Water Marble week- Day Five

Hi all today's water marble is all purples! I used China Glaze's Grape Juice, Spontaneous, Avalanche and White on White (I know not purple but it did help add a pop of color). 


Purple is one of my favorite colors. I liked putting different shades of purple together for this...usually I'd put together contrasting colors but I like this a lot!

Water Marble Week- Day Four

Hey everybody:) Today for day four in our week of water marbles I have an old one that I dug up and just never put it in a post. I think it really reminded me of one I had already did during last summer or the one before.
I thought that everyone needed something bright to look at so here is my Bright Lights Water Marble :)



As y'all can tell I had a tan in these pictures from last summer, I'm kinda pale right now lol. But isn't this just awesome, the way the colors blend and make other colors. I ♥ this mani. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Happy Polishing Everyone!
Love,

Water Marble Week- Day Three

 Hi y'all I know today is Holographic Quick Shot day... but since it's Water Marble week I switched it up a tad. The first few pictures show you China Glaze White on White, Sexy in the City, Ride the Waves and Deviantly Daring.




These last few pictures Show the water marble top coated with Hits Hefesto. 


I showed this to a friend of mine and she told me it reminds her of the ocean! ^_^ I really like this combo with or without Hefesto!

Water Marble Week- Day Two

Hey everybody :) Today I have a blue water marble for y'all. This one was a little tricky, had a few dots and water bubbles. These two colors just marbled so well together I had to show you even with the dots ♥ Here are my pictures.




So what do y'all think of these two colors together? I love the teal with the dark blue, they really set each other off well :)

Zoya Pixie Dust

Hi all! Today I have for you Zoya's Pixie Dust Collection which are matte, sparkled, and textured. These are 2 to 3 coaters--Chyna, Dahlia and London are 2 coats---Godiva, Nyx and Vespa are 3 coates. For me the lighter colors I could see vnl so I added another coat of polish. Drying time was around 7 to 10 minutes (no base coat as instructions from Zoya's website). Zoya's Pixie Dust Collection feel like a nail file not rough but bumpy. 



Chyna is a wonderful red that sparkles like Judy Garland's shoes she wore when she played Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (but matte). Such a wonderful bright red. 


Dahlia is black with grey sparkles. Dahlia reminds me of a road that has just been paved but it sparkles brightly.


Godiva is a nude as you can see it's really close to my skin tone but Zoya says that it's good for both warm and cool skin tones.


 London is gray with sparkle. London reminds me of storm clouds right before it rains.

 Nyx is a periwinkle that leans more towards purple for me but definitely has blue in it.

 Vespa is a pretty mint green.

All of the Pixie Dust polishes have a wonderful "sugar sparkle" that is silver glitter that really shines nicely . I liked the textured feel it really wasn't bad or over much. I did have a feeling that it might be overly rough or snag in your hair if you play with it...nope none of those issues at all.

What do you think? Will you try some of these? What is your favorite?

Fan Brush Mani

Hey everybody:) Today I have a "Fan Brush Mani" , this is a super easy mani that I think everybody can do.
I started off with a base coat of Zoya Midori. And after that was fully dried I used my fan brush from my nail art brushes and Kleancolor Wild Rose to start. I gently dipped my brush into a small drop of polish and dabbed off and extra, then brushed the fan brush over my nail... starting from one side edge to the other. After that had dried I took Nail Fantasies Celestial and fanned on top of the other colors, making sure I did cover everything up. Here is the final result :)





I really love this look, there are so many color combos you can do and always have a new look :) Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Fantasea

Hi everyone! Today I have for you Orly Fantasea I picked this up awhile ago when I picked up Orly Butterfly! I have worn it maybe one time but I was going through my polish and knew it was time to wear it again.  This is 3 thin coats of Fantasea, I used three coats because I had a vnl with two. 


Have you ever had a color in your stash and not used it...then you pick it up and wear it and wonder why you waited? I love purple and should shown this off sooner!

A dozen red roses please!

Hi everyone I have a real easy slook for you today. A white base with stamping in KleanColor Metallic Red (plate from Llarowe LLC-A) with a bit of sparkle on top of it all with INM Northern Lights Hologram top coat. 




Thanks for looking!
What are you wearing on your nails for Valentine's day?

Alana is Wild at Heart!

Hi all today I have for you Sea Lore Alana over a bubble gum pink then I stamped it with Color club Wild at Heart (plate from LLarowe LLC-A). The stamp is from the XL plate that LLarowe sells I think they may be a tad to big for my nails when they are this short but I do like the look!




I really do like how you can still see through the stamp to see the glitter! :)
