Sinful Colors Let's Talk & Funky Fingers Anna

I swatched too long last night, ran out of time, and had to paint my nails in the car after I got to work this morning. Clean up? Please. lol
This is Sinful Colors Let's Talk, an amazing electric purple and Funky Fingers glitter Anna from their Frostbitten aka Frozen collection.
Two coats of Let's Talk covers well, but I really don't recommend polishing in the car. : P


Bundle Monster Sun-Kissed Collection 2014

I'm so happy with these! When the design transfers nicely, it's like magic! lol

I wasn't done wearing the combination of China Glaze Take a Trek and Hit Polish Pegasus, so I added some stamping from Bundle Monster's 2014 Sun Kissed collection. I purchased the set off Amazon and I love the designs.
I had to redo my thumbs, so I used China Glaze OMG a UFO and Sci-Fly By from the same Hologlam collection. The green in OMG a UFO didn't show through Pegasus as well in person, the blues did the best I think.
I'm so impressed how even the mermaid's teeny hand and arm stamped cleanly, especially since I'm only using the little pink stamper that came with the small Essence intro to stamping set I picked up at Ulta. My Cheeky stamper from Amazon is on its way... any day now! I may *also* be expecting plate packages from Born Pretty, Messy Mansion, AND Loja BBF! SQUEE!!

Hit Polish Pegasus & China Glaze Take a Trek

I really love discovering new companies that not only make a great product, but have reasonable prices and lovely customer service!

I placed an order with Hit Polish through their Storenvy site and I'm so glad I did! My only wish is that I could have purchased more! I've been enjoying the cuticle oils I received and I just tried out this amazing glitter polish last night.
Pegasus, besides having an awesome name, is really lovely. There's a ton of silver/irridescent shimmer and larger holographic glitters. The formula is a good kind of thick and all you need is one coat! I layered it over a coat of China Glaze Take a Trek... I think the blue pairs so nicely with the glitters and it looks so pegasus-y!


Finger Paints Enchanted Winter 2.0

Huh, I forgot that I'd posted about this polish before... well, more pics!

This is two easy peasy coats of Finger Paints Enchanted Winter, a coppery textured polish. I used this because I know it's pretty, application is simple, and it dries fairly quickly.
All good things when you've spent the entire evening swatching colors, not feeling any of them, and you have to throw something on because people would express concern at your stained nekkid nails at work the next morning. lol

Nicole by OPI My Cherry Amour

Sparkly! This is two coats of Nicole by OPI My Cherry Amour, part of their Gumdrops collection.

The polish dried matte and kind of dull, I like it better with some top coat. Eat top coat, it does though! This is two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri and it's still kind of bumpy, but that's ok.
With this much top coat, I feel like this polish could last a month! lol

Orly Rococo A-Go-Go & Sally Hansen Debut-Tint

This is a couple coats of Orly Rococo A Go-Go, then a thin layer of Sally Hansen's gold shimmer Debut-Tint.
I'm not super thrilled with this look, it's nice and all, but I think I'll be doing something different tonight. It reminds me of Seche Nostalgic, which I have and love, but if I wanted that look I would've work that! lol


Halloween swirl! aka my first nail 'art'

So, this happened last night! I really haven't ventured into nail art, other than beginning stamping. I saw this tutorial online and since I was swatching last night anyway, I figured what the hey.

I was actually really impressed with myself! LOL
I used thick side-by-side swipes of Sinful Colors Black on Black and Orly Chica Boom then swirled them together with a largish needle.
I wasn't quite ready for a full-on Haloween look yet, so sadly it got removed... but I'll definitely be doing this look a bit later in the month! I also want to try neons, just because... : )
