KB Shimmer | STARK RAVEN MAD

 

I received some nail mail last week from KB Shimmer which I mentioned in a previous post. I also received STARK RAVEN MAD by KB Shimmer and it's a beauty!

Bonita Colors | RIDE THE WAVES

 

As promised more swatches from the brand Bonita. This is Ride the Waves.

Sinful Colors | ORANGE CREAM | SWATCHES

 

I've had this polish for a while now as most polishes in my collection. But I'm in the process of trying to organize this nail hoarding I got going on and in the process came across this beauty.

OPI | PUSH AND SHOVE

 

I have a quick review today of OPI's Push and Shove.

Glisten & Glow H K Girl Top Coat Review

 

For several weeks I've been meaning to do this post on my new favorite Top coat.

Nail Foils

 

As you can see I had to do a major chop on my nails. I had two breaks on my left hand and one on my right. I had patched all three up but somehow my patch had failed me on my right which is my hand I like to photograph.

China Glaze | Spring In My Step

 

Here are swatches of China Glaze Spring in My Step. It's the perfect pastel pink.

Designs for Short Natural Nails

 

 

Here is a picture of a design I did last week. I used My Vampire is Buff by OPI as a base and acrylic paint for the designs . Also I used some gold chains I picked up from Michaels craft store.

SinfulColors polish|Boogie Nights

 

Today I have another "Untried". I've had this polish in my stash for sometime. I swatched it of course when I first bought it but never wore it.

Spring Nails

 

Somehow this manicure got lost. I posted on Instagram but forgot to do a post on it.

Zoya Nail polish in Farah

 

I'm playing catch up with my posts. It's been a hectic few weeks for me. I try and schedule post but sometimes I can only get one post up. But I'm improving. I really enjoy posting my nails and watching my growth.

Pastel Peach/Orange spring nails

 

I've been really into my pastel polishes lately. Pastel colors just say SPRING to me. Also I love a great peach colored polish.

Nail care and growth.

 

So my nails grew out to a nice length that I loved. Well that was short lived as the other day I noticed they were feeling softer.

Lightning Bolt Nails

 

I can not stop looking at this manicure! The picture really doesn't do it much justice. After I received some more nail vinyls which were lightning bolts and I also received some straight vinyls. I decided that me and scotch tape and scissors were no longer friends.

Femme Fatale | Burning Blossom

Earlier in the week I did a post on some nail mail I received from Color4Nails. I decided to do an individual swatch of this color by Femme Fatale in the color Burning Blossom.

KBShimmer | Pigment of My Imagination

Happy Presidents Day! I hope you had a great extended weekend! With snow and the holiday here in Maryland/DC some people had a five day weekend. I only worked a half a day Wednesday , was off Thursday and worked Friday and Saturday . But the day off on Thursday was much needed.

Color club | Leopard and Stripes

I'm a huge animal print lover! I'm not big on the clothes(for myself), but I like all animal print. From snake skin, leopard and zebra print. I love the shoes, hand bags, wallets etc.

China Glaze | Midnight Mission & Bells Will Be Blinging

 

It's a snow day for me today and I decided to get caught up on some post. I refuse to eat up everything today so why not be productive!

I did this mani last night out of wanting to use some more "untried" polishes. I had swatched Bells Will Be Blinging the night before over black and couldn't wait to have it as a mani. I wasn't sure of what other polish I wanted to add to the mani but knew I wanted to bring out the blue glitter in Bells Will Be Blinging. I had also never used Midnight Mission by China Glaze as well and thought it would be perfect!

Now as much as I love green, I love blue nail polish just as much! There's something about blue against my complexion that I love. I think my undertones really compliment blue.

For the Bells Will Be Blinging design I had planned to use tape for this but the polish is so rich and thick that I was able to free hand my tape design. Also Midnight Mission was very opaque with one coat which I thought was great because to me some China Glaze polish need at least 2-3 coats for opaqueness.

I will definitely be using more untried polishes!

Have you tried either of these polishes? If so how'd you like them? If not definitely give them a go!
