Aerial Phenomenon water marble!


Hi all today I have for you a quick post! A great water marble that I just love. I used Zoya Kelly as my base and then I water marbled with Kelly and Aerial Phenomenon. When I thought of these colors together I knew it'd be good but I didn't know how much I would love it! Check it out!
 


 
This turned out so good that I know I'll be wearing these colors again!
What are your favorite colors to wear together on your nails?
Have a great day everyone!!!

Here is a still shot of this w.m.



I just love the way this w.m. turned out! Makes me want to run out and buy a pumpkin! I hope you enjoyed this video and stay tuned for more nail art and videos.... I'm thinking 31 Days of Halloween!

Paranormal Paradise is outta this world!

Hi all today's post is about Mod Lacquer's Paranormal Paradise (I was sent this for review). Paranormal Paradise is a multi-size, multi-color glitter in a clear base. When I received this in the mail I knew I was going to like it but I didn't know how much! I did store it upside down like a friend directed me to with glitters that have larger pieces...larger glitters tend to sink...so just in case it was put upside down! I blotted/dotted polish on without having to fish for the big glitter.
 
This is Paranormal Paradise over Aerial Phenomenon. All the glitter and Pow from these two polishes was amazing! 

 BAM! LOOK at that beauty!!!
 This is Paranormal Paradise over a black and white.
 Oh!!! look at it on the black! It looks like outer space!

I don't usually go for glitter because of clean up and the taking off process. If I need to be a little neater and it takes more time I wouldn't care because Paranormal Paradise is very much worth the effort! I simply love it over pink! I wonder what color I will try it over next? What color would you wear Paranormal Paradise over?

Mod Lacquer brings it with Aerial Phenomenon

Hi all today I have for you the most gorgeous pink! Mod Lacquer's Aerial Phenomenon (which was sent for review) went on in just two coats and is a lovely pink liner holographic. This isn't my first Mod Lacquer Anne and I both purchased Majic Eyes Only that's an amazing purple holo and Anne also has Clandestine which is a beautiful turquoise holo. I knew going into this the review that the holo's would stun me! I wasn't disappointed in the least. Let's take a look. 
 
 



 
I really had to show all these shots! That's how in love I am with Aerial Phenomenon! Look at all that Holo!!!!  You can find Mod Lacquer's Esty page here, facebook, and instagram.

Hello Autumn!

Hi all today is the first day of Autumn! So today I have for you a fall water marble. For my water marble I picked out two new Zoya's  (I was sent these for review), I used Margo and Autumn. I have used shimmers (Autumn is a beautiful shimmer!) before but always as a base and water marbled with clear and the other color I wanted to use. Well this time I used the shimmer in my wm and it turned out great! I really wish it would have come out in the pictures in full sun because Autumn and Margo work so well together. 
 
 In the shade you can see the swirls and patterns better.

I really did like these together! Perfect for the first day of Autumn! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Holo number 4 step foward you have been chosen.

Hi all! Don't you hate when a polish doesn't have a name? Ugh I know I do this polish is actually labeled #4 from Born Pretty. #4 is a nice red holo that I layered over another polish I wasn't digging and really didn't have time to remove and apply a new polish. I wore this color for about 3 days. It shows up more of a pink/red because of the color I had under it. 
 


 
Such a pretty color...so sad you don't have a name. I hope to get to take pictures of the rest of the holo's I never got to show you last year because I really do love them all! If you are looking into getting something from born pretty store  try our discount code KXL91 for 10% off your order. Have a great day everyone!

Gemini Rising


Hi all today I have for you my favorite Holographic from Colors by LLarowe that I was sent. Gemini Rising is a beautiful GREEN holo (that I was sent for review). G.R. unfortunately stained my nails the first time I wore it. Lucky for me I was wearing it on my toes for vacation. So this time wearing it I knew to put on a green base color (2 coats of green and one two coats of Gemini Rising) that wouldn't stain my nails. Gemini Rising is a gorgeous holographic green that is very eye catching! I paired it today with tear drop lite green nail jewels (you can't really tell they are lite green though).
 

 
 In the shade Gemini Rising is still stunning!
 
I enjoyed wearing this color and find it a wonderful bright, cheerful green! Here is where you can find Gemini Rising if you are looking to add her to your polishes. Here is Gemini Rising's Holo family none of these will disappoint you if you are looking for a wonderful holographic!

Young Turks for tips!

Hi all I was really in the mood for a French mani this weekend. Picking a color always seems to be hard for me so I reached over into my untried and came away with Young Turks from Colors by Llarowe (which I was sent for review). Young Turks is a great turquoise holo. I think everyone knows by now I can not say no to a holo and this was no exception.  I also added a flower with  BM318 stamped with Konad white because I had the time before I had to go anywhere. I found the iridescent diamond in my nail art stuff and thought it would be a great add!
 
 In the Shade Young Turks is still stunning!
 
Yes stunning in or out of the sun! What's your favorite Holo from Colors by Llarowe? I'll share mine next week! It's a stunner!!! Have a great weekend!

Zoya Ignites this fall!

Hi all I'm back with Zoya Ignites collection (that I was sent for review). All of these colors went on in two coats but again like the Entice collection there was one I could have gotten away with only one coat. 
 
Autumn is a beautiful copper with copper metal shimmer that screams fall. I know in fall/autumn I have seen leaves this beautiful orange color in my travels. So Autumn is a spot on color for fall.
 


 
 
India is a deep red with gold metal shimmer. India is a great fall color and again I see deep reds, oranges when the leaves are changing and this automatically made me think of fall. 
 
 
Remy is an indigo with copper and gold metal. When I put this color on my nails I knew it was a winner in my book...not to indigo (straddling that line between purple and blue) to me but still such a beautiful color. I can see myself stamping this with mermaid scales! 
 
 
 
Sansa is a deep eggplant purple with gold metal sparkle.  Such a pretty color I know I love a good purple but this color fell a little flat to me. I can't exactly put my finger on what it is but it seems just to be an ok color to me right now. This color could have been one coat but for picture purposes I used two. 
 
 
 
Teigen is a pink toned cranberry with copper metal shimmer. Teigen is a lovely color and the description nails the color to a T. I love the copper shimmer in Teigen because it makes it shine and pop a bit more with it.

 
 
Yuna is warm grey with copper and gold metal shimmer. Yuna and I just didn't make it. I didn't care for the shimmer with the color. I'm not sure what color shimmer would have been better with grey but I just don't care for the copper and gold. 
 
Here it is the Ignites collection. I'm totally sold on all of these colors (except Yuna). Great colors for fall and into winter. What is your favorite color in the Ignite collection?
 

You can find Zoya to purchase here, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, on Pinterest.
What do you think of the Entice collection? Are you ready for fall colors?

Zoya will Entice you this fall

Hi all today I have the Zoya Entice collection (that was sent for review). Most of these are two coaters and one actually I was very close to using one coat. These are great fall colors. All of these are shown with no top coat.

Claire is a very deep burgundy and went on in two coats. Clair is such a deep color but in the sun you could see it really shines.

 
 
Genevieve is a cool leather grey.  Genevieve I just wasn't feeling it could be I'm still in Summer mode but it was just to dark for me right now. Other than still being on summer time I do love the grey that it is!
 

 
 
Margo is a red plum. I found Margo more red then purple like the swatch on Zoya's web site. On the web site it shows more Purple. Still a beautiful color! 

 
 
Nyssa is a milk chocolate brown. Nyssa lives up to the description in two coats you have a nice milk chocolate brown that is great for fall.

 
 
Ryan is an indigo. Honestly I saw it more as a deep navy.  I see it more of a Navy then leaning anywhere near an indigo. This is the one I almost used one coat on! BEAUTIFUL navy in one coat yes! I can see myself using this for a quick weekend manicure in the fall!

 
 
Veronica is a red wine. Veronica is such a pretty color I can see this for fall or a Christmas color. The second picture index finger shows of Veronica's true deep red color.


 
I really enjoyed all the colors even though some are too dark for me right now...but will be perfect for fall. Zoya's formula was spot on for all of these. They will look great on for the fall or right now if you are feeling it!
You can find Zoya to purchase here, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, on Pinterest.
What do you think of the Entice collection? Are you ready for fall colors?
