Lady of the Lake

Welcome to day 3 of A-England week. Today I have the beautiful Lady of the Lake with an accent nail of Nailventurous Laquer Pulverized. The purples didn't quite show up like I had hoped but it is still a very pretty manicure. Lady of the Lake can be applied as a one coater but I needed two to get it all the way to the corners of my nails. Pulverized is beautiful with blue, purple, and white glitter spattered (pulverized) throughout the base. This is a great layering glitter polish. If you have the chance to get it I highly recomment it. I then put a layer of Butter London Knackered over the remaining nails. I can hear some of you saying now "How can you cover up Lady of the Lake like that?" Well because I haven't seen it done. I think it ads a little extra to the polish. Especially since there isn't any sun today. So are you ready to see it yet???

Tristam's Eyes

Good morning readers,
I had meant to get this post up last night but I ran out of time. So not alot of yapping in this post. I am continuing A-England week with Tristam's Eyes. Now if you look reaaallly close you will notice that I only covered half of the nail with Tristam's Eyes. The other half is the same mani from yesterday. I don't think its that noticeable so I am calling this a mani fail. Tristam's eyes has a green tint to it. Not my normal favorite color. And of course once again it is raining in Santa Cruz when I am trying to show off some holo goodness. The polish applied flawlessly as usual. I also was asked last night to go to CVS for a Rx so I came home with a mini haul for swap packages. If you are interested in any of the polishes I picked up just send me a quick message. I doubt it since they are just Milani and WNW polishes. I can pick up some more :)  Okay on with the show..

Look at my new pretties :) They sparkle so much. I can't wait to do a gradiend with those purples and the pink. I think it will turn out great. Up for tonight will be Lady of the Lake..

Princess Tears

Hi everyone!
I have another post to start off A-England week. Tonight is the lovely lilac holographic colored Princess tears. From the A-England site: As the twin lilac trails of tears stream with an incandescent glow down our doomed heroine's face, they are made even more poignant by luminous grey/ green flashes.

I had one stray brush on this lovely gal but it is easily cut off. Two coats reaches full opacity and it applies like a dream. I love A-England polishes right up there with Nubar. I can't wait to get some pictures in the sun tomorrow. But for tonight you just get a few indoor shots. I also did a nail stamping with a color club foil. I purchased the stamps in a kit from Amazon. It turned out just okay but I need to keep on so I get really good at it. You can purchase A-England here or through Llarowe's site here. I happened to purchase mine through Llarowe. Her shipping is so fast!! I just hopped over to A-England site and this is the polish of the month :)  Are you ready for some pictures ladies?

See you tomorrow when I will hopefully have a gradient to show you!

Funhouse

Hi Readers,
Welcome new subscribers!!!! Today I have a great new indie polish from Dandy Nails nails called Funhouse. It is certainly a party bottle full of fun turquoise and purple shards for layering over your favorite polish. I already had on the nails a WONDERFUL creme from Models Own called Moulin Rouge that I shared about earlier. I received it from Sheila at the Pointless Cafe and I promised to wear it without any glitter for a day. And I made it.. It was a very hard challenge. After work I ran home and picked up Funhouse and put her on to add some sparkle to my nails. It was my husbands birthday so I needed to add the party theme to the fingers too. So on with the show. I again have quite a few pictures to share. I hope you like them and stop by Dandy Nails etsy store. Sandy ships out her creations very quickly. She is currently out of stock on Funhouse but has quite a few other wonderful polishes you can try out.  I would recommend Wingless. Check out the Pointless Cafe link above if you want to see some wonderful swatches of Dandy Nails other polishes.

I will hopefully starting A-England week too. I have had this polish on since Friday and the tip wear is pretty good. Dandy Nails etsy store can be reached here. Hope you all have a great Monday.

Old City

Hi Readers,

Are you ready for a glitter bomb to get you over the Wednesday blues. Well get ready to get those drool buckets ready because I have quite the polish for you today.  I received my Candeo Colors a couple of weeks ago and was able to test them out this week. I also received OPI Not Like the Movies which you saw a picture of on Monday's nail mail. Well Old City goes wonderfully over NLTM. NLTM is from the Katy Perry collection and is pretty much a silver base color with silver microglitters running through it. Although in the light this polish seems to be a shade shifter. It turns a little green, it turns a little pink, and it is silver. I really like this polish and look forward to layering more with it. Now Old City is a mix of gold and silver hexes and bar glitters. It is so sparkely and wonderful in two coats. You can get away with one if you don't like a lot of glitter on your nails. (Just don't tell me that ..Sheila he he) You need to run.. not walk over to Candeo's etsy store and pick yourself up a bottle of this glitter bomb. She was just open today and plans on re-opening in a couple of weeks. Sign up for the email notification when her etsy store opens. Now on to the show. I have quite a few pics today for you so sit down and enjoy the view.

I covered up with one coat Gelous and one coat Seche Vite. I think it needs one more coat of Seche Vite and then the coverge will be smooth as glass.

Thank you to all my fellow bloggers for swapping with me. It made for an epic nail mail week. Plus I also received my Sandy Dandy shipping notice.
