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!

 

I'm Kinda Clairvoyant

WOW, I've been gone for ages, haven't I?

In the last few weeks, I've been recovering from surgery,

launching a new polish collection,

and getting ready to move....so to say the least,

it's been insane over here!

I do hate neglecting my blog readers though, so I will try to be 

more consistent with my posts.

And speaking of post, I've got a new one for you today!

I am one of those poor souls that was way too slow 

to be fortunate to grab the ever elusive,

Cult Nails Clairvoyant aka Unicorn Puke.
I weep silently every time I see a post or pic with this
breathtaking polish. 

And so while I am still hunting for a bottle that won't cost me
a car payment, I decided to experiment with
a few different toned flakie polishes to see if I could
capture the look of Clairvoyant.

 

I started with a single coat of Color Club's Disco Dress, 

a vibrant violet purple.

Then, a single layer of Max Factor's, Fantasy Fire.

Then I used 3 different flakie polishes,

lightly applied. 

INLGOT #205

Essie Luxe Effect in Shine Of The Times

&

Picture Polish in Festival

Here is the and result

 

An exact dupe? 

No, I wouldn't say that, but it does capture the same look as 

  Clairvoyant and for the moment it's satified my craving for

this amazing polish.

What do you think?

Just A Little Update

WOW, 

where the heck have I been?

So sorry for not posting as of late, 

but I have been very busy house hunting, 

and I am also having surgery in a couple of days.

So I will continue to be MIA for at least another 

week at which time I plan to come back with some

Halloween goodies!!

Until then, enjoy your weekend &

keep painting those beautiful nails!

My Current Favorite Pink

I love every color imaginable, 

truly I do. 

But there is just something about Pink.

Is it the natural association with all things girly that makes

me love the color so?

What ever the case may be, I think Pink is the one color,

at least for me,

that each varying shade, evokes are different reaction, 

whether it be a soft baby Pink ( Aw, so sweet!), 

or a shocking neon Pink (Hot Mama!)

 they all show a 

different version of "girly" to me.

My current favorite Pink is a what most commonly refer to as 

Barbie Pink. 

 A sugary sweet vibrant bubble gum Pink shade.

This shade looks so amazing on tanned summer toes, 

YUMMY!

Color Club hit it out of the park with Peppermint Twist. 

Seriously, if you love Pink, this is a MUST-HAVE in your collection. 

My pics don't do it justice.

 

(excuse the rough cuticles, my poor hands have taken a beating as of late) 

Me love you longtime Color Club.

DELISH!

 

Nancy's Birthday - Whimsical Ideas By Pam

The first polish that I ever saw from Whimsical Ideas By Pam, 

was Suess. When I did, I quickly tracked her down to her Facebook page

where I then proceeded to fall in love with every single one of her polishes. 

And though my wallet didn't approve of me getting them all,

I did settle on 5 of them.

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Suess

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Kismet's Pajamas

Nancy's Birthday

I'm thrilled with them all, and her labels & little bows on her bottles are 

completely adorable! 

First up is Nancy's Birthday

Nancy's Birthday is a creamy sheer bubblegum Pink, loaded with a

variety of mulit-colored & sized hexagons.

 

MMMMM Pink glitter sandwich!

If you are a Pink lover, this is a must-have.

This is 1 coat of Nancy's Birthday over China Glaze Dance Baby

The application was a breeze! 

SO pretty! 

Pam's polishes retail for $10. each and can be purchased through 

her Facebook page here.

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!
