this is <b>Where My Peeps At?</b> it is a pastel yellow jelly with blue, yellow, pink & green hex glitter. this is great! this was 3 coats and it applied beautifully. it makes me like yellow. in my opinion this is the better version of Candeo Jellybean. easier to apply, more flattering on my skin tone & funner glitter. perfect for spring!<br />

this is 3 coats of <b>Spring Training</b>. this was a quick favorite. it's a mint green jelly/creme with multicolored hex glitters. mint green with glitter? i am very much in favor of that. and again, it applied beautifully with no problems and the glitter was nice and dense.<br />

and last, but not least, <b>Iris My Case</b>. this is a great lilac jelly/creme with pink, blue, purple & white hex glitters. lilac is a huge weakness of mine, so this was an obvious grab when i saw it. this was also 3 coats for full opacity and again, great formula.<br />

here's a picture showing my obsession with lilac glitter indies. have i gone overboard? maybe. am i ashamed? not even a lil bit.<br />
<br />

i used <b>Happy Hands Lady Goodman</b> (which is amazing, by the way!) for an extra eyecatching, glittery base. then i painted a bunny on my ring fingers & a chick on my thumb! and of course i couldn't leave my other fingers and went with blue & yellow polka dots. i used <b>Lime Crime</b> polishes for all of the art (with the exception of the white).<br />

i decided on using my favorite indie of all time, and two of my newest additions!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgCYlnMBlHPuYAOyxFoZOg52gD-48oMoZuI3zPXxz-cUd-2kOw4QJ-S_Onst-fr0nhCxUl03w6-ByTL0XWIRKCaf8ZDtrmjhN33l63yZxuxRNZJB94aw3ekj9kZeN-LIg-19v-ibvC8QU/s1600/DSCN0765.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgCYlnMBlHPuYAOyxFoZOg52gD-48oMoZuI3zPXxz-cUd-2kOw4QJ-S_Onst-fr0nhCxUl03w6-ByTL0XWIRKCaf8ZDtrmjhN33l63yZxuxRNZJB94aw3ekj9kZeN-LIg-19v-ibvC8QU/s400/DSCN0765.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
for this mani i used my first <b>Gloss n Sparkle</b> polishes in <b>Passion Pop </b>and <b>Cookie Dough</b>. for the base on my art nails i used <b>Lime Crime Milky Ways</b> which is my favorite indie AND my favorite polish of all time in general. i'm on my third bottle of it. it's great.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
the point of this contest is to make the indies the star. so for one, i wanted to use entirely indies (with the outlining being the only exception), and two, i wanted to do art inspired by their names! so because passion pop is a bright coral with lots of assorted hex glitter, i created lollipops. and with cookie dough (which is a perfect representation featuring a light brown base with dark brown hex glitters) i created cookies!<br />
<br />

i hope this lives up to Kayla's expectations of her theme. i am an indie polish fan forever, and will buy them till people stop making them! (which i hope is never)<br />

but crosses are all the rage right now! i see them everywhere, on clothes, on nails, jewelry. fashion has definitely picked up some christian inspiration (ha ha).<br />

<br />
aren't these cute and trendy? i used <b>Julep Helen</b> as my base, which they describe as a smoky pastel lavendar creme. that's spot on, i love the smokiness especially. it applied very nicely, this was 3 thin coats.<br />
then i did the black crosses quickly and freely to give it a sketched look if you will? and did some neato purple rhinestone crosses on my thumb and ring finger.<br />

Jen is also very awesome when it comes to customer service. i purchased polish from her around Christmas and the shipping was a little delayed, but because of that she attached an apology letter and a free mini polish! how nice!<br />

this is <b>Jindie Nails Candy Land</b>! it's an awesome assortment of neon blue, purple, pink, green & yellow hex glitters in a milky white base. it's a little sheer, so i've shown two coats of it here over Lime Crime Milky Ways. it's definitely buildable on it's own, but i preferred using some undies.<br />
<br />
i would also suggest using two coats of topcoat over this bad boy, because those big glitters love to stick out. i love the colors in this, and i'm a sucker for a white based glitter!<br />

<br />
however, this is my absolute favorite from Jindie ever! this is <b>Swoon</b>, it's large neon green, pink & blue hex glitters with some teal smaller hex glitters in a milky tiffany blue base. this is TO DIE FOR! absolutely beautiful & perfect for spring!<br />
<br />
this is 2 coats over Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse, as it is a tad sheer as well and i really wanted the blue base to show!<br />

i used <b>Julep Sally</b> for the base. it's labeled by Julep as an antique ivory creme. it's a little more warm than an ivory. this is 3 coats i believe, the application was a little patchy and it went on pretty gloopy. however, the color is worth it. i used <b>Julep Otte</b> for the polka dots.</div>

<br />
this was also another contest entry in instagram and it was pastel themed. i love pastels, so i pretty much drooled over these until they chipped into nothing.<br />

how cute are these, seriously. also, i am obviously obsessed with Lime Crime and need and intervention. spring is coming and they are bright pastels... so i'm pretty much going to be using them all up. i used <b>Lavendairy </b>for the base and a pink nail art pen for the flowers.<br />

don't really know where my pinky is going in this picture. i also love the stud accents. studs everywhere, all the time, every day. i love them completely.<br />
<br />
i have seen lots of recreations of the design online, have any of you taken a shot at it? i'd love to see!<br />

these nails were inspired by <a href="http://mrcandiipants.tumblr.com/">mr candiipants</a>. she's great at coming up with cool pattern mixes and color combos. when i saw her tutorial for a "grown up flower print" i had to try it out.<br />

so as you can see, there's some nice red streaks on my pointer finger and some major dragging on my middle finger, but isn't it dang cute!? i put my own twist on the design with some vine-like accents. the flowers were actually easy breezy to create if you have the patience.<br />
<br />
i used <b>Lime Crime Milky Ways</b> as my base & some nail art pens for the design.<br />

i just had <b>Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse</b> sitting out and i was thinking, hmm, that looks like a robins egg! this is 2 coats and then just some scattered dots to make the speckled effect! i started with a dotting tool and <b>Julep Otte</b> to make faded looking dots, then did some dark ones with a nail art pen.<br />

these nails make me super happy. i love the idea so much, and it was beyond easy to execute. everyone with a tiffany/robin's blue polish should try this design out!<br />
super excited to show these babies off!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12096480500401243649noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792949051153627877.post-49252382338951150662013-01-24T12:00:00.000-08:002013-01-24T12:00:07.585-08:00super cute doily nails!these were fun & also one of the more detailed things i've done in a while!<br />
<br />
i
was inspired by a nail art account i follow on instagram, who was
inspired by her phone case. so i changed it up a little bit and they
came out looking like delicate doilies!<br />

this is 2 coats of <b>Barry M Cobalt Blue</b>
& some nail art done with a light blue nail art pen. Cobalt Blue
looks an awful lot brighter in the bottle, so i was somewhat
disappointed with this polish, but it still had a really nice formula
and good coverage.<br />

i
got a lot of compliments on these nails! people said they also looked
like a pysanka (ukranian decorative egg) which is also true!<br />
<br />
the only bummer is that i got too impatient and my topcoat dragged the art on my index nail ;( oh well!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12096480500401243649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792949051153627877.post-28457112430339520052013-01-22T12:00:00.000-08:002013-01-22T12:00:07.093-08:00baroque pattern (sorta!)this is definitely something i would've worn during the actual holidays, because the berry color is so Christmas-y!<br />
<br />
i received a "mystery wristlet" from Julep and was excited to test out one of the colors, so i came up with this pretty, free-hand design :)<br />

this is 2 coats of <b>Julep Sharon</b>. it's a pretty red-berry shimmer polish that is absolutely gorgeous. a red shimmer is a must have in any collection, and this one applied great. 2 coats for full coverage is good with me!</div>

then i free-handed a baroque inspired pattern onto my nails. i did full nails on my ring & thumb nails but only accents on the rest so it wouldn't get overwhelming. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
these were really classic looking and i got tons of compliments! still can't get over the nice color.</div>

this is 2 coats of <b>Julep Otte</b>, a coat of <b>Ninja Polish Shattered Star </b>&
some line art with a black striper! this mani was extremely fun &
easy to do. which is awesome if you ask me. i was inspired by <a href="http://nailside.blogspot.com/">Nailside</a>, where Jane does a mani similar to this, but i could only do the 2 arrow stripes because my nails were shorter. <br />

shattered star has also become one of my favorite glitters. it's the perfect gold (not too yellow) and has lots of holographic glitter! this was part of Ninja Polish's holiday collection. overall i really liked that such a simple design could be so striking!<br />

here's a swatch of Otte by itself. i wasn't sure about this color on my skin tone, but i still love it. neutrals have me in a hold right now that i cannot describe. and this is a unique color too! like a nice camel/sand creme.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12096480500401243649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792949051153627877.post-15030106507291537182013-01-18T18:46:00.002-08:002013-01-18T18:46:53.524-08:00& i'm back! only a month later...so i took a much needed break from just about everything over the Christmas holidays, and then extended it over 'till about now. but that doesn't mean i didn't do my nails many a time! so i've built up a little stack to show you all.<br />
<br />
i've also decided to make a few changes in the blog;<br />
less swatching, more art. gotta get back to what i actually enjoy doing!<br />
& i hate capitalization. i started this blog thinking if i capitalized properly and whatnot that it would seem more professional, but that's not me & i want this to be casual fun for me.<br />
<br />
<b>that being said, onto what i think was my favorite mani of 2012!</b><br />

this is <b>Barry M Blue Moon</b>! i took the plunge and recently bought a couple Barry M polishes & i am not regretting it. i love pastels and this color was great. this is 3 coats (+ a coat of China Glaze Ghoulish Glow, i went out that night and thought it would be neat).<br />

then i added some fun gold square studs i purchased from ebay. some of these turned a little bronze-y in color after topcoat? you can kinda tell, top stud on my ring finger was the worst. but i didn't mind.<br />
<br />
this was awesome and didn't chip for like 5 days, which is top notch when it comes to me (i can never make it last). Barry M polishes will definitely have to make their way into my collection more often!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12096480500401243649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792949051153627877.post-56800940550877720912012-12-15T11:00:00.000-08:002012-12-15T11:00:02.309-08:00Pretty & Polished Holiday Collection!I took these swatch photos of part of the <b>Pretty & Polished</b> Holiday Collection forever ago and I totally forgot to post them, so as we get closer to Christmas I thought it would be a good time to show them off!<br />
<br />
I had an opportunity to preorder the polishes from the collection that I liked, and bought about half the collection. So here they are!<br />

This is <b>Ruby</b>, the first of the Happy Holodays Duo. It's a berry red scattered holographic polish with a jelly base. It's a really nice color and something I'd wear around the year. This is 2 coats. It covered beautifully and was a really impressive polish from an indie brand. So nice to see what the non-glitter indies are like!<br />

This is the second of the Happy Holodays Duo, <b>Glitter Topper</b>. Its a mixture of red and green holographic hex glitters in a clear base. Its a really cute Christmas glitter that cold be layered over red, green, white, whatever to spice up any holiday manicure. This was 1 coat plus a little dab here and there to fill in bald spots.<br />

<br />Next up is <b>Everybody Loves Penguin</b>. Extra chunky black glitters and medium yellow glitters in a creamy jelly white base. I had to fish a bit for the extra large glitters, but other than that, this was my favorite of the bunch! Super interesting and fun. This was 3 coats.<br />

Lastly, <b>Love Always, Candy Cain</b>. This is an assortment of micro, medium & large white and red hex glitters with white & red heart glitters as well! I've shown it here over Lime Crime Milky Ways. I had to fish less with this one. This is one coat dabbed on.<br />
<br />
Overall this is the most fun I've seen in a Christmas Collection so far & I'm really glad I purchased these!<br />
<br />

First up is <b>Jindie Nails BeTrixed</b>. It is blue & yellow micro glitters with pink & black small hex glitters in a clear base. It is pictured here over Lime Crime Milky Ways. I really love the combination of colors! It applied beautifully and one coat was all I needed to get this cute topper look. A coworker compared these nails to the look of a roadmap. Isn't she so right!?<br />

And this is <b>Jindie Nails Happy Dance</b>. It is a combination of micro & small teal, pink and pastel purple hex glitters with micro, small & large red hex glitters in a white jelly-creme base. This is 2 coats of the polish and that's all you needed for full opacity! It applied like a dream for being so glitter packed. The color combination is unlike anything I've ever seen for a white based glitter polish so this one really excited me.<br />
<br />
You can purchase Jindie Nails Polish on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/JindieNails">Etsy</a>.

Pretty & Polished came out with a few polishes to add to their main line along with the Christmas collection, and as soon as I saw Mannequin Hands I had to have it.<br />
<br />
Here are some swatches, along with my first impressions of the polish.<br />

This is one coat of <b>Mannequin Hands</b> (Over my extremely uneven nails. Hello dry winter, thanks for breaking my nails!) It is a pinkish-nude jelly with baby pink hex glitters. I instantly thought of how darling this would be for a french manicure with a twist.<br />

And this is 3 coats of <b>Mannequin Hands</b>. I think I prefer this as a sheer. The opacity kinda ruins the delicacy of the nude & pink. Or maybe It's because I'm not a huge fan of the color of the base at full opacity. I might try layering it over a more opaque nude as a topper.<br />
<br />

Maybe if my nails weren't so stained from hair color It might've looked better, ha! Anyway, Mannequin Hands is a great polish for any nude or french manicure lover.<br />

The colors I used were <b>Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse</b>, <b>Lime Crime Pastelchio</b>, <b>Lime Lavendairy</b> and a generic black creme. I think the funnest part of this manicure is the different sized dots in each stripe.<br />

Here is two coats of <b>China Glaze Red Satin</b>. It is a deep red creme leaning a bit jelly. It is a polish where you could apply too thick in some areas and get darker spots, so it's important to apply evenly.<br />

Then I painted one coat of <b>China Glaze Pure Joy</b> as a glitter topper! It is a clear base with tons of micro red glitters and a bunch of slightly larger gold glitters. It is so amazing and so Christmas-y!<br />

It's hard to photograph red glitter on a red base, so I also took a photo in non-direct light to show the glitters a little better.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It is a little out of focus but in this photo you can see how the red glitters are almost the same color as the base creating a neat, sparkly effect! And the gold glitters are just the icing on the cake.<br />
<br />

Glitter is my favorite and the Christmas season is definitely the season of glitter! I can't wait to show you all the other Christmas glitter I got my hands on!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12096480500401243649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792949051153627877.post-62834529622920208592012-11-08T12:00:00.000-08:002012-11-08T12:00:00.935-08:00A Wintery, Glittery Manicure!It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas polish collections are hittin' the shelves again and I am forever excited. I picked up some polishes from the China Glaze & Venique collections! <br />
<br />
I was especially excited to try out the Venique polishes i bought, because the brand is fairly new to me. I actually use it at work when I do manicures and I've come to love it a lot.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a fun, wintery use of my new Venique glitter! This mani started with 2 coats of <b>China Glaze Towel Boy Toy</b>, which is another new polish I picked up recently. It is a sky blue creme with a little bit of a royal blue shimmer. I love to use blue to create snowy manicures, so it was perfect.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I added one coat of <b>Venique Twinkling Glitter</b>! It is an assortment of small & medium holographic silver hex glitters in a clear base. It is amazingly sparkly. I was so impressed with the shine.<br />

And here is an out of focus photo showing the holographic rainbow of the glitter! I love all the different colors you can see! <b>Twinkling Glitter</b> is a must have for any glitter lover.

Featuring Pretty & Polished Hello Dolly!October was Breast Cancer Awareness month & I wanted to show my own awareness!<br />
<br />
At work, we do product specials to raise money and whatnot but sometimes sporting the pink just to show your respect for all the survivors out there is just as meaningful! I wore this manicure in late October, so I'm showing you all a little late.<br />

This is 2 coats of <b>Zoya Emme</b>, a light pink shimmer polish with a little bit of a frostiness to it. I actually got this through <a href="http://www.glossybox.ca/">Glossybox</a>, which is a subcription to a box where I get 5 sample sized (and sometimes full sized!) products for $21 a month. It's also a Canadian company, which I dig since I'm Canadian. Zoya sent an assortment of pink polishes to Glossybox to give to their subscribers for BCA month!<br />

This photo shows the frosty finish really well. I love the baby pink color! It covered well and was not streaky at all despite the fact that most frosty polishes are. Very nice!<br />

<br />
I then added a coat of <b>Pretty & Polished Hello Dolly</b>. It's 100% the girliest manicure I have ever worn in my life. I loved how the girly glitter added some pizazz! (You know I love glitter, who could resist?)<br />

<br />
It's kinda funny actually, I didn't even remember purchasing <b>Hello Dolly</b> when I first got it, but I'm so glad I did! It is a collection of micro pink, medium purple, & large and extra large white and pink hex glitters. This is only one coat (super dense!) and all of the glitters went on fairly evenly! I did have to do some digging for the large white & pink hex glitters, but it was worth it.<br />
<br />

<br />
There is a nice macro & bottle shot for you, showing all the sparkle. The larger glitters do sink to the bottom as you can see in the macro shot which is why I had to dig, but if you left it upside down for a while and gave it a good shake, it would definitely make it easier.<br />

The first I received was the big, chunky rhinestones! I couldn't wait to use them!<br />
<br />
I was worried I wouldn't be able to wear these for long. I'm a hair stylist, so embellishments tend to catch on clients hair & pull which is not something that makes for an enjoyable experience! However I was pleasantly surprised!<br />
<br />

Here is my funky purple mani with my big purple rhinestones! They laid surprisingly flat on my thumbnails and did not catch for the couple of days I wore this mani at all! The only issue I had was they fell off after day 2.<br />

To focus on the polish aspect, here is my glitter sandwich! This was done using <b>Colorama Transparente </b>as the base, a coat of <b>Daring Digits Punch Me Purple</b> and then another coat of Transparente. I loved how exciting this was!<br />

Here in Canada the winter season is upon us, so I've been more into pastels, light colors and sparkly glitter that imitates the snow.<br />
<br />
<b>Wonder Beauty Products Aphrodisiac</b> is definitely one of those light colors that is perfect for winter & spring! I am also excited to show this off because WBP recently started retailing their polishes in bottles with brushes instead of jars! Way easier for my lazy self.<br />

<br />
<b>Aphrodisiac </b>is a light mint/turquoise jelly with small orange & blue hex glitters and small & medium sized gold & silver hex glitters. I love any polish that consists of glitter in a creamy jelly base, because they are glitter sandwiches in a bottle!<br />

The polish is quite sheer, this is 3 coats for full opacity. The build up is worth it, however, because the glitters are beautiful & I love the color combinations.<br />

Dino-mite Yoshi is an assortment of red, green, light green and white hex glitters in all sizes in a clear base. It's pretty dense, so It could be built up if desired, but I think it's meant to be more of a glitter topper.<br />
This swatch was done as a glitter sandwich with extra glitter on top! The base used in this manicure was <b>Colorama Orvalho</b>.<br />

So when I finally got my hands on it I was so excited to test it out and see it in all it's glory.<br />
<br />
Sad story is, I hate the formula. It is so thick, a nightmare to apply and not flattering on my skin tone at all. Major sadness over here.<br />

It doesn't look too bad in my pictures at all (minus the mysterious chip on my index finger, I didn't even notice that). In person it just made my skin look dead.<br />
<b>Candeo Colors Jellybean</b> is a pastel yellow creme with multicolored hexes suspended in the base. This is 3 coats of the polish.<br />

Had the formula been better on this polish, I probably would've liked it more. It was just so thick.<br />
<br />
I really wish I could love this polish, I really do. Maybe I'll save it to give away to one of you lovely nail art addicts. Yellow might be more your color!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12096480500401243649noreply@blogger.com0
