Essence colour & Go #53, You Belong To Me

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

OK, my computer is driving me crazy! Maybe it's just to early to be typing. The truth is I should be dressed and headed out the door right now. But I really want to try getting post up on a regular. So here I am at 5am, stalling my inevitable hike down the snowy hill to my bus stop. I have to work just about everyday.... it gets old. :(

Any Hoo this is the nail polish 2-3 coats, SV top coat. This polish has just a hint of green tone to it and is so pretty and vibrant. first pic show color best. Fast drying time, good formula.

I luv these little mini's at at a dollar a piece they are so affordable!! This is my mani from yesterday. I'm trying not to smoke and on my first break at work yesterday I went to the ladies room and painted my nails. I figure for every pack of smokes I buy I could be buying a bottle of OPI or 8 of these Essence polishes! So I'm doing my best to just say no. :) Today I'm gonna add a little glitter. :)

I'm off to get dressed....
Luv the ones you love and be thankful you have them!!!!

Want Santa left in my stocking!!! Damn! I'm Good ;)

Hello, here's just a quick peak at what I got for xmas. This for me was the best Holiday I've had in a long time. I've been on a very low buy for over two year snow so this was an amazing gift to myself, 1 of these came from my mom along with a bunch of nail glitters that I'm looking forward to playing with (and so are my girls!) Two of these came from my dad. The kids got me the Hard Candy Polishes. I guess the fam knows what I like...Lucky Me!! As far as I'm concerned nail polish is the best gift ever! I've been playing with these colors tons although I'm still having a terrible time getting good pics...oh well I'll get better and eventually so will the natural lighting....... Did you hear it's snowy in Seattle? Yep just a little so far in my neck of the woods but it still makes for a cold early morning bus ride into work, but I'm thankfully I can still make it in and get paid! I've been working for over a year now and things are still as tight as ever but I have just enough extra to make things special when I need to. Life is good (at least better)

LUV WHO YOU LOVE! AND BE THANKFUL YOU HAVE THEM TO LUV!!!

Sally Hansen Gems, Lady Luck

Hello! I finally figured out a way to upload some pics, but I can't crop them and they aren't to great so this is just a fix for today. But I'm so happy to be back. My Internet at home is spotty but better than nothing. My Plan is to edit some pics in the evening and then email them to my work account and upload them on my break. Of course it probably won't be everyday, I just don't have the time and My nails are rarely painted anymore :(

Anyhoo, here's the polish. Lady luck is soooo pretty my pic's don't do this justice at all! But They where taken with my cell phone so they are better than I hoped this is 3 coats with top coat. This polish for me was thick and gloppy so extra care is need to get an even coat, but worth it in the end. This Mani only last one day But I blame that on not using a base coat, which I find to be extremely important when using any sort of glitter.

HAHAHA! I'm Rusty. Have an amazing day! Love the ones you love!!!!

no pics?!?!?!

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:30:00 +0000

So I emailed myself some pictures of my nails... (I finally got to paint them last night) and no luck with the work email. Apparently some one in HR doesn't think those types of pics are appropriate? Idk, but I will continue to try. Have a great day Everyone!!!!

Naturistics, Isle Be Back Pearl #52

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 03:45:00 +0000

Hello there I just have a quick post to share with you, This is Naturistics's Isle Be Back Pearl. Of course I couldn't get an accurate shot of this polish, my camera and purples get along worse than neons. The last extremly blurry pic shows the color best. I really haven't worn this until yesterday. My son picked this out for me so I decided I would give it a try. I was home sick in bed so I had plenty of time to kill while the kids where at school. I'm feelling much better now!

This polish is uber thin and took four coats to acomplish this uneven mess. But the color is fun and now that I finally have my beloved SV top coat it actually dried. This is an older vintage polish I found at my grocery outlet. The base of this polish is a dark greyish blue with dense floating purple shimmer. Which is propably why it looks sooo blue in my photos. I have to admit that althouth this isn't the most unique polish and is crazy hard to build it really has grown on me. I like it more than I thought I would. I don't know when or if I will wear it again since I have a couple hundred untried's in my stash. I'm still not ready to throw it away. Bottom line this is not worth lemming and there are much better purples out there.

All pics taken in natrual light.

This is my new shower curtain and a near dup in color......

Revlon Limited Edition Heartthrob Red

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 02:49:00 +0000

Hello! Thanks to the lovely ladies who gave me such a warm welcome in my last post! It's awesome to be here! I miss this sooooo much! I tried replying via comments, but blogger wouldn't let me post a comment as me. Phewy to that!!!

Thanks to ....Oliva C, Diana, Michelle L.... you make me Smile :)

Here's a quick post. I wanted to get something with polish up soon! Here we have today's NOTD or week hehe!, Revlon's Heartthrob Red. This was one of my first nail polishes! I haven't worn this in years, but I'm so glad I have it! This has mini flakie's that give that glass flecked look, as you can see it's super bright and overcast here in Seattle so you can really see the rainbow of colors in this polish. Under more traditional lighting this is a really beautiful glowing salsa red. This is two coats polish, one coat SV no Base coat. All picture's taken outside in natural light, no flash.

Sorry for the randomness of my picture order, I'm still getting use to the new computer and I can't seem to see my picture as I'm loading them.... just numbers :)

I'm Back!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 22:01:00 +0000

I finally have a working computer at home!!! I don't have any pictures to show you today but I hope to get some taken, edited and loaded before to long. I'm working full time and have been for a long time now, so I have very little time for blogging but I hope to set a side time each weekend to blog.

I'm off to do my nails and take some pictures! Hope Your Weekend is Grand!

P.S. I cut my hair really short about 8 weeks ago, it's grown out 3-4 inches. :)

OPI Designer Series Nail Polish, Royal

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:50:00 +0000

Hello! I've been crazy busy, but very content. How are you? Well I hope. Today I have on one of my favorite polishes, OPI's DS Polish in Royal. I know I've shown you this before, but I lUV it tooooo much not to show it again! ......:) This polish normally takes 4 coats to be opaque. this time around I layered 2 coats over a dark purple I was already wearing. I liked it even better this time around. Tomorrow I celebrate my son's 12th birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY NOT-SO-LITTLE MAN CUB!!!

OPI Designer Series Nail Polish, Original

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:21:00 +0000

Hi there! How has your week been? Mine is going great. The new job is wonderful.

Tonight I have a DS polish to share. This is Original, a purple Holographic polish. This was 2 coats with base and top coats. This is similar to OPI's Sand-erella, which is older and harder to find. The only noticeable difference to me is that Original has a much stronger holo and Sand-erella needed 3 coats to be opaque. I love Holographic polishes!!! I have many in this shade. But I think the DS Holo's seem to last longer than others and this didn't chip away in large flakes like so many others in this category tend to do.

Maybelline Colorama Nail Polish, Pink Cadillac #60

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:22:00 +0000

Hello! Great news! I start a new job Monday. I'm very happy about that :)

Today I have a pretty, light pink polish to share. This is Pink Cadillac from Maybelline's Colorama line. I think I would classify this polish as a pearl. I'm not sure about other area's but I haven't seen this line sold anywhere in the northwest with the exception of Dollar Tree. I do think these might still be available in other countries??? But I'm not sure. I really liked this color it gave my nails a very clean look. This was 3 or 4 coats. It was a little on the thin side but not something I would pass on. Hope your weekend was good! Have a great Monday!!!

love & beauty Nail Polish (Forever21), Pink (74969521011)

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 15:57:00 +0000

Hello dear readers, today I have a love & beauty polish to share with you. This brand is sold at and for Forever 21 or XXI Stores. This polish is simply called pink. I included the serial number on the box because sometimes you can look them up on their website and get a proper name. Sorry I don't have a bottle pic. This was a mini at $1.50, .24 oz or 7 ml. This polish is a bright pink, darker than bubble gum and lighter than a magenta. This polish has chunky multi sized/colored glitter. This was 3 thin coats with a top coat. I didn't care to much for this polish. It lost all it's pretty after I applied it. The color seemed bland and the glitter kind of disappeared. You can see it in my pics, it just looks silver and lacks luster.

Oh well! lol! Have a great day!!!

Eyeko Nail Polish, Pretty Polish "for neat nails"

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 04:10:00 +0000

Hello, hope your Monday was good and your Tuesday even better! I just have a quick post to share this is Eyeko polish in "Pretty Polish"a pastel pink creme. This was 3 coats with 1 coat top coat. This polish was a little tricky to work with, but I liked the end product!

A quick and dirty comparison, No name Sally Hansen Nail Prisms & Sinful Colors NATB

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 23:59:00 +0000

Hello, Happy New Years Eve/Day!!!! I'm hoping the new year brings some much needed positive energy to me and my family. What are you hoping for? This is a quick comparison of the Sinful polish I showed you yesterday, NATB and that no name Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Polish I have. If you think you might know what color this Prisms is please let me know! Personally I think this is such a close dup that you wouldn't need both. The Prisms polish has a slightly greyer tint to the base. but this is super hard to see. I used 3 coats of each polish. And I think I got slightly better coverage with NATB.

Here we have a couple of bottle pics..... Aren't they pretty?

Here I tried to capture the difference between the real Lapis Amethyst and the mislabeled one. The color difference is much more noticeable in person. The real Lapis Amethyst is on the Left.

A close up. Lapis Amethyst is on the left.

Here we have one coat, pinkie and middle fingers are Night at the Barbados, Ring and index fingers are Lapis Amethyst. All the following pics are in the same order.

Here is a full on sun pic and probably the only one with a visible difference.

Close up....

Purple duochrome effect.........

see how red my skin is ...... it's soooo cold!

NATB, LA

So what do you think Are these dups? Does anyone know what this prism is???

Sinful Colors Nail Polish, Night At The Barbados #394

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 18:37:00 +0000

Hello Dear Readers! Hope your all doing well. Today I have a Sinful polish to share with you. This is Night At The Barbados (NATB). I've had this polish for like 2 yrs I think?..and just tried it! Silly Cat! NATB is an awesome "lit from within" polish! Its a cloudy based steel-ish periwinkle, loaded with glowing teal shimmer. This is three thin coats and worth every one! This polish had great drying time, and for $2 it can't be beat. I tried to capture the duochrome of this as best I could.... this post is pic Heavy! please remember to click a picture to enlarge it if you'd like. I recommend the first pic, it really captures this polish nicely. On a side note I do have a Sally Hansen Nail Prism polish that looks (in the bottle) To be a close dup for this, But that polish was mislabeled as Lapis Amethyst, and I've had a couple bottles of LA and I know it's not LA. I will try and swatch my "No Name Prism" soon and see if it's a dup. Have a great day and Thanks for reading!!!!

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish, Matte Grey

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 14:52:00 +0000

Hello Happy X-mas Eve! And a Happy Friday too! Today I have an old polish for you. I was lucky enough to come across some of the matte Maybelline polishes at my local dollar tree, quite some time ago. This is Matte Grey. Matte Grey is a light gun metal matte that dries to a semi-satin finish due to the loads of shimmer. This does dries to a decent matte, but my pics don't show that very well ...sorry. These polishes would look great with a top coat too. I want to mention that these went on quite nicely for me. Not sure if that's luck or not but I thought it was worth mentioning. This is 2 coats, no base, no top.

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish, Plum Intense #210

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Hello How's your week going? I'm doing okay, I've got some last minute shopping to do ....Wish me luck!!!! lol! So today I have a near dup for yesterdays polish (Amethyst Glimmer). This is Plum Intense, a very uber dark plum color. PI is a slightly darker and less purple version of AG. This is another nice winter polish that works great on it's own or as a base for layering. I love using dark shades instead of plain old black. PI has a high gloss finish and went on nicely in 2 coats. No base, no top.

Maybelline Express Finisih Nail Polish, Amethyst Glimmer #578

noreply@blogger.com (Kittyluvscolor) — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:20:00 +0000

Hello Dear Readers! Today I have another Maybelline Express finish polish to show you. This is Amethyst Glimmer (AG). AG is a very dark plum-purple creme with a high gloss finish. Why they call this "Glimmer" I don't know? LOL! This is a great winter color and would work great layered with shimmery sheers, flakies or glitter. This is 2 coats, no base, no top.
