Peach and Glitter

Hey Dolls

 

When I saw V-AIR-Y SPARKLY by A.co I knew right away that I wanted to pair it with a peach polish.  Orly Prelude To A Kiss was the perfect peach.  I love how it turned out.  I wouldn't normally think of peach for Fall or Winter, but somehow with the gold, it works.

 

V-AIR-Y SPARKLY has large white and gold hex glitter, small white glitter and small white bars.  I think it is just so fun and festive.

 

What other colors do you think I should wear with V-AIR-Y SPARKLY?

 





Orly Androgynie

Hey Dolls!

 

I can't believe I've had Orly Androgynie sitting on my untried shelf for long.  This polish is so gorgeous.  There are blue, green and orange hex glitters along with gold flakies and tiny holo glitters in a soft black base.

 

 

Do you guys have Androgynie and love it like me?

 





Pink Week Breast Cancer Awareness Day 4

Hey Dolls

 

Day 4 four of our Pink Mani Week for Breast Cancer Awareness. 

 

I haven't worn Revlon Popular in a long time, I forgot how much I LOVE this polish!  This is 3 thin coats of Popular.

 

 

Fact 4:

 

 





Pink Week, Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey Dolls

 

This is day two of our Pink Mani Week for Breast Cancer Awareness.

 

 

This is Essie Secret Story, my absolute favorite pink jelly polish.  This is three thin coats of Secret Story, with OPI Pirouette My Whistle on the tips.

 

 

Fact number two:

 

Even though this fact is really scary, there is hope!  Early detection is key, more about this to come in the next few days.

 





Twinsie Tuesday

Hiya Dolls!

 

Today for Twinsie Tuesday everyone is posting their astrology sign mani.  I'm not down with astrology, so I'm just sharing a pretty swatch with ya.  This little gem is Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Baby Blue/Hot Pink.  It has pink and holographic hex glitter with micro purple glitter suspended in a milky blue base. 

 

I needed 4 coats to get the opacity I like (I just lost all of you didn't I?).  My nails are pretty stained from all the polish I wear, so I needed 4 coats to cover that.  Using an opaque light blue base first would cut down on the amount of layers I need.

 

Take a peek at the other Twinsie's blogs to see their mani's this week:

Revlon Girly

Hiya Dolls

 

I've had these swatches of Revlon Girly for ages now (look how pale my fingers were).  Finally sharing it, better late than never!

 

 

Girly has peach, pink and purple multi-sized glitters in a milky, jelly pink base.  I used 3 thin coats here.

 

Did any of you girlies pick up Girly?!





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.

Jelly Sandwich, Essie and W&W

Mmmmmm, I love jelly sandwiches!

I used the beautiful Secret Story by Essie as my jelly base, and Beautiful, But Dangerous by Wet and Wild for my glitter.  Another coat of SS on top and I loooooved this sandwich!

Beautiful, But Dangerous is a super fun glitter.  It has blue, gold, black and pink small hexes.  Obviously, the pink ones kinda disappeared in this mani.  I'd like to try this in a white jelly.



Revlon Popular aka Starry Pink Twinsie Tuesday

Holla!  It's Twinsie Tuesday!

I'm so excited for this week's Twinsie post!  We are swatching our favorite BRAND of polish.  This was very easy for me, REVLON all the way!  While there are some other polishes that I love (Essie, Orly, OPI, Butter London...oh should I stop now?) it's Revlon that I keep going back to.

I love Revlon's formula and colors, and their price point.  And I absolutely LOVE that they make dupes of more expensive brands. 

For my swatch, I used Popular aka Starry Pink.  It's a favorite.

Check out the other la la lovely Twinsie's :)

Billie Anxiety

Yay for Friday!

I lurrrrve this glitter, but really dislike it's name.  Seriously, what's up with that name?  Anxiety?

Anyhoo, "Anxiety" has loads of fun glitter in a green jelly base.  It has silver, gold, purple, blue and a lot of different greens in there.  This was 2 coats, and I put it over top of Sinful Colors Mint Apple that I wore the other day.

For a bit more fun, I added some NYX Prismatic Gold to the tips.  I love those holo gold hex's!

Claire's Candy Shop

Hello Luvlies...

I passed up Claire's Candy Shop a few times lately, wondering if I was over the look.  But the other day, I just had to pick it up, and I'm glad I did.  This polish is sooo jam packed with glitter it's nuts!

A definate dupe to Deborah Lippman (even the name, which is weird).  I love the milky pink base so much, that I wish I could find it without the glitter!

Do you guys own Candy Shop?  DL or Claires?!





Gem Crush, Lady Luck

As soon as I saw the SH Gem Crush swatches all over the place, I knew I had to have them.  So the first one I've bought is Lady Luck. 

It dries super dull and gritty (boooo) but 2 generous coats of SV made it ultra smooth and shiny.  Yay for SV, I don't know what I did without it.  Well I do... I smudged all my mani's and had dull polish!



Revlon Fire Fox

Revlon Fire Fox is a super pretty reddish coral that is supposed to be a matte polish.  While it's definately not a gloss finish, there is a sheen to it.  I played around a bit with Essie Matte about You, a shiny top coat, some glitter and a coat of SV.

Here is Fire Fox on it's own:

Here it is with  a coat of Essie Matte About You



 Here it is with a glossy top coat of Wet and Wild

I love how this brings out the lovely glowy glitter in Fire Fox



And with a bit of Milani Gold Glitz on the tips, and SV.



So let's see, this is 7 coats of polish!  It was fun :)



Black Sheep

I made this franken yesturday using W&W Black Cream, a bit of Rimmel Vintage, some clear and a few hex glitters.   It ended up a bit more shimmery than I had wanted, but I still really like it.
