new years and nail stamping

hello my nail junkies,
 one of my new years resolutions was to be a better blogger, watermark my pics, be more descriptive of my nail art and what i used and be more opinionated ..so with that being said im planning a post for later in the week about liquid sand nail polish...but until then i have a video of pueen 2013 nail stamping plates to show you.  i have since stamped with them and will be blogging about that as well but at the time the video was just a close up view of the plates! hope you enjoy

been awhile

well havent been posting much lately i tend to just post my pics on my face book...but here are some pics of some of the nail art i have been doing

Butter London Haul & Halo Hues update

So today I have for you the other half of my nail mail... a mini butter london haul.  These are my first butter london polishes so I was super excited to get them.  I got a great deal on them, coterie.com had a deal when they launched their site you got to pick 3 colors from a list of 6 and 1 top coat from a list of 2 (matte or quick dry) all for 36 bucks but for signing up you got a 25 dollar credit and free shipping...so it eneded up only being 11 bucks, how could I pass that up.

I wanted to pick colors that were more for the fall/winter season so this is what I got.

Wallis~ a olive greenish gold almost metallic very strong shimmer

West End Wonderland~ sparkley gold and copper glitter kinda looks like a holo in the bottle it shines so much wonderful for the holidays

All Hail the Queen~ in the bottle it looks like a neutral nude with tones of pink and it has a very fine holo glitter but on the nail it looks like a light fudge brown and the holo shines in the sun.

This is the only color I swatched so far and I really liked it more than I thought I would.  No matter how many pics I took I couldn't capture the holo but its there I promise!!

Now  I have an update on the Color Club Halo Hues collection for you.  The new release date for this collection has been set for Oct 4th on the color club web site.  I don't know when local retailers will start carrying them but I have decided not to wait, I will be making my purchase online as soon as they launch.  I have a feeling these babies are gonna go quick.  

Till next time~ xoxox

layla hologram effect

Hello fellow nail polish junkies, today I have a review of the layla hologram effect nail polishes for you.  Now when I first heard of these (and saw them) I knew I had to make them mine, but at 15 bucks a pop I figured I would never get the chance.  I try not to spend more than 8 bucks a bottle on polish.  But about 2 months a go I was able to get my hands on a bottle for 5 bucks.  sneakpeeq.com had them and with the website discount plus the 10 off for signing up and free shipping I felt like I made a great buy.  My mother-n-law and husband even signed up too and let me use their accounts so I could get 2 more bottles...how awesome are they right!!  So the colors I picked up are

OCEAN RUSH~ bright blue

RED TABOO~ more of a bright pink

MERCURY TWILIGHT~ silver

Now the only color I got a chance to try was the Mercury Twilight and I have to say after all the hype I was kinda dissapointed.  For some reason I thought the bottle would be bigger than this but I was over that pretty quick.  The holo didn't look as strong as I thought it would in the bottle but once it was on the nail it was AWESOME!  However application was a bit tricky, I couldn't  get full coverage and the formula is very thin. I think I ended up with 4 coats.  I did use the buffer/file that they sent with the polish you are supposed to use one side then the other before applying.

It had a wonderful strong holo indoors and out and I loved it and thought that all the trouble with the application was worth it. UNTIL I washed some dishes and then it peeled and chipped off.

 

I had only had it on for about half the day before I did the dishes and my hands weren't in the water long because it was only a few dishes so I was very disappointed when this happened.  I was also thankful I got 3 bottles for the price of what I would have paid for one, because if I would have paid full price I would have been pissed.  It wouldn't have bothered me if I would have gotten a whole day maybe two before it started to  chip but to not even get a whole days worth out of it...if you haven't purchased this polish I would ask you to strongly consider if it is going to be worth your while before you do, how often do you get your hands wet in a day things like that.  This would be a polish I would only use if I needed it for a special occasion since it only lasts a few hours.

Till the next time

Glitter Goblin

So if you read my last post you saw that I talked a little bit about China Glaze Glitter Goblin, well now that  I have actually done a mani with it...OMG...the holo glitter is awesome. Very strong holo  I didn't have to go out into the sun to see it bling blinging!! I think it would look amazing layered over black for a Halloween mani.  So I took a some pics and even did a short video of my hand in motion so you could see the holo sparkle, i just felt like the pictures didn't do it justice so on to the pics and video scroll below.

music is too afraid to love you by the black keys

i had to put something in the video to cover up my dog mack whining in the back ground 

hope you all enjoyed see ya next time, which should be soon because my nail mail came in!!

Glitter Goblin should be releasing in October as part of the China Glaze wicked collection
