Nina Ultra Pro Ink-Ling Dotticure!

Good evening ladies! I've been drooling over all the dotticures on the blogosphere lately and had a craving to do one myself! I decided to use another one of my new Nina Ultra Pro polishes, this time in Ink-Ling!

What I used:
2 coats Nina Ultra Pro Ink-Ling
Confetti Lonesome Dove (for dotting)
Zoya Toni (for dotting)

Ink-Ling is a dark, blue-toned gray creme! It was a dream to work with! No cleanup was required and the consistency is great! No complaints here :). I am really impressed with the Nina Ultra Pro polishes so far. I then took a large dotting tool and used Lonesome Dove and Toni to make large dots, then used a small dotter to do the same colors elsewhere, and finally used a medium sized dotter to dot the opposite color inside the large original dots! Confetti is a not very well-known brand, but I really like them! They also are $1.99, which is appealing! Lonesome Dove is a light gray creme. Toni, a berry red creme, is from Zoya's recent fall line and I thought this was a great polish, too! On the thick side, but I don't think that'll be a problem when doing a full mani!

What do you think of these polishes and this dotticure?

Comparison: China Glaze Tinsel Town & Nina Ultra Pro Glamrock

Hello again, ladies! I'm excited to show you 2 identical dupes I found in my stash recently: China Glaze Tinsel Town and Nina Ultra Pro Glamrock. I actually bought both recently, I guess I am attracted to the same shades at different times!

I thought I'd share my discovery with you guys because I'm not sure how easy Tinsel Town is to find (it's from last year's or the year before's holiday collection), but Glamrock is readily available. With the holidays getting nearer, you may want a shade like this! Nina Ultra Pro recently redid their packaging. Their brush is now wider, like the Wet n' Wild brush, while the China Glaze brush remains the same. China Glaze ranges from $5-$8 and Nina Ultra Pro is $4 and some change at Sally's! Hope you enjoy!

Below I did 2 coats of each polish and 1 coat of topcoat! Glamrock is pointer and ring, Tinsel Town is middle and pinky!

Glamrock and Tinsel Town have small and medium sized silver glitter, which sometimes flash blue, in a charcoal, dark gray base. Both colors have great formulas and didn't give me any issues!

In this photo you can see they equally sparkle in the sunlight!

 Here's the contrast of the silver glitters in the dark base. Both polishes have relatively the same amount of both sized glitters.

I hope this was helpful!
