How Much is that Doggie on the Accent Nail?

2013-02-03T21:16:00.000-05:00

Hey, hey Bloggerettes! It has been a very long, hot minute since my last post and I apologize. However, I'm currently watching Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX and felt like it was time to post my Zombri nails! Zombri of course is my baby girl Boston Terrier. My nail art abilities are seriously sub par but I just had to do these!

Grey-t to be Here and Shine of the Times.

Grey-t to be Here, Shine of the Times, and Make a Spectacle.

I began with CND Stickey, 2 coats of Essence Grey-t to be Here, 1 coat of Essie Shine of the Times, 1 coat of China Glaze Make a Spectacle, followed by a thick coat of Seche Vite. Once dry I began my Zombri outline with a white base, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Then I took a short striper brush and an opaque black, Revlon Stiletto, and outlined her face, her nose, and whiskers. Then brown for her eyes and some pink for her ears and 1 more coat of Seche Vite to seal her in! It's funny, my demo nail came out more like Zombri while on my acutal nail looks more like Bronson.

See! But if you don't remember what Bronson looks like let me remind you...

Here he is after having couch for dessert!

What do you think of my totally derp representation of my pup? Thanks for looking!

Black Cherry 51

2012-12-01T17:53:00.004-05:00

Hellooo Bloggerettes! Today's post features my favorite OPI, Black Cherry Chutney, used previously for my Fancy Wallpaper look. She's the perfect Fall/Winter shade of burgundy. To snazzy it up I added Nfu Oh 51, the rainbow shimmer/flakie in a bottle.

The last picture are my nails under water to show the rainbow effect. It's so hard to capture on camera. The second photo really shows how perfect this combo is for this time of year! I began with 2 coats of Rejuvacote, 2 coats of Black Cherry Chutney, 1 coat of 51, and topped it off with a thick coat of Seche Vite. What do you think of this combo?

Thanks for looking!

Rule number 3, wear your heart on your cheek. But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat.

Uber long blog post title is long! Hello Bloggerettes! I've been throughly enjoying some Marina and the Diamonds, especially How to be a Heartbreaker. Fun mani plus equally fun song equals a FUN post! I obviously need some sleep, lol. Today's post features my favorite indie polish brand, Hare. Asteroid Turf is a murky almost neon green jelly filled with medium magenta hex glitter.

Asteroid Turf was an easy as pie glitter filled jelly to apply. Hey, that rhymed! Can you see all the hidden hexes? Beautiful! Hare polish is available on Etsy for $10 and at Llarowe for $11. I believe Asteroid Turf may have been discontinued, but they just came out with some new beautiful polishes. What do you think of this polish?

Thanks for looking!

Pretty & Polished Review

2012-11-18T10:46:00.000-05:00

Hey there Bloggerettes! I've been busy taking care of the sad news I mentioned in my previous post but I am happy to be back with a review of one of my favorite Indies. Chelsea over at Pretty & Polished was kind enough to let me review 3 polishes from her latest line. And as if she read my mind they were the 3 I really wanted to try! You go, Glenn Coco!

First up is my absolute favorite, Mannequin Hands. She is a shimmery nude based polish with small baby pink hexagon glitter. I actually wore this as a full mani for a few days. I started off with 2 coats of Rejuvacote, 3 coats of Mannequin Hands, and 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. Mannequin Hands runs a bit thin to achieve the jelly effect but 3 coats covers the nail with no visible nail line. The glitter laid flat and spread like buttah. This polish is a definite must have and isn't just any ol' nude shade! Removal was also a breeze, a plus with any glitter polish. Available in both mini for $4.75 and full size for $7.50.

Second in line is S'no Man's Land. Unfortunately for me, this was my least favorite of the three. S'no Man's Land features a shimmery white base with micro iridescent glitter and small to large white hexagon glitter. The white hexagons are gorgeous! I'd love to see them used in another one of her lovely glitter combos. For this swatch I tried out the Elmer's Glue base, followed by 3 coats of S'no Man's Land, and 1 coat of Seche Vite. I suggest using Gelous prior to top coat as it is a bit hungry. I also suggest using white underwear due to visible nail line. In the bottle it looks beautiful, like fresh snow, but on the nail not so much. The peel off base made removal easy as pie! Available in both mini for $4.75 and full size for $8.

And lastly we have It Gets Better. Chelsea has made several beautiful polishes for different causes with proceeds going to charity. It Gets Better was made for the It Gets Better Project, for LGBT awareness. 50% of the profits will be donated to this project. A beautiful message for an equally beautiful polish. She features a shimmery mint green base she has dubbed crelly (jelly/creme), with multi colored small hexagon glitter. I used my Elmer's Glue base, followed by 2 coats of It Gets Better, and 1 coat of Seche Vite. The formula worked perfectly for this combination of base with glitter, they in no way overwhelmed each other letting each part shine through. She applied like a breeze and the glitter laid flat and was not hungry. My glue base made this another easy removal. It Gets Better is only available in a full size bottle for $9.

Pretty and Polished is available through her Etsy. Mannequin Hands and S'no Man's Land are still available in both sizes and It Gets Better is currently sold out. What polish was your favorite or least favorite?

Fabuluxe Skull

2012-10-31T19:12:00.000-04:00

It's Halloween Bloggerettes and I have a fab look for you today. I've been wanting to do my own take on the Sugar Skull mani but with more glitta and more accent nails!

My base colors.

Phew, my closeup pic makes my skin looked wrecked. I promise my skin is just fine, lol.

As usual I started off with 2 coats of Rejuvacote. My thumb, ring, and pinkie nails have 2 coats Revlon Stiletto, my new favorite black creme, with 2 coats Lush Lacquer Lite Brite glitta. Index nails has 2 coats OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and my middle is just 1 coat of Hard Candy Fabuluxe. I love me a good 1 coater! For my skull my tools of choice were a big and small dotting tool and a thin striper brush. For eyes, mouth, and nose I used Stiletto, Fabuluxe to surround the eyes, dots in eyes were Hard Candy Beetle, and the hearts were Orly Purple Crush. Lush Lacquer's Lite Brite is a gorgeous multi sized and colored glitter, a definite must have! The skull was much harder to do than I originally thought, I had to redo it a few times before I was happy.

I hope you liked my Halloween mani, I know I loved it. Today was a rough day, we found out my father in law passed away. I would love and appreciate any love, prayers, and well wishes for my boyfrann, his family, and myself. I hate to end this on a sad note so here is a funny picture of Zombri and her new friends at the dog park last weekend.

Thanks for looking!

Crimson Orchid

2012-10-30T23:25:00.000-04:00

Happy Hallows Eve Bloggerettes! Todays look features a more demure look with a splash of blood! I was able to pick up China Glaze Orchid Shadow and CND Crimson Sparkle on a blog sale for a steal. I'm starting to build a small collection of the CND Shimmers and Sparkles, albeit slowly. This look only solidifies that I must own MOAR.

2 coats of Orchids Shadow.

Closeup of Crimson Sparkle.

The blood was inspired by the fact that my nails were consistently cutting me or someone else up. On accident of course! I started off with 2 coats of Rejuvacote, 2 coats China Glaze Orchid Shadow(a grey with gold shimmer), and 1 coat CND Crimson Sparkle. For the blood I did a needle drag with Essie Silken Cord. This was a nice and simple way of doing an almost work friendly Halloween mani, lol. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

Nail Dump

2012-10-30T00:26:00.000-04:00

Bloggerettes, the title of this post is gross. Haha! But accurate. I know I've lacked in posting but trust me I've been painting. Here's a quick update on some nail art and swatches while I've been busy in the outside world.

My attempt at a major lemming, Rescue Beauty Lounge's Aqua Lily. This is 2 coats of OPI Fly with 1 coat CND Violet Shimmer. Fly is a much more accurate base for Aqua Lily than Zoya Wednesday!

Then I added Essie Stroke of Brilliance! A lot of folks at work loved it but I just did not like this look. I received Stroke of Brilliance through the Essie Klout perk a while back.

This look begins with 1 coat of Maybelline Sunlight for a nice golden glow within, followed by Glitter Gal Light as a Feather. I can't remember which pink I used but I'm pretty sure it was China Glaze Pink Plumeria. I did this funky french for a friends wedding reception. A little appropriate with a neon punch! Loved this look.

I almost didn't buy this awesome Hare polish. What was I thinking?! This beauty is Twilight Savings. She's full of silver square glitter and purple micro glitter swimming in a purple jelly base. The micro glitter really makes this polish glow. Gorgeous, a definite must have.

You all know I love my roses! The glitter is Color Club Gingerbread and the base for my accent nail is Julep Hayden. My roses were a mix of colors that I can't exactly remember. Sorry dahlings.

Finally, this mani is 3 coats of Butter London Bluey. I received this bad boy through Coterie for a steal!

Ladies and germs, I have spent a long night painting up a storm making nail polish earrings for some lovely ladies. I also have a humongoid work week ahead of me. Luckily I do have 2 Halloween looks I can't wait to show you! Till next time...

Thanks for looking!

Stained Glass Ming

2012-10-24T17:55:00.000-04:00

Helloooo Bloggerettes! Today's nails are a mix of glitter gradient with an accent of stained glass. What, haha? My accent nails are meant to look like a stained glass window with roses. My pictures don't show a good representation of that but in person they were flawless!

I started off with 1 thick coat of Rejuvacote, 2 coats of Color Club Blue Ming, and 1 coat of OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? on my accent nail. Once dry I did 1 layer of Maybelline Sunlight followed by Color Club Gingerbread for my gradient. For my accent nails I used 1 coat of Cosmetic Arts Flakie polish, Orly Purple Crush for my roses, Blue Ming for my leaves, and Art Deco in black for my outlines. I love rocking roses on my manis, I think they are so fun and chic. What do you think?

For some shizz and giggles I decided to Frankenweenie-fy my boston babies, Zombri and Bronson!

Thanks for looking!

Hang-Ten Lion Toes

2012-09-24T22:33:00.001-04:00

'Ello Bloggerettes! Today's post features some sweet claws and freshly dyed pink hair! After seeing this mani from Sarah I just had to own China Glaze I'm Not Lion, a micro gold/holo glitter, and luckily for me China Glaze Hang-Ten Toes, a hot pink neon, was on clearance! As my nails grow, and might I add fast thanks to Rejuvacote, I file them just a bit more pointy to achieve my desired claw like shape. And with this shape I really enjoy the look of this funky french! I am not sorry for doing this look back to back, haha!

Look at all that ~*sparkle*~!!

I started off with 1 coat of Rejuvacote, 3 coats of I'm Not Lion, and 2 generous coats of Gelous. That glitter was hungry! By using Gelous you're not only feeding that glitter but creating a nice smooth surface for your french, otherwise it will appear gritty! Once dry I opted to free hand my french rather than taping. I just tapped off the excess Hang-Ten Toes leaving just a bit of the tip then slowly added each side until I reached the right shape and evenness. Then I just finished off with a thick coat of Seche Vite. All those layers made my nails feel tough as, well, nails!

As I've mentioned before I only feel like myself if my hair is pink or some obnoxiously blinding shade of bright. So after talking to my stylist I finally let someone else bleach and dye my hair! That was a first for me and I gotta say it's nice letting someone else do the work! Once my pink fades I'm going to go for a fall look and mix Manic Panic Purple Haze and Vampire Red for a bright burgundy. I can't wait but for now here's my pink hair!

What do you think? Thanks for looking!!

Violet Lightening

2012-09-20T21:17:00.000-04:00

Hello Bloggerettes! It's been a dreary rainy day here in Florida and a migraine has been my only friend today. So I decided to get my hair done. Today was just a cut and style but tomorrow will be COLOR! I'm excited to have someone else work on coloring my hair instead of me. There's nothing worse then staining your nails and face various shades of hair dye when you have a beauty blog, haha.

Anywho, today's look features a funky french using Color Club Ultra Violet, a neon purple with green/blue shimmer, and Sally Hansen Lightening, a yellow creme. This is also the beginning of a new nail shape for me. I have really been loving the claw like shape often seen on Lady Gaga and Rihanna so I'm slowly working into that transition.

2 coats of Lightening, 1 coat Seche Vite.

Don't mind my janky thumb, lol.

I started off with 1 coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats Lightening, 1 coat of Seche Vite. Once dry I applied tape to achieve my pointed funky french, followed by 2 coats of Ultra Violet, and 1 last coat of Seche Vite. I originally wanted to try a triangle tribal design but failed hard on my thumb and did my best to fix it without removing polish. You win some you lose some and this mani was pretty fun on it's own!

Also, check out my new ring in the last picture! Isn't it beautiful? I found this beauty down in one of my off the wall shops in St.Augustine and instantly fell in love. She's a drusy quartz crystal and she's all mine! They say drusy crystals dissipate negative thoughts and emotions which is always a plus. As always I wish there was a polish to match! Sigh...lacquer head problems.

Thanks for looking!

Roxy Flash

2012-09-05T20:40:00.000-04:00

Hello Bloggerettes! I am still unbelievably sick but I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Thank goodness! Ugh, so zero motivation is happening in these parts however tons of cartoons and spicy food are happening. Anywho today's post features an awesome gradient of Zoya Roxy(my favorite polish EVAR!), a raspberry jelly filled with magenta glitter, and L'oreal Amazon's Flash, a metallic gold. For the life of me I cannot do the sponge gradient method, so I do the 'paint down' method.

Roxy, 2 coats.

The paint down method is when you start painting your gradient at your tips then bring the color down. I really like this effect better than sponging, etc. I began with 1 coat of CND Stickey, 2 coats Roxy, 1 thick coat of Gelous, gradient of Amazon's Flash, and 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. Gelous is essential as Roxy is a very hungry glitter. Trust me, she is worth the effort! Amazon's Flash was part of a limited edition L'oreal set from last year so you may not find it in stores. But she is a nice deep warm gold, almost mustard like. Which gradient method do you prefer?

Thanks for looking!

A Dusky Masquerade

2012-09-01T12:04:00.001-04:00

G'morning Bloggerettes! I have the immense pleasure of laying on my couch watching my favorite movie 'Tangled' because I'm sick. Yay...not, lol. Todays mani features Barry M Dusky Mauve, a dark purple with pink shimmer, and Picture Polish Masquerade, a duochome micro glitter rainbow dream.

2 coats Barry M Dusky Mauve, no top coat. Look at that shimma!

Look at dem angles! The glitter shifts at every twist and turn, love it. I began with 1 coat CND Stickey, 2 coats Barry M Dusky Mauve, 1 coat Picture Polish Masquerade, and 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. Masquerade is a nice dense well balanced glitter, perfect for layering. However I noticed Dusky Mauve gave more of a brown appearance once coated with Masquerade, but still gorgeous. Now I'm off to a big bowl of ice cream to soothe my ever so sore throat!

Thanks for looking!

Shiny Bikini Time

2012-08-27T20:51:00.001-04:00

Hello, hello, hello Bloggerettes! I've had a very busy August with work, my birthday, and my boyfrans birthday. The boyfran and I shared an amazing vacation with the pups, food, and a lot of alcohol. We also did a lot of shopping, so I picked up some new make up and polish. Gifts were some Adventure Time toys, Lollipop Chainsaw, and baking stuff. Yes, I am 12, don't judge haha! I also bought The Wah Nails Book of Nail Art, if you're looking for a cute nailspiration book this one is for you!

Anywho, todays post features Essie Shine of the Times and Bikini So Teeny. This mani was a huge hit and I received so many compliments. Bikini So Teeny is a gorgeous periwinkle/baby blue creme while Shine of the Times is an orange/gold/green flakie. I find with most Essie cremes the formula tends to be thick however this was not the case with BsT.

Gorgeous, right? This is 1 coat CND Stickey, 2 coats of Bikini so Teeny, 2 coats Shine of the Times, and 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. As a quick side note Shine of the Times is no longer carried at Walgreens and was replaced with Stroke of Brilliance the multiple sized blue glitter in the Essie basic department. Which I think is a damn shame as it was the best polish in the Luxe line.

Hello Kitty in Bubble Gum Land: A KKCenterhk Review

2012-07-31T11:33:00.001-04:00

Hey hey Bloggerettes! I was lucky enough to be contacted by KKCenterhk and was asked to review several products, this is part 1! Today's post is a continuation of Holographic Bubble Gum with the addition of KKCenterhk Hello Kitty Nail Decals 3D-314. Sanrio and Hello Kitty have been a part of my life since I was a little girl so I had to pick these decals, not to mention the adorable poodles. Can you imagine if it were a little Boston Terrier!?

The set features 31 decals with opalescent glitter.

Design includes 2 Hello Kittys(pink & blue), butterflies, roses, bows with roses, and poodles.

These decals are so cute! They were easy to apply and had good grip on the nail. Once you lay them flat on the nail apply a thick base coat, I used Seche Vite, to seal them in. My only complaint is the butterflies and the butterfly and poodle decals ripped easily because of the 'swirls'. Hello Kitty Nail Decals 3D-314 retail for $3.50, a steal, at KKCenterhk.

Holographic Bubble Gum

2012-07-25T21:55:00.001-04:00

'Ello Bloggerettes! Today's post features the most amazing pink holographic polish EVAR Jade Delirio Rosa. This Brazilian gem has the most spectacular holo mixed in with the brightest bubble gum pink. Unlike other holos this one is prominent inside or outside, artificial light or not.

The shade of pink does vary in certain lights as you can see from my pictures. I started with 1 coat of CND Stickey, 3 coats of Delirio Rosa though you could get away with 2, followed by 1 coat of Seche Vite. Delirio Rosa has topped my all time favorite polishes list already. I purchased mine via a group buy but you can now pick this up at Ninja Polish for $7.50!

Tutorial Tuesday: Grunge

2012-07-24T17:04:00.001-04:00

G'day Bloggerettes! Today features another group mani featuring Tutorial Tuesday; when you pick your favorite tutorial and do it! I decided to try my hand at Jamie at Nails Adored Grunge Tutorial. However instead of grunge I got more funky peacock but it's still pretty sweet! This post is going to be very picture heavy!

I picked Essie Licorice, Sinful Unicorn, Orly Purple Crush, China Glaze Splish Splash, and China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise. You'll need a capful of acetone and a paintbrush for this mani.

I started with a coat of CND Stickey followed by 2 coats Licorice.

Paint 1 side with Unicorn.

Then Purple Crush.

Followed by Splish Splash, then Turned Up Turquoise.

Once your done take your paintbrush, dip in acetone, and start brushing your nails till desired effect.

I am so happy with my results! Jamie did a great tutorial and I hope I did her some justice! What do you think? Now let's look at what the other girls did!

Summer Grapefruit

2012-07-23T22:44:00.000-04:00

Hi there Bloggerettes! I'm having a rough day but wanted to show off a cheerful Summer mani! Today I'm featuring Julep Hayden layered with Zoya Rica. Hayden is a bright orange peach creme while Rica is a gorgeous coral with gold shimmer. The combination reminded me of a freshly cut grapefruit, pretty even though I hate grapefruit, lol.

2 coats of Hayden, no topcoat.

I started off with 1 coat Gelous, 2 coats Hayden, 1 coat of Rica, topped off with Seche Vite. Sadly I experienced some lame shrinkage but the color was gorgeous. Nubbins are no fun but my nails are finally growing! Ever since I mixed up my vitamin intake my nails have become a lot thinner than I am used to so I need to remedy this asap. Well, I'm not feeling so great so it's going to be an early night for this usual insomniac!

Golden Conduct

2012-07-21T00:20:00.001-04:00

Hellooooo Bloggerettes! Today I am showing off Sally Hansen Magnetics in Golden Conduct. This is truly the stand out color in the Magnetics collection. It appears as a mucky browned gold but once the magnet is applied the prettiest gold shimmer comes out. The bottle is much like the Nails Inc Magnetics right down to the bottle shape and magnet which is in the removable cap. All Sally Hansen Magnetics have the same wavelength pattern magnet.

I find magnetic polishes are easier to work with when you have nubbins. So I suppose it was quite 'lucky' when all my nails broke while opening boxes, lol. I began with 1 generous coat of Gelous, 1 coat Golden Conduct, followed by 1 more thick coat, applied magnet, and topped it off with Seche Vite. Out of Nails Inc and China Glaze I found Sally Hansen to be the easiest to work with as well as the most affordable! Sally Hansen Magnetics are $9.99 at Walgreens, and I know most stores have a special $1 off coupon, just ask!

DV8 aka Uber Lemming Fulfilled!

2012-07-15T18:23:00.000-04:00

Hey there Bloggerettes! Todays post features my all time major lemming China Glaze DV8. She is a gorgeous teal linear holo. However it's not a bam in your face holo like OPI DS Original or Gosh Holographic. When I received it Florida was going through some major storming so I have no sunny pictures but I had to wear it! I know you all understand that feeling, lol!

No topcoat!

I don't know why this picture came out so blue but it's gorgeous! With Topcoat.

I did 1 coat of CND Stickey, 3 coats of DV8, followed by a coat of Seche Vite. Topcoat did not effect the holo of this polish. I really loved this color and the length of my nails but unfortunetly my nails broke pretty bad during the dreaded truck day at work. C'est la vie! RIP awesome nails, hello nubbins.

Bronson says, "Yes, this is Dog."

Did You 'Ear About Tacos in the Bubble Room?

2012-07-10T17:36:00.000-04:00

Hello Bloggerttes! Today I have a really fun combo featuring Sonoma Nail Art and Pahlish. Bubble Room by Sonoma is a gorgeous gold shimmer with micro gold and holo glitter. I started off with 2 coats of OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? a great beige neutral followed by 2 coats of Bubble Room. This is the same look featured on Sonoma's listing that Sarah over at Chalkboard Nails did!

2 coats of Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? alone.

Completed look with a coat of Seche Vite.

Isn't is gorgeous? Bubble Room keeps the look from looking simply neutral but not too in your face. Then the next day I received my Pahlish package which included the amazing Fire in the Taco Bell. Which automatically reminds me of Electric Six.

I immediately added 2 coats. Fire in the Taco Bell has an orange jelly base with magenta and orange, hexagon, square glitter. But my absolute favorite part is the translucent purple hexagon glitter! It gives this polish an extra oomph that I was not expecting. While Bubble Room was smooth and applied like buttah FinTB had to be moved around and placed to avoid any clumps. Sonoma polishes retail for $10 and Pahlish is $9. What do you think of this mani or are you too focused on Danger, High Voltage!?haha

"Some of the sweetest candies are sour as death inside."

2012-07-04T22:35:00.001-04:00

Happy 4th of July Bloggerettes! Today I have the amazing Pretty and Polished reformulated Jawbreaker. Jawbreaker has a white creme base full of yellow, red, blue, green, and purple glitters in various sizes and shapes! It's the closest thing to patriotic my nails could get, lol. This polish is based off the candy of the same name and jawbreaking induced awesomeness. However when I hear Jawbreaker I automatically think...

"I killed Liz. I killed the teen dream. Deal with it."

This is 2 coats of Jawbreaker, 1 coat Gelous, topped off with 1 coat of Seche Vite. My finish was incredibly glossy and smooth. I do recommend 3 coats of Jawbreaker to avoid a bit of visible nail line. Pretty and Polished Jawbreaker are currently sold on Etsy but she will be joining Llarowe soon! Hope you all have a fun but safe holiday!

Monochrome Monday

2012-07-02T03:05:00.000-04:00

Good morning Bloggettes! Today I have another group mani. This time it's Monochrome Monday, or black and white for us more simple folk, lol. It took me forever to come up with something and I am happy with my results. I did different looks on each hand this round but both start with the same base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (told ya' it's my favorite!), followed by 2 coats of Sally Hansen Glass Slipper(white glitter flecks/shimmer).

Once dry I applied several pieces of strip tape to each nail. Next I used LA Colors Art Deco in Black as I am out of regular black polish.

Tape has just been freshly pulled, no top coat yet.

Finishing the look is Lynnderella Connect the Dots followed by a generous coat of Seche Vite.

For my right hand I used 2 coats of Pahlish Typewriter Keys (shredded white/black glitter with silver/holo shimmer) and 1 coat of Lynnderella Connect the Dots.

I love, love, love the way this came out, reminds me of one of my favorite movies Beetle Juice and my Boston babies Zombri and Bronson. The only thing I would change is a coat of Gelous before Seche Vite as it is a bit gritty.

I hope you enjoyed my mani, now lets see what the other ladies came up with!

My Boyfriend Scales Hippity Hops

2012-07-01T21:15:00.003-04:00

Hey Bloggerettes! Long time no postie. Life has been a bit hectic with both Bostons getting sick while my dad was in the hospital. It's been an exhausting, stressful week but I am back.

Todays mani is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls with Girly Bits Hippity Hop. Lmao, I never in a million years thought that I would find a Spiderman Hippity Hop to go along with this mani. My Boyfriend Scales Walls in a greyed white creme and Hippity Hop is a mix of purple, pink, green, holo pastel glitters with pink purple shimmer. I was able to purchase Hippity Hop over at Harlow & Co. shortly after my Girly Bits order for $12.

2 coats MBSW.

1 coat Hippity Hop over MBSW.

I applied a generous coat of Gelous followed by Seche Vite to even out my finish. Hippity Hop was a huge lemming for me and it didn't dissappoint. I tried to capture the shimmer and effects but it does not photograph easily. You definitely have to play around with placement as it is thick. My Boyfriend Scales Walls has easily become my favorite white even though the formula is a bit thin.

If you don't follow me on Instagram(feedkmayeorchids) you missed out on some pictures of Zombri's xrays, Father's Day, hauls, and other goodies. Here's a sneak peek of some of my favorites.

Into the Night

Hey Bloggerettes! Todays post features the amazing Girly Bits Into the Night. Into the Night is a black based polish with micro lime green, magenta, and holo glitter. I have been really wanting Girly Bits polishes but I always missed sales or didn't have funds at the time. But blessed be she opened up a new shop on Big Cartel and I was able to order 1 mini bottle. When I opened my package I was surprised to see a full size bottle with a note from Pam saying it was a shame to pay so much for shipping for just a mini polish. How sweet is that?!

Gorgeous, isn't she? This is 1 coat of Gelous, 3 coats of Into the Night, and a 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. This polish is a bit hungry so I suggest using another coat of Gelous on top of it for a smooth finish. Into the Night retails for $10 in full size and $6 for mini size on Girly Bits website.
