Nancy's Birthday - Whimsical Ideas By Pam

The first polish that I ever saw from Whimsical Ideas By Pam, 

was Suess. When I did, I quickly tracked her down to her Facebook page

where I then proceeded to fall in love with every single one of her polishes. 

And though my wallet didn't approve of me getting them all,

I did settle on 5 of them.

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Suess

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Kismet's Pajamas

Nancy's Birthday

I'm thrilled with them all, and her labels & little bows on her bottles are 

completely adorable! 

First up is Nancy's Birthday

Nancy's Birthday is a creamy sheer bubblegum Pink, loaded with a

variety of mulit-colored & sized hexagons.

 

MMMMM Pink glitter sandwich!

If you are a Pink lover, this is a must-have.

This is 1 coat of Nancy's Birthday over China Glaze Dance Baby

The application was a breeze! 

SO pretty! 

Pam's polishes retail for $10. each and can be purchased through 

her Facebook page here.

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!

Aquatic Seaweed?

No name for this mani, all I know is that I'm totally digging it. 

It has a very aquatic feel to it.

I started off with a coat of POP Beauty polish in Mint Magic

Then I sponged lightly some 
Orly in - Luxe & Barry M. in -Cyan Blue

Then, using NYX Advanced Salon formula polish in - Sepia

and Cheeky jumbo stamping plate B,

I chose the pattern circled below, because it of reminded me of seaweed 

 

 These plates rock, & I'm quickly accumulating several of them.

The images are larger, so if you've got wider nail beds, 

these are perfect!

I picked this one up on Amazon.com

for $11.99 + shipping

Enchanted Polish + Lynnderella = Sparkly Cotton Candy Goodness

A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to nab some fantastic polishes from Indie brand Enchanted Polish

These are a MUST-HAVE for any holo lover, 

really, they are all completely stunning! 

The moment I saw Disco Barbie, I knew I had to have it. 

I've been searching for ages for a bright bubblegum pink holo.

OMG this doesn't disappoint! 

Flawless application in just a single coat with a medium-strength linear holo. 

YUM YUM!!

But, because I can never leave well enough alone, I grabbed another

stunner from Enchanted, called Ocean Potion, an amazing ocean Turquoise holo and sponged the tips.

And again, with me always going for the " More, is more" rule :)

I then grabbed Lynnderella's Boy-Girl Party and layered on top. 

Ahhhh perfection, Dolly style!

DELISH Sparkly Cotton Candy!

Enchanted Polish can be purchased at both Llarowe 

and Harlow & Co. 

as well as her own Etsy shop and retail for $15. each

Lynnderella polishes can also be purchased at Llarowe,

and are $15. each.

I'm in this month's issue of GO Style Magazine!

GO Style, a popular Israeli fashion magazine has featured me in June issue!

Many thanks to Yifat, 

a Facebook follower for not only mailing me the magazine, 

but also roughly translating it for me as well.

Here is the rough translation:

 - After surfing in nails blogs they arrived to Dollish Polish 

and the owner is Dolly (no one know her real identity).
Dolly creates at her online shop, custom nail polishes and they're MUST in every one that love nails.
Dolly creates polishes in colors and texture that you will never find anywhere else or with any famous brands and she give strange names to each of them that symbolize the inspiration of them like "Spank You Very Much" and "Fat Guy In A Little Coat" and a famous one "Zombie Flesh" that created by her love to horror.
Dolly talks to her fans everyday in her Facebook page and update with new colors, inspirations etc.
Her fans take pictures of them with her designs, share tips,

and enjoy talking with her on anything that relate to nails.
We don't know until when she will stay anonymous or when she will be mega brand but when it will happen you should know her!

I handed the magazine to my mother without saying for what or why,

she thumbed through it till she got to the article and just stared in silence for a long moment, finally looking up at me all glassy-eyed, and said

" OMG, that is your hand in a fashion magazine from halfway across the world!"

Yep, pretty surreal, and very exciting!

Spring Green Gradient

There is something so refreshing about Green nail polish,

I don't know what it is, but I've got more Greens

in my collection than any other shade. 

He is a super Springy Green gradient that 

I'm currently wearing & absolutely loving.

I used 3 different shades:

Sinful Colors in Innocent as the base

Then used a combo of

Maybelline Express Finish in Go-Getter Green

and

ORLY in Fresh

to create the gradient

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

Wet n Wild - Black Creme

Full tutorial on this look has been posted on 

YouTube today!

Early Weekend Mani

Model's Own in "Beth's Blue" 

with

 Dollish Polish "Hylian Princess" layered on tips.

I absolutely adore this combo!

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.

(from left to right)
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.

Speak When Spoken To
Jewels For Your Highness
Bow In My Presence
The Crown Is Mine
Born Into Privilege


These retails for $3.99 each

Weekend / Easter Mani

I'm currently working on

some new fun shades just in time for

 Spring & Summer.

Yummy pastels & vibrant brights!

This is one of my newest shades, the color is inspired by candy, 

and the name inspired by one of the best 80's songs of all time!

 

"Sweet Dreams are made of...GLITTER!"

is a delicious pale mint green cream with just a hint of shimmer,

and is loaded with varying size & shape glitters in 

lavender, pink, magenta, purple and turquoise.

 

  

This is 2 coats of 

Sweet Dreams are made of...GLITTER!

over a single coat of CQ's Pistachio.

 

 

This shade, as well as a few others will be available when

I hope everyone has a very happy and healthy holiday!

 

HAPPY EASTER!
