Autumn Dotticure

YAY!

My first "Autumn" mani of the season.

If anyone knows me, they are well aware of

my massive love for not only Autumn,

but for Halloween!

So I'm excited to share the first official 

Autumn themed mani.

Taking a cue from A Girl and Her Polish, 

and her gorgeous dotticure seen here, 

I imitated her same look, but just changed up the colors.

My base is NYX Girls polish in - Perfect Gray

Then using assorted sized dotting tools, I made the dots 

using these colors

Sinful Colors in - Snow Me White

Sally Hansen, Xtreme Wear in - Sun Kissed

Wet & Wild, Wild Shine in - Black Creme

A simple look, but I love it all the same!

 

Happy Independence Day!

What do you do when you can't decide between

gradient, stamped, or glitter nails for your holiday manicure?

You choose all three!

 I started with Wet n Wild's French White Creme,

applied a single coat of Dollish Polish It's A Me, Mario!

And then sponged  Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue & All Fired Up on

my tips, alternating the colors on each nail.

Lastly, using Konad plate M3, I stamped silver stars along the

side of each gradient, using Barry M. Instant Nail Effects in Silver Foil

It's raining tons over here on the Eat Coast today,

so who knows if I'll make that BBQ, but at least

my nails look good! 

Happy July 4th all you fellow Americans!

Candy Splatter

Rather than narrow down a single shade for my mani's, 

lately I've been having lots of fun using multiple colors 

for sponging, gradients, and marbling and 

I've been having a blast!

Here is my most recent look, 

using some candy inspired shades topped with black and white splatter.

 

PRODUCTS USED:

Wet n Wild - Wild Shine in French White Creme

Orly in Lemon

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Bubblegum Pink

Ruby Kisses in Teal Envy

Color Club in Pucci-licious

Full tutorial on this look has been posted on

HAUL!!

YAY!

I finally had a bit of free time to scrounge my local Rite Aids

for some polishes that I've been lemming for.

Stay Outta My Bismuth

I Got A New Com-Pewter

Precious Petals

I picked up 3 shades from the new Wet n Wild Chrome collection

Aside from the disappointing fact that these bottles are only 

.29 oz., the shades are beautiful.

They applied very nicely, and in 2 coats, they were perfect.

These are interesting, having a metallic finish, but upon 

closer inspection, they actually have tiny micro glitters.

I definitely need to pick up the rest of these!

These retail for $2.99 each.

Kickin' It

&

Dance In The Dark

These 2 shades are from the new Julie G collection,

from Jessie's Girl Cosmetics.

If you are unfamiliar, 

 JulieG. 713 is a huge makeup/nail guru on YouTube, 

last spring she worked with Jessie's Girl to formulate a collection,

and I guess it was such a success, they in turn gave her 

own label. 

I love seeing YouTube success like that! 

And Julie is a real sweetheart, to way to go for her!!

Again, these aren't full size bottles,

these coming in at just .35 oz. per bottle.

Still, there is a very nice range of shades, none of them

particularly unique, but still quite pretty.

These both have a great finish, 

and applied smoothly in 2 coats. 

These retail for $3.99 each

Next I picked up 3 shades from Color Club's

Take Wing collection.

Sky High
Wing Fling
Metamorphosis

 

I'm a big fan of Color Club, but these were a big miss for me.
They were extremely sheer,each needing 4 coats to get 
a decent opacity. 
and the gorgeous duo-chrome that you see in the bottle,
doesn't translate at all on the nail.
Bummer :(
Still, if you like bright metallic's, these can work,
I just recommend that they be layered to get some real punch.

Color Club retails for $3.99 each

I was fortunate enough to not only find the new

Wet n Wild Coloricon Be Jeweled collection,

but I also managed to grab ALL the shades,

oh happy day!

I won't go into too much detail,
since I plan on doing a separate post about them
and comparing them to 
China Glaze Prismatic collection.

What I can tell you is that if you don't have easy access to
China Glaze, these are a great and cheaper alternative.
