Orly Rococo A-Go-Go








  A lovely (almost) one-coater purple sparkle.  From last year's Rock Solid collection I think...

Happy sparkling,

Zoya Phoebe With Shimmer




















   Hey everyone.  Sorry about the lack of posts.  It's been crazy.  I'm only blogging now because I just had an energy drink that I was saving up for when I needed it, haha.  So this is Zoya Phoebe with Pure Ice Busted on top I think.  I must've posted this before but this is all I have for now.

Happy shimmering,

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

  I was lazy and unable to take pictures...




  This is Revlon Facets of Fuchsia.  I have finally learned how to properly spell the name.  I saw this a whillllllee ago and picked it up and wore it once late last year.  And I hated it.  Well, not hated it, but I certainly didn't love it.  I can honestly say that I dont really love it now either.  It was (in my opinion) too much hype for what it was...
  Facets of Fuchsia is a black jelly (well, kinda) with purple shimmer and glitter suspended in it.  It sounds good in theory, I just really did NOT like the formula.
  I belieeeeeeeve this is two coats.  Might be three, I really don't no nor care.  Hey, the good news is that my nails aren't nubbins anymore!!


Happy jellying,

Spring Splatter Mani :)

  I did this all the way back in March when Spring first started.  For this I used Love & Beauty Olive (the blue), Zoya Pippa (yellow), and Funky Fingers Cheshire (purple) and Wet n Wild French White for the base to splatter over.


Err, kinda failed couple of fingers.



  Even though it really doesn't appear like it, I think it came out very well.  The colors worked very well together and it looked actually pretty good.  I like it.
  Err, not really much to say about it, but I got newer, smaller straws for splattering.

Happy splattering,
Em

Funky Fingers Baby Baby Baby and Sand and Stilletos

  Hello world!!  A while ago I decided to do an awesome holographic accent manicure and I ended up with a Funky Fingers glitter manicure.  So ta-da!
Macro photo.

Blurred to show holo-ness
:D
  Most of these pictures are from inside of my car after school so thats why there is a weird slanted background in some.
  I think I ended up with two thick coats of each and a coat or two of top coat to smooth it all out.  With my usual base + top coats.

Happy holo-ing,

$OPI Slushied and OPI Funky Dunkey

  I went college touring along parts of the east coast with my brother during spring break, so I needed a cute, solid manicure to last me the week.  It didn't last me, but it was still cute and solid.  I used Sephora by OPI Slushied (arguably my favorite blue creme) and OPI Funky Dunkey.  I love love love them both.



  It was a pretty nice accent mani if I do say so myself.  The blue and purple looked pretty good together.
  3 coats of each, decent application.  My usual base + top coats.  Niice!

Happy accenting,
Em

Sephora by OPI Slushied and Sally Hansen HD Spectrum

  So just to warn you, this is the mani that caused this fail.  This shimmer that WON'T GET OFF OF MY FLOOR!  Grr, lol.
Err, after shimmer?  Probably, even though I can't see it here.
There's that purple!


It works well with Slushied.
Just Slushied.

Just Slushied.
SEE IT?  SEE THE CULPRIT OF THE CRIME??? (I'm jk)
I <3 duochrome shimmers!
With and without Spectrum
:)

  I love love loved this manicure!  I got a lot of compliments on it too!  It was so pretty, purple and blue in some lights, pure teal in others.  It's a chameleon!
  Just so you know, I am not blaming the polish for my floor.  It was my own stupidity :P.

Happy shimmering,
Em
