Let it snow Challenge Winter wonderland

Hi
I dont know about you guys but Im sick of being cold. I live in California and I am tired of nice days here and freakishly cold day the next. For this post I really wasn't to inspired but when I think of winter wonderland I think of dark blue and white everywhere, so here it is.

I used OPI Swimsuit.. Nailed it and Zoya Ginessa . To mix the two colors I used the fan brush method. Super easy method to create nice mixture of color.

Well I don't know about you guys but Im definitely ready for the roses to start growing again.

Krafy Gurl 2013 Valentine Collection Review

Hi guys,
Super excited to swatch my First Valentine Collection today. Todays Collection is from Jeanine of  Krafty Gurl Desings. . This is her 2013 Valentine Collection.

You can purchase these as a set on Jeanines etsy store.

Collection of 4: $20 can't beat that price.

Individual: $6.50

It is a great price and I know there is a polish for every personality here. So on with the swatches!

First up is Box of chocolates, which has small brown glitter with bits of holographic glitter.

Top: Three coats without a base color. This is so rich in dark and holographic glitter and the sparkle is really great. 

Bottom: OPI Skyfall ase a base, this reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries. Application was smooth and the consistency of her formula is good. 

Left with a three coats, right with a base coats. This polish is great if you don't want to add a base coat to your mani.

Next is Puppy love, it has large pink and white hexes mixed with smaller lavender and red hexes. This is great with a grey base or a light lavender. This is great if you want a mani that is light on the eyes but sparkly when it needs to be, and not to girly.

Next is Hearts a Fire. This has got to be my favorite of the bunch. When I looked at it I thought it was a nice glitter topper and that it. It was not until I actually put it on my nails, that I was blown away. 

 This polish is loaded with red hexes and squares of different sizes as well as black hexes and squares. The great part was to discover black bars, which brought the whole thing together. To really bring out the features of this polish, a light base seems appropriate, I used a nude OPI. I will be posting a white mani for valentine day and I used this polish and it is absolutely great with white.

Bubbles are due to topcoat application not polish.

 I decided to do a bit of freehand on this. So cute with hearts. This polish just screams love!

Last is Burning Desire, a glitter top with gold and red hexes and squares. I tried with lighter colors, but I found it to really pop with a darker color like the one I used here. I applied two coats of glitter.

Zoya Natty as base color

 This is different from the rest of the collection yet it stills follows the same glitter theme. It is very sophisticated and great for all of us who are not to big on valentines day.

As a whole this collection is great, they where all very easy to apply and very generous with glitter. I could have applied one application to each and been satisfied.

So tell me which best suits your valentine personality? Clearly I am a sucker for love, are you?

Enjoy!

These polishes where bough by the blogger and are reviewed for entertainment and information purposes.

Crumpet 31 Day Challenge Day 31 Recreate someone else's mani

Hi
Today is the last day of the challenge, all I can say is phew! This was my first big challenge and it was really hard to make one mani a day and, ow no, take it off the next day. Not all my manis where excellent but there sure where some that I wanted to keep for a day or two. The last challenge is recreate someone else's from the challenge and I of course, to no surprise, am recreating Alexis from Glitter tips Day 8 duochrome. You can find the original post here.

I dont have any duochrome so I decided to just do chrome. This is what I used

For index and pinky: base Sally Hansen Co-bolt Blue followed with a gradient of Wet n wild Buffy the Violet slayer, and the tips are Essie good as gold.

For the rest: OPI My boyfriend scales walls. I made the tips using the colors I used on my chrome fingers. The black used is Wet n wild Ebony hates Chris, which is not very good for dotting, I waited ten minutes before adding my top coat and it still smeared :/

Well guys what do you think did I nail it or what! 

The great thing about this is 

I GET TO WEAR IT FOR MORE THEN 24 HOURS YEAY!

Enjoy!

Thank you Debbie Crumpet for setting this up!

Crumpet 31 Day Challenge Day 30 Your Favorite Technique

Hi All! Today I am using my favorite technique. I don't know if it's my favorite technique, I think it's my favorite fast go to technique, which I always use. I do a lot of sponging. It's easy, you cant't mess up, and the color combinations are endless. I also added a little stamp because I am so happy my stamping skills have improved.

For this I used a nude OPI, Im sorry the little tag came off. With a sponge I did a gradient using OPI Suzi loves Cowboys. On my ring finger I sponged in any place with both colors. I used my konad stamp kit and stamped some leopard on my ring finger.

Closeup!

Here is what the nude looked on its own. This color was really sheer, 3 coats where applied and opacity was not reached but that okay.

I love this look, it's natural and work friendly.

 On a side note I am doing a series of tutorials in March, feel free to look up some looks you would like me to cover.

Thanks Please check out the other ladies!

Pokemon Challenge Fire Pokemon

Hi
Quick post today, my mom has been super sick and I have been doing everything in  the house so I'm trying to get all this and nails done. This week is fire Pokemon, as a result, I choose Torchic, a cure little fire chick who I'm sure is as tough as he is cute.

 Base: OPI Suzi loves cowboys
 Glitter Gradient: KB shimmer Wrappers Delight , a color made for Christmas, but I thought it would be nice to use it for  a nice background to this cure little guy.

Enjoy!

Crumpet 31 Day Challenge Day 24 Inspired by a game

Hi
Todays Challenge is inspired by a game. Well this wasn't very hard for me, I'm a gamer inside and I love it. I have a Wii at home and love Mario Bros. On my phone I have a lot of puzzle game. So when I saw todays challenge, I thought of only one game CONTRE JOUR. A very fun game with a very cute "monster" the object of the game is to get him to the "light". The music is so beautiful and serene, I could play this all day, and I have :).

 For this look I used the following
Base : Two coats of OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine!
For the sponging I first layered Zoya Carey and then Maybeline Porcelan Party .
For the little flowers and details and my little monster I used Finger Paints Nail art In Ch-art-coal-black
I topped it all off with one coat of Seche Vite.

 Theres my cute little monster. I love looking at his guy.

All in all I think I nailed it. I am really going to dread taking this off tomorrow :(

Please let me know what you guys think!

Enjoy
