Sinful Colors Sweet Nothing with Unicorn

 Hey guys! It's been a long week for me. On Monday I started Nail Tech School! I wasn't sure if I was going to announce it here but thought I should. It's something I have been wanting to do for a while now and finally just decided to go for it. If everything goes as planned I should graduate the end of April or beginning of May.
 Today I have Sweet Nothing, from the Sugar Rush Collection, a beautiful turquoise blue. I paired it with Unicorn, a light yellow, since they seemed to compliment each other fantastically. Picture is two coats of Sweet Nothing with Unicorn Dotted around the cuticle on my ring finger followed by top coat.

Sinful Colors Orange Cream

 Hey guys, another polish from the Sinful Colors Sugar Rush collection today! Orange Cream is a peachy orange, almost pink, with hidden silver shimmer. Picture is two coats with top coat.

 I added a Color Club gold holographic glitter, which I think is Gingerbread from the Beyond The Mistletoe collection but not positive since I bought it in a set at T.J. Maxx and none were labeled, near the cuticle and dragged it down. It really reminds me of something exploding and raining down.

Sinful Colors Candy Coated with Roses

 So, I went back. Yes, I went back to Walgreen's and picked up a few more Sinful Colors. I mean, really, you can't beat the price on sale! It was too tempting, I couldn't resist.
 One of the polishes I picked up was Candy Coated from the Sugar Rush collection, a purple with a touch of blue and, surprise, it has the hidden shimmer too! I didn't notice it in this one either until I tried it on. These pictures have been color altered because my camera would not pick up the exact color, even here it is just a bit more purple in real life. Picture is two coats of Candy Coated with top coat.
 Lastly, I've been wanting to try out some simple roses for a while now and this shade seem perfect for it. The roses are done with acrylic paint followed by top coat.

A Few Sinful Colors Sugar Rush Polishes

 Hey guys! We have been having a snowstorm here and it's been coming down since yesterday afternoon. I think we've had about eight inches or so. Anyways, before all the snow hit, I took advantage of Walgreen's sale on Sinful Colors polishes and picked up three from the new Sinful Colors Sugar Rush collection.

 Sugar Rush is a light blue, not really unique but I still love it. Picture is two coats with top coat.

 Cotton Candy is a light pink with a hidden silver shimmer. Picture is three coats with top coat.

 Sweet Tooth, my surprise favorite, is a light purple with hidden shimmer. Picture is two coats with top coat.
 I almost didn't notice the hidden shimmer in some of these and actually didn't know Sweet Tooth had the shimmer until I got it home and tried it out. An added bonus, the formula on all three were good, not hard to work with for being light pastel shades.   

Sinful Colors Faceted

 Hey guys! Today I have Faceted from the Sinful Colors Holiday Shimmers collection. It is a clear base with small purple hex glitter and iridescent bar glitter. It's very pretty, the bar glitter is very subtle, but it is a bit of a pain to apply. Like all bar glitters it does tend to hang over the edge if you aren't careful. Picture is one coat of Faceted over white.

Snowflakes

 Hey guys! I am on my way to work this morning so a quick post before I go. I did a super easy snowflake design for Christmas. The base is OPI What's With The Cattitude?, a bit of Sinful Colors Ice Dream on the tips and white acrylic paint for the snowflakes.

 I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service vs. Sinful Colors Winter Wonder

 Hey guys! First off I have been experimenting with my photos. I made a new lightbox backdrop and changed my lighting set up so it might be a few days before I get everything tuned in and you will probably see a few pictures with my old set up as well.
 Anyways, I had to post this today because I was out yesterday and found Sinful Colors Winter Wonder and thought it looked similar to something I just bought. Turns out, it is. It's a very close dupe for OPI On Mer Majesty's Secret Service, though OPI might have slightly larger particles in it. They are both a blue base with blue, green, pink and gold shimmer. Pictures are three coats of Winter Wonder on my index and ring finger and three coats OPI On Mer Majesty's Secret Service on my middle and pinky finger, both with top coat. Even at one coat they look exactly the same and if I didn't know any better I wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

Green Glitter Gradient

 Say that three times fast! We are still visiting family, we actually just left my parents on the East coast to visit my husbands family on the West coast and will be with them for the next week.
 This is OPI Stranger Tides for the base with Sinful Colors Open Seas, Wet N Wild Carribean Frost and TiNS The Surf Boy sponged over the tips in that order for a gradient effect. I think this has to be one of my favorite gradients, I love all the green shades together!

 The Surf Boy is a lime green glitter polish. It has stunning square iredescent glitter that you can see in the picture below. How pretty is that?

Day 10: Ombre Nails

 Day ten, Ombre Nails with Carolina, Marta and Marketta! I can't believe today is the last day.
 An ombre mani is like a color fade across the nails, typically you use five polishes in different shades like from grey to black. I did white to pink for my ombre today. I haven't done ombre nails before so this was a challenge for me. Looking through my stash I realized I don't really have polishes that are close enough for an ombre mani. They are either almost exactly the same color or not even close. I should have used one polish and frankened the rest for my lighter colors.
 From thumb to pinky I used Sinful Colors Star Fish, OPI Elephantastic Pink, Sinful Colors Beautiful Girl, Sinful Colors Easy Going and OPI Alpine Snow. In the bottles this looked the best but on the nail I think I should have switched Star Fish and Elephantasic Pink around.
