OPI Red Shatter

Hey everyone :) I don't feel like writing too much on here tonight but I wanted to show you OPI's Red Shatter.

This is layered over 3 coats of Worth The Risque by Color Club, which is a holo silver, and one coat of Techno by China glaze, which is a chunky holo glitter.

I actually really like the Red Shatter, even more than the black. I love red nail polish on my fingers so it was interesting to have that with some silver peeking through. I totally recommend it-- you won't be disappointed!

Color Club Silver Holo & Neon Green Swatches

Hey everyone :) I've been sooo busy the past couple days and I finally have a night in where I get to update my blog! As you could see from my last post, I bought a bunch of Color Club polishes. Over the past few days, I wore Glitter Envy and Worth The Risque. Before I go into too much detail about them, how about some swatches? :-)

Here is Worth The Risque:

This color was pretty sweet! It's a really nice silver holo. This color was surprisingly hard to photograph considering how strong the holo effect was in the sun. The second picture was the most rainbow I could capture. I promise you though, it shines even more in person! These pictures DO NOT do this polish justice! This picture has 3 coats and one coat of Seche Vite since it dried quickly but you could probably get away with 2.

And now for Glitter Envy:

I am beyond impressed with this color! It is so dang bright and eye-catching! This is one of the coolest neon greens I own. It has really interesting glitter in it. It's not super shiny or sparkly-- it's almost matte looking and kinda whitish yellow! Also, you can't feel the glitter after it dries so it doesn't have that dry, rough feeling. It stays nice and glossy!  If you click on the pic, you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about. The formula was a bit streaky but it honestly ended up applying amazingly. It dried very quickly and had a matte finish to it. This photo has 3 coats and 1 coat of Seche Vite.

What do you all think of these? I looooove em :)

Color Club Epic Haul + Swatches

Hey everyone :) So last week I visited my favorite nail store in the San Jose area called US Nail Supply. If you live anywhere near San Jose and want an awesome deal on nail polish, seriously check it out. Everything is almost half off of the regular market price and they have everything from Essie, OPI, Orly, Color Club, Zoya, China Glaze, and some other misc. brand that I've never used. They also have an awesome selection of nail art supplies, base/top coat, acetone, and a bunch of other random stuff!

Anyways last time I went there, the guy told me they were getting Color Club and I got really excited since I've never seen it anywhere else in stores. I ended up buying 10 colors since he offered me a little deal/discount type thing. I already owned Revvvolution and Wild At Heart but I bought the other 10 colors from the store. Here are the bottles and names of the colors I bought. You can click on any of the images to make them bigger.

L-R: Revvvolution, Wild At Heart, Fashion Addict, Worth The Risque, With Abandon, Alter Ego

Here are all the names of the bottoms corresponding to the picture above. I forgot Alter Ego for some reason o_O

L-R: Magic Attraction, De-Luxe-cious, Ulterior Motive, Glitter Envy, Covered In Diamonds, Femme Fatale

Here are all the names of the bottoms corresponding to the picture above.

And now for the swatches:

Top Row: Revvvolution, Wild At Heart, Fashion Addict, Worth The Risque, With Abandon, Alter Ego

Bottom Row:  Magic Attraction, De-Luxe-cious, Ulterior Motive, Glitter Envy, Covered In Diamonds, Femme Fatale

Revvvolution- Black, almost pewter holo. Very pretty and unique. Nicer that MPJ by OPI!

Wild At Heart- Deep violet holo. This is sooo gorgeous in the light!

Fashion Addict- Light purple holo. Shines like crazy in the sun.

Worth The Risque- Silver holo. Much more apparent when you apply it on the nail.

With Abandon-Black, almost dark brown with bronze shimmer

Alter Ego- Shimmery greyish purple, almost looks metallic! Very pretty!

Magic Attraction- Unique purply, pinkish, silver holo glitter. Very glittery!

De-Luxe-cious- Cool blue with pretty random-colored, almost holo glitter.

Ulterior Motive- Deep fuschia hot-pink with awesome blue/purple glitter.

Glitter Envy- Bright neon lime green with subtle, almost matte chunky glitter.

Covered In Diamonds- Really interesting glitter! Reminds me of rainbow colored confetti.

Femme Fatale- Sheer light pink shimmer. This would look best over a french manicure or layered over a darker color.


So, what do you think of the colors? Have you tried any of them? If you want me to do any swatches on my nails of any of the colors I bought, don't hesitate to ask :-)

Color Club Wild At heart + Purple Holo mani

Hey everyone! Long time no post! I had a busy week trying to get through my final papers and finals as well.... and trying to have a life in between.... gahh! Well now I'm free from school for now so I will have a lot more time on my hands!

So, I finally got to trying Wild At Heart by color club, which is a really gorgeous deep purple holo! Here are some swatches in the sunlight to start off :-) This color is soooo dang pretty!

Anyways, I got really bored last so I decided to add some artwork to it. I handpainted french tips using Fashion Addict by Color Club, which is a light purple holo. I just bought it and haven't swatched it yet, but from what I can tell, the holographic effect is really strong! Maybe I'll wear that next... Anyways, I also added polka dots using Konad M79. Like it? :-)

Purple, Blue, and Silver Glitter Gradient!

Hey everyone :D So I finally took off that plain-jane look and put on something really funky! I finally attempted a glitter gradient! I've always wanted to try it and I finally got the right kinds of glitter nail polish. Here's the look I came up with :-)

It is soooo dang sparkly and eye-catching in the light! I seriously can't stop looking at it! Here are the materials I used:

Base coat- Orly Top 2 Bottom

Navy blue base- Midnight Blue by Rimmel

Fuchsia glitter- Bubbly Bombshell by Orly

Pink/purple/blue glitter- Rockstar Pink by Sally Hansen

Silver/purple/blue chunky glitter- Starry Silver Glitter by NYC

Seche Vite Topcoat

I first applied my base coat and then put one coat of Midnight Blue so I wouldn't have to do so many layers of glitter. Then, I put one coat of Bubbly Bombshell completely covering the blue. On the top half of my nail (tip), I used Rockstar Pink.

Then I used two coats of Starry Silver Glitter on the very tip and aimed more of the chunky glitter on it. To make the colors blend better, I wiped the majority of the glitter off the brush and lightly dabbed over the other colors so little silver glitters came off.

To finish it off, I used 2 coats of Seche Vite :-) Here is a closeup of the look to your right. You can click on it for a larger image.

Now for some more photos!

Angel Wings

Hey everyone! It's been a few days since I've had a chance to update. I've had a very busy few days considering it's the end of the semester and all my term papers and finals are due. I also had an interview for a law office assistant position yesterday so I REALLY hope I got it!

So before my interview, I still had my lime green manicure and I thought I should probably tone it down and not care them with my nails haha! I did something more neutral which is wayyy out of my comfort zone but it ended up looking pretty nice :)

This is Sally Hansen's Angel Wings from the Complete Salon Manicure Collection. It's really pretty! It's kinda an off-white and has a subtle pink shimmer to it. To make it a little more interesting, I added some Konad to it! Just ignore my middle finger! I didn't get the Konad on the tip D; The white that I used is Alpine Snow by OPI. I love how this turned out but at the same time, I can't wait to take it off and put on something more funky LOL.
