I can finally say that I really truely like Orly

Three coats was used to achieve this look however you can still get away with two coats as long as your second coat is not incredibly thin. The polish has a smooth and shiny surface once dry. No topcoat is used in the pictures. You don't need topcoat as it already has that incredible shine as if it has topcoat and seems to be lasting quite a while without topcoat.
I can definitely say that Charged Up is one of my favourite polishes. I recommend this polish if your looking for a dark and gorgeous polish as well as if your in a rush because I was amazed at its drying time.
Orly nail polishes are available in big 18ml bottles. For further information please visit Orly

Swatch- Orly (Walk Down The Aisle)

So it's been a few days I haven't posted. Don't worry I haven't forgot about you guys. Today I have a swatch for Orly's Walk Down The Aisle. WDTA is a light shimmery green. Let me warn you it's very sheer. Four coats is seen in the pictures below yet my nail underneath is noticeable. In my opinion it looks goldish when your indoors however you get a tinny tiny shimmer of green when your outdoors in the sun. I would recommend this with a similar colour green nail polish as the base coat. Overall I still love this polish. It dried quickly and it was a breeze to apply. Usually I get a little annoyed if I have to apply four coats but not with this polish.
