China Glaze Techno Teal + Sally Hansen Grey Area

July 30, 2011

WOW! This polish was amazing... I kept staring at its gorgeousness ALL day!!! You just HAVE to click on that top photo above to enlarge it...You can really see how awesome this polish is. This is two coats of China Glaze Techo Teal. Of course, I can't have a manicure without adding a little something extra (even though this polish didn't need it). I stamped it with a leave print or at least I think it is a leave or feather print. I am not really sure....But I used Sally Hansen Grey Area. I chose that color because I didn't want a stamp that popped. I wanted one that kind of blended in. So what do you think?

Very First buy from http://www.8ty8beauty.com/

This is a quick review I wanted to personally do. I was not sent review items, these I bought on my own.

I saw some people talk about how they recently purchased from a website "http://www.8ty8beauty.com/". I decided to check out the website and I noticed they had some great china glaze colors, and for cheap. I decided to purchase from them. I bought 6 china glaze polishes called "Golden Enchantment", "Meteor Shower", "Skyscraper","Mahoganie", "Flower Girl", and "CG In The City". I would love to say how excited I am for these. They came in perfect packaging. But most of all my reason for this post is how fast their shipping is. I ordered on July 27th. I just got my package in today.. TWO days later. THAT'S IT! Two days! Fastest shipping I have ever encountered. This is the polish's and the packaging:

Last post has massive white balance even though I put it down. Camera doesn't always agree with me.

But I am very pleased with my purchase :)

Grape...Set...Match, with Servin' Up Sparkle & Crackle

I am swatching today my manicure from earlier with Grape...Set...Match and Servin' Up Sparkle on my ring finger again. I added Oxidized Aqua crackle by China Glaze on top of the manicure :)

China Glaze Fairy Dusty + Finger Paints Avante Garden Green

July 13, 2011

Christmas in July???

This manicure reminds me of Christmas!!!!!! I have to admit I love that time of year, so this manicure didn't bother me to wear. I guess it is the green tips. It especially looks like a Christmas manicure when you see the last couple of pictures with the Konad stamps. What do you think? Do you think it looks too much like it should be December?

I started with a clear base coat. Then painted on the tips with Finger Paints Avante Garden Green. Then added one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust over the entire nail. I added a second coat over the tip only. 

Of course, I couldn't stop there.... I had to see what a Konad stamp looked like over it. So I choose a flower stamp.  I personally thought the Konad stamp ruined the manicure. Then I decided it needed a little more, so I added some dots of Avante Garden Green in the middle of the flowers. What do you think of this manicure? It sure sparkled in the sun!!!!

P.S. I know this post is picture heavy...BUT I love posts with lots of pictures so I thought I would start posting more pictures. Do you think I posted too many pictures and should scale back some?

Sally Hansen Dianthus and Freehand design

Today I am showing you a swatch by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure- Dianthus. This is a beautiful reddish pink color. I did not like how it reminded me of melted plastic though when I was applying. These usually chip fast on me, but I only wore for a day before I added a design. I did have tipwear though from doing filing at work.

I got this at Ocean State Job Lot for two dollars. I wouldn't pay for the full seven dollars though, so I feel much better. I didn't mind spending the two dollars.

I actually did this design myself. I used China Glaze "Towel Boy Toy" for the blue stripe and then Art Deco strippers for the silver glitter and black stripe. Then I reused the Sally Hansen color for the pink dots.

Heli-Yum China Glaze

Today is just a simple post. I have on China Glaze 'Heli-Yum" I love this color and have been wanting it for such a long time. It's very opaque and went on so smooth. I love it. Sorry for short nails I had to cut them all from going quahogging (sp?) this past week :)

Gorgeous red color! No sunlight though today =\

Wet n Wild "Lady Luck" with China Glaze "Emotion" Stamp!

Today I am showing you a manicure I did with the base color of Wet n Wild "Lady Luck, stamped with China Glaze "Emotion". I can't believe how long the Wet n Wild lasted! I lasted 5 days with no chipping, and it's just starting to chip now. I bought it for 99 cents at Rite Aide since they had a sale "Buy one get one 50% off". Definately worth buying!!

I also used Mash plates (cheaper replica's of Konad's) m 78 for the butterflies on my thumb and m 22 for the flowery design :)

Also some more polish's for the giveaway came in! Just waiting on a few more then I will host it! :)
