Happy Valentines.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Just want to say Happy Valentines Day!!! 

Then for my nails I am wearing OPI I Eat Mainly Lobster, OPI Argenteeny Pinkini, and China Glaze Go Go Pink in a water marble. I am excited because in school we are going to learn about this but I already have knowledge about it so I will be just fine. I can show them up with my skills. 

Today I wore pink eyeshadow and mascara and that is pretty much is it. 

That is it for today. <3

Enjoy yourself

Pink Wednesday.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Guess who is already thinking about Valentines Day? This girl right here :) I have never been one for Valentines Day but for some reason I am just in that type of mood lately. Hey what can I say people change.

Today I am just wearing a gradient nail consisting of China Glaze's Go Go Pink, Color Club's Yum Gum, Orly's Basket Case, and OPI's Teenage Dream. Then I stamped with plate SE21  with the two heart designs.I really need to invest on getting Teenage Dream in a bigger bottle because it is such a pretty color.

Anyway that is about it. I'm kind of nervous today because I only have 5 more days until school starts.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Sorry this is a tad bit late at night. I have been semi busy planning for college. I will do a big announcement here soon and I am going to talk to you all the day before to tell you what I am going to wear on my nails and maybe I will do a face of the day before I go in.

Happy Pink Wednesday! I am glad to be doing these again, I kind of missed them. Today I went really simple, I haven't had the time to do my nails too much and my creativity isn't flowing very fast lately. I used two coats of Color Clubs Space Case which is just a bright pink with holographic glitter. I actually don't like this polish as much because the beautiful glitter gets covered by the pink. Then I decided that I would add Correction Tape by Wet N' Wild on my ring finger.

Anyway that is it for today. Happy New Year everyone and I am very sorry that I didn't get to tell you that on New Years but I was kind of busy. I cut my hair today so I might post about that later on, I actually don't like it, I may or may not grow into it but we will see. I might have to go get it cut again.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Soulful Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

How was everyone's Christmas? Mine was okay, got a lot of exciting things. I will be doing a haul but I am not sure when it will be up. I promised you to post on Christmas but I wasn't at my own home. I might add a couple of pictures of the other two days below but I am not sure.

Today I am wearing Sinful Colors Soul Mate which is a very blue based bubble gum pink. It reminds me of Orly's Cotton Candy.Then I stamped a butterfly from SE18, I used Snow Me White by Sinful Colors. It is really simple but very cute and I have done a design very similar when I first purchased the stamping set.

I hope you enjoyed this.... I will be talking to you very shortly so look forward to that. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Snowful Pink Wednesday.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I was actually stumped on what to do for this Pink Wednesday, which is odd for me. 

I did a pink base and stamped a design in two different colors, silver and white. I know the stamp I used actually isn't a snowflake design but on my short nails it actually give off the impression of a snowflake.

For the base color I used OPI's My Address is Hollywood. Then I used Salon Express plate number SE20 and the image with the three little stars or whatever they are. I used LA Colors Art Deco in Silver and White.

What I had on yesterday was a gradient made of blues and it actually stained my nails and skin.

Anyway that is it for today. Psst. some little birdie told me that I am 3 followers away from the big 50 which means I will be doing a giveaway... I will post it after Christmas <3 if I get there before Christmas.

Enjoy yourself 

XOXO

Penguinish Pink Wednesday :)

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I saw a post from The Big Bad Wolf post on Penquins, I knew I had to do this design. She did hers on all of her nails and I thought this is Pink Wednesday so I had to incorporate pink somehow. 

A while back I did a post about the Revlon Glitters. Starry ink is a lilac toned pink with small round and large hex silver glitter. For my nails I made a bling finger out of my penguin and then the other nails got two coats of Starry Pink. At first I wanted to stamp on this nail polish but I actually have been wearing this polish since yesterday and just added the penguin today, when I tried stamping yesterday it totally ruined the nail polish. It took this nail polish FOREVER to dry even with a top coat. So I just left it alone.

For the accent nail I painted the nail with the Starry Pink yesterday but I painted black acrylic paint over it. Then I added an egg shaped circle in white on the bottom of my nail and then with the end of a brush I dotted two circles above the egg shape. Then in the center of that I added two smaller black dots. Finishing up I added three small yellow triangles, one under the eyes and two at the base of the egg shape. I made a drawing below to show you how to do it step by step. 

Haha don't make fun of my drawing. 

Anyway that is about it. I can't wait until after Christmas to show you a gift that I got yesterday that I am totally excited for. It is going to make blogging and nail art/ anything related sooooo much easier. Expect a new collection post in about a month or two since I am doing a new collection post every 6 months. 

Just expect that the day after Christmas.... Not to brag or anything.

Ohhhh 10 more followers until 50 followers.I think I am going to try to do a 50 Follower Giveaway but I am not sure. What would you like to see in a giveaway I already have 2 items.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Halloween Challenge Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Happy Witches Poison Wednesday, I didn't actually know what to do today... I remembered that I had previously did a witch earlier in October. Why not do her poison?  On my pinkie, middle, and index fingers is her poison. On my thumb and ring finger is cross bones and a skull. 

I used Color Club Yum Gum, Raspberry Rush, and Gimme A Grape Big Kiss for the gradient and art work. Then the little black dots are Tangled In My Web by Wet N' Wild, I picked the glitter out and placed it where I wanted.

That is all for today :) Sorry it looks so nasty around my cuticles this cold air got to me today and I was in a rush.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Halloween Challenge Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Webbed Wednesday meets Pink Wednesday! I did a really neon pink with crackle on all of the nails besides my left ring finger which has a nice big web on it. Also notice that shine? Yeah that's Seche Vite, I am completely sold on it. Much better than IMN. I plan on buying this very soon. Most likely at Sally's.

I used Creme Pink by Sinful Colors and Black Mesh by China Glaze. Some Acrylic paint as well.

I am pretty worn out so I am going to hit the road. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Quick Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Today I decided to do something different. It is Wednesday after all. I wanted to hold on to the Halloween nail art but I am still holding on to brighter colors and not such deep nail art. 

OPI My Address is Hollywood is my base color, It is a medium pink with a darker fuchsia shimmer, some have said gold as well but I am not sure. I used this color in my 30 Untrieds.

Max 2012 Crackle in Innocence is just a white crackle. I have wanted one for so long, so I am excited to actually own one. I got 10 crackles in all from 2012, I plan on keeping 6 and GIVING AWAY 4. I will be doing a giveaway at either 150 or 200 followers, Yes I know I have a while to go before I get that many, I just have to work myself up.

China Glaze Crackle in Tarnished Gold is a foil-y gold crackle. I bought this because I had seen the Sally Hansen one on someone but I didn't want to spend the amount on S.H. when I could buy this one for the same price at Sallys. I did layer a top coat between, if you don't they won't crackle on top of each other. 

I had originally done this design with Revlons Minted, Max 2012 Innocence, and China Glazes Tarnished Gold, Personally I liked that combo a lot better.

I am brewing something up for the up coming holiday, so keep your eyes out for that. It has taken me awhile to come up with this certain series. I hope you all like it! Expect the opening on Sunday, October 16th and it will run until Monday, October 31st. So two weeks.

 I didn't realize that I have taken such a long break and for that I am sorry, I am sick and the 30 Untireds really was draining on me. I have reviews planned for 3 things that will take place within the next week. One is nail related and the other two are makeup related. 

Keep a look out for the exciting things to come.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

A Halloween Pink Wednesday.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Long time no talk... LOL only 2 days. I told you I was going to take a little break after my 30 Untrieds. I think my break is done.

Now coming up with a Halloween design for pink is hard, really hard. I only have three or so ideas but I guess that is okay since there is only 3 more after today.

Today's theme is a girly witch. 

I used Finger Paints Rose Patina as my base pink, black and white acrylic paint, and LA Colors Art Deco in Baby Pink.

On my thumb I did a corset type of pattern, my boyfriend said it looks more like a shoe, lol.

On my index finger I have the start of the broom.

On my middle finger I have some of the broom and the little witch, I thought I did her backwards.

On my ring finger I have the rest of the broom. 

On my pinkie I have a little witch hat. 

Woohooo clever right?

Stay tuned for my other Pink Wednesday's in October.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 28 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I want to thank you all for sticking with me the whole entire 30 Untrieds. It has been a weird cycle. Today I figured it was my last Pink Wednesday in the series why not do something fun.

I haven't water marbled in a long time. I am not sure why I haven't but it has been around a month or so since I last attempted it.

I did it with three colors today, 2 I haven't tried and 1 I have... Is that cheating? I don't think so.

OPI I Eat Mainly Lobster is a bright coral almost red. Well I guess you could say red but more of a pink, it has a pink sheen to it along with golden sparkle to it. Very unique  because it isn't red but it isn't pink. RENK? 

OPI My Address is Hollywood falls along the same shimmer and sheen. This is a bright  but muted pink... Does that make sense? I have no idea. I like it.

I am not sure the point behind pinks and renks for fall but I mean I am not going to judge, I used to wear bright yellow around this time of year. 

Lastly the pink that I use the crap out of. I am totally going to be sad when it is all gone. Orly's Pink Whisper which is a light pink almost white, with a light shimmer. Very opaque. I wish I would have put a base coat of this down because you can totally see my nail line. 

Two more days WHOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! I can't wait to be done. I may take a couple of days break, just to do something makeup related.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 21 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

If you put your mind to do something, do it. You will never be more proud of yourself. I made a pact with myself that I would continue with the Pink Wednesday and for that matter, the 30 Untrieds. If you asked me a few years ago if I would be blogging about nails I would have told you no and I wouldn't have been very pretty about it. See all my life I have been the tom boy, I had nothing to do with girly stuff. I am not sure what changed my mind but one day I stopped biting my nails, started wearing makeup, and putting girly clothes on. It has made a big difference in my life. Am I upset about my past... No because without that I wouldn't be the girl sitting here blogging about her nail polish, her passion. 

As for today I thought that this would be a fitting match since the summer is turning to fall. Oh I can't wait. I dread Winter, Love Spring and Fall, and have a love hate relationship with Summer.

Sally Hansen Pink Boa is a very bright frosty pink with a blue sheen to it. It is opaque in two coats. You can see the nail line just a tiny bit in the sun which I don't mind because it is only in the sun.  These polishes can be found anywhere for around $1.75-$2.50. 

Revlon Facets Of Fuchsia is a black based polish with bright pink glitters. Small round glitter and larger hexagonal glitter. I would say for the black to be 100% opaque I would do 2 coats. I found this polish at Target for $3.74 I wanted to get its sisters as well, maybe I will go back before the end of the fall and get the other two. I have a $1 off coupon that I can use. Maybe I will be able to find it at WalMart. I put this at the tips of my nails and sponged it up to about 35% of my nail and then I started picking the hex glitters out of the polish and randomly placed them everywhere. 

Sally Hansen Pink-y Ring was apart of the spring/summer collection. It is a clear based nail polish with the same little round, bright pink glitters that are found in Revlon's Facets Of Fuchsia. If I ever want more glitter to FOF I will add this over the top. This time it is just to blend all of the polishes together. Same as above these polishes are found most places and the same price as stated before. 

Phew that is a lot of talking, thanks for reading.

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 7 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

You get what you pay for, in some cases this is very true and in others you get lucky enough to find a gem. I have only tried one other ELF nail polish and thought to myself that I would give another one a try because the other one was sort of old. I am glad that I didn't pay for this one, someone sent it to me. I am sad to say this one was such a bust because it was opaque in one coat. 

Now the pictures make it look like this polish is great but everything went wrong after I photographed the beauty of the polish. The nail polish literally slid off my nail on my left thumb, it left the most disgusting sticky feeling on my nail. I had re-did my thumb and went on taking more pictures. It did it again. Now I am one to wait and take my time on painting my nails because A.) I hate bubbles B.) I don't have much of anything to do with my day. Now it has been an hour, my nails are looking great besides that one that I planned on fixing later. I touched them and they weren't dry even after I used INM Northern Lights (shaken up), this top coat has always dried within five minutes for me. Next thing I know my nails are all smudged and nasty looking kind of like stringy and blehhh.

I am not too happy with it not one bit. 

ELF's Coral is a bright medium pink with a golden shimmer to it. I loved the application because in one coat it was opaque. Just to be sure I did two coats. Drying time was crap I hate polishes that take longer than 10 minutes to dry. 

You can find ELF polishes at Target, some KMarts, and Eyeslipsface.com for around $1 or in sets for $3-$5. I know I have seen them at Big Lots and the Dollar Store for Cheaper. 

Haha on my part, yesterday I forgot to name my post. I am trying to get used to this new interface of blogger. Anyone else kind of confused about it.

Also guess what this lucky lady just picked up today at 8am? Revlons Facets of Fuchsia and Sally Hansen Pink-y Ring. I need to get the blue one too, I almost did today but money is a little low for the polish fund so I passed it up. However I am going to layer these two and see what I get. Total glitterbomb!!!

Enjoy yourself

You're Plastic...Cold, shiny, hard plastic!!!

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I can't believe I have done this for my third time this week, SQUEEE that makes me super happy. Now lets see if I can do 30 Untireds in September. I absolutely love Pink Wednesday's!!!

Today I am wearing a pink base color with little blue and white acrylic flowers painted on my nails, along with some dots. This style of manicure is and will continue to be a favorite on my fingers.

What I Did

I painted my nails with a medium sort of muted pink color with a dotting tool (tooth pick in my case) I added 5 little dots to represent flowers, I repeated this a couple of times on each nail. In the middle of each flower I mixed blue and white and got a baby blue color and went back in and dotted these a little closer to the centers. Next I applied one single dot of white in the middles of all of the flowers. On the middle of the nail there was just too much pink showing through so I put some dots getting smaller and bigger. 

What I Used

One coat of Beauty Secrets Base Coat

Two coats of Finger Paints Rose Patina

Blue and white Acrylic

One coat of INM Out the Door

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Listening to Runaway Baby- Bruno Mars.

Nail of the Day Shocking Voltage.

Another borrowed nail polish from my sister since I am here. I don't really have as many resources here as I do there so I decided to do something simple and something you have all seen before. I love the shine to this my sisters top coat is Beauty Secrets Fast Dry, I may need to get the small version.

What I did

I started with a base of the lighter pink and then once it dried I went in and added the darker"pink" to the tips. I didn't add any stripes this time like I thought I would. I am liking this duo

What I used

-One coat of Beauty Secrets Top coat because she doesn't have a base coat

-Two coats of China Glaze's Pink Voltage

-One coat of China Glaze Purple Panic

-Two coats of Beauty Secrets Top Coat

Yay for my second Pink Wednesday.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

On Wednesday's We Wear Pink

Jumping on the train of Pink Wednesday!!! This will make me blog more often at least on Wednesdays :P I even signed the page :D

For this Pink Wednesday I decided to do little dots of different pinks. I used the ends of each brush to create the dots. With OPI this is really hard ha ha, so I just used a corner of the OPI Brush. I didn't go all the way up my nail. I think the exposed nail looks just fine. I couldn't imagine going all the way with this.

I used

Beauty Secrets Base Coat

OPI's Argenteeny Pinkini

Finger Paints in Rose Patina

Orly Pink Whisper

Sally Girl in Curfew

Sally Girl in Way Cool 

INM Northern Lights Non-shaken

The different colors of pinks really makes my nails stand out. I love the neons and the muted pinks so this is the best of both worlds. 

I am really glad that I have something to look forward to every Wednesday, maybe I will write a schedule of things to do each day. Swatch/Review Saturday, Makeover Mondays, Testing Tuesday, Pink Wednesday, Hahahah I have no idea where this is going. Maybe you can help me. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO
