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!

What colors from this brand do you like? Let me know your must haves! Thank you for reading!

Luck of the Irish

Hello Friends! I have really missed doing custom hand painted manicures. I have been wanting to do more but I just didn't have the correct tools, so I finally decided to purchase some new brushes and paints specifically for doing custom painted manicures. I am a bit rusty and working with new brushes, so bear with me while I get into the swing of things.(is it bear with me or bare with me? hmmm hahaha!) Why not start things off with a St. Patricks Day Manicure!

I'm holding 'Treasure Chest' from China Glaze a beautiful chunky gold glitter in a clear base. I used some of this gold gem for the glitter gradient on my middle finger. I use mostly acrylic paint for the designs, it dries super fast and is great for color mixing.

A cute leprechaun..gold glitter gradient..a rainbow and a pot of gold! Cute! 

I think my favorite is the pot of gold. :)

I hope you guys like this one! What are you going to be up to on St. Patricks Day? Anyone going to be enjoying some green brew? Whatever it is you do..Be safe and have fun!

China Glaze Aqualdelic

Ummmmmm!! OMG!! I don't really know if this polish could be anymore perfect for me! Let's just get down to business Ladies...

This is two Coats of China Glazes 'Aquadelic' from the ElectroPop Collection. This is like, For Audreys spunky little sister that just wants to go to the beach and listen to live music. hahahaha! Yeah...that description just happened. 

This polish is a gorgeous turquoise creme that is just oh so perfect. I bet this would shine on almost any skin tone...it is for sure to be universally beautiful on anyone.

I am sure this is going to be one of my most used polishes and I might have to purchase a few more just to have back ups...yeah I am a weirdo! 

I hope you guys love this one as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by! Until next time!

Essie Navigate Her

Navigate Her?!  I hardly know her! hahahaha but seriously folks...check out this pretty, perfect for spring polish from Essie.

Essie 'Navigate Her'

Two coats with wonderful application. I really must get more Essie polishes, I love the formula and they have the most beautiful light cremes.

Such a gorgeous pistacio green, I don't have anything quite like this one. :)

What do you guys think of this one? I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for reading.

Happy Sunday!

Make Some Noise for Leopard

It's been quite a while since I featured a leopard print Mani on the blog so what the heck! Here is my first leopard print manicure of 2012 using some of my new polishes from Head2ToeBeauty.com

China Glaze 'Make Some Noise' A beautiful Orangey/red/coral creme. This color kind of has me stumped because I can look at it and see all of those colors..it's kind of tough to describe but it is pretty none the less.

The famous Konad plate M57 with Sinful Colors "Black On Black'

With a dotting tool and China Glaze's 'For Audrey' I added some random spots. I love the bright hot orange/red with touches of cool pretty Tiffany&Co. blue. It's a great color combination for sure and a first for me!

Thank you so much for reading! Happy Friday lovelies, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Riveting

Hello friends! For some reason I had no interest in the Hunger Games collection  until I started reading the books. Now all I can talk about is The Hunger Games. Seriously, if you haven't read them DO IT! I am in the middle of the second book and I don't want to put it down!

 After seeing this orange beauty in person I am regretting not getting the entire collection.

China Glaze 'Riveting' or as I like to call it Electric Pumpkin.

Bright, Bold and sparkly. I am in LOVE!

I thought I would need at least three coats of this polish but two was more than enough. 'Riveting' applies like a dream and the bright orange with pretty gold shimmer looks amazing in the sin light.

Thank you all for reading! Have a fabulous day!
