Mermaid Dreams (NOTD).

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Happy Monday everyone. I hope yours was good. I actually went in for Orientation today for Cosmetology school. Yay GO ME! I am going to add a picture of my makeup as well.

Today I decided to go blue. I am wearing Sinful Colors Savage and Revlon's Blue Mosaic. It added like a light blue/turquoise colored glitter to the green of Savage.

As for my makeup I am just wearing Urban Decays Sidecar with Smog in the crease. Black liquid eyeliner and mascara. 

Well I start school tomorrow so I am not sure how my schedule will pan out. My 100 Follower giveaway will be posted within the next two weeks. I am not sure I will be able to do another giveaway until 300 or 500 because I am completely broke. But good things happen to people all the time so we will see how things end up.

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 Tuseday- FAIL

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Treats Tuesday. Don't you hate when you have a GREAT idea in your mind but it comes out like crap on your nails. I do.

I had a design in mind that each nail would be full of different Halloween treats.

On my thumb orange and yellow Gobstoppers. 

On my index finger I decided to write TREATS with black.

My middle finger was supposed to look like Red Hots but it actually looks like red little blobs.

My ring finger is very obvious Candy Corn. 

My pinkie was supposed to be those creepy eye candies. 

I used OPI's Atomic Orange and Revlon's Minted, Colorful acrylic paints. 

FAIL FAIL FAIL. I absolutely hated this. So much so that I only did one hand and you can bet your ass I took it off within seconds after taking these pictures. ICK.

Talking about pictures, outside is really dim right now and it would look as if I was taking pictures inside anyways so I just decided that I would use my light box. 

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Revlon Glitters.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Revlon released these in August and ever since they have become the in thing right now. There are three of these glitters and initially I was only going to buy two out of the three. There is 051 Starry Pink, 934 Blue Mosaic, and 940 Facets Of Fuchsia, now I am not 100% sure why they jump around in numbering but it is an interesting aspect. I was thinking that these may have been toned down since it is in the fall time that they released these but surprisingly they are bright with the exception of Facets of Fuchsia.

Starry Pink is a baby pink almost on the lilac side. It is very murky or dusty. The glitter is a silver glitter that is a mix between small circular glitter and larger hexagonal glitter. The only sad thing is with the murky base the glitters kind of get lost, it is hard to find them.

Blue Mosaic is clear base with different colored glitter. There is light blue, small, round glitters, Big hexagonal silver, baby blue, and green glitters. This one is very unique. Since it is in a clear base I recommend using it over something else. Although you can layer tons of coats to achieve opaqueness with this alone. It is my favorite out of the bunch.

Lastly Facets Of Fuchsia and the most widely talked about. This is a black based jelly with bright fuchsia glitter. The glitter is actually small round glitters and larger hexagonal glitters. This is a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance which is based off of Lady Gaga's song. I would love to say this is my favorite because of it's diverseness but I find it to be kind of bland. LOL I am not sure how to describe it.

The best place to buy these would be at Target because the price tag is fairly cheaper there at $3.79. Also with Target you can always find coupons. I actually purchased mine at Ulta when they were having their buy two get one free deal going on, plus I had a $5 off of a $10 purchase together I purchased all of the glitters for $5. Got to be smart when shopping. 

Do you have these polishes, Do you plan on getting them, What is your favorite(s)?

Stay tuned for my up coming series for Halloween, it will be different and kind of a cute idea. :D

Sorry for my crummy pictures, I like to take them during the day when the sun is out but the sun really hasn't been out much were I live.

Enjoy yourself

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
