Lazy Day Manicure

Ok, I'm thinking of making this lazy day manicure into a weekly segment! Each week I'll take the manicure from the day before and try to 're-use' it. So yesterday I did a review for Lacquer Lust Snow Flurries. I spiced it up today with a little glitter from Lush Lacquer. I love my polishes from Lush Lacquer!!

First up is Winter Blues. This is a white and blue glitter with iridescent glitter scattered throughout. I think this is a classic Christmas combo. I used two coats because I wanted more coverage. 

Next is Ho-Ho-Holidays. Another classic combo featuring different sized red, white and green glitter. I think next time I might layer this over a silver so the white can pop out better. 

 Lush Lacquer polishes are like glitter bombs waiting to explode. The bottles pack the heat....I mean glitter:) They are not hard to work with but I always try and take my time so the glitter is perfectly placed. 

Hope you guys have wonderful Christmas!!

Until next time,

More Of The New Pretty and Polished

I have a couple more Pretty and Polished for you today: Xmas Wreath and Pretty as a Peacock. 

Xmas Wreath is a dark green polish with red, green and holo glitter. It's pretty, it's festive but not my favorite P&P I own. Maybe it's because there are so many holiday polishes out right now. Formula-wise it was a breeze. I did two coats and topped it with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. 

Ok, now Pretty as a Peacock is drop dead gorgeous. It's one of those polishes that looks better on nails than in the bottle. Peacock is an emerald green base with blue, teal, purple and green glitter. The formula was also perfect. The swatch is two coats topped with SH Inst-Dru. It seems that this color combo is popular right  now (well peacock colors in general). 

Until next time,

Darling Diva Polish: A Christmas Story

I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner! It came up so fast. And boy do I have a butt load of Christmas polishes I need to swatch! There is no rhyme or reason to how I choose the polish I will wear  everyday. The stuff is scattered all over my house: in my room, on the coffee table, kitchen, husbands office, etc, oh and yes even the bathroom. 

Any who, below we have Darling Diva Polish: A Christmas Story. Yes it is named after the movie about a young boy wanting his RED RYDER BB GUN!!

It's a pretty sweet polish containing both red and holographic green microglitters. It's pretty much the epitome of Christmas. I decided to not layer this over anything, so what you see is 3 coats. It dried fast and slightly dull/gritty, but with a good topcoat that was not an issue. I used China Glaze Fast Forward. Now I do want to warn you that this polish is a thick SOB!! But Miss DDP does warn you in the description at her store. She does not cut her base. This way you can adjust it to your comfort level. Well before I did that I wanted to try it straight up. It was worth the work!

I bought this during her awesome Black Friday deal and received it in record time (I bought way way too much polish on Black Friday btw!). Go check her store out on Etsy here and for updates check out her FB page here.

Whimsical Idea's By Pam: Seuss

Another Whimsical Idea's By Pam. Today it's Seuss, a light to medium blue with silver and red glitter. I'm pretty sure it's a tribute to Dr. Seuss. The colors would definitely go along with ones you would see in his books.

It's another great polish! I used two coats and topped it with China Glaze Fast Forward.

Pretty and Polished Phoenix

Do you ever buy a polish and it looks just 'okay' in the bottle. This happened with me and Pretty and Polished Phoenix. Now it looks pretty in the bottle but damn! It looks awesome on the nails!! Blew my freakin' mind. Phoenix has an orange tint with small yellow, orange, and red glitters. Floating throughout you'll also see red hexagonal glitter. 

I did two layers over China Glaze Riveting (which is great also and I need to wear it alone so I can do a proper review). 

Up Close and Personal

Pretty and Polished has yet to let me down! Chels does great work. You can check her store out on Etsy here. Currently she is out of stock but follow her on FB for updates.

China Glaze Flying Dragon

Flying Dragon came out in 2008 in the INK collection. It is a deep purple with red and blue glitter. It dries very fast but it dries matte. I used Poshe topcoat which gave it some shine.

Look at that baby sparkle!! I've really been into glitters lately (even though they are so freakin' hard to remove). I'm about 3/4 way of my nail bed growing out from my acrylics. So I still have some dents and dips. Some polishes, like cream finish, makes them show more. Glitter hides them well. So close!!

Focus Brand: Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers

I feel like every polish company has come out with something like this. Ruby Red is a black base with chunky/hexagonal/round glitter. I only needed two coats to be opaque. This first picture really shows the glitter well. I really love this because of the chunky glitter.

With Flash

In the next picture you can see the black base very well.

Again, sorry I was MIA. I was trying to let my nails breath and tried some growing serum. I can tell where the healthy part starts!! I'm getting excited!

China Glaze Lubu Heels is a black base with fine, red glitter. It's a great color that I have reached for multiple times. I used three coats and topped with SV. 
 

This color is based on the awesome shoes by Christian Louboutin.

Nails From The Past Few Days...

The first color I have here is Baptiste from Illamasqua. It is a deep royal purple with a shimmer finish. I like this purple but I feel like I have many purples that look like this in my collection. One thing about Illamasqua is that I don't think it is 3 free like most polishes today. Honestly....I don't really care.

The next color is Reva by Zoya. It just recently came out in their Sunshine collection for the summer. I must say this is a great summer color. It can be described as a cool toned strawberry red with glowing golden metallic sparkle. I don't own much in the red/pink family but I did enjoy this color. I think the sparkle in it helped. It still seemed a little 'bam!' to me.

Is there anything specific you guys would like to see? Just let me know!!

Ewww....

Ok, first this manicure I did sucks!! I used China Glaze Flyin' High and Models Own Turkish Delight on my pointer finger. I was really tired when I did this. I didn't do anything with my cuticles and they are so dry that I need to manage them every day. If you look closely at my pinky I scuffed it a little bit and I totally smeared my thumb. I usually love China Glaze but this color was bad. I used two coats of each color and topped it with Seche Vite. Flyin' High is really thick and hard to work with. It is a great color though. If anyone is reading this, would it help to use nail polish thinner? Turkish Delight went on great. I posted this because I did want to show off both colors.

And finally for your guys' opinion. How are my pictures? Any tips to improve? I like feedback!!

Happy Halloween

This is my mani that I decided to do for Halloween weekend. I was thinking Dexter-ish, blood splatter. I used Sinful colors Snow Me White and Sugar Sugar. Super easy, especially since I didn't have a lot of time to do it. Just a couple drops of the red and a toothpick and ta da!
