Serum No 5: Glowin' of Eden is so Awesome Blossom Together!

Hiya Guys!


Today I have for you a super adorable, spring like mani, using some Serum No5 polishes. These were released in the spring, but I haven't worn them till now, and even if it is a bit out of season, I am still loving these polishes. I used Glowin' Of Eden and Awesome Blossom in today's post.

And of course! the glow shot! 

First, let me start off by saying, I had a little fail with these nails, and at first I wasn't going to share these with you guys, but then I remembered that I want this blog to document it all. The good, the bad, and downright terrible, so posted they were! Now, let me explain what happened,  the stamp transferred cleanly, however, since it was a scribble like design, the tips look like it didn't, since those were the tops of the hearts that went off the tip of the nail so it ended up just looking a bit messy, I should have lined the stamp up a bit better, but I learned, and will know better for next time. When you are not up close you can't tell at all, so even with that small bit of fail on my part, I still love, love how this turned out, not to mention it is so fun in the dark!

To get this look, I started with a base of Glowin of Eden on all my fingers. It was a bit sheer, at least for me, perhaps since my nails are longer, and to get rid of all VNL I ended up with 4 thin coats, it wasn't a huge issue, but something I thought I would note. I think next time I use this polish, I will start with a white base. Once that was dry, I taped my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers and painted Awesome Blossom onto the tips. I sponged on in a checkered pattern Glowin' Of Eden and Awesome Blossom onto my middle and ring fingers, and then stamped over that in Vivid Lacquer plate VL 009. I then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on top and voila!  glowy nails! 

Overall, despite my slight stamping fail, which in hindsight I should have fixed, I still really adore this look, and can see myself wearing these glow polishes over and over again. Plus, charging them up and playing with them in the dark is so much fun! :P I am such a dork sometimes! Ha Ha! 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today, I hope everyone is having a great week. I know, I missed Red Coat Tuesday again this week, but between school and general summer chaos I just lost track of time, and they didn't get done. I did watch the episode though, and the thing I have been hoping would happen, happened!. I have so much Caleb love it is ridiculous, I can't help it, his awesome makes my heart happy! Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

Serum No5 Atomic Peach with some MoYou London Stamping!

Evening Guys!!


It is late, and this almost didn't get done, but I managed to get this out, so yay! small victory! It is  pretty busy for me this week. I am doing a friends nails for her wedding  (including the wedding party) and I also have another friend from out of town, staying with me for a couple of days before that, so things to say the least are hectic!


I will get right to it today, since as you can guess, I am a bit pressed for time, tonight's mani is featuring a gorgeous pastel orange shade, that is just stunning, and if that wasn't awesome enough it glows in the dark!  This is how I wore Serum No5 Atomic Peach.

And of course, this wouldn't be complete without a glow shot!! I apologize in advance for my less then stellar GITD image, this was my first time photographing a GITD polish, and it was definitely a learning experience!

I think this turned out really neat! I really like how the roses stand out in the dark, and they look super elegant in the light. I also love the shimmer in Atomic Peach, it is super subtle, and really pretty. I am pretty sure the shimmer comes from the glow pigments, but I could be mistaken on that. Either way, it makes it such a gorgeous shade. It is a tad on the sheer side, I used 3 coats to reach opacity, however, if I had shorter nails, or wasn't taking such up close pictures of my finished mani, 2 probably would have be fine. 

For this look, I used Serum No5 Atomic peach as my base, once that was dry, I stamped using  MoYou London Princess Plate 12 in piCture pOlish Swagger. I figured Swagger would be perfect to stamp with, and I was right. The studs are from Born Pretty Store. This was a pretty easy look to get, which is great for me this week, since I am a little short on time.

I don't have a large collection of GITD shades, I think only 3-4 at most, but every time I wear them, I have such fun with them, that it certainly makes me question why I don't have more. Do any of you have any awesome GITD polishes? Do you wear them often? Or are they "Halloween only" polishes? Let me know in the comments! 

I think that mostly covers it this evening. I will put out a small note here. I am  hoping, and hoping is the key word here, to get another post out before the end of the week, however, with my insane week, I can't make any promises. Unfortunately, I am not good at stock piling posts, so I don't have to much to work with in my drafts...sorry!! but I will sincerely try to get something out before the weekend,  and if not, I will have something this weekend I am sure. Alright, till next time Kittens! <3
