Matte Lippmann Glitter in The Air & China Glaze Empowerment

Happy Pink day! ;-) I can't believe it's already Wed! I've been slacking this week....sorry about that! I'm not sure why, as I have so many manis. to show you. Today's mani is of course, pink. I used Lippmann Glitter in The Air and China Glaze Empowerment. I know I've shown you both of these before, but not together. :-) Last time GITA was over a blue and Empowerment was worn on it's own. I quite like them together. ;-)

I started out with two coats of China Glaze Empowerment, which was part of the 2010 breast cancer collection. It's a med. pink cream. Application was great. I then added Lippmann Glitter in the Air. I LOVE this polish, but it's kind of a pain to work with. You really have to fish to get the glitter out. I ended up using three coats of it. I added a coat of Essie Matte About You, and I was done. :-)

The first three pics. are with the Matte top coat.







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





Do you like it with or without the matte top coat best? As always, thanks for looking, and have a great day! :-)

Party Nails with Frankens by Jaybird!

Good morning! I don't have a lot of time, but wanted to get this up. I have to go to the vet in about 30 min. I'm taking my two dogs in for their yearly shots and blood work. I nervous! Is that silly?! They are my babies, and I just want/hope everything comes back normal. *sigh* I hate being nervous!!

This is my birthday week (Thurs.) and I decided to do party nails all week. Something new everyday. :-) Well, minus yesterday. I just did a regular color. Starting today though, I will have party nails! ;-)

I decided to do a skittles mani. with frankens that I got from jaybird. They all have glitter in them, so they are perfect. :-) You can find jaybird's nail blog at http://polishedpirate.blogspot.com/ and her sale blog at http://polishedpiratesblogsale.blogspot.com/ You should check her out, she has really great polishes. I love them!

The polishes I used are Blue Me, a pale blue with different colored hex glitter. Purple Herple, a medium colored purple with different colored hex glitter. In the Pink, a medium colored pink shimmer with different colored hex glitter. Last but not least, Green Within Me, a grass green shimmer with different colored hex glitter. All applied wonderfully and I used three coats of each.









Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a great day! :-)

Swatches of the new Revlon Summer 2011 Collection.

Yay!! It's Friday! :-) I meant to post this review yesterday, but time just got away from me. I have the new Revlon summer collection to show you today. There are three colors. Tangerine, a great summer orange with gold shimmer. Blue Lagoon, a pale blue with silver shimmer, and my fav. of the bunch. The third one is Sunshine Sparkle, I want to say, it has glass flecks in it.

I really love the colors with my fav. being Blue Lagoon, followed by Tangerine, and then Sunshine Sparkle. The application is another story. I think Revlon polish hates me for some reason. I almost always get bubbles with Revlon. I did BL twice because of bubbles. Blue Lagoon and Sunshine Sparkle were pretty streaky. Tangerine def. applied the best of the three. I used three coats on all of them.

Lippmann Glitter in The Air!

Good morning! How has your week been? Mine has been okay, but I am SO ready for a vacation! lol! We have had the oddest weather this winter. For example last week, it was freezing,snowing and icing. In the same week, that cleared up, and it was 50. Then we had thunderstorms. Now this week it's been as high as 70 but we are supposed to get snow again. Ugh.

Today I have Lippmann Glitter in The Air to show you. I absolutely LOVE this polish. I've wanted it since I saw the first bottle pics. months ago. So when it came out, I ordered it right away. It reminds me of cotton candy. :-) In the bottle, Glitter in The Air looks like it has a light blue base. Once on the nail though, it's more of a milky color. It has hex size pink and baby blue glitter, with small size silver glitter through out. Since it's pretty sheer, I layered it over Hard Candy Sky. It was kind of a pain to get the glitter out, but so worth it. Normally I would have gotten annoyed with a polish like this, but this one is just too great to not love it...flaws and all. ;-)

I used three coats of GitA over two coats of Hard Candy Sky.



You should click on this second pic. it's my fav. and it really shows a true pic. of what GitA looks like outside in the light. ;-)
