L'Oreal "Owls Night"

This is a short post since I am pretty tired but i wanted to get something up :)

I love this color. It is very pretty and pictures don't do it justice. I've heard that a lot of people have been having trouble finding it, but I had no problem at all. The first time I saw it at Walgreen's I passed it up because it didn't seem like anything special. Then I saw a swatch of it on another blog and knew I needed to get it :)

 This polish has a dark brownish olive base and gold shimmer in it. Very pretty!!

This polish is so much prettier in person. Plus I think I am getting better at cleaning up.... still need some practice. :)

Has anyone else had trouble finding this polish?

Thanks for reading! Please leave any questions or comments below. Thanks!

Mom's pick

Once again I had no idea what colors to use on my nails so I asked my mom :) She suggested I do something holloween-ish, so she chose brown and orange. As I was looking for polishes I realised I have barely any browns or oranges. So I had to use what I had, but I also made a mental note to keep an eye out for more oranges and browns.

Sinful Colors "Nirvana", WNW "Sunny Side Up", and Sinful Colors "Cloud 9"

I ended up using 2 coats of Sinful Colors "Nirvana" for the base,

 2 coats of WNW "Sunny Side Up" for the tips and then I topped it all off with 1 coat of Sinful Colors "Cloud 9".

  "Cloud 9" is a very sheer color, but it is sooooo pretty. I tried to capture the sparkle this color has. I used a thin coat to give my nails a little bit of a sparkle to them. The brown just didn't look right until I put this color on. Very glad I did.

My original idea was to try and do some sponging......... it turned out horrible... twice!!! lol so those pictures have been destroyed to leave to evidence of the epic fail they were lol. After that I decided to just go a bit simpler so I went to my old faithful mani :) I didn't realise how sheer "Cloud 9" was until I did this mani. I like the overall look that was my end result.

Like most of my mani's I wore this for 2 days. My next post shows a dupe I found for a polish I've really been wanting... but you will have to wait.. Thanks for reading and don't forget to follow my blog! Please leave any questions or comments you have below.

A Night of Fails.... and a Franken

So the other night I was trying to do a mani..... I had an image in my head and it just didn't turn out the way I had hoped. I started off with two coats of Sinful Colors "Mercury Rising"

As always please ignore my mess lol. I normally clean up after everything is dry and I take my pictures right away so I don't forget to take them... I'm weird I guess but anyways :) back to the nail stuff. "Mercury Rising" is a very pretty deep brownish red with a shimmer to it. I really like the color which is funny because I bought it on accident. I was buying polish for a swap and I grabbed the wrong color but decided to keep it anyways :) I'm sure I will be using it again in the near future.

I wanted to do a tape mani, but the universe was againist it I guess because it turned out horrible lol

 This is 2 coats of "Energy Source" by L.A. Colors. I guess the tape wasn't all the way on the nail :( and it got underneath. I figured it was already a fail the I would try using one of my Nail Art Deco's "Silver Glitter" (Real original name btw lol)

Well since that didn't work out at all I decided to try making a franken :) I really like it, I just don't know what to call it. If you have any suggestions please lease them in a comment! I started with a bottle os clear polish by NYC, I then added some pigment that was brown with a green undertone :) I really like how it turned out.

This is 2 coats

So I still need a name for it. Let me know what you think and any name suggestions you may have: Thanks for reading.

It's so pretty :),
