Koalaberries and Winterberries

Today I have a fun springy combo!

I started off with two coats of OPI Koalaberry, a beautiful deep pink.  I can't do baby pinks with my skin, but this one is perfection!   The application and coverage of this was perfect.

Then I added one coat of Lacquistry Winterberry, a multi-colored glitter topper that went perfectly with the OPI.  As with all of my Lacquistry, this went on easily and had great coverage.  Jenna does an amazing job with her creations, I swear she has glitter in her veins!

 Lacquistry polish can be purchased at her Etsy Store.  OPI can be purchased at Ulta.

Radium is a Floozy

Today I started off with Illamasqua Radium, a shimmery bright yellow-y lime color that defies description, but it is pretty amazing on the nail.

I scored this on the big Illamasqua sale at the JC Penney Sephora for 8 bucks.  WOOT.  I was thrilled with the application and how it looked on the nail, this is two coats.

Then I put one coat of Amy's Nail Boutique Floozy over top.  Floozy is a multi-colored small hex glitter party on my nails.  I was in love!  As always application and ease of use was perfection!

Hoof Wrastling an Orgasm

I've emerged from the ashes!

Gah, this has been a busy month, I've had to take on more at work due and so that has left very little time for play.

BUT I'm starting to lighten up a bit!

I started off with two coats of NARS Orgasm, a beautiful shimmery peach that is named after NARS most famous (and popular) color - Orgasm.  I thought this was a sheer, lovely palate cleanser.  It does show some visible nail line, but I can forgive because it was just so pretty on the nail.

As the wear time increased, I put Rainbow Honey Hoof Wrastle on top.  Hoof Wrastle is an orange based jelly with shimmers and glitters galore and I loved the way these two paired together!    The gold in Hoof picked up the gold undertones in Orgasm so well. 

  NARS can be purchased at Nordstrom.  Rainbow Honey can be purchased at their website:  www.rainbowhoney.com

Mermaidia has a Blue Christmas

Today I have a great polish pairing.

I started off with 2 coats of Amy's Nail Boutique Mermaidia - a blue polish with a holographic shimmer.  Then I used Feenix Blue Christmas on an accent nail.

I loved the way these worked together and I liked the subtlety of the accent nail.

Amy's Nail Boutique can be purchased through her Etsy Store.   It is her 1 year birthday, so use the code  HAPPYBIRTHDAY for free shipping!   Feenix is no more, but I have seen them on blog sales!

Dove is a Carbon Allotrope

Today I have NerdLacquer Carbon Allotrope over Zoya Dove.  I have no photos of Dove by itself because I was really unhappy with the formula.  It was a total cuticle pooler and that was a total pita to clean up!

However when I topped it with Carbon Allotrope, it came alive!  I LOVED this polish, it has plenty of shimmer from the diamond dust and gave a gray mani some huzzah that it needed.

Avant Garden Nail Art

Today I have a dotticure that I did with several of the colors from the China Glaze Avant Garden collection.

I started off with two coats of Fancy Pants, then I proceeded to do the dots with Tarty for the Party (purple), Pinkie Promise (pink), Fade into Hue (periwinkle in middle bullseye) and Keep Calm Paint On (green in the middle).

I loved the way these colors came together, I only wish the dots were more uniform!

I loved the shimmer on these as well, such a great collection

Zoya Tie-Dye

Today I have something fun I tried, I started off with a base of two coats of Zoya Purity.

This is my new go-to true white base!  I thought it went on well and had great coverage.

Then I took Zoya Rocky (blue) and Josie (green) and used a large kitchen sponge to dab it on.  The result was an awesome tie-dye effect!

I absolutely love the way this turned out!

Rocky and Josie are from the new Zoya Stunning 2013 Summer Collection and I'm thrilled with these two colors.

The quality on all of my Zoya polishes are outstanding.

Purple Prism

In case you have heart, 45 of us have gotten together for a Spring Fling!  Enter the contest here!  

Today I have a spectacular holo to share with you -  Amy's Nail Boutique Purple Prism.

WOW!  Ya'll know how much I love my Amy's, but this one was just drool worthy the minute she posted it on her site.

I love how saturated the color is, with a holo that is bananas. 

Prepare yourself for an onslaught of picture spam!
