Nocibé "Talenteuse"

Hello all and happy Wednesday!  October continues to roll by which means more pink (kind of) nail polish in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Today's nail polish is Nocibé's "Talenteuse" which I bought in Rouen, France in 2015.  (And I'd love to back in France right now if I could!)

"Talenteuse" is actually not pink (my bad but I was running out of pink nail polishes) - instead it is a nice fuchsia and purple.  Formula wise this nail polish was fantastic and very easy to apply.  After only coat, "Talenteuse" was completely opaque and streak free.  However I added a second coat for the photo because I always do.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Talenteuse" for five full days before there were any noticeable chips.

Overall I am really pleased with Nocibé's "Talenteuse."  Everything about this nail polish is perfect and I cannot wait to wear it again soon!  I also wish I could get my hands on more polishes by Nocibé!

Nocibé "Ah Les Hommes!"

Bonjour everyone!  I hope you all survived Monday!  Today's nail polish is Nocibé's "Ah Les Hommes!" which translates to "ah the men!"  Nocibé is a French brand and I purchased this polish in Paris, France in 2015.

"Ah Les Hommes!" is a gorgeous deep purple polish.  Formula wise this nail polish was extremely thick and difficult to apply, however I think my bottle is drying out as there was excess dried polish around the cap.  After two coats, "Ah Les Hommes!" was completely opaque and had no visible streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for two days before it began to flake off.

Overall I do like Nocibé's "Ah Les Hommes!" but probably won't be able to wear it again unless I buy a new bottle, since mine has dried out.  That being said, I would wear this nail polish again if the bottle had not dried out.

Nocibé "Lucky Green"

Hi everyone!  We've nearly made it to the weekend and tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day!  (As someone who is half Irish it is always nice to celebrate!)  Today's nail polish is Nocibé's "Lucky Green."

"Lucky Green" is a very pretty green and silver chunky glitter polish that features star-shaped glitter.  Formula wise this polish was slightly watery and the glitter didn't easily come out of the bottle.  After a few attempts I was able to work some glitter chunks out of the bottle and on to my nail using tweezers.  Like many glitter nail polishes "Lucky Green" isn't necessarily meant to be worn alone so I decided to test it out over a few polishes.

The first polish I decided to test out with "Lucky Green" was OPI's "Pedal Faster Suzi" which is a lavender colored polish.  This combination was cute and very springy.

The second polish I decided to try out with "Lucky Green" was Sinful Colors "Mint 2B Cool."  This combination was pretty and very mermaid-like!

Overall I really like Nocibé's "Lucky Green."  I love how this polish looked on my nails and with some patience and a pair of tweezers I was able to get the star-shaped glitter out of the bottle.  I will wear this nail polish again soon!

Nail Art: Monogram Nails!

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!  It has been a while since I have done a nail art so I decided today was the day to change that!  We have a saying in the South "If it ain't moving monogram it!"  So that's exactly what I have done with my nails today!

Maybelline's "Coral Crush" and Nocibé's "Chaud Cacao"

I love having everything monogrammed (and I do mean everything - from beach towels to cars I've had it monogrammed!)  The hardest part of this nail art for me was picking out colors!  I could think of so many great combinations but I settled on the classic pink and brown combo!  The nail polishes are Nocibé's "Chaud Cacao" as the base and Maybelline's "Coral Crush."  To create the letters and the polka dots I used a nail dotting tool I purchased on Amazon.  I also added in a nail gem which I got from a set from a store called Francesca's.

To complete this nail art I needed some basic supplies.  The supplies are pictured above and it includes various sizes of dotting tools as well as the pack of nail gems from Francesca's.

Overall it was harder than I thought to create letters using dotting tools.  I initially planned on putting my monogram on all of my nails but I settle for the accent nail (ring finger) for the monogram and polka dots on the other 8 fingers.  However I think the nail art turned out cute enough - though next time I might look into actual decals for the letters.

Nocibé "Chaud Cacao"

Ho everyone!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and is enjoying some time off of work. Since it is cold and wintery out I decided to pull out a fun nail polish to warm myself up!  Today's nail polish is Nocibé's "Chaud Cacao" which means hot chocolate in French.  Nocibé is a French brand of nail polish made in Luxembourg that I picked up in the Summer of 2015 while visiting Rouen, France.

"Chaud Cacao" is a very pretty warm brown colored nail polish.  Formula wise this nail polish is great and it was very easy to apply.  After two coats, "Chaud Cacao" was completely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Chaud Cacao" for six days before there were a few minor tip chips.

Overall I am very impressed by Nocibé's "Chaud Cacao."  Everything about this nail polish is great and I wouldn't change anything about it!  I actually wish I could get my hands on this nail polish in the United States!

Nocibé "Ocean World"

Hi guys!  It is hard for me to believe that it has been almost a year since I went to France for vacation!  (I miss it dearly, it was such a great trip!)  While I was there I picked up over a dozen bottles of nail polish and today's nail polish is Nocibé's "Ocean World."  I bought this specific polish in Rouen, France.

"Ocean World" is the most gorgeous sky blue nail polish with a golden shimmer.  Formula wise this polish was...  After two coats, "Ocean World" was...  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Ocean World" for about four days before there were a few minor tip chips.

Overall I am very pleased with Nocibé's "Ocean World."  Everything about this nail polish is fantastic and I will definitely be wearing it more often!
