Pop Rocks

IThis is a Franken I made last night called Pop Rocks. My homegirl Cam (@loveandlaces) came thru with this name for me as I was stumped on what to call it. This is a sea green color base with hot pink fine glitters. I purchased the glitter from a shop on etsy called misfitson8th. The finish was a little matte for me, so I applied one coat of Cuccio glossy top coat.

It's Friday eve, thank God for small favors!! 




PS- please excuse my pics idk y they look so crappy this time other than I did this late last night, tired using my iPhone :)

Tea Beauty- Pink Rose

Hi all, I'm going to give u a quick review of this polish I picked up at Walgreens. This polish is scented and it's called Tea Beauty, this one is called Pink Rose and is from the Bouquet collection. I have to tell u that I'm not pleased with its scent AT ALL. It's a strong overwhelming scent that had me washing my hands every 10 minutes. It's scent resemblance a perfume my grandmother has that I know she got from her local drug store!! Even my coworker smelled it and asked if I was trying a new perfume lol!!

I got this at my local Walgreens and it is priced at $4.99. Now the formula I can work with, its application is smooth showing no streaks. This pink is a little on the sheer side but I've applied three coats and I'm good with it.

Check it out on my nails and my expression when I smell it, lol

Sinful Shine w/ Gel Tech

Hi ladies, the weekend is here yay!!! Really quickly, allow me to show you these polishes I picked up today. I normally don't swatch the same day but my boo & brother have gone to see Iron Man 3 & I'm all to myself.

These polishes are the newly released Sinful Colors polishes which includes a glossy gel finish to it. I must say that this formula seems thicker than the original SF polishes. Don't get me wrong, thicker doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I only applied two coats and all swatches of course are w/o a top coat.

L to R: Most Sinful, Skinny Dipping, Picante, Your's Truly, Bananappeal, Picante

Spike Me Down

Hi ladies, I have this mani that's spiked me with excitement. I purchased these spikes from BornPrettyStore.com, as long as I had to wait to receive this; I'm still excited to get them anyway.

Although the spikes are only on my accent nail, I'm just too thrilled to finally see what I had envisioned when I put them in my cart to checkout. You don't want to overdo the spikes with fashion. The red-orange color on my nails are from Essie's "Resort" collection. I recently purchased this collection, all except for 1 polish of the DJ collection and 2 from the wedding 2013 collection. I'm loving my nail supply inventory and prices.

Lastly, the sinful colors polish I'm using is "Why Not" from the Sure Bet collection.E Enjoy your hump day *wiggles accent finger at you all*

Off the White

Hi ladies, quick post because today is already a busy day.... I was at the nail supply store the other day and spotted this brand called iPolish, if you thought of Apple instantly; join the club. This has nothing to do with electronics tho. I'm so happy to be able to buy polishes at certain nail supply places w/o a license.

This brand does have model names for their polishes, I just happened to get one that doesn't have a sticker on it. Remembering back to the rack label I believe this is Off the White, this is an off white creme polish. The formula rate for thickness is a 6, it's actually light but thick for application and goes on smooth. First coat was sort of streaky but the next 2 layers had its back covering the streaks.

This is simplicity for me, I hardly ever wear the color so plain Jane.

Have a good weekend, I plan to :)
