30 Untrieds Day 20

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

This is Sinful Colors Savage. Savage is an almost teal green color. This is a cream color but it dries similar to China Glaze's Turned Up Turquoise only I wouldn't say it is matte but not a satin either. I think it is in between a satin and a gloss, LOL I feel like a painter, it is a Semi Gloss. I like the finish personally it adds some depth to my nails. 

On my ring finger I decided to have something because otherwise this would be very boring like some of the other posts I have done lately. I thought two Chevrons would be a great little addition. I just used classic white and black for the Chevrons. I didn't use regular nail polish just regular acrylic paint. 

I am super tired lately ever since I went to my boyfriends sisters house. We stayed up far too late, Now I am up  until 6 or 7 am everyday. I go to sleep and wake up around 3 pm or later in today's case. I told you all that my sleeping patterns change drastically. I hate when I stay up all night but I can't do anything about it. I even take Melatonin but it doesn't do anything. I think once I get a job I will get on track. 

I should really start searching for a job soon. I will be 21 in 5 months. I can't believe how old I am already.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 19

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I can't believe that I haven't worn this yet. After spending $10 on it I should have already. Normally I wouldn't spend so much on a polish but I was buying two things and I had a $5 off coupon to Ulta. My facial scrub would have cost $10 and this would have cost me $10 so I figure I got $5 off of the nail polish making it the regular price for Orly. 

Man I wish I had a job this would make buying polishes so much easier. No I wouldn't just buy nail polishes, I have priorities too. Nail Polish is just my passion. 

Anyway today I have Orly Halley's Comet on my finga nails. Haha! Halley's Comet is a Teal nail polish with bright grass green glitter, flecks, foils, whatever have you.  It is opaque in three to four coats, unless you apply it over a green or blue base. I smudged one nail and had to redo it, the removal was a pain and I had little grass green sparkles everywhere. Like I said earlier that this polish is $10 and came out with Orly's Cosmic FX collection in early 2011. Orly has recently made a Mineral FX collection which is similar to the Cosmic FX line. I think the Mineral FX colors cost $8. 

I absolutely enjoy this color and I am not sure why I didn't include it for my Top Fall Picks for 2011.  I can see me wearing it a lot in the fall. It is such a unique color.

If you can't afford the hefty price tag there are some options for you. There are a few dupes that you can find. 

-Zoya Charla

-Jessie's Girl Glee

-Wet N' Wild Teal Of Fortune - Not an exact dupe a little darker and the green isn't so grassy colored.

-Essence Choose Me

30 Untrieds Day 18

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Phew I am almost done with this... Yay. I think I am going to post a review on Sigma Brushes and The Naked Palette even though everyone and their mothers has heard of both of them. I may do a little look book with the Urban Decay Naked Palette, 4 or 5 looks at most. 

Today I am wearing two polishes from Sinful Colors, I think Sinful Colors is starting to become my favorite nail polish brand. It is so cheap and is a really great brand. The quality of the polishes are so nice, I compare them a lot to China Glaze. I like that I can buy three to four polishes to the price of one China Glaze or OPI. They have sales a lot too so sometimes I like to pick up more when they are on sale. 

Today I have Out Of This World, which is a silver with multi colored Glitter. It is a very sheer and needs about 4 coats to be opaque. Or you can layer it over another silver or white color. I like the color and I am not sure why I covered it with the other color.

Then I have Green Ocean over the OOTW which is a greenish clear polish with green, teal and  rusty orange flakies. Ohhh pretties. I don't like how it gave my nails a green tint to them. Made me think of algae. I am going to do an under the sea look with this polish some day.

I can imagine that removal is going to be a pain.

Enjoy Yourself

30 Untrieds Day 17

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Today I am wearing Ulta's Downtown Diva which is a dark almost black, purple. My boyfriends sister even said "Ew you are wearing black", She doesn't like black. This was opaque in one thick coat, I did two just to make sure though. This polish is a pain the butt to clean around the cuticles, I swear I used 3 pointed q-tips to clean around them and that was one hand.  This dried within five minutes and that is without a top coat, I find wearing a top coat is hard when doing these untrieds because it uses up a lot of top coat. I find that the formula is similar to OPI or China Glaze. 

I am not one to wear really dark polishes on my fingers, toes maybe. I don't like how small it makes my finger nails look. I really don't like taking the polish off either because it will either stain my nails, go into my cuticles, or get all over my skin and make my skin sticky, dirty, or even stained. I just hate all aspects of darker nail polish.

My Ulta had recently just opened and as part of their free gifts that they do every once in awhile this was apart of it. I am surprised because these polishes retail for $7.50 at any Ulta location and online. So to get it free was very nice. I don't like the small little brush I prefer OPI's or Sally Hansens InstaDri. The bottle is very sleek/ modern looking, professional if you will, The bottles "handle" is rubberized which makes it easier for you to hold. It reminds me of a NARS or Claires/Icing bottle. Which reminds me their is a Claires right next to my Ulta so I maybe stopping in there someday when the polish fund is back up.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 16

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I seriously can't believe I am half way through this, I have got exactly 14 days to go. This is a really good challenge for myself, I can get through this. 

Again sorry for posting later in the day but as it gets later in the year here it gets darker, So I wait for the sun to be completely out. 

Today I have two nail polishes. I did one color through out my nails and then went in with a glitter accent nail. Classic right? 

ELF's Medium Red is a blue based red with a cream finish. It takes two coats for the polish to be opaque. This one isn't like it's sister (Coral--Day 7), I don't mind this color or the polish. In fact the polish applied great, dried in a nice time, and hasn't chipped yet. But it still has the opportunity to chip since the day isn't over. ELF can be found at Target and Eyeslipsface.com for $1.

Wet N' Wild Sparked is a pink-y red glitter, with dark pink, light pink and silver glitter. This glitter could be worn all by itself and could be opaque in one coat. I absolutely love it with the red. I fear this one will chip before the other one. Wet N' Wild can be found almost anywhere for around $.65- $1. 

Enjoy yourself

30 Untrieds Day 15

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

When I was first starting to get into the beauty community, I started buying cheaper nail polishes because I thought that was all I could afford. If I would have saved up all the money that I spent on candy, body jewelry, and other random things while I lived at home, I would have learned that I can't just spend all my money on crap. I have spent over $1000 on candy in my entire life which is disgusting now that I look at it. I wish I would have been taught how to save money and how to eat a lot healthier. 

I bought this polish sometime in 2009. LA Colors Color Craze in Wired, Wired is a dark almost navy blue with a frosty metallic finish. It took two coats for this polish to become opaque. This polish can be found at the dollar store but I have seen people get these polishes online for more? I am not sure why I didn't wear this sooner I mean I did get it over 2 years ago. 

I personally don't like darker colors on my nails. I love neons, creams, and some glitters. I hate the removal for glitter polish. I literally looked like a disco ball today taking Space Case off of my nails. 

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 13

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Today I am wearing Sinful Colors Nirvana, which is a very purple/grey toned chocolate brown. It is a cream finish like most of my polishes are. It is a two coater but if you did thick coats I could see it being a one coat type of polish. The formula is a little runny. Very high shine without a top coat. I used L'Oreal Quick Dry oil that I bought at Big Lots yesterday for $1 and it gave it more of a shine. The oil actually acts as a cuticle oil as well. 

Sinful Colors can be found at various drugstores for around $1.99 but are usually on sale at Walgreens for $.99, just look out for the sales. 

I have to say that I never thought in my life that I would be wearing a brown but I must say I don't mind it in fact I really love it. When I was growing up I thought that brown was a dirty sick looking color and something just turned me off about it. I wouldn't wear brown clothes or shoes. The only thing that I liked to be brown was my hair, I will tell you that I have dyed my hair various different colors, Pink, green, blue, red, black, brown, blonde, purple, etc... It has gotten to the point that I don't really remember my natural hair color, blonde I believe but what shade... As of right now I am a deep red almost burgundy but it is fading sadly.

  Look at the makeup that I did, it matches it semi well. 

Enjoy yourself

30 Untrieds Day 12

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

I had bought a lot of polish back in December almost all of which were nameless, there was only 10 or so, I didn't know the state of the polish all I knew was it was very cheap. $10 for brands like Sally Hansen, Wet N' Wild, and others. 

This Sally Hansen polish was one of the ones without a name. It is a gorgeous red color with a slight golden shimmer to it. Perfectly opaque in two coats, dries within a few minutes. I believe this polish goes for $2.50 at a lot of drugstores. The shimmers really don't transfer to the nail at all which is really weird. 

I feel so drained today and I am sorry for that so not much to talk about with this polish today, I wish :(

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

30 Untrieds Day 10

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Better later than never, I had other posts that I wanted to do today to get them out of the way. I did a most worn summer nail polish and a top 10 nail polish picks for fall 2011.  I also did some makeup art today so that is another reason why I am a little late.

I really thought that this polish that I am wearing today was going to be a dupe for Orly's Cotton Candy or Pixie Stix which I won't be able to tell you until I get to swatch the other two and I don't have those. I will soon though I have put my mind to it. Along with the other colors from that collection because my Sally's still carries it.

Sinful Colors Soul Mate is a muted but bright medium pink. The polish has more of a red tint to it rather than a pure pink. It is a cream finish . This goes on opaque in one coat but to be sure I did two, also notice that shine? That is just the polish itself no top coats here.  What I don't like about this polish is that it makes my hands and cuticles look very dirty, like I got dirt up in my cuticles or something.

Sinful Colors can be found at many drugstores for around $1.99 for a .5 fl. oz. bottle. I know that Walgreens has plenty of sales on these they usually go down to $.99 and right now Fred Meyer is having a sale that is buy one get one 50% off, making the polishes $1.50

I love the application of this polish much better than my sisters Orly Cotton Candy.

Side note does anyone else have the Island Nectar candle from Bath and Body Works? OMG it smells so amazing, I can smell it in the kitchen from my bedroom (no my computer isn't in the kitchen it is in my bedroom, it is just a note.) I love this candle to death!!!

Enjoy yourself

Top 10 Picks For Fall.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

With my most worn summer nail polishes out the way I figured that I would predict what nail polishes that I would most reach for this fall. I will do an actual post about what ones I did chose the most when fall is coming to an end.

These are in no particular order, some I have tried and some I haven't.

Left

Pinkie- Eel Skin by Sally Hansen

Ring- GR8 by China Glaze

Middle- Savage by Sinful Colors

Index- Forever Young by Essie

Thumb- Don't Mess With OPI by OPI

Right

Thumb- Sexy in the City by China Glaze

Index- Skyscraper by China Glaze

Middle- Beetle by Hard Candy

Ring- Facets of Fuchsia by Revlon

Pinkie- Party of Five Glitters by Wet N' Wild

This is what I predict I could totally be wrong but that is why I am going to post at the end of fall and tell you what polishes where grabbed up the most. It may or may not be the same amount of polishes listed above or it may even be more.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO
