OPI Can't Find My Czechbook & Bundle Monster BM 317

Hi my polished pretties! Short post. I'm enjoying my Spring Break right now =P Here's a mani I've been wearing for the past 4 days. I used OPI Can't Find My Czechbook and stamped using BM 317 in Konad White. The accent nail is Color Club Harp On It. I'm really loving OPI's entire Euro Centrale Collection that this blue polish is from!

China Glaze Fade Into Hue & Cheeky CH51

Hey loves! Today I have a mani using 3 of my new polishes. Don't you just love when you make a small dent in your "untrieds" list? I'm pretty sure my list is longer than everyone else's, but 3 is better than none.  I used a base of China Glaze Fade Into Hue and stamped using Cheeky CH51 in Color Club Beyond. The glitter is China Glaze Glitz 'N Pieces. I wasn't crazy about this color on me, but with school keeping me so busy, I don't have time to go back and redo stuff like I want to. What do you ladies do when you don't like a color on you: keep going or redo your mani?

Holo Zebra Print

Happy Friday! I have a cool holo zebra print today. I did the zebra print for a special meaning. I quit my job last week after working there for 5 years and some months and the first Konadicure I ever wore to work was a straight black and white zebra print. I decided on my last day I should wear something special even though no one knew what it meant except me LOL. I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and stamped using Konad M57 in Color Club Miss Bliss, Eternal Beauty, and Over the Moon. Index is Eternal Beauty and pinky is Over the Moon. The Color Club polishes I used are both from the new 2013 Halo Hues--I really love them!

Color Club Halo Hues Collection Swatches

Hey lacquerheads! Today I have Color Club's Halo Hues collection to show you. I've been wanting this collection for a couple months now, but the nail store I always go to took too long to get it so I ordered one from another polish blogger selling a few sets on Instagram. Thanks Yamii! This collection consists of 6 linear holos. My photos are shown at 3 coats, without topcoat, and with flash.

Here's the photo collage I made for my Instagram in case you want to see a side by side. 

Angel Kiss-light green linear holo.

Blue Heaven--light blue linear holo.

Cloud Nine--light pink linear holo.

Halo-Graphic--pink linear holo.

Cherubic--tan linear holo.

Harp On It--silver linear holo.

I'm completely in love with all of these and so glad I finally added these to my stash!

OPI DS Classic and Bundle Monster 318

Hi loves. I'm so sorry I haven't been posting much lately. This month has definitely been the toughest month of the nursing program so far and it's still not over. I promise lots of posts when finals are over mid December. Until then, here is a mani I had to find time to squeeze in. I used OPI DS Classic and stamped using BM 318 in Konad Black. My birthday is in a week on the 24th so at least I will make time for some birthday nails!

 

Here's a swatch of OPI DS Classic on its own. Such a beautiful tan holo! 

A England Saint George, Princess Sabra, and Dragon Tape Mani

Happy Saturday! I actually didn't even realize it was Saturday until just a little while ago. Oh how I love summer! Today I have a simple tape mani that I did using three A England polishes. I don't know why, but I really just don't want to stamp over any of them. I feel like I'm going to ruin their beauty if I do. Hopefully I will be able to bring myself to try stamping over them sometime. That probably made me sound psycho lol. For this look, I used A England Saint George, Princess Sabra, and Dragon. They're all so beautiful and sparkly!

New Years Nails

Last post of 2011! I wanted to do a mani perfect for New Years and all I could think of was these Technicolor nails by Liz at Liquidjelly. She put up a tutorial and I tried to follow it as best as I could, I think it came out pretty cool, but I should have used smaller pieces of tape on my first couple of nails. I used OPI DS Signature as my base color, added all the little strips of tape, and then did the gradient using China Glaze First Mate, Zoya Charla, Zoya Ivanka, and OPI Simply Smashing. I did these last night so I don't have any pics of it in the sun, but here they are! What does your New Years mani look like?

Happy New Years everyone! Be safe and see you all in 2012 =]

OPI DS Signature

I have for you all today a post of my first 'real' holo. I posted a Color Club holo before, but it kinda sucked. This is my first super awesome linear holo. It's one of the discontinued polishes from OPI's Designer Series and it's called Signature. I've been seeing so many holo posts lately that I kind of went nuts last week and bought a couple OPI DS holos, a China Glaze OMG, 5 Nfu-Oh's, Nfu-Oh Aqua Base, and 2 grams of Spectraflair pigment. Haha yea, obviously I have no self  control and yes I spent a lot. Anyways, I wore this ALONE for a FULL WEEK. How crazy is that?! I took a shit ton of pics and narrowed it down as much as I could. Click to enlarge on these. They look so much better when they're their full size. Enjoy =]

I thought this looked cool because it also shows that it's a scattered holo as well as linear.

Holo not as crazy in this pic, but it's color accurate.

Color Club Worth the Risque

Picked this one up in my haul earlier this week. I really wanted some holo polishes for my collection because I don't have any linear holos and I'm so jealous of looking at pictures of everyone elses haha. I got 3 from color club: Worth the Risque (this one), Wild at Heart, and Fashion Addict. This one had kind of a thick formula so it wasn't the easiest to apply, but it was still totally manageable though. I used 4 coats here to get an even application, but 3 would've been fine. It's not very holo, but I don't care because it's my first linear holo and some holo is better than none =]

Favorite pic of this one! Click to enlarge.

Kinda dark, but it shows the holo pretty well.
