NFU OH 52 and Poison Ivy

Hi Guys,  After admiring Wet n Wild Poison Ivy for a few hours I was ready to layer it with something.  I decided to pull out my NFU OH 52 and boy I'm glad I did.  If you don't own any NFU OH's you are missing out.  If you get one I say you need NFU OH 52. 

I love love NFU OH bottles they are soooo...lady like.  I layered on one coat.  You can't see it on my nails but the base is a purple shimmer.  It also has emerald green shimmer with green flakies.  The colors shifts from green to blue.  Amazing formula!  Can I paint the whole town with this? *-*

 

 

I purchased my NFU OH's from fabuloustreet.com

Also they can be purchased at nailpolishcanada.com and of course nfuoh.com 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Essie Power Clutch and Wet n Wild The Star of the Show

Hi Everyone,

I'm having that feeling like I don't know what to wear because I have too many choices.  I grabbed a couple of polishes and went to work...

 

I forgot to take a picture of Essie Power Clutch alone.  It's a dark grayed out green creme.  Looks more gray on my nails.  The formula is thin but was easy to apply.  I used three coats.

 

 

I just purchased Wet n Wild The Star of the Show and was anxious to put it on so I layered on one coat.  I had to fish out the stars and barely got any of the confetti holographic strings on my nails.  These glitters are in a thick clear jelly base.

 

It's nothing to go and brag about but it's doable.  What do you guys think?

 

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Emerald named as Pantone’s colour for 2013

Good Morning everyone,  I'm sure you have heard by now that Emerald green is the colour for 2013.  Are you excited?  Do you like Green?  Well, green is another of my favorites to wear.   I  went through my stash and pulled out some of my shades of green. 

Brace yourself. Lol!

For this occasion I applied China Glaze Emerald Sparkle.  I believe it debut sometime in 2008. 

 

A deep emerald green base with tons of fine bright green glitter.  The emerald sparkles are so vibrant. 

 

 

 

This applied so well.  For the photos I applied three coats but could have gotten away with two coats.

 

 

Are you curious of what's in store for 2013 amongst all the polish brands?  Oh, and what about the Indie Brands.  Time will tell 2013 is just around the corner.

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Together With Lines And Cracks

Hi Guys,  It's Friday and the weekend is almost here.  I 'm still playing with my crackle polishes and  I love the fact that they make wonderful backgrounds and they give the look of  texture to any nail art design. 

Here is Pure Ice Silver Mercedes and topped with crackle polish Pure Ice Shattered.  I like the combo silver and green and with the added white and black stripes it pops.

I left my ring finger as an accent giving the design dimension.

 

I'm pretty pleased with this look.  What are your thoughts? 

 

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Caught In Candy Design

Hi Guys,  I have another simple abstract nail design to share with you.  My base is Nail The B.Y.T.C.H Caught In Candy,  I love this greenish teal shade.

 

 

I started the design with black starting in the corner striping toward my cuticles.  Then made white dots along the stripe.

 

 

 

My plan was to make gradient dots along the stripe but it didn't happen.  I seem to always run out of paint making the dots messy looking.  Oh, well I just have to keep trying but I'm still pleased with the results.

 

What are your thoughts? 

 

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Can't See The Forest For The Trees

Hello Everyone,

I'm finally feeling the crisp cool air in the mornings it doesn't last all day but I won't complain I'll take what I can get. Much better then 90 degree weather that's for sure!  Yesterday, I showed you my plastic wrap manicure stamped with leaves.  Well, today I'll show you what it looks like before the stamping.  I'm liking this color combo.

Items Used:

Base:  Hard Candy Mushroom
Green: China Glaze Paper Chasing
Light Brown: Rimmel Milk Chocolate 

This time I didn't use regular saran wrap.  I saved all my blue plastic wrap that I pulled off the Cheeky stamping plate set.  Since the plastic is much sturdier then regular saran wrap it gave the design sharper detailed lines if that makes sense which I like.

 

 

I applied 2 coats of  Mushroom let dry, dabbed on Milk Chocolate let dry, and lastly dabbed on Paper Chasing.  I just love the way the green shimmer sparkles.

 

Next day I stamped on some subtle leaves using Cheeky plate CH33 and stamped with Sinful Colors Super Nova from the Metallic Collection.  

It reminds me of the forest.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

 

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Throwback Thursdays...Autumn Scene

Hi Everyone,  Sorry I didn't post anything the last few days and it's not like I didn't try.   Have you ever had one of those day(s) that you couldn't pick a color or didn't have any ideas and when you finally had an idea it just didn't work out.  You know what I'm talking about.  I hate when this happens to me because for just a second...just a second  I wanted to quit blogging!  I can't let that happen because I have too many polishes to share with you guys. Lol!

Even though I live in sunny Florida I'm ready for autumn. Of course I have to look at pictures to see the beautiful autumn scenes of colored leaves.  Sally Hansens New Lengths Amber Beads Creme, it's a beautiful rusty brown with golden shimmer.  It applied wonderfully in 2 coats.☺

 

You can see the golden shimmer here 

 

I just had to mimic the autumn scene using the cling wrap technique.  I want to thank whomever discovered this method.  It was super easy to do and I will be doing it again.

I love the shimmer in the green

 

Items Used:  Base, SH NL Amber Beads Creme

Yellow: Zoya Creamy

Green: China Glaze Paper Chasing

Topcoat: Seche Vite

 

I'm so happy with my autumn scene mani, I was thinking about stamping some leaves over it.  Should I?  I bought SH NL Amber Beads Creme a few years ago at Dollar Tree.  It's still available on ebay.

 

 

 

 Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Avon Calling: Jade...Minty Green

I thought it was about time for me to pull out one of my Avon polishes since they were calling me.  I grabbed Avon nailwear pro Jade.  It's such a lovely minty green and it cheers me up.

not color accurate it has more yellow in it

The formula is thin I got some bald spots with the first coat. I thought it was going to be a pain to apply but surprisingly it took 2 coats to cover well.  I love this green, I think I own every brand in this shade of minty green along with Chanel's Jade which I still haven't used yet.

 

 

 

 

I haven't done any nailart seems like forever.  Here are some wispy flowers that I painted on my ring and index fingers.

 

 

 

Remember the old Avon Ads? These ladies are classy.

 

 

 

 Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)
