2 Nail Designs

Hey guys!! Today I have 2 designs to show you. The first is with Del Sol (the color-changing polish) in Ruby Slippers, but it never changed color! I don't know the reason for this, whether it's no sun out, or too heavy a top coat but it just didn't work:( I stamped over that with my trusty red Jordana using plate BM-I don't even know.

 The second I still have on. I used Claire's Twinkle Twinkle (one of my favorites!) and some Bundle Monster nail art stars that I stuck on with top coat.

There you have it! Yes I did shorten my nails a lot, reason being I play guitar and they really get in the way.

Thanks for stopping by!
P.S. Would anybody really mind if I just did another giveaway and tried again but just forget about this one? I just have never done it before and it's so late anyway. Please comment about that!

Funky Fingers Baby Baby Baby Swatch and Review

The polish I'm reviewing today is Funky Fingers - Baby Baby Baby.  Its a clear base with light blue sparkles and silver holographic glitters. 2 coats are shown with topcoat.  It is SUPER gritty and chips so bad.  It's not really a long-wear polish, but it's really fun and shiny;)

Blue Franken

Hello my lovely readers! Today I am going to share with you a franken I made with this very large set of dry sparkles.  I used the end of my Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away (maybe there was 1/5 of it left?), mixed it with Seche Vite (which I should not do because A, it wastes it, and B because the glitters sink to the bottom), and glitters that were green and smaller holographic blue.  It need 2 coats, and 2 coats of Seche Vite on top to be shiny and not chunky.  Overall, I think it looks OK but it looks horrible on camera.  Also, so you can sort of understand what it looks like in real life, it's more aqua blue than dark like in the pictures.

 Above: before topcoat.   Below: 2 coats topcoat

Any likes? I need a name for this.  Leave one in the comments if you have a good one!

On a side note, for my birthday and the great sale, I got 3 Deborah Lippman nail polishes which are Sugar Daddy, Bring on the Bling, and Glamorous Life.  Also I won my first giveaway!! It's from Polish Obsession so I'm really really excited to get all my new polishes. Life is good when nail polish is involved. :)

Gettin Busy!

In the past like 2 days I've swatched quite a few polishes. Revlon Whimsical, the ever popular Deborah Lippman dupe for Glitter in the Air.  It's very sheer and I was smart enough to not put a base color and I didn't like it by itself:( This is 3 coats.

 It looks ok in these pictures but looking straight on it it's very pukey.

Next is Spoiled by Wet & Wild Pirate booty.  This is actually 4 coats because I don't think it's meant to be a full glitter, just top coat.  The brushes in these are SO annoying.  Formula is ok, not too crazy about the drying time.  It peeled off (well, I peeled it off) in a day so I took it off today.

 Then I put this on: it's just a franken of mine made of topcoat and little shredded gold pieces.

 The next polish (I'm putting it on right now!) I will post tomorrow.  I'm not telling what it is but I'll give you a hint: it's holo:)
Take care!

I'm back with gradient nails!

Hello all!  I'm back, I had a wonderful time in Maryland:)  It's good to post again.  I have a bunch of pictures for you all!  First, I swatched Essie Main Squeeze. I don't get the name, that bothers me.

I didn't like it when I bought it, but now I fell in love! It seems kind of ghosty to me.
Then yesterday I did a gradient because I didn't know what to do with the color I had on (Love & Beauty Blue/green that I've shown bottle pics of).  I sponged Claire's Twinkle Twinkle about halfway down then on top of that OPI Lincoln Park After Dark.

 The one above is the closest to the true color.  My camera wanted to make it blue, and not catch the pretty purple duochrome glitters...

Well bye for now!

PS.  I got Revlon Whimsical!;)

Holographic Mermaid Nails!

I was given the idea to do mermaid nails from Nail Nerd and I just bought all of the Milani 3D Holographic nail polishes (!) so I used the blue one, called Cyberspace.  These polishes are sooooo amazing.  They're all holographic, and about $6 each.  I'll be using these a lot soon.  For this mani I did 3 coats of Cyberspace, then stamped BM-217 with a nail polish that was at PacSun by a brand called black poppy with no color name.  It's really pigmented so it's wonderful for stamping with but it stains so I don't really like using it.  Then in the design of the stamp I filled in a little bit of Baby Baby Baby by Funky Fingers, a great light blue glitter.  Everything was topped with Seche Vite, but that dulled the base color:(

 This polish looks better in artificial lights, the more yellow it is the better holo effect.  That's why it looks so silver!

Hope you liked it! :D
