Autumn Dotticure

YAY!
My first "Autumn" mani of the season.
If anyone knows me, they are well aware of
my massive love for not only Autumn,
but for Halloween!
So I'm excited to share the first official 
Autumn themed mani.

Taking a cue from A Girl and Her Polish
and her gorgeous dotticure seen here
I imitated her same look, but just changed up the colors.




My base is NYX Girls polish in - Perfect Gray

Then using assorted sized dotting tools, I made the dots 
using these colors

Sinful Colors in - Snow Me White
Sally Hansen, Xtreme Wear in - Sun Kissed
Wet & Wild, Wild Shine in - Black Creme



A simple look, but I love it all the same!

Happy Independence Day!

What do you do when you can't decide between
gradient, stamped, or glitter nails for your holiday manicure?

You choose all three!



 I started with Wet n Wild's French White Creme,
applied a single coat of Dollish Polish It's A Me, Mario!
And then sponged  Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue & All Fired Up on
my tips, alternating the colors on each nail.

Lastly, using Konad plate M3, I stamped silver stars along the
side of each gradient, using Barry M. Instant Nail Effects in Silver Foil





It's raining tons over here on the Eat Coast today,
so who knows if I'll make that BBQ, but at least
my nails look good! 


Happy July 4th all you fellow Americans!

Candy Splatter

Rather than narrow down a single shade for my mani's, 
lately I've been having lots of fun using multiple colors 
for sponging, gradients, and marbling and 
I've been having a blast!
Here is my most recent look, 
using some candy inspired shades topped with black and white splatter.




 

PRODUCTS USED:

Wet n Wild - Wild Shine in French White Creme
Orly in Lemon
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Bubblegum Pink
Ruby Kisses in Teal Envy
Color Club in Pucci-licious
Wet n Wild - Black Creme

Full tutorial on this look has been posted on 
YouTube today!

HAUL!!

YAY!
I finally had a bit of free time to scrounge my local Rite Aids
for some polishes that I've been lemming for.

I picked up 3 shades from the new Wet n Wild Chrome collection

Aside from the disappointing fact that these bottles are only 
.29 oz., the shades are beautiful.
They applied very nicely, and in 2 coats, they were perfect.
These are interesting, having a metallic finish, but upon 
closer inspection, they actually have tiny micro glitters.
I definitely need to pick up the rest of these!
These retail for $2.99 each.

Dance In The Dark

These 2 shades are from the new Julie G collection,
from Jessie's Girl Cosmetics.
If you are unfamiliar, 
 JulieG. 713 is a huge makeup/nail guru on YouTube, 
last spring she worked with Jessie's Girl to formulate a collection,
and I guess it was such a success, they in turn gave her 
own label. 
I love seeing YouTube success like that! 
And Julie is a real sweetheart, to way to go for her!!

Again, these aren't full size bottles,
these coming in at just .35 oz. per bottle.
Still, there is a very nice range of shades, none of them
particularly unique, but still quite pretty.


These both have a great finish, 
and applied smoothly in 2 coats. 

These retail for $3.99 each

Next I picked up 3 shades from Color Club's
Take Wing collection.

Metamorphosis

 

I'm a big fan of Color Club, but these were a big miss for me.
They were extremely sheer,each needing 4 coats to get 
a decent opacity. 
and the gorgeous duo-chrome that you see in the bottle,
doesn't translate at all on the nail.
Bummer :(
Still, if you like bright metallic's, these can work,
I just recommend that they be layered to get some real punch.


Color Club retails for $3.99 each

I was fortunate enough to not only find the new
Wet n Wild Coloricon Be Jeweled collection,
but I also managed to grab ALL the shades,
oh happy day!

I won't go into too much detail,
since I plan on doing a separate post about them
and comparing them to 
China Glaze Prismatic collection.

What I can tell you is that if you don't have easy access to
China Glaze, these are a great and cheaper alternative.
