Essie Bobbing for Baubles & Finger Paints Fall of Surprises

Sun
Hi lovelies!  How is everyone today?  Do you ever do an accent nail then later wish you'd done the whole mani that way?  That's the case with today's nails.  This is two coats of Essie Bobbing for Baubles with an accent nail using Finger Paints Fall of Surprises.  Bobbing for Baubles is a super dark navy.  Honestly it looked black a good majority of the time.  It had a great formula and was almost full coverage in one coat.  Fall of Surprises is a copper glitter.  This is one coat of FoS.  I really,  really wish I would have done the glitter on all my nails.  I really enjoyed this combo.

Do you have any other suggestions on what I could put under Fall of Surprises?  I really want to wear it again very soon.  Thanks for stopping by.

Lacquerhead Polish My Boo & KKCenterHK Water Decals

Sun
Hello!  We are creeping closer to Halloween.  Tonight I have my first Halloween mani for you all to see.  I am a total sucker for all the milky white glitter polishes.  What makes this one even better is it's Halloween colors.  My Boo is a white jelly with different sizes of black, orange and purple glitter.  It's so freakin neat.  This is four coats (I know it sounds like a lot) of My Boo.  You could save yourself some coats by layering over a white but I like the squishiness of the jelly finish.  You lose some of that when it's layered.  The glitter payoff is phenomenal.  Never once did I worry that I wasn't getting enough glitter.

My accent nail is a water decal from kkcenterhk.com.  I've shown you others before and my thoughts on these are the same.  They rock!  So easy to use and the price is very good.  I used two coats of Milani White on the Spot, a two coater streak free white, then a layer of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu to soften up the starkness of the Milani.  After it was dry I applied the decal then my topcoat du jour Color Club 0-60.  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Zoya Gei Gei & Piaf

Sun

Good morning and happy Friday!  I'm so glad the weekend is almost here.  I'm finally feeling better but sadly Mr. MLiP and one of the boys is sick now.  Anyway, today I have the other two polishes from the Zoya Zang Toi collection.  Zoya Gei Gei is a pale pink full of shimmer.  Zoya describes them as being icy and I'd say that's about right.  I've been wanting a full coverage pale pink shimmer for a while but for some reason the polish companies always make the pale pinks so sheer.  Gei Gei took three coats but it was opaque.  My accent nail is Zoya Piaf, basically the yellow version of the pink and purple in this collection.  Piaf also took three coats.  It wasn't quite as opaque as Gei Gei but really close.  Then I used Zoya Trixie to stamp over the whole thing.  Jury's still out on wether or not that was a good idea.

 This mani was amazingly hard to photograph.  Seeing as how my photography skills are less than stellar this is what you get.  I hope you enjoyed this.  See you soon.

Sassy Lacquer Yeti Yeti Yeti

Hey guys!  Happy Wednesday.  Today I have the second Sassy Lacquer that I received for review.  Sassy Lacquer is handmade by Carrie of the blog Reflections, Sassy Nails, and Silly Diversions.  Yeti Yeti Yeti is a clear base packed with teal shimmer, white bars, medium and fine white hexes, fine silver glitter and micro fine teal glitter (I stole all that right from the description in the Sassy Lacquer shop).

I layered this over several colors on a nail wheel.  I tried Zoya Charla and Dove, China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic, Recycle and Pelican Gray, among others.  In the ene I went with CG Recycle with and accent nail using Jessica Frost at All Costs, a dark teal.  I used two coats of Yeti Yeti Yeti.  Now on to what you're here for, the photos.

This polish is totally drool worthy.  It makes the Jessica, which is super similar to Zoya Cynthia, sparkle.  Now if you're like me and not a huge bar glitter fan, I have good news.  Carrie does custom orders.  I received this mini to review.  I ordered a full size of Yeti Yeti Yeti a few weeks ago and asked for the bars to be left out.  Carrie said that was no problem at all and mixed up my polish.  I had it in my hot little hands super fast.  Awesome polish with awesome customer service.  It's a win/win situation.  Go check out the Sassy Lacquer shop right away.  Click here for the shop link and here for the facebook page.

I really hope you all like this as much as I do.  Are you looking forward to winter collections coming out?  I am!!
