Moxie

Hi everyone, It's Tuesday. I hope y'all's week started off great! Kristen from Glitter Gloss and Glaze awarded me the Kreativ Blogger Award back in January and one of the questions was about guilty pleasures. I've been thinking about that since then O.o Well, I still believe that if a person takes joy in something then one shouldn't feel guilty about it. But, I do have a guilty pleasure after all. It's kinda bad, but I'm gonna share it anyway. I like cursing, there I said it! One of my aunts told me the other day that when I was little girl I used to tell her, "I can't wait to grow up so I can talk just like you!" I asked her, "And do I?" Well, she said I surpassed her! O.O Ok, that said. I don't curse all the time, I do have home training! LOL Please don't think I use this type of language all the time. I don't. Oh, if y'all haven't visited Kristen's blog, go! It's great :D Ok, enough of that on to my mani.

Today, I have Zoya Moxie. This is a berry creme. Very lovely color. Idk if this could be called work apporpriate. You decide :D I'm kinda if-y about this color, it just didn't do anything for me. Formula wise it's great though. I used 2 coats and topped with SV TC. Have a great day y'all :D




This pic doesn't do anything to compliment the color, I just thought it was pretty. LOL

Sula

Hi ladies, It's Thankful Thursday and only 2 days til the weekend! WOOT WOOT!

I went to Ulta a few months ago and found this purple/mauve Sula nail polish. It says, you don't need polish remover to remove this polish. I was like is that even healthy? I mean to pull the polish off, aren't you taking off cells or something from your fingernails? But, in my mind I'm like, "Hmm...I wanna check this out." Ok, I don't like to say negative things about nail polishes, but I'm going to be honest here. It's a lip gloss tube-like and has top coat on one side and the NP on the other side. You could see the brush stroke, it wasn't anything small  (I can tolerate that.) No, this was large brush strokes. You know what, I'm just gonna let you all see for yourself. I didn't want to remove it because, well, I love nail polish. So, I decided to use FingerPaints Flashy over it. You can't see the brush strokes very much. Oh, I was able to pull the polish off my nail without remover, but not all of it came off and I still had to use remover.

Oui

Hi ladies, It's almost the weekend :D Just a quick post. Today, I have Orly Oui. I'm in love with this color! It's a deep purple with gold shimmer. The formula was great to work with. I bought this as a mini set, so the brush length was short and a little awkward, but all minis are. I do have larger bottles of Orly and the brush length is great. As far as the brush is concerned, it is a little thin, but easy to work with. But, I compare every brush to Rimmel (it's my fav brush) It is somewhat sheer, 2 coats would've been good. I don't normally do 3 coats but, today I felt it was worth it :D Then I added 60 Second Rush Top Coat. The sun was playing peek a boo today, so I labeled the pics for y'all. Have a great day :D

Teresa Marie

Hi ladies :D I hope everyone has some great plans for the weekend! I do! I'm Christmas shopping again :D

Warning: Pic heavy :D

Today, I have a franken for you. All week I've been experimenting with different colors. I have 6 nieces and thought I'd create something for each of them. I specifically created this color with my niece Teresa Marie in mind. I wanted something dark and bold, but not vampy. I think I achieved just that with this color. I used China Glaze Vertical Rush, Pure Ice French Kiss, and an NYX glitter. It's a deep plum with a cherry burgundy undertone when shifted in the light. Like her I love it! I wish I could create something as beautiful as her, but that'll never happen :D Have a great day ladies :D



Now on to the best pics! My Inspiration for today's creation. I just love how each pic shows a different side of her.
