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!...

I'd describe this color as a combination of a rose and coral. In some lights it appears to be rose-purple and sometimes it has a hint of orange/coral.  It's a very wearable shade with a surprise in the sun! What do you guys think? Do you have any other colors you really like from the OMG collection?

*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 right now

The flakes have an almost cool white silvery appearance

As good of a close up as I can get ;o)

So, what do you guys think? Too weird or kinda neat? I think it kind of looks like a combination of shredded coconut and Laquistry's 'Mini Marshmallows' custom made nail polish that can be found here in her Etsy shop.

Until next time...

♥ Cheers,
Bridget

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! Yes, I used my right hand because of my broken middle
finger nail on my left hand. It was quite awkward trying to figure out 
how to hold the bottle! ;o)~

 The polish...

Excuse the sloppy job, this was a last minute mani!

 All in all I could easily part with it as I'm pretty disappointed in both the overall color and formula of this polish. I have a few other MAC polishes and their formulas and colors are all amazing so this one was quite a shock for me. Soooo... if anyone wants to do a trade let me know! ^_^

♥ Cheers,

Bridget

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 packed shimmer
• butter London 'All Hail The Queen' - A slightly cool toned taupe with a slight holographic shimmer and hot pink overtone
• butter London 'Yummy Mummy' - A cool toned nude/taupe with a very fine silver, pink, and blue-green shimmer
• Cult Nails 'Crusin' Nude' - A cool (more greenish) toned nude/taupe with a pinkish purple shimmer.
• Priti NYC Polish 'Mushroom Flower' - A warm toned nude/taupe with a fine silver, pink, and blue-green shimmer. I'd say this is similar to bL 'Yummy Mummy' only the color is warmer and the shimmer isn't as fine.

So, what do you ladies think? What's your favorite nude shade?

Bridget

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.

Pretty cool right? I will tell you the CC is much cooler and has a much more apparent holographic effect. The Priti is definitely in the middle in terms of warmness/coolness. OPI has an additional sort of orange hue to it with a chunkier shimmer to it which makes it different. 

You can get Priti NYC polishes on their website or Amazon. Their polishes are $12.50 and in my opinion well worth the cost. What do you ladies think? ^_^
