15 Week Challenge......Part Two, Week Six

Halfway there people, Halfway there!

So this challenge I had to choose a favorite thing....well I couldn't, so instead i did a few of my favorite things...
I love cats...
I love the color blue...
I love roses...
I love flowers...
I love flowers... Again...

I used China Glaze Sexy Lady as a base, its pretty, its pink-not my favorite color, bright and fun. Its a creme polish, it went on nice and smooth.

On my thumb, I stamped a cat. I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and the Hello Kitty plate (M71) from the Born Pretty store. I then made cat paw prints with the same black polish and a dotting tool.

On my index, I just slopped some sparkly goodness from Revlon-Blue Mosaic. It is super pretty with lots of different sizes, and some green in there.

On my middle, I went with a purple rose....if you look close you can see the tiny sparkles from Orly Velvet Rope. Plate used was: BM14.

On my ring I used a Fimo flower decoration...

On my pinky I went with flowers again, and stamped Sinful Colors 24/7 on first using plate BM16, then used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's Lacey Lilac and plate BM12. Very Subtle and dainty.

Pretty.

15 Week Challenge........Part One, Week Five!

I chose Tealy-Fast by Sally Hansen Instant dry line. Its pretty....I couldn't capture it well enough, I need to wear it again on a sunny day and take more pictures... Let me tell you this....I hate this brush! Hate it! I won't buy another of this line because of that....This polish to me is a duochrome, because in one light its a blue, in another light its a teal-green color with the most beautimous green in it! So pretty, again, my pictures don't capture it! So disappointing. Also ALOT of tip wear in one day!

maybe here in the middle finger in the light you can see that pretty green?

My First Franken! Taking Name submissions!

Hey there all! I finally made my franken! Whats a franken? Its a polish that you make out of other polishes you have on hand that you love or hate.....or just want to oomph up a bit! Kinda like Frankenstein, haha! 
I didn't really have an idea in my head for a particular color I was kinda just throwing in what I thought would look good. 

Here is the list of polishes that made my franken:
NYC, Starry Silver Glitter
NYC, Cashmere Creme
WNW, Blue Wants to be a Millionaire
WNW, Gray's Anatomy
WNW, Party of Five Glitters
SH XW, Gunmetal
and WNW Fantasy Makes Confetti

Its similar to Deborah Lippmanns Glitter in the Air. Although hers in more dainty, and sheerer, and less sparkle.

Blue Wants to be a Millionaire

Good Afternoon from Sunny Florida! Finally it is sunny for once this week, it has rained and been gloomy all week! I did this manicure about a month ago when we were all done moving, I had broken a nail and had to cut them down, :(

This is Wet n' Wild, blue wants to be a millionaire. Its pretty, sparkly, a little holographic, shiny....isn't she pretty!? Her brush and formula was a little tricky and thick, but it was OK!

Enjoy your weekend! Happy Labor Day (USA)!



NOTD: Las Vegas Showgirl style!

I was planning on doing a lightning bolt manicure, but haven't gotten to the 'bolt' part yet, but this polish combo is so great....its AWESOME! And the pictures aren't capturing its true beauty of course! I used Sinful Colors Midnight Blue with Pure Ice Strapless on top! It is so sparkly in the sun, its almost blinding, Mr. RSNSD said it looked like it should be in Las Vegas on stage!

Told you it was picture spam...

I finally found it! Crackle!

After numerous trips into Sally Beauty Supply, I finally scored some crackle, four of them! I picked up the grey-Cracked Concrete, blue/green-Crushed Candy, pink-Broken Hearted, and the white-Lightning Bolt. I was so excited about it! ( I also scored the buy two get one free deal) :)

For this manicure I used Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear - Blue it for my base and China Glaze Crackle - Lightning Bolt for the top. I wore it like that for a day then came home and put some Pure Ice - Oh Baby on it for a change up!

I really like the crackle/shatter polishes. But I guess they aren't for eveyone, some like the look, some hate it and some love it, I love them! They are unique and there are som many ways to wear them.

I got a Boo-Boo :(

Whats your take on the Crackle Polishes? Do you love, hate, or like them?

NOTD: Caribbean style!

Hi! This is China Glaze's Caribbean Blue. Its very blue, with a bit of shimmer in it. Sooo pretty.

It went on well, nice and smooth. This is two coats, with a bottom and top coat.

Here you can see the shimmer - and my dry cuticles!

Then I stamped it with Bundle Monster's 04 plate from their first original set, Has anyone gotten the new set yet? I know they just got them in, I'm wanting them, but can't excuse the purchase yet....so I'll have to wait. :(



I actually got alot of compliments on this manicure! This was my first successful stamping!

PS, I realize now that I spelt 'Carribean' wrong in all my pictures! Oooops!
