New Year's Eve Nails

A little late in the day to post this, but this is what I'm wearing tonight. We're going dancing in Hillcrest at Eden. Should be a fabulous time!

I used Zoya's Ginessa as the pearly white. Here you can see it before adding the embellishments.

Then I stamped with Black on Black from Sinful Colors. The plate was Konad's m64.

Finally, I glittered it up with Uninhibited from L.A. Girl, the Glitter Addict collection. By the way, I stopped by a Rite Aid last night for non-nail related business, and stumbled upon an entire display of these awesome polishes. I picked up a bunch, so in addition to the ones my sister gave me for Christmas, my collection is young, but large! If you live near a Rite Aid, see what you can grab, because these all rock.

Happy New Year!

Can you believe we're living the last day of 2011? Time flies! On my nails something festive of course. This is by far my favourite sponged mani. In real life it's much sparklier than the pictures show, totally awesome! Yesterday I posted my ten favourite manis of 2011, but I must add this mani to the list.. so a top 11 for 2011 it is, how convenient, lol. I applied two coats of Kelly from Zoya. Then I sponged half of the nail with Speciallità - Hefesto, an amazing prismatic top coat. For some extra bling I also added Blair from Essence on the tips.

Have a wonderful day/evening/night! I hope 2012 will be an amazing year for you all. :h

My top 10 for 2011 (part two)

Hi loves! The last day of 2011 and I'm posting my top 5 for the year. Don't forget that these are my personal favorites and they include polishes that were not released in 2011. Also, clicking the pictures will link you to the corresponding post. Hope you have fun reading this! 

5. Eyeko Vintage

I enjoyed wearing this jade green all spring and summer long. It was actually a staple color for me and I was also very impressed with its wear time. 

4. Nubar 2010

Only a recent purchase, but it's still very high in my list. I was wishing for flakies for a long time and I knew I would love them. Of course, I was totally right!

3. China Glaze First Mate 

The perfect blue creme for me! In this picture it has ELF Twinkle on top, but I've also enjoyed wearing it on its own. It's a good base for nail art also. 

2. Essie School of Hard Rocks

I love love love this polish! Such a unique and gorgeous shade of teal. I have never seen anything like it and the Essie formula is also great. The perfect winter shade! 

1. Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

My obsession for almost a month, this polish is so gorgeous that nothing can compare to it. I'm so glad I have this and I think it's my favorite polish at the moment. 

So this is my little list. You can comment below if you have any questions/additions/objections. This is also my last post for 2011. I want to wish you all a happy new year! I hope 2012 will be the best year ever for all of you! And I hope to talk to you soon in 2012! 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Chromey goodness

Happy New Year to everyone.

I have HUGE plans for this evening.  As a mum of a a 3 year old and a nearly 1 year old, I'll be in bed by 10:30, I'll sleep in the new year and be up at around 6:30.  I'm such a partly animal aren't I!

Despite my plans, I did put on something with a bit of zing.  This is an older polish. Sally Hansen Canary Diamond Chrome Nail Makeup.  For some stupid reason, I never got China Glaze Millennium (I only got 2030), thinking I had a good enough silver chrome.  This is nice, but I don't think it has as much of a mirror finish as Millennium.

This was only one coat over Orly bonder.  I like Orly bonder as a base for chrome polishes because it leaves a really shiny base.  Chrome polishes always show every imperfection in the nail, so a nice shiny base helps it be smooth and glossy.

Zoya Nail Polish is for stylish Moms!

Sapphire

Today's manicure is using two of the newest additions to my collection. Yesterday I bought a paint palette from Urban Outfitters containing some pretty awesome metallics and shimmers. I don't usually go for metallics, but these stuck out, so I bit the bullet. As you can see, they're all pretty gorgeous.

I used the unnamed blue you see in the package, and topped it off with something I had forgotten I wanted, Sapphire Sparkle from CND. Holy crap does this topcoat add some serious pretty to any polish.

I mean, the blue was great on its own, but one layer of Sapphire Sparkle really brought it out. You may have seen this beauty before, on Lacquerized and her post comparing the effect created by Sapphire Sparkle to a beetle. She's right! It's gorgeous!

I have Andy's mom's trainer, Robbie to thank for this amazing polish. She really hooked me up with some CND greats. You'll be seeing more soon.

You'll also get to see the haul I scored over the break, in full after I return, sometime after the third.

Don't forget that I want to host a giveaway when I reach 100 followers! I'm still deciding between glitter, and non-glitter as the prize. Any opinions on which I should go for?

Favourite Manicures of 2011

4. Dangerous Duochrome. Stamping with peripera - Metallic Green. Awesome.

5. Another blue prismatic, can't live without them. OPI DS Glamour :L

6. A franken! Confetti Sky

7. It was so hard to choose a cake matching mani... So I picked the most recent one. :i

8. Ashes & Fire. Of course I haven't forgot my sponged tips!

Picture Polish Hypnotic flakie cover

Here is the third Picture Polish flakie cover, Hypnotic.

I think the flake colours that are in this are a teal green and orangey red.  Then the teal green colour shifts to blue and the orangey red shifts to yellow/lime green.  The teal green looks more emerald green in real life too, but my camera doesn't show that.

This one seemed to been the least dense of all three, either that or I just couldn't pick up as many flakes on my brush.  The bottle certainly looks just as dense as the other two polishes, just it just didn't translate to the nail.  This is three coats over a black base, with Seche Vite top coat.  It doesn't really need the top coat as it is very glossy and smooth, but I always put on Seche Vite when I'm wearing a full mani.

I don't think this needs to be said, but this is a totally awesome polish.  I also think it is totally unique.  I thought that Finger Paints Asylum might have been similar, but checking swatches of it I think it's much more blue, whereas this is green.

Two words: LOVE IT!

My top 10 for 2011 (part one)

Hello my beautiful readers! When you will be reading this I will already be away on my new year's trip. But don't worry! I've scheduled a couple of posts to keep you entertained while I'm gone. Since there are only 2 says left of this year, I thought of doing a little list of my favorite polishes for 2011. This blog is only less than 4 months old, but I've been wearing polish all year round. This is not a top of 2011 releases. Some of these are older polishes that I've enjoyed wearing this year. If you click the pictures it will open the corresponding post. So let's get started! 

10. OPI Gone Gonzo! 

This came out in the Muppets collection this year and it was the polish I chose to wear for my birthday. So I could not leave it out of this list. The aqua glitter is truly amazing! 

9. China Glaze Blue Year's Eve 

Another winter polish from this year, a glass fleck that is every glass fleck lover's dream. And of course every blue lover's dream also. I instantly fell in love with it and I sure will be wearing it again this winter. 

8. China Glaze Glittering Garland 

A true stunner! It was really hard to chose an order for this one and Blue Year's Eve, since I equally love them and they have a special place in my heart. The shimmer in this green polish is so gorgeous that it makes me wanna wear it all the time. Also a perfect holiday shade. 

7. Essie Coat Azure 

With this one we go way back into the summer, when I wore it a lot. I didn't have a proper swatch picture of it so this is a nail art that has it as a base color. Every time I look at these pictures it makes me wonder why I don't wear this blue all the time. A special mention also goes to Smooth Sailing, another of Essie's gorgeous blues from this summer's collection. 

6. Eveline Holografic Shine 405

I really hit gold with this one! A true holo at such a low price and good staying power too. I'm impressed by this brand and would love to try more!

So that's it for the first part of my list. Tomorrow I will post my top 5 polishes for 2011 so don't miss them!

Mermaid Slippers

These nails looked like mermaid slippers to me. If Ariel wore Cinderella's slippers, this is what you'd get. (Vacation still, excuse the weeny post.)

The teal is China Glaze's Four Leaf Clover and the glitter is OPI's Crown Me Already!.

Gettin' close to 100 followers! Then a giveaway is coming your way!

UPDATE (1/20/12):

A Tumblr follower asked me to create a tutorial for this look. So here it is!
