Hey there! How's you week going? Mine has been interesting to say the least. My car is in the autobody shop and my in-laws are still in town. Luckily, I have LO's birthday party to look forward to at the end of the week, so I've got some light at the end of the long tunnel! <br />
<br />
I've got a lovely neutral for you today, and that's Pahlish El Topo Petit, a dark taupey cream with a ton of red microglitter. The formula was smooth and creamy, and applied with easy fluidity across the nail. I used two lovely coats and had no issues with pooling or streaking and the microglitter dispersed itself equally throughout. I finished with a layer of topcoat for added shine.<br />

The microglitter is easily visible and doesn't get swallowed up by the dark base, and comes off as a beautiful red shimmer. There's something incredibly sexy about a work appropriate neutral with a pop of vibrant red shimmer. I feel like I can wear this easily at a business meeting and look professional, but then there's that quiet shimmer that hints at my inner vixen. There's not too many neutrals out there that have qualities like this, and given that it's a product of Pahlish, I'm not surprised. Shannon is brilliant and her easily wearable polishes can be found in her <a href="http://www.pahlish.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Big Cartel</a> shop. Make sure to stop by and give them a gander!<br />

Hooray for Fridays! I feel like today is going to be a really long day, considering all the craziness that I have going on at work. I'm hoping to have a fun and relaxing weekend to make up for it! Do you have any plans for the weekend?<br />
<br />
I have a really interesting polish for you today, and that's Pretty & Polished Pieces Of You from their Winter 2013 collection. It's a deep aquamarine blue jelly loaded with silver flakes and shreds, which supposedly shifts colors with temperature. Strangely, I don't know if I don't notice the color change or the thermal pigment is deactivated, but I haven't witnessed any color shift so far. Application wasn't difficult at all, although understandably it is on the sheer side due to the jelly finish. I used a total of three coats for opacity with a tiny bit of VNL, and the formula was smooth without streaking or pooling. My only complaint would be that the larger flakes can bunch up and stick up on the nail, such as the one on my index finger. That little guy would not straighten out! I finished with a layer of Essence Gel Look topcoat followed with NYC GCS.<br />

I adore the color of this jelly base and the wonderful squishy finish. There's nothing like a glitter jelly because it's like having an easy glitter sammich in a bottle. I love how unique this polish is with all it's fabulous components and beautiful finish. I'm not exactly sure how I came across this beauty, but I'm sure glad it's part of my collection! Do you know of any polishes like this or is it as special as I think it is?<br />

Happy Humpday! Hopefully this week is going by quickly for you! I've been trying to stay away from carbs lately because my DH is on a no carb diet, and so far I've been ok but not as strict as I want to be. For example, right now I'd love to have a nice crusty sandwich but I know it'll be a huge cheat. Diets are no fun! Well, if somehow I happen to come across a sandwich today, I'll try to spend some extra time at the gym today. <br />
<br />
Don't be mad at me but today's swatch is from a line of polishes that aren't available anymore, and that's Revlon Colorstay Red Carpet. The Colorstay line recently was discontinued and replaced by the Colorstay Gel Envy line. Honestly I don't know what the difference is, other than a higher price tag. The colors are the same and they both dry to a high gloss shine. Red Carpet is the bold red of this collection and uses only two coats for full opacity. Unlike typical red polishes, this did not have a strong jelly finish, but rather a crelly finish which I appreciate more(crelly means less VNL). Below I finished with a topcoat, but in all reality it didn't need it - I needed to camouflage some minor dings.<br />

A while back I came across a unique dotticure on Instagram, and ever since I've been wanting to try it out. I'm not sure if I did a good job of replicating it, but my hands are too shaky to get those perfectly sized and spaced dots. First I used a large dotting tool to make some black dots down the center of my nail, then connected them with a thin black line using a striping brush. Next I dotted with a smaller tool using GOSH Holographic Hero over the black dots. For these pics, I didn't finish with topcoat in fear that the black would smear, but luckily the nail art did not suffer from any streaks post photos.<br />

If you don't look too closely, you won't see all my imperfections. From afar, it looks like a black chain necklace embedded with diamonds. I like how the black and holographic silver accent the bold red color of Red Carpet. It's been a long while since I've done a dotticure, and I have no excuse because they're so easy to do and very quick to finish. I'm liking the shorter red nails for the summer, something I don't often do for some inexplicable reason. Have you grabbed a not so summery color to wear lately?</div>

Hello my dears! I'm still trying to get back on track but it's been difficult with LO lately. This weekend we spent a lot of time with in-laws, but I think LO was either teething or had a bitten tongue because she was really fussy and didn't want to eat. Luckily today she finally started being her normal cute self and managed to eat quite a bit for dinner. I was getting worried too, especially when MIL started googling fever blisters which brought up a multitude of diagnosis which included the likes of herpes simplex virus. Oy! That is a big reason why non-medically educated people should not be googling medical conditions. Ain't nobody got time to be scaird like that!<br />
<br />
I've been trying to figure out how to wear Hit Polish Punked Up Kicks, but could not come up with any base color that I thought would highlight the multitude of glitters in the clear base. Then it occurred to me that I do a gradient to match the colored glitters, so that they would pop against the complimentary background. I pulled out some oldies but goodies, Wet 'n' Wild I Need A Refresh Mint and Bettina Tulipani and sponged away. I love the way gradients look, but the cleanup is always a PITA. I wish I knew an easy way of doing that! Here's those results, pardon the slight uneveness. I love the way that the bubblegum pink and cool blue combined in the middle to create a hint of purple. Word of advice that's always important to remember: make sure you let the layers dry before sponging on the next, otherwise you will pull up that previous layer and cause balding.<br />

Next, I happily laid down my Hit Polish Punked Up Kicks, a bright matte blue, pink, black, and white glitter topcoat with a sprinkle of holographic hexes. I love the tiny microgitter in black and white and the shards of black to help tied in the name of Punked Up Kicks. I'm not sure if my gradient really did a lot to bring out all the colors in this glitter topcoat, but overall, I don't think I did too bad! Punked Up Kicks had a formula that was thicker than I like, and it wasn't easy getting a good balance of polish on the brush to apply on the nail. I kept getting too much on the brush which would then flood my nail. Luckily it dries down easily enough and cleanup wasn't any more difficult than the gradient. This was all finished with a quick layer of topcoat.<br />

There's a lot going on in this glitter topcoat, but with the gradient background, it does seem to go hand in hand pretty welll. The black and white matte glitter are most predominant but the matte blue and pink glitters show up easily too. I've got a few Hit Polish in my collection that I need to finish swatching, and I'm glad I finally pulled out this fun little guy to try. Are you a fan of matte glitters like this, or do you think it ends up looking too juvenile?</div>

Hey hey hey! It's Friday, yo! This has been a really strange week for me, and I'm glad that it's finally over. The in-laws have arrived for the month, which means a lot of juggling between them, LO, and work. I like routine, and only have a few days, I can't wait for things to go back to normal!<br />
<br />
What's the best look for a night out? Glittah nails!! I'm going out with some coworkers this weekend and thought some disco ball nails were in order. Enter Lumina Lacquer's Soleil, the golden sister of <a href="http://www.prettytoughnails.com/2014/06/lumina-lacquer-malificent-swatch-and.html" target="_blank">Malifient</a>. Like Malificent, this is a glitter polish made of tiny holographic gold hexes in a clear base. The formula of this beauty was not as viscous as Malificent and applied fairly easily, which is important to minimize any cleanup later. It's got a lovely density of glitter as well, and probably had enough coverage after two coats. I did three to be on the safe side, and finished with two layers of topcoat.<br />

Holographic glitter bestill my heart! Those little rainbow bits are so magical and provide hours of entertainment - especially when I'm at work. LOL. I'm so happy to have picked this golden bottle of sunshine, and I can't wait to see how it sparkles on the dancefloor(I guess that's one benefit of having the in-laws around). Lumina Lacquer is climbing up high on my list of favorite indies, and I'm looking forward to trying out more from this line. Do you have any Luminas that you recommend I try?</div>

Hello ladies! Sorry for the lapse in posting - I haven't been able to put LO to sleep without her waking up within minutes of me leaving the room. I think she must be going through a phase, which I hope passes soon. I haven't had any time to myself in over a week! That means no shopping, swatching, posting, internet browsing, or watching tv. Oy!<br />
<br />
I was in dire need of a mani change, so I grabbed what I thought would be the quickest to apply with the most payoff. I chose Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Showtime, a multifaceted royal purple flakie based polish. The flakies range in a multitude of colors from violet, blue, to purple. From my previous experience, the Colorstay Gel Envy line was easy to apply with saturated pigmentation. Unfortunately, this did not live up to that previous experience, at least the first coat did not anyway. It was streaky and patchy and I felt overall clumsy using the brush to apply the somewhat overly thin polish. The second coat did wonders to even out the first messy layer, and left only a few patches behind. I left it at two coats which dried fairly quickly albeit matte. To finish, I used a layer of topcoat for shine.<br />

Look at all those pretty flakies!! I adore flakie based polishes like these, and wish that they were easier to find. I'm willing to put up with the extra attention the application of this polish needs for a payoff like that. From afar, the different colors glint in the light, and you can easily see sparks of of violet and blue. Summer isn't really the time for dark vampy colors like this, but this is too irresistible to wait until fall. I'm not deterred from the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy line by the experience with this polish, and I hope to try out some more of their cremes in the future for further comparison. Have you a chance to try this line out yet? What are your thoughts?<br />

Hurrah for Friday! It's been a long week and I'm glad it's nearly over. It'll be my last weekend alone before the in-laws come out, followed by my parents through the end of summer. I'm going to make the most of it, and try to relax, have fun, and minimize any errands. How do you plan on spending your weekend?<br />
<br />
I've been neglecting nail art over the past couple months and decided to do a quick gradient using the new <a href="http://www.prettytoughnails.com/2014/07/wet-n-wild-summer-2014-all-access.html" target="_blank">Wet 'n' Wild Megalast All Access Summer collection</a>. I started with a base of the lightest color, A Venice Day, which required three coats for opacity. Next I sponged on the three gradient colors - A Venice Day, Love Me Some Muscle, and Beat Of A Generation together. The middle shade, Love Me Some Muscle, ended up getting bullied out by the more pigmented pink of Beat Of A Generation. I'm happy the way the colors blended together because it looks like a warm tropical sunset. Pardon my crappy clean up, it's hard to do my nails when LO wakes up in the middle of my polish hour!<br />

I added some visual interest to the gradient with Sally Hansen Spark In The Dark, a clear glitter topcoat containing matte black bar and hex glitter and gold hex glitter. Probably not the best layering combination with the gradient but I've been wanting to try this one out for a while. There's something about that gold and black glitter combination that makes me weak in the knees! Keep in mind when using this polish that the suspension base is thick like typical glitter bases, but when it dries it tends to shrink the base paint beneath it - you'll want to make sure to paint up to if not beyond your base color on your nail bed. This is finished with a layer of topcoat.<br />

Somehow with this combination I turned a beautiful tropical sunset into a bad neon eighties outfit. LOL. Well, at least I got Sparks In The Dark out of my system and it's no longer an untried, however, I'll have to come up with a more complimentary base color the next time I brave using it. Blue maybe? This is one reason why I have a hard time wearing gold accessories - it's so hard for me to coordinate! Do you ever have this problem?<br />

Happy Thursday ladies! I was suppose to have the day off today, but I
forgot and ended up scheduling a business dinner tonight. Oy. Don't
you hate when that happens? In other news, I finally got through the
last season of Game Of Thrones, and now I can't wait until the next
season starts again. I love the development of the characters
throughout the storyline! Have you seen the last season, and did you
have any thoughts about it?<br />
<br />
Today I have Wet 'n' Wild
Megalast's newest summer collection called All Access, based after
summer music festivals. Most of this collection are crellies along with
one shimmer. This limited edition collection features white tops and
can be found at drugstores in their own display for a whopping $1.99
each. The formula on these leaned mostly on the sheer side and took at
least three coats each, but keep in mind that they're mostly crellies
which dries to a squishy finish. My major gripe with this collection,
or with Megalasts in general is that the brush is too wide for my taste,
making it difficult to maneuver without messing up the cuticles. But,
for considering how wonderfully priced these are, I'm willing to forgive
that!<br />
<br />
My first polish is a nice bubblegum pink crelly called Beat Of A Generation that needed three coats for opacity. The formula was easy to apply with minimal streaks.<br />

A favorite of mine is this lovely lavender purple crelly called Trippin'
On The Boardwalk. Here, I used three coats for opacity. It still had
some VNL and probably could have used four coats.<br />

The shimmer in this collection is a Smurf blue shade with a slight
silver shimmer. Isn't she pretty? The silver shimmer isn't terribly
strong, but it's not hidden either. It's just right!<br />

Next I have a sunflower yellow crelly called A Venice Day. This one did
not have the easiest formula to work with, and still showed some
streaks even after three coats. Not surprising for a yellow I suppose,
but the color is nice!<br />

Lastly I have a peachy coral crelly that applied smoothly with no
streaks, and that's Love Me Some Muscle. I don't think I have any shade
quite like this, and I'm very pleased with the way it looks on me!<br />

Overall, I really like the shades in this collection and I think the
crelly formulas make them worthwhile to check out. They're not solid
cremes or sheers, but a nice balance in between that make them unique in
any collection. Hopefully you'll spot them next time you're at the
drugstore and pick some up. My next project will be attempting some
more nail art with these! Have you any favorite crellies?</div>

Hello lovelies! It seems that you really liked my last post with the PINCHme box. Hopefully you had a chance to sign up! In the meantime, I have some swatches for you that I did prior to my vacation. Looking at these pics makes me miss my longer nails! Hopefully I'll get some length back quickly - I still take my prenatal vitamins which contain folic acid, calcium, and biotin. Ever since I started taking them before my pregnancy, I noticed that my nails grow in much quicker and they seem healthier too with less breaks. <br />
<br />
The collection I have for you today is Zoya's Bubbly Collection for Summer 2014. I really love this collection because it has elements of my favorite finishes, which is iridescent glitter and gold shimmer. Combined together, they really make a bubbly appearance when set within varying jelly bases. Overall, most of these colors used an average of three coats for full opacity due to the jelly base, but each was easy to apply without any clumping of glitter or streaking of the semi-transparent base. I finished each color with a layer of topcoat for added shine.<br />
<br />
Zoya Harper was the first color I was allured into using, which is strange because it's a pink. Most likely it struck a chord within me because I get breathless at the sight of pink and gold together. This is a medium shade cool toned pink jelly that really works well with the iridescent glitters and gold shimmer and makes me think of cool summer sunsets(yes, we get cool summer evenings here in SoCal) over the Pacific Ocean. Three coats here with a layer of topcoat, and I ended up wearing this for a few days with excellent durability during that time.<br />

Zoya Alma is a orange tinged gold jelly that takes on a slight foil effect with its abundance of gold shimmer and iridescent glitters. This is another lovely summer color that reminds me of the warm fiery sun, especially during sunset. Three coats with a layer of topcoat here.<br />

A surprise finish for me is Zoya Jesy, a salmon based jelly color that when combined with the gold shimmer takes on a duochrome effect that had me smitten. I really love the sheer coral salmon jelly base and how beautiful the gold and iridescent particles contrasted with it. It's unlike any shade I own in my collection. At certain angles it looked mostly salmon colored, and at other angles it was mostly gold. Quite the enigma this one was! At three coats with topcoat, there was still some VNL.<br />

The other pink in the collection is Zoya Binx, which is a darker, more berry tinged pink compared to Zoya Harper. This was a very pretty pink too, and somehow the iridescent glitter and gold shimmer seem to pop a bit more against this base color. Again, three coats here with topcoat.<br />

I don't think any collection is complete unless there's a green of some sort, and this collection's green is Zoya Staasi, a muddled lime green jelly that highlights the blue shade of the iridescent glitters. The gold shimmer seems to complement the green shade rather than contrast against it, and all together the green polish reminds me of dew sparkling on blades of grass in the morning sunlight(not that I ever get to see that), or the scales of a magical dragon(not that I ever seen that either!). This is two coats with a layer of topcoat.<br />

And finally, I have Zoya Muse which <a href="http://www.prettytoughnails.com/2014/06/zoya-muse-swatch-and-review-with-bonus.html" target="_blank">I posted a couple weeks ago</a> in my excitement upon swatching it. This is a blue jelly base that seems to let the pink iridescent glitters shine through, and the gold shimmer really helps to accent the aquatic feel of this color. Side note, I'm not sure where that square glitter on my ring finger came from - huh. This is two coats finished with a layer of topcoat.<br />

I regret not matting the rest of the colors to see how pretty they'd be, but now it gives me a reason to revisit these polishes again if only to see them matted out.<br />
<br />
Overall, I love the bubbly effect of this collection - it is a unique combination of jelly base, iridescent glitters, and gold shimmer that simply is made for each other. I like that Zoya is trending along side the indie polishes and coming up with subtle glitters such as these, rather than falling to the wayside and sticking strictly to shimmers and creams. I'm looking forward to seeing what else Zoya has up its sleeves, as each season it seems to come out with fresh and innovative collections. Keep up to date with Zoya at zoya.com, and make sure to follow Zoya's facebook or blog to find out about any specials that are currently running. Have you checked out Zoya lately, and if so, what colors and/or collection has you most excited about?<br />

Dang nabbit, I was peeling an apple for LO(hurriedly I may add) and ended up peeling off the tip of the nail on my middle finger. This was the same trouble some nail that kept breaking my entire vacation, so down my length went again. This is probably the shortest it's been in a long while.<br />
<br />
A couple months ago I signed up <a href="https://www.pinchme.com/" target="_blank">PINCHme</a>, a monthly box that allows you to sample products in return for a quick review. It's not necessary to do a blog review, rather all you need to do rank your answers in a quick questionaire before the next box is released. I'm reviewing this on the blog because there was a polish included with the June box delivery that I thought you'd be interested in. For June, I chose the Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, a South Beach Diet snack bar in Chocolate Caramel Nut, Vertere Dramatic Transformation Cream SPF 15, and Sinful Colors Ocean Side. Below you can see the box as well as the products that I received.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHne4apvPZ7ed5wFMXXgoTwlH1q-jyTB8Ub43qAhe2pE8o70oH4JGP7hr_uAkz5G3vHhC_eDUllEe5Cq1rfwQ9DG4DH-_13MzNQClp7fyNm_dJXh8IlA2munjP1URTGcv9VXJF90wy2DD/s1600/PinchMe+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYHne4apvPZ7ed5wFMXXgoTwlH1q-jyTB8Ub43qAhe2pE8o70oH4JGP7hr_uAkz5G3vHhC_eDUllEe5Cq1rfwQ9DG4DH-_13MzNQClp7fyNm_dJXh8IlA2munjP1URTGcv9VXJF90wy2DD/s1600/PinchMe+box.jpg" height="289" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The first thing I did upon opening my package was eat the South Beach Diet Snack Bar, and I didn't find it chalky or strange tasting at all, rather it was more similar to a granola bar. I would probably eat this again over other granola bars because it is higher in protein and similar or less in calories(100 calories per bar) and sugar(7 grams).<br />
<br />
Next I tried Vertere cream, which I thought would be interesting because it claims to make a dramatic difference in your skin with 10 % lactic acid, salicylic acid, Alpha Arbutin, multiple peptides, antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals. Unfortunately my sample, despite being sealed in plastic was dried out to the point that it was overly waxy and generally unusable. Scent wise, the SPF smell very strong, and not a fragrance that I enjoy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was looking forward to trying out the Dove shampoo and conditioner, and I found that both had pleasant scents that came across as being fresh and light, and not overpowering. The shampoo lathered extremely well and rinsed out quickly and easily. The conditioner itself was of thick consistency which I like in a conditioner, and applied easily and evenly into my medium length hair. This rinsed out thoroughly and once my hair was dried, it was felt light, moisturized, and was not overly scented. I already had unused bottles in my bathroom cabinet from a previous purchase, and I'm pleased to have tried these because I know now that I'll like them.<br />
<br />
Finally, I have my last sample from the PINCHme box, and that's a bottle of Sinful Colors Ocean Side, a dark teal blue cream. Last month's box also offered Sinful Colors polish, but since it was my first time, I missed out because I didn't check in quickly enough to grab the polish. Each month the box offerings go live at noon and you have to choose your selections quickly before other users pick up all the samples. This time I managed to get in shortly after noon and was able to pick my choice of color out of four shades, along with my other samples. Ocean Side is a dark blue leaning teal cream that astonishingly applied to an opaque finish in only one coat. Out of habit, I did two, but I think it was totally unnecessary. This is one of those polishes that should be in your arsenal of grab and go polishes - one coaters that take no work to apply. It applied like a dream and had very little clean up. I finished with a layer of topcoat for added shine.<br />

Sinful Colors are always a budget favorite for me because their formulas are generally excellent and come in a wide range of colors and finishes. Being a one coater, this would be a fantastic polish for nail art as well. I'm surprised that I haven't noticed this color before either, being that the item number is 9xx, meaning that it's not a new release. In any case, I'm glad to add another Sinful Colors color to my collection(aka hoard).<br />
<br />
The next round of <a href="http://www.pinchme.com/" target="_blank">PINCHme</a> boxes will be available again coming July 15th at noon, so register now and make sure that you schedule in the date. There's nothing to lose, and you get a nice box of samples every month that you get to try out. In return, all you have to do is rank the products on a scale of 1 to 5 - easy peasy. Give it a go, and I hope you enjoy!</div>

I forgot to mention yesterday that during numerous flight transfers, I inevitably had some nail casualties. So be forewarned, I had to nubbinize! I haven't had short nails in a long while, and although my dexterity has improved, my nails look awkwardly short. I'll get use to it! The only problem with squares/squovals is the frequent corner chips. Hopefully I can get some length before that happens.<br />
<br />
While on vacay, I managed to squeeze a little bit of time to scroll through my Instagram feed, and came upon some swatches from Lumina Lacquer. I instantly fell in love with Malificent, a blurple holographic glitter sister to <a href="http://www.prettytoughnails.com/2014/04/digital-nails-supernova-swatch-and.html" target="_blank">Digital Nails Supernova</a>. I love the uniqueness of these holographic glitters because they're so fascinating to watch when exposed to light - it's like a million little sparks of rainbow exploding in all directions. The glitters are suspended in a clear base that I found highly viscous during application, making it difficult for me to maintain a small cuticle gap. I used two thin coats followed by a thicker third coat to achieve opacity. It dries to a gritty finish, so I recommend a topcoat followed by another quick dry topcoat for a smooth and shiny finish.<br />
<br />
The first two pics are in the light tent to show the color, and the following are under direct light so you can see Malificent in its glory.<br />

Me likey those pretty sparkles!! A-hem, sorry, I must have slipped back to LO talk. I love the shade of this beauty, and I'm becoming a fast fan of those large holographic glitters. I think I may have to stalk those polishes if they come in other colors. A green would be fabulous! Overall, I'm really happy that I found Lumina Lacquers, it seems that this line has a lot of different finishes that are worth exploring. Make sure you stop by the storefront to see what she has to offer.</div>

Hooray I'm back from vacation! It was great seeing friends and family while eating lots of yummy food. In New Orleans, we did(ate) as much as possible that was recommended, such as eating oysters at the Acme restaurant, beignets from the Beignet Cafe, fried chicken at multiple places late night, a crawfish boil at the wedding, and shrimp and grits from John Besh's restaurant Luke. My favorites were of course the delicious large oysters(helps when your BFF inadvertently meets the master oyster shucker while out the night before) and the fried chicken - oh the friend chicken - I can only dream of the spicy crispy breading and the moist succulent meat within. Why oh why can I not find anything nearly comparable here in SoCal? I also enjoyed walking along Royal St and browsing the numerous art galleries and enjoying the view of the Mississippi river, and listening to live music over on Frenchman street. My favorite activity was meeting random locals from NoLa, such as the master oyster shucker, the band that hung out with us all night, and the art gallery host also LA transplant who spent a fair amount of time expounding on his joys of living in Nola while LO played with the beads in the water fountain. The city has come a long way from the last time I was there, which was two years after Katrina, and has rebuilt a fair amount of the city up again and made it into a lively metropolis with great music, delicious food, and friendly residents who love their home city. I'll have to stop my yammering for now, and maybe follow up another time with the other half of my vacation in Virginia Beach.<br />
<br />
Speaking of summer vacation places, I have a lovely summer collection for your viewing pleasure today and that's Barielle's Key Collection for Summer 2014. These are all based on the hot tropical colors of the Caribbean and range from creams, shimmers, and a jelly. I enjoyed all of these colors and think they go perfectly with the season, especially for those summer pedicures and open sandals. Most of these applied with two easy fluid coats with no issues, making the overall experience a pleasure.<br />
<br />
First up is Barefoot In Bermuda, a bright fuchsia pink cream that's perfect for summer. Two coats here followed with topcoat for shine.<br />

Next is a surprise favorite for me, and that's Hawaiian Sunset a rusty orange with gold shimmer. Gold shimmer is always a winner for me, so I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise, but there you go. The shimmer is like a delicate gold dust embedded within the sunset orange. Two coats here followed with topcoat.<br />

The jelly of this collection is Miami Heat, a red that has orange undertones. I'm not a fan of red jellies, but this one is not difficult to apply and didn't have any streaking. It had plenty of pigmentation for a jelly and only needed three coats for opacity and dried in good time. I finished with a layer of topcoat for added shine.<br />

What is a summer collection without a sunny yellow? This is Panama Pina Colada, a creamy pale yellow that didn't apply with any streaks but needs three coats for full opacity. This is finished with topcoat.<br />

Paradise in the Tropics is another pink cream of the collection, but unlike Barefoot In Bermuda it is a tad pinker and cooler. Formula is the same as Barefoot and needed only two coats and topcoat for shine.<br />

Lastly is Topless In St Tropez, a light coral pink with a slight silver shimmer. I was wary of this shade because light pinks and I don't get along, but it actually has enough pink in it to not wash out my skintone. I used three coats with topcoat here.<br />

I gotta say, the colors in this collection all work well together, and are a balanced mix of finishes from jelly to shimmers. My surprise favorite was Hawaiian Sunset, followed with Barefoot In Bermuda. These can all be found on the Barielle.com website - make sure to sign up for the email list so you can get updates on their regular sales(I love the % off sales with free shipping on top of the regular BOGO 1/2 off), although you may not want to wait for a sale to pick these up for the summer!</div>

I'm still doing lots of last minute prep for my trip, and that included some last minute shopping for my DH's tie and a couple dresses for me. I'm sure I could have used a few more items but it's difficult to concentrate with a toddler wanting to run around and tear everything off hangers. Oy! On the bright side, I have an excuse to go shopping while on vacation because hopefully tax will be less than in CA, and also I have the grandparents to watch LO while I shop!<br />
<br />
You know how I've been going through my untrieds? I think I may have found my oldest untried indie polish. *shameface* It's Pahlish Dance Across The Sea, one of the original releases of this polish back when the line first debuted. I don't know why it took me so long to wear it, other than I think I may have been confusing the bottle with another indie brand that I received more recently. Dance Across The Sea is a azure blue crelly base loaded with tiny silver hexes and larger turquoise blue hexes. The combination is true to its name and mimics swirling tropical ocean water and sparkling tiny bubbles. Surprisingly the formula wasn't overly thick from sitting in my drawer too long and it was easily manipulated during application. As with any thick polish, I had some trouble getting all the way towards the sides of my nailbeds, but nothing a little concentration couldn't fix. I was too lazy to get up and get any thinner but I'm sure it would have made application quicker. I used three coats here and experience no dragging, stacking, or streaking of the polish whatsoever. I finished this with a nice thick layer of Essence Gel Look topcoat.<br />

I'm literally kicking myself for waiting so long to wear such a gorgeous polish that has now become a classic in indie history for polishes. I love the way the glitters catch the light and spark like water does when hit by sunlight. I think I may have a few more Pahlish classics sitting around in my drawer, but I'll have to dig them up to swatch them. Too many polishes, not enough fingers! Have you been whittling away at your untrieds?<br />

Ack! I'm such a procastinator. I'm just realizing now that I have to keep LO entertained on the plane for at least 3 1/2 hours straight for two legs of our trip. Oy. How do you keep an energetic toddler entertained on a plane for that long?? I am not looking forward to a crying and bored toddler trapped on a plane! I'm downloading some cartoons, and I'll bring some books and coloring supplies, but what else? <br />
<br />
I have my last straggler from the I Love Nail Polish Spring 2014 collection, and that's a breathtaking cyan blue holo called Music Box. I think I saved the best for last with this little gem because the color is gorgeous and commands attention. I was planning on only swatching this but instead did a full mani so I could wear it to work. The formula was typical ILNP, which is buttery thick, but sheer upon application. Two coats may have worked but I went for three to ensure full coverage. Make sure to allow the coats to fully dry in between because I experience a bit of balding which may explain my need for a third coat. Call me impatient I guess! I used no topcoat in these pics.<br />
<br />
These are in the light tent so you can see the actual color of the lovely light blue. <br />

The holo isn't as super strong as say the Color Clubs, but it's still impressive and actually fitting of this vibrant light blue. It's an eye catching shade and I'm sure I'll be too busy looking at my hands instead of where I'm walking during the day in the sunlight, but isn't that the delicious reason of wearing of holo? I can't wait! Have you been wearing a lot of holos now that summer is just around the corner?</div>

I'm glad that I'm going back to the gym, even though the gym is not my favorite way to work out. I like to keep in shape, whether it be dancing, swimming, or plain old running, but it's been hard to do it with LO needing so much attention. The gym has been convenient, and she's been adjusting well to their daycare. I managed to increase my ten minute initial workout to a whole forty minutes. Yay! Now I work on losing those last few post pregnancy pounds. How do you like to keep in shape?<br />
<br />
I have a new summer 2014 release from Zoya's Bubbly collection called Muse that I couldn't wait to show you. It's the only blue from this collection, and like the others, it features gold microglitter and holo hex glitters in a "blue raspberry" jelly base. The formula wasn't sticky like most jellies and it applied incredibly easily without any streaking or stacking of the hex glitters. I finished this with a layer of topcoat for added shine.<br />

How bubbly is that? The holo hex glitters sandwiched inside the jelly base look exactly like bubbles suspended in blue ocean water. The gold shimmer is reminiscent of sunshine rippling through the water waves. I can't wait to show the rest of the collection, with all that jelly holo hex glitters sammich goodness!<br />
<br />
Of course, what's the obvious next step when confronted with a jelly glitter sammich? Matte all the glittah!<br />

Another Monday, another dollar! I'm looking forward to the end of this week, as I'll be starting my long awaited New Orleans vacation! That being said, I totally forgot to line up some posts for the week that I'm gone, so pardon my absence. I'll try to post if I have time, but most likely I won't. I wish I had some back up posts for you, but it's so hard to get ahead, especially when LO doesn't want to fall asleep at night.<br />
<br />
Today's post is going to feature the new Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy line that is appearing now in stores. If you haven't heard, the older line is getting phased out and can be found on clearance at most stores, and these new Colorstay Gel Envys are replacing their displays. With the words Gel Envy, I can only imagine that these are suppose to super high shine along with the well known Colorstay durability. I picked up a couple(thanks to sales, coupons, and Extra bucks) and of course my eyes bee-lined straight to the deep royal blue cream called Wild Card. This is similar to those deep luscious blues like Nails Inc Baker Street and Sinful Colors Endless Blue. Unfortunately the deep blue freaked my camera out and I couldn't get it to show up on film as deep as it is IRL. The formula was perfection, with low viscosity and super high pigmentation. The brush is a pro-wide brush too with tapered corners which make maneuvering it a breeze. I only needed one coat, just like the traditional Colorstays, but I used two out of habit. And yes indeed-y, this dried to a super high shine without any need for topcoat. Win!<br />

And just because I can't leave any good ole cream alone, I had to top this with a glitter topper. I used Revlon Heavenly from the core line, and this pretty little thing has tons of hex and square glitters in iridescent pink and blue. It's a versatile topper that I can see myself using at every opportunity. I only needed one easy coat and then topped this all with a layer of my GCS/Poshe topcoat.<br />

I am highly impressed by the Colorstay Gel Envy line, as the colors are super pigmented and only need one coat for a super high shine, making it a perfect color to grab if you're running out the door like I am often am. The brush adds points for me too, as it's not a wimpy drug store brush but rather wide, just like the salon or designer polishes. And if you can get these on sale, it's a total win. I dare say that I would put these on par or above with salon polishes like Zoya or Essie. If you haven't tried these yet, you really should - you don't won't to miss out on these!</div>

Hip hip hooray it's Friday! I feel like this week has been a whirlwind of work and I'm so relieved that it's nearly over. If I'm lucky, I'll have absolutely nothing to do this weekend - I miss the days of having nothing to do except hanging out on the couch with a dvr full of shows and movies. What are you planning this weekend?<br />
<br />
Today I have the Zoya Magical Pixie collection for Summer 2014, a unique collection of pixie dusts that have larger hex glitters within the texture base. This is the first time I've ever used such a combination of glitters, and conceptually I really like the way it looks. The larger hex glitters catch a lot of light and allow for much more sparkle compared to original PixieDusts. The range is limited, which I thought was odd, it is composed of a gold and two shades of pink. My only gripe with this collection is the sheer formula - it seems that at least three coats were needed for me to build up sufficient opacity with minimal VNL.<br />
<br />
First up is Ginni, a baby pink texture that really allows the holographic glitters to pop when light hits it at the right angle. This is the lighter pink of the collection, and not a color I would normally choose. Surprisingly, I like the way it looks on me!<br />

Bar is a gold texture that really works well for summer. I don't know what it is about gold, but it's a fashionista's best friend in the summer and pairs well with anything, especially sun kissed skin. If you're looking for gold bling, Bar is your answer. The larger glitters really give this a jewel encrusted look that is very decadent.<br />

Finally I have the darkest shade of the collection, Arlo, which is a dark rose PixieDust. This one is probably my favorite from the collection, as I usually gravitate towards darker shades and the rose compliments my skin tone well. The hex glitters in this shade isn't as dense as the previous two, which unfortunately means a little bit less sparkle.<br />

Overall, I really liked the way these all look, especially when the holographic glitters catch the light and make the polish sparkle like crazy. I wish these were more opaque, but I believe that can be fixed easily by adding a similar base color underneath so there isn't any VNL showing through. I forgot to mention that after these dry, the texture isn't any rougher than the standard PixieDusts, and if anything, the larger hex glitters actually give it a smoother feel. I'm glad that I picked this up because they're unique to my collection and are so incredibly sparkly. Do you like these, and would you give them a try?</div>

Success!! I managed to take LO to the gym today and she only cried a few minutes before settling into their daycare. I didn't want to push my luck though, and only worked out for about half an hour. I'm excited about this because not only do I finally get to focus on my health and weight, but getting out the house allows LO to interact and have fun with other kids and activities. Yay! <br />
<br />
In my untried stash, I found a beauty by My Ten Friends called Planetary Romance. I don't know how I overlooked this gem, but it's a lovely orchid purple shimmer with hot pink hexes, gold micoglitter, and gold squares and hexes. Conceptually it sounds like a simple combination, but visually it comes together in a harmonious mix that reminds me of a beautiful lei of flowers. The formula itself is sheer and I need four coats to build up opacity, but fortunately the glitters are not overly dense and the final result is well balanced. I finished this with a layer of topcoat for smoothness and shine.<br />

Planetary Romance is a perfect name for this polish because the pink hexes are a romantic take of pink planets in a purpled out deep space with gold twinkling stars. My Ten Friends always manages to make some extraordinary polishes in unique color combinations and luckily she's planning on having a restock later this month. Keep an eye on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MyTenFriends?ref=stream&hc_location=stream" target="_blank">MTF Facebook page</a> for further updates and hopefully some new releases. What's better than more galaxy polishes to add to a girl's collection??</div>

Hello darlings! Did you enjoy your weekend? Ours was a quiet weekend, which is always a nice weekend at our house. LO has some sniffles, so we didn't got to the pool like planned. Instead, we tried to use our new gym membership which included daycare services. Our workout didn't last long, however, because after 10 minutes we got a call saying that she hadn't stopped crying since we left her in their care. It's going to take time for her to get adjusted to the new surroundings, which means each subsequent workout is going to be 5 minutes longer. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll get a full hour workout!<br />
<br />
Today's polish is a white crelly based glitter that allowed me to knock to untrieds in one shot. I started with a layer of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, a white cream proported to be one of the best drugstore whites out there. I'm always looking for a good white, and I was not let down by this one at all. I used only one full coverage coat and I had no issues with streaking. Perfect! For the star of the show, I used two coats of Liguid Glam Lucky Charm, aptly named for its colorful squares of turquoise, hot pink, and yellow glitters that mimic a certain cereal. In retrospect, I could have used one coat of Lucky Charm and gotten a similar effect but without as much crowding of glitters. Application itself was a cakewalk, with no issues with dragging or stacking of the adorable squares. I finished this with a layer of topcoat for shine.<br />

I really love the fanciful mix of glitters, especially considering that they're square glitters. I have used a white base in a long time either, and the bright colors really pop against the blank canvas. Although I think one coat would have been enough, I can't help not regretting the two coats because it's so much fun to apply the square glitters. Liquid Glam certainly has created a polish that is addictive to use and addictive to stare upon, which makes it worth every penny IMO. This polish is still available in the storefront, and features a 5 free formula and free shipping every day. Score!</div>

Happy Friday! Thank goodness this is a short week, it seems to have gone by like a whirlwind for me, and just like a whirlwind, everything is disorganized and haphazard. Hopefully I can pick up the pieces and get everything back in its place next week! As for the weekend, I hope to get some much needed relaxation and de-stressing. Perhaps a spa visit is required! Do you have any big plans for this weekend?<br />
<br />
From CrowsToes Summer 2013 collection, I have Minion, a delightful purple shimmering duochrome that changes from dark navy to royal purple in the slightest shift of light. Embedded within are sparkling silver flakes that give break the uniformity of the purple shimmer and give the illusion of outer space and its twinkling stars. The formula was fluid and easy to manipulate, but use a light hand to avoid brushstrokes. I used three coats here for maximum opacity and finished with a layer of topcoat of shine.<br />

I'm glad that I'm cleaning out my drawers for untrieds, otherwise this would have sat longer in there without getting any much needed appreciation. I always get weak in the knees at the sight of flakes, and then to put them into a purple duochrome base is a double whammy to my solar plexus. CrowToes somehow always manages to take polish to another level, beyond what is imagineable. It's probably her talented artists eyes that helps her create these lovely beauties. Oh how I wish I had those creative abilities!</div>

Hello my dears! I hope you had a nice long weekend! Did you do anything exciting? I had some unexpected pitfalls, namely my water heater broke and needed replacement, which cost me a pretty penny. Not to mention not having hot water for over a day! No fun! Monday made up for it though, we went to the pool so LO could splash around, and then had a nice family dinner together. Isn't that how a holiday should be spent?<br />
<br />
I have another untried Jindie for your viewing pleasure today, and that's Femme Fire, a nice pinked out version of a flaming fire. It's got the colored elements of heat translated into glitters, with matte yellow, orange and red hex glitters. Hot hot hot! They're all suspended into a creamy pink base which gives it that feminine vibe. The crelly formula calls for a semi sheer base, which needed three coats here to achieve opacity. Accordingly, the density of glitter is not overwhelming and there are no issues with stacking or clumping of glitters. This is finished with a layer of topcoat for shine.<br />

As you well know, I'm not a huge fan of pink bases, but I really like how the fire colored glitters really transform this into an edgier polish, instead of a Barbie pink girly mani. Aside from a pinked out version of fire, it also reminds me of a juicy pink grapefruit. Jindie Nails does it once again, creating attractive glitter polishes that are unique amongst all the indies. I shouldn't have left this one in my drawer for so long, but now that I've tried it, I'm looking forward to seeing what else is new in the Jindie storefront. Have you stopped by lately?</div>

Hello my dears! Whew I've had a crazy week which didn't leave much time for posting. Work has been kicking my butt again, and next week doesn't promise to be any easier. In the meantime, I need to get it out of my mind and enjoy the weekend! Do you have any fun plans for the three day weekend? A bbq perhaps?<br />
<br />
I was going through my drawers recently and pulled out my untrieds to swatch. A lot of times they end up prematurely in my drawers because of visiting guests, and then I lose track of where I put them. One of those lost but now found untrieds is Jindie Nails Taste Like Snozberries, a tpf swapbox polish I received. Jindie Nails is always a good go to indie brand when I need a glitter polish fix, and this one certainly fits that bill. It's a pepto bismol pink crelly loaded with varying sized pink circles and hexes, as well as other variants of white, purple, blue, and teal glitters. The first coat was really sheer, but three coats built up easily with very little stacking. I used a layer of topcoat, but in retrospect I could have used Gelous to smooth out those larger glitters.<br />

I love how much depth this polish has, especially with three layers worth of generous glitters. This is a fun, girly polish that reminds me of one of LOs toys that invariably squeak or sound out whenever I'm remotely nearby. Out of curiosity, I looked up the image of snozberries from Willie Wonka's movie, and yup, I can totally see the inspiration of this polish from the colors in the lickable wallpaper. I'm not sure I'd ever enjoy such a concept, but I certainly enjoy snozberries on my fingertips! Luckily Taste Like Snozberries is still available in the Jindie storefront if you're interested.<br />

Good morning! Today's going to be a long day full of meetings and paperwork, but fortunately one of my sales reps is taking me and some of the work crew out for a business expensed "work" dinner at a new highly rated restaurant. There may or may not be a coincidence that it's a few days after my birthday. I may not like aging another year, but I sure do like to celebrate my special day as many ways as I can!<br />
<br />
I learned a new technique today from <a href="http://www.fashionpolish.com/2014/05/how-to-smooth-out-frosts-in-2-easy-steps.html#.U3r71vldV8E" target="_blank">Fashion Polish</a>, and that's how to minimize brushstrokes with frosts, metallics, chromes, and foils. I'm glad to find an easy solution to those unwanted brushstrokes, and that's by using a layer of matte topcoat before the final topcoat. How easy is that? My first test subject is I Love Nail Polish Reminisce, a duochrome green shimmer that has that glow within property, shifting from dark forest green to an emerald green. True to ILNP formula, I used three fluid coats for opacity and it dried with the expected brushstrokes, despite how carefully I applied it. I used a layer of Wet 'n' Wild matte topcoat and finished with my standard GCS/Poshe mix. I have to say, there was a visible improvement but if you look hard enough, you can still see some of the marks.<br />

The duochrome effect with Reminisce isn't terribly strong, so some may be disappointed if you were looking for a bold color morph. In some lights you may catch a hint of teal, but it's elusive and brief. The gradients of green fortunately create a glowing effect which is enchanting. And matte topcoat=Winning! I have another reason to love matte topcoats, and another excuse to stock up. Whodathunk matte topcoat would clean up frosts so beautifully? Have you tried this trick yet? Or do you have another matte topcoat trick that you'd like to pass along?</div><p align="right"><a href="http://www.prettytoughnails.com/p/disclaimer.html" class="button white">Purchased</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02320223068912647762noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859794687226193545.post-54923838331546702712014-05-19T00:19:00.000-07:002014-05-19T00:19:00.630-07:00Zoya Tickled Summer 2014 Collection Swatch And Review<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Happy Monday! How did your weekend go? Did you manage to stay cool and have fun? DH made sure to let me spend my birthday the way I like, which is shopping, swimming with LO, and having a nice dinner. I didn't get to do all the shopping I wanted, but hopefully I'll get a chance soon. I have to prepare for my Nola vacation!<br />
<br />
I was fortunate enough to come by a set of Zoya's newest collection for summer, Tickled, which features creams in bold eye catching colors. The formula on all of these were very similar, and surprisingly, verged on a crelly formula. You'll see a bit of squishiness in the finish, and not any of that pesky chalkiness that sometimes happens with lighter colors. Most of these only needed two coats, all except for the lightest shade Kirtridge, which required 3 for full opacity. These are all finished with topcoat to maximize shine.<br />
<br />
The first is Wendy, a medium pink shade that IMO lands smack in neutral territory. I can't say it leans cool or warm at all, and surprisingly, looks feminine and clean on me. Pinks usually draw at my sallow undertones and I'm happy to report that this doesn't appear to do that.<br />

Tilda is probably the favorite of mine in this collection. It's a medium green shade that's got just enough murkiness to border on pretty ugly, but still leans toward a green that is full of life and reminds me of beautiful summer leaves.<br />

Rocha was a surprising favorite for me in this collection as well. I didn't anticipate it to be such a bright tangerine orange shade from looking at the bottle, but once on the nail the orange really pops. I don't normally like oranges, but the hint of red takes it out of the pumpkin orange spectrum.<br />

Next is Ling, a delightful denim shade that glides on easily with two easy coats. There's been a lot of popular dark blue shades and I'm happy to finally see a blue in the medium range. <br />

Each and every one of these colors is a lovely addition to the ever expanding rainbow of Zoya lacquers. My favorites of course are Tilda and Rocha, both of which are exceedingly vibrant and unexpected. I can see myself using these colors for summer pedis. If you're looking for some refreshing new colors to add to your collection, head over to Zoya.com and make sure you pick these up! Hopefully you'll like the crelly formula!<br />

TGIF! I'm excited for today, as I mentioned in my last post I'm off from work and I have the day to myself - well, at least until 3:30pm. Hey, no complaints here! I'll take what I can get. DH keeps asking me where I want to go for my special dinner, but I have not a clue. It's hard to decide when there's LO in tow because I need something kid friendly but elevated enough for a special occasion dinner. I'm sure we'll figure something out!<br />
<br />
Holy Carp! I've got a stunner for you tonight, and that's a glorious multichrome from I Love Nail Polish Spring 2014 collection called Sirene. There's no doubt that this is a multichrome, as it flashes deep saturated colors of green, teal, and purple. None of the shifting shades are shy either, and you can see all the colors easily at various angles. It's one of those delightfully distracting polishes that you'll be waving your fingers at yourself all day. Formula was similar to the last release of ILNP multichromes, and that's a sheer finish that requires 3 layers for opacity and careful application to avoid brushstrokes. As you can see, I couldn't avoid the dreaded brush strokes either, but the finish is worth it! No topcoat in these pics.<br />

If there's a definite must have from ILNP, I would absolutely recommend this one, and that's before I've finished swatching the rest of my ILNP haul. I don't think there's any other multichrome that could compare to the beautiful shifting colors in Sirene, but maybe that's because I'm a huge fan of purple, teal, and green. Make sure you snatch this one if you're doing the pre-order this weekend, you won't regret it!</div>
