A Gradient Kinda Night:)

TGIT Dolls:) that means tomorrow is Friday!!!! Also the beginning of a 3 day weekend for all of my American dolls!!!!  Last week I broke my index finger nail on my swatching hand:( and I just can't bring myself to chop down the rest quite yet... So I have mani  to show you that I did a couple of months ago, I was super happy with it, but not super happy with the pics of it:(

 Enjoy!!!!

 

The polish that I used for this mani is Different Dimension Whatever a gorgeous grape purple holo from the 80's baby collection:) This polish is a Limited Edition and is only $10 for a full size:) Check out my full review here :) I sponged on a black gradient tip with Sinful Color Black on Black and followed it all up with a coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl:)  Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!!!

First Look Fall Polish Forecast

Hey my Gorgeous Lovelies:) I hope you are having a fantastic week!!! Well guess what??? More fabulous fall colors are on the blogosphere tonight:) This cool collection is brought to you courtesy of Salon Perfect and boy did they NAIL IT:)

 

Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review. I was not paid for my review of this product and all opinions are my own

 Starting off is Playful Plum a rich dark berry sheen! This polish is not quite purple, or red, but more like a wine base with lots of little flecks of purple and magenta shimmers that gives it a WOW factor of 100!!! 

 Next up is Tainted Love a warm rosy peach with a pearlescent gold finish. This polish is a classic, safe color anybody can pull off:) Before I got really into polish, this was the color I would go for; soft, easy to wear, a matches everything kinda color!!!

Ivy League is a dark forest green sheen. This polish totally makes me think about Ivy growing on a big brick building on a college campus:) Perfect for Fall.

All hail the Royal Knight, a deep dark eggplant:) This polish was the most difficult of the bunch to photograph:( It shows up almost black with just a slight purple shimmer; however, it is slightly lighter and appears much more purplicious IRL:)

 Lastly is the Red Dahlia a perfect dark red burgundy with a great shimmer!!! This color is dark and vampy without going emo on you. The kinda color everyone can wear and will compliment almost every skin-tone I can think of!!!

So what is the consensus??? Love them or Leave them??? I Love them:) I never really can decide if I like bright summer colors or dark vampy ones more??? Once I think I have it figured out I see a collection like this and totally change my mind:) Well if you need a little more convincing check out what Salon Perfect Matte FX does to these beauties:)  

 

 

 

 

See told you:) Totally blown away!!! All swatches are 2 coats of a great formula w/o a top coat except the mattified ones (those have 1 coat of Matte FX) These beauties will be hitting Walmart shelves everywhere quick fast and in a hurry:) and for 3.98 each what a steal!!!!

Happy Hunting

Cashmere Luxury

 Happy Wednesday Dolls:) It's hard to believe another week has passed already... I'm so ready for fall weather, we got a little taste of the cooler weather today:) Low 70's in NC, in August, UNHEARD OF!!! So in celebration of this cool weather  I have the fantastic Zoya Cashmere Collection. Let's Cozy up:)

 

Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review. I was not paid for my review of this product and all opinions are my own

 

Flynn is up first, this camel brown crème is superb:) I got so many compliments while wearing this color! It is neutral and soothing and will be a great base for nail art:)

 

 

Lovely Louise is up next:) Have you been searching for the perfect chocolate brown??? I have and this hit the mark perfectly!!! It's like chocolate sauce for your finger tips:)

 

 

Livingston, this polish is the quintessential embodiment of classic red.  This color has been done time and time again, but I've never seen it done so well:)

 

 

Pepper, the loveliest shade of brick red I have see in a while. Most of the time brick reds are either too brown or too red, this one is a perfect medium:) It reminds me of real henna ink (Ohhh nail art idea) Gorgeous!!!

 

 

Hunter, a super rich forest green! Can anyone say Christmas Trees:) This polish has a kinda smoky feel to it, not vibrant but slightly muted and absolutely stunning.

 

 

Lastly is Sailor, your perfect navy blue.  Navy is one of those colors that is just classic and beautiful, but it is also really difficult to capture that in a polish. Most are too dark and look black under certain lights, but not this beauty, blue all the way!!!!

 

 Luxury living in polish form, that is what this collection says to me:) All swatches are 2 coats of the Zoya, 5 free, perfect formula, followed by a coat of SV:)

This collection is available on www.zoya.com for $8 each or grab the whole collection for $48:) and Check out www.facebook.com/zoyanailpolish to get some pretty awesome flash deals and upcoming promotions.

Smooth as Satin

Happy Wednesday Dolls:) Can you believe it is August already!!!! Where has this summer gone??? School is starting up (my little guy starts Kindergarten this year) and all of the new Fall lines are coming out:) That's right ladies, out come the dark vampy wonderful colors of the cooler months:) So for your viewing pleasure I present the Zoya Satins Collection:)

 

Some of the products in this post were sent to me for review. I was not paid for my review of this product and all opinions are my own

 

 First up is Channing, a deep burnt coppery orange that is just as yummy as Channing Tatum!!!! Here is 2 coats of this delicious color with a coat of SV:)

Next up is Claudine, this is a dark gray almost black dream polish with a slight silver metallic shimmer that is très chic:) Again 2 coats of perfect formula followed with a coat of SV!!!

The next beauty is Mason:) This is a fabulous pink/red/violet/purple metallic shimmer:) This color is one of my Favorites in this collection!!! It is one of those colors that every polish lover needs and is so super easy to wear:) 2 coats of this jewel with a coat of SV and done!!!

Neve, is the perfect metallic sapphire blue:) This polish is a trickster in the making, in the bottle it looks like a dark metallic purple/blue, but once you get in on the nail it turns into a breathtaking hue of blue:)  2 coats of the again perfect formula with a coat of SV and WOW:)

 My Favorite of this Collection is Giovanna, this is the most perfect emerald green polish that I have ever seen. She is slightly sheer so I used 3 coats, so as not to have any visible nail line!!! And just look at how gorgeous this polish is!!!! 

 

 And finally is Maria-Luisa, this is polish is described as a gold cellophane accent topper, and this description is spot on!!! I decided to show this polish on it own to show off it's true beauty:) Here is 3 coats with a coat of SV and just Beautiful!!!

 

So what do you dolls think of this collection??? I think it is fabulous and just perfect for the upcoming fall weather:) This collection is available on www.zoya.com for $8 each or grab the whole collection for $48:) and Check out www.facebook.com/zoyanailpolish to get some pretty awesome flash deals and upcoming promotions.

Blue and Yellow:)

TGIT Dolls:) I hope you are having a fantastic week!!! So I told you last week I had some nail art to share, well here it is:) I did this mani last week and I can't even tell you how many compliments I got on it, and a lot of "where do you get your nails done?" with a whole lot of looks of astonishment, when I said I did them myself:) It make me super happy when I get reactions like that!!!!

 

Anyway the colors I used for this mani are Zoya Darcy a super bright Sunshine Yellow:)  Zoya Purity a simply gorgeous bright white,  and Indigo Bananas Klein Trink Wasser probably one of the most gorgeous bright cobalt blues I have ever seen:) 

 

 

 

 

For my pointer and middle finger I used a base of Purity and then free handed some random designs in Darcy and KTW:) for my ring finger and pinky I used KTW as my base and dotted on some Darcy:)

 

So what do you think of my nail art??? I really haven't done any in a while so I super proud that this turned out:) That's all for tonight ladies, But I hope you have a Fabulous Friday!!!!
