China Glaze Harvest Moon

I hope you are enjoying your Wednesday! I have a very pretty polish to show that just shouts Autumn at the top of its lungs.

China Glaze Harvest Moon is a copper metallic. The application is perfection and opaque in two coats. I absolutely love this shade for Fall.

Giraffe Print

I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday! Sorry again for my absence. Things have been crazy.

My little giraffe print nails. I wish they would have turned out better. They are part stamping and part freehand. I started off with two coats of Julep Alyson. Then I stamped on a giraffe print with China Glaze Mahogany Magic and BM-313. I had the ceiling fan and a stand fan going at the time, so the stamping did not transfer well. Thus the freehand. I got several compliments on them today though. One woman did not know about stamping. I have never seen someone that excited to learn about nail art.

Mahogany Magic is part of the China Glaze Capitol Colours Collection and retails for $3-6 at various stores and websites. Julep retails for $14 on their website. BM stamping plates are part of a 25 piece set (the 2012 one) that retails for $22 on Bundle Monster or their Amazon store.

China Glaze Fast Track

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!

China Glaze Fast Track is a light taupe filled with gold shimmer flecks. The application is great and goes on perfectly opaque in two coats. It reminds me of Essence Irreplaceable, although Irreplaceable is a few shades lighter. Actually the similarities are the reason I bought this particular polish. Its the perfect blend of neutral and fun. 

Fast Track is part of the China Glaze Capitol Colours Collection. Its currently on clearance in most stores. It retails for $3-6 at various stores and websites (including Sally's Beauty Supply, Ulta, Head2Toe Beauty, and Amazon).

Owls

I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday! Today, I have my first design using the new Bundle Monster set. You have no idea how much I have been wanting a stamping plate with owls. If I can get my hands on a cute penguin plate, my life will be complete.

How cute is this?! For my base, I used three thin coats of Essie Turquoise & Caicos. Then I stamped on my owls with China Glaze Mahogany Magic and plate BM-309. Both owl designs are on there. You can clearly see the single owl. The full nail design is two different owls and flowers. The full designs are large. Big enough to cover my thumb and more.

BM stamping plates are part of a 25 piece set (the 2012 one) that retails for $22 on Bundle Monster or their Amazon store. Turquoise & Caicos is part of the Essie Resort Collection and retails for $8 at Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Ulta, and several other stores. Mahogany Magic is part of the China Glaze Capitol Colours Collection and retails for $5-7 at various stores and websites (including Sally's Beauty Supply, Ulta, Head2Toe Beauty, and Amazon. It is (or should be) on clearance at most stores.

China Glaze Broken Hearted over Mahogany Magic

I hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday! I also hope you are not tired of crackle yet. I cannot help but like the texture, despite how I felt about it when the trend first started.

I started off with two coats of China Glaze Mahogany Magic, a milk chocolate creme. For my crackle, I used Broken Hearted, a hot pink creme. I wish the pink had popped a little more, but I do like this combination. The application on both of these is very good. Both went on very well. And so far this crackle has not thickened up.

China Glaze Crackle Glaze retail for $3-6; they are on clearance, so the prices and availability vary. Mahogany Magic is part of the China Glaze Capitol Colours Collection and retails for $5-7. Both can be found at various stores and websites (including Sally's Beauty Supply, Ulta, Head2Toe Beauty, and Amazon.
