Day 3: Black Base With Some Color

MORNTING and Welcome to Day 3! 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)

Day 2: White on Black

Good Morning Babes! Day 2 of the challenge is White on Black. My base is OPI Black Onyx, special white polish, DRK-A big ip, and SV as my tc. I wanted to try something girly that I would normally do in a pink mani, and I'm happy with how it came out. Onto the swatches...

What do you think of this black and white twist on flowers? I'm really loving the black and white theme! I never use the two colors by themselves in the same mani, so this is a breath of fresh air. Don't forget to stop by a see what the other ladies came up with today, and follow their lovely blogs if you aren't already. Thanks for reading :o)

Glitrix Smurfy

Good Morning Babes! 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...

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 Etsy shop. Thanks for stopping by :o)

Day 1: Black on White

Good Morning Babes! Today is the first day of a 10 Day Challenge I will be participating in that was created by Mateja of Purple Glitters. 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.

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)

Fierce Friday: Party On My Yacht

Good Evening Babes! I know its been a while, but I know you all understand that life happens. I have Party On My Yacht by Pretty & Polished to share with you this evening. Chels of Pretty n Polished and the creator of this lovely gem said the name came from the gorgeous champagne colored sparkles and brightly colored "summer shore" colors. 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.

What do you think of POMY? I can tell you that I was DROOLING for this baby and it didn't disappoint! If you like what you see in the pictures then you will love it in person because its even better! You can purchase POMY along with a large assortment of Chels other frankens on her Etsy Shop. She has full size and mini bottles available for purchase. Thanks for stopping by and reading what I have to share :o)
