Shatters + Bottles by Shadow

I wanted to play with my new shatters so  I  did a quick mani I applied Revlon Royal then took out my Turquoise shatter and then thought to do some accent nails but i was pretty tired so I ended just using silver shatter for accent nails. It didn't feel complete so I added some glitter! I did one coat of Cover girl boundless color city lights and a coat of seche vite to smooth it out.

So I recently arranged a swap with Rebecca from rebecca likes nails and one of the the polishes in the swap was her beautiful fraken that she later named Rebecca likes cupcake. I had made an order from Transdesign.com and with that order I had got some empty bottles for Rebecca and to try to do a franken. As I was packing her stuff I had an AHA moment I thought to myself I sometime buy polishes because I like the shape of the decoration of the bottle so why not decorate the bottle.. I already had an idea of what I was going to draw because Rebecca love hello kitty like I do and her fraken is called Rebecca likes cupcakes so why not make a Hello Kitty Cupcake. I decided I would draw the outline with a sharpie and then design the entire thing with nail polish. Here is the begin of the the process

Here is all the polishes I used.

Final Product

After the polishes dried I added a coat of Seche Vite to give it some protection.I love how it turned out I almost kept it for myself but It was Rebecca's fraken that inspired this creation so she deserves it. I will be making more of these. 

Im back with some Crack

Hey ladies sorry Ive been MIA lately but life and work has gotten very busy. I actually went on a mini vacation just to get away from work and family so me and the hubby went away to NH. While we were there we wanted to let off some stress so we made out way  to a Firing range. This  was the 1st time I fired a gun even though most think its not because of the gun tattoo on my hand. It was lots of fun and I did pretty good.

So now on to the nails I recently got some of the Sally Hansen Crackle and the one I wanted to use right away was Distressed Denim because my favorite color is Blue. A couple of weeks ago I seen a post on The Nailphile she was trying the crackle out and she paired Distressed Denim with OPI last Friday night. I thought that combinations was just so BEAUTIFUL!!! I had to try it!

I love this combination!! This mani surprisingly held up for 3 days and I didn't not get bored of it! What Sally Hansen crackles are you looking forward to getting?

OPI Mermaid Tears

I recently got some of the new OPI Pirates of the Caribbean polishes and the one Ive had my eyes on has been Mermaid tears so once I got it I couldn't wait to use it.  It went on smooth in 2 coat I love this color it looks like nothing in my collection.

I then decide to add some Silver shatter on a couple nails.

I absolutely love these 2 together. I am very happy I got this polish I might have to get a back up because I will definitely be using this this color a lot and I see this polish selling out. What color do you like from this collection?

Original Crakle polish Cover Girl Crackle

So it is now a new year and I can haul polishes all I want and I sure have in the past week! Yesterday was my birthday so I had birthday money and no one could tell me anything. I did my usual trips to my go to Nail Supply stores. I stopped at Dollar Tree and I found something I thought I would never see. I found a whole selection of Cover Girl Nail polish in Duo sets and while going through the them I found some with a crackle polish. Cover Girl made these crackle polishes over 10 years ago so I wasn't sure if they would even work. I bought them anyways because its only a $1 so why not. The looked funny the formula had split so I gave it a good shaking and rolling and got it to be all one color and look what I got.

As you can see the crackle look blue, black and grey before

After shaking and rolling it It looks completely black.

This is Cover Girl Boo Hou! They are other colors all seem to be Halloween themed.

Didn't think they would work but as you can see they did!

Here it is on my test wheel over different polishes. It actually worked best with the Cover Girl polish it came with which was the light frosty yellow Cover Girl Sunkissed. It took a while for it to finish cracking all the way but it was super strong after it didn't flake off like my other crackle polishes. It didn't even need a top coat it was strong and shiny.

So if you have a Dollar Tree near by please go check it out its great to own old polishes like these since everyone seems to be making them now. I actually cant wait to get the OPI black shatter and the China Glaze crackle collection to be released!
