Get Your Green On

I was one of the lucky ones who got the 
news early about Zoya's
"Get Your Green On" promo event the other week.
All 3 polishes, Suvi, Shawn, & Ivanka, for just $5

Zoya sold out within hours, which just goes to show 
peoples love for Green!
Myself included in that, these polishes arrived yesterday,
and boy oh boy, they do not disappoint.



 
Some of the most stunning shades of 
Green I've come across in a LONG time.
So much so, that I created a new set of nails for my shop,
Dollish Polish, using 2 of the colors.
I have to apologize to everyone, because I know some of 
you have wondered and even asked me what ever happened 
with my nail shop.
After the name change fiasco,
 I do not think I ever formally announced the
re-naming & grand re-opening of the shop.

I asked my YouTube subscribers to help me 
come up with a new name, and then vote on their favorite, 
thus Dollish Polish was born.

At my shop, you will find a selection of my hand-painted 
nail art, as well as various nail art supplies, 
such a rhinestones, fimo, dotting tools, and more.

So, please, feel free to check it out. 
And if you are a follower of my blog/YouTube, 
then enjoy a 20% discount on any order, 
by simply typing in the code FOLLOWDOLLY during your checkout.

The new nail designs 
will be up and available on the shop by then end of the day.

Birthday Mani

As some of you may know, Wednesday was my birthday
and it's been a whirl wind of a week!
I plan to share my birthday spoils with all of you
in a post sometime next week,
including China Glaze's Crackle Collection.
But in the meantime, I wanted to share my birthday mani,
that I'm really in love with.

The combo of colors, and veining of the crackle, 
reminds me of a Turquoise stone.

This is Model's Own "Becca's Brown"
with China Glaze crackle in " Crushed Candy"
layered on top.



Bold turquoise jewelry is so hot for this Spring, 
this mani just makes me crave for it to arrive even sooner!

Comfort Zone (Smokey Eye)

So here is another eye look with the 
new 8-pan Wet n Wild palettes,
this is a sultry, smokey green eye using
Comfort Zone




Here are some swatches
 

 ( left side )

                                                                       ( right side )




This palette is very pigmented, and the colors are all stunning.
My only complaint is that there are no mattes.
The color in the far bottom right corner is a dupe for
MAC's Club shadow. The duochrome is amazing, however,
the base is WAY too red for my skin tone.
When I use this color, I always use it over another color,
to allow the duochrome to shine, but without the red, 
which is what I did here.








Starting with Palladio Eyeshadow Primer
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in - Horseradish on the lid
#6 on the lid
#7 in the crease
#1 in inner corner & highlight
#4 in Outer V 
#8 on top of #4 on Outer V
Jordana Easy Liner in - Seagreen across top lash line and outer corner of bottom lash line
#6 center bottom lash line
#1 inner corner bottom lash line
Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara in - Very Black 


These palettes are really so gorgeous, and the great news is, 
they are NOT limited addition, so if you haven't picked these up, 
but were thinking about it,
I HIGHLY recommend them.


Tons of possible eye looks with this single palette alone.


Interested in seeing more? Just let me know!

Weekend Mani

Tomorrow I've got to HUGE
party to attend and I wanted something unique, 
something that would really stand out.

from fellow YouTuber and AMAZING artist, 
This is her Shattered Glass look



I'm in LOVE with it! The holographic pigment is to die for!
If you aren't familiar with Robin's work, I HIGHLY recommend 
you check her out.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

FINALLY!!

After what seemed like years of endless searching,
I FINALLY found the Wet n Wild 8-pan palettes!

YAY!!

 Blue Had Me At Hello

  
&
Comfort Zone


While Petal Pusher seemed pretty, the color tones in 
the palette do not suit me, so I just picked up these two.

Like WnW's previous palette's, the colors are beautiful and pigmented, 
and I am already hearing talk of some possible dupes.
Here is Blue Had Me At Hello, swatched.





Ignoring the fact that I clearly cannot take a 
decent makeup photo to save my life, I wanted to show 
you this icy blue look I created with this gorgeous palette.





Since the shadows are not named, I've numbered 
them so I can list what I've used.



Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden - as base
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Pots & Pans - over lid 
WnW #2 over lid
WnW # 5 inner corner, swept onto lid
MAC in Brule' as transition & highlight
WnW #3 in crease
WnW #4 in outer V
CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara in Very Black (top lashes)
NYX Long Lash Mascara in Electric Blue ( bottom lashes)

I'll be sure post swatches and eye looks of Comfort Zone soon!
