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!

Picture Polish Peacock

Hi ladies! It's Monday, which is my busiest day of the week, so I'm running around all day like a madwoman. Also, I'm hungry. And I'm severely disappointed in my current mani and I'm really itching to take it off, but again... Busy Monday. Blah! 

Okay. I'll stop complaining. Do you wanna see Peacock instead?? Probably haha. Here's 2 coats, more talking after:] 

There's some itty bitty bar glitters in here that really intrigue me! I love this polish so much. So so so much. I want to wear it again right now!! The formula was great, and the the purple base is PACKED with emerald glitter, so I'm a happy camper. Also, you should know how I feel about glitter and shimmer together. It makes my sparkle-loving heart just so happy! Also, this makes me want other Picture Polishes so badly. Monroe, anyone?! Drool.

Anyway, I've been crazy busy this semester already, and I want to sleep about 80% of the time, so I'm sorry my blog posts haven't been too long recently! I just started reading a new book though, and it's making me happier [I think] and more relaxed. I always forget to take a few minutes to just do nothing and I'm definitely one of those people that needs that, you know? I used to meditate a little bit, and I'm definitely thinking that I'll need to bring that back. So hopefully I'll be back to normal-ish soon:] But till then, sorry if I seem a little terse! I still love you all so much <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

Gomez

It's the weekend! I'm pooped from this week, and I still have so much work to do, so this will be a short post. But, it has a lot of bling! I wore this mani right after school started, I was a big fan of it:] 2 coats of Essie Boxer Shorts + 1 coat of Crows Toes Gomez. mmmm. The Essie formula was perfect. The Crows Toes... eh. All of the ones I've tried from CT are really thick. The upside is the glitter payoff, but it's not a lot of fun to work with. I need to thin this out before I wear it next time, definitely. 

It's so glowy!

I love the way this catches the light and the color of the giltters:] Instead of traditional silver, it's a gunmetal color and to me, it makes it so much more interesting. Absolutely a great color combination in Gomez!

The Great Purge of 2012!

So I went on a purging SPREE and now I'm having a blog sale:] Go take a look, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like!

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:]

Secret Copycat TT:]

Heehee, I love this Twinsie Tuesday theme. We did a secret copy cat mani from a random draw, I got Jenn from All That is Gorgeous! I wanted to recreate a recent mani she just did had, from Starry Earth: Lion of Valor :] I loved this mani on Jenn a lot, so I got out 2 of my polishes and tried to do my best to do it justice!

How do you like my take on Jenn's gorgeous mani?? I'd kill for her nail beds, seriously. How perfect are they? Gah. nail bed envy. Is that a thing? It is now. Anyway, this is 2 coats of Zoya Sooki [which was a definite surprise love for me] and Lynnderella Golden Rules. Other than the stars, I think my take on Jenn's mani has the same feel!

P.S. Happy birthday, Tara!! <3 lady="lady" love="love" p="p" you="you">
