Happy Monday Dolls:) Well another great start to a great week and I have some really great polishes to show you tonight:) This is the Nails from the Crypt collection by Chirality !!!!

 

The Stuff is up first:) This is a medium lavender/purple beauty with coppery micro flakies.  Now without a top coat this beauty has a matte/rubber finish but I love it with a topcoat!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)

 

 Devil's Night  is up next:) This polish is a deep burgundy/brown crelly base with gorgeous bright blue shimmer through out!!!! This is my favorite of the bunch it is dark and Vampy but has a fun twist with the blue!!!  Here is 2 coat with a coat of SV (really think I should've gone with 3 coats, but I'll know for next time) :)

 

 I Got a Rock is a perfect purple/brown/grey linear holo that is rock your socks off AWESOME!!!! Holo's are something that Chirality is just superb at, and this polish is no exception!!! Here is 2 coats and a coat of SV:)

 

 (S)creme Queen is a gorgeous wine/purple crelly:) This polish is super smooth for a crelly, which is really hard to find.  And this color is the perfect fall polish!!!  It's rich and deep and just Screams FALL!!!

 

 Cropsy is the last from this collection and the only glitter, and just look at this glitter perfection!!! It has a super sheer yellow base with yellow and red glitters of all shapes and sizes. I put this baby over SC Black on Black  with a coat of Gelous and SV and BOOM!!!!

Green is the New Black

Happy Thursday Lovies!!!! Hope you are all having a fabulous week:) I know that I am SUPER ready for the weekend.  For tonight's mani I went Green, cause as everyone knows Green is the new Black:)  I used Zoya Josie from the Stunning Collection, a gorgeous grass green cream as the base.  I then used Zoya Rikki from the Irresistible Collection and lightly and randomly brushed the color on:) and this is the result:)

 

 

I am super happy with the way this came out:) and I Love how easy it was!!!! Have a fabulous weekend Dolls:) see you next week!!!

The Sinking Belle

Oh Happy Day!!!! It's Friday:)  And to start your weekend off with a bang, I have a Limited Edition Chirality Polish to show off!!!! Here is The Sinking Belle:) This is a totally gorgeous, light pink/mauve holo!!! I wore this polish for 4 days straight and was completely captivated by it!!!

 

 

This Beauty is a great neutral color with a touch of Glam. Now normally colors such as this don't look the best with my skin tone but this one has a slightly bluish base that just works perfectly for me!  Now sorry to disappoint but this was a Limited Edition polish that is no longer available. However Chirality is releasing another LE polish tomorrow, Check out the swatch and review @ Cosmetic Sanctuary.  And check out Chirality's Big Cartel Store for all their  other awesome sauce polishes!!!!

Monday Nail Art:)

Another week is starting, really where did the weekend go???? I will begin by saying I have a love/hate relationship with nail art:/ But this mani I Love!!!! I started with a base of SC White on White and then painted on Color Club Angel Kiss in some swirly designs:) Followed it up with a coat of HK Girl:)

What do you think of this mani??? I think I am finally getting the hang of nail art, but it definitely is a work in progress!!! Now stay tuned because later this week I have a beautiful Limited Edition Polish by Chirality to show you:)

Green, Glitter, Green...

Happy Labor Day Dolls!!!! Hope you have had a fantastic Holiday weekend:) I have had a very relaxing 3 days, now back to the grind tomorrow:( For tonight's mani I have a super awesome find for you.  Recently Five Below, a super cheap retail store opened up close to me, and I had to check it out:) While browsing I found that they carry Funky Fingers Polish and got super excited, and 3 for 5 is an awesome deal!!!  I picked up a couple of polishes but this green beauty was the first caught my eye;)  This is Wild Child a bright teal/mint/green almost neon cream.  Now the formula on this was great, not as pigmented as most creams and slightly streaky. It took 3 coats followed by a coat of SV to get me this look:)

 

 Now after 2 days I had some tip wear (I HATE THAT!!!!) so I thought about black tips and then saw My Orly Glam FX Mermaid Tale peeking out at me and just couldn't resist!!! So a little glitter gradient on the tips = super happy girl:) Love this look!

 

That's all for tonight, Dolls:) Sweet Dreams!!!

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.
