A for Autism

Hi ladies, this is a quick post, I did this mani late in honor of my best friend Evelyn's son Ethan who has Autism. He'll be 10 and he's been a trooper with his condition. I used OPI "No time for the blues" and American Apparel's ughhh now I've forgotten the name, I'll edit it later.

I did puzzle dots... I wish they'd find the piece to puzzle for the cure of Autism.

Hedonism- My franken

Hi ladies, here is a franken I made on Monday called Hedonism. I remember going back to Jamaica to visit when I was younger and my father driving pass this resort called Hedonism. Thinking back to the looks on my older brothers' face when my dad told them what it was, it didn't strike my interest much until I got older lol.

When I was thinking about a new franken I wanted something that wasn't completely like me. I am a bright and colorful person so I chose a nude eyeshadow as a pigment. It took a lot to get it like this but I'm well satisfied with it. In this formula it also includes red and white various shaped glitter along with gold fine glitter.

Here is 3 coats of my franken Hedonism

Wink Wink Twinkle

Hi ladies, today I have a pretty polish from Color Club called "Wink Wink Twinkle". It's a magenta base with fine silver glitter in it.
At first I thought I was not going to like it as I applied it, but I remembered there was something that caught my attention about it; when I picked it up at the nail swap.

This dries kinda matte but there's nothing like making it shine bright like a diamond using your all time fave top coat.

Bunny Sprinkles and Rotten Eggs

Hi ladies and Happy Hump Day, today I will share with you the last two of my Easter Frankens. First up I'll show you Rotten Eggs, this is a Shrek green base polish with purple and white glitter squares.

This reminded me of when cartoons portrayed something was rotten, they'd have that green cloud floating above the food lol.

Next is my franken called Bunny Glitter, it consists of a milky white base with pink fine glitters, white octagon, light blue squares, light green small octagons and white tinsels.
These two polishes are applied with two coats each.

PEACHSTER

For the first time I am doing more than one post in a day, it's due to me wanting get my uploads completed of the Easter Franken polishes. Ok so here's PEACHSTER, I wanted to do a peach polish for Easter because I've noticed a lot of people only go the yellows, lime greens, pastel blue and pastel purples.

This formula consists of aqua tinsel, red & orange square glitter, red & octagon glitter, orange and yellow squares and lastly silver fine glitter.

Purple Feaster

Hi ladies, today I have another model from my Easter polish frankens that I made in Sunday.
This one I made in the form of a jelly polish, the base color is purple and has white tinsel, purple and aqua square glitter and white fine glitter. I thought about putting a regular polish as a base but I wanted to show the true texture of the franken first.

This is Purple Feaster....

Water my marble

Hi ladies, today I want to share with you all my progress on this water marble technique that's been a trend for a while now.

I have been at this thing trying to perfect its look for a while and when something does work for me immediately I tend to not be able to forget about it. So without further ado here are two manis I've done with the water marble, I feel confident about its look.

At the end of the water marble pic I decided to add some dots to it, which gave it a prettier touch I think.

Milani Textures

Hi ladies, today I have 4 swatches to share with you from the Milani "Texture" collection. Zoya sent me the Zoya Pixie Dust polishes however, I wasn't too thrilled about the colors. These texture polishes takes some getting used to, several times a day I rub my nails and it's startling sometimes when I feel the roughness of them. I really liked the colors to this Milani collection so that's why I chose to get these.The finish reminds me of when concrete is being mixed. LOL.

So many other brands are jumping on the band-wagon with this texture polish trend such as China Glaze, Julie G and Jordana, not to forget the OPI Liquid Sand collection with Mariah Carey.

Anyhoo here's my donation to the Milani bank account.

Phyrra's Hair

Happy Friday ladies, I'm pressed for time on my break so I'll make my post short. Today I have a franken that I made last week inspired by another member of the Beauty Bloggers of Central Florida group. Her name is Phyrra, really nice woman and I love the colors she has dyed her hair.

So it inspired me to make a polish using the same glitters as her hair color and I call is "Phyrra's Hair".

Square Hue nail tape design

Hi ladies, Happy Friday eve lol. Today I have a mani using polishes from my monthly Square Hue subscription. If you don't already know it's a polish group that sends you 3 random polishes every month for $22. Just like with Julep there's no lock in obligation you can cancel it at anytime. www.squarehue.com.

This collection is called the "O'Hue" collection consisting of a champagne color (Blonde Ale), emerald color "Patty's Pint" and a Copper color "Amber Lager". I decided this time to go all out using the nail tape for a design. I'm proud of myself for doing the design on all nails and on both hands (toot toot).

Love & Beauty Forever

Hi ladies, talk about getting the fever, all of these mainstream brands are catching the indie fever for the glitter in the makings of their polishes. I've had these for about a month now but you can still pick these up at any XXI Forever 21.
These are milky based glitter polishes that are pretty friendly and durable for polishes priced under $5.

Only bummer to these polishes is that there aren't any coolster names related to them.

New Hard Candy polish Swatch

Hi ladies, hope you're all having a relaxing Sunday! As for me I got a swatch-a-thon going on in my room. As you can see I scored some Hard Candy polishes that's got all us polishnatics in a frenzy.

Jumping right into the deets, I was stoked to try these out because of the brand's sudden interest in the indie glitter polish look. I am not dissatisfied with any of my pick ups. What I've pictured are 3 coats of each model w/o a top coat.

The polishes all give an even distribution upon application. I applied a thin coat, let it dry and then 2 more. They're $4 a pop, thanks to a Walmart gift card I was able to get all the ones I wanted.

"Jelly Bean Blue"

"Peach Pop"

"Gummy Green"

"Cotton Candy Pink"

"Sugar Rush"

"Pink Taffy"

"Black Tie Optional"

*Black Tie Optional is a dupe to China Glaze's "Whirled Away".

Sweet Tooth & Mardi Gras

Hi ladies, hope you are having a great start of the week. Today I have another member of the Sinful Colors Sugar Rush collection that I haven't swatched, this is called Sweet Tooth.

This is a pretty lavender color polish that's smooth in formula and dries glossy, you can top it off with a top coat if you like of course.

The glitter layover is a polish from Ruby Kisses HD called "Mardi Gras", it has silver tinsel glitter with purple fine glitters in it.
I was looking through my Frankens and I spotted one I made just like it called "Vabulous", smh, hey great minds think alike right!!

You can get this RK HD polish in any Beauty Supply store for .99.
