Zoya Satin Collection 2015

*Press Sample*

Hi people, today I have to share with you all swatches of  Zoya's Satin finish polishes which I received yesterday in the mail. Me, I'm a girl who loves a matte finish and if you're like me then you NEED these in your collection. Some of the formula on a few of the polishes are a little thick when applied while others are just right. With the first coat, for me it dried quickly to a matte finish, it was very apparent. You need to let the second and third coat dry completely in order to gain that smooth satin finish. 

Take a look at the colors Zoya has chosen for this collection....

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Look 3

Hey everyone..... My Sunday has been very lazy and nonchalant, so lazy this is why I'm just now uploading this post lol

This is my 3rd post for TNCC wallpaper nails for the month. For this design I just went with an abstract design (which equals to I have no idea what I made lol).

Antique Gold Bettina Matte

Hey everyone, I cannot apologize enough for not posting all week, I was off Monday and it threw off all my plans (and memory). You all mean the world to me so don't think otherwise :).

Jumping right into the meat of my post, last week I stopped by my Bettina retailer who called me last week telling me she got in new polishes. Isabel who works for Bettina lets me know often of Bettina's latest polishes, I know that these polishes are available in Puerto Rico already.

This gold matte polish is called Antique Gold and the formula is amazing. It dries to a matte finish, once you're done with the first coat on the last nail you're ready for another.

Check it out and the other colors I picked up (swatches to show later).

This Black Sheep is a flake

Hello bloggerverse, how goes it? How did your weekend go, mine went.....quickly lol! Don't worry another one is on its way (that's what I tell myself to get through the day anyway).

So I am going to show y'all what I've had on my nails since Saturday (which doesn't happen often for me). As my base color I am using Julie G polish "Balck Sheep" and my gold flakies is OPI "The Man with the golden gun" topper. I chose to matte it cause I was in a rush and it worked out great for me.

I found that the brush didn't pick up the flakies in abundance as desired :/. 

Do you own either one of these? If so, how do you like them?

The Nail Challenge Collaborative January Look 1

Hey everyone! I am here today to share with you all my first look to TNCC Theme for Wallpaper Nails this month! I was on the fence while voting for the theme, but this one seemed the more fun choice!

I dabbled with stamping this go around while using OPI's "A-Taupe The Space Needle" and a butterfly stamp, I see vintage wallpaper when I look at this (hippies too) lol.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Look 2

Hey everyone, has your countdown to Christmas begun or did it start December 1st? I know I'm counting down the days for this to be over cause I am not so gung ho this holiday.

Anyhoo, this is my look #2 for The Nail Challenge Collaborative dots theme this month. I'm pissed because I thought I waited long enough to put the matte top coat on and obviously not so it streaked. Oh well I wasn't about to do it all over again. I decided to do some Christmas colored dots.

Zoya 2014 Velvet Matte Collection

*Press Samples*

Good morning people, it's still the weekend (however close to Monday it may be lol). I decided to post up these swatches of that I got in the mail early before I get too busy and forget. This collection is a re-issue from Zoya and I am thrilled that I got a chance to enjoy them since I didn't the first time around. All swatches are polished in coats of 3. The matte finish is amazing in certain colors. I am one who lives the matted look on reds and brighter colors, but I found myself liking some of the darker matte finished colors too.

This is a smokey black and it's called Loredana.

This is a black shimmery matte finish called Dovima

This is Veruschka (my label was slightly ripped so this is what I made from it).

This is Harlow

This is Savita

This is Posh

My all time favorite of this collection is Harlow, Savita & Posh, what's yours?

Dream On Pride

Happy Friday people!!

I haven't posted all week I know, time just wasn't on my side... I'm running low on it today as well but I wanted to post something today. On my nails is Sinful colors Dream On (matte version), I didn't know until recently that they're two versions to Dream On; thankfully I own both formulas. The glitter on my accent nails is Pride by sinful colors as well!!

Have a great, fun and safe weekend!!

Rubber Matte

Good morning, well what is that at the end of the week; it looks like Friday approaching the platform YAYYYY

My week has been just blah and I'm ready for some get away time with Mr. Nailmattic (he's finally come to terms with his new sidekick name).

So today I have two polishes from Sinful Colors, both untried and 1 I didn't know is a matte finish.

The textured polish I'm wearing is a burgundy color from the Full Throttle collection and it's called "Race Rubber". As I said before, these textured polishes are of the more subtle textured finishes than ones I own; it isn't as rough as the others. On my accent nail is Get It On which is a burgundy matte finish polish.

Matted Sprinkles

Good morning all and how was your Monday? My Monday wasn't bad at all, I can say I had a productive day.

On my nails today consists of 2 untried polishes (I am on the road to success with my untried stash). The coral colored polish which is on my index and middle finger is called "Instyle Coral", it is from Rimmel's "Festival Colour" 2014 collection sold at Walgreens for $1.69. This is really pretty in person and is opaque in 3 coats for me. I love to wear this color in the spring and summer, as matter of fact I like to break fashion rules; I wear any color for any season. This is 3 coats w/o a top coat.

The glitter polish on my other two fingers is a polish I got from Rue 21-- I swear every time I go there, some polishes manage to catch my eye and I have to have it. This line is called Candy Confetti and guess what.... it doesn't have a cool name (womp womp). I know many of you have seen this glitter mix made by many other brands, but I happen to like this mix; it's fun to me. For this polish I've applied 3 coats, the formula is average and friendly, it doesn't streak. 

Lastly, I've chosen to mattify this mani using OPI's Matte top coat. I was curious to see if I would like it and that I did. 
Which style do you prefer? Glossy or Matte for this look?

For My Sugar Rush Thistle Do Nicely

Hi all, 

Today on my nails I am wearing another one of China Glaze "City Flourish" polishes, it's called "Thistle Do Nicely". This is a vibrant pink polish that dries matte. I don't think I was able to catch the true color of this polish using my iPhone, but I had no problem with the formula application. While polishing I had Flip Flop Fantasy in mind, they have the same pop color to me.

On my accent nails I'm wearing this recently released glitters collection by Milani, this one is called Sugar Rush. This glitter has orange, green, silver and white circle glitters.

Hi everyone, today's nails are brought to you by Sinful Colors. 

On my ring finger I am wearing Savage which a matte- finish polish, two coats! I love this color for the fall & winter since it's just a few days away. On my other fingers, the glitter polish is called Nail Junkie; I bought these two together from Walgreens.
