Nude & Metallic Ikat Nails
Sunday, April 06, 2014
Hello everyone!
The blogger Konad Addict and I recently did the #maniswap tag on Instagram, so I recreated one of her mani’s and she recreated one of mine. I chose to recreate her ikat nails, and I’m so happy with how they turned out!

I used two coats of Marc Jacobs Nirvana as my base, which is a deep military green jelly that’s just gorgeous. The nude base on my ring finger is my favorite nude polish ever, Marc Jacobs Funny Girl (two coats). For the ikat, I added a hint of China Glaze Mingle With Kringle, and Cirque Colors Cerrillos (which you’ll be seeing swatches of soon!). I didn’t have the same studs that Konad Addict used, so I went with some diamond shaped ones, and I think they look awesome anyways.

Marc Jacobs Beauty: Oui! - Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer Swatches & Review
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
I was extremely excited when I first heard about Marc Jacobs Beauty. I have been a lover of everything Marc Jacobs for years now, so I've been waiting for months for the arrival. The collection finally launched on August 9th at Sephora, and I was there the same day to purchase the Enamored Lacquers of course.
The first lacquer I will be showing you is Oui!, a stunning metallic magenta that just glows. It is one of those halfway between pink and purple colors that I always seem to buy because I'm constantly searching for the perfect one, and I am pleased to say that this is it!
The formula is perfect in two coats, without any dragging or issues at all, and I couldn't believe how smooth it was to apply top coat over it. I thought this polish might have some visible brushstrokes, but they are practically invisible in person (the camera picked them up in a few photos unfortunately). I'm very impressed overall, but I knew Marc wouldn't let me down!

My first MJ Beauty haul:
Lash Lifter Gel Volume Mascara, and lacquers in Blue Velvet, Nirvana, Petra, and Oui!
You can see my reflection in the bottles, they are so beautiful and glossy!
I purchased the Enamored Lacquers at Sephora for $22 CAD each ($18 US). I actually ended up going back for a few more lacquers, the Genius Gel Super-Charged Foundation, and the Moisture Balm too. If you want me to review any of those, let me know! I just can't get enough of Marc Jacobs Beauty!
Thank you for reading! :)
