Zoya Arizona to Bring in October!

Hey Guys!!


Happy October! I am a little pressed for time, so let's get right to it. Today I want to show off how I wore Zoya Arizona. Which is a bright true orange creme.

I am still on the fence on if I like this or not. I love the intense sparkle, and I like the stamped pattern. I am just not sure how I feel about all of it together. I am not even really sure where I was going with this, and honestly, I am not sure this worked out! lol

To get this look, I started with a base of Zoya Arizona on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers, and a base of Nail Pattern Boldness Heady Topper on my middle and ring fingers. Heady Topper is gorgeous, but it is on the sheer side, to get this to be opaque I did have to do 4 coats, but it dries pretty quickly for a glitter bomb, so it wasn't so bad.  Once my base was mostly dry, I used Heady Topper and did a glitter gradient, with the polish brush over my pointer and pinky.  I then stamped over my middle and ring fingers, with MoYou London Kaleidoscope Plate 06 in Mundo De Unas 53. I then top coated the whole thing with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I think I started out thinking orange would be a good way to ring in October, but not having much else of a plan, I didn't know what else I was going to do. Sometimes those throw the kitchen sink at it and hope for the best works out for me, and sometimes....not as much! I wouldn't go as far as to say this is a "nail fail" but I wouldn't count it as a win either! Well, you live you learn I guess! :D That is the wonderful thing about nail art, nothing is permanent, so a new day a new design!  Does anyone else have this happen to them!? I know I can't be the only one! :P Let me know in the comments! Till next time Kittens! <3

Maybelline Bleached Neons Dry Brushed and Stamped.

Hey Guys!

Happy Saturday! I am glad it is the weekend, although the cooler weather we have been having, I am not on board with yet! I am still not quite ready for fall and today's nails are a testament of that, since they are anything but fall colours! A while back, I mentioned that I had won a giveaway, and there was some really awesome polishes in it. Well one of the prizes was the Maybelline Bleached Neons. Today's post features a few of them!

First things first, although the bleached neons, apply alright, not great but alright, they had a terrible self leveling issue. I gave up after 3 coats. Maybe today wasn't my day, or I have been spoiled to much by awesome to apply polishes,  but either way, I advise super extreme caution when applying these, since they had more then a few hiccups and some of my images show that :l I still love the colours, even if they weren't the most fun to work with though!

To get this look, I started with a base of  Maybelline Day Glow Teal on my pointer, Maybelline Ultra Violet on my thumb (not shown)  and pinky, and Rica Whiteout on my middle and ring fingers. Once that was dry, I did a glitter gradient on my pinky using Loaded Lacquer Fluffy Macaroons, which is a super fun and whimsical glitter.  I then took Day Glow Teal, Ultra Violet, and Citrus Collide and did the dry brush technique over Whiteout, once I was satisfied with the coverage of my dry brush, I top coated to speed up dry time, and then stamped over it, with  MoYou London Princess Plate 14 in Mundo De Unas Peach. I then top coated everything with HK Girl.

I really love how fun and whimsical this is, and even though it is much more suited to spring/summer then fall, I still love it. As I said before, I am totally not ready for fall yet, so I am still squeezing in some spring/summer manis! :P Is anyone else totally not ready for fall yet? Or have you totally embraced everything fall??

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it all for today! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, I am relaxing and trying to soak up some sun. Till next time Kittens! <3 

Essie Play Date is Disarmed and Dangerous!

Morning Guys!!

I am actually writing this in the middle of the night, 2:53 am to be exact!, however this won't go up till tomorrow morning, so it is morning by the time you are all seeing this. I have been a bit busy the past week,  which is why it has been a quiet around here, but I did manage to snap a few shots of how I recently wore Essie Play Date.

I adore this purple, it is such a fun, squishy looking purple. As you can see, I paired this with a third attempt at a  water marble. I am really proud of how my water marble skills are coming along. Maybe soon, I will be brave enough to do a whole mani outta them, and not just an accent nail! The polishes  used for the water marble are Essie Tart Deco (which I will state yet again I love, love, love) Zoya Micky and Essie Play Date. I topped it off with a bit of China Glaze Fairy Dust, to add some sparkle, cause honestly, who doesn't love sparkle?

 To add a bit more interest to this look, I also added a glitter gradient on my pinky. The glitter I used was Disarmed and Dangerous by Loaded Lacquer. I really love this glitter, not only is it super unique to my collection and gorgeous, it is also awesome to work with.  I had no trouble getting a good amount of glitter on the brush, which made for a super easy glitter gradient.  I will add here, that for some reason, my pinky and my camera did not get along, and it actually looks like a different base colour, it is not. I used a base of Essie Play Date there as well, but for some reason my camera refused to photo it properly. I guess this glitter was to much awesome sauce goodness for it to handle! :P


Alright guys and gals, it is after 3:00 am now, so I really should be getting to bed. I have an early day tomorrow, but my favourite person in the whole wide world is flying in tomorrow morning, so it will totally be worth no sleep!  This is also where I get to add how awesome all of you guys are, and how you will totally forgive me if I am not around much the next week!! I know, this week, now the next!! However, for your awesome patience with my hectic schedule, I have an offering of cookies!! Things will be back to normal after this week I promise!  Till next time Kittens! <3
