Pick Of The Glitter Gradient

 Hiya Dolls!

 

I had such a great time at the Pink concert the other night, she rocked it big time!  Her tour was sponsored by Cover Girl, so they were giving away free mascaras AND they had a manicure booth!  I had already done my nails for the night, but my friend got hers painted.  They had 3 shades of pink, so cute :)

 

I did this mani a few weeks ago.  I used Finger Paints Gossamer White and I did a glitter gradient using Nicole by OPI Pick Of The Glitter which was a bday present from my sis-in-law.

 

 

Twinsie Tuesday Oldest Untried Polish

Hiya peeps,

 

For Twinsie Tuesday this week we are finally getting to use that dusty old 'untried' polish at the back of our drawers.  I'm pretty good about swatching all the polishes I buy right away, but every once in a while, one of them gets shoved to the back of the shelf and forgotten.. Which is what happened in the case of Nicole OPI My Empire...My Rules.

 

My Empire...My Rules is a brown cream.  In the bottle it looks like it might have grey undertones, but against my skin, there were definate green undertones.  Formula was fantastic, two thin coats for even coverage.

Twinsie Tuesday Nationality

Hiya Dolls

 

Twinsie Tuesday is here again!  We are showing our Nationalities this week.  My parents are both British and Irish.  I was not about to attempt any flag nail art, so I just stuck with the British flag colors, and for my Irish heritage I free handed a little clover leaf.  It looked much cuter in person!

 

 

The white polish is Wet n Wild White.  The blue is Zoya Song, such a pretty blue!  The red is OPI Nicole Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi.  And the green clover is OPI Nicole One Time Lime.

 

Be sure to check out the other Twinsie's!

Twinsie Tuesday Fruit Mani

Hello hello!

 

It's Wednesday, but I'm posting my Twinsie Tuesday mani today because we were on our way home from California yesturday!  We had a great time in Disneyland, so warm and fun.

 

This week's prompt was inspired by fruit.  I chose to do an apple mani.  I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as the base color, and Nicole Kourt Is Ready For A Pedi as the red apple and Nicole One Time Lime for the leaves.  I just used my dotting tool to add the fruit accents.

Sticks and Stones by Cover Bands Lacquers

Hello hello

 

I love that at first glance, my ring finger looks reminds me of cows! Haha

 

My base coat is Finger Paint's Gossamer White again because I love it so much right now!  On my pointer I'm wearing Wear Something Spar-Kylie by Nicole by OPI.  On my ring finger I'm wearing Sticks and Stones by Cover Band Lacquers.  I love this polish so much!  And on my pinky I have Shine On Crazy Diamond by Orly, which is such a pretty little topcoat.

 

Kourt Is Ready For a Pedi, Nicole OPI

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

I think Kourt Is Ready For a Pedi is a great polish to show off for Valentine's Day.  I love Nicole by OPI, and I love the Kardashian's!  Kourtney is def my fave Kardashian.  I have wanted Kourt Is Ready For a Pedi for a long time now, so when I saw it went on sale for $5.00 I had to get it!  (They are regularly $10-12.00 in Canada).

 

KIRFAP (lets abreve it shall we?) is a bright orange leaning red that is a crelly (creme-jelly mix).  For my pictures I used 3 very thin coats.  There was some visible nail line, but I don't mind that too much.

 

I hope your Valentine's Day is full of love!

 





Twinsie Tuesday Black and White

Hello hello,

 

It's black and white day today at Twinsie Tuesday!  I went pretty simple with my mani, using China Glaze Haunting as my black, and Nicole by OPI  It's All About The Glam for my white.

 

Haunting has beautiful silver glitter in a black base.  Two coats made this perfectly opaque.  It's All About The Glam on the other hand, took four coats to build up opacity!  I don't mind though because it is such a lovely shimmery white, it is so worth it!

Twinsie Tuesday, Color Block Mani

Welcome to Twinsie Tuesday!

 

We are all showing you and Color Block mani today, and I'd love to know who came up with this idea!  JK.  Not really.

 

Here is my less than spectacular attempt.  I should have googled some ideas first. 

 

My pointer finger reminds me of Braveheart.

 

 

The lovely shimmery pink is Kim-pletely In Love.  Swatch of that coming soon, so stay tuned.  And the blue is Revlon Dreamer.  They are two lovely colors that I ruined by putting together.  Swatches on their own will make you love them, I promise!

Twinsie Tuesday Floral

Hello friends, welcome to Twinsie Tuesday!  We are showing off a Floral mani this week.  I tried some free hand flowers. 

My basecoat is It's All About the Glam by NOPI The Kardashian Collection, which I got for my birthday, and I am in love with, btw.



I used Lilacism by Essie (another bday pressie) for the light purple roses, and Night Before by Rimmel for the dark purple accents.  Mint Apply by Sinful Colors is the leaves.



Have a peek at the other Twinsie Girls to see their floral mani's:

Twinsie Tuesday Discontinued Polish

Hiya friends and welcome to another edition of Twinsie Tuesday!

Today we are swatching discontinued polishes.  I had a few limited edition polishes, but I had turned those into frankens, so I'm totes cheating here and someone call me out on it if you know different than me!  I'm guessing that my 2 polishes are discontinued, cuz I haven't seen them around in awhile!

I used Avon Cotton Candy for the base, and Nicole for OPI Gold Texture which is the crackle. 

So am I wrong? haha

OK, check out the other looovely ladies who participate in Twinsie Tuesday's...

You're an Angel

Aloha!  (I'm really missing Hawaii)

This pretty sparkly pink is You're an Angel by Nicole, OPI.  And I really wanted to love this one.  But it just doesn't look good on me.  It looks great on my 8 year old though!

This is 3 good coats, it was pretty sheer.  Maybe it'll just be a layering polish.



This is under a lamp.



This one shows the pretty gold shimmer.

And here is the display that held my Whimsical polish.  I really should have bought 2.  Maybe I'll go back and get that one that is at the bottom right, do you see it there?

Look at all those lovely new polishes!
