Azature Nail Polish: Sale Haul

Azature had an amazing sale back in December. They were selling their $25 nail lacquers for $6, but only for 36 hours. I couldn't pass up that deal. I reviewed their summer collection last year, and the creams were absolutely divine. All one coaters.

My Favorite Lip Products!

I have a bad addiction when it comes to lip balms, and glosses. I stash them in my purse, on my night table, they end up all over my apartment. :-p I thought I would share some of my favorites.

This will be a picture heavy post, click below to read more.

ILNP Luna & Neon Rosebud

Well, I am back to work today... I've been off since July. (I'm seasonal for the Dept. Of the Treasury). It's going to be quite an adjustment waking up early, and commuting on the train again. (I'm kind of an insomniac when I'm not working). I've scheduled some posts for the rest of the month, until I get back into the swing of things. :)

Anyhow, I wanted to wear something pretty and shiny for my first day back at work, so these are my work week nails. 2 thin coats of ILNP Neon Rosebud, and Luna over Painted Polish Sea Lavender, plus Seche Vite topcoat. 

Neon Rosebud on ring & pinky, Luna on pointer and index.

My camera is also out of commission at the moment, so I took these photos with a back up camera. Mine went off to Sony to be repaired, (or cleaned). :( Hopefully I'll have it back soon, I'm just glad it was under warranty. I'll have better swatches of all these gorgeous flakies when I get my camera back. They are so gorgeous, and color shifty!

Left to Right: Electric Carnival, Neon Rosebud, Luna, Supernova, Gaia.

Have a great week everyone!

Formula X: Crash

I going to blame this on Polish Hound, and Doctor Crafty, for enabling me! Formula X, Crash is from their Xplosives Topcoats collection. It's a bright aqua blue matte glitter topcoat.

I started with two coats of Zoya Lolly. Lolly is discontinued (Wouldn't be awesome if Zoya brought the bright mattes back for summer?!) I managed to get mini bottles of Lolly, Phoebe, and Mitzi on Amazon a few months back.

I did the glitter gradient method here for Crash. Brushing the polish onto a makeup sponge, and then dabbing on my nails. I did place a few of the larger glitter with the brush. No topcoat, because I wanted everything to look nice and matte!

I also wanted to try Crash with purple. I did two coats of OPI Do You Lilac It? Then I used NYC Matte Me Crazy topcoat, and again did the gradient method to sponge on the glitter.

Would you try any of the Xplosives Topcoats from Formula X?

Have a Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year later tonight! I don't usually do year end posts, or top polish posts, but I did decide to make a collage of my favorite nail art from this year. :) Thanks for reading, and for all of the comments you leave, it is much appreciated. I look forward to sharing more blog posts with you all in 2015!

I also decided to do some New Years Eve Nails. For these nails I used the following: Painted Polish Drunk on Holo, Ellagee Crushed Garnet. Stamping plates used: Bundle Monster BM-H20, BM-320, and Winstonia Store W117. Stamping polishes: Mundo de Unas Fuchsia, Aqua, and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep. They didn't turn out quite like I wanted, I think maybe I should have kept the base darker on all the nails so the stamping showed better. But... they are still cute, and super sparkly in person! :)

Forever Polished Mani Bombs.

I've been seeing Forever Polished brand popping up everywhere lately. In Facebook groups, in photos on Instagram, blog reviews. Her mani bombs are super popular and in high demand lately. I was lucky enough to grab a few to try in her last restock.

I'm a sucker for floral scents, so I ordered the Coconut Lavender Love Spell Mani Crumbles, Rose Bud Crumbles, Rose Garden Mani Bomb, and a Mystery Bomb. (The mystery bomb I received smells like vanilla bean). I also received a sample mani bomb in Bora Bora scent.
