China Glaze 'TTYL'

Hello Ladies! Tonight, I have China Glaze 'TTYL' from the OMG holographic collection. The polishes from this collection are considered htf (hard to find) and range from say $12-$35 on eBay or wherever you can find them. This color looks like smooth silk indoors but outside the fine holographic effect blinds you! On to the photos!...

*Layering Post* with Sally Hansen's 'Glass Slipper'

Hello Ladies, Today, I have an interesting layering experiment with Cult Nails 'Power Thief' and Sally Hansen's 'Glass Slipper'. It will be a pretty quick post today (sorry, been very busy) so on with the pictures! Needless to say, in the U.S. you guys can find this new Sally Hansen polish at any drugstore. And the lovely Cult Nails polishes can be found on their website here. Also, don't miss out on their pre-sale for the new 'Lets Get Nekkid' collection that ends February 1st! Sorry for my boo boo nail lol, he's much shorter than the others...

MAC 'Blue Sprinkles'

Hello Beautiful Girls! Today, I have a quick post featuring MAC 'Blue Sprinkles'. I'd describe this color as a sheer molten silver cool lavender shimmer with fine lavender glitter and square reddish-copper glitter. It's really different! This polish is a 'htf' (hard to find) polish and I honestly can't say what it's going for these days in terms of a dollar amount. With all the craziness on eBay who knows if we'll see it for over $100 some day! This is a very thin sheer polish and I used 3 coats for it to be completely opaque. Bottle Shot... Haha!...

I ♥ Nude Shades!

Hello Pretty Ladies! Today, I thought I'd do a little comparison post of 5 of my favorite nude/neutral taupe shades. I did 2 coats of each color and added a topcoat at the end. All the polishes used... From L-R:  Color Club 'Love 'Em/Leave 'Em', butter London 'All Hail The Queen', butter London 'Yummy Mummy', Cult Nails 'Crusin' Nude', & Priti NYC 'Mushroom Flower'  On my nails...  On my nails with cooler lighting... With flash... My take on these colors:Color Club 'Love 'Em/Leave 'Em' - A warm tawny taupe with a holographic...

Priti NYC Polish 'Lambstail Cactus'

Hello Pretty Ladies! A while ago I had purchased some polishes from Priti NYC Polish company. I am so excited to share this brand with you because their colors are very unique not to mention they cover very well. Today, I have 'Lambstail Cactus' for you. I would describe it as a dark warm grayish brown black with a slight holo / finely packed silver shimmer. Basically, I'd say it's a cross between OPI 'My Private Jet' and Color Club 'Revvolution'. There are bottle shots below so you can compare the three. Bottle shot... Priti NYC Polish 'Lambstail...

Cult Nails 'Time Traveler' & 'My Kind of Cool Aid'

Hello Ladies, Well, there's a first time for everything, right? I decided to try my hand at stamping! I had bought a few Konad plates a while ago but never used them. I started out with 2 coats of Cult Nail's 'My Kind Of Cool Aid' then used the tiny floral print design from the Konad m71 plate using Cult Nail's 'Time Traveler'. I finished the design with 'Out The Door' topcoat. The colors I used: From left to right:  Cult Nails 'Time Traveler' & 'My Kind Of Cool Aid It started with...

Polka Dots In The Air...

Hello Ladies, Tonight, I was originally planning on entering the Cult Nail's contest but decided my creative juices (and my energy levels) weren't flowing. I started out with Illamasqua 'Purity' and placed different sized polka dots using various Cult Nail's shades that include 'Iconic', 'Hypnotize Me', 'Feel Me Up', 'Awakening', and 'My Kind of Cool Aid'. I'm not gonna lie, it looked horribly ugly and I'm still a bit 'iffy' as to how I feel about it. I then thought of Deborah Lippmann's 'Glitter in the Air' and Revlon's 'Whimsical' and thought...

Nicole by OPI 'Kim-pletely In Love'

Hello Lovely Ladies, Today I have Nicole by OPI 'Kim-pletely In Love' which is a semi-sheer light cool pink shade with a blue opalescent shimmer.

It's a quick post! Here are the photos... I used 3 coats. Nicole by OPI 'Kim-pletely In Love' ♥ I'm completely in love & have been for nearly 6 years ♥ What do you ladies' think?

OPI 'Step Right Up' with Nabi 'Coffee' Crackle

Hello Readers, I don't know what got into me today but I started off with OPI 'Step Right Up' which is a very pretty pale pink that covers perfectly in 3 coats. The trick to this polish is to use as light and few strokes as possible to prevent streaking. I then thought about some sort of glitter but didn't want the hassle of removing it (even with the aluminum foil method it still takes time... and I wasn't having it today lol). So, I put a coat of Nabi's 'Coffee' crackle polish. Now, the name of this color does NOT accurately describe the shade....
