Frankenstein.... Is that you????

So, I'm not sure why but this mani really makes me think of Frankenstein every time I look at it. I wore it for a few extra days since it's the first time a stranger has commented on my nails lol :)

My main color I chose is such a sheer color that I decided I needed some underwear :) I started out with one coat of Ulta "Set the Nude" I didn't take a pic of this step, but it almost matches my exact skin tone, so I had as some would say, Mannequin Hands lol

My main color is FingerPaints "Guggen, I'm Lime" I love greens and this one has been calling my name for awhile and I finally got it the other day. I did 2 coats of "Guggen, I'm Lime" over "Set the Nude" and for the black I used China Glaze "Liquid Leather"

Please note that this was my first time using a dotting tool:) with that said....
Here is what I ended up with:



It's not perfect in any way, but I love the result. I will be trying this one again :)

Well that's it for tonight. Thanks for reading and as always please leaven any questions or comments below :) I hope you had a great weekend!!

KleanColor Metallics

I just realised I have 30 followers and I've now posted over 50 posts :) *does happy dance*

So on to the pretties....

I recently picked up a bunch of KleanColor polishes... like 30 of them lol. I really wanted to do something with the Pink and Green Metallics. So this is what I end up with. I started with 2 coats of the "Metallic Pink"...

 It's really pretty pink. I'm not much for pinks, but I really like this one and I can see me wearing it again, but probably not on it's own lol.


I used striping tape and then did one coat of "Metallic Green" on top. I love how this turned out It really made me think of a beetle which is awesome. I think I wore this for 3 days, which is a day or two more then I usually wear my manis :)

I will say this, when I removed this polish the pink stained like a mother plucker lol. I'm fingers were pink until after I took a shower. Even my mom noticed they were stained pink lol.

All in all I was happy with the outcome. They both went on great without any issues.

Have you used the pink before and had the staining issue?

As always thank you for reading and please leave any questions or comments below :) Have a great weekend!!!

2 Quick Mani's

The first one for today is just one color nothing fancy, but I really love the color...

This is 2 coats of Spoiled "I'm So Jaded"...

I love this color so much. I think it is one of my new favorites :) It's a really bright green. It has a gold/yellow shift to it that is so beautiful. I got it because it reminded me of Gir from Invader Zim, If you don't know what Invader Zim is, you are missing out and you need to go watch it now.

This is Gir:
Annnnnd this is my Gir :)...

He's my baby. He was a rescue and I've had him for about 3 years now.... anyways, back to the nail stuff.

The second mani for today was inspired by a movie I watched last night called "The Perfect Teacher" It's about a girl who becomes obsessed with her high school teacher and tries to seduce him, but when he isn't having that she claims he forced himself on her... not a real original movie, but it inspired my polish :)
 The movie was kinda dark so I used 2 coats of Orly "Androgynie" and since he was a teacher I used Wet N Wild Coloricon "Rockin' Rubies" to signify and apple... people use to give their teacher's apples... lol I'm so weird :)

Well that's it for tonight.

As always thank you so much for reading and please leave any questions or comments below :) Thank you.

Spoiled @ CVS

I've seen a few posts on other blogs about a new line of polish coming out from Wet N Wild called  Spoiled I've been going to all of the CVS's in my area trying to find them... Finally found them about a week ago. They were on a little display hanging from the side of a shelf. For more info on this product line please check out Nouveau Cheap's Blog. Well these are the 5 colors I bought when I first found them:
 L to R: Shaken Snow Globe, Bite Me, Show Me The Money, Distant Memory, and Black Mamba

2 coats each:  Bite Me, Distant Memory, Black Mamba, and Show Me The Money
 All of the formulas went on great with no issues. "Distant Memory" Is a bit more sheer and it could have used a 3rd coat, I didn't notice the bald spot until looking at the pictures on my computer,
 "Shaken Snow Globe" looks a lot like China Glaze "Snow Globe" I'll try and do a comparison soon. I love how "Show Me The Money" and "Black Mamba" look together.
The colors are great and so is the formula. I plan on buying more from this line.

Do you have any of the Spoiled polishes?

For Bitten & Dazzling Dimonds

Well Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all had a good time. I didn't do anything, like usual, I don't go out for New Year's because everything is so expensive, everywhere is really packed, and at the end of the night your on the road with a bunch of drunks, so I prefer to just stay home :)

I was to apologize for not posting for a bit. I've been fighting a bit of depression and am now on a new medication so hopefully it will help. Anyways, your here to see some pretties, not to hear me ramble :)

Today I have a mani I did using Ulta Professional "For Bitten" and Milani  "Dazzling Diamonds" I love how it turned out :)

 I love how this color looks. This is 2 coats. It almost looks like black, but it's got a red in it that looks like it glows from within. It is so beautiful. I almost didn't get this polish, and now I'm glad that I did :) The formula was great I didn't have any issues that I can remember. Sorry for the lack of clean up, not sure why I didn't do that lol

 Since I'm Miss Can't-leave-anything-alone, I added some bling to it :) I did one coat of "Dazzling Diamonds"



I think it adds nicely to it without making it look like too much. I really like the end result and I can't wait to try layers different stuff over "For Bitten"

Do you own either of these polishes? Do you plan on getting them?
