New Challenge!! 30 days of untried.

Hello Ladies I'm back!! I know I basically abandoned my blog for a bit but I have been very busy at work and in life. I am back with a new challenge that will get me to blog alot more and make me use my untrieds which are the majority of my polishes. I will try to do 1 or 2 a day lets see how this goes!

 Day 1 polish is one I just received today and couldn't resist but to use it right away. It is China Glaze Visit me in prism. It is a light lilac scattered holo that went on smooth in 2 coats. It has very strong holo effect I wish China Glaze would make more of theses beauties.

Day 10 Gradient

Hello ladies today I am a little late to post my Day 10 mani because I was getting my giveaway together so I posted that first since I've been promising it for a couple weeks now. I was pretty stuck on what colors I was going to use for my gradient. Then after looking at my swatch wheels I noticed I have a lot of blue holo polish. So I tried a out a bunch of colors together in a swatch wheel and finally found 2 that looked good together but I needed a 3rd color. Then I figured id mix up a 3rd color. For this mani I used Glitter gal marine blue, China glaze DV8 and the 3rd color was a mix of DV8 and GR8 and lastly I finished it off with a coat of OPI Whats Dune?

I couldn't get good pictures of the holoness since it was night time by the time I took photos of it. I am pretty content with this one just wish I had a better 3rd color that went along with the other 2. I'm probably gonna keep this mani and add a design over it like fish scales since it reminds me of a mermaids tail. Thank for reading ladies.

Day 6 violet China Glaze LOL

Hello Ladies we are now on Day 6 Violet I had a tough time with picking a color for this one because I wasn't sure what color qualifies as Violet but I was like what the heck ill just pick any purple Ive been wanting to use. About a  month ago a went dusty hunting and found 3 brand new bottles of China Glaze LOL!!! I gave 2 away and kept one and haven't use it can you believe that!! LOL went on smooth in 2 coat with no basecoat because Ive read that its pretty hard to apply with the wrong basecoat so I just skipped it.

I love this color but then I got an idea what would a holo polish look like with a flakie on top? I had to give it a try so I went ahead and added Nfu Oh #51 and look AWESOME the pictures does not do it justice!

Hope you guys like this combination I just wish I could capture how beautiful it actually is. 

Day 2 (orange) China Glaze Sunworshiper

Day 2 is orange and I knew exactly what polish I was gonna use because it the only orange polish that wows me it is China Glaze Sunworshiper its from last years Summer collection Poolside. Its a neon orange so as a neon you all know it take a bunch of coats to cover unless you do a coat of white first. I didn't do a coat of white I just did a bunch of coats because I didn't mind mostly since the polish dries super fast. In the picture there's between 5-7 coats and no top coat. Hope you got your sunglasses on!

I love this color because of its brightness but I know a lot of people wouldn't wear this color out. My hubby describes this color as a ghetto girl color lol..How do you ladies feel about neons?

China Glaze 2nite

Today I'm going to be showing you one of my top lemmings that I finally killed. A week ago I went dusty hunting which going to salons and looking for older discontinued polishes. The China Glaze OMG's and kaleidoscopes are pretty easy to spot since they have silver caps. I spotted 2nite and asked one of the nail tech about buying it.She first looked at me like I was crazy and then tried to find me a new bottle but no luck I insisted on buying that bottle so she added some thinner to the polish and let have it for $1.50.  I left that salon skipping. I couldn't wait to wear it unfortunately there was no sun for a couple days. I didn't use a base coat and applied 2 coats of 2nite and 1 coat of China glaze FF top coat. OK on to the Holo goodness!

I'm in love with this polish! What are your favorite holos?

Haul

So this is what I have acquired in the last couple of weeks Its not alot which is good because as you all know I am out of control. I just completed 3 swaps so I am awaiting alot of Nail mail as well as my 1st Nfu ohs, NYX girls, Barielle's and some Kleancolors. The polish I got this week were all very cheap because I went Dusty hunting I managed to find brand new polish as well as used polishes in Nail salons in Boston. First I'm gonna show you some nail stuff I found at Forever 21.

Love & Beauty glitter polishes

Designed false nails

I found the rest of these is different salons all brand new! Some of these polish go for an arm and a leg on ebay so it was a big score for me!

OPI What's Dune?

OPI Shim-merry chic

OPI Midnight blue glitter

China Glaze Gr8

China Glaze LOL

OPI Turquoise shatter

OPI red shatter

OPI Blue shatter

The next two are used and I got them for $1.50 each because they are used and needed thinner. The OPI one is a mystery polish I love the color I looked for the label and it wasn't there. I posted pictures of it on facebook to help figure out what it could be all the ladies were really helpful and they all said it could be OPI blue moon lagoon because it is holo but not as strong and it could also be OPI Go on green. I love the color and I'm just gonna call it Mystery lol..

OPI Mystery salon polish

China Glaze 2nite

Can you believe that's all I got in this whole time ! I was shocked! Have you ladies ever gone Dusty hunting? Do you know what Dusty Hunting is?

China Glaze Four Leaf Clover

I currently have 518 polishes and with so many polishes its hard to pick what color to wear so a lot of the time I asked my hubby to pick a color. This time he said he wanted to see a Celtics green (he's still upset that they lost) So I looked in my stash and I the closest thing I had was China Glaze four leaf clover. The color went on perfect in 2 coats but I wasn't a fan of it so I took it off in 3 hours :-).

How do you ladies pick out what color to wear?? 

DV8 is FINALLY mine!!

I have finally got one of my top lemmings that Ive had my eye on forever. I finally decided to cough up the money to buy China Glaze DV8 from their OMG collection. I actually got this polish from a Blogsale I just ran into randomly which I don't even have the link to unfortunately but the blogger Carly was selling her stash to get some extra money so I contacted her and it was still available. I paid $15 for it I know that a little bit high but I rather help out a fellow blogger by taking some polishes off her hands then buy from some greedy people on ebay.

DV8 is a beautiful Teal linear holo, it was very smooth and opaque this is 2 coats and 1 coat o top coat. Now On to the pictures!

Day 3 of wearing the polish it was holding up really well!



This my new favorite holo! What are your favorite holographic polish? Do you have a number one lemming if so what is it? and how much are you willing to spend for it?

Foil crackle look

A while back I got a bunch of foils and I play with them here and there but I was never able to get the foil to completely transfer on to the nail were it looked good. I kinda gave up until I saw a post and video tutorial by the master of nail art Robin Moses if you don't know about her you need to go to her blog and YouTube channel now! She sometimes uses foils in her design and has testing many different glues and finally found a good foil glue. When I seen that I immediately started searching for The best glue ever (that's actually the name of it lol) I unfortunately didn't find it and I had to order it on overstock.com but it was ok because they have free shipping.

I finally got my bottle today and I wanted to try doing a design Robin did on her blog that didn't seem too difficult its a crackle polish technique which is basically using different color foils to look like crackle polish over a black polish.

For my version of design I used Wet N Wild black, Multi colored foil, China Glaze fairy dust, neon yellow and orange paint. I love this design it is now my favorite mani!

Have you ladies tried foils before? If so what kind of glue do you use?
