Blow Me One More Kiss

So without going into it took much, I just ended my relationship with my now ex-fiance. I was depressed but today a song come on that made me feel a bit better and gave me an idea for a mani. The song, if you didn't catch the title, was Pink "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" Here is what I came out with.

 I started out with 2 coats of Barielle "Night Moves" which I just picked up today at TJ Maxx for $2.00. The coverage is great and the formula was just as good. I don't have a whole lot of polishes from this brand so I was happy to find it, along with a beautiful blue called "Sky's The Limit" also for $2.00

 I decided to layer 2 coats of Sinful Colors "Charmed" which is another polish I bought today at Walgreens for $1.00 using the current coupon. I applied this polish to all of my nails except for my middle fingers hehe. I should have used a glue base, but I wasn't planning on using a glitter polish until I picked it up lol.

 So for my middle finger I stamped kissy lips using 2 KleanColor polishes "Metallic Pink" and....

 and KleanColor "Metallic Red" Both of these worked awesome for stamping!! I have a few other of the metallic ones and can't want to use them for stamping.

 I really like how this turned out and it was better then I pictured in my head. And the kisses on the middle finger is kinda like a farewell to a toxic relationship, even though it still hurts.




I love it! Well that's it for today. I hope to get my tutorial for my polish stands up soon. Ugg I fail so hard, but I took the pictures I just need to write up the post.

Thanks for reading! If you haven't seen the video or heard the song here it is for you, Enjoy!

Anti-Valentines Mani

So, I'm not really one for Valentines Day. I've never really had a good one, and I just try to forget about it. I know I'm horrible lol. And the sad part is, I'm even single and I still don't like it. Oh well. Here is my Anti-Valentines manicure.

 I started out with 3 coats of O.P.I. "My Vampire Is Buff" I really wanted to like this polish, but the formula wasn't that great and it took 3 coats to get it some what even. I was hoping it would be a lot better then it was. Oh well moving forward.

For the stamping I used Sinful Colors "Truth Or Dare" and Pure Ice "Black Rage"

 
  

 For the stamping images I used one of my new XXL Shany plates, That I just love!!!
I used XXL plate #2


 All of the images except the solid heart are in these rows.

All in all I like how it turned out and I love these new plates, so I think I'm going to be doing a lot more stamping.

I finally took pics for the tutorial on my nail polish racks and I hope to have it up before the weekend.

Well that's all for today. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a good v-day even if I don't lol

Disturbed Polish - Redneck X-Mas

Edit: I have been told by Annette, the owner of Disturbed Polish, that she now uses a new base, so any mention of the smell in my posts regarding these polishes is no longer and issue. I hope that everyone gives this brand a chance because I think they are awesome, and everyone should own at least a few.

First I want to say congratulations to Melissa for winning my "Just Because Giveaway" I've already emailed her and got a response.

Ok, now on the the polish!

I know that X-mas is long since past, but I still loved wearing this polish. It's so pretty! I know that it is no longer being sold, but I still wanted to share it :)

This is "Redneck X-Mas" It's like Christmas in a bottle! There is various sizes of hex and square glitter in here. and the colors are red, green, gold, white, and silver.

 I had a very hard time finding a good polish to layer this over, but I'm very happy with my choice.

This was my first time using a Layla polish from the Softouch line. I wasn't sure if I would like the finish since I normally don't like matte polishes. I love the finish! I think I'm going to have to pick up a few more of these. The bottles don't have names, they are just numbered this is #02 no name, which is a shame.

 I felt this was a good match because of the subtle gold shimmer. The formula was great and applied like a dream. 

 I started out with 1 coat of "Redneck X-Mas" like the other Disturbed Polish the formula was great and no fishing or dabbing was needed. The glitter laid smooth and evenly.

I felt that one coat wasn't enough....

So I added a second coats, and was very happy with the outcome. I realized during editing these pictures that my clean up wasn't that great so I'm really sorry about that and I hope you can look past it. Not sure what happened.


I really love these polishes and I can't wait to place my next order. I think the pictures speak for themselves. The only thing bad I can say about these polishes is the smell, but it doesn't affect their application or the beauty of them. I think the smell is common in indie brands. Not that big of a deal.

Not sure what else to say, so here are some more pictures!



Well that's it for today. I hope you check out the other swatches from Disturbed Polish that I've done. The polishes are $7 and are 3 free.

Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Disturbed Polish - Prude

Edit: I have been told by Annette, the owner of Disturbed Polish, that she now uses a new base, so any mention of the smell in my posts regarding these polishes is no longer and issue. I hope that everyone gives this brand a chance because I think they are awesome, and everyone should own at least a few.

Sorry for not posting in the last few days. I've been feeling a bit under the weather, mainly due to it being that time of the month lol. Today I have another Disturbed Polish to show you. This on is called "Prude"

Here's a quick bottle shot. How awesome is that! I don't even think I could name all the glitters in this bottle, but the main colors are pink, blue, silver, and black. It took me a little bit to figure out a good base for this glitter polish. This is what I came up with.

 I started out with a glue base then 2 coats of Sally Hansen "Eel Skin." This is a nice light grey that tilts towards blue.

Originally I was only going to add another polish to the ring finger, but I really liked how it looked so I added it to all my nails.

The polish I layered on top of "Eel Skin" was 2 coats of Orly "Bluebell" I really love how these two polishes look together. It gives the nails a nice depth and I think it works really good with the glitter.

Look at how pretty that is!


"Prude" applied great. The glitter went on smooth and evenly. I used 2 coats, and like "Garbage Disposal" I love this polish! I also like that it laid flat and wasn't a topcoat eater to make it smooth.

I think there is a great combination of colors and shapes. I feel a bit spoiled with these polishes because the application is so wonderful, I use to usually dabbing chunky glitter on the nail or fishing, but not with these.


 I highly recommend this brand. If you haven't checked them out yet you really should. Disturbing Behavior also sells some handmade jewelry that looks pretty awesome.

Well that's it for today. Thanks for reading and if you haven't done so already make sure to enter my giveaway. It ends in a few days.

Disturbed Polish - Garbage Disposal

Edit: I have been told by Annette, the owner of Disturbed Polish, that she now uses a new base, so any mention of the smell in my posts regarding these polishes is no longer and issue. I hope that everyone gives this brand a chance because I think they are awesome, and everyone should own at least a few.

Today I have a mani using one of the Disturbed Polish's that I showed you in my last post. The first one I am going to show you is "Garbage Disposal" I love the names of these polishes as much as I like the polish itself. Take a look for yourself! Disturbing Behavior The polishes are $6.75, but will be going to $7 February 1st due to glitter cost. If you have any questions the owner is really nice. They also sell a few other things besides polish. There is jewelry and some various cuticle care items and lip balms.

Since this has just about every color glitter in it I couldn't decide on a base coat so I just used a white and a black polish. This is one coat of 'Garbage Disposal' I didn't have to dab or fish for the glitters. Application was great and had a pretty much uniform coverage.


I'm trying to use my macro lens more so the some of the pictures may not be the best, but you can still see the beauty of this polish. If really does have more colors then a rainbow!

It makes me think of those funfetti cakes :)


Disturbed Polish 'Garbage Disposal' 2 coats. The second coat went on great and I didn't notice any dragging or pulling. Plus it dried fairly quickly.

This is such a fun polish and I really can't think of a color it would look bad layered over. I like that once it dried it was pretty smooth. I did add a Gelous topcoat and a quick dry topcoat. I can't stand it when my polish isn't flat and smooth.

This is just awesomeness in a bottle!

I need to get a better set up for taking my macro shots. This was one of the best ones I could get. At least you can really see all the colors :)



I wonder how many coats it would take to be opaque? I love this polish, and I can't wait to try it over everything!!

Two last macro shots for you :)
I'm so glad I took a chance and got these polishes. I think they are so awesome and I think everyone should try them, even if you just get one bottle... I know you'll love them.

I know in my last post I said I was going to includes pictures of the mini bottle I got and the other item, but I think I will save those for their own post. Remember Disturbed Polish  is 3 free. Please go check out the store! Disturbing Behavior

I just want to thank every one for reading and following my blog. I hope you have all entered my giveaway, it ends on January 31st so you still have some time. Keep an eye out for my next post with another Disturbed Polish!!! Have a great week.
