What amazing nail mail! :)
 
 
 
This lovely white base with glitter polish is called 'Burn Book'. White polishes with glitters are super popular right now! She did amazing. Red, black, and white are honestly my favorite color combo. My room is decorated those 3 colors!

macro shot of this. random black, red, & white glitters..as well as silver square glitters. This is 2 coats. And fabulous! :) This is to be released in her upcoming collection being released January 3rd, 2013 :)



This heavenly beauty is called 'Laffy Taffy'..um..AH-FREAKING-MAZING! It's a glittery pink base with all different colors of different shaped glitters. AHHH. LOVVVVE this! So girly! PERFECT!

macro shot. look at this. breath taking..isn't it?? the small glitters are teals, yellows, purples, oranges,  medium multicolored glitters, and large square and round teal, pink, and purple glitters. JUST a big fabulous mix of everything. This is only 2 coats. AH. look at that shimmer. <3



This pretty thing is 'Winter Mint'..this is 3 coats. It would be great over a pale green or blue as well. It has chunks of iridescent flakies. So pretty!

tiny hex and square iridescent glitters. faaaaabuloussss!!
 
 
And THIS fun glitter is 'Holo Christmas Lights' <3 over OPI 'Happy Anniversary'
A fantastic mix of small multi colored glitter..yellows, blues, reds, greens, & oranges. Theres also tiny holo glitters in the base. Soooo beautiful. Put this over green polish and instant Christmas Tree!

I Love NP brand

If you want an indie polish that is the whole package, then look no further! I Love Nail Polish brand is just that! GORRRRGEOUS polishes, amazing application, no slip grip handles on the brush, and a wider than average brush, & they come in a gorgeous peek-a-boo box!! Enjoy!
Barbra sent me to review, 'Matthew Peri', 'Babes in Toyland', 'Berry Sweet' & 'Up To Snow Good' :)
 
 
First up, is 'Matthew Peri' over Ulta's 'Bam-Blue-Zled'..I did it without a flash and with flash to show the pretty silver and blue glitters..this is a beauty..& I LOVE the name. Big MP fan ;)

Here's a macro shot of this beautiful glitter. steel blue and silver medium hex glitters, along with small silver and holo glitters. Her glitters apply so great and I didn't even need a top coat! WIN!



Next up is 'Up To Snow Good' over Sally Hansen 'Air' ---this glitter is faaaaabbbbuuuulousss. I love the mix and this would look great over black as well :)

Lovely mix of tiny iridescent glitters, small white glitters, medium white hex glitters, medium teal square glitters. Such a pretty glitter!
 
 
 
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS lovely mix of beautiful glitters is 'Babes in Toyland' over Wet n Wild Megalast 'On a Trip' --- such a fun glitter! Reminds me of Mardi Gras! :)
This mix has small and medium gold hex glitters, small hex pink glitters, medium green hex glitters, medium teal square glitters. SOOOO PRETTY! :) Smooth application, like the others. This was 2 coats, just to show the good mix! One coat would've been enough though! Ah :) So pretty! :)
 
 
ANNNNND LAST we have 'Berry Sweet' over OPI 'Shorts Story' --- this was my favorite. Such a girly mix; love love love LOVVVVE!  
Macro shot..look at that shiny and how smooth it is..this is, once again, with NO topcoat folks. <3 tiny purple and pink glitters, square pink and purple glitters. Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

Halloween and whatnot :)

So, Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Christmas and it have become tied now. Bc I love how nice and cheerful everyone is around Christmas. But, I posted some of my breast cancer manicures already..so here are some Halloween nails I've done the last week or two.

Did this polish Sunday night because all last week I watched the Friday the 13th movies on AMC...hence my accent finger ;)
I used basic white polish for the base. Then I did the paint splatter effect [see tutorial here ] - I'm not too good at the paint splatter..but oh well. To darken my accent nail to look like Jason's dirty mask I put OPI 'you dont know Jacques' on a plastic lid and added 2 drops of nail polish thinner to it. It makes it really then and I used a flarred out paintbrush to brush brown over the white to give it the dirty look. The black was done with a dotting tool. & I used a Sinful Colors red detail brush for the stripes. :) I'm please with how it turned out.

 
Now, on to the next manis :)
 
These 2 polishes are custom polishes I had made by my friend, Bree, of Mrs. P's Nail Potions. I had them made just for me. She can make you custom polishes too :) Or she may have enough supplies of to make you these are well :)

 This polish is 'terror nights' over Color Club 'worth the risque' :)
This polish is 'static' over China Glaze 'flying dragon' :)
You can purchase Bree's polishes in her store, here . Bree's polishes are awesome, you won't regret it!
 
These next manis are using the 'spun sugar' technique. You can see how to here :) That's the link I used.
 
 I just used Sally Hansen Xtreme wear for the black and white. Any kind of polish will work
Then I decided to add ornage polish on top of those! :)
 
 
My next mani started out as just a black and white 'ruffian' mani..
I used Sally Hansen Xtreme 'black out' & Essie 'orange, of course'
 
but thennnn...I turned it into pumpkins :)
I think it turned out pretty cute :))
 
 
Next are some I did while watching scary movies on AMC :)
These are just Wet N Wild and Sinful Colors, cheap polishes for the candy corn :)
Then I topped it with 'Terror Nights' from Mrs. P's Nail Potions (link posted above)
 
Next is a simple, non scary mani.
I used 2 coats of Essie 'orange, of course'..a coat of Cover Band 'sticks n stone's [which can be purchased here ] & then I topped it with a coat of OPI 'guy meets gal-veston.
 
 
 This is Nicole by OPI 'it's all about the glam' - a shimmer white polish..to make it opaque I had to use 4 coats, but it's gorgeous and well worth it. To see a really great swatch of it, you can click here :) for the accent nail I put 2 coats of Mrs. P's Nail Potions 'hella holo' [purchase this beauty here ] Hella Holo is definately one of my favorite glitters ever.
 
BUT THENNNN I wanted to Halloween this mani up...soo..
Added 'blood' in China Glaze 'ruby pumps' & topped my accent nail with the 'terror nights' glitter I have used in above post. How snazzy is this?? :) I just love this red glitter too.

Delusional Polish!!

Got some new goodies in the mail this week and they're some beauties :)
All the polishes in this blog can be purchased here :)
My lovely friend Jen made these bad boys and I'm so in love with the ones I received.
They went on easily and were not clumpy and chunky like some other indie polishes I have tried.
Enjoy! :)

this, my pretties is 'BLISS'..it's a GORGEOUS mix of reds, purples, small red bar glitters and silver bar glitters.
I have it on top of Color Club 'fashion addict'. Perfect mix and I received so many compliments on this today and it looks AMAZING in sunlight! :)
this is how pretty it is without the base coat :)

another shot. sooo pretty :)
 
tried to blur the pic to get some of the glitter to show...but iphone's dont like to blur, it kept readjusting lol. But you can still see some of the sparkly goodness :)
 
 
 
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS wonderful thing is 'COSMO' :) I topped it over Kleancolor 'pastel pink'.
It's a gorgeous pink with small purple & silver hex glitters, medium pink hexes, & hot pink bars glitters.
 
blurred the pic so you can see the pretty glitters.
look at how pretty (: ...eeee :))))
 
 
this fun glitter is called 'PARTY SCENE'.
It has medium purple hex holo glitter, medium turquoise hex glitter and copper bar glitter.
It reminds me of money..which you gotta spend lots of when you go out on the town. ;)
This went on great..it's so fun! I can't wait to try over different colors.
without the flash. The colors are still so pretty :))

 
packed full of all the glitters. So pretty :))
 
 
 
*And lasssssssssssst, but DEFINITELY not least...
'DEEP FREEZE'
ahhh myyy goshhh I am in love with this blue. I love the shimmer, I love the glitter..I love everything. I put it over a thin coat of Essie 'bikini so teeny'
How gorgeous is this?! <3
