What a Hottie!

I have a great layering polish for you to try out if you haven't already! Color Club's "Hottie" is a hex and round various size silver and blue glitters suspended in a clear blue polish.  I decided to layer it over Wet N' Wild "Black Creme".  I put 2 coats down of black and 2 layers of hottie.  I wish the sun was out when I was swatching so I could show the glittery goodness.  It still looks really cool in natural light- looks spacey if you ask me :)







The little glitter has a holo-ish feel to it.  Would be a great dark look to wear on a sunny day.  I tried Hottie over NYC Pier 17, which is a rich blue. It's amazing how the glitter stands out on this one too! It has a completely different look to it!  I topped off both with SV.

So, which base do you like better?

Check out Vampy Varnish's giveaway, it's pretty awesome :) here it is!

Nudie coming up...

so.... I don't really wear nudes.. as a matter of fact, I never wear them... so I thought I'd try something new.  I wanted to try them out to see the color, how it covered etc. 

This color is OPI's "Canberra't Without You".. it's a peachy/beige with little silver sparkles flakes in it. This is it in natural light matte'd using Essie's Matte About You.  I have to say I like this mani better matted because it looks softer and the faint shimmer comes through more. The formula is typical awesome OPI and applied well, this was 3 coats and you can still see VNL but mine are pretty white to star with. 

I don't think it looked stellar on me with my skin tone but it for sure is a pretty one and I'd consider more nudes.

Would you guys want to see more nudies and neutrals?

side note: I'm adding more to my give away because I hit 80 followers... if I hit 90 or even 100 before Saturday I'll keep adding more to it :)

Party of Cute!

I had been debating the Party of 5 Glitters for a while... I wasn't sure what to do with them! Finally I decided to pick them up because I don't own anything like it.  I laid down two coats of Color Club's "Cat Walk Queen" which is a deep red/purple wine color.
Then I added the glitters, hexagon and round green, blue and red with silver colors! was fun! As far as formula, it was kind of hard because I hadn't worked with large glitter before so getting them all evened out on the nail proved to be a problem.  This mani would look alot better in the sun but it was raining out so... ya, no sun.  I like the P5G and I think I'll try it on a lighter color next time.

Chic Simplicity

indoor natural light- was rainy out :(

I did this mani on my sister in law and I think it turned out cute! The base color is China Glaze "Adore" and I stamped it with black Konad special polish then topped it with a jewel sticker the topped with SV. I used Konad plate M21 from the Kit B that OC Nail Art sent to me for review.  This mani looks like it's professional and complicated but it was really simple and the jewel sticker adds that extra salon-looking touch! As said before, Adore applied awesomely and in *1* coat, but I added two. I may actually do this

mani for me one day :)

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY GIVEAWAY .. and what do you think... if the blog gets to 80 should I add a piece of swag? :")

Contrasting Shimmer

outside cloudy light

I liked this mani in person... the thing that bugged me the most was the silver glittery polish I used was Color Club's Magic Attraction which didn't photograph right.  MA is this awesome silver holo glitter that's dense and in your face.  But may be since there was no sun out and it started to rain, there wasn't enough sun to show it's colors. Will for sure have to swatch this when it's sunny!

I laid down a black polish from Sinful Colors called "What's Your Name".  It's a black lacquer that has wonderful blue, purple and green micro glitter in it.  This color is fabulous in direct light and I'm sure would rock in the sunlight! Click on the pictures to enlarge and see the shimmer.  I finished with a top coat of SV.
Thanks again to my sister in law for the guest modeling this week ;-)

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY GIVEAWAY THERE'S A FEW MORE DAYS TO ENTER (and it's open internationally!)

St. Patty's Day is here!

This polish is from the 3 green Zoya promotion.  Ivanka is a delicious glittery green that has a gold shimmer to it when viewed from the side.  I did 2 coats of Ivanka for my sister in law.  The formula is really great- went on smooth and did not dry grainy.

I applied SV as a top coat then stamped with M15 stamped with white Konad special polish. This polish reminds me of St. Patty's day and a leprechaun with a pot of gold! Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone :)

again, thanks to my sister in law for volunteering to pose :)

Green ... with Envy

This color almost looks black. It's from Zoya's 3 green promo.. Envy.  Envy is a deep olive green creme.  It goes on smooth and is opaque in 2 coats.  I'm not a huge fan of dark greens but I think next time I wear this one I will stamp over it with white or silver.

Flakies!

The base of this mani is OPI's "What's with the Cattitude" then I put Island Girls "Island Volcano" and topped off with SV.  This is the first time I have used flakies, and I must say I like them :) This polish is one that I found in Hawaii and picked up an extra bottle to add to the giveaway.  The smell is strong on it and it's thick, but in my opinion the consistency helps to get the flakies out.  My sister in law was nice enough to lend me her hands for swatching, so in case you were wondering, no, those aren't mine :)

What's with the Cattitude is my favorite blue because it's creamy and soft and applies like a dream! I really love the big brushes for OPI.  I think this look would be cute on toes!
