How Sweet It Is!

'Sweet'

Was in Dollar Tree the other day looking for some old SH Prisms.  Only found one 'diamond' not too thrilled about it.  It's a grey weak holo but good to use for frankenings to make other holographics.  Well, anyway I picked up Sally Hansen 'Sweet'.  I would describe it as a cinnamon red.  I am really impressed and guess what I think I'm starting to like reds *-*  It's a frost which I really don't like but this one isn't bad at all no brush strokes.

I don't know what collection this came from.  Do you have it?

Ring Finger nail art used LA Colors Art Deco nail art lacquers in white, black and gold glitter

sometimes a polish doesn't have to be expensive to love it.

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Blue Monday, A Blue Design

Blue Monday by Annie Lee

Right after my swatch of Chanel Riva and  Hard Candy Sky I wanted to do something before I took it off.  I pulled out China glaze FrostBite and decided to give the tape method a try.  Scotch tape didn't work for me the first time I tried so I pulled out my blue painters tape.  Hey, its blue have to try it right.  I taped it off and painted on FrostBite then applied SV topcoat.  Let that dry for about 10 minutes then whipped out my konad set and used plate M62 and special konad polish white.   That wasn't enough so I pulled out L.A. Colors Art Deco black nail art lacquer and randomly placed it on the konad design.  Hope you like it *-*

FrostBite is so gorgeous I need to do a full mani with it.

N/KOTD: Orly Goth (with Misa Got to be Real)

For the longest time (okay, maybe a couple of months.  LOL), I lemmed Dior Black Sequins.  The concept just seemed so awesome... black polish with silver glitter.  I saw it on Sephora over the holidays and then by the time I'd worked up the nerve to spend $20 on a polish, it was sold out.  I consoled myself by reading reviews stating that it was a bit underwhelming, but I still wanted the look.

Enter Orly Goth.  I'm almost certain Goth is in Orly's regular line up.  Or, if it's not, it's around enough in special collections (like Halloween and the current one at Sally's w/ Beyonce on the ad) that you can certainly pick it up.  Also, it's usually less than $5, especially from an e-tailer. 

.......drumroll.........

Swoon.  I swear, I want to marry this polish and have it's babies.  I love it that much.  In fact, I usually change my polish everyday or every other day, and I've had this one on since Saturday morning and honestly, it's not going anywhere for at least another day (I did add a konad, but more on that in a minute).  This was one regular coat and one thin coat to even out a couple thin spots.  The application was perfect.  The formula was great.  :) 

For anyone that was looking at Dior Black Sequins, you may want to seriously consider picking up Goth.  Sure, it's not HE, but it's truly amazing.  It's multi-sized, round, silver glitter suspended in a black jelly-ish polish.  It's not a true jelly as you can make it opaque pretty quickly, but it does have jelly qualities.  The best part?  The glitter does not get lost in the black polish.  There's also a uniform randomness to it.  I guess that sounds ridiculous, but unlike some other polishes *cough* Funky Chunky *cough*, you don't get a little bit of glitter here and a little bit of glitter there.  There are places that have more and places that have less, but your entire nail is convered with a smattering of silver glitter.  I know Essie SSN is supposed to mimic a night sky, but this one truly reminds me of the sky at night.  Pitch black with shimmers of silver.  Sigh.  I think this has got to be the sexiest polish I own.

Also, like I mentioned, I added a konad, as yesterday was Valentine's Day (happy belated Valentine's Day, btw).  I had shows all weekend, so I didn't get a chance to switch to red, so I did the best I could w/ Goth.  I think it turned out amazing, if I do say so myself.  :P

This is plate m73 and I used Misa Got to be Real for the silver.  I am totally in love with this mani.  Pardon the pun.  LOL. 

PS- Here's a bonus pic of my nails now.  I know a few people were interested in seeing them w/o polish.  I think it's been 12-13 weeks since I removed my glue-ons.  It's still going to take a little bit of time to totally un-do the damage, but I think they look pretty dang good.  :)
