China Glaze Body & Sol (Summer 2019) Collection | Swatches and Review

Hi everyone!

Sorry for being a little bit remiss about posting here over the past 2 months... I was finishing up my semester and wasn't able to write as much. Hopefully you'll be hearing more from me now that it's the summer!

Today I'm doing a swatch and review of the entire Body & Sol Summer 2019 Collection from China Glaze. The collection is 8 polishes total, and are various different shades of nude with some sort of a glimmery, shimmery twist to each. I was really excited to try these out since they are totally different from what I'd expect of a summer collection. But as someone who does not wear many summer neons and bright colors, these seem much more my style. Plus, all of these polishes are so different from anything else I have in my collection.

Let's get into the review... Be warned: this is a photo heavy post!

First up is "Beaches and Toes". Here I'm wearing 3 coats with top coat. I probably could've gotten away with 2, but the third coat really helps make everything a little more opaque. I would describe this as a classic taupe, with silver holographic microglitter throughout.

Spring Floral Nails using China Glaze "The Arrangement" Collection | NailsByErin

Hi everyone!

Today's nail art is perfect for spring: a simple floral design using China Glaze's new spring collection, the Arrangement!

This is a gorgeous collection with such a diverse group of colors and I was so excited to receive it after eyeing it on social media for so long. Thank you, China Glaze!

Let's get into the design and the colors I used...

I Followed a Bob Ross Tutorial on My Nails!

Hi everyone!

Today I have a nail design that I am very excited to share.... I tried to follow a Bob Ross tutorial on my nails! This trend has been going around YouTube with Rosanna Pansino, Jenna Marbles, and James Charles. Since some people have been trying to recreate his paintings on other surfaces and with other mediums, I decided to try and do one on my nails.

The Bob Ross video I decided on was "Island in the Wilderness", which was relatively simple with some pine trees and a lake.

Keep on reading to hear more about how I did these nails!

Rose Gold Marble Nails | NailsByErin

Hi everyone!

Today's nail art shouldn't be too much of a surprise, considering I've been on a real rose gold kick lately. I decided to re-attempt some rose gold marble nails using the same polishes I used in my Rose Gold Minnie Nails from the other month.

Fun fact... I was originally not going to upload this nail art because I'm not 100% happy with how it came out. I feel like I'm really just not getting the marble nail look right. I've never been really happy with how mine end up looking. If any fellow nail artists have some tips, please feel free to leave them down below!

But I decided to post these and hope you enjoy them anyway. 😊Let's get into the details!
