What Wizardry is this?

Hello friends! The new 'Oz The Great and Powerful' collection from O.P.I came out recently and left me unimpressed, but after seeing this beauty swatched all over Instagram I had to break the no buy I was on to pick it up. It is gorgeous!

This is my first ever textured polish and I kind of love it! I didn't think I would, but the color has A LOT to do with it. WWIT is a beautiful bronze with gold micro glitter, perfect combination that will go with any skin tone.

After seeing the movie that this polish was based off, I am even more disappointed in O.P.I choice to make all of the other polishes in the collection so tame and well...boring. The movie was amazing btw!

The OPI liquid sand formula is amazing! This polish applied so perfectly in just two coats and dried super fast, if they come out with more pretty colors in liquid sand I will definitely be buying them.

With top coat...still very pretty.

Blurry to show the sparkle :)

Butter London Wallis

Hello friends!  So sorry for the lack of posts lately, my boyfriend and I are remodeling a house and that takes  A LOT of time! We are so close to being done and all moved in though so I am very excited! Here is a quick post on one of the most interesting colors in my collection.. Wallis from Butter London

Wallis is a gorgeous green with gold foil. It has a beautiful deep olive tone. I am really feeling this one. :)

My kitty Tasha wanted to help me blog...this polish kind of reminds me of her eyes. I love my Russian Blue!

I absolutely love it! I was trying to figure out what design I should do on this manicure but I couldn't because the color is just too pretty!

Up close!

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Butter London

Hey loves! Check out my mini haul from Butter London! I had never tried these before but I am glad I did because these polishes are so unique and beautiful.

Butter London is kind of pricey so I only purchased three. I tried to choose three completely different polishes but there were so many I wanted! It was tough to choose.

'All Hail The Queen'  holographic sandy beige 

'Wallis' burnt olive with greenish gold foil. I can't wait to put this on my nails!

'The Black Knight' black base with multi-color glitter! It's amazeballs!

ooooh look at the glitter! I see magenta, gold, blue and green..swoon!

Red and Gold Christmas Mani

Hello Lovely friends!  Can you believe it is already DECEMBER?!  I am so glad that it is because I LOVE the Holidays. Check out this pretty Christmas inspired manicure that I came up with. I hope you like it.

Red and gold is the perfect color combination for a Holiday manicure.

My nails are super short right now so it only took one coat of China Glaze's Ruby Deer for the base, the gold is also by China Glaze and its called Passion. Ruby Deer is one of the best red cremes out there, with the right application I think one coat would work for longer nails too.

The design in from Bundle Monster Plate BM-203. I am till so pleased with the newest plates that Bundle Monster came out with. They stamp so well and the size is perfect for my nails.

Thank you for reading! More Christmas manicures to come. Let me know what YOU want to see in the comments! Have a great weekend friends. :)

Blue and Gold Manicure

Hey Everyone!  Here is a manicure that I did recently using blue and gold two colors that I think go really well together. I hope you enjoy!

My nails were getting a bit long again, I filed them down the other day. I have been kind of feeling the shorter nails lately I feel like I can do more with them as far as super bold colors.

Bundle Monster plate BM-209 for the Design China Glaze First Mate for the base and the gold is China Glaze Passion . I am still LOVING the newest set of Bundle Monster Plates so many fun designs! Halloween is coming up and these plates have some really perfect designs for it. I can't wait for Halloween I am so stoked..I am already sketching up some fun ideas that I can't wait to share with you all!

Pretty simple but still pretty cool. Thanks for checking it out. I hope you all are having a beautiful day.

All the tea in China

Hello Pretty Ladies! It has been a very long time since I have worn a red polish. This is my favorite one. OPI Quarter of a Cent-Cherry. I have so many red polishes and it seems like they are all OPI. Believe it or not I used to only stick to red,pink and silver polish. I was inspired by a Chinese restaurant on a TV show for this Manicure. The tables had a beautiful deep red table cloth and gorgeous Gold accents. So here is my Asian inspired Manicure.  I hope you guys like it!

OPI Quarter Of A Cent-Cherry is the Base.

China Glaze Passion with Konad Plate M83. The design kind of reminds me of tea leaves. It's awesome I love this plate!

Ooops...wasn't paying attention and messed up on the pointer finger. my bad ;)

What do you guys think? I personally am really digging the Red and Gold Combination on my nails. This one is a keeper! For a few days at least! Thank you so much for reading dolls!

Recycled Mani!! Waste not want not.

My gold digger Mani.. Pretty gold glitter. I wanted to Jazz it up but didn't want to spend 20 minutes removing the three coats of Glitter Polish.  Glitter is Beautiful but it is a BITCH to remove. So what did I do? I added MORE polish on top of it! ha ha YAY.

I used scotch tape to make the clean lines..It was my second go with the tape and it came out MUCH better then the first. When I perfect it I will put up picture or video tutorial. 

Outside with No flash.

Up close! (could have cleaned up more but I was excited to take some pictures of this!)
What do you guys think? Thanks for checking it out and following if you have!!
