Salt N' Pepper ● Nail art Tutorial

salt-and-pepper-nail-tutorial-dots-cute-easy
Hello Loves,
Today I'm going to show how to do an EXTREMELY SIMPLE nail art. And you don't need extravagant tools to create this awesome look. So let's begin!

You'll need:

Also you don't have to use black and white nail polishes. You can use colors of your choice! You'll need bobby pins to create dots. Just open a bobby pin and use it as a dotting tool (well unless you have one).


Step one - Apply nude nail polish as a base color and wait until it dries. Then place two different colored dots as it's shown in the picture.
Step two - Using the opposite color, start doting around a circle.
Step three - Once again switch colors and dot around. 


Step four - Just repeat until you cover the entire nail in dots! Do it on your whole hand or just on your accent nails and you're DONE!

I hope you'll try it yourself! If you do please send me a picture through twitter or instagram. It took forever to create these pictures and a gif, so if you like this kind of posts and want more please let me know in the comments down below! 



                                                                                

Review ● Catrice Cosmetics Top Coats

Hi!
Today I've decided to talk about these top coats because I'm in love/hate relationship with them. Personally Catrice Cosmetics I would describe as an average quality drugstore brand. I used to love their nail polishes but after they raised the price from 6.90Lt(2.70USD) to 10.59Lt(4.25USD), I just don't think they are worth it. And now let's talk about their Top Coats.

Catrice Cosmetics 'GEL LIKE' Top Coat (1/10)
To be honest I really hate this one because it's simply horrible. Unfortunately I can't say a single great thing about it! 
Reasons why:
  • Really thick
  • Takes FOREVER to dry
  • Definitely doesn't look like Gel polish
  • After 1-2 days top coat layer starts peeling off - really bizarre!
DON'T recommend wasting your money on this one!


Catrice Cosmeticts 'Holographic Flakes' Top Coat Limited edition (6/10)
Once I saw this one in the store I almost screamed. I've been looking for flaky top coat for almost 2 years! Because it is a part of limited holographic edition it was quite pricey - 15.90Lt (6.4USD). But it looked beautiful and I had to buy it.. Unfortunately it turned out to be not that amazing..
Reasons why:
  • Clear nail polish 'base' is really thick
  • Flakes are either too big or really tiny
  • Although it seems to be packed with flakes, unfortunately flakes are REALLY sparse!!
  • After this top coat dried I had to apply 2 layers of regular top coat because flake edges were sticking out
Yeah it looks amazing now over my black nail polish, but I had to work to make it look the way I wanted. I would NOT recommend buying this one :/  


Catrice Cosmetics 'Quick Dry & High Shine' Top Coat (9/10)
I looove this one! To be honest I would even say it's one of the best drugstore brand top coats out there.
Reasons why:
  • Dries in seconds
  • Thin formula - I'm able to almost finish the entire bottle before it gets thick!
  • 2 layers of this top coat can significantly effect the lasting power of other nail polishes
I simply love it and definitely recommend to try it!
