Kell's DIY Nails

Hey Gang! Barielle sent me one of their newest collections for Fall to show you. Since I'm not one to do a swatch-a-thon (seriously tough on my nails) I did some nail art. I was inspired by Let Them Have Polish when she did this with a Zoya Collection recently. Index and Middle: 2 coats of Boho Chic as my base color; dotting done with Vintage Gown. Ring and Pinky: 2 coats of Moda Bleu as my base color; dotting done with Taupe Notch. For the dotting I used different sized dotting tools; you can pick up a set here . After it was completly dry I added one coat of In A Hurry Air Dry Top Coat. The Me Couture Collection consists of 6 colors; 5 cremes and 1 creme with slight shimmer. These all have a very consistent formula and are easy 2 coaters.  From Left to Right: Boho Chic : The bottle shot looks teal but on the nail its a forest green creme. Moda Bleu : A dark navy blue creme. Brighter than Milani's Enchanted Sapphire, deeper than China Glaze's One Track Mind. Taupe Notch...

Nina Ultra Pro, Sailor. 2 coats. My friend Abbey was rocking some black nail polish a few weekends back when we were at the beach. I thought it looked really chic on her so I thought I would go for a navy blue this week. Sailor is a nice creamy dark blue. It’s got a slightly dusty look to it so it’s not a harsh navy. The formula was nice; the first coat went on pretty opaque with just a few bare spots so a second was needed to even it all out. The consistency was slightly jelly-like so it went on nicely. The brush isn’t the greatest; a little on the narrow side so I had to do a few extra strokes to get good coverage. It dried pretty quickly but just keep in mind it dries slightly darker than the bottle color. I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite but you can see I still have some bubbling due to the hot weather. In the light it’s obvious it is a blue; but in low light it does appear to be black. The only other navy cream I have is Rescue Beauty Lounge, Dead Calm....
