Wild at heart!

Hi all this is what I'm wearing today. A nice neon gradient. I couldn't decide if I wanted just the blues, green and yellow or I wanted the oranges, yellow and green. So I compromised and did my left hand with an accent nail of the orange, light orange, yellow and green.. and on my right I used the accent with blue green and yellow.

I loved them equally and I couldn't decide which I wanted to wear more so I did both.

The colors I used are Dj Blue My Mind, UV Meant to Be, Treble Maker and Daisy Know My Name.
Red-y to Rave, Home Sweet House Music, Daisy Know My Name and Treble Maker.
I used Born Pretty plate BP-17 with a white polish to stamp.

Have a nice day everyone and thank you for stopping by our blog!

Neon Flowers!

Hi all! I purchased China Glaze Point Me to The Party a while back (I actually got the whole collection because I loved them all). I needed Point me to the Party because it was almost a knock off of an Indy polish I've been wanting but never bought. So today I finally wore it!!! No disappointment at all. I decided I needed an accent nail so I decided to stamp with Salon Perfect's Oh Snap!, Copacabana Girl, Mer-Made of Money and Purple Pop! They worked amazingly and I was a little surprised.

The second picture is in the shade so you can see how much the Salon Perfect's polishes POP!
Thanks for taking the time to check out our blog! Have a great day!!

Tutorial Tuesday... Sunset with Palm Trees

Hey everybody:) Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, I guess I haven't had anything I wanted to write about; until now!
Pat made the suggestion that I do a tutorial Tuesday (again)... Here is the thing, Pat and I do an Instagram post on Saturday's called Sister Saturday and a lot of those post I've been doing a quick video how to post to go along with. She suggested that maybe doing a Tutorial Tuesday instead of posting a quick video. Well DUH!!! So here I am again blogging and bringing y'all Tutorial Tuesday!!!

Today's tutorial is a ombre with palm trees! For this ombre I used Maybelline Sunset Prisms and Milani Pink Pop, topped with China Glaze Angel Wings. I used Orly Liquid Vinyl for the palm trees. Here is a video tutorial, enjoy :)

P.S. If you haven't tried Simply Peel Latex Barrier by Bliss Kiss... You need to go get you some!!! Best thing for the messy artist in you!


Happy Polishing Everyone!

China Glaze Electric Nights swatch and review

Hey everybody:) Today I have China Glazes Electric Nights Collection to share with y'all, they sent these to me for review. This is a 12 piece collection that has 9 neon cream polishes that glow under black light and 3 splatter effect top coats (hexagon glitter top coat). Lets get started!

Treble Maker is a neon cream polish that covers in two coats (NO base white coat required!). This color looks mint neon green to me and I love it!!! I'm not a lover of green but this is a perfect neon green for summer!

UV Meant To Be is a baby blue neon polish that goes on in two coats. I thought this one was going to be a little less neon and more pastel but on and in the sunshine it is definitely neon.

Plur-ple is a light purple neon that goes on in two coats. This is a neon purple for those people who want purple but not shocking purple.

Red-y To Rave is a bright orange/red neon cream polish that goes on in two coats. This polish is my favorite out of the bunch! I love the bright intense color that kinda reminds me of Flip Flop Fantasy on steroids! This has to be the perfect summer color!

DJ Blew My Mind is a deeper blue neon cream polish that goes on in two coats. This is the darker blue from the collection and in my opinion the one that looks more neon. FYI this one stained my nails a bit so use a base coat!

Violet-Vibes is a bright neon purple cream polish that goes on in two coats. This is the brighter purple for the collection and on me looks more violet than purple like the bottle.

Daisy Know My Name? is a highlighter yellow neon cream polish that almost covers in two coats (as you can see). This is a super bright yellow that just screams SUMMER! I like this polish but wasn't too happy with having to put more layers on or use a white base... but with most neon polish, a base just brings out the color more.

Home Sweet House Music is a light neon orange cream polish that goes on in two coats. This polish reminds me of Sun Worshiper if the lights were out, lol! Great color and not too intense.

Glow With The Flow is a light neon pink cream polish that goes on in two coats. I was surprised that this color made it into the neon collection, from the bottle it looks light pink and not neon at all... but on my nails in the sunshine it definitely gets the neon check!

Point Me To The Party is a splatter look top coat that has hexagon neon glitter in a top coat. I love this top coat (really reminds me of a top coat I have already from Polish Me Silly, Hmm). This is a great top coat for summer but I have to warn you that you have to put on a lot to get good coverage.

Let The Beat Drop is a neon splatter top coat that just has pink and orange hexagon glitter. So for those people who only want orange and pink, this is the top coat for you. Not really happy with this top coat, I think its the combo of colors on me but maybe on someone else it would look awesome.

Can I Get An Untz Untz is a green, blue and purple splatter top coat that has hexagon glitter. I'm in love with this color combo, perfect over white! This would be cute as an accent nail along with any of the neon blue, green or purple polish from above. LOVE ♥

Overall I love all of these polishes! China Glaze did a great job on this neon collection and BONUS they Water Marble!!!! Yes you read that right these neon polish water marble like a dream! If you want to see my water marble check it out HERE! So RUN don't walk and grab these babies for your collection, cause once its hot you are going to want these on your nails! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this collection.

I water marble on Saturday!

Hi all I have some free time before I go out this morning so I decided to water marble my nails. Now if you follow me on instagram you might have noticed I was playing with China Glaze's Electric Nights collection (yes I needed and bought them all). So if you caught that picture I was trying out a no water water marble with the Electric Nights collection that I used on my toe nails. After that I knew I needed to try out a water marble with them! It turned out just the way I wanted. I did use a white base just because I always use a base color and I automatically reached for it. Let's take a look

 

 

 

 

 

Pinky I used Plur-ple, Violet-Vibes, DJ Blue My Mind

Ring Finger I used DJ Blue My Mind, UV Meant To Be, Treble Maker

Middle Finger I used Treble Maker, Daisy Know My Name?, Home Sweet House Music

On my Index Finger I used Home Sweet House Music, Red-y to Rave, Glow with the Flow

My Thumb Finger I used Red-y to Rave, Glow with the Flow, Plur-ple, Violet-Vibes

 

I used three colors for every finger except for my thumb where I used four. Now I'm off to enjoy my weekend I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Flip Flops and Pedicures!

Hey everybody:) Today's post is all about my feet... so if you don't like feet look away!!
Here in Ga the weather is getting nice and for me that means flip flops and pedicures! I did my own pedicure yesterday and decided to make some nail decals for my toes. If you want to know more on how I make my nail decals here is the link.... DECALS! Now I have been proactive in the care of my feet by using Curél Foot Therapy, this stuff is amazing and have made my feet super soft! And after all the fuss and muss of the pedicure and making my nails decals this is what I came up with ... P.S. I only had to make 2 half dollar size decals!

For the first time doing these decals for my toes I think they turned out pretty good! For this pedi I used Salon Perfect's Flamingo Flair, Yowza Yellow, Fired up Fuchsia, Loopy Lime, Bermuda Baby, and China Glaze Creative Fantasy. I added a diamond gem on the big toe, cause I might as well at this point! Just FYI some of the decals didn't quite fit, but I just added pink to the top to finish the look. I hope you like my pedi as much as I do:) Leave me a comment and tell me what y'all think.

Happy Polishing Everyone!

China Glaze Twinkles part 2!

 Hi all I'm back with the second part of China Glaze's Twinkle's collection (that I was sent for review). A few of these I had trouble with so I took a different approach then just a full nail swatch when I wore them. Let's get started...

This is Chillin' With My Snow-Mies I did this a little different as I had previously tried to paint it over red and over another color and it would bleed the base color through Chillin' With My Snow-Mies. So I had streaks of red or the other base color in clear it just didn't look nice. So I started over with (as you can see from the second picture) with a base of Re-Fresh Mint (two coats) then I stamped with Konad Green using plate BM205. Using a striping brush and white I made snow on the trees and the ground. I then placed a couple of blobs of Chillin' With My Snow-Mies on my nail art plate and began to dot the glitter on my nails. Now I found Chillin' With My Snow-Mies a little tough to work with when I was trying it out and it was bleeding the base color that I also wasn't getting much of the glitter out of the bottle. So I opted to try it this was as the base was thick. This was the best option for me wearing it. As I get frustrated easily with brushing glitter on and it all ending up on the tip of my nail. I'll also be storing this upside down so next time I'll have better access to the larger glitter.

 

 

 

This is Dancing & Prancing with 3 blotted on coats. Dancing & Prancing is a pretty multicolored multi-sized glitter that really screams party for me.  I tend to blot on thicker glitter because it can be placed on my nail easier that way and doesn't drag the good stuff to the tip of my nail. I like it this way...I do let it dry in between and with that method I'm able to move glitter around and make it work the way I want it to.

 

 

 

This is three coats of De-Light over a white polish. De-Light is a gold glitter in different sizes even bar glitter is in there (you can see the flash of it in the second picture).  I wore this over white and was surprised that the base turned. Not in a bad way surprised but I liked the finished product!

 

 

 

Feeling Twinkly is a micro blue glitter and this is 4 thin coats. When I was finished with the four coats I couldn't see the patches that the pictures show. I had a nice coverage that I was happy with. It really twinkled nicely and as I said before I couldn't see any patches or I might have tried for a fifth coat. It didn't bulge out like some polishes tend to do when you add a few more coats so I think you are safe if you want to wear this one on it's own.  

 

 

 

 

Meet Me Under the Stars is a black with silver polish that went on in two coats. My niece was drawn to this one as soon as she saw it on my nails.  It's really a nice sparkly polish that has just the right touch of sparkles! 

 

 

 

Pine-ing for Glitter is a lovely multi size green glitter that I wore in a gradient.  When I went to wear this I chose to wear it in a gradient and it turned out beautifully!

 

 

 

 All in all I liked this collection. Very spread out when it comes to colors and glitters. What's your favorite polish of part 2? Favorite polish out of all the colors from the Twinkle Collection? Have a great day everyone. And as always you can find China Glaze here, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.

China Glaze Twinkles Part one!

Hi all today I have for you the Twinkle collection by China Glaze (that was sent to me for review). China Glaze is giving us everything this holiday season from blues to grey. I decided to do this in two posts for ease of posting and not to overwhelm you with so many pictures so stay tuned Wednesday for the second half. All of these are without top coat. Let's get started!

 

 



December To Remember is a  light to medium blue that has a beautiful shimmer in it. This went on in two coats. Can you picture it with snowflakes on it? I can!!

 

 

Define Good... is a beautiful deep red with pretty shimmer! I used two coats of Define Good... for the pictures below. 

 

 

I'd Melt for You is almost one coat metallic silver. I don't need to search for another silver this one is perfect! I did use two coats just to be sure it was as fabulous in pictures as what I was seeing. I try stamping with I'd Melt for You and I think it's a little thick and if you want to go that route I'd let it dry on your stamper for a few seconds then stamp so you don't have smearing.

 

 

 

No Peeking! is a pretty murky purple that I wanted to like but there was something missing in it for me that I really can't put my finger on. This is two coats of No Peeking!

 

 

Out like a Light is a great darker grey that went on really nicely in two coats. I like this one because I can wear it with my nails either short or long. It's great!

 

 

 

Tip Your Hat is a great cream red and went on in 2 coats. I'm not a red person...for some reason red is the only color I consider flashy on my nails I'll wear it! don't get me wrong but sometimes I feel like it has flashing lights around my fingers because it's Red.

 

 

 

 

 

I always love the formula of China Glaze and these are no exception! The formula with spot on with all of these that I'm showing you today!

 



What do you think of the Twinkle Collection so far? I'll have the second part up on Wednesday so stay tuned! As always you can find you can find China Glaze here, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
