Fantasy Fire

This polish I am going to show, you have prob seen many many many many times.

Its Max Factor Fantasy Factor over Revlon Royal. I Know its sooo overdone. I purchased the FF from an overseas fellow PaA'er, last year when it first came out, I swatched it on one nail and then kind of forgot about it. I decided to pull it out for the new year. As you know from a previous post, that is one of my goals, to used all of my untrieds...I probably have close to a hundred if not more. Insane.

not so nice picture but its the best I could get that green to come out and play...

I really like this combo, I tried it on a-England Perceval and it just wasn't good...I mean it was OK but not like it was on Royal.

Stay tuned, You don't want to miss the next two post's. Today is a double post day, I'm gonna show you what I released yesterday in the store.

And then for tomorrow, it involves sling shooting birds and laughing lemurs...lol.

Finally...I have Elle's Spell !!

I have been wanting this polish since seeing it on Chloe's Nails long ago, back when my obsession began about a year ago...
My cool blogger friend swapped me for it! Yay! Thank You so much Sara!

I layered Elle's Spell , by Barielle, over Revlon Top Speed Cherry. Oh my that is a yummy 'Sorbet' polish. Not quite a Jelly, but not quite a Creme either. Two cots of the Revlon, one of Elle's Spell. Then I took out my NYC Matte polish, its new to their line, and matte'd my ring finger.

Yes there are alot of photo's, sorry.

Some exciting news....Jeanie from Midnight Manicures is having a giveaway to celebrate her blog anniversary, and I made a polish for it! So exciting, make sure you keep an eye out for it, April 1st I think she said! I also am making a bunch of polishes to start selling, mostly glitters.....keep an eye out for those as well....It'll just be first come first serve...I won't be making large quantities...unless its worth it for me....(time wise/ demand of polish/ etc, it just all depends)

Layering Glitters...

So while laying in bed trying to go to sleep, my mind goes a mile a minute usually with things I have to do in coming days, or things I need to do....just silly things mainly. Last night I added polish to the list of things that run through my head at night.....LOL.

I thought how cool would it be to layer two different glitters that share a tinted base color. So I was scanning my memory of my stash, and landed on Revlon's Faucets of Fuchsia and Wet N Wild's Behind Closed Doors. They both had the Deep Grey/Black Base, and both had large Hex pieces and small glitters. I applied my base coat, I have been using OPI's Nail Envy-Original. I will have a post later on that, I have been taking weekly pictures of the progress. I have noticed a huge difference in the strength of my nails, they haven't cracked, or broke, or peeled in two weeks! That is amazing!!!

I used Revlon's FOF first, then Wet N Wild's BCD next, then I polished from the middle of my nail to the tip with the FOF, and then used BCD on the whole nail again. If I had used 'underwear' (that means using a dark color like black under the glitter), I wouldn't have had to use as many coats for full coverage. 

I like it, I am almost considering dumping a bit of each into and empty bottle.....

Have a good weekend!

Turkey, Turkey!

Well my Thanksgiving was yummy to say the least,  bit of family drama.....ya ya....

So Wednesday night, I quickly did a turkey mani...not the best but it was cute. It started lifting Thursday afternoon....

I used Revlon Carbonite as my base...and several Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's colors for feathers, and then a gold sparkle from Sinful Colors, and a brown from China Glaze, Unplugged.

I did the feathers with a small dotting tool, dragging from the tip of nail toward the cuticle....
Then the dots for the turkey body....The other fingers have feet prints and feather droppings, lol.

Gobble Gobble.....

And  a Mini Me Mani....

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving as well, and If your not in the US, I Hope you had a great Thursday!

<3, Carrie
