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!!!

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!

TT: Copycat Manis

Hey ladies! For this week's TT post, I was assigned ChiChi to copy. ChiChi does a lot of beautiful nail art, so I wanted to try my hand at it today. And it wasn't half bad! But then again, I had a great start point with this post. Anyway, ChiChi actually copied this mani from this post. I'm replicating a replica! Haha :] I used Cult Nails Deal with It, Revlon Enthrall, and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for this mani.

Twinsie Tuesday: 3D [Glasses] Mani!

Happy Tuesday, ladies! I'm swamped with essays right now, so you'll have to deal with short posts for a few days. But I have plenty of pictures, so we're good on that end [for once haha]. Anyway, this week's TT challenge was to do a 3D mani. But I: A)suck at nail art-like stuff; B)don't like things sticking off of my nails [seriously, I topcoat the crap out of my glitter manis]; and C)had negative amounts of time this week, so therefore, short of sticking random crap all over my nails [pony beads crossed my mind.... no lie], I was forced to cheat. Sorry Twinsies! I know they all have some kick-ass manis to show you today, but mine is considerably less so. Though hopefully a little funny? I don't know, I'm in a weird place with this essay, so everything's funny to me right now.

[So much for a short post]. Here's my 3D glasses mani to help you see all the other wonderful manis from the Twinsies!

& for reference:

I used Revlon Aloof, Revlon Royal, Zoya Sooki, and Wet n Wild Black Creme for this mani. Not the neatest in the world, but hey. I'm hopped up on caffeine and attempting to pound out a paper, so I think I get some leeway haha.

So, grab your 3d glasses and go take a look at my Twinsie's 3D manis!

A Palate Cleanser

I've been posting [and wearing] a ton of glitters lately, so I felt the need to wear a palate cleanser mani for a little. 3 coats of Essie Marshmallow + 1 coat Revlon Calla Lily.

Isn't this pretty?? Soft white nails are one of my favorite looks, especially after a butt-ton of glitter haha.

Starlight & Sparkles Review [Part 2]

More pretties from Starlight and Sparkles for you today!

Farore [over Revlon Dreamer]

According to the listing, Farore "shifts through teal, green, light green, and gold". I definitely see the green and gold over this base, and it looks so soft to me:]

Silver Moon Crystal [over Sally Hansen Green Tea]

This is like the silvery-white version of Essie As Gold As It Gets to me. I love this kind of chunky flaky shimmer! Plus, this just looks like green tea ice cream:]

Nayru [over Cult Nails Time Traveler]

Favorite!! This is what I wore all last weekend, it's so. stinking. pretty. It looks like twinkling galaxies on your nails. It's one of my favorite layering combinations, definitely. The listing says that Nayru "shifts through turquoise, blue, and violet" and I definitely saw all of those color shifts IRL. Ugh! stunning.

Again, you can purchase these polishes [and many more stunners!] here at Starlight and Sparkles. I absolutely recommend these polishes! Go take a look now!

TT: Cars

Happy Twinsie Tuesday! Our posts today are supposed to be nails that are the same color as your car, which posed a problem for me, considering I don't have a car. So instead, I did nails inspired by the most famous car I can think of:

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I AM just that cool. I had some really disastrous nail art fails before I decided to go with a ruffian. I used Zoya Sooki and Revlon Zealous for this look.

 One day, I will master the lightning bolt on my nails. Till then, ruffian manis! ;]

Shimmahhh: Part 2

Here's the rest of my shimmers for you! :] Same deal, pictures first, talk later.

Rochelle

2 coats alone

LtoR: Revlon Velvet Rope, Revlon Runway Pearl, OPI Steady as She Rose, Revlon Royal

Tracy

2 coats

LtoR: SH Barely Bluebell, Revlon Royal, Revlon Runway Pearl, Joe Fresh Moss

Like the last Shimmer post, these polishes all had an amazing formula. There was so much glitter packed in there! I was amazed. And again, really smooth application, no issues there. I wasn't expecting Rochelle to have a tinted base. This wasn't at all a bad thing, just a surprise.

Shimmer polishes can be found here for $12 a pop :] These polishes were provided to me in exchange for an open and honest review. All thoughts are my own and unbiased.

Twinsie Tuesday: Somewheeeeeeeeeeeeeere Over the Rainbooooww!

Happy Tuesday all! Today we have for you our rainbow manis:] I've always wanted to do one of those nail art manis that goes across all your nails and I though a rainbow would be a great time to try it.. until I realized it was late Monday night, and I'm buried under my work. So you get a Sarah version of nail art [read: extremely easy with little real skill involved]! I used Revlon Powder Puff, Sally Hansen Red Carpet, Nubar Night Sparkle, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle, and KBShimmer Witch Way? for this look:]

Like it? I know it's cheating a little, but I count it ;]

Make sure to look at all the other rainbows today!

Shimmahhhh: Part 1

I got some great Shimmer polishes to show you today. I'm gonna spam you with pictures, then talk after.

Adrienne

2 coats

LtoR: Revlon Royal, Revlon PowderPuff, Essie Bikini So Teeny, American Apparel Butter

Mary

3 coats

LtoR: Revlon Velvet Rope, OPI Steady as She Rose, China Glaze Sunset Sail, Misa Grey Matters

Both of these had great formulas and were easy to work with and honestly looked so stunning to me. I particularly liked Mary, those slightly bigger black glitters had my heart! I will say though, that while I didn't have any CS problems or anything, I've heard of some CS inconsistencies. So take that for what you will:]
