Multi Shapes Glitter Mani.

Good evening! Have you had a good weekend? Mine was pretty good. Yesterday, hubby took me to Dave and Buster's for my birthday. I had never been before, and had a great time. :-) I've pretty much done nothing today, and it's been quite nice. ;-)

The mani. I'm showing you tonight is the one I wore yesterday to D&B's. I used seven different polishes. I started out with one thick coat of Essie Marshmallow, a squishy white. I then added one coat of Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada, a multi colored/sized, glitter. Next, I used one coat of Love My Nails, All That, a purple,blue, and silver square glitter in a clear base. Then Sally Hansen In The Spotlight, a hologram bar glitter. After that, I added a few colored stars from Dear Laura pa AA03. Next, I added one coat of Love My Nails Pot O' Gold, diamond shaped glitter with regular gold glitter. Finally, I added a coat of Essie Matte About You, and I was done! I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I ended up loving it! It was not thick at all for using so many polishes, which is what I was worried about.

First two pics. are with the matte top coat.

The next two pics. are without the matte top coat.

Party Nails Part 2 and Pink Wed.

Hey guys! How are you doing today? I'm driving myself CRAZY waiting on the vet's office to call me back with test results for both of my dogs. My regular vet (whom I love) isn't in today. So, one other the others is supposed to call me. I called around noon to see if the results were in yet, and they are. That was over three hours ago, and here I sit. Still waiting. I have to say, I'm a little annoyed. How hard is it to pick up the phone and call someone for 5 min?! My regular vet would have called me right away. Grr...I'm trying to stop myself from calling again. I'm just being impatient. I hate waiting on test results!

Anyway, now that I have that off my chest, lets get to my nails. After all, that's why you guys follow me. Sorry for the rant. ;-)

I have quite a few pics. to show you today. As I said in my last post, my birthday is tomorrow, and I decided to do "party nails" all week long. I'm only on my second mani. so I have a few more to go still. :-) Since it's Wed. I of course, had to add pink to the line up.

I started off using two coats of Essie French Affair from the spring collection. It's a pale pink. Application was a bit streaky, but ended up okay. I then added two coats of Ulta's Pinata-Yada-Yada which is a mixture of different sizes, and colors of glitter. Then I added a coat of Wet 'n Wild Fantasy Makers in rainbow bar glitter. It's named Black Magic which I think is an odd name from rainbow glitter. I didn't stop there. I decided to see what it would look like matte, so I added a coat of Essie Matte About You. Finally, I was done! lol!

Here's what it looks like with everything matted....You pretty much need to click on the pics. to really see what these manis. look like. I don't know why they didn't show up better. :-/





Here it is without the matte.







I know this is a dark pic. but I like how the glitter looks. If you click on it, you'll see what I mean. It looks like it's glowing. ;-)



Close Up.



The next two pics. are with just the Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada on top.





Last but not least, here is Essie French Affair on it's own.





Whew! That was quite a few pics. So, which mani. do you like the best?

Good news....the vet finally called, and for the most part, everything is okay. I feel exhausted from the wait! I need to get out of the house for awhile now. Think I'll run to Ulta and see if I can find any new polishes. ;-)

Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada over WnW Black.

Good morning! Today, I have a mani. to show you, that I had on for a few days last week. I loved it so much, I couldn't change it the next day. It's Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada over Wet 'n Wild Black. PYY is a multi colored glitter in a clear base. The black base really made it stand out. I also added a coat of Essie's Matte About You on top. You'll have to tell me which version you like best. I had a hard time deciding. I really liked both versions. :-)

First up are the pics. of it matted.







Pics. without the matte top coat.








So....which do you like better? With or without the matte topcoat? Thanks for looking, and have a great day! :-)

St. Patrick's Day Mani. and Green Spam Part Two!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I hope you are wearing your green today! ;-) I have the second part of my green spam to show you today. Since this is going to be kinda long again, I'm going to get right to it.

To start off with, here is my actual St. Patrick's Day mani. I used Sinful Colors Irish Green as the base,Ulta's Pinata-Yada-Yada on my ring finger and Nicole by Opi Twist of Fate on my pinky finger. On my middle finger I used stickers that I found at Sally's Beauty.





Sinful Colors Irish Green. IG is a very bright jelly green. Almost neon, but not quite. It is VERY sheer. I had to use five coats to get it to look like it does in the pics. and I could still see my nail line. It's a really pretty color. I just wish it wasn't so sheer.





The next mani. is one I also did today. It's pretty similar to the first one, but I just wasn't feeling it. It's okay. I used China Glaze Four Leaf Clover as the base,Amour Rain Glitter on my ring finer,Milani Gold hex on my pinky and sally's sticker on my middle finger.





Next up is Nars Zulu. Zulu is a deep forest jelly green. I used three coats, and application was pretty good. A little streaky, but with a color this awesome that's okay. ;-)





Zulu with Sinful Colors Call You Later on top. Call You Later is a mixture of different sizes of green glitter. It also has some gold glitter in it as well.







Close up...



Nubar Reclaim. I posted this a few posts back, so you can see it there for a review. I'll just say, its one awesome polish!! :-)





BB Couture Frosty Meadow. FM is a green jelly with silver and green glitter. Application was wonderful and this is two coats. This is another one of my fav. green polishes. It's pretty near perfect! :-)







Close up....



China Glaze Sour Apple. SA is bright green jelly, with lots of green,yellow and silver glitter. It reminds me of those Apple suckers that come out around Halloween. Or maybe the color of an apple jolly rancher. The formula was a bit thick, but nothing too bad I used three coats.





Close up...



Here is Sour Apple with Sinful Colors Green Ocean. Green Ocean is a clearish green base with flakies. It is a really pretty polish, but you have to work with it. It's VERY thick, and the flakies tend to want to stick out on the nail. I didn't have to much patience this time, so I ended up taking it off. This is with two coats of GO.



Whew!!! That was quite a few pics. I apologize if it seems like I flew this this entry. I'm kinda in a hurry to meet some friends, and I feel like I've been doing nail related things all day long! LOL! If you have any questions about any of the polishes I posted, feel free to let me know.

I hope you have a wonderful evening! I'll leave you with some yummy cupcakes! ;-)

Del Sol Trick or Treat,$OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It,Krack Polish and other Halloween Swatches.

Hey guys, I'm back again. :-) See my last blog below, for pics. of my Halloween stash. I'm back with a few swatches of them. These manis. are from this past week. I'm playing catch up tonight.

First up is OPI by Sephora If You've Got It, Haunt It. It's a chunky black glitter. It also has some silver and blue glitter through out. No problems with application, and I used two coats.





This one is one of the pumpkin polishes from Blue Cross. It's a fuschia base with chunky silver glitter. I used three coats.





Another pumpkin polish. This time I used the black. I just love these little guys!
:-) I do believe this just might be my fav. black cream. It was flawless and it applied like a dream! I really only needed one coat, but I used two out of habit.





Here it is with Wet n' Wilds Fantasy Maker Black Magic. This is from last year, and it's a rainbow bar glitter. I don't quite get the name, but I do love this polish!







The cute bottle...love it! :-)



Ulta Green With Envy is a black base with green shimmer. It was a bit messy to apply, and I used three coats.





Here it is with Pure Ice Heartbreaker over top. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this top coat! I think everyone needs it! ;-)







One more of the pumpkin polishes. This time it's the neon purple one. As with all of these polishes I've used so far, application was great.



With black glitter by Nicole.



This next one, I call my Krack polish fail! LOL! Even though I was warned that the KP from Transdesign didn't work that great, I had to try it for myself. I got the green one to try. It looks like slime! It reminds me of the slime I used to get our of the 25 cent machines when I was a kid. lol! I guess that makes it ok for Halloween. I used a white polish for the base, and then I put the Krack polish on. Here's how it turned out...





Yeah, not so great huh?! lol...Needless to say, it didn't stay on!

Which brings me to my last polish of the week, and the one I'm currently wearing.

Del Sol Trick or Treat. This polish is amazing!!! Such an awesome color. It's an orange,bronze and lime green glitter inside. Outside in the sun it turns to a glitterly dark purple. I used four coats, but it was no biggie since it dried super fast.

Inside...





Changing colors







Changed all the way to it's outside color.

Whew! That was a long post. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do for my Halloween Mani. I'm going to keep it simple, just not sure what I'm going to use yet. Do you know what your Halloween mani is going to be?

Well, I'm off to bed....I'm worn out! It's been a long week! Good night all! :-)
