Colors by Llarowe Zipper


Hello!  Tonight for your viewing pleasure I have Colors by Llarowe Zipper, a soft blue holo.  I honestly expected this to be sheer and need to be layered.  Imagine my surprise when it was totally opaque in two coats and the formula was so great.  Super smooth and easy to apply.  I'm not usually a holo lover but I feel myself being sucked over to the dark side by soft, pastel, light color holos.  I stamped on a flower design using Mash plate 42 and Color Club Eternal Beauty.  Stamping with holos is fun for sure.


Both pictures are in the sun because really what fun is a holo in the shade?  I will definitely be looking into more of these polishes.  I hope you all have a great night!

Finger Paints You Yacht To Know Better

Sun
Good evening!  Today's polish is Finger Paints You Yacht To Know Better with an accent of Our Tips Are Tealed.  You Yacht is a gorgeous blue with little teal sparkles that sadly I just couldn't get a good picture of.  Makes me sad because this polish is a stunner in person.  Finger Paints can be super hit or miss for me so I was pleasantly surprised on how great this applied.  Two coats made it perfect.  Our Tips are Tealed also applied great at two coats.  Both pictures have topcoat.

Shade
I really adored this mani.  The accent nail really picked up the little teal sparkles in the main color.  I wore this awhile back so that's why my nails are so short, even for me.  I will definitely be wearing both of these again.

Have a great night!

*I purchased these polishes myself.  I finally found a Sally's that puts things out early regularly.  Yay!

Barielle Nude and Naughty Collection plus a Giveaway

Press Sample

Hey everyone!  I promised you this post last week but I've been so sick and it just didn't get done.  My apologies for the delay.  So jumping right in I have the Barielle Nude and Naughty collection for you and a Barielle giveaway at the end.  Each polish has a sun picture and then a shade picture and is shown with topcoat.  First up is Pillow Talk, a pale peach that took three coats for opacity with no streaks.




Up next is Very Bare, a pale pink that also took three coats.  I actually kind of liked this one.  Not my normal but I really liked how it looked on me.




This is No Not Now.  Barielle says this is a sheer toffee color.  It has a lovely shimmer that I liked a lot.  This one took two coats to be opaque.




Next we have I Got a Headache, a shimmery caramel color.  I used two coats for this and now I'm thinking it should have been three.  The shimmer in this is really pretty even if the color looks a little strange on me.




Last we have In Good Taste, a chocolate brown, that was also in the other fall collection.  This is two coats.




So there you have it.  There are some great neutrals in this collection.  The quality was great.  Just what I've come to expect from Barielle.  You can purchase Barielle on their website here and follow them on facebook here.

I promised you guys a giveaway a while back, so today I have an assortment of Barielle polishes and treatments that were given to me by Barielle to give to one lucky reader.  Sorry guys but this is US only.  Up for grabs is 5 polishes (Fashionista, Teaser, Sunshine, In Good Taste and Pink Flip Flops), Nail Strengthener Cream, No Chip Speed Dry topcoat and Nail Rebuilding Protein base coat.  The giveaway will end on 10/14/13.  Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great rest of your day and I'll talk with you soon.

Polish Addict Nail Color Flip Flops & Wine

Sun
 Hey everyone!  How are you doing tonight?  I'm pretty sure I'm dying from a head cold and a fever but oh well, life goes on.  Today I have a cool polish for you from Polish Addict Nail Color called Flip Flops & Wine.  Fun name and even better polish.  This is an orangey coral jelly base with many shapes, sizes and colors of glitter.  Best part is it glows in the dark!!  I did layer two coats of this over China Glaze Mimosas Before Manis because I liked that it brightened it up just a bit.  I do think that three coats would make this opaque without any layering.

Shade
This was so fun to wear.  Nice bright color by day and glow in the dark by night.  I had lots of fun waving my fingers around in the dark bugging Mr. MLiP.  I bought this a mystery box from Polish Addict so I have a few more polishes to show you.  So far so good though.

Until next time...
