An idea that would have been too much

So yesterday I mentioned buying 2 new Funky Fingers, well here is #2. This is called Sand and Stilettos, I <3 this name!!! Thinking this was going to be semi sheer like Golden Coast, I first used a base of Sinful's Black on Black. To my surprise, it was really almost opaque in 1 coat! Then I had this idea I wanted to do, since I had some fimo butterflies with me, but after I did the scotch tape design, I thought it would have been too much. So I just left it as is, and on my lunch break, will attempt my idea with other colors :)

I started with my black

Then added 1 coat of Sand and Stilettos

then half ass attempted my idea, lol, but here is a sneak peak, or idea, for tomorrows mani :)  I again used my black for the design & scotch tape.

Golden Fingers

Last week when I ran to Five Below, I love that place, I saw there were 2 new holo glitter polishes, so of course, they came home with me. Well, I finally decided to use them. This one, Golden Coast, I decided needed a base, so I used 2 coats of Confetti's Debutante first, and then added Golden Coast. I am soooo very pleased with this gold, although nothing compares to China Glaze Medallion, this might be a close 2nd.  Then I added Sinful's Black on Black for the tips :)

Here is Debutante alone

Then Golden Coast on top

a little blurry so you can see the holo goodness :)

and finally one of my fave things to do, the black tips

Bet you have never seen these!!!

Being a member of MUA, I was sooo excited when I learned that Jayna, had started her own polish company! I got a link to her Etsy store, here it is, and picked a collection and paid instantly. She had 3 collections to choose from, and depending on which you choose, you get the 3 polishes listed. I chose the Sweet Serenity set. I received them in the mail last night, and just had try them out, so here are a few swatches. Her packaging is just adorable!!!! The bottles are 5ml compared to lets say a Sinful polish bottle is 15ml.

I've just given up on my camera photographing these blues and my skin tone, At least the color is accurate. Aren't the flakies gorg!?!?! This was 2 coats :)

Oh and ignore the eff up. I'm only human :P

I am a fan of hidden shimmer, and this is so pretty!

 Now for my fave of the 3! I love dark army greens, and hidden shimmer, but can you see the blue hidden shimmer!!!!!!!!

I love them all, and was really impressed with the formula. If you're interested in purchasing these, or just checking out the other collections, Her store can be found here. I can't wait to try the rest!

Pink Flowers & Pearls

Well last night, I decided to do a subtle male mani, lol. What I mean, is a mani that won't stand out to much to men, since I have a big dealer meeting this morning, I didn't want to do anything too crazy but still fun.

For this I used, a base of Essie Merino Cool, Pure Ice Busted over top & then did the stamping with Pure Ice Outrageous.

This was my final mani :)

I started with 1 coat of Merino Cool

added 1 coat of Busted

Then stamped with Outrageous

and then, because they were sitting next me, I added some ivory pearls in the center of the flowers, on my ring fingers.

 

Dr.'s REMEDY 2011 Winter Wonder-Nails

I am so excited to share a new brand of nail polish with you all today! I was contacted by Debbie from Dr.'s REMEDY, and was given the opportunity to review their new polish line and collection. This collection is called Winter Wonder-Nails and there are 4 colors in this collection. I am showing you 3 of them.

How about a little info on the company first -

Dr.'s REMEDY is a line of doctor-inspired cosmetics that is dedicated to using clean, hypo-allergenic ingredients. The birth-child of two New York-based podiatrists, Dr. Adam Cirlincione and Dr. William Spielfogel, Dr.'s REMEDY proves quintessentially-perfect for any person looking to better the condition of their skin and nails; their Enriched Nail Polish is the first-ever nail polish on the market approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Their polish is enriched with naturally occurring anti fungal ingredients like tea tree oil, garlic bulb extract, vitamins C and E, and wheat protein and is free from harsh toxins to promote healthier, stronger nails. Dr.'s REMEDY is sold online at http://www.remedynails.com/ or by calling 1-877-323-NAIL for $16 a bottle.

Here is the first one -

Revive Ruby Red - a shimmer-infused, Wizard of Oz-inspired shade of crimson

Healing Heather Grey - a seductive pewter with deep blue undertones

and the third one I have is Desire Dark Brown - My FAVE from this collection. It's described as - a cocoa-meets-hot fudge handsome hue

I wanted to show you what the back of the bottles look like

To start off, I think the formula of these are excellent, and sooo creamy. They are almost opaque in 1 coat!!!! I also just LOVE the bottles, maybe because I'm I love the Ulta bottles too, hee hee. I do love the colors, but Desire was by far my fave of the 3 I have. I have very few true browns, and this one is a perfect dark creamy shade.  The only color I don't have is called Nurture Nude Pink, and it's described as a delicate damsel-in-distress barely-there beautiful.

If you're interested in ordering you can go to http://www.remedynails.com/ or call 1-877-323-NAIL.

So what do you guys think about this new brand?

**EDIT**  Here is a pic of the brush, and the square lid does not come off. Well...not for me, lol. I tried, but then I was pulling so hard, I was afraid I would fling it accross the room :P
