Sprinkles or Swimming Pool? || Nails Inc. Pudding Lane

Hey guys! I got more nail mail today!!!! YAY =D


A little package from England ♥ Thank you Kim


And now... swatches, shall we? ^^





This polish is so beautiful!!! 
I couldn't help it, I had to try it TODAY, few minutes after I got it in my hands :P

This is the perfect shade for summer ♥
So let's take some pics in the beautiful sunlight...






And as everyone likes close-up, right?! Ta da =D


I want to bath in this polish, this blue makes me think of a swimming pool ♥
So like I said, perfect for summer ^^

Pictures are 2 coats of Nails Inc. Pudding Lane Sprinkles over 1 coat of Orly Nail Defense
+ on top 1 coat of Poshé super-fast drying top coat.
The application of Pudding Lane was really great.
This polish is full of glitters, so you don't have to fight to have some on your brush.
After applying the first coat, my mom came into my room and was really intrigued by my nails!
She even thought I already applied at least 2 coats to get so many glitters!!!!
I applied a second coat for full opacity of the blue base color and thus it looks like a jelly sandwich =D

You can buy Nails Inc. polishes on their website www.nailsinc.com for £11.

Thank you so much Kim, I really love it! ♥

Nail Mail: OMG OMG OMG!!!

This morning, I was at work, thinking I needed nail mail, like TODAY! Yes, I was starved of nail mail!!!
So when I came back home and noticed the package below in my bedroom, I was SO HAPPY :)


I finally got nail mail and this is a GREAT nail mail which eased my withdrawal symptoms =
the Zoya order I placed with the AMAZEBALLS polish addicted ASHLEY!!!!
As I'm not a US resident I can't order from the Zoya website :'(
So I asked my US friends if I could help someone to order the minimum amount of polishes
 to get free shipping, so it was a win - win! And Ashley took the offer =)

When I opened the package, I couldn't help myself...
 I was screaming and saying OMG again and again and again!

Zoya Gaia, Tracie, Zuza, Charla, Skylar, Neeka, Mimi & Nova + candy
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG right?!
*DROOLS*
 ♥ ♥ ♥ Love you Ash ♥ ♥ ♥

Ashley told me she sent candy with the polishes but I didn't expect that much!!!!
She's such a sweetheart! ♥  I can't thank her enough for all that...
Yes, I LOVE nail polish and I LOVE candy!! :P

International Holo Day!!! || Diagonal Holo Gradient feat. CG OMGs!!!

Happy Holo Day everyone!!! ♥

Some of my nail polish lovers friends and I decided to make May 19th THE HOLO DAY!!!

I want to use my holos from the China Glaze OMG Collection for a while now, 
so I thought this was the day to use some of them! ^^
Hope you'll enjoy my holo mani =)

Here are some pics in the sun:







Some pics indoor with flash!







I first applied 1 coat of a cheap white polish as a base color, 
and I sponged with 2NITE, LOL and QT, 3 of the 5 OMG polishes I have!
Then I applied 1 coat of Poshé super-fast drying top coat, 
but I noticed the sponging has removed partially the holoness :'( 
So I added 1 coat of a franken holo top coat I made ^^
(few drops of Color Club Fashion Addict in a clear polish :P)

Haze Glaze - To Serve Man!

Few days ago, I received a package from my friend Hazel, 
one of the amazing girls I met through Facebook ♥
I ordered 2 of her new polishes on April 30 and 1 week and a half later, I had them in my hands!!!

So, I offer you some swatches of the AMAZING To Serve Man, but keep in mind that my camera doesn't seem to be a glitter lover and this polish is EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL in real life!!! 

Pictures with flash:





Pictures in the sun:




♥ Close-up ♥

This is 1 coat of Haze Glaze To Serve Man over 2 coats of Zoya Zara, 
with 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Poshé Super-fast drying top coat.

This polish is AMAZEBALLS!!! I can't stop staring at it... I guess this is LOVE! ♥ :P
The pictures really don't give justice to the magnificence of this polish!!!

You can buy Hazel's polishes from her etsy shop : Haze Glaze!!! ♥

Zoya Zara swatches

Hey girls!
Today, I will show you the base color I chose for one the great polish of my friend Hazel.
Zoya Zara is a sheer violet with golden shimmer.
The pictures below are 2 coats without top coat, after one day.
I could apply 3 coats for full opacity but I thought 2 was OK as I planned to layer another polish over it!

Dandy Nails - Bathed in Light || First tutorial ever...

Hey guys! I really couldn't wait for this weekend...
I was so excited to do the nail art I planned with my absolutely wonderful Dandy Nails polishes!!!

Oh, and just FYI, Sandy restocked her etsy shop! YAY!
I was supposed to be on a no buy, but her polishes are so great I couldn't resist :P
I bought 2 that I wanted to buy last time but I couldn't cause "3" is MY number! 
So it was 3 polishes, or 6, 9 etc.and I had already spend to much last month, so I just bought 3 XD 
For the new order, I choose 'Come Out and Play' and 'You Set My Soul Alight'
+ the NEW one 'Look Around' ♥

When I got the polishes, I was WOW!!! Didn't know which one I'll try first...
I saw some swatches of Colorblind and Funhouse on other blogs, but none of  Bathed in Light.
Choice has been made!! lol
So I racked my brain to find a design to show you guys - in 1 mani - the magnificence of this polish,
and how beautiful it is in 1 or 2 coats, or when it is layered over other polishes...




And, to celebrate Dandy Nails polishes, I thought I had to do something new...
Yesterday was 'A day in the life of Sandy Dandy Nails' LOL
I've always been a fan of Sandy's tutorials, and I'm now a fan of her polishes,
so I decided to do a tutorial of a nail art using her polishes :D
And I did an accent nail, as she loves to do!! ;)


It's my first tutorial, so it's not really great... a bit dark :/
I tried to add a light but the image on camera was yellow → Eww :( lol

Now, here are some pictures I took during the process:

Polishes I used for the triangles
I pick 4 pink & purple polishes, including 3 untried: Guinevere (received just few days ago), 
Gabriela (send by Barbara / Betty Nails) and Frou-Frou (from my Secret Bunny Stine).

1 coat of Traffic Jam, Guinevere, Frou-Frou & BATHED IN LIGHT, 2 coats of Gabriela

After adding 1 coat of Bathed in Light on each nail




One coat of Funhouse on the accent nail




Some pics in the sun:







And some close up:

           
       

        As you can see the gorgeous 'Bathed in Light' is beautiful by itself! ♥
Several colors in 1 polish + pretty HOLOGRAPHIC glitter! And you just need 1 or 2 coats!!!
OR it can be layered over other nail polishes to add some 'light', and an holographic finish =D
So YES I'm IN LOOOVE with it!!!! ♥♥♥

What about 'Funhouse'? I can't lie... I'm in love too, lol!
It's an amazing glitter polish... It's like the glitters know where they have to be on the nail.
I mean, I have no glitter over an other, I have NO space on my nail without some glitters...
... and I didn't have to place the glitters for that!!! How cool is that?!

THANK YOU SANDY!!!

GO buy some DANDY NAILS polishes, FAST!!! :P
