Twinsie Tuesday: International Choice

Hey all! So all of my posts now will be scheduled since I'm in Cali for camp for about a month. So for today, Roisin asked us to do a mani based on Ireland. I was super crunched for time, so I decided to show one of my favorite polishes ever: Pahlish Creeping Cabbage. The green jelly base with the orange accents definitely reminds me of Ireland's colors. Though I've never been there, I would LOVE to go some day.

Anyway, CC took just 2 coats and seriously, just look at that. This shade of green plus the round glitters is definitely up my alley.

TT July Fourth

I seriously keep forgetting when Tuesdays are and I'm the worst. Also, I FINALLY got a new laptop and can now actually go online for more than 5 minutes before my computer poops out on me. I'm in love. Okay, so here's my super fast Fourth of July mani:

I used Orly Royal Navy with a white glitter one-off I made, then DL Stop and Stare with CG Ring in the Red as the glitter topper.

Stay tuned tomorrow for some major nail spam!

Zoya Liberty, or How to Get Horrific Stains Off Your Nails

This polish.... Oh man. So stunning, but SO STAINY. I can't even handle it. I mean, I completely love this polish and would probably wear it again, but..... not for a long time. Okay, so gaze upon the gorgeousness.

I mean. Stunning, right? And I wore the crap out of it for 3 days. But then (FULL STAIN AHEAD, BEWARE):

DUNDUNDUNNN. This is gross. Like,  what even. It would have stained my skin also, but I coated the skin around my nails with cuticle oil. 

So then I put whitening toothpaste on my nails for just over 5 minutes anddddddddd

Still not great, but, buffer to the rescue!

Begone, demon stains!


Anyone have an easier way to get stains off your nails? Or any other polishes that are this... stainy?

Twinsies Hit the Beach!

For this week's TT, we were charged with posting beach inspired nails! And I've had a sucky streak with nail art this summer, so I thought I'd stick to the usual and show you an early franken I made a few years ago. I was going through my collection recently and purging and found this polish, a nude that I made for myself, but with a little something extra:] If this had a name, I've totally forgotten it, but this is a warm nude with gold shimmer and iridescent blue microglitter :]

TT: Textured Nails

I'm the absolute worst, I've been apartment hunting and forget to publish this post, but here's Sally Hansen Sweetie for our textured nails of the day! I had 2 coats on here, and the polish went on really well, no problems with thickness or anything (though I've seen reviews that say otherwise, so I'm thinking maybe batch inconsistencies?).



I like this shade of yellow a lot, and I'm still on board the whole textured train, so I was a pretty big fan of this polish:] I hear there's some new Sugar Coat  polishes coming out, and I definitely have my eye on a few of them!

Rainbow Honey Fab Summer Set

*Polishes in this post were provided for review in exchange for my honest review*

Hey all! I have some wonderful polishes for you today from Rainbow Honey. These three are from the Fab Summer Set, which are sold at fab.com! The set would be three full sized polishes, though the ones I have today to show are minis. Sidenote, how cute are these new RH mini bottles? Love them.

Okay, the formula on all three of these is great. I used 2 coats of the shimmers and then topped them with Costa Del Sol. Both Tenda and Schrammi covered beautifully in 2 coats, and all the polishes were super easy to apply! CDS covered and spread really well, also. All in all, super happy with all of these:] I really love the copper shimmer in Tenda and Schrammi.. so beautiful.

Belated TT- Neon Gradient

Sorry this is late, guys, but my computer totally pooped out on me and it only works in spurts. So here we are! Anyway, this week's challenge was to get marching orders from another Twinsie! So my orders were from Marisa at Polish Obsession and I was instructed to do a neon gradient! I used Orly Pretty-Ugly, China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle, and Wet n Wild Glowstick.





This was my first successful gradient! And I was totally obsessed, I wore it for 4 whole days. Only when it started chipping did I have the heart to take it off. I just love these 3 polishes together so much. Thank you for this challenge Marisa! I honestly never would have done this mani otherwise:]

Twinsie Tuesday: Blogger Inspired

Hey all! For today's post, we had to do a mani inspired by another blogger, and I went for the wonderful Sarah from Chalkboard Nails: http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2012/10/blue-and-pink-gradient-dots-tutorial.html?m=1. I based my mani on this tutorial! I used Orly Boho Bonnet as the base, and Zoya Yana and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the dots:) Enjoy!

TT: Spring-to-Summer Transition

Happy Twinsie Tuesday! Today, we're showing you a polish that goes from spring to summer, and I have one of my favorite polishes of the year to show you:] I got on board with the whole Pixie-dust, textured glitter thing a while ago, but I didn't think I'd like non-glitter, texture polishes. Well, I'm gonna have to eat my words, because I'm totally obsessed with SH Sugar Coat Razzleberry. I could not stop looking at my nails. I love the shade and I actually like the texture (surprise!), and I love it for both spring and summer! It's so bright and happy. The downside- I got majorrrrrrr staining on the skin around the nails and some staining of the nail itself with this polish (even with basecoat). So I need to find a way around that ASAP. Here's two coats:

Liquid Lacquer Review Post!

*Some of the polishes in this post were provided to me for my honest review, others were purchased with my own money*

Hey all! I have some seriously great polishes to show you today. They're from the wonderful Liquid Lacquer,  and I am so excited to show them to you all!

A Calm Does Not Suit Me

Uhm, hi, how great is this one? It reminds me of snow, which is great when I'm dying of the humidity in Jersey. ACDNSM is a gorgeous polish, and it was opaque in 2 coats on me! I love the way the glitters look like they're floating in the whtie crelly base. And such a good choice on the glitter colors, it's not a crazy rainbow jumble, and it goes so well all together.
Formula: great! Lots of glitter on the nail, covered VNL easily.

Collide into You

CiY took me 3 thin coats, but so worth it! This is on its own, and I am obsessed with the magenta circles with this shade of turquoise! I also really love how this shade looks on me, so it was a definite winner.
Formula: good! Glitter was easy to get onto nail, not too thick base.

Damn It's Cold over Essie Boxer Shorts

This glitter is in a clear base, so I put it over Boxer Shorts. This polish, to me, reminds me of  ACDNSM, just not in a crelly base. Like it's the same color family, but you can put it over anything:] I saw a swatch of it over dark blue, over at A Little Polish... loooove!
Formula: good amount of glitter with one coat!

Hydra over Sally Hansen Ion

Yes yes yes. This is all sorts of perfect! And probably my favorite glitter topper I have in my collection. I'm obsessed with the color combinations on this one! The different shaped mint and grey glitters are so subtly beautiful together! I wore this mani twice in two weeks, I loved how it looked on the nail. Also the stars? Perfect.
Formula: good! easy to get  smaller glitters on nail, a tiny bit of fishing to get stars.

Kissing on the Rooftop over OPI Funny Bunny

Okay, all the yellowy or orangey parts you see there? Ignore them and imagine them as iridescent glitter. Makes the whole mani a zillion times better, trust me. 
Formula: also great, not hard to get stars, iridescent glitters are abundant in one coat.

Quarter Life Crisis over China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On

Love the circles so much in this, and the color combination is really fun for spring and summer!
Formula: eh, not as good as hoped, just wish there was more glitter in the base, had to do some digging and placing here.

Rain Song

Stunninggggggggggg. You need this. Right now. I LOVE unexpected holo colors and this is in my top 5 holos. The effect is definitely more linear IRL, trust me. And the shade is gorrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous. Get it. Now.
Formula: great! Two coats, and good to go.




In conclusion- just trust me and get Rain Song and Hydra, because I love them too much. It's not even funny. Totally great polishes, great customer service, and fast shipping. Definitely go check out Liquid Lacquer! I can't wait to place another order. I'm definitely in need of more holos from her!

Some LynBDesigns Polishes!

*Polishes in post were provided for my honest review*

Hey all! I have some really fun polishes from LynBDesigns from her Twitterpatted collection. Just a note on formula: all of these polishes had a smooth formula with no difficulty of getting nice sparkle on the nail. All were sheer, and so I have some layering options for you below:] 4 coats on index finger for all of these pictures, then one coat over differing base colors for my middle to pinky nails.

Dharma: Alone, over OPI You Only Live Twice, Orly Wild Wisteria, and CG Snap My Dragon. 
This was a super fun color! I've been really into pinks lately and this has some gorgeous blue shimmer running through it. I loved it over the OPI, it took the polish to the next level.



Verna: Alone, over Revlon Royal, SH Breezy Blue, Zoya Natty
Okay, I think Verna over Royal is amazing, but I also loved it over the light blue! Very pretty!! Like 



Harriet: alone, over BL The Old Bill, OPI My Vampire is Buff, Cult Nails Bitten.
Favorite look: alone! It's such a complex shimmer this has going on, and I really liked it with my skin tone. A huge huge fan of this one!


Millie: alone, over Essie Where's my Chauffeur?, Revlon  Velvet Rope, CG Manhunt

Stella: alone, over Essie Where's my Chauffeur?, Revlon  Velvet Rope, CG Manhunt

Okay, these two clearly can't be worn alone, but I LOVE THEM. These are my favorites of the collection! They're just both really delicate and sparkly without being overbearing and just..ahh. Yes. They're both so pretty over WMC? !!

PS Please check out my blog sale here ! Some ass broke off my passenger mirror on my car and I'm selling my excess polishes to pay for it. Thank you!!!

TT: Fictional Animal Print Mani

First, I want to start off my saying that my prayers are with all those affected yesterday in Boston. I have many dear friends in the city (who are all safe, thank God), and the news was truly heartbreaking.

Second, and this segue sucks, here's some sparkly stuff for you to look at! So I have 2 different manis, since I couldn't decide which one was less awkward. I LOVE the layering I did for the first one, but then nail art... not my thing, as you'll see. Here's my attempt at making a (holographic and sparkly) dragon:

1 coat Nars Zulu, 1 coat LA Girls Teal Dimension, 1 coat Wet N Wild Emerald The Crown Jewel. See what I mean?! THIS, I can get behind!

This.... nope.

So then I tried doing a unicorn "print" with layering. I had some milky pink jelly (totally blanking on the name, sorry!) and I sandwiched Lacquistry's Chick-a-dee doo-da in between coats of that, then topped it with Lynnderella Bride of Franken.

Trust me on this, it looked way better in person. The iridescent glitter just came out yellow in pictures :/

TT: Sweet Sixteen

So I'm gonna start by saying that sweet sixteen me probably would have had each nail painted a different color, because that made me funky or something. BUT the mani I loved most (though I could never do it myself, especially since I used to bite my nails) was a French manicure. I absolutely loved getting tips on for special occasions. Looking back at it... Yeah, not too big a fan anymore haha.

My favorite color!

Happy Tuesday morning everyone! It's gorgeous outside over in Jersey and I'm so sad I'm stuck working till 5. Blah! I just want to lay outside all day haha. Anyway, I wasn't sure if today's TT post was supposed to be our favorite color to wear on our nails or just favorite color in general. So I went with favorite in general, yellow!, though none of my yellow polishes make any top 20 lists or anything. I find yellows just too hard to work with, so I'd rather wear yellow clothes than yellow nail polish! My prom dress was actually yellow, and so is my room. And for the longest time, I wanted a yellow car too:) So without further ado, I give to you the first yellow polish I found in my stash, Revlon Zealous (shown with 3 coats here). This isn't my favorite shade of yellow, but it'll do!
