Marilyn / Minnie Mouse POST

Sorry been gone AGAIN... 

1. I had to stop using gel on my nails... I was using it to keep my natural nails from breaking & it was doing a great job for a LONG time.... but, not too long ago my fingers started burning & itching... So I started to investigate the culprit.  I was thinking it was either the 90% Rubbing Alcohol OR the UV Light... My conclusion is the light because I don't apply the alcohol past my nails.

I haven't been gelling for at least a month & because of that my nails Broke, Chipped.. etc.

I started to realize that I can't keep leaving just because of my nails....So don't be surprised if you see mis-shaped nail sizes... LOL

2. I have a friend in deep need of my help... she lost her job & then her house. It took hard work & lots of time to get her situated but, she is still a work in progress.


Anywhoo... to get back on track...

This look I did I like to call the Marilyn / Minnie look because that's what it reminds me of.

I started out with 2 coats of Sunset Kiss by Julie which is a gorgeous metallic red & then moved on to 2 coats of  Love Marilyn by China Glaze which is a red & silver glitter and topped it off with 1 coat of Out The Door top coat.

Lemme know what it reminds you of!

Zoya's New Pixie Dust Review - Chyna

This polish is called "Chyna" and is Red in color just perfect for today! (Valentine's Day) It is made by "Zoya" and comes from the NEW "Pixie Dust Collection". This collection is similar to OPI's Liquid Sand Collection and China Glazes's Textured Collection but, I have only experience OPI and Zoya's version thus far and have to say I am more pleased with OPI's Liquid Sand.

I applied this in two coats allowing each coat to dry before adding the another.

Keep in mind this is the first color I have tried too. Personally I prefer Chyna with a top coat to seal off that grainy look BUT, when it comes to the Liquid Sand Collection I like them just the way they are.

With the one coat of Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat this color reminds me of Ruby Pumps by China Glaze.

Blaze by Zoya from the Ornate Collection

This is a holographic polish in a nice cool toned maroon / plum red color. It is called "Blaze" by Zoya and is from the 2012 Ornate Holiday Collection. It is a very stunning polish and my images do NOT do justice.  It was applied in two simple coats without any fuss. I then applied one coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat. This polish did not chip during wear time. If you have any questions please feel free to comment below.

Color Club's Berry and Bright

This is a nice metallic Christmas red color called "Berry And Bright" by Color Club from the 2012 Winter Affair Collection. It was applied it ONE easy coat! Crazy I know.... While I was painting my nails I noticed a smell... which was quite nice but, I was wondering where it was coming from. I realized that it was coming from my nails as they dried. It smelt like berries! :o) Funny cause I had no idea when I bought the polish that it did that.
