Above the Curve Nail Polish Review

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach

I have lots of pictures to share with you today.

Above the Curve Nail Polish is an Indie Polish Brand.
This Brand has a meaningful name and cause.

Angel has scoliosis and Shriner's disease.
When she was 12 Shriner's Hospital of Portland gave her a Life saving
surgery that corrected a 74 degree curve.
This is were the name comes in.
Above the Curve and spine logo is to live above the curve of scoliosis.

They donate a portion  of their  proceeds to Charities to help others.
They donate to many kinds of Charities and have donated over thousands
already and plan to keep donating for the cause.


*****HIGH TIDE WARNING****
Many Mani's and Swatches!

SURFS UP





This is the Newest Collection out By Above the Curve 
Summer Destinations 2014

This Collection can be purchased here- AboveTheCurve Store Link

These 4 polishes dry with a Matte Finish.
You can always add a Glossy Top Coat to make them shiny.





This is an outdoor shot.
I used 3 thin coats of Myrtle Beach and Coney Island .
3? you ask.. Well I don't having VNL (Visible Nail Line)
and when I held the polish bottle in my hand  I saw a line. 
2 coats has great coverage. 


Did I mention how this polish dries in Record Time?
It really does. It dries faster than any polish I have,
including Seche Vite.

This is with a Top Coat and indoors.

I used 3 coats of Boardwalk (Blue)
and 4 coats of Venice Beach.
This Polish goes on Glossy but Dries Matte.
I used MJ XXIV  by MyOnline Shop for art.

I wanted to have fun and mix some colors up.
I use Venice Beach,Coney Island and Boardwalk.
I used Wet`N`Wild Matte Polish to Matte my Black Nails.
M42 is what I used for art.
I just love how these polishes compliment one another.

I wanted to try water marbling with these.
It wasn't a huge success at first. 
These polishes dry super fast already and when I tried to create a design in the water 
I was only making a mess. So I hurried up and dipped one finger and
and got as much as I could on it.
I used Pueen Encore Set SE O4 B

As a Stamper I just had to try.
They all do stamp, but I would recommend over light color bases only.

I wanted to show that even if your not a stamper these
polishes work great as Art of their own. I left the center blank so you can
visualize what you would for art. Would you add a straight Black line?
Or add some Rhinestones for some Bling-Bling action?
Dots would also look great going down the center of this nail as well.
The possibles are endless. Be creative and go wild.


Here I painted the nail  2 coats of White and add a Matte finish.
I then used a straw to make the splatter design.

I have had so much fun with this collection.

They apply so easily and dry in record time.
Removal was not bad either.

I would defiantly recommend this collection .
