Fierce Friday: Glitter Gal Lizard Belly

Good Morning Babes and Happy Friday! Its the return of Fierce Friday's, its been a while since I've done it but today's post definitely fits in the fierce category. Today I have a long time lemming of mine that I finally was able to purchase from Katie at Harlow & Co.  (who also carries Models Own, Picture Polish/Ozotic, Nubar, Glitter Gal, Pop Beauty, Scotch Naturals, and Spa Therapy Works) in October! Katie has the best customer service ever, and I get orders from her quicker than orders I place right here in the US! Lizard Belly is a deep forest green linear holographic polish that is nothing short of amazing! For the swatches below I used 1 coat of Bettina Onix as my base and 2 coats of LB with no tc. Application was amazing and the formula was perfection. Unlike other holo's like Nfu Oh, you can wear a regular base coat and tc doesn't take away from or diminish the holo.

What do you think of LB? I know its been swatched all over the blogosphere but I haven't swatched it yet so here it is again lol! Totally lived up to my expectations, looks lovely with my skin tone, and its actually 10x better in person that the pictures show. Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you :o)

Nfu Oh #52

Good Afternoon Babes! Today I'm finally going to share with you what I bought back in the summer. Nfu Oh #52 is a blurple (blueish purple) jelly with green micro shimmer and flakies. There's so much green going on in there that the bottle looks like it has an beautiful eerie glow. I decided to layer this over OPI Russian Navy which I NEVER wear any way but on its own, but I really wanted to see what it looked like with an interesting blue. I used 2 coats of RN and 1 coat of #52. Its been raining here and has been dark outside all day long for the whole week, so these swatches were the best that I could get with the limited natural light that I had :o(  I will definitely re-visit this in the summer because IRL its AMAZING!

And because it would be a crime to not show you the most fabulous dark blue of all time here's the amazingly beautiful Russian Navy that has graced by toes for the past 2 years for the entire fall and winter, and will do the same again this year :-D

What do you think of #52? I promise babes that it was unbelievable in person, but it was just one of those that I really need so good sunlight to do justice, and I still haven't built my light box yet... Did you take a look at the amazing red and blue glittah in RN? A-MAZ-ING! Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you :o)

Pink Wednesday

Hello Babes and Happy Pink Wednesday! Today I have Essence Ultimate Pink to share with you. For the swatches below I used 2 thin coats, Konad ip m83, special white polish, and SV as my tc. Ultimate Pink is a pretty hot pink with an amazing formula that dried pretty fast. There's nothing original about this color and there are tons out there like it, but its still a pretty pink and you know I love my pinks.

The 1st picture has flash and the 2nd is just regular natural rainy day light. Below I have UP on its own.

 

What do you think of UP and the stamping? I just love that sassy cat stamp, I've been wanting to use it for a while now. Thanks for stopping by :o)

Bettina Week: Mini Spam

Good Morning Babes and Happy Friday! Today I have a little bit of Bettina Spam to share with you. In the swatches below I used 2 coats and no tc.

Bettina 187 is a very deep dark pink with purple undertones that almost overwhelm the pink. Application was flawless and dry time was very good. IRL this is much darker and there is absolutely no red to it, but this a one of those days where the sun being out wasn't in my favor.

Metallic Copper is a deep golden brown metallic polish with gold and bronze glitter. For a metallic it has a really good formula, that you don't have to worry about brush strokes with. Dry time is a little slower than the average Bettina dry time and I had a bump so on this one I used INM OTD becasue I had to touch up my middle finger. This shade is from the Metallic Collection.

Glamour Midnite is a gorgous black polish loaded with silver glitter. This is from the Glamour Collection and I absolutely love this shade. The formula was amazing and very easy to work with. In true Bettina form it dried at lightning speed. The pictures do it absolutely no justice, its to die IRL.

What do you think of these 3 lovlies? Copper really isn't my cup of tea against my skin tone but it is very pretty. Thanks for stopping by :o)
