Carolina Girls....

So this weekend I wore one of my favorite colors ever:) Carolina Blue:) aka  Essie "Bikini So Teeny":) I just love this color it is bright and fun but not pink:) Don't get me wrong I love pink!!! Hence the name Pinked Polish, just every now and then you need something bright and fun that is also on the cool side:)  I added polka dots with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On" for fun.  I also went to Sally's this weekend and picked up some polish and guess what...  SV is on SALE this month (super excited squeaky voice)!!!! I also picked up Orly Glam FX in Mermaid Tears only to get it home and realize that Jordana Glitters in Cosmic is so close that it is almost a dupe.  Orly's Glitter is holographic, while Jordana Glitters is multi color, but when you swatch them it is almost identical!!!! For some fun news I will be having a giveway posted sometime this week and once I hit 50 Followers be on the lookout for another one, I am thinking 50 shades of grey themed!!!! what do you guys want to get!!!! I want specifics!!!!

Outside Sunny

So last night I tried my hand at the spun sugar technique.... If you don't know this method, you will def need to youtube it;) After watching a tutorial I figured out pretty quick this was so not at easy as I thought it would be, and I will def use tape on my fingers next time. But I love the effect it gives so it was def worth the time:)  For this Look my base is Color Club "Worth the Risque" and the sugar spun is Sinful Colors "Pink". All followed with 2 coats of Gelous and 2 coats of SV... I ♥ a smooth finish!!!! Hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday:) I have some surprises coming up soon so stay tuned Dolls:)

Sorry I have been slack on posts for the past few days... I have been feeling a little under the weather:(  So today I decided to try a color I got a couple of weeks ago by mistake... My order from Zoya got messed up but their CS rocks!!!! The polish is Zoya "Reagan" a creme magenta that leans purple rather that red:) I would describe this color like chocolate it is just that creamy, rich and smooth. For an accent on my ring finger and thumb I added 3 coats of Jordana Glitters "Magenta Magic".  The combo is beautiful but the glitter photographs purple when really it is a pink. (Check the pics to see). Happy Thursday Everyone!!!!!

Try it on Tuesday #2 The Blues



Inside Flash

 So for this episode of Try it on Tuesday I used "Into the Night" from the OPI Spiderman collection:) The pictures really do not do this color justice, it is a beautiful blue. I just got the mini collection and now I wish I had gotten the full size of this. For fun I added Chevrons in Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Celeb City". I really like this color, and now I remember why I bought it in the first place:)

Acid Wash

So tonight I tried a technique called acid washing... it is relatively straight forward, you layer your choice of colors (I used 4) then you take a brush dipped in acetone and remove the colors in splotches and layers until you get the effect you want. I really like the look of this effect and really wanna try it in all neon:)!!! So for this mani I started with a base coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear “White On”, followed by China Glaze “Pink Voltage”, and Zoya “Myrta”, and finished with Sinful Colors “Hot Spot”. Completed the look with a coat of Gelous and SV to even the dips out. I do think that the end result would have turned out better if I had waited for each layer to dry before adding the next one... Oh well there is always next time:)

What more could you want???

White Tips, Gorgeous Green and Glitter!!! What more could you ask for???? So last night I was struggling to decide what I was gonna do and a friend of mine suggested- a red polka dot mani with white tips- an idea which I love and will be doing soon!!!! But (insert SAD face) I couldn't find my favorite red (which I have now found). So I thought I would try it with green/turqouise.  I slathered on 2 coats of  Zoya "Zuza" and taped off some white tips with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On" :)  This is about the time that  inspiration struck!!! That new Jordana Glitter "Cosmic" I picked up last week would be perfect over this.  I ♥♥♥ the way this mani turned out:) but I did figure out in the process that Jordana Glitters are Topcoat HUNGRY!!! So if you use them pick up a bottle of Gelous and layer it on before your topcoat!!!! BTW once I reach 50 followers and 100 likes on FB I am gonna be having a giveaway:) I have decided theme my giveaway with either "50 shades of grey" or "The Basics of Nail Care"  Which would you guys like to see more???
