Color Club Modern Mosaic Collection (part one)

Image
Hey guys!! I'm super excited to show yall these! This is the new Color Club Modern Mosaic collection, filled with matte teeeeeeeny tiny glitters! I found this in my Bed Bath and Beyond (purchased myself, with coupon ) and I don't even think they are officially released yet! There's a ton of pics so I'll just get right to them with my thoughts at the end! In this post I will show all of these polishes on a bare nail, which is not really how they are intended to be worn, I don't think....but I wanted to show yall the actual colors. More on that later! Each of these swatches is 2 coats, no base or topcoat! This is Pixi-lated, a mix of dark fuchsia, light fuchsia, and white glitters. The overall effect is pink! Pixi-lated Pixi-lated macro Next is Orange Crush, which is actually a mix of white, peach, and yellow glitters. The overall effect is orange, but because of the actual colors of the glitters I don't totally hate it! :) This one was the t...

Jamberry ombre

Image
Hey guys! I have another Jamberry post for you! In addition to the sample set I received and reviewed here . I have a full set of pink ombre. I am so terrible at ombre with polish so I was excited to get these! I wanted to show different ways you can use these. First up is just wearing the full set. I did have better luck with them laying flatter by stretching them while applying. sun Next is using the Jamberries as your main nail and using glitter as an accent. This is a way you can stretch your set! Glitter shown is OPI Excuse Moi. sun Finally I have 2 Jamberries flanking texture. This a really fun way to mix it up! Polish shown is OPI Pussy Galore, a pale pink sparkly texture. sun Jamberry Nails are nail wraps you can apply at home in fifteen minutes or less!! Lasting up to 2 weeks on fingernails and up to 6 weeks on toenails, these heat-activated beauties are sure to become a staple in your wardrobe .

Image
Hey Guys! I have something really fun for you today! The ACM's (Academy of Country Music) are next weekend and I thought I'd do some more award-show themed nails to go along with it!  They are held in Las Vegas every year! I just so happen to have access to an ACTUAL ACM award....awesome right! It's totally real and won fair and square.  No, I'm not saying exactly how, but the few of you that read this that know me in real life know how. This thing was heavy!! First off, I'd like to thank God, my family, my friends, my fingers and the sun. Hi kids, go to bed now, momma loves you.  Man, this thing is heavy! And, World Peace.  ACM Award! Here's the bottle shots. I used a ton of polishes for this! Mostly all OPI! 1st finger: gold is OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby and black is OPI Onyx 2nd finger: green is OPI Jade is the New Black and b/w is Onyx and a white striper 3rd finger: OPI Onyx for background, mic is OPI Push and Shove with OPI Which is Witch on...

Pop neons

Image
Hey guys!! I'm so excited to finally share these! My husband picked these up for me on a recent trip to New York...I've never heard of this brand before but they had a ton of colors! He found them in a Duane Reade in Times Square. I requested a few neons because, believe it or not, I have no neons! Well, I do have one, its a lime green Salon Perfect, and I've only used it once (for my Seattle Seahawks nails I did here ) I just love the bottles too! They are thin rectangular bottles. How awesome are these colors??? BOY ARE THEY BRIGHT!!!  Pop neons This is twelve, Pinky (they are numbered and named). This is a BRIGHT pink creme. I've heard true neons dry matte? If that's the case then this is not. In all these pics on my middle finger I have just the polish alone, and on all other fingers I have a white base down first. In all pics I used 3 coats of color.  I've seen that a lot of times with neons a white base is needed to really make the colors pop bu...

OPI Gwen Stefani Collection......part 2

Image
So....remember how I said I wasn't going to buy another pink? Well....um..... I blame Sally's. I mean, they just started carrying OPI, and then they just got this collection in January, and now they are already on clearance????? A girl can only be so strong. I was completely happy with just the silver and gold. (Which I reviewed and swatched here ) Well, pretty much. So, I picked up the pink. and MAN is it purrrrty. And, by the way, I DON'T have another pink like it. It sits right between Shorts Story and Kiss Me I'm Brazilian. And then, one week later, I got an email from Sally saying they were having another 50% off clearance event. Which is exactly   why I didn't buy any more than I did earlier.... my spidey-nail-polish sense was telling me they were due. So I got my rear end in there and got the rest of the set. $2.25 is the lowest price I've ever paid for OPI, you better believe I'm not passing that up! I did purchase a "few" (pretend fing...
