Twinsie Tuesday Regional Polish

Hello hello,

We are all showing you a Regional polish this week.  I, of course, am showing you a Joe Fresh Polish.  You can find Joe in all Superstores across Canada. 

This is Opal.  She's a lovely soft looking polish with a lot of fun opal shimmer and tiny glass flakies.  In the bottle it looks as though it's in a milky base, but it is sooo shear.  It looks amazing over black.  I'll swatch that next time!

Check out the other twinsie's Regional polishes!

Styled Out, Maybelline

Ahhh Monday's.  I love them.  Seriously.  It's when I get my house back in order from the weekend, and plan and organize my week.  Looks like lots of beach days ahead with my girlies!  I love Summer time.

I am so in love with Styled Out.  It's from the Maybelline Color Show Denims collection.  The formula was so amazing.  I could have gotten away with just one coat but for some reason that just didn't feel right?

It's a beautiful deep denim blue with fabulous silver shimmery shimmer :)  It dried on the matte side.

Here it is with a top coat.



And with a glitter coat of Wet & Wild Light With Caution.  There's a lot of fun glitters in LWC.  I see big gold and Pink hexes, and smal blue, green, pink and gold squares.



Jumble

I am so thankful for the Summer weather we are getting in Southern BC.  Finally!

I've got a lovely jumble of polishes to show you today.  I have Wet and Wild Blue Wants to be a Millionaire layered over Wet and Wild Black Cream.

This is the pretty lilac jelly from the OPI Ballet Collection.  Care to Danse looks more pink on the nail than purple, but it's still very pretty.



LA Girl Uninhibited over OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?





And I reswatched my namesake Grape Fizz by Revlon.  This is such a hard polish tophotograph.  I feel like it just doesn't capture the beauty of this lovely polish.  The soft mini flakies just float around in this gorgeous jelly base.  Plus it smells like grape gum!

Twinsie Tuesday, Best Polish Deal

We are showing our "Best Polish Deal" this week.  I don't have many good stories about finding great polishes for cheap.  The one that came to mind though, is Night Before by Rimmel.  In Canada, Rimmel's are usually about $5.00, and I snagged this one for $1.95.  I was super happy with the price, and then absolutely AMAZED when I put it on the first time! 

The base is a blurple jelly and it is so jam packed with shimmer!  Loooove.

And WELCOME to our lovely Maribeth who is the newest Twinsie Tuesday member!  So happy to have you join the group!

Looking forward to checking out the other Twinsie's "Good Deals"

Summer Lovin, Jessica

Hello my lovely's.

Summer Lovin is a peachy/nude/pastely cream polish that I am in love with.  Thank you Nory-girl for sending it to me, it's my first Jessica, and I love her :)

I added a coat of Sinful Colors Out Of This World, for a little sparkle!  I love this polish, thank you Amanda!

And then......wanted to do a jelly sanwich, so I used W&W Beautiful, But Dangerous, and a coat of Summer Lovin on top.

Where Is The Party?

It's Friday ya'll and I'm looking forward to a beach day today!  But before I go, here is a swatch of Essence Where Is The Party?

WITP is a purple to green duochrome.  As soon as I saw this in the store, I HAD to grab it.  Lucky, cuz it was the last one on the shelf.  Are ALL Essence displays completely picked through everytime you see one or is it just mine? 

This polish had so many different looks, no 2 lighting situations were the same.  Sometimes this polish looked all purple, sometimes greyish, sometimes green.  It has a frosty feel to it, so it was a bit streaky.







My Boyfriend Scales Walls

I've got the yummy white polish from the OPI Spiderman collection to show you today.  Thanks Nory-girl!  My Boyfriend Scales Walls is lovely white cream with just the slightest hint of grey, and I swear I see a blue tint, but I can't find anywhere online that agrees with me!

And then for funzies, I added a coat of W&W Light With Caution and a layer of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu from the Ballet Collection to make a jelly sandwich.

Light With Caution is such a pretty glitter.  I love the small iridescent glitter sprinkled in there.

Twinsie Tuesday Crackle

It's crackle polish day at Twinsie Tuesdays!

I am not a huge crackle fan, but I actually really liked the way this looked on my nails.  My pictures, on the other hand, are awful.  I feel like they look like a horror movie.  That's weird.

My base color is NYC Times Square.  On it's own it is a gorgeous jelly/cream, I'll do a post of it on it's own for sure.  Application was amazing, one super easy coat.

The crackle is Maybelline Shredded in Carbon Frost.  I found this formula strange, very watery, it took me a few times to get the crackle to actually work.  You have to have the perfect amount on your brush and be super quick.

Have a peek at the other Twinsie's to see their crackle mani's!

 

Sunny Side Up, Wet and Wild

I wore Sunny Side Up for 4 days without one single chip or even any tip wear!  I'm pretty impressed.  And I got tons of compliments on this bright orange.

Sunny Side Up by Wet and Wild has a cream finish, a bit on the thick side, so application was a little tricky.  A generous top coat made it look less bumpy.

This is with flash



Natural light, this one is the most color accurate.

Artificial light.



Billie Green Meadows

I was so happy to find this Summer neon, but once it was on my nails, I realized that I just cannot rock this look.  It was waaaay too bright for me.

And besides not loving it on me, it was a huge pain in the butt to apply.  This was five layers people!  Re-dic.  I suppose I could have done thicker layers, or maybe layered it over white?  Too late, I'm over it!

  

I do love the white shimmer in it though!

Artificial light

Natural light

Yes all 3 of these pics are the same polish, just different lighting, my camera could not handle this color either!

Are you guys sporting the neon trend?




Twinsie Tuesday, Accent Nail

It's Twinsie Tuesday!

We are rockin an 'accent finger' mani this week, catch is:  it can't be your ring finger! 

I used H & M Summer Coral and for my middle finger, I chose Orly Jealous, Much? And put a coat of Essie As Gold As It Gets over top.

Barry M, Berry

Thanks again to the lovely Nory for sending me my first Barry M polish!  Eeeeee, so excited.  I wore this for a week straight, I couldn't bare to take it off.  I feel like this purple toned pink was the perfect match for my skin tone. 

It's a cream that glides on so smooth like butter!  2 easy coats, and it was shiny enough without a top coat. 

And a few days into this mani I added Finger Paints Motley on top.  This flakey is absolute heaven to look at!





Patriotic Mani, Twinsie Tuesday

We celebrated Canada Day on July 1st, with rain and fireworks! So typical! Haha

Today is my youngest daughters 8th birthday, so Happy Birthday Nalaya!

And happy 4th of July to you Americans tomorrow!

So to show our patriotism to our countries, this week for Twinsie Tuesday we are swatching a patriotic mani!

I used SH Whirlwind White and Essence Glamorous Life.  2 coats of each

Can`t wait to see what the other Twinsie`s came up with!

What's Your Name?

Hello friends!

I've got a beautiful polish to show you today, sent to me by my lovely friend Amanda.  It is Sinful Colors What's Your Name?  And she is a beauty, no?

Isn't that greeny blue shimmer amazing?!  Makes me think of the universe.  In a couple of the bottle shots you can see a shift to pink/purple, but that didn't show up on the nail.



I used 3 thin coats to ensure the coverage I like.  This polish was the perfect consistency for me, so easy to work with.
