Artsy Wednesday Sweets

If You have a SweetToOth than this weeks Challenge is for You!
I haven't been indulging in many sweets lately....So I'm living vicariously through My nails this week.
My nails are on a sugar high after choosing a Pink cupcake with rainbow sprinkles, an XL Cinnamon Roll with cream cheese frosting, Blackberry Pie & a Chocolate covered Strawberry.
This mani turned out Deliciously sweet..my personal favorite being the Cinnamon Roll. I used a matte white for the frosting and fine brown glitter for the cinnamon. I love the final look. Although this is not a manicure I'd wear everyday it was fun for the challenge.
My thumb is not pictured is a cinnamon roll as well.
It took many nail polish colors to create this look. Check the picture below!

In need of another Sugar Rush....Check out these Sweet Manicures:

VS Bombshell Summer Edition

“Hello, Bombshell. Welcome to paradise. Lush tropics. Untamed beauty. Let the summer begin. A blend of jasmine dew, white amber and starfruit,”- Victoria’s Secret.

Mmmmm...I love my fragrances & with summer fast approaching it was time for something new and refreshing. A trip to Victoria Secrets is just what the doctor ordered. The sales associate was kind enough to show me this limited edition smell good when I explained My needs.
It's fresh light and pretty....yet has staying power. I needed something that could take me through the beach and back but still nice enough for dinner.
Plus the bottles pretty cute sitting on the vanity ;)

What are Your summer faves?
Some of mine include Escada Rio, Gucci Envy & Tommy Hilfiger Cologne (yesss the men's)

Kyms Big Day Swatches

Today is My soon to be sister in laws Bridal Shower for her up coming wedding June 2nd.
Her wedding colors are Wisteria purple,ivory & silver. To commemorate her Day I've made her a custom nail polish. Appropriately named "Kym's Big Day"
This is a sheer light purple Holo. Made with various pigments as well as spectra flair mixed into a milky base. This color is buildable to bottle color with three coats as shown on the Colorwheel. I've also swatched on top of black,white & Color Clubs Puccilicious. There is a dramatic transformation on black.
I dressed the bottle with rhinestone "buttons" to coordinate the wedding colors and topped it with a black bow tie.

Hope You enjoy....

Ps..I apologize for the swatch pics. My camera doesn't seem to like holos.

The Genius TopCoat

I finally Acquired some course grade Spectraflair :) I went into My Polish lab to mix & bottle My new signature Nail polish "GENiUS TopCoat" I love anything rainbow so this is so Me. I am loving everything about this polish.

I plan on using this on everything. Today I have gone dark and layered the GENiUS TopCoat over Sally Hansen's Navy Baby
I can't stop staring at My hands....what colors to do next? Hmmmm
Enjoy!

Ava Goes Green

Todays Manicure of the day comes from My 4year Old Niece Ava.
Given her pick of polish today,She chose Wet N Wilds Sage in the city. A beautiful frosty green.
I'm so proud My little nieces are so creative and girly...I love seeing their choices in color and style come through in Fashion & Beauty
I Love You Ava!

MAC Cinestyle

I wanna start off with saying I'm so over Sticky GoOpy lipGloss...I just don't have the energy to keep up that relationship anymore.
Hair sticking to your lips is gross & that white sticky crust that thick tacky types of glosses leave behind has NEVER been cute.
Ok rant over....
With that said I Loooooove MAC Cremesheen Glass. It's super smooth and creamy. Very moisturizing on My lips. Cinestyle is part of the Reel Sexy collection released earlier this month (4/5) This a gorgeous creamy lavender. Cinestyle Mutes lips a bit just as a nude would and will be a great layering tool to transform other lip colors.

19.50 price tab is a little high but because of the unique color and wonderful formula, this is worth the splurge for me

P.S Im getting through My MAC/E.L.F haul & slowly trying to incorporate everything into My Routine before I give My opinion :) thnx for Your patience & feedback

What are Your thoughts on LipGloss? What are You currently using?

Holy Hologram BatMan!!!

Ohhhhh Holo how I love me some You!!
I finally got My hands on a good Black/Gray linear holographic nail polish.
This is Layla Cosmetics Hologram Effect in Flash Black.

This was a little gloppy and patchy going on...but was self leveling and opaque with 2 coats. It dried to a beautiful rainbowy charcoal.

Absolute show stopper. I photographed in low light, bright light & in the sun while tanning :)

I say its worth the 15.50 price tag at Ulta.

I topped with Seche.

Artsy Wednesday SHOES

This week has brought us to one of My personal favorite themes: SHOES!

I knew right away that My nails this week would be based upon My life long love of Air Jordan's. I started wearing them in 3rd grade & still have quite the collection today. Air Jordan's are My absolute favorite. My nails are based upon the Original Red,black & White color ways. I am a huge Michael Jordan fan, so I was very pleased with how they turned out.

Colors used:

•OPI Thrill Of Brazil
•WnW Ebony Hates Chris
•NYX Girls White

I added red & clear rhinestones to jazz it up a bit thenTopped with Seche Vite

Hope You Liked this weeks theme...let Me know down below in the comments. Also what themes would You like to see in the upcoming weeks??We'd love to hear from You.
