<br />
Hello! Today I have a combo that is a fail for me because I thought London was going to dry a tad lighter than it did. Also, I paired it with my beloved Sweet that I haven't worn in ages and I thought it was lighter. This was a potential Easter mani I was trying out, but its just a tad too dark as I wanted a pastel look. None the less I did enjoy this mani to pieces for an entire week with minimal tip wear. I used two coats of both London and Sweet. The formula on London just like the other two I've tried so far is thick but nice. A surprise was that the dry time was pretty fast, just under 10 minutes to get to the finish shown below.<br />

<br />
<br />
Hello Loves! Long time no post huh? That is a whole other topic to get into in a little bit more detail when I get my computer and it all set up. So today I have two Zoya lovelies to share with you. I've been rockin' the shorties for about 5 months now, so I wanted to wear the darker shades first before pastel obsession kicks in for me and I itch for longer nails. The formula on both was just a teeny tiny bit thick, but in the best way for a polish of this texture. I used two thin coats of Dahlia (black), and 1 coat of Chyna (red). Chyna was sooo pigmented, and reminds me of the many different Ruby Slippers. Both were very glittery in person, but it didn't quite translate in the photos with my dinosaur of a camera (have a new one now YAY). Dry time was super fast on the first coat for Dahlia, but a bit slower when the second coat was applied. Chyna took longer to dry than two coats of Dahlia, and it was only one coat. In all it took about 15-20 minutes for them to be full dry. Removal was super easy, and there was no staining at all.<br />

Are you loving the Pixies as much as I am? Is the textured finish your thing, or are you passing it up altogether. I chose to wear them as mani's instead of posting the whole collection at once, because I fell in love and didn't want to take it off. Thanks for reading loves, and see you with the next combo. P.S My posting will be back to normal like old times when my new computer is all set up :)</div>

Its been a looooong while and I truly am sorry about that, but A LOT has been going on and I just need to take care of things that are going on in my life. I do miss all of you and blogging dearly though. Tons of swaps and hauls to swatch and share with you, and also a lot that I swatched but have yet to edit and post. With Picnik closing and my refusing to spend buckets on PS, I had to reach out for help on Twitter and I finally found good (so far) new home to edit my pictures. Hopefully this month I can get back to my old routine and schedule posts daily. I noticed that I've had a few swatches sitting in my drafts, I know bad bad me. What I have to share with you today is 2 colors from China Glaze Capitol Colors Collection.<br />
<br />
<strong>Harvest Moon</strong>: <em>Crystallized Copper Shimmer</em>. Is a copper foil with a rainbow assortment of micro glitter. Initially I really thought I would really dislike this color and I generally steer clear of shades like this because they wash me out BUT I LOVE IT! The formula was amazing and it reached full opacity in 2 thin coats. Dry time was average, nothing to write home about. No top coat used for this swatch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ZJCZ4Nl_mlWAXQOjfEBPEEdTXCLW56zdRXvyZQ5rDkhGEkBReMi7Ia8SFVMzOj4Nj89qd7Luzz8RKCH29sexCsXNPxHcM2ERVNF9DM_he4D43Aea6pJUs7S53qWJ3OtchWPBV2tN6e7n/s1600/DSC08254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" mea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ZJCZ4Nl_mlWAXQOjfEBPEEdTXCLW56zdRXvyZQ5rDkhGEkBReMi7Ia8SFVMzOj4Nj89qd7Luzz8RKCH29sexCsXNPxHcM2ERVNF9DM_he4D43Aea6pJUs7S53qWJ3OtchWPBV2tN6e7n/s640/DSC08254.jpg" width="356" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Electrify</strong>: <em>High-wattage gold and ruby red glitter blend</em>. Not much to really add to that description because its spot on. Formula was actually not bad for this to be such a jammed packed glitter. I applied 2 thin coats over Harvest Moon to get this look. I think at 3 coats it would have reached opacity on its own. This baby is a top coat eater so your going to need to double up. I'm not particularly crazy about this polish, because I feel like it belongs in the holiday season maybe?... I know that's when I will most likely bring it out again to use for nail art. </div>

I'm sharing my blue mani for World Autism Awareness Day. If you are unfamiliar with autism and what the cause is about, please head on over to the <a href="http://www.autismspeaks.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">website</span></a> and read up on it. Today I'm sharing <strong>Nail the Bytch Jelly Jeans Queen</strong> with you today. JJQ is a slate blue jelly with a beautiful blue micro shimmer that's fully opaque in 2 coats. The formula is a little on the thin side and was a tad streaky on the first coat, but leveled out perfectly smooth on the second. Dry time is amazingly fast, and it dries to a nice high gloss finish. The swatches below are 2 coats with no top coat. <br />

What do you think of JJQ? I really love this polish, its the perfect shade of blue. The third picture is with flash so you can see the subtle shimmer that doesn't show up in the other two, but its true color is the first two pictures. Today is World Autism Awareness Day, but the whole month for the US is National Autism Awareness Month. Any support of the cause no matter how small means a lot to this cause. Its not to late to <a href="http://www.lightitupblue.org/Markslist/home.do" target="_blank"><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Shine A Light On Autism</strong></span></a><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>.</strong></span> Nail the Bytch polish can be purchased directly from their <a href="http://nailthebytch.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><strong>website</strong></span></a> for $6USD.

Today I have 3 fun polishes to share with you from <strong><a href="http://nailthebytch.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Nail the B.y.t.c.h</span></a></strong>. I had the opportunity to chose which ones I would like to share with my lovelies. I picked just 6 random colors, some I like and some that I normally wouldn't go for just to be completely open. I will be sharing the first 3 with you today. I love the meaning behind the name Be Your Own True Heroine, the reasoning behind the name is very empowering. Below is the description behind the name:<br />
<br />
<em>Nail the B.Y.T.C.H is more than just a novelty nail polish line. We would like to think of it as our own little movement. There are so many ways of labeling ourselves in today’s society. Some labels are frowned upon and some are empowering. We are definitely all about empowerment and positivity. Nail the B.Y.T.C.H wants our consumer to Be Your True Creative Heroine. This allows us to take a hard look at the label of being a bitch and the negative connotations thrown out so freely and extract its venom. Fashion, cosmetics and even music help us define who we are in the world down to the smallest of details. Why not the color of our nails? Nail polish, nail art and design have always been an important part of any fashion trend. This is why we are supplying the perfect instrument for Being Your True Creative Heroine without being offensive. Hummm…We are some clever little Bytches aren’t we! Choose from our palette of nail lacquer that grants you an opportunity to be bold and true to your inner heroine. You decide which B.Y.T.C.H to use as your mode of self expression.</em><br />
<br />
All swatches below are two coats and no top coat unless I specify otherwise. Lets take a look at what I have to share with you today :)<br />
<br />
<strong>Cup My Cakes </strong>is a very bright (almost neon) peach creme. Application was a piece of cake (very bad pun LOL) because of the amazing formula. I thought it would be a streaky nightmare after the first coat, but it was completely opaque at two and leveled out perfectly.<br />

<strong>Fruity Cutie Butte </strong>is a lovely lavender creme. FCB is how the baby would look of Essie's Play Date and OPI's Rumples Wiggin', that's how I would describe this particular shade of purple. Formula and application for this baby is the same as CMC with two easy coats and a great formula. I just can't get over the shine with no tc!<br />

<strong>Pretty Slick Bytch </strong>is a very pretty bright tangerine orange with silver micro shimmer. Application on this one was not so good, as are with most frosts. PSB was an absolute streaky mess, and took three coats to look somewhat decent. I've never painted so slow and carefully in my life, and there are still some brush strokes! Dry time was on the slower side than the cremes, even with fast drying top coat that I added in hopes of minimizing the appearance of streaks (fail). I don't like this one for my skin tone, so its definitely my least favorite out of the bunch.<br />

<em>Jennifer Smith and Lanaia Edwards founded Tru Duo LLC, makers of Nail the B.Y.T.C.H. in October 2010. They are cousins from Chicago who always dreamed of owning their own business and finally saw it into reality. Collectively, with over 10 years experience in the Beauty Industry, their passion ignited them to launch this daring line of nail lacquers. Nail the B.Y.T.C.H is about being Bold…Expressive…Being Your True Creative Heroine! This brand will feature exuberant, bold colors and names that appeal to the edgy, everyday consumer who wants to be their own fashionista. These two women weren’t afraid to be brave, forward and a tad controversial. If you were to consider either of them a Bytch, well it will be on their terms. That’s the Motto.</em><br />

What do you think of the first 3 lovely shades I'm sharing? I like all 3 colors even thought I think PSB doesn't go well with my skin tone. I can't wait to see what Jennifer and Lanaia come up with for their summer collection. Thanks for stopping by :o)<br />

Today I have Black and White with glitters to share with you for Day 7. Originally when I saw this day I said that it would be my chance to use my Nubar Black and White Dots, but I passed because I thought there might be a chance that one of my other challenge mates might do it at some point during this challenge. This one really stumped me because there aren't a ton of black and white glitters out there to chose from (def wasn't about to use CTD). So what I finally decided to do is an alternating black and white nails and layer Dollish Polish Team Salvatore over each. I absolutely LOVE this glitter and definitely see myself getting great use out of it! I'm mad for not posting this the day of the challenge because it was a big hit on IG, but finally I have time to sit at the computer and play catch up. Onto the yumminess...<br />

I know I've been a bit absent, but things have been a little crazy lately. I've been swatching through my untrieds like crazy, so I will have a lot of great colors (some old and some new) to share with you. <a href="http://onwednesdayswewearpink.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Pink Wednesday</strong></span></a> its been a while but I had to share this baby with you! If you follow me on Twitter or like my FB page you know I've been trying to hunt down the long discontinued Essence Twins. Well I was able to get all the sets but the very first, and I am one happy gal. Today I have <strong>Essence Twins Carrie and Mr. Big </strong>to share with you that I got with the help of the very sweet Dolores of <a href="http://colorfulbottle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><em>Colorful Bottle</em></span></a>. All I have to say about this baby is Love At First Sight. I knew I would love it before even swatching it, and I am so happy that I wasn't disappointed. <strong>Mr. Big</strong> is a dark magenta pink creme that was fully opaque in 2 coats. <strong>Carrie</strong> is a clear base packed with dark pink, purple, magenta, silver, and light pink hexes, small glitter, and square glitters. Onto the swatches...<br />

Today I had to pick a color base with white. I used Kiko 341 as my base, special white polish, Shany ip SH22, and Seche Vite as my top coat. I just love 341, its such a bright fun tealish turquoise? It was super hard to capture however, but I managed to pretty much get what it looks like in the second picture...<br />

What do you think of the stamp pairing? I really like this color with the white stamping and design, it kind of called to me lol. I'm sorry about all the glares but I had to get super close with the flash in the first picture, and far away with the flash and zoom in with the second picture. The quality of the second picture seriously sucks. I have no idea why it wouldn't let me enlarge without really making the picture blurry, but I did have to take this picture as far away as I could just to get the true color. I'm going to have to swatch 341 again during the daytime to see if I can get better picture. Anyhoo don't forget to check out what the other lovelies came up with today :o) Thanks for stopping by!<br />

Today for Day 5 we have a color base with something black. OF COURSE you know I was going to pick blue or pink! My base is 2 coats of Essie Splash of Grenadine (which I've had FOREVER and still managed never wear as a fully mani -will be remedied ASAP-, I know I'm grounded! LOL!), special black polish, big DRK-A ip, and SV.<br />

What do you think of what I came up with for today? I know you have been seeing a lot of this ip, but I'm on a mission swatching through my hundreds of untried polish and ip's so bear with me. This image was a bish to transfer, but I was determined to get this girly punk image right because it was one of the reasons I was most excited about getting this ip. The other images are perfection, but this one was just ugh. Don't forget to check on the other lovely ladies who are also doing this challenge. Oh and I'm doing a 31 Day Untrieds challenge on Instagram, so if you have an iPhone check me out over there :o) ! Thanks for stopping by to see what I have to share with you today.<br />

What do you think of this combo? Have you ever seen jellyfish floating in the ocean, or been to the aquarium and seen the different types of pretty jellyfish? If not you really should, some are just amazing! My mani jellyfish on my middle finger floated away :o( lol. I'm really falling in love with these mani's using black and white. I usually only stamp with one or the other, but they generally the base or main color in the creation. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekends.<br />

Today I have a quick post to share Lacquistry Shredded with you. Shredded has a clear base packed with black irregular flakes similar to NYX Gilded Glitter but with bigger pieces. I layered 1 coat of Shredded over 2 coats of Ciate Cupcake Queen, which is a hot pink that has a beautiful blue micro shimmer with a formula that makes me want to throw the bottle against the wall and smash it to bits. I hate that this beautiful pink has a suckey formula, and application is just as bad because it doesn't level out at all and it wants to flood your cuticles no matter how thin of a coat you apply. I do really like it under Shredded though, so onto the swatches...<br />

What do you think of Shredded over CQ? I don't know what's up with the second picture being a little dark, they were both taken in my light box without flash :-/ ... Anyhoo you know I love this combo over pink, and I definitely want to try it over a nice cornflower blue! Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I have to share with you today. Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for Day 4 of the Black and White Challenge! Have a great weekend :o)<br />

Today's challenge mani is black base with a color. My base is 2 coats of Bettina Onix, special polish Psyche Pink, DRK-A big ip, and Seche Vite as my top coat. I had my mind set that I was going to do some crazy funky stamping, but in the end really just wanted to do something girly and dainty :o)<br />

Super quick post to share with you today. Glitrix Smurfy is a bright blue creme polish packed with small red glitter and silver holo hexes. Unfortunately with the weird star bottle and the formula being so thick, the hexes refused to be fished out. I really really cant stand this bottle because most of the glitter settles in the points of the star, and its impossible to get. The formula was thick but not a bad way. Application was buttery smooth, and reaches opacity in 2 thin coats. This bad boy stains like no other (you will see), so be careful around your cuticles! I used Seche Vite as my top coat. Onto the swatches...<br />

What do you think of Smurfy? I will be honest and say that I'm a little disappointed in this polish. I wanted more red glitter to translate onto the nail, and at least one stinking holo glitter sheesh. I almost didn't post these swatches because the staining makes me a little sick to my stomach, but they have been sitting in drafts for weeks, so I decided to go ahead and post them. I'm going to swatch Smurfy again in the near future when I have spare time on my hands, and patience to see if I have better luck next time with more glitter. Glitrix can be purchased from Lynn's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Glitrix" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: black;">Etsy</span></strong></a> shop. Thanks for stopping by :o)<br />

Today is the first day of a 10 Day Challenge I will be participating in that was created by <em>Mateja</em> of <a href="http://mateja-nails.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Purple Glitters</span></a>. Today's nails have to have a white base with black on top. My base is 2 coats of Zoya Purity (the best white EVER), I stamped using special black polish, my new Brazilian big DRK-A ip, and finished with a coat of SV. I didn't have any set idea, I really just picked a random image on the ip to use since I hadn't used this plate yet, and I'm happy with what I chose.<br />

What do you think of what I came up with for Black on White? It was SUPER late and I rushed to put tc on and smeared it a little 2 fingers, but other than that I actually really like it and I really really don't want to take it off :o( . Also this is my first time using my light box, and I'm happy that the pictures turned out true to color (now to just test colors :-/). Have you stopped by to see what the other ladies have come up with today? If you haven't don't forget to check out their Black on White nails, and follow their amazing blogs if you aren't already. Thanks for reading :o)<br />

This was a true LE and were so few left that I don't even have a whole collection to give away, but what was left the lovely people at Bettina were generous enough to send over to me for this giveaway.

I know its been a while, but I know you all understand that life happens. I have <strong>Party On My Yacht</strong> by <em>Pretty & Polished</em> to share with you this evening. Chels of <a href="http://www.prettynpolish.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Pretty n Polished</strong></span></a><strong> </strong>and the creator of this lovely gem said the name came from <em>the gorgeous champagne colored sparkles and brightly colored "summer shore" colors</em>. Application and formula was amazing and it took 3 thin coats to reach full opacity. There's gold, purple, green, and hot pink glitters, along with blue bar glitter packed in a milky white base. I topped it off with a nice coat of SV and it was perfectly smooth. The first 2 pictures are taken outside in natural sunlight, the last picture is indoors.<br />

Today for<i> </i><b><a href="http://onwednesdayswewearpink.com/" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">Pink Wednesday</a><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black;">I have <b>Models Own Pinky Brown</b>. Pinky Brown is from the Beetlejuice Collection that came out this past fall. PB has the prettiest pink to brown duochrome shift</span></span> with pink glitter. It looks like it has a very tiny sprinkling of holo glitter which I think is what gives it the glass flecked look. I don't know, I really stared at this polish for a long time and its just so interesting. I'm really bad at explaining this particular lacquer so I will just let the swatches do the talking.

Please excuse my dry cuticles, I rubbed vitamin e oil on the and they are still bad. This winter has not been kind to my poor hands, thus the nubbins. These swatches aren't my best due to cleanup being a bit hard because by the time I got around to my last swatches for the day my cuticles were extremely irritated (especially my ring and index fingers, ouch :o( ). So what do you think about Pinky Brown? I LOVE IT! Thanks for stopping by and reading :o)<br />

I know this is waaaay overdue but when I say that I have had A LOT going on, I mean I have had A LOT going on. I know you understand that life happens, and on top of that I traveled a lot for the holidays. Next time I will make sure that a winner is drawn and announced the very next day. I was very frustrated with how I had to sift through all the entries individually because I had the first Rafflecoptor form and something somehow got messed up and so on. It was just time consuming so as I was going through the entries I would write a name on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl as I went through and verified each entry. For example if you had 3 entries by tweeting, fb, and posting my giveaway, your name was on 3 different little scraps of paper. I put the lid on, shook up the bowl really good, and just picked out 2 pieces of paper. My next giveaway will be done through the simple form and chosen through the Random application to make things easier for myself. Enough blabbering and onto the winners...<br />

Today I have <b style="color: black;">Bettina Grape</b> from the <b style="color: black;">Candy Collection</b> (which I still need to share swatches of). Candy is a pretty periwinkle blue creme that took 2 coats to become fully opaque. Dry time was really good and it dried to a nice glossy finish. For the swatches below I used Konad ip m78, special white polish, and SV as my tc.<br />

What do you think about Grape? I really love this blue, but I absolutely hate my nubbins! This stamp was actually too small for my nails before, so I'm happy to be able to go stamp crazy. However, I can't do this short of length, so I will grow them out to a nice comfortable short length that I'm happy with and can still enjoy stamping. Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you :o)<br />

Today I'm sharing <strong>Emerald Black </strong>with you from the Models Own Beetlejuice Collection. <em>Marisa</em> from <a href="http://marijonails.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Polish Obsession</span></a> asked me if she could see a swatch of this beauty because I raved about it on Twitter, so of course I had to post it because she's the nicest girl ever. I was up late with Rie (Nails and Noms), and Jen (The Polishaholic) waiting for the clock to strike and the sale go live, but after the order was placed it was a little bit of a nightmare for me. I will get into that story at a later date when I swatch the rest of the collection. For the swatches below I used 2 coats and no top coat. Application was very good, and so is the formula. The duochrome effect is very subtle in this baby but its there. I really love this one and its my second favorite from the whole collection, and I wasn't even going to get this one if I had to pay for them individually and not the set. Onto the swatches...<br />

What do you think about Emerald Black? I really love this shade, and I will definitely be getting my moneys worth out of it and not collecting dust. This is my last post with my long nails :o( I have super nubbins right now because this winter is taking a toll something serious on my hands and I have some peeling. So tomorrow will be nubbins! Thanks for reading :o)<br />
