Cult Nails Manipulative

Sun

Hello and happy almost Tuesday!

Today I have the new Cult Nails Manipulative to show you.  I am completely in love with these types of colors lately.  Sea-foam blue/green makes my happy!  This is three coats of Manipulative.  The formula was fantastic.  There is a slight shimmer to this color that the camera just didn't want to pick up.  Take a look and let me know what you think.

Sinful Colors Zeus

Happy Friday! Today's post is scheduled in advance because I'm having my wisdom teeth out this morning. When I heard about the new Sinful Colors Cast Away collection I knew I had to have this. Such a pretty purple with pink shimmer. This is two coats and the formula is great. On my ring finger I added a nail tattoo from bigRuby. Click the link and check them out. They are water decals and couldn't have been easier to use. So cool!

I have one other color from this collection to show you still. I'm going to try to schedule a few more posts because I don't know how long I'm going to be out of it plus my kid is on spring break next week. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Shop My Stash Sunday

Good morning everyone!

So I've realized that I keep buying new polish and hardly ever go back and revisit polishes I've loved in the past. I think that in order to use some of my poor, neglected pretties, I'm going to do a Shop My Stash post every couple of weeks. The plan is to go through the colors I have worn and pick out one that I loved and have been wanting to wear again. Today I have Zoya Harley to show you. I needed a quick mani the other day and Harley was the perfect choice. Harley is a light gray color with a very pretty shimmer. The top photo is in full sun and the bottom one is in the shade. Check it out!

I'm hoping to do a Shop My Stash post every other weekend but no guarantees. I invite all of you to shop you stash as well. I'd love to see some of your favorites colors from the past. Feel free to leave me a link to your posts in the comments. Hope you are all having a great Sunday.

Cult Nails Mazo

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!

Today I have Cult Nails Mazo to show you. You know, I wasn't really interested in this polish until I saw some pictures of it layered over other colors. I'm going to show you what it looks like on its own with three coats. It's super sheer so I still had visible nail line. Not really my kind of color but the formula was fabulous and the gold shimmer is awesome. The first two pictures are in the sun and the third is in shade. The last picture is layering options.

I've tried to crop this photo down three times and it keeps loading the uncropped one. Ugh! Anyway, ignore the flakies. The green is China Glaze Starboard and one coat of Mazo. Next is CG First Mate and one coat of Mazo. Next up is CG Life Preserver and one coat of Mazo. Lastly is Zoya Cynthia and one coat of Mazo. I love these layering combos and can't wait to try them all as full a full mani.

Do you have any Cult Nails? I can't wait for their spring collection. Have a great day!

CND Copper Shimmer

Today I have a super quick layering post for you. This is two coats of the lovely Zoya Kelly with one coat of CND Copper Shimmer. I absolutely love this mani. I tried Copper Shimmer over a bunch of colors and my favorites were Zoya Kelly and Essie Pretty Edgy. I'm sure I'll be wearing the Essie combo soon. Check it out!

This last picture was taken in the shade. The other two are in full sun. I liked this shimmer so much I ordered a few others that should be here this week. Yay! Do you own any CND effects? Which is your favorite?

Have a great Monday!

Essie Armed and Ready

Hello!

Today I have the new Essie Armed and Ready. This is from the new Go Overboard collection. So far this is the only one I bought but I may go back for the purple, Playdate. I think if you took all the colors in camouflage and mixed them together this is the color you would get, plus some gold shimmer. I love this so much more on my nails than I thought I would. This is also one of the most opaque Essie polishes I've ever used. The photos show two easy coats and my favorite Cult Nails Wicked Fast topcoat. Take a look.

All photos were taken in the sun. The shade shots just looked really bad. Do you have this polish yet or any plans to pick it up? This could kick Essie Pretty Edgy out of first place on my Essie list :)

Have a great Friday!

China Glaze Midtown Magic

sun

I wasn't even going to get this polish but then I found it on clearance at Sally's. My 8 yr old talked me into it and I am so glad he did. It is gorgeous! Midtown Magic is a jellyish brown full of amazing shimmer. I don't think my pictures do it justice. Check it out!

I think this picture show off the color best. Sun

Nicole by OPI It's All About the Glam

sun

So I don't watch the Kardashians or really know much about them but I do know a great nail polish color when I see it. NOPI It's All About the Glam is a shimmery white. I love white nails, especially when they have some shimmer to them. This is four coats and I still have a little VNL that is much more apparent in the pictures than in real life. I think next time I will put a coat or two of plain white polish down first then this one. You can really see the shimmer in the shade pictures. In the sun it just kinda looks like plain white. In the shade you can also see how badly I suck at clean up of shimmery or glittery colors. Honestly I usually just clean off the glitter in the shower.

There is one other color from this collection I'm considering. The black/grey glitter one. Don't know the name. I don't know though. I have several like that already. Did you get any of the Kardashian colors?

Thanks for reading,
Sara

PS* Just wanted to say that I appreciate all the comments left on my blog. For some reason blogger won't let me comment in Firefox or IE. So the only time I can comment on my blog or someone else's is from my phone. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go blind trying to see things on my phone :)

Zoya Tao

I'm sure I've said it 100 times but I love gray nail polish and Zoya Tao is no exception. This is two coats of sheer perfection. I like that this has some shimmer to it but isn't very in your face about it. Does that make any sense at all? I may even wear this to my husbands corporate work party in a few weeks. It's like prom for adults. We get all dressed up and eat fancy food while listening to people give speeches. My dress is black so I think Tao would be a great choice. I'll probably go with something that has a little more color for my toes. If you guys have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

I think the shade pictures show the color at its most accurate and the sun pictures show the amazing shimmer. I just love this polish!

What's your favorite gray polish? Wait maybe you shouldn't tell me. I'll probably just run out and buy it :)
