Dr's Remedy Jolly & Joy Collection Swatches and Review - SERENE Silver Glitter

Good Afternoon Babes and I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday. I had to take the day to myself yesterday to rest up from 2 days of cooking. Today I have another from the 2011 holiday collex from Dr's Remedy.

SERENE Silver Glitter: A seasonal sizzler like no other; shine, chic, totally unique in the metallic scene.

Flash

Silver Glitter has a silver metallic base with red, blue and silver glitter. The formula was really good for a glitter and was opaque in 2 thin coats. Dry time was really fast and I used 2 coats of SV to get a shiny smooth finish. I would make sure to allow dry time in between coats so you don't get any drag.


What do you think of Silver Glitter? I wasn't impressed by it at first glance because silver's don't go well with my skin tone, but I absolutely fell in love with it and its my favorite out of the 2 glitters. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share with you, and I will have the creme/shimmers for you tomorrow.

Dr's Remedy Jolly & Joy Collection Swatches and Review - Red Glitter

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving! Today I have a very pretty polish to share with your from Dr's Remedy holiday collection Jolly & Joy! If you don't know much about D.R. its a line of doctor-inspired cosmetics that is dedicated to using clean, hypo-allergenic ingredients. The polishes are enriched with naturally occurring anti fungal ingredients like tea tree oil, garlic bulb extract, vitamins C and E, and wheat protein. Its free from harsh toxins to promote healthier nails and its the first ever nail polish on the market approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Now to show you the beautiful Red Glitter.

RESOLUTION Red Glitter: A red-meets-copper spin that's sequin-look-alike laden with high-shine and sparkle.

In this one you can see where it flashes the copper and the silver. The sun was not really in my favor, this is a day where the sun was a little to bright and the pictures would have shadows from the camera being held over my hand or it would be super bright.

I was really able to capture the silver in this picture. Isn't it gorg?

I love how the copper really flashes at certain angles, it gives it some serious pop.

OK so I tried to make sure that I got good pictures so that you could see all the loveliness that is RRG. In the swatches above I used 2 coats and it was fully opaque. This glitter is definitely not meant for layering, its perfect on its own. The formula is a little on the thick side but not in a bad way, just in a way that you want to give it a little time between coats so that you have no drag. In person it definitely has a metallic/foil-like look to it. To my eyes it doesn't look red at all, more like a dark pink. Dry time was very fast but it dries gritty so you need a good thick top coat, and this polish eats up tc, so I used 2 coats of SV and was good to go. You really want to watch your cuticles because this is one of those glitters that like to hang around and is a pain to clean up.


What do you think of RESOLUTION Red Glitter? At first glance I didn't think it would go well with my skin tone but I absolutely love it and didn't want to take it off! Thanks for stopping by and I will have the rest of the collection up through-out the weekend. If you aren't following Dr's Remedy on Twitter or like their Facebook page do so now, you'll stay up to date on what they have going on, promotions and upcoming collections.

10 Day Challenge: Day 10 - Ombre Nails

Oh My Goodness Babes, we have made it to day 10. I was seriously frustrated on some days but I had a blast through it all. Up today for our last day is Ombre Nails which is basically a gradient that fades on each finger versus on one finger. I had to re-do these twice and they still came out ugly but hey you win some you lose some. I used Bettina Art Deco Aqua and Nature Clouds to do this mani. What I did was I painted my pinkie with ADA and then with each finger I dropped 3 drops, then 6, then 9.... The first time I only did 1-4 but you couldn't see a significant difference in the pictures so I went back and tripled it instead. I really think its just the color I chose, I should have went with a primary color. I'm definitely not giving up on this, I will revisit it until I master it. Well onto the epic fail formerly know as my gradient mani lol.

Thank you so much for all the lovely feedback we've received during this mini challenge. We had so much fun brainstorming about what we were going to do and sharing it with all our readers.

10 Day Challenge: Day 9 - Favorite Color Combination

Good Morning Babes and welcome to Day 9 of the Challenge! I can't believe that tomorrow is the last day, this was so much fun! My post is a little later today because I wasn't feeling good last night and didn't get around to scheduling this post, so I let it wait until today to do. My color combo is Pink & Chocolate, and I chose those colors because they were my baby Ailani's colors when she was first born. Her bassinet , travel system and tons of clothes were done in these colors and I absolutely loved it! I had all these ideas to do something really fabulous like some of my favorite outfits of hers, but decided in the end on something simple and sweet. I used 2 coats of OPI Sparrow Me the Drama as my base, stamped with Konad ip m78, Bettina Art Deco Brown, and SV as my top coat.

My Challenge Mates:
Carolina - Colores de Carol

Tera - Nails in Nippon

Marta - Chit Chat Nails 

What do you think of this color combo? I actually really like these simple nails :o) I had to use pictures that all had flash because for some reason the regular natural light ones weren't showing the true color of SMTD. Don't forget to check on my challenge buddies to see what they've done for favorite color combo, nails and to follow their lovely blogs if you aren't already - Carolina, Tera, and Marta. Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you, and see you tomorrow for the final day with Ombre Nails :o)

10 Day Challenge: Day 8 - Favorite Movie or Inspired by a Movie

Good Morning Babes and welcome to Day 8 of challenge. Today is movie nails and I chose something that I have been wanting to do - Breakfast at Tiffany's! When I bought the infamous For Audrey by China Glaze months ago, I already knew that the first time I would use it would be to do a movie inspired mani. However, the mani is nothing like how I envisioned it because my Chez Delaney plates that I ordered and shipped over 3 weeks ago are still not here, so I had to scramble to alter the mani. I started off with 2 coats of For Audrey, sponged Zoya Trixie, then stamped with Bundle Monster ip 212 and Born Pretty Store ip M77, added a few pieces of glitter from Kleancolor Chunky Silver, and topped it off with a coat of SV. What I went with was the fashion part of the movie because I just loved what she wore and her accessories. IRL this mani looks much better. I wasn't able to capture a single good picture of how it really looks out of about 100, but either way I'm still not happy with it because I envisioned something completely different... :O(   Onto the nail fail...

My Challenge Mates:
Carolina - Colores de Carol

Tera - Nails in Nippon

Marta - Chit Chat Nails 

Below are pictures of the colors that I used, and movie stills (source attached in link) of my inspiration behind each nail. I tried to put them in order for the most part according to my nails. The images are pretty small because when I tried to enlarge them they became blurry.

  

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my movie nails with you. How do you like them? Don't forget to check on my challenge buddies to see what they've done for movie nails and to follow their lovely blogs if you aren't already - Carolina, Tera, and Marta. Oh and I forgot to mention it yesterday but I hit my 2 month mark of blogging!

10 Day Challenge: Day 7 Favorite Freehand Nail Art Design

Good Morning Babes and welcome to day 7 of our challenge! I can't believe were almost done, its only a mini challenge but still we're having a ball together. Favorite Freehand Nail Art Design is what we have going on today, and what I chose is Peacock Nails! I'll be totally honest and let you know that I absolutely suck at drawing/freehand AND I don't have all the necessary tools yet to really give it a full green light. However I did buy a dotting tool set when I first started my blog so I did use those for the first time. I have been following Cute Polish on YouTube for a while and I really love her cute designs, so I scrolled through and picked one that was more my speed. I used 2 coats of Bettina 194 as my base, dotted with Kleancolor Metallic Yellow, Bettina Jeans Indigo, and Bettina Nature Ocean. I added a very light coat of INM NL, then used a thick coat of SV and was good to go.
