Seche Collage Overlay

Hello! Quick post this afternoon! This is Seche Collage Overlay.  Lots of holo bar glitter, large white glitter, and smaller holo glitter that leans pink (To me anyway). I layered this over Sinful Colors Smokin, and a layer of Northern Lights. Enjoy!

Neon for the Weekend!

Hello! Quick post this afternoon.  I went to Sally's the other day and found this neon gem.  This is Fuchsia Rage by Nina Ultra Pro.  I highly recommend these, they are cheap and apply beautifully! Also, on a side note, my Sally had some stuff on clearance like their left over Orly's from the Dark Shadows collection. Anywho, my camera really didn't like taking pictures of this neon.  It's a bright bright pink, but maybe with a tinge of orange, or watermelon maybe??  I have no idea! The outside pictures are more color accurate, but still not quite right.  What you see here is 3 thin coats, a coat of Northern Lights, and then a coat of Out The Door.  Enjoy!


Indoors in my light box, this shows it as just a pretty light pink with out the neon.


Out side you get the neon effect, but not the lighter pink.  I feel like my fingers are literally glowing pink!

Grecian Sun

Hello! I have yet another polish from the Cast Away Collection by Sinful Colors.  This collection was made for me! I have been very drawn to blues and greens lately.  This is a lovely bright blue, but it's also a little dusty.  My pictures show it to be very similar to Why Not by Sinful Colors.  My pictures are not very color accurate.  Grecian Sun is not quite this light in real life.  I have included pictures of Grecian Sun and Why not so you can see they are not the same.  Also, as you can see in some of the pictures, I went a little nuts with the Northern Lights. I should have waited to add the Northern Lights until after I had some sunlight, but you can still see the color under all the sparkle. If you haven't picked anything up from this collection you need to!

Why Not and Grecian Sun next to each other.

As you can see this looks way more like Why Not than Grecian Sun, but it is! This was taken with my phone.

This was taken later with my fiance's camera.  Also, after I went crazy with the Northern Lights.

 I am holding the Why Not bottle, you can see the differences here.

This is probably the most color accurate of the bunch.



Why Not and Grecian Sun
I feel like this post was all over the place! Sorry about that!

Lazy Nails

Hello Everyone! I have a short and simple post for you today.  I was feeling pretty lazy and just couldn't make up my mind on what color I should paint my nails.  So I decided on something very simple, but with sparkle. I used 1 coat (very carefully) of Nina Ultra Pro in Black and 2 coats of Northern Lights by Out the Door.  It matches my background on the pictures..lol! Hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy!

I love these things!

Hi Everyone! I have something really fun to show you today!!! I went to CVS a few weeks ago and decided to try some of the Kiss Nail Dress stickers or decals or whatever they may be! (it doesn't exactly say on the label) This pattern didn't have a name either (just the number 56709 KDS11).  I am going to call this a black giraffe and or leopard print.  They went on the same way as the Sally Hansen Salon Effects, but they don't feel like them when handling them.  These seem to be a little thicker.  There are 28 strips in the package.  Sizing was a little tricky for me, but I made it work. The box says they are supposed to last up to 10 days so we shall see! I would definitely recommend these just for the patterns alone! There was a decent selection, but I liked these the best. I added a little extra sparkle with a thin layer of Northern Lights. Enjoy! (PS-I know my cuticles are still in HORRIBLE shape, I am hoping being able to leave these on for a little while can help them heal!)

Kiss me Here and Shine of the Times!

Hi everyone! I have a great combo for you today!!! I was trying to think of some different colors to use with my Essie Shine Of The Times (I'm going to need a back up bottle lol!). I decided to try gray. I used 2 coats of Pure Ice Kiss Me Here (you can see that here, it has a matte topcoat over it) and then a thin layer of Northern Lights ( I love this stuff!) and then a layer of Essie Shine of The Times.  I then decided to go one step further and added a layer of my Hard Candy Matte Topcoat.  I think it came out pretty good, I can't stop staring at my nails!!! My pictures don't do it justice, in person it looks awesome! Enjoy!

Poinsettias are Pretty Updated!

 Hi everyone! Short post today, I just wanted to show you what I did with my Poinsettia manicure from yesterday! I added a topcoat of Northern Lights by Out the Door.  I think it really makes it sparkle! A nice hello to the holiday! Enjoy!

English Tea Time

Hello! Today I have a nude/neutral for you today.  This is "English Tea Time" by Orchid.   I like this color but it's pretty sheer.  I can't even remember how many coats I used, but it was a lot.  They were thin, and it built up well, but I don't like to use that much polish! I also added a layer of "Northern Lights" by Out the Door.  I can't decide if I really like this mani.  What do you guys think?
