InDecisive Ichor Green

I should be sleeping right now, but I have been wanting to show you the latest addition to the InDecisive Lacquer Ichor line for quite some time and I refuse to delay it any further. Ichor is now available in 5 awesome colors including the original black plus the colors red, purple, blue and now green. You can see my swatches of the previous colors here! The Ichor thermal top coats are really fun to play around with an layer. They all transition from clear when warm to their color state as they get cold...

Nail Art Tutorial: Sparkly Vampire Tips

Hi Lovelies! This manicure probably didn't need a tutorial because I consider it pretty straight forward to begin with, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Would you like to see more tutorials? Less tutorials? Only for complicated techniques? I don't want to spam you with tutorials, but at the same time I'm having fun making them at the moment! :)

The tutorial goes along with a manicure that I posted yesterday inspired by the InDecisive Lacquer polish and name Sparkly Vampire. I keep thinking a vampire would love a mani like this! Or maybe it is just because the tips remind me of fangs! Who knows, but I really enjoyed wearing this and I hope you enjoy this tutorial...

Supplies used:

• Polishes: InDecisive Lacquer Sparkly Vampire, SinfulColors Black on Black
• Red hex glitter (mine is from the Born Pretty Store, part of a set. Item #3103)

Steps:

Instructions:

1. Apply desired number of coats of your red polish. Here I used 2 coats of InDecsive Lacquer Sparkly Vampire.
2. Paint a corner of the nail using black. Depending on the length of your nails and how steep you want the final point to be, start at the edge of your nail and swipe toward the center of the tip. Don't worry if the line is not perfect since you will be covering it with glitter!
• You can do this using either the polish brush or a detail brush for more control.
• Additionally try marking a dot on the side and the tip of the nail to help guide if necessary. 
3. Repeat step #2 and paint the second corner of the nail. Again don't worry about making this perfect since you will be covering it up with glitter. 
4. Apply a coat of clear polish (to adhere the glitter) and arrange the red glitter along the edge between black and red polish as shown above, to create a glitter chevron.
5. Seal with a top coat and enjoy!

Please let me know what you think of this tutorial and as always don't hesitate to ask questions!

Thanks for looking!

InDecisive Lacquer Sparkly Vampire

Happy Monday! I've had a busy weekend and sadly none of it was nail related. Luckily I do have a pretty manicure from last week to show you. I had been wearing the gorgeous InDecisive Lacquer Sparkly Vampire for a good part of last week before I decided to vamp it up a bit with glitter and black tips...

Nail Art Tutorial: Neon Triangles

Hi again! I guess I have been in a tutorial making mood so I'm just rolling with it. Some might be quite simple, such as this one, but I hope you enjoy them nevertheless. This is for the manicure that I showed you this morning featuring neon accent triangles. They are fun and easy to do. Try them out in different color combinations...

Supplies used:

• InDecisive Nail Lacquer Jawbreaker
• OPI Blue it out of Proportion (also used OPI You Are so Outta Lime!, Life Gave Me Lemons, and Pink Outside the Box for the rest of the manicure)
• Striping tape

Steps:

Instructions:

1. Apply desired number of coats of base color. Here I used 2 coats of InDecisive Lacquer Jawbreaker
2. Arrange 2 pieces of striping tape to create a triangle at the nail half moon. Add another 2 piece of striping tape parallel to the first as shown above
3. Using your desired accent color, paint inside the half moon triangle and between the striping tape. For this tutorial, I used OPI Blue it out of Proportion.
4. Quickly remove the striping tape before the polish begins to dry to ensure a clean line
5. Add a top coat and enjoy!

Easy peasy, right?

Please let me know if you have any questions!

InDecisive Lacquer Jawbreaker

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you the adorable InDecisive Lacquer beauty named Jawbreaker and some nail art that I created with it. I wanted to play off the fun neon colors within Jawbreaker so I pulled each one out into a triangle accent. This is my subtle way of begging summer to stick around a little bit longer. Does it really have to go so soon?

Speckled Neon Butterfly Wings

Hi Lovelies!

Okay, so I had a tougher time than expected parting ways with my Speckled Neon gradient from yesterday and I decided to play with it some more before moving on. I have often admired some of the lovely butterfly wing manicures out there, but never tried my hand at creating one until now...

Speckled Neon Gradient

I couldn't get enough of the adorable Specked Neon shades from InDecisive Lacquer that I showed you yesterday, so after swatching them, I decided to play around and create some nail art. Although these don't come in all the colors of a rainbow, I thought it might still be fun to put them in rainbow-y order and of course that meant some sort of gradient was in order...

InDecisive Lacquer Speckled Neons

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you the very cute Speckled Neon toppers from InDecisive Lacquer. I'm a big fan of the black and white speckled shades so I was quite excited to try the new neon additions to the line. I tried them out over black and white and I am pleased to say that they most certainly did not disappoint...

Pastel Jelly Sandwich...

There was a time not too long ago when I was obsessing over pretty pastel shades with tiny specks of black glitter. To be exact, I was drooling over the El Corazon Eggs of Wild Birds collection. After playing around with the OPI Sheer Tints skittle manicure from yesterday, I realized that with a little glitter jelly sandwich action, I could create just about any speckled shade that I wanted thanks to InDecisive Lacquer...

InDecisive Denim Unzipped...

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you this fun zipper manicure that I created with a gorgeous, soon to be released InDecisive Nail Lacquer shade. Although it was still unnamed when I created this nail art, I had my fingers crossed for a particular name. Can you guess what name I was rooting for based on this nail art?...

InDecisive Bloodstone with Messy Mansion Stamping...

I finally got a day off yesterday and had time to play around with polish. One of the lovelies I got to play with was Bloodstone by InDecisive Nail Lacquer. I must confess my ignorance as I initially thought a bloodstone is something made up from a fantasy book or movie. You know, the ones that are really popular and loved by seemingly everyone besides me. I turned to trusty Google to set me straight and realized it is an actual mineral and one of the birthstones for March. Oy! Hanging my head in complete shame here! Since I had the fantasy theme in my head though, I did proceed with stamping the mythical phoenix...

InDecisive Snowstorm with Messy Mansion Icicles...

Hi Everyone! In 'honor' of the snow storm that is sweeping across a large part of the US, I've got some more winter-y nail art to show you today. This features a beautiful indie polish named Snowstorm, which inspired the manicure. The addition of chilly Messy Mansion icicles, makes me happy to be safe and warm right now at home...

InDecisive Nail Lacquer Harvest! (plus a Giveaway)

I have a really special polish to show you today. It is a custom lacquer created for me by Aleksandra of InDecisive Nail Lacquer. I had mentioned to her my recent fascination with small circle glitter and she responded with a most generous offer to create a shade for me. I truly don't know what I did to deserve her kindness and I'm so honored to present to you InDecisive Nail Lacquer Harvest...

InDecisive Nail Lacquer - Ichor

Today I have a post for you that is a few months overdue! I delayed swatching these thermal beauties after breaking my nails so I'm super excited to finally be able to show them to you now. Ichor is a thermal color changing topper by InDecisive Nail Lacquer that is available in blue, purple, red and black. They can be layered over different base colors to create fun effects. I chose to layer them over white to show their "purest" form. I couldn't help but wear each of them for a day or two while swatching. They are just so fun...

Sunday Stamping: Plate Ending in Eight...

It has been weeks since the last time I participated in a Sunday Stamping challenge in Adventures in Stamping. I missed lots of fun challenges while waiting for my nails to grow out and I'm really excited to be back to stamping. The theme for today is to use a plate ending in the number eight. Leave it to me to come back on an easy challenge...

Mermaid...

Today I would like to show you a show you a mermaid manicure which was inspired by the beautiful InDecisive Mermaid glitter. I love the beautiful teal shade over green and it really made me wish to create a manicure around it...

Crack and Burn...

I would like to show you some nail art that I created while swatching InDecisive Nal Lacquer last week. I was captivated by Antique for the name and the beautiful silver flakies. For some reason, it made me think of DIY distressed furniture so I really wanted to distress the tips of the manicure. The look was inspired by a Nailartitudesdeclaire manicure which I spotted on Pinterest a few days prior. In comparison with the delicate manicure of Nailartitudesdeclaire, I'm a fairly heavy handed when it comes to free hand nail art. As you can see, rather than a gentle distressing, I ended up with "burnt" tips, but I love it...

InDecisive Nail Lacquer...

I am so excited today to get the chance to show you swatches of some of the new glitter additions to the InDecisive Nail Lacquer line. I was really impressed when I first tried this indie brand so my expectations were certainly high. I must say that these did no disappoint even a little bit and in fact I'm having a difficult time picking favorites...

Polish Days: To Boldly Go...

Ack! Polish Days caught me completely off guard this month. If it wasn't for the reminder email last night I would have forgotten completely. I just have to say that Polly Polish does an incredible job organizing this challenge every month and even sends out reminder emails which are a huge help for forgetful ones like myself, so if you are interested in joining the fun, don't hesitate!

The theme for this month is "To Boldly Go..." which automatically makes me think of a galaxy manicure. I've done a few before and have always enjoyed them, but this is my first textured galaxy...

InDecisive Nail Lacquer

I would like to start out the new year with swatches of InDecisive Nail Lacquer which were kindly provided to me by their creator. It is a new Indie brand that sets out to help you find "what to wear when you can't decide what to wear!" With such pretty colors and finishes, however, it is still impossible to decide which one to wear. It has everything from glitter packed jellies to holo to a color changing top coat.
