Yup, still loving the marbling thing!






Thursday, July 5, 2012

I really like black polish with glittery stuff.

From left to right:
$OPI - "Never Enough Shoes" (good god, this is one of my favorite polishes ever!)
Revlon - "Dark Pleasures - Talk Dirty"
Kleancolor - "Golden Nightmare" (love that name!)
Color Club - "With Abandon"
 Gold Nightmare (Ring Finger) is a bit chunky on the nail. I assume some top coat would even that out a little bit better.
 I wasn't super impressed with Color Club's With Abandon when I put it up against all the others.
 I found this Revlon (Middle finger) at the dollar store last year and haven't worn it yet. I'm definitely going to soon - it's hot!
 Never Enough Shoes (Index Finger) has been in my "Top 20 favorite polishes" since it came out. It's freakin amazing!
VERDICT: No dupes here!
If I had to get rid of one: I'd say goodbye to With Abandon.

Some Nail Art stuff I've been trying out...

 Needle Marble Mani

I'm still mastering this one, but I like it. It's not easy though!


 Part of my problem is, I can't stick to one look. I want to throw every color I own on at once!

I saw this tutorial on Youtube and wanted to try it. Mine did not come out as nice, but came out better than I thought it would. Definitely going to try it again!


I love the ombre/gradient look. I did this with a cut up makeup sponge and then added a layer of sheery pearly white over it. I didn't come out as seamless as I wanted, but I used like 4 different colors. Next time I think I'll just use two and sponge it on thicker...?

Rocking nails!

We went to see one of my favorite bands, Rev Theory, last night. They killed it as always!



This was my mani. $OPI "Never Enough Shoes" as a base and Wet-n-Wild Fireworks layered on top. I loved this! It got a lot of compliments!




I love the big, holo glitter pieces in fireworks.





We met the band after and I had them sign my cd. Great night! :)
Ironically, we went to see All That Remains on Friday, and the mani I wore was Color Club's Revvvolution. No pics though. :D

I'm with Brad starring Merry Midnight tips...

I've been obsessed with Merry Midnight lately.
"I'm with Brad" wasn't quite what I hoped it would be.

I thought it needed something a little "extra".



I really loved how this came out and wore it for about 4 days, a long time for me!


I don't think these pictures quite captured how awesome this mani was! But, I tried. Now I want to try Merry Midnight tips on every polish I have!





$OPI - I'm with Brad

NEVER ENOUGH...NAIL POLISH!



It's a shame I only had my crappy camera with me, because Sephora by OPI's "Never Enough Shoes" is quite glorious.




It looks black, but it's got coppery colored sparkles in there. It applied like a dream and wore really well. I'm definitely going back for seconds soon with this one and I promise to get better pictures.

Blacks, Greys, Glitters, Holos, Yippie!

$OPI "Never Enough Shoes", $OPI "212", OPI "My Private Jet", Color Club "Revvolution" China Glaze "OMG"



"Never Enogh Shoes" has been so far in my "untried" pile. I really need to fix that, it's gorgeous! MPJ and Revvolution remain two of my favorites, and I am feeling better about 212. OMG is of course, OMG awesome!




Ah, greys, gorgeous greys! Thumb - Pinky we have: Zoya Freja, China Glaze Recycle, Obsessvie Compulsive Cosmetics, "Dangerous", Zoya "Harley" and China Glaze "OMG".



Recycle and Dangerous are quite different, which is a relief. Recycle is thinner and lighter in color. It's still untried except for this swatch. Waiting for inspiration.
