Candy Nails (and unexpected glitter)

its a cold and rainy night here in South Carolina, well colder than what I wish it were, so to cheer up the mood  I have for you: Candy Nails!!

Kind of. They remind me of candy. Maybe theyll remind you of something else?

Please excuse the "glitter fingers". We all know how much of a pain Glitter removal is >_<

Just a little swatch of LuciDarling Tender Mint. It has a really nice shimmer that I cant resist!

Candy Nails!

Etude House in Tender Mint

Petites Color Fever in Fiji

Sally Hansen in Lively Lilac

Zoya in Demi

The lines are not very nice close up. For some reason, my hands were shaking like crazy! eh well, it looked nice from a not so zoomed distance :D

Now on to the unexpected glitter...

in my Etude House swatch post I showed you this little thingy:

if the spoons look familiar, its because I used the empty side of the Zoya color Palette >_>

The second polish from the left is simply called Black, but as you can see it has some nice green/teal glitter flecks

I left this laying on my desk, and when I walked by it one morning, I noticed something else.

not only  does it have green flecks, it also has purple!

This sadly named Black polish is a lot more exciting than its name would make you believe.
Can you guess what Ill be wearing next?

Until next time ^_^

Circles and Cells

This mani was created out of boredom during my holiday break. I had been wearing BB Couture's Michael which held up like a beast! this color hardly chips, it's ridiculous! Michael is a very pretty purple with blue shimmer, but after 2 days of him, I needed a change. It's not him, it's me... >_>

So out came the Konad!

BB couture in Michael

Chameleon in Calypso

Etude House in Fantastic Heart Topcoat

Turns out Calypso makes a neat stamping color. Subtle but pretty :D 

And the BM stamp kind of reminds me of the cells we had to draw in Bio class

Until next time ^_^

Because Zoya is awesome

I decided to do a mani using a couple of my favorite Zoya colors in celebration of the amazing promotion they  had this week ^_^ 3 free bottles of good quality polish of my choice? beyond awesome!

I used a trick from Chloe's Nails that she called the shredded mani. Click on the link to see how to do it for yourself. It really is super easy!

Zoya in Charla

Zoya in Ibiza

If you have ever seen Charla for yourself, than you know that this picture does not do it justice. It is simply amazing. A foiley blue base with green micro glitter creates polish perfection.

Ibiza, though not as fancy, is a remarkable navy creme.

So there you go! A thanks to Zoya for their amazing promotion. I can't wait to get my stuff in the mail!

Until next time ^_^

Black Holo Goodness!

Hello all

Today I have a simple little mani to show off my new black holo from Etude House

The color was so shiny and shimmery that I didnt really want to cover it up so I just added some silver swirly stamps

Etude House Black Glam

Sally Hansen Celeb City

The only downside to this color is how weirdly it dried... It was very matte and bumpy...

Took about 3 coats of Seche Vite to get this result

in the end however, I do like Black Glam. It's a lot more holoey than my Petites Color Fever which is what I was hoping for! Maybe one day I can get my hands on My Private Jet *_*

Until next time ^_^

Smudgy Gradation

In the past I have mostly done gradients that used colors of the same family  because its a lot easier... So I decided to try it with 2 completely different colors, purple and green. Blending was a little hard so I decided to smudge the line with some Out The Door which worked great! I just glopped a ball of Out The Door on the middle of the nail and used the brush to blend the 2 colors together.

Etude House in Beach Green

Etude House in Plum Chou

Etude House in Heart topcoat

Topped the whole shebang with some glittery topcoat (with hearts) and tadah!

Until next time ^_^

Etude House Polish

Etude House is a Korean brand cosmetic company. One of their spokesperson is Lee Min Ho, gorgeous actor from Boys Over Flowers ^_^

I have been wanting Etude House polishes since the first time I laid eyes on them on a friend's Facebook page.

The bottle is so cute and the colors available are actually really interesting!

So I arranged a swap with a wonderful person in Singapore who had access to this brand.

There they are!

Dear Darling Nails Bling Bling collection

Black Glam, Black, and Spangle Purple

Peach blush and Strawberry blush

LuciDarling Collection

Tender Mint, Ruby Purple, and Mint

Petite Darling Nails HD Beam and High Heel Pedicure (white cap)

Plum Chou, Beach Green, Fantastic Heart PealTop coat

I have no idea what the blue one is called. It was a gift from the the swapper :D

Out of the 12 I have tried 8 of them and I have found the formula to be quite good. The cremes are opaque in  2 coats and they are neither think nor runny. Glitters are amazing! The black glam required about 3 coats of topcoat before it became shiny, but the color only took 2 coats to be opaque.

The LuciDarling collection is by far my favorite. The mint colors have this amazing shimmer to them and the ruby purple has cute silver stars and hexes

Here is a quick swatch of some of them. Expect to see the rest of the colors pop up soon!

Glam Black, Black, Peach Blush, Strawberry Blush, Purple Spangle, Purple Ruby

as always, you can click on the picture to make it bigger! :D

I am getting more Etudes at the end of the month because I am so pleased with these. The colors are so unique and the pretty bottles are too awesome to pass up!

you can get these from directly from Etude House USA for around $4 to $7 a bottle

you can also get these on ebay from rubyruby76  for $1 to $8 a bottle. I have never purchased polish from her but I did get some BB creams. She ships directly from S. Korea but she is very prompt and very nice.

Classy Stripes

Black and white stripes are amazing. I wear them all the time. Black and white in general is usually a win.

Here is my stripey black and white mani!

Sally Hansen in White out

NYX in Black

Sally Hansen in Celeb City

Stripe Rite in White

Art Deco in Black and in Silver

So classes are out for winter break! woooo! which means I will have more time to do  my nails and upload what Ive got :)

Until next time ^_^

Purple Mani

I have a lot of purple nail polish. Mostly because I like purple so much :)
So I got out all of my purple shades and glitters and made a purple mani!

These pics are from the day after I did it so some colors (Chameleon for example) started to chip. Also after I broke my index nail changing the trash in the Rat-Cave
 :(

Exam break :)

Im taking a break from finals so I decided to post a quick picture of some nails I did earlier. Nothing fancy, I just wanted to try out this holo looking black I got. Not so very holo after all, but it was pretty shimmery!

I will be back with more posts as soon as finals are over. Ive got some pretty neat things to show you, like my new Etude House polishes!! :D
