Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Holo Polish

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday! I'm so sorry for missing last week's post. If everything went right, my "makeup" post should have been posted last night. This week's prompt is favorite holo polish; as much as I like holo polish I don't own too many. That made this week's choice of which polish to use rather easy. I chose Color Club Cloud Nine which I received from Anna last month for my birthday. I can say it's a favorite already because I've worn it twice already. I used two coats without base or top coat.

Be sure to check out the other Twinsies to see which polish they chose as their favorite holo polish.

OMD2 - Day 7: holographic

Hey everyone,  I hope your Monday was good. Mine was decent,  pretty much the same as always.

Today's prompt was holographic.  Lucky for me, I just received my birthday swap gift from Anna at Goingtotheshowing. She sent me Color Club Cloud Nine. It's so stunning in the bottle, I stared at it for awhile. I used two coats without a base coat.  Then I used Sinful Colors Whipped to make dots. I filled those dots in with Cloud Nine. I LOVE how this turned out. Thank you so much Anna.  

Color Club Starry Temptress Mini Collection

Color Club Starry Temptress Collection has been on my Wish List for a few months now. Amanda started off my collection with the Starry Temptress Top Coat for my birthday. I have now added 3 more polishes to that collection. Yes, I know...I'm on "no-buy" for August but I couldn't pass this up. Here's my reasoning behind picking this up right away. Burlington Coat Factory is not close to me so I'm not able to go there often. This was the last box and the set of 4 minis only cost $2.99. Plus it's not just for me, I passed the mini glitter top coat to my boyfriend's niece.

The set comes with Glitter Envy, You Got Soul-ar and Wink Wink Twinkle (plus the glitter top coat). Now I just need to hunt down those pretty pinks and that gorgeous blue and I'll be all set.
The first color I chose to wear was Wink Wink Twinkle. It applies nicely for a mini and only needed 2 coats. On my thumb and ring finger I have the Starry Temptress Top Coat. What makes me happy about this purple is that my camera captured it pretty accurately. That rarely happens with purples!

Green Spam!

Hey polish lovers! With St. Patrick's Day a week away, I figured it's time to pull out all of my green polishes to find the perfect shade to wear up until the 17th. I know Jenna will be happy with this post! :)

I think I'm good on greens for awhile. I would say my favorite green out of all of these would be Yara. I haven't used Olympia or Hi-Tech yet so be on the lookout for swatches of those sometime next week. I've seen other bloggers do polish spam posts like this and I really liked those. If you also like these kind of posts and want to see more, let me know.

Perplex and Naughty

Today I will be sharing a polish that lost it's "spark" for most because everyone pretty much has already covered it. That polish is Perplex/Naughty. When Perplex first came out I hunted every store in my area to locate it and was completely devastated when I could not find it. I thought it would never grace my fingertips. I gave up on it but then lo and behold, Revlon re-released it under a new name, Naughty. Imagine my excitement when I saw it on display in Walgreens.

So I was finally the proud owner of Naughty. Then I saw Perplex in Big Lots, I was crunchy. I left it there because why would I possibly need to have both Naughty and Perplex. Yet it kept eating at me...and I finally broke down and went to get Perplex "for the blog"to see if they really are one in the same...

AND they are. On my pinky and 1/2 ring finger is Naughty, the other 1/2 of ring finger and my middle finger is Perplex. Then on my pointer I decided to compare Color Club Rad Nomad (It's close but doesn't have the shimmer like Perplex) So unless you are  crazy like me, you do not have to get both Perplex and Naughty.

Below is Naughty with a Finger Paints Flakie over, I believe this was Asylum.

 

Holiday Nails - Set 1

 
I've been anxiously awaiting this time of year to being my holiday manis! Of course, in my head my nail designs always look so much better. Whatever! That's not going to stop me from painting my nails. Here's the first few I did.
This was Color Club Noveau Vintage with 1 layer of China Glaze Twinkle Lights.

My snowflake mani was my first "nail art" of the season. I liked how it turned out but I hope next time it turns out better. Although it is hard to tell, I used 3 frankens for this. A light baby blue, a light gray and a dark gray. For the snowflakes, I used Wet n Wild French White Creme as well as a thin layer of CG Snowglobe and then used Color Club Clear topcoat.

This is my favorite so far. I did a french tip with CG Ring in the Red over Sinful Colors Basecoat and on my accent nail I used Party Hearty. Used Color Club Clear topcoat.
