Going Ga-Ga for Green

I know, I know...I have fallen off posting.  I had a very busy weekend and last couple of days trying to get my son ready for school. Anywho....another holo today from Milani.  Today it's a green holo called Hi-Tech.  The color is absolutely gorgeous, but does not look all that hot in the bottle, but on the nail....watch out now!  I couldn't really get a good picture of this no matter how hard I tried :-(.  I had a little trouble with the application, I kept getting bald spots, so I had to use 3 coats as opposed to the two coats I used with all the others. I also topped it off with my fav top coat...Seche Vite.  

Look at how it glows!!! I love the color, I just don't like it on me.  Needless to say, this only lasted about a day on me.  If you like green and holo, this is the perfect color for you!

Until next time....happy polishing!

Pretty in Pink!

Day two of my holo feature.....today I have Milani Digital. A pretty pink holo that looks like jewelry on yoiur nails. Again the application was good and this is 3 coats and one coat of Seche Vite. Excuse my pics, it was hard to get a good pic of this, my camera kept making it blurry, so I'm supposing because the sparkliness was making it go crazy

Until next time....happy polishing!

Totally Holo!

Like I mentioned before, I took my queue for my posts this week from Live Life Radiant and I am featuring holographic polishes for the remainder of the week.  Today I have for you Hi-Res from Milani 3D Holographic collection, a purple holo polish with tons of sparkle.  I think the polish looks nice on just about anyone.  Application was great, this is 3 coats with one coat of Seche Vite.  If you have a chance to grab these, I would.  They still have them at my neighborhood CVS. 

Look at all that sparkly goodness!!!!  Until next time happy polishing!

Ready for the Red Carpet!

Today I have Sally Hansen's Red Carpet. It's a pretty ruby red jelly with red glitter....now I'm not your bright red kind of girl, but I absolutely love this red. There are only a few red polishes I like and this will definitely be added to the list. I got it from Wegman's(local grocery store...amazing)for $1.99! Can't beat the price. Application was great, minimal clean up and I used 3 coats. I know, I know, the pics aren't that great, still learning. Maybe I should use my camera instead of my phone, oh well. Here she is:

I think for the next couple of posts, I will be taking my queue from Live Life Radiant and featuring holographic polishes.  Since I was late to the party, I wasn't lucky enough to score some of the great China Glaze holos, so I will be featuring Milani 3D Holographic polishes.  Until next time happy polishing!

I'm feeling blue

A while back, I bought two of Revlon's new scented fizz polishes, Grape Fizz and Colada Fizz. They were super pretty in the bottle, but little did I know how sheer they were. So I had to figure out a way to wear these polishes. My fantastic mother-in-law picked up a couple of polishes for me from Avon and one if them was Vintage Blue, a baby blue polish, which would go perfect with Colada Fizz, a light blue glass flecked polish. Vintage Blue was a little streaky, so I had to apply 3 coats, then I applied two coats of Colada Fizz on topm along with my go to quick dry top coat, Seche Vite.

Until next time....happy ploishing!

Dry Marble

Ok, so a few days ago, I was reading Enamel Girl's blog.  It's one of the blogs I follow regularly and came across an interesting way to do marbling. Normally all you see is water marbleing and it's quite messy.  I've been meaning to give it a try but just can't get past the messyness of it.  Apparently CND calls dry marbling the "butterfly effect", why, I don't know because it certainly doesn't look like one.  Anywho, I decided to give it a try since Enamel Girl gave great how to instructions. I used all Sally Hansen Insta-Dry colors in Lightening, Instant Iris, and Going Grape, then topped it off with Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat.  I think it came out awesome!!!. This will be my new go to nail art when I want something special

If you have some time, give this mani a try, I think you will love it, I sure did! Until next time happy polishing!

Fashion Addict

Today's NOTD is Color Club Fashion Addict, a holographic lavender. I've been reading other nail blogs and there are supposed to be some duds out there. Well I don't know if the one I have is a dud or not, but it is gorgeous!!!! There application was good, but it started chipping after 2that days :-(. This is one coat of Nail Magic, one coat of OPI Nail Envy, two coats of Fashion Addict and one coat of SV.

Don't ya just love a good holo? Until next time....happy polishing!!!
