Love/hate

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. It it went by way too fast! I worked on new labels, didn't like any of them, I worked on upcoming projects, burned my hands working on those projects. But, all in all, it was a fun filled weekend.

Today, I'm showing a color I made about a year ago. It's a pink and you all know I have a love/hate relationship with pink. I'm always drawn to it and I naturally gravitate to pinks when I see them in the stores, but once on I'm like, "Ugh!" I gave a pink I didn't care for to my cousin and when she wore it was I like ,"Ooo, that's pretty!" Yeah, pretty crazy I know. Anyway, this is two coats. I'm thinking I should have added a third coat, because my nails are getting long and you can see some VNL. The pics make it look more of a coral with purple and yellow shimmer.

Have a great Monday!

Athens' creation

Hi everyone, Saturday is finally here! I'm going to be running around all weekend. I hope you all have some great plans!

Today, I'm showing one of my niece Athens' creations. I received so many compliments on this mani. The gray with pink shimmer base color is an Essence I bought a few months ago. I cannot remember the name though, sorry. Yeah, I forgot the bottle upstairs. I then added one coat of the glitter and topped with SH TC. Very pretty! Athens has skills, I'm gonna have to put her on the payroll! :-)

Have a great weekend!

Polish Us Pink

Hi everyone, I hope y'all's weekend was great!

Just a quick post.

As you all know I've been going through my stash of frankens. I found a pink I made and decided to tweak it. I took 1/3 of it and used that as my base color. Then I added holo micro and hex glitter. I made it a little sheer in case I wanted to layer it over a different color. What I love about holo glitters is that you could use them in almost any base color. So many possibilities. Anyway, much to my surprise, this is a pink I could keep on for more than it takes to get pics. Haha! I used 2 coats and 2 coats of Revlon Fast Dry TC.

 

Have a great day :D

Polish Us Pink

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and your Monday is off to a great start :D

This a very quick post. I played with glitter all day yesterday and forgot to post this until late.

This Polish Us Pink, I have a pink I made a while back. I found this in my franken stash Saturday. I've got a ton of great colors in that stash! Anyway, I used two coats and topped with one coat of a glitter I made a while back too. This is so awesome! And, we all know I don't get along with pink polish. Haha! It looks so princess-ish. Every little girls dream color! It looks like cotton candy too! :D

Remember, let's spread the awareness. If you or someone you know needs information on breast cancer click on any one of the links below.

Polish Us Pink

Hi everyone :D I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I didn't do too much, I is was in and out most of the weekend.

This Polish Us Pink Monday, I have another glitter. This is clear based with magenta hex, fushia mixed with holo bits, small square white and white bar glitter. This is such a fun glitter. I love it! I used the soft shimmery pink for my base color that I used 2 weeks ago. A while back a made a cherry pink and decided to use that as accent finger. I used 2 coats of the soft pink and one coat of the cherry pink, 1 coat of my glitter, and topped with Poshe TC.

October is breast cancer awareness month, let's spread the word!

Every Woman Swatches

Hi everyone, I hope you all are having a Terrific Tuesday and had a great weekend. I've been so busy the last few days.

Saturday, was a day filled with parties. Sunday and Monday I was labeling bottles, setting up store, swatching, and buying supplies. Today, I have to finish labeling bottles, inventory bottles, print business cards, and figure out this shipping matrix, make 75 bottles of polish, swatch four more polishes. Not too much. LOL Anyway, you all don't want to hear all the boring details, on to the post.

I realized, I haven't properly swatched the Every Woman Collection. Yesterday was an awesome swatch day. The sun was shining, providing me with the perfect time to swatch these for you. Sara over at Lacquer Addictions will have swatches of this collection, Lifes Styles of the Rich and Famous, and For the Troops on Saturday.

All pics are 2 coats with SV BC and no top coat. Each pic is in direct sunlight and shade, with the exception of Chic. I didn't ad it because the shade pic was more accurate.

Vibrant is a classic red with holo glitter.

Diva is a black purple with purple and red shimmer.

Daring is a seaweed green with green shifting to blue shimmer.

Exhilarating is pink with pink and purple simmer.

Chic is a tan nude with gold shimmer.

Have a great day! :D
