I've got a thing for Blue!

Hello friends! I found this blue beauty in the clearance section at Target for under 3 dollars a few months ago so you know I had to pick it up! I was kind of surprised it was in the clearance area because its such a pretty color. Now every time I go to Target I check the clearance section, and they never have any Essie polishes anymore so I guess I just got lucky.

Essie 'Coat Azure'. This is two coats and it applied beautifully. This is the perfect sky blue with just the right amount of shimmer. GAWJUSS!

I jazzed this manicure up using a black polish which was Sinful Colors 'Black on Black' and Bundle Monster plate BM-20.

Do you like?

I want to thank you all for entering in my Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I got so many entries and it is going to take me a while to sort through them all. I will announce the winner on February 29th so stay tuned for that! 

I hope you all enjoyed this manicure..I really liked this one..and it's NOT PINK! HA!

Hugs!!

She's such a Space Cadet!

Hello lovelies! I got this interesting Orly color called Space Cadet from the Cosmic FX collection recently and it is a Chameleon! I applied Three coats and it didn't seem heavy at all. it only felt like one coat actually.

This color changes from green to purple to copper all very shimmery.It was like a different polish every angle. I got a lot of comment/compliments about this polish when I wore it.

A lot of other "nailies" are comparing this to Hard Candys Beatle..I tried looking for that polish but could find it to compare

I was kind of unsure about this polish in the beginning but it kind of grew on me..It looks very pretty in the sunlight and I love the fact that it changes a bunch!

There's NOTHING wrong with a little...experimenting!

Hey friends!  I have always been a fan of mixing colors to make my own new, custom colors. In the nail polish world its called a Franken (which I think is pretty freaking cool lol!) Now, keep an open mind when mixing...they can't all be gems. Sometimes the color isn't what you expect, sometimes different nail polish formulas don't mix well at all and the application of the "new" polish is crap even though the color looks fabulous in the bottle, you just never know until you put it on your nail. I guess thats just the way it goes...I usually mix with polish that I am running out of..especially If I like it enough to buy it again..its fun to see what you can make..for example...

I mixed Sally Hansen Celeb City//N.Y.C Skin Tight Denim Creme// Revlon Bewitching Bordeaux these mixed together make a nice shimmery dark purple with a brown undertone. 

This was the final result! It's a little more brown then I like but I actually really like it on my nails..

                                      

The base was an almost empty bottle of Seche Vite top coat...well, almost empty to me is a third left in the bottle ha ha. All you polish junkies know there is NOTHING like a fresh bottle of Seche Vite *sigh*.  Also, since I did use Seche Vite as the base it dries SUPER FAST!

                                        

I might need to do a bit more tweaking to get the color Perfect...but the applications was GREAT! I used two coats but I honestly think one would have been enough. What do you lovelies think of this color? Would you wear it? How would you change it?

                                        

All in all I am pleased with this Franken, I can't wait to see it in the Sunlight. I think that will be the deciding factor in whether or not I change the formula or not..Oh and I am still trying to come up with a name for this color...Any suggestions??

Back in Black..Urban Decay: The Black Palette

Urban Decay is one of my favorite Make-up Lines. I fell in love with their bright, funky eyeshadow colors years ago and I have quite the collection. When a new palette gets released I get so excited! I get this feeling that I HAVE to have it..even if I have most of the colors I don't care. (I don't just use my eyeshadow for my eyes ha ha.) I recently saw in the Sephora catalog  the Urban Decay: Black Palette and the colors are beautiful! I bought it and in 4 days my new love was here! Check out the Pikchas!

As always with Urban Decay the Packaging is fun! Black with Sparkles..(I am pretty sure I will buy anything that has glitter on/in it..what can I say...I'm a Sucker)

Black Dog- Dark DARK matte Black
 Barracuda(awesome song!) - Smokey Shimmery grey
Jet-Shimmery Plum
Sabbath- Deep Royal Blue with Shimmer
Cobra- Dark, Rich Olive green with Shimmer
Libertine- Hunter Green with Shimmer

The Bottom three are my favorites!
And as with most UD palettes It also come with a mini 24/7 eyeliner in ZERO and a Mini Primer Potion in Eden (not shown)
