Clarins 230 - The history of the Unicorn Pee

The historial, highly coveted unicorn pee nail polish has FOUND ITS WAY TO MY NAILS. Wow. I am so honoured that such a supernatural creative would grace my hands with its urinary excrements. 

So you may have heard me mention in my nail polish collection video that I indeed have an original bottle of Clarins 230 aka "Unicorn Pee", but you wouldn't have seen it on my nails up until now. That's cause it took me a year to finally get around to doing this set of videos... woops. Don't blame me, blame the extinction of the unicorn.

In any case, enjoy photos of the legendary piss of the unicorn, an up-close-and-personal video feed of its magical and enchanting properties, and the officially unofficial history of this landmark nail polish!  

Clarins 230 nail polish, i.e., something you should never buy yourself unless you're a rich af asshole

No-water holographic (drag) watermarble!

A whole week between nail arts this time, eh? *sweats* Meanwhile people on YouTube asking me to post videos every day and I'm like: umm..... YouTube is not my job. I am an average adult in society and work at a desk in an office with terrible lighting that does not do holo justice for 40 hours a week. So unless someone wants to go in for me every day (or pay me millions to quit), then I likely cannot post YouTube videos every day ;)

Blah blah blah HERE'S MOAR NAILS. 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 jewel tones and the prompt is drag marble! Cause you can never have enough practice at trying to be Russian (see here and here).

Stained glass glitter placement + easy removal!

Five hours and a lot of snapple crack later... came these nails. These took the longest to do of any glitter placement I've done (not that I've done that many), but in any case, DON'T THEY LOOK SWEET?! 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 jewel tones and the prompt is stained glass! I actually listened again (I'm on a roll).

These nails were inspired by Glitterfingersss on Instagram (she also has a blog here), but she doesn't make video tutorials so I just had to do the world a service and figure out how to do these myself, then show everyone!

Back to school nails & what I learned in school (or didn't learn)

It's that time of the year again when you wish it wasn't that time of year again. Back to school season! Not for me though... muahahah. I was done with school about 2 years ago after finishing my Master's degree. BYE SCHOOL BYE

But nevertheless, it's still a time of year that everyone experiences because THOSE GODDAMN BACK TO SCHOOL FLYERS ARE EVERYWHERE. So if you're in school, then these videos are for celebrating (or not celebrating) your return, and if you're not in school, then these videos are for celebrating not going back to school but having to put up with those flyers everywhere.

Two-toned scaled gradient waves

Back in the gradient biz woop woop! Finally feels like home. 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 summer and the prompt is cobalt and and peach! I actually listened this time and did exactly that.

This two-toned scaled gradient is super trippy but easier than it looks! You do need nicely opaque creme polishes though for this to work, which I found!! These two Floss Gloss orange creme are sooooo opaque they actually make me consider liking creme polishes almost as much as holo (but still no).

Soccer ball holo glitter placement

HOLLLLOOOOOO GLITTTAHHHH cause what else. 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 summer and the prompt is magenta and navy! Naturally I did nothing that made sense with this prompt!

Here's an in-your-face glitter placement using large maxi-sized holographic loose glitters from my fav nail supply store, Twinkled T! Don't forget you can use my code SIMPLY for 10% off anything in their shop! This is my second time doing a full-nail glitter placement mani (here's my first, with smaller glitters), and I placed the large hex's in a soccer ball pattern. Cause summer = soccer? Idk. The holo blinds you anyways so you can't see the soccer effect at all, whatever, sports, boring, not holo.

So what's better than an intense fire for summer?
