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!

Finally Got My Hands On Halo Hues!

That's right! I started thinking I was never gonna get my hands on this collection but, I finally got them. Yaye! They are the Halo Hues Collection by Color Club and are what we like to call Holographic Polish.

They are much prettier than I had expected them to be and I am so glad I did decide to get them after all... If you are wondering whether they're worth it... I'd definitely have to say YES! The only thing that would be nice is if the colors were darker. (like the blues & pinks)

The holo is quite prominent though... I took pictures of one coat and two coat to show you how awesome they really are. Starting from the pinky finger the colors are as follows: Blue Heaven, Cherubic, Angel Kiss, Harp On It, and Halo-Graphic on thumb. Thumb on other hand is "Cloud Nine".

Near the end of the images I was messing around and decided to add "Santa's Magic" by Finger Paints over "Harp On It".

Last Friday Night Meets Royal Navy

I think this polish is very fitting for today since it is Saturday. I applied one coat of "Last Friday Night" by OPI on top of "Royal Navy" by ORLY. Last Friday Night is a small teal, silver and, gold glitter polish; with what appears to be a cornflower blue jelly base. I then added one coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat over the top. Remember when applying a glitter polish, if you want it to appear shiny as it does in the bottle; you must apply a top coat. If you're going for a matte glitter look that's okay too; you would then use a matte top coat.

Excuse Moi! Navy Shatter Coming Through!

This manicure I started out with "Excuse Moi!" by OPI & topped it off with "Navy Shatter" which is also by OPI. Excuse Moi! is a pink & silver glitter (very pretty!) and if I remember correctly I only used one coat. For some odd reason the glitter underneath did not photograph as well as the live visual. Navy Shatter is obviously exactly what it says... a navy blue crackle / shatter which also applied with no fuss. I then topped it off with Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Hot Pink Glitter & OPI Jelly Sandwich

This is a look I did for Valentine's Day... It is a sandwich of colors which is when you layer colors. The first color I used was "Hot Pink" by Milani which is a pink & silver hexagon glitter. Then layering "Do You Think I'm Tex-y?" by OPI which is a dark pink jelly & looks amazing all alone as well. Then adding another of Milani & again with the OPI, along with a Seche Vite top coat. I think it looks really nice & was very easy to accomplish. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comment box below.

Sugarplum Fairy - Color Club (Worn For New Years!)

This polish is a beautiful glitter... the sparkles are just captivating! It is by the brand Color Club & is called "Sugarplum Fairy" from the "Beyond the Mistletoe" Collection. I had no other choice... It was a must for New Years Eve! It was fully opaque in two coats. I do have the entire collection & will eventually get to the rest of them.
