My polish's, supply's and accessories. Oh and some swatches!



Okay, here I am just going to get right to the point. No new designs Im afraid except for 1. Since I split my 2 days off, I will only be showing 1 mani and some pics of my polish's, supply's ect. This way you can see what I have to work with. Which unfortuneately is a lot, but my creativity is very limited with thte no nail polish at work thingy. Which I can only dream at the moment will change in the next few months, but we will see. So for know enjoy the pics and I will see you next time. Thanks.

In this box, I have 66 China Glaze nail polishes. WOW, Thats all I can say... WOW!!!
You might also be able to see my Nfu-Oh's, Orly Cosmic FX Collection, Milani, and my Deborah Lippmann. <3 that one!

Here are just some of the extra polishe I got. Before I realized how much I love China Glaze. And yeah those are a crap load of 2 Way art polishes. I got them off ebay, everyone was only getting like the 15 or 24. Not me I got the 42 pack, hehe. Theres some Pure Ice, Sinful Colors, Zoya, Orly, Sally Hansen, Wet n' Wilds, OPI, Icing, and Del Sol. Oh and Bubble White, I saw Sayanythingbr00kes video on that stuff, I bought it for a $1.99 and fell in love. So now the $5 jar is completely worth it.

Okay well the pic thingy isnt working at the moment, so I will have to leave this post as is till it starts working again. Sorry for the mishap. Until next time.

Updates, just talkin and playin around

Okay, so your probably wondering where the heck are all my updated pics. Well.... I will be putting those up next week. I actually have 2 days off next week and I am going to spend them playing with all the new polishes I got. I havent had 2 days off in a row in almost 2 months. So a full weekend is way overdue for me. But I recently bought 3 more china glaze polishes from sally's. Im so sad though, there's only 1 more color I really want from the Tronica collection and I havent been able to find it since sallys had them out. I want the Techno Teal color. So pretty!!! I really dont care that this collection isnt as holographic as OMG and Kaleidescope because in the sun which is where I plan to be mostly this summer, it looks AMAZING!!! Seriously, when I bought hologram I tried it out in the store, ande was disappointed but I bought it anyway just to have it. But when I left the store and saw my nail in the natural sunlight, I fell in LOVE. I will definately be posting pics of it next week. To me these colors are a mix between OMG and Kaleidescope, it just depends on the lighting. Thats my opinion and Im sticken to it, hehe. But believe me I was just as disappointed when I saw the collection too. So dont be all, What? that collection sucks! Nope don't wanna hear it, haha. Well to conitnue with the updates, Ive also been playing around with some new designs, and I will now post some pics of what I came up with. Ive gotten inspiration from other bloggers and things like that, so if you think these look like other peoples designs then Im sorry, but Im tired, it's late, and I just got off work and don't feel like looking peoples links or names up at the moment, but if you know who then you can thank them for me, but to everyone and their inspirations THANK YOU!!! You all give me great ideas to play around with. So here's some new pics:


My new Deborah Lippmann: Across the Universe, so BEAUTIFUL!!!




Here we have Zoya Pippa w/ Nfu-Oh #40 and Matte Magic
I wish the flakies would show up better, it is so pretty in real life. Think Im going to do this on my toes, make them nice and bright.



Here we have just Sally Hansen's Black Out with Deborah Lippmann: Across the Universe on top, also w/ Matte Magic. Love this combo.


And again Sally Hansen Black Out, but with Nfu-Oh #40 and matte magic. It just makes the glitters and flakies stand out more. So awesome!

5. Golden Enchantment

6. Wagon Trail

Nfu-Oh and some random's

Okay, I have seen some youtube guru's with these polishes and I had to have them. I asked several people and they said they bought them online at other retail stores, but I saw some youtubers say they found them from fabulousstreet.com. And there they were all the cutest polishes I could ever want. I feel every girl should have their entire collection. I mean look at these bottles. Totally ADORABLE!!! Wish I knew about these earlier I would have given them to my friends as gifts for my wedding party. I only had 1 bridesmaid but still I definately would have gotten her some of these. But anywho to get on with the night. Heres some the first colors that I got. Nfu-Oh # 40 and # 63. Love the flakies and the holo's. Hope some day I will post a picture of the entire Nfu-Oh collection in my posession. Man that's a
lot of nail polish ;)

 # 40

 # 63


 I absolutely love the backs of these as well. The dress design for nail polish is so adorable.



Okay now here come the random's:

Okay I follow a blog called Chloes Nail's http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/. She is completely awesome and has the most amazing nail collection. So this was a design inspired by her, and I can't wait to see what she come's up with next and what inspiration she can give me and other's.

Sally Hansen Black Out and China Glaze Dorothy Who? and Pom Pom.

And yet again more water marble

 China Glaze Sexagon, Sinful Color's Let's Talk and Sally Hansen Black Out. The base is Sexagon.

 These are the same colors only the base is Sinful Colors Dream On.


 These colors remind me of Cinderella's dress. The colors are all from China Glaze, they are Hologram, 2Nite, and Frosty.
Okay that's all I have time for today. I will be doing new mani's this weekend and posting some awesome pics. I recently recieved Deborah Lippmanns Across the Universe. So expect some pretty cool mani's with that one.

Crackles

Okay, I was super excited when I found out China Glaze was coming out with a bunch of new crackle nail polishes. So ofcourse when they finally came out, you would think I pre-ordered them online or something. NOPE, I just went to my local nail supply store, and there they all were, sittin in a pretty little row just for me. Well naturally I bought all of them, and I think I need to go back so I can get some more of the black and grey crackle. So far those two colors work the best for me. But anyway's here are some swatches of the crackle and a few mani's I did with them. Enjoy!


Crackle colors L-R: Lightning Bolt - White, Cracked Concrete - Grey, Broken Hearted - Pink

 Crushed Candy - Blue

 Black Mesh - Black, Fault Line - Purple


 This is Cheers to you with a coat of Broken Hearted. Love this mani, is so pretty in real life.

 Pink Voltage with Savvy Tinsel for a hint of sparkle, with Black Mesh on top.

 I wish the crackle was a little better on this mani, but I still really like it, actually the more I look at it  I love it. The colors are very pretty together and in the sun, WOW. Just didnt expect to like this one that much. This is Atlantis with Fault Line on top.

More Water Marble

Here are some of my favorite designs of water marbling that I have done. Enjoy!!!




This is China Glaze Sexagon and Zoya Charla. Couldnt believe how well these worked together.




Here we have just a plain white base, but used China Glaze Flying Dragon and Blue Sparrow. Both of these colors dry as a matte finish, and since they do that they dry much faster. So when I started to make a design in the water the colors started to separate a  lot faster. But I noticed that it made a paint splatter effect. So I just went with it. And as you can see it turned out great. So even if they dont spread the way you want, you can look at it another way and still get a great design out of it.



I was getting excited for Spring and realized I havent used any yellows yet for my mani's. This is China Glaze GR8 and Zoya Pippa.



This really was just me messing around late one night, and I wanted to make some marbles with Cheers to You and some bright colors. And as you can see it turned out awesome. Reminds me of Easter decorating eggs for some reason. :)

Water Marbeling

Here are some of my water marble mani's. I love to water marble. It is easy, fun and you can do so many different designs. Everyone should try water marbling, some say they have a hard time, but like they say practice makes perfect.


China Glaze Little Drummer Boy and Cheers to You.

 
China Glaze OMG and Frostbite.

This was Pure Ice Black Rage, Cheers to You, and Pink Voltage, the base was black as well so the base turned a very pretty purple from the marbling.

Heres the same colors as before only the base is the Pink Voltage.

China Glaze OMG and Little Drummer Boy.

This is Zoya's Charla and Black Rage over a white base.

And last but not least China Glaze OMG and First Class Ticket.
