China Glaze Drip Marble Nails

 I have a sweet Drip Marble mani to share with you today using all China Glaze polishes.

I'm wearing New Birth on my pinkie and Sweet Hook on my ring finger.  I used those 2 shades as well as That's Shore Bright, Ahoy! and Wildflower Hour for the Drip Marble.  I used some silver leaf foil to finish off the look.

Have a great day loves!

Rosy Glitter Skittle Manicure

Hey Dolls!

I have a rosy glitter skittle mani to share with you today!  I love how soft and romantic it looks.

On my pointer finger I am wearing Joe Fresh Nude, it's such a lovely rose leaning nude.  My middle finger is China Glaze I'm Not Lion which is one of my fave glitters ever!  My ring finger is Essie Urban Jungle and my pinkie is Joe Fresh Rosewood.  And if you are curious, I am wearing Joe Fresh Nude on my thumb.

Hope you all had a Happy Easter.  We were busy doing reno's all weekend to get our house ready to sell!  Exciting times!

Have a great Wednesday lovelies!

China Glaze Seas and Greetings

Heya Dolls!

Happy Friday!  I have the beautiful Seas and Greetings by China Glaze to share with you today.  This is from their Seas and Greetings Winter 2016 Collection.  I am a sucker for any polish that has fine shimmer throughout!  This gorgeous soft, grape cream has the most amazing pink shimmer.

The formula was easy to work with, it built up nicely in 2 coats.

\Have a great weekend lovelies!

China Glaze Dashboard Dreamer Swatch

Hiya Dolls!

I have a China Glaze polish to share with you today.  It is from the Road Trip Collection for Spring 2015 and I picked it up from Winners.  A polish has to be pretty unique to me now in order for me to add it to my collection, so it was the pink shimmer in this one that stole my heart (that shimmer gets me every.dang.time)

Dashboard Dreamer is a whimsical pale blue with the loveliest pink shimmer.  That pretty shimmer only shows up in the sunlight though (true of most polishes with such a fine shimmer).  My indoor lamp didn't really show it off, but I feel like you can kinda tell that it's more than just a cream.  Or am I crazy?

The only time I pick up a China Glaze polish is when I go to Sally's (and I don't get there very often) so I was super happy to see this one at Winners.  I love Winners for random polishes!

Have a great day my loves!

Summer Nails

Hey Dolls!

Summer is in full swing and I was desperately in need of a Summer mani!  My go-to polishes for this season are neons!  They just scream Summer to me...and everyone else I'm sure!

I chose China Glaze Shocking Pink and added a few silver studs (Born Pretty Store) in a triangle formation, which is my fave way to wear them.

What is your fave polish to wear in the Summer?

Have a great day loves!

China Glaze, Violet Vibes

Hey Dolls!

It's been feeling like Summer here in beautiful British Columbia this week, so that means it's time to bust out my bright polishes!

I bought Violet Vibes last Summer, but I don't think I ever wore it!  It is such a gorgeous neon purple.  It has a very 'neon' formula, still a bit streaky after 3 coats, but well worth the effort.

Have a great day Loves!

Revlon Charming Accent Mani

Happy New Year Dolls!

I hope you all had a great time over the Holidays!  I am so excited for 2016!

Starting the year off with Revlon Charming, the loveliest pale lilac cream.  It has a great formula, two easy coats gave perfect opacity.  The glitter is China Glaze I'm Not Lion, I just feel like this glitter goes perfectly with any color.  It really is the perfect 'accent nail glitter' in my book!

Wishing you all the best in 2016.  See you again soon with another mani!

China Glaze I'm Not Lion and Joe Fresh Pink Pearl

Hey Dolls

I have a soft accent mani to share with you today.  I picked up Joe Fresh Pink Pearl a while ago and  kinda forgot about it until now!  It was a new polish for Spring 2015.  Pink Pearl is a very pretty baby pink with lovely pale blue shimmer.  I needed three coats to get the opacity that I like.

I love using China Glaze I'm Not Lion as an accent nail.  I think it adds the perfect touch and the color of the glitter goes with so many polishes.

I hope you are all having a great weekend!

Joe Fresh Rosewood Accent Mani

Hiya Dolls!

I have a quick accent mani to share with you today using Joe Fresh Rosewood and China Glaze I'm Not Lion.  I always love a good accent mani!

Rosewood is a lovely pinkish brown that is perfect for Fall.  Formula is so great, two easy coats for perfect opacity.  China Glaze I'm Not Lion is the perfect glitter for an accent nail, it's nice and flashy!

Thanks for popping by!  Have a great day.

China Glaze Sweet Hook and I'm Not Lion

Hiya Dolls!

I have a quick accent nail mani to share with you today.  The lovely lavender polish is China Glaze Sweet Hook and the accent glitter nail is China Glaze I'm Not Lion.  Both polishes are super easy to work with, I used two easy coats.

China Glaze That's Shore Bright

Hiya Dolls!

My Sally's finally had That's Shore Bright in stock!  I have been wanting this beauty for so long.

The formula was really hard to work with unfortunately.  It definitely had that classic 'neon' formula, streaky and dries matte.  I needed 3 coats and everything looked better once I put my topcoat on.  The other downside to this polish was it chipped.  Like BAD chipped, every single nail. 

Even though this was hard to work with and only lasted 2 days on the nails before it chipped, the color is just sooo amazing that I will totally wear this again and again!

China Glaze Plur-ple

Hey Dolls!

I was so excited to find a few purple polishes that have been on my wish list for a while at Sally's.  I found Creative Fantasy, Plur-ple and Violet-Vibes.

I wore Plur-ple first and loved it!  Formula was fine, two easy coats and top coat.

I think I'll try Creative Fantasy next!  That one has been on my wish list for ages now!

Essie and China Glaze Skittles

Hello Dolls!

How are you all today?  I finally found China Glaze I'm Not Lion, I have been looking for this in stores everywhere!  I decided to use it in a skittle mani with Essie Stones N' Roses and Strut Your Stuff.

I'm Not Lion is THE PERFECT accent-nail polish.  Prepare yourself, you'll be seeing this a lot in my mani's from now on!  Essie Stones N' Roses is the loveliest peachy/pink for Spring and I'm loving the bright pop of blue (Strut Your Stuff).

Pink and Bronze Polka Dots

Hiya Dolls

I've got a sweet little polka dot mani to share with you today.

This lovely soft pink is China Glaze Something Sweet and the polka dots are Joe Fresh Bronze.

I love this color combo and there is just something so sweet about polka dots!

Petal To The Metal, China Glaze

Hiya Dolls!

I needed a bright, pick-me-up mani today!  China Glaze Petal To The Metal was just what I needed.  This neon pinky-coral is so lovely.

Formula was a little thick, but still easy to work with.  Because it is a neon, it dried super fast, which I love.  I added a topcoat to make it shiny.

I added a few studs from Born Pretty Store and a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust.

Soft Skittles

Hey Dolls

Just a quick post today of a soft skittle mani that I'm wearing.  I still love a good skittle mani!  I think this is a good transition mani from Winter to Spring!

The pretty white is China Glaze New Birth.  The dusty pink is Sinful Colors Starfish, and the sparkly cornflower blue is Sinful Colors Violets are Blue.

China Glaze Petal To The Metal

Hey Dolls

I picked up China Glaze Petal To The Metal the other day because it was calling my name!  I didn't realize until I put her on my shelf with my other China Glaze polishes that it's similar to Flip Flop Fantasy.  Definitely more pink than FFF, but apparently I need ALL China Glaze neons!  Haha

That sparkly silver goodness is Sinful Colors Charmed.  Such a gorgeous silver micro glitter with rainbow glitter mixed in.  I love Charmed because it dries smooth without a topcoat.  Of course I use a top coat anyway to prolong the wear and make it super shiny, but I really dislike chunky, gritty glitters.  I used three coats of both polishes for my swatches.

China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le and More

Hey Dolls

 

I've got a few random polishes to show you today.  I picked these up in stores here and there over the last couple weeks.

 

First up is China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le.  I love the shade periwinkle, and while I have a few shades of periwinkle that I like, I feel like this is the perfect one!  Two coats for my swatch.

 

Next is Maybelline Hibiscus Haven.  You know me and my pinks, this one had to come home with me!  Two smooth coats.

 



I love this gorgeous grape color by NYC called Jam & Nap.  This was in a new NYC display at my Walmart. Again, two coats but this dried really quickly so I had to work fast.

 



 

Last but definitely not least is this lovely, new lavender by Sally Hansen called Water Orchid.  I know Sally Hansen has replaced some of their core line and I'm wondering if this is the new Lacey Lilac.  Anyone know?  It's very similar either way.

 



China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

Hiya Dolls

 

I have wanted China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy for a long time now.  I finally purchased it even though I'd heard bad reviews about the formula.  It's definately not the easiest polish to work with, but it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting.  I needed three coats to even it all out.  It dried really quick (I find most neons dry quick) to a satin finish.  I added a topcoat to make it shiny and dent proof.

 

I am so in love with neons, I can't seem to get enough of them!

 





Twinsie Tuesday Re-do Week

Hello Dolls

 

For Twinsie Tuseday we get to choose a past theme to re-do.  Nothing really stuck out for me and I have been in the mood for a good gradient lately, so that's what I've chosen to do.

 

I used Essie Better Together and China Glaze Shocking Pink.  These were kind of hard to work with and I had to do about 5 layers with the sponge.
