Bursts of Bokeh Blue

I love alliteration hahah =P. Hey guys! How are you all today? Doing well, I hope! My one year blog anniversary just passed (June 10th to be exact) and I am so excited to have officially made it to this point. My first post ever was so funny now that I've had a chance to look back on it... such a newb I was =P. Time passes by so quickly, huh?? I hope you all have gotten a chance to enter my 300 Follower Giveaway before the deadline on June 19th. Just about a week left until I pick a winner! But let's get on with official business, shall we? Today's mani consisted of three polishes: Revlon First Class (dark blue creme that's a Target exclusive), Winmax #10 (vibrant turquoise glitters), and L'Apogee Turquesa (subtle blue flakies) --all wonderfully sealed with a matte top coat.

 

So many sparkles!

L to R: Sally Hansen pacific Blue, Nails Inc Baker St, Revlon First Class

Don't you just love blues?? One of my favorite colors <3. The blurry sparkles from all the glitter and flakies remind me of a bokeh effect commonly seen in photography. It's awesome =D. As you can see from the swatch wheel, First Class is NOT a dupe of the ever-so-popular Nails Inc Baker Street -- it's definitely much darker and has more navy tones in comparison to both Baker Street and Pacific Blue by Sally Hansen. But that's not to say it still isn't super gorgeous! *le sigh* Loves it. Happy (Pink-less) Wednesday and thanks for reading girlies!

Lesbihonest, I Want You to Look at My Glittoris

Bahahaha, why yes, I am a 12 year old child. But then again... this is more along the subject of adult content so by default, that would technically make me an adult =D. I will keep telling myself that. Two manis for Pink Wednesday people!

Pahlish Glittoris - The name was proposed by Shannon's husband

This is pure gold. Gold, I tell you! Visit Shannon's Etsy shop here

A sexy matte "feuhschcia" as ManGlaze calls it

LOL, they are brilliant!

I love them both! Glittoris is a pink based polish with a crazy amount of holographic, red, and fuchsia colored glitter of various shapes and sizes. This includes both square and bar glitters! Not for the faint of heart but c'mon, with a name like Glittoris, what do you expect?? Lesbihonest is a gorgeous matte fuchsia polish that's umm... freaking gorgeous? I don't really know how else to describe it. I think the pictures have already taken care of that for me =P. And can I just say... I absolutely *love* the ManGlaze bottles! Their labels are pretty dang creative too. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff though =P. Anyway, enough of my babbling! Thanks for reading guys and Happy Hump Day ;).

69 Cent Couture

If my title isn't the epitome of an oxymoron, then I don't know what is =P. Explanation for it? To create this smexy mani, I used Wet n Wild Black Creme which I got for only 69 cents at Walgreens. WIN! Let's take a break from the indies and indulge in a drug store polish for today okay? GUYS, this has got to be one of my most favorite manis evaaaaar! Holler back to this post. Less talk, more pics!

Black Creme + matte top coat + scotch tape = giggety giggety. I haz no words. Happy Friday!!! *dances*

Candeo Colors Dive Bomb

First off, I'd like to begin this post by saying WOOHOO for my 100th blog post!!! Wow, has it really been the big 100 already? Suh-weeeeet!

So are you ladies (and gents) ready for some eye candy today? It is Friday after all right? Let's celebrate!  I'm sure you all have noticed the abundance of indie brand polishes that have been popping up left and right. Seriously, some of these indie brands are really bringing it. And I mean bringin' it with a side of two snaps =P. Featured today are two manis using Candeo Colors Dive Bomb. And let me tell you, I am in *love* with this polish. You guys don't mind if I spam you with pictures right? Well, behold! Feast your eyes on the magic ahead...

 Index & ring: Revlon Royal

Middle & pinky: New York Summer Hot Sky Blue

Both bases are awesome blue jellies!

Finger Paints Lemon Sour & NYX Maven for the base

Topped off with Essie Matte About You

This was only ONE layer of glitter my friends. Every coat went on smoothly and I got a good chunk of various sized glitters every single time. Removal takes a bit more effort but of course that is expected with all glitters. I actually didn't even have to use the foil method - a little extra scrubbing with regular polish remover (no pure acetone needed!) was all it took.

So are you drooling yet? Do you guys need resuscitation now or have you already caught your breath? Okay, now that you're all back with me, the big question is where can you find this beauty? Well, you can check out Candeo Colors, an etsy shop owned by the lovely Melinda who hand mixes all these wonderful creations. I believe she is debuting a new collection soon so be sure to keep your eyes open for that! I hope you all enjoyed today's manis as much as I enjoyed doing them! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for reading my lovelies! =D

Green Speckled Matte

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of green manis pop up everywhere and appropriately so! St. Patrick's Day is only one day away and what better way to celebrate than by decorating our nails =D. Green is one of my favorite colors so this was a fun one for me to do. Since I also haven't done a matte mani in a while, I thought it was about time to bust out with the matte top coat. I used Essie Navigate Her from the recent Spring 2012 collection for the base. It's a beautiful pistachio green creme that I almost wanted to just leave alone. Too bad my Winmax #9 speckled green top coat was calling out to me. Yay for St. Patrick's Day manis!

This was 3 coats of Navigate Her but I could've easily gotten away with 2 for complete opacity. The formula was perfect perfect perfect. I loved it - couldn't have asked for a smoother application! I also love how the speckled green Winmax glitter had bits of black in it too. Reminds me a bit of a those speckled Easter eggs, you know, if it was a mutant alien one =P. So are you guys ready for the weekend? Time to hit all your local Irish pubs and get your green celebratin' on! Wooooo!
