red-tipped french

Just a simple french manicure I did using China Glaze Innocence and Ruby Pumps. I really liked it! The sparkliness didn’t really translate in my picture, but I enjoyed having just the tips blingy. Ruby Pumps is always my go to glitter whenever I do anything like this because it adds so much sparkle without [...]

L.A. Colors Color Craze polishes

Yes!!!!! These were taking up SO MUCH ROOM in my untried section, and now I can move them OUT into my Melmers! I’m so proud of myself. I have ALMOST whittled it down to making all my untrieds fit on the display shelf my dad made me, EVEN with the addition of the Vintage Vixens [...]

Fourth Of July Nails

This is embarrassingly late, as all of my holiday manicures seem to be. I always have tons of ideas in the weeks before the event, and then…I let them laguish on my memory cardfor a week before posting them, it is ridiculous!

The blue is OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui, the red is Color Club Art [...]

Zoya - Isla

Looooovely! I love how Isla is a super bright red in the middle where the light hits it, but looks blackened on the edges.

Finger Paints - What An Exhibition!

OMG What An Exhibition! is so awesome. It’s one of those reds that looks darker on the edges, and it’s soooo shimmery! I love it! 3 coats.

I feel like I’m repeating myself about these Finger Paints polishes, but I kinda love them all.

Maybelline - Bitten Plum

This was pretty, but, you know, when you’ve seen one vampy red that isn’t Ravishing, Dahling, you’ve seen them all. And Ravishing, Dahling applies better, also. This is a little darker, and the coverage isn’t as good. I’d call this a creme, not a jelly. Man, I have GOT to stop comparing every color like [...]

Pure Ice - Super Star

I don’t have much to say about this one, really. It’s bumpy and it appears to have holo glitter in it. Fairly pretty, but I’m sick of red glitters. Ruby Pumps has spoiled me!! This was difficult to get even, also. 3 coats.

Japanese-inspired Konad

This was kind of a fail. I wasn’t able to get the stamps straight, and I was running out of steam by the end so I didn’t fix it.

Base is China GLaze Moonlight, and for the stamping I used Wet N Wild Black, Borghese Rubino Red, and Borghese Sonata Berry. There didn’t end [...]

Diamond Cosmetics - Hue Are You

Goodness, it is embarrassing to look at my old swatch pictures. I swatched this same polish months ago, and…oh my goodness, those pictures are absolutely AWFUL.

Anyway. I still don’t like it. It is an ugly color, the red base mixes with the gold shimmer and turns it onto an orangey rust. Blehhhhh. The shimmer is [...]

Essie - Catwalk

This is a darker red rather than a bright red. It’s got tons of silver shimmer in the bottle but it’s almost invisible on the nail. This was my other flea market find from a few weeks ago. Bleh.

I’ll be out of town, sort  of, till tomorrow, but then I’ll be [...]
