New Series Konad Discs.. Starting with M1

So for 5 months out of the year I work selling Konad products. It's a lot of fun. I have people daily ask me the same thing.. What does this design look like on a nail.. so I figured I should do a series.. which will be forever long .. showing off each Konad disc. So I thought I would start with the beginning disc. I stamped on my plain nail, no polish in Black Konad Stamping polish. I plan to do a series called stamping with non konad polishes very soon.. So be on the look out for that.

These pictures are taken with my camera phone, because I do it at work during slow times. On most days I don't really get slow days.. so it's a struggle. I am going to try to do as many discs as possible at work, since I only own about a 1/3 of the discs.

So this disc is really cute it has a spider, a duck, a ram, 2 butterflies, a little girl and a baby chick.

I love this disc. It's a cute disc for simple animal designs when you need a quick baby duck or spider fix..

Tune in next time for Discs 2 and 3.. :)

BUXOM Bare Minerals Hold the Line Waterproof Eyeliner in 8 new colors

So I was so extremely surprised to receive a blogger back from Bare Minerals the other day. I opened it and squealed. I am just beginning to work with companies and this was extremely exciting for me.

I received these products for free, but that does not influence my opinions. My opinions are my own.

Now that I have given you the skinny on these babies. I want to tell you my thoughts. Now I am always looking for good eyeliner. I am a eye rubber because of the issues I have with my eye. So for me a good eyeliner is pertinent. Now I swatched them on my arm and 15 minutes later I was doing something and forgot it was there, normally that would mean that I would have smudged it and it would have been all over my fingers. It didn't move at all, my finger was clean and the color stay put. I was actually really excited, I showed my BF who just looked at me like I was crazy. I was super happy. I mean that's like something that doesn't happen often. So though I got these babies for free, I can promise you when I run out, I will be buying more. Call Me, is going to be a staple in my makeup bag from now on. It's just straight up sick. LOVE these eyeliners. Best surprise mail in a while.

2nd Attempt at Crayon Lipstick - Black w/ Copper Shimmer

So I did my second attempt at Crayon Lipstick in a Black with copper shimmer. I used cocoa butter, coconut oil, cinnamon oil, olive oil, the crayon and a little bit of moisture chapstick.

This time I realized I need to mix the cinnamon oil with something because it no longer smells like crayon but it smells like a burning cinnamon candle. I don't really like the smell, but it's all trial and error until I find the best formula.

Nicole by OPI Dotticure

So today I got the chance to play with some of the Nicole by OPI colors. I thought it would be fun to do a little dot mani with the colors. They had soo many cute colors to play with but I thought I should go with blue and pink because they really stood out.

I kept my accent nail, in Nicole by OPI's Gumdrop color in A-nise Treat.

I used Candid Cameron from the Morden Family collection for the base. I used Spring Break for dotting. I liked the way it turned out very cute. I really like all the dot manicures.

The colors went on really easily and dried pretty quickly.

Nicole by OPI GumDrops

So this weekend I got to play with the new Nicole By OPI GumDrops. I am totally digging on the textured polishes and was super excited to try it out. I really love OPI's LiquidSand so I figured, from the same brand I would adore these. They aren't as textured as I thought they would be. I used My Cherry Amour (Red) and A-nise Treat (Black) as accent nails. They are textured matte glitter.

They didn't dry super fast so I messed them up three times before I got them to dry without me screwing them up. I love the colors, but felt there wasn't enough texture to them.

I know kinda funny when I felt the Sally Hansen had too much texture, and OPI Liquidsand is my favorite at the moment. I haven't had the chance to try them all but I promise to keep you updated.

I did not purchase these or receive them, I was just given the chance to play with them.

There are 6 colors in the set, I only had the chance to play with 2 of them. So if you get the chance, they are beautifil polishes and worth the money if you like the micro glitter look.

Northern Lights Gold Holographic Top Coat Review

I love the whole new holographic phase that the nail world is going through. I Had never used a holo top coat before and I had this one gifted to me. So I thought I would give it a whirl on some darker colors. I really like it. I can't wait to use it more often. It gives a nice uniform coat. I love the way it sparkles. The colors really sparkle in the sun. It is a great top coat for any day that you want your nails to really shine.

So here is the top coat over Jungle Trail. See how it just really pops.

Now here it is over Black On Black. I really like the way it shows up on the black.

Now the polish does have a strong smell to it, but if that doesn't bother you then this is the perfect holo top coat for you.

Sinful Colors Black on Black and Jungle Trail review and swatches

I really dig Sinful Colors. I think I have said this before I have talked about them a few times before. I bought these ones because I needed a good black and gray. Thankfully I swatched these right before I broke my pinky nail. My poor nails break so easy.

I really thought the polishes went on crazy smooth. I really liked how easy they go on. Barely any streaking and that is so important in a polish. The next thing that I really love about the polish is the way that it dries on the nail.

Here is Black on Black.. so beautiful and shiny. It dries almost gel like. I am so glad I picked up this polish.

Here is Jungle Trail a gorgeous gray. I love it and can't wait to use it in some nail art. Both polishes just dried so pretty. I really adore Sinful colors.

Once Upon A Polish Red Riding Hood Indie Polish

I got this polish through a blog swap, and was in love with the color. I am sad to know that Once Upon a Polish has closed up shop, it's closed right now but it may open up again. I don't know that for sure, but I want to swatch this polish for you since it is so beautiful.

It is a Red, White and Black glitter polish. The red glitter is small circles, squares and I think some irregular pieces. There are white squares and chunks. There are also black and silver chunks in a clear base. It goes on really well. I like the coverage. The colors are all great together and look wonderful on. I can't wait to use it over another polish.

I hope that the maker of this polish comes back I love the name of her polish and it has a great consistency and looks great. Maybe I will come across more of these polishes to in swaps.
