Rainbow foil and holo

Rainbow foil plus holo because a rainbow is not a real rainbow without it. For this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is Glitz n Glam and the prompt is Foil/Flakes! So I went with the foil side and decided to try out some foil again since I last did over a year ago!

Sparkly highlighter rainbow nail art

FINALLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BORED IN MATH CLASS. Try out this highlighter-over-silver-holo-glitter look for the most bomb-ass school-supply nails since schools were a thing. I even tested out THREE different kinds of highlighters (there's three different kinds of highlighters? what?) to determine which one yielded the best and most rainbowiest result! I used the new Simply Neat Miracle Mat to perform my experiments. Watch the video below!

$200 Nail polish?! Or not.

It's gone down in nail polish history as one of the most expensive nail polishes sold after it's retail discontinuation. Some have snagged it for under $100, some $200, and some, apparently, $700?!?! But why? I investigate.

Here's the 'replica' of the now discontinued Essie 'Starry Starry Night' - this one is part of their recently released Retro Revival collection. You can find it on Amazon (when it's in stock) or on eBay.

DIY fancy quilted nails

Finally new nail art for 2016! How's about some quilted nails cause I'm so fancy and all.

For this week's edition of the weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) I co-host on Instagram along with Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey, the theme is Glitz n Glam and the prompt is Quilted! Somewhat of a departure from my usual order of things (wtf is quilting anyways), but in the end a gradient worked itself into the mani somehow, as with some shimmer and holo glitter soooooo... that's the Glitz part?

I watched Tartofraises' amazing French witchcraft magic 3D quilted nails video for immediate inspiration and pretty much just drooled and then cried cause I had no idea what was happening even though I speak French. I looked for North American ways of achieving this look and the next best thing was found in a video by Kelli Marissa - dental floss, who knew those actually had a use!

How to file and shape your nails

Cover your eyes, I'm naked. I'm also yellow - yes, I know - and if I had a dollar for every time someone told me my yellow nails are "gross" or "unhealthy" then I'd be one rich bitch. Please watch this video on what it actually means when you're a serial nail polisher and your nails are yellow (assuming you don't actually have related health problems that may cause yellow nails) if that was on the tip of your tongue.

Moving on to the topic of the day, how to file your nails! Watch the video below because if a picture says 1,000 words, then a video says, like, 1,000,000, according to my quick math.

I always use a glass nail file
