ARTSY WEDNESDAY Jewelry inspired

This week we are pulling inspiration from jewelry. Since I have a jewelry box FULL of baubles...it was hard to pick. I for sure thought Id go with My prized possession.... A gorgeous canary diamond engagement ring but figured the yellow would be hard to match & translate into a mani.(picture added below). So I went with Costume Jewelry. A wild rainbow stack ring that I wore throughout the summer.....
This ring is so loud I decided to go with a crazy rainbow on one finger and keep the rest clean cut with My absolute favorite matte white! I love the finished look!

Polish used:
Revlon Powder Puff matte
Forever 21 Salmon
OPI Do You Think I'm Texy
WnW Fergie Glowstick
Sinful Gorgeous
Sinful Purple Diamond

See more jewelry inspired for the rest of the team!

Polish Used:

ARTSY WEDNESDAY: Fishtails

Welcome to Another week of ARTSY WEDNESDAY....This Weeks Challenge was to incorporate a fishtail (braided) look into our manicures

This was my first time Tackling this technique & I'm quite proud of how it turned out. There are many how-to instructions for fishtails floating around the net if Your unfamiliar with how to do this. I decided to go with thinner stripes instead of a chunkier look...it took a bit longer but was worth the extra effort. I also made mine a lite off center on purpose...just to give it slightly different look (not sure if it made a difference)
This manicure is definitely a practice makes perfect & I plan on trying this several more times with different colors.
I incorporated two Nicole OPI colors from My untrieds & I love them together :)

Polish Used:

•WetNWild Silvivor
•NOPI Wild Blue Yonder matte
•NOPI Respect The World matte
•Nina Ultra Pink Frost
•OPI Servin Up Sparkle
•Seche Vite

Maybelline Great Lash Limited edition colors

I picked up the new Limited Edition Great Lash colors
There are 4 new colors available:

•Totally Teal
•Go Go Green
•Pop Of Purple
•Blink Of Blue

The formula true to form is Amazing. The colors leave a bit to be desired if Your looking for bold bright color like the advertisement represents.
The colors come off a bit more subtle with the purple being the least pigmented.
My favorites were the Teal and the Green. I've swatches them below.

Has anyone tried these? What are Your thoughts on the colors?

ARTSY WEDESDAY Matte N Shine

This weeks theme was to incorporate matte & shine into one manicure. I went with Black & ivory colored Dice with shiny dots...I pretty happy with the turnout except the overall look was a bit chunky due to the fact that I was lazy and didn't remove my last manicure of Nars Orgasm :/
But I feel my shorter nail length was perfect for dice. If my nails had been longer I definitely would have went with Dominos ;)

Polish Used:

•Loreal Ravens Strength
•Revlon Runway Pearl
•WarPaint Beauty Mattify

I love the look of runway pearl & ravens strength with the matte coat. They both have gorgeous shimmer that has a nice depth when flat....

Enjoy!

And join us next week for Fishtail Manicures!!

My Pretty Orgasm

Yea I said it...My Orgasm is Pretty :)

I topped my Nars Orgasm with Deborah Lipmanns Oh you Pretty Things

I was so lucky to find (ie. STALK) Deborah Lippmann polish at My local Tj Maxx. I called and had them hold what they had. The associate was like do You wanna know the colors? I was like Nope, Just hold em...I will be right there within the hour. I'm sure he thought I was a polished crazed wierdo lol.
Anywho legend had it that the coveted DL polish was being sold at TJ for 5.99
Wellllllll the rumors are TRUE...I only paid 5.99each for 2 bottles of naked which is an amazing nude (I already own her) that I gifted to My Mother & Younger sister
The 3rd bottle was a beautiful soft sheer peach with pink coral shimmers called Oh You Pretty Things....Gorgeous.

I knew I would layer her with a similar shade I aready own Nars Orgasm. This combo is soooooo amazing. Pictures don't do the magic on my finger tips justice (I've also cut my talons into nubbies that I'm LOVING)
I tried to capture the essence of this manicure.....just trust me on this one...I've painted my nails hundreds probably thousands probably more but anyway....this has got to be in My top five favorite combos!

Enjoy :)

FYI

•Naked is part of DL core line
•Oh You Pretty Things was Limited edition for Juicy Couture
