Sparkle and Soar

Hi everyone! I hope y'all's weekend has been great.

I have just a quick post today.  I have Sparkle and Soar from Color Clubs Take Wing Summer 2012 Collection.  I did buy the collection and can't wait to try those. This is one awesome orange and yellow shimmer.  The formula was great and applied like butter. I did not want to take this off.  This is one awesome summer color! Have a great Sunday everyone :D

Vermillion $ Painting

Hi my peeps! I hope y'all's week is going great so far!

Just a quick post. I have Finger Paints Vermillion $ Painting. Now, we all know I'd bathe in red nail polish, but I sure would shower with orange nail polish! I love this orange!  Normally I find Finger Paints very thin to the point of runny, but this formula was great! Such a great orange with gold shimmer. For this I used 2 coats and topped with SV TC. Have a great day everyone :D

Passion Fruit

Hi ladies, It's Pink Wednesday :D Before I get stated, this is going to be a lengthy post. If you want to skip straight to the pics, now is the time.

Today, I have Orly Passion Fruit. Ok, in the store the bottle looked like a hot pink (to me anyway) I was like, "Okay, I can do this hot pink." Then, I get home and I'm like, "This is an orange-pink neon creme." So, I'm like, "Whatever, just do it!" The formula is super thin, which surprised me and is somewhat sheer. I used 3 coats (probably could've used one more) and topped with Out The Door TC. I'm so torn about this color. I like it and I don't like it. I like it because it has orange in it and next to red, oranges/corals are my fav nail color. I don't like it because it's pink and the tip may look a different color if your nails are long. I think I have a complex about pink nail polish, because I actually love the color pink. I will say this, you can see me coming a mile away! HAHA About the pics. They were all taken in a 10 minute time frame. The sun was out and with the same setting, but they each look like a different color. It blew my mind, I was like,"Whoa."

Last week, I was on FaceBook, (because we all know I'm addicted to social media.) LOL Anyway, my FB friend Eric Bonner shared something last Pink Wednesday, I'm going to share with you all today. Eric is such a sweetheart. I often refer to him as Enrique, because when I least expect it he'll post the funniest things, so unlike the quiet, smooth, easy going Eric I know. One of the many great things about Eric, he takes care of his hands and get manicures regularly (buffed only) and if he doesn't I sure do remind him! LOL Sorry Eric, I couldn't resist ;)  I enjoy reading his posts he's a great guy. Oh, ladies he's single too!

I wear pink!

Thanks Eric for sharing and spreading the awareness. You are true Warrior in Pink. Have a great day everyone.

Paz

Hi ladies, I hope y'all's week has been great so far. It's getting closer to the weekend! Whoop Whoop! 

Just a quick post. Today, I have Zoya Paz. This is a neon orange and when I say neon I mean neon! This is from their La-Di-Da collection. Zoya's description of this color: "Ultra-bright glowing neon traffic-cone orange creme. This outrageous shade is sure to stop traffic."  Well, that's an under statement if their ever was one! I was very surprised maybe even a bit startled. I felt I should be wearing a radio active suit or something O.o  I wasn't going to post this, but felt it deserved a post just for fun. The formula was great though, easy to apply, a one coater and dried to a matte finish. I didn't add TC. Have a great day ladies :D

Orna-ment For Each Other

Hi my lovely ladies! It's been a super fantastic Saturday! This was supposed to be a quick post, but in the middle of editing pics, I received half of my Zoya order! My honey was so excited he said, "LOOK WHAT'S HERE!" He opened the boxes for me because, I was taking no chances with my freshly painted nails :D He's awesome! I'm in Zoya nail polish heaven! I tweeted step by step pics. HEHE  Ok, back to the mani. I'll post those pics tomorrow.

I'm sporting Nicole by OPI's Orna-ment For Each Other. This is a burnt orange, more like the flames of a fire. Lot's of red and yellow glitter. It's an awesome color! I'm gonna have fun taking this off tomorrow O-O It's very sheer and would be great layered. It was opaque in 3 coats, but I did 4. At first I wasn't to happy about the 3 coats, but then as the color came out, I was like Yay! The 4th coat was just to give it extra umph :D I used 2 coats of 60 Second Rush Top Coat. I used this one because it's thin whereas SV is kinda thick. I already had 4 coats I didn't want it to look gunky (is that a word) O.O Anyway, have a great day ladies :D Oh, thanks ladies for all your lovely emails, blog follows, and twitter follows. It means so much to me :D

Jasmin Nicole

Hi ladies, It's Friday! WHOOP WHOOP! This is gonna be a short post, because it is pic heavy. Last week, I told y'all I about my nieces and how I'm creating something for each of them :D Today I chose to do an orange for my niece Jasmin. This is gonna look so pretty with her skin tone. This orange is gonna knock your socks off! I used Wet n Wild The Wonder Yellows, China Glaze Ruby Pumps, and mixed in some glitter. The yellow gives this orange a gold undertone, absolutely beautiful! I used 2 coats and topped with 2 coats of SV. Again, I wish I could create something as beautiful as her. But nope, not gonna happen (you'll hear that a lot) hehe :D No sun right now so all pics are inside first 3 no flash and last 2 with flash. Have an awesome Friday :D

This is the closest to the actual color :D

Here is my beautiful inspiration for today's creation!
