31 Day Challenge Day 20

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Phew today in particular I had problems with nail art... Anyone ever have fail days? I seriously redid like 12 nails, haha no seriously. I hated how some of them came out. Water Marbling is such a pain to do sometimes, even when you know how to do it right and everything. The colors can get muddled together, you can totally miss the design, and sometimes you just get something that turns out looking like crap. I think everyone has those types of days, well today was mine.

I used Finger Paints Lavender Highlight, China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le, and Color Club Who Are You Wearing? I topped it with China Glazes Fairy Dust, does anyone else have a problem with CHG FD getting too thick? I know I have to use like 10 drops of thinner to get the polish back to its original smoothness. 

I hope you enjoyed, I know I liked the final look of it. Very fall-esk.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 19

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I changed my mind this is by far my favorite post out of this challenge. I have never tried Galaxy nails before today and I am going to tell you that I absolutely love it. I like how it just comes together. I actually got a lot of compliments today on my nails, people couldn't believe that I actually did this myself.

I used a CRAP ton of nail polishes for this.

Base color Downtown Diva by Ulta topped with Sally Hansens Pale Pink Opal which gave it a blue pink duochrome. 

Then I sponged You Belong To Me by Essence as my nebula, then on the edges I used Orly's Galaxy Girl. 

I used LA Colors Art Deco in white for the stars. Then for my shooting star I used Sally Hansen's Nail Prisms in Diamond which is holographic so it added something different to the table.

That's it. I hope you liked it if you did show your support by following me :)

Enjoy yourself

31 Day Challenge Day 17

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I have a lot of glitters to chose from so that made today very easy for me. I actually used multiple nail polishes for today. Glitter is a really nice way to spice up any nail look.

For the base color I used my new Orly Rock Solid which has holographic glitter in it. Then I added a layer of Sally's Girl Way 2 Disco which is a duo chrome type glitter that shines blue, purple, and green (the way to find the colors of these polishes is to go onto Sallys Beauty website and type the numbers that come with the color into the search bar). Then I added a layer of China Glaze's Fairy Dust, I have to thin this polish almost every time I use it I am sure I am not the only one. China Glaze nail polishes become thick very quick. Finally I added a layer of INM Northern Lights (shaken) which is similar to Fairy Dust so I really didn't need this step but I wanted so much glitter. 

Ugh this is going to be a pain in the ass to take off but really worth it. See the blurred picture for the sparkle. 

If you like this be sure to show your support by following me.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 8

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I tried a different attempt to Metallic nails today. I am not sure if it meant full blown shiny out there almost metal metallic nails. I settled. Today I have two different nail polishes. 

I love this challenge because I am using some nail polishes that I never thought that I would get around to using, which is a major plus in my book.

I first applied two coats of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms (holo) in Diamond which is a silver, similar to OMG by China Glaze. When I first got this polish it looked more scattered than a linear holo polish so I used it in two different frankens. I didn't realize this polish is REALLY hard to find and semi expensive, if I would have known I would have kept it all as one polish. I actually purchased this polish in a set of two at the dollar store, it came with a Diamond Strength in Forever which is a pink.

Then I applied a layer of China Glaze Tarnished Gold which is a foil-y gold. It is amazing! I love that it is such a shimmering gold color. This was actually one of my first crackle nail polish, now I have 11 crackles. I was thinking about purchasing a few more because I don't have a green or silver. 

My picture doesn't do this combo justice.

Well that's it for today I hope you liked. See you all tomorrow.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 3

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Whooohoo day 3 which is Yellow day! I love yellow to death. It is my favorite color but someone has told me that yellow is one of the most angering colors in the world. I am not sure on that. HAHA!!!

On my nails I have two colors yet again. I have Sinful Colors Unicorn on my ring and index fingers. Then on my pinkie, middle finger, and thumb I have Color Club Get Your Lem-On. Over that I put INM Northern Lights shaken up which just gives it a cutesy and pulled together look. 

That's all today folks LOL. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 1

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Everyone has seen this before! I thought I would jump on the band wagon with the 31 Day Challenge. I am not sure if this is the first edition or the second edition. All I know is that Life and Polish is doing it as well, a lot of other bloggers have done this recently. There aren't an even 31 days in November so the first of December will be the last day. 

Today is Red Nails so I didn't do it 100% red but it is red. 

I am wearing China Glazes GR8 under Max 2012 Crackle in Medusa which is a red shimmer. Very pretty if I may say.

I am pleased to be doing this challenge. I am kind of dreading the tribal and galaxy nails but I will push through that.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Halloween Challenge Thursday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Another fail in my book. TombStone Thursday, a basic graveyard look. I used a blue base and created black tombstones and crosses. I tried to write RIP on the tombstones but it just looks like little lines. 

I used Essence @Holographics in Blue Ray which isn't really holographic more of a multichrome. Then the tombstones are made out of black acrylic paint. 

Again sorry for there not being any light there  usually is but it is a really sick looking out today. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 14 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

What is better than glitter bomb? A pink glitter bomb. More of a barbie pink. 

Color Club's Space Case is from their Starry Temptress collection. It is a bright almost neon (it dries like a neon) pink with multi colored glitter. Holographic glitter I think. This is two coats and it is sort of a jelly type finish but not too much. I must say one thing about this polish, I don't really like that the glitter is not too visible and kind of looks like bumps in the the polish. Don't get me wrong you can tell it is glitter but it looks sort of dirty in my eyes. It also is really hard to clean away from my cuticles.

I need to get more from this collection. I must visit my local Fred Meyer when I have money because they were on sale there for $1.99 which is about the same as a Sinful Colors Nail Polish. I am not sure the regular price of these polishes because I haven't seen them in stores before seeing them on sale. I would like to say maybe $6? Or maybe $8 who knows.

Next month I may do the 30 Day Challenge... Who knows because Halloween is coming and I would love to have like 13 Days of Halloween or something around there. I am a Halloween fanatic. I may even do a tutorial on some Halloween makeup and nails. What is really going to be hard is Pink Wednesday in Halloween territory... I'll figure out something.

Well I am off to go apply for a butt load of jobs. Here is to hoping I get it.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 11.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies and all who have served our country,

First of all thanks to all of you who have served and who still are. 

Second of all I am sorry this is so late and I know I say this every single day but today was a really long day for me. I was at my boyfriends sisters house staying the night because she was going to be along over night, so we served as her entertainment. I liked going to her house it was quiet and peaceful. A break sort of. We didn't get back until 7:30 and it is 8:20 and this probably won't be up until 9:30. All I can say was today was really fun. 

Now I wish I would have gotten a picture of this in the sun but I was no where near a camera today so artificial lights it is. I may put a video in if I can figure out how my camera works, lol. 

This polish is a holographic color and can still be found on Amazon, eBay, and some bloggers will sell off their used holographic polishes. Expect the polishes to be anywhere from $14 - $30 for one bottle. I know you can buy holographic polishes from Glitter Gal for $14.50, if you don't want to go through eBay or Amazon. Now don't get me wrong you can find holo's for a bit cheaper, I have seen this one go for $11. You can also make your own holo's with Spectra Flair which is basically a pigment that you can add to any polish or just make it a top coat like Soguesswhat11 on youtube did. I will post a link or maybe just post the video here. Can anyone tell me how to get my links into short sentences or words? I need your help <3

China Glaze's GR8 is from China Glaze's OMG collection, a very highly sought after collection. You would think that they would continue to produce these polishes, after all the company would make bank. GR8 is a golden color that pulls a tiny bit towards a lime green color. This color I believe is the least sought after out of the entire collection considering the lower cost when I have seen OMG go for $25-$30. This is two coats above, before you blog another coat on you should really make sure that the coat is dry because it will create patches if you go over it more than once and the bottom is still wet. Drying time isn't really long though, it dries like a matte and has a weird texture, I don't mind it though. I would hate to waste this polish because I am not sure if I will ever get my hands on another.  I haven't put a top coat on this one and I don't know if I will because I have heard that it will dull down the linear holo lines. 

China Glaze's Black Mesh is from China Glaze's Crackle collection that was released this year, along with a white Lightening Bolt, a grey Cracked Concrete, a dark frosty purple Fault Line, a light blue Crushed Candy, and a light pink Broken Hearted. These are $3-$8 and you can find them at Sally's Beauty Supply, Ulta, and online etailers like 8ty8Beauty, Transdesign, and Head2ToeBeauty. I would say go into the store if you are just buying one to three polishes because shipping will be more if you decided to order, if you want more than three I would say go through the etailers. Just my thoughts. I plan on, once I get the money for the polish fund, I plan on buying like 10 to 20 new polishes from Transdesign, lets hope they have the colors I want, lets hope I don't buy all blues like I normally do with China Glaze.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO
