Uptown Girl Eternal Beauty

Hi ladies and Happy Friday eve... Today is my Friday so hands up for me!! Today I have a mani to share with you using a new brand that a fellow blogger refined & polished introduced to me via Facebook. This brand is Bondi (pronounced bond-ai) which is established in the Big Apple. Being a former New Yorker I was pretty stoked to give them a try. I purchased two polishes during their BOGO B2GETTWO promo last week. You can check them out at http://www.bondinewyork.com.

They have thee coolest names for their polishes such as Lady Liberty, NYPD Blue, City Slicker and etc. Today I am wearing Uptown Girl which is a purple formula which I found opacity in just two coats. The Holo I used is from Color Club's 2013 collection and it's called Eternal Beauty. I purchased the collection on eBay for $35, they're all so beautiful.

I am also trying out a new top coat I heard about in my bloggers group by Essence I have provided a pic below, it's $2.49 and the ladies rave good reviews about it so I'll try my hand with it --I mean nails :))).

Gladiola

Hi ladies, I just realized I haven't posted yet this week, I have family in from Atlanta so I've been caught up in the rapture of quality time.

Here's my current mani which is no biggie, this is 3 coats of Bettina's "Gladiola" polish from the Fiori collection. On the site this color looks peachy but it's actually a shy girly pink, I love it nonetheless.

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

Strawberry Shortcake

Happy Hump Day.... Today I have to show you a mani using Wonder Beauty Products called "Strawberry Shortcake". This indie polish brand can be found on etsy.com, I received this polish at a beauty swap at my blogger's group meet up last month.

This is a creamy polish made in a baby pink formula as the base with colored glitters of red octagon shapes, pink squares, blue circle, silver circles and pink fine glitters (there's actually a lot more but too much to name).

Here's 3 layers

Where's my Czechbook Holo

Hey Laquerboos, today I have a OPI polish from the Euro Centrale collection to show you. This one is "Where's my Czechbook". Now while I like the polish all by its lonesome, I had to try a layer of Kleancolor's Teal Holo polish over it.

Even though yesterday's sunlight made for the perfect day to take pics outdside, I had a tough time trying to capture the essence of it in the light. I think I'm good with the pictures I managed to salvage out out the gazillion I took lol. I bought a pack of 5 different types of mini holo polishes from Ross for 3.99 some moths ago.

I like the idea of the holo overlay....

BlueMation

Hi ladies, I'm starting off this week with a franken I put together over the weekend. I'm almost out of all supplies but I'm happy that I've put it all to great use, I've created at least 10 polishes so far.

This one is called BlueMation in reference to how a Dalmatian is white with black spots (or is it the other way around) lol. This is a baby blue base color with small square black glitters. Here is 3 coats of it.
