Every single time I go to the mall I never leave without buying a few bottles of Icing nail polish; this day was no different. Now, on with the pictures!!

1st up is Twilight. It is a black polish with silver glitter. I would say it is Golden Touch's fraternal twin.
 Next is J'Adore. The description I can give is that it is a dusty light blue cream. Full opacity can be reached in 2-3 coats.
And last, but certainly not least is... FROST YOURSELF. A pretty spiffy silver, hex glitter, HOLOGRAPHIC polish.

From one lacquer lover to another,
Love, Peace, & Polish.

I recently bought a TON, okay 26, rolls of nail art foil from dollarnailart.com and one of my fast favorites was English Rose.
 *This and all other nail art foils available at dollarnailart.com are approximately 1 inch wide and 5 feet long.

Before I applied the foil I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Inst-Dri Whirlwind White. It claims to be a one coat polish and to dry really fast. While it does live up to the "Insta-Dri" part it was definitely a two coat-er for me.

After the polish dries you apply one layer of nail foil adhesive.  Wait 3 - 5 minutes for it to dry (it will still be tacky, but that's a good thing).

Carefully place the foil on the nail (shiny side up) and gently rub until the acetate backing starts to peel off on it's own. And then... *insert drum roll here*


Bam! Kick ass nails just like that! Apply one layer of clear top coat that IS NOT quick drying i.e. Seche Vite, let dry, then apply any no chip top coat of choice.

Enjoy my darlings! Love, Peace, and Polish!

Last month I ordered Bundle Monster's new set of stamping plates. After ogling my bounty, I noticed BM plate 215 has a pattern on it that reminds me of a turtle shell. Thus, birthing this manicure.

Summer = Awesome

Thus, Neons = Awesome

I have an endless love affair with neons and I can never wear just one. So, I'm going to stop typing and show you the pictures.

*others thing used but not photographed: white nail polish, black nail polish, top coat, and bundle monster plate 225.

I bought this bottle around the beginning of June and couldn't bring myself to wear it--you know, it being summer and all. It's a black nail polish with ( brace yourself) GOLD GLITTER!!!!!!!!!



Full opacity can be reached with two coats, but I prefer three for more golden glittery goodness.
*notice my futile attempts at "the gap"

The black nail polish is a tad on the matte side and the glitter makes it look somewhat bumpy. To solve this use a layer of top coat. I used China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat. It helps it dry faster and shines like glass.
