Naughty Kitty: Color Club Yum Gum and Smash Hit

Hello ladies,

I wanted to create a fun, boudoir style manicure. I had a little help from a naughty kitty. Neon pink and black crackled French tips provide a stylish backdrop for a bit of mischief and delight. 

From image plate D26, I stamped the retro cats using black Konad special polish. I created a funky French with the fractured polish, Smash Hit. Rainbow crystal bows adorn the center. The French line sparkles with Art Club silver glitter. Kitty used her tail to steal a pearl.   

Yum Gum is a bold and pretty neon. The scent of bubble gum is subtle and pleasant. I appreciated the ease in application. Three coats over a whitening base brought perfect opacity.

I have been having a great time experimenting with the Fractured Collection. Painting Smash Hit across my tips created a lacy effect, and complemented the naughty kitty.

You will be seeing more of the Color Club Fractured Collection this week. The kitty might have a little something in mind.

Color Club Yum Gum and Smash Hit were sent to me for review. These polishes can be purchased at victoriasnailsupply.com.

I purchased the D series image plates from chez-delaney.com.

Happy painting, ladies!

Revlon Just Tinted...Mystical

Good Morning on this Happy Friday!! *_*

I'm off from work today and will be in front of my TV watching the Casey Anthony Trial.  Whose watching besides me? Lol!  I know I'm not the only one. 

Here is the last Revlon Just Tinted...Mystical.  It's a dusty mauve jelly or like a juicy raspberry color.  3 coats used with Seche Vite Topcoat.

The bottle color is accurate

I did an accent nail design using LA Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquers in Black and White

There you have it.  I hope you enjoy your long weekend.

Win It Wednesday with Revlon!

Good Afternoon!

I have a couple of awesome Revlon's that are just awesome to have.  Top Speeds.  During last year everyone was getting the top speeds from CVS with a coupon. About a week ago one of my Walgreen's had a manager's special for .99 cents can you believe it!?

Royal is a must have.  It's a gorgeous royal blue jelly.  I adore it because it's blue and it's a jelly!  Next is Electric it's a sunshine slightly shimmer yellow.  Many are comparing it to Chanel's Mimosa.  I have seen side by side swatches and I could not tell the difference.  It was said that the Revlon has the better formula.  Way to go Revlon!  Next is Black with Envy.  Now when I saw the display at Ulta it didn't look special to me but I picked it up anyway and I'm glad I did.  It's a beautiful black with a tinge of green shimmer.  It's a really close dupe to Chanel's Black Pearl.  High five to Revlon!

Here are my swatches:

                        Royal

It dries to a semi matte finish

Added one coat of Revlon ColorStay topcoat. These pictures are from my post back in December

Electric

It does have a slight shimmer

I wanted to see what it looked like with a coat of Revlon's Banana Blaze Glimmer Gloss. A pretty yellow sparkly glitter.  My picture doesn't give it justice.  I applied 2 thin coats and one thick coat of Electric. 

                            Black with Envy

Great formula only needed 2 coats

From the bottles Chanel Black Pearl has more green in it.  On the nail it's only a slight difference.  They are close.  I used 2 coats on both.  I think Black with Envy is just as pretty!

Can you tell the difference here?

or here?  Very close right?

Funky French and Decorative Scissors

Good Morning,

Believe it or not I wore Blue Monday's mani up to now. I did not add any nailart to my My dominate hand like I did my right hand.  Yes, I  went to work looking like this. Lol!  After seeing Erika's mani from Chloe's Nails she is so great with her tape method.  Well, she did a mani using decorative scissors.  After work yesterday I went to Michaels and bought a bucket of these decorative/craft scissors.  Yes, they had a bucket of 12 for $9.99.  The one I used (victorian) came as a single pair was not included in the bucket. The name of the design is on each one and each pair is a different color.  Really cute.

Please don't laugh the design is alittle distorted I definately need more practice.  Ha Ha :/

                                          Victorian

Loreal Ocean Breeze,  Victorian Scissors, Orly Matte Vinyl (Matte Couture Collection 2009)

See my funky french my ring, and pinky fingers were a little stubborn.

I was thinking about taking the scissors back to the store because I had a hard time cutting the tape.  If the tape was thicker it would cut so much better.  I finally got the hang of it though.  Added a shiny topcoat (Revlon Colorstay) because I didn't like the matte look on my tips.

Tip:  Through my research overtime these will get dull after repeated use, but they can be sharpened by cutting through tin foil.

So what do you think?  Will you try using these scissors for your mani designs?

Erika, thanks for another way for designing our mani's! Whoo Hoo 

     

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

I'm Not Lying I love Nail Polish...

Okay, I have one more crackle mani to show you for this week.  This time I layered OPI Black Shatter horizontally.  It gave it a new spin on the crack look.  It looks like I had my nails under one of those lie detector machines.  Doesn't it? Lol!

If you want to see the purple polish its Aren't You Glad-ioulous ('New' from the Finger Paints Palette of Petals Collection) alone click here

Funky French Mani
