Late Pink Wednesday
Hello Babes! 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. Pink Wednesday 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 Essence Twins Carrie and Mr. Big to share with you that I got with the help of the very sweet Dolores of Colorful Bottle. 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. Mr. Big is a dark magenta pink creme that was fully opaque in 2 coats. Carrie is a clear base packed with dark pink, purple, magenta, silver, and light pink hexes, small glitter, and square glitters. Onto the swatches...

Day 6: Color Base With White
Good Morning Babes! 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...

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!

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.

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.

Lacquistry Shredded
Good Morning Babes! 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...
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)
