Aquatic Seaweed?

No name for this mani, all I know is that I'm totally digging it. 
It has a very aquatic feel to it.






I started off with a coat of POP Beauty polish in Mint Magic
Then I sponged lightly some 
Orly in - Luxe & Barry M. in -Cyan Blue

Then, using NYX Advanced Salon formula polish in - Sepia
and Cheeky jumbo stamping plate B,
I chose the pattern circled below, because it of reminded me of seaweed 


 
 These plates rock, & I'm quickly accumulating several of them.
The images are larger, so if you've got wider nail beds, 
these are perfect!
I picked this one up on Amazon.com
for $11.99 + shipping

Enchanted Polish + Lynnderella = Sparkly Cotton Candy Goodness

A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to nab some fantastic polishes from Indie brand Enchanted Polish

These are a MUST-HAVE for any holo lover, 
really, they are all completely stunning! 

The moment I saw Disco Barbie, I knew I had to have it. 
I've been searching for ages for a bright bubblegum pink holo.
OMG this doesn't disappoint! 
Flawless application in just a single coat with a medium-strength linear holo. 



YUM YUM!!


But, because I can never leave well enough alone, I grabbed another
stunner from Enchanted, called Ocean Potion, an amazing ocean Turquoise holo and sponged the tips.




And again, with me always going for the " More, is more" rule :)
I then grabbed Lynnderella's Boy-Girl Party and layered on top. 

Ahhhh perfection, Dolly style!




DELISH Sparkly Cotton Candy!





Enchanted Polish can be purchased at both Llarowe 
as well as her own Etsy shop and retail for $15. each

Lynnderella polishes can also be purchased at Llarowe,
and are $15. each.

I'm in this month's issue of GO Style Magazine!

GO Style, a popular Israeli fashion magazine has featured me in June issue!
Many thanks to Yifat, 
a Facebook follower for not only mailing me the magazine, 
but also roughly translating it for me as well.



Here is the rough translation:

 - After surfing in nails blogs they arrived to Dollish Polish 
and the owner is Dolly (no one know her real identity).
Dolly creates at her online shop, custom nail polishes and they're MUST in every one that love nails.
Dolly creates polishes in colors and texture that you will never find anywhere else or with any famous brands and she give strange names to each of them that symbolize the inspiration of them like "Spank You Very Much" and "Fat Guy In A Little Coat" and a famous one "Zombie Flesh" that created by her love to horror.
Dolly talks to her fans everyday in her Facebook page and update with new colors, inspirations etc.
Her fans take pictures of them with her designs, share tips,
and enjoy talking with her on anything that relate to nails.
We don't know until when she will stay anonymous or when she will be mega brand but when it will happen you should know her!


I handed the magazine to my mother without saying for what or why,
she thumbed through it till she got to the article and just stared in silence for a long moment, finally looking up at me all glassy-eyed, and said
" OMG, that is your hand in a fashion magazine from halfway across the world!"

Yep, pretty surreal, and very exciting!

Spring Green Gradient

There is something so refreshing about Green nail polish,
I don't know what it is, but I've got more Greens
in my collection than any other shade. 

He is a super Springy Green gradient that 
I'm currently wearing & absolutely loving.




I used 3 different shades:

Sinful Colors in Innocent as the base
Then used a combo of
Maybelline Express Finish in Go-Getter Green
and
ORLY in Fresh
to create the gradient

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.

Stay Outta My Bismuth
I Got A New Com-Pewter
Precious Petals



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.

_______
 

 
Kickin' It
&
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.

Sky High
Wing Fling
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.
