New Years Eve!

Its New Year's Eve! A new year is almost here! I'm staying at home this year but my nails did not know that. :)

I used one coat of Sinful Colors Sugar Sugar then sponged on China Glaze Tinsel Town. I just got Tinsel Town yesterday on clearance at Sallys. It sponged on surprisingly well for a polish with glitter.

I hope everyone enjoys New Year's Eve!

Color Club Revvvolution

On with the New Year's inspirations! After wearing Color Club Worth the Risque, I decided I needed to try out the other Color Club polish I bought at the same time, CC Revvvolution.

I love Revvvolution much more than I thought I would. I will admit I had no intention of purchasing it at first. However, swatches online from fellow bloggers pushed me toward purchasing. Apparently, this polish and Worth the Risque are harder to come by, so if anyone is searching for them, I bought mine from this seller on Ebay.

Revvvoltion is a dark charcoal holo, basically black depending on the lighting. I'm just in love with it! The application was smooth and one coat was enough. You cannot beat a one coater with an amazing application. Not to mention the colors. I blurred the last two pictures slightly, so you can see the colors. Amazing! Even if you're not a fan of dark or black polishes, consider giving Revvvolution a chance. I'm definitely not a fan of black polishes, especially with my fair skin, but this one is just wonderful.

Color Club Worth the Risque & OPI Rainbow Connection

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend! A new year is on its way, so I am hoping to do New Year's inspired manis until January arrives.

Today I have a sparkly polish combination to show you. Holo and glitter. :)

I promise Color Club Worth the Risque is much more holo in person. It is a linear holo. The application was great and opaque in two coats. And the shine! There is no top coat in the pictures above. The polish itself is that shiny.

OPI Rainbow Connection is a pretty glitter polish packed with a rainbow of colors. It took a little patience to get some of the glitter to evenly distribute on my nail, but a lot of glitter polishes are like that. I used two coats, both thin to get the amount of glitter I wanted.

Santa Christmas Nails

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Christmas! My day as been entertaining. But what day with family isn't entertaining? :) For the holiday, I did a Christmas themed design. I could not decide on just one, so I did three. Each hand looks the same.

Each nail has a different design or polish. On my pinky, I used one coat of Essence Once Upon a Time from their Fairytale Collection. For my index finger, I did part of Santa's suit. A base coat of Wet n Wild Red Red then white stripes with acrylic paint (it goes on more opaque in one stroke) and a black belt in Sinful Colors Black on Black. For the buckle, I used Funky Fingers Golden Coast. On my middle finger, I used two coats of Sinful Colors San Francisco then one coat of the green Hard Candy mini from their Limited Edition Holiday 2011 Collection. For my index finger, I did a Santa hat. I followed a tutorial from CutePolish. I used white acrylic paint and Wet n Wild Red Red. Finally for my thumb, I did a little Santa. I saw this cutie on KK Nails and followed the tutorial from Mini Nail Blog. For Santa, I used Wet n Wild Red Red, Sinful Colors Black on Black, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, and white acrylic paint.

I have used all of these polishes before except for the Hard Candy mini and Wet n Wild Red Red. The HC mini was a little thick, but manageable. Red Red was a dream. Such a pretty red. I cannot wait to use this beauty for a full mani.

Color Club Holiday Splendor & Finger Paints Red Crackle

Its almost Christmas! I will have a cute Christmas nail art mani to show you all tomorrow. :) For today, I have a simple red and green combination.

This is not my first attempt at layering a red crackle over Color Club Holiday Splendor. However, the last one was a bit of a failure. I think this one went somewhat better. I painted all of my nails with one coat of Holiday Splendor. I love how opaque and easy to apply this polish is! Then I layered Finger Paints Red Crackle over the index finger and thumb on my left hand and my pointer and pinky on my right hand. I wish it had showed up more red, but it does look so much better than the last crackle. I already want to layer it over pink for Valentine's Day. Also, it cracks really well. Love it!
