OPI Mod About You and RA 119

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I did these nails today and honestly, so many things went wrong! I'm not very superstitious, but I kinda feel like it was bad luck =[ I smudged my nails countless times and I totally spilled a bottle of polish all over the floor--first time that's ever happened! I almost gave up on these, but decided to power through it and finish. I used O.P.I. Mod About You for the base color. I stamped using RA 119 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink and Konad Princess Apple Green. I added some yellow to the flowers with China Glaze Lemon Fizz. Lastly, I added orange dots using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed. Hope it turned out okay despite the mishaps!

Thanks for all the awards!

Matte Black Leopard Print

Hi lovelies! Today I have a pretty cool leopard design to show you. I don't know if anyone else uses Instagram (if anyone wants to follow me on there my username is heartnat24), but sometimes there are little nail contests and if I have time I like to enter them. I entered these nails for a copycat contest so hopefully I make it to the finalists. Anyways I used O.P.I. Black Onyx as a base and then used Essie's Matte About You topcoat. Lastly I used a small dotting tool dipped in topcoat to draw the leopard print. Pretty cool huh?

China Glaze Eye Candy Collection

Hi everyone! Today I have China Glaze Eye Candy swatches to show you. I know I'm a tad late, but it's my blog and I still feel like doing it =] These were released as Holiday 2011 polishes and there are 6 in the collection. They're inspired by Marilyn Monroe and described as 3-D glitters because there are different sizes and shapes of glitter in each polish to give a 3-D effect.

Love Marilyn. Indoors.

Blonde Bombshell. Indoors.

Material Girl. Indoors.

Lorelei's Tiara. Indoors.

Some Like It Haute. Indoors.

Marry A Millionaire. Indoors.

Here's an enlarged photo since it looks a little blurry in the above photo.

I used three coats for each. Some were actually fine in two, but I did a third for good measure. All photos are shown with one coat of topcoat. These are all beautiful. Personally I would wear all of them alone except Lorelei's Tiara and Marry A Millionaire. They're pretty, but not my favorite colors. Blonde Bombshell and Marry A Millionaire have bar glitter, which I thought was pretty cool. Some Like It Haute has holo glitter which I think looks gorgeous against it's dark base. Formula was good. I read that Material Girl is pretty thick and added polish thinner before use, so if it does have an issue, I wouldn't know. Hope you enjoyed these lovely glitters! Until next time.
