Some new Love & Beauty polishes

Hey everyone :) today I'm showing you one of the four new polishes that I purchased from Forever 21. I'm always checking their site for new polishes, since they are constantly addition g new ones. Well, they had some cool looking new big glitter ones, and this one, it's says it's name is Multi, but I swear on the site it was called, Mardi GRAS, caught my eye first. I loved the color combo. So of course I layered it over black :)









































Here are all the ones I got. I'll show you the other 3 soon, I promise

Umm..It is supposed to be crooked

Morning! Okay, I have come to the conclusion that it is all MUA's fault that I can't seem to stop buying polishes :) A few weeks ago, a sweet lady, Diava, posted some pics of some A-England polishes, that I just HAD to have, you know, like every other polish, lol. So I got them both, Lady of the Lake, which is the one I'm showing you today, and Tristam, which is also a holo, but a dark blue one!! I don't have any top coat on in these pics, because I was just swatching, and playing one of my new Mash plates. I'll take real actual swatches of them both this weekend :) Here is where I purchased mine :) I also want to swatch these in the day with sun, so you can all see it's true holo-ness.

Okay, well here is 2 coats of Lady of the Lake



Then I used the M60 Mash plate

and using Love & Beauty Silver, I did the dots design. Now here is what drives me crazy....the design is CROOKED! I can't stand that, and had this been a full mani, I would have had to start all over, lol. This is why I rarely do the designs that have to be placed in the center, or lined up, because I suck, lol




Just some pretty bottle pics, I love them!

The Leopards have arrived

My leopard polishes arrived from Forever 21, and I am so pleased!! The pics looked as though only 1 had some shimmer, but they all do!! The bottles are just way too cute!! These are all 3 coats. I really wish they would actually NAME their polishes, lol.

Light Green




Light Aqua - My fave of them all!!!! You can actually see the shimmer




Pink




Peach Bud



This one is my least fave from them all, but it's still pretty, I guess I'm just not a big orange girl. I know the name says peach, but I see orange, lol

Essie French Affair

While on one of my trips to Rite Aid, I saw that they had a new tiny Essie display. Now, I'm not the biggest Essie fan. I'm not sure why, but I think that the $8 a bottle for not so unique colors is why. I can't even tell you guys my reasoning for grabbing this one, because it is in no way unique IMO, but I did, lol. It is a great pink though, and the application was great too. This is 2 coats of Essie French Affiar. Then for the tips I used Love & Beauty Grey.

OPI Black Shatter has arrived!!

YAY, Black Shatter is finally here!! I was soooo excited when it arrived!! I wanted to try 2 different manis, so I decided to layer it over a sparkly gold & then a flakie.

Here is the first one I tried....I did a base of Orly Luxe and then a coat of China Glaze Medallion, which FYI is my fave sparkly gold glitter! Black Shatter needs to be used over a 100% dry mani, and used VERY quickly. I actually prefer the smaller cracked looked, like in my previous post, but this is still nice.





Then I wanted to try it over a flakie, so I used a base of Love & Beauty, from Forever 21, and then added Nfu-Oh 50 over top.

1 word.......BEAUTIFUL!!


Now here it is with Black Shatter over top

A Holiday layering experiment....

This was a mani that I did, just sort of playing around, lol, but I loved how it turned out. I started with my Sinful's Black on Black, and then added Sinful's All About You. Its an awesome gold, orange, rust colored glitter.




Then, cause I can never leave anything alone, I wanted to add some red to this, just to make it a tad more festive. I had this polish I ordered from Forever 21, and loved it, but it was just to sheer. Well, it was perfect for what I visioned. I love how it was sheer enough to let All About You still show through!
