Nicole by OPI Sealed with a Kris

Pin It A quick post for you guys. I have Nicole by OPI Sealed with a Kris from the Kardashian Collection in 2011. I loved rich cream nail polishes. Specially in red tones :) This one is just perfect with 2 coats. Again, I can't denied how hideous NOPI nail polish bottles are. It's been a while now I have bought any of them. I really hate their bottles and sometimes want to put the polish in another descent bottle so I can use it. I am planing on not ever buying NOPI just because of their saggy boob bottles. They don't sit well on my shelf, it's hard to hold on to it and it's hard to hold them for a picture. Anyways, the color that came from on of their bottles today is indeed beautiful though.
What's your opinions on NOPI nail polish bottles?

They sent me this beautiful cream tomato red that really surprised me. Moscow is a one coater. Yes, I said that all we need is a one single coat to reach full opacity. This is all I have on the pictures above : one single coat. It's a very pigmented red polish that is now one of my favorite polishes. All thumbs up for that red by Nailtiques. Application was flawless and effortless. For now I just have that color for you.

Their nail polish retail for $10 for a bottle of 1/3oz (pretty good size bottle).

Xmas Manicure - Color Club Red Velvet

Here I am again!

And with some Color Club! I reached this beautiful shimmery red to work on something. This is called Color Club Red Velvet. A bit hard to photograph but here you have it.

Then I grabbed some nail art strips I got from Ebay a while ago and decided to play with it. Plus I hand painted a xmas tree :) Yay for that. I really need to pratice more with dotting tools. I used a 3 different colors for the tree: some Color Club and ULTA. For the strips I will tell you this. That didn't stay long at all. I applied top coat over it but after a day that thing came all off peeling really bad. But oh well.

What do you guys think? And hey, what are you guys plans for tomorrow? Anything fun? Lots of yummy food? See ya soon :)

My Sinful Colors Xmas Collection

I love to see what some companies come up with as their whatever something Xmas Collection. I was staring at these colors and thought of creating my own Sinful Colors Xmas nail polish collection. lolololo

Stay tuned for my own xmas collection direct from my nail polish stash :)

 LAST CHANCE - it's a deep cream pine tree green. And OMG super glossy. On the pictures above yeah, NO TOP COAT added. If you follow my blog your know I always say Sinful Colors polishes are a hit or miss. That one is a total hit. It's a must have it. I used 2 coats  for that mani.

 ALL ABOUT YOU -  a really cool gold glitter with some orange/redish understones to it. It looks so festive to me and also very very similar to what we have seen being released lately for the Holidays by NOPI and China Glaze. There you have an affordable dupe for those I'm talking about.

 SAN FRANCISCO - is a green elf shimmer color. I used 2 coats and I'm pretty positive I could have used another coat for full coverage. It's pretty and xmas like. Oh I love Xmas :)

RUBY RUBY - is a Santa Claus hat jelly red. Yeah you heard right. I mean you read it right. This red has a jelly finish. Just 2 coats and there you have a super pretty mani.

PS PS PS PS PS : Just reminding you guys that this collection was pulled off by me and is not something Sinful Colors released as a Xmas Collection ok? I just did that for fun. Sometimes we feel tempted to buy a whole collection of polishes just cause the So So Company released that "cool" collection and we do enjoy to see all of those colors together being called as THE collection. However, sometimes we do not realize we already have something really cool and/or similar to what just came out. And I believe we can pull out some colors and make our very own collection whith what we already got. Don't you think? Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Now go to your nail polish stash and try pulling out your Xmas collection.

Monday Mani PaA - Fierce Accent

Phewww!

I know right? Busy past weeks with my trip, a baby shower I pulled off and then Thanksgiving and all. I thought of having automatic posts for you guys but I just did not have time whatsoever for it. No kidding! next time I'll try to plan on staying more active and not let my blog out to the flies.

But overall I had a blast in Arizona visiting my sister, my in-laws, a baby shower, visiting friends, eating at my favorite places, surprising my sista with a totally unexpected baby shower - it was sooo fun. I also got to meet the lovely Sarah Johnson, my polish friend that I met online in one of the groups I'm part of awhile ago. She is also in the Lacquered Me 11 Packages Birthday Club. It was sooo fun cause she got to give my package in person ( I'll let you guys know how the club is going in another post). It was so great to get to meet her in person and chat about polish and also what we enjoy besides polish. I just love meeting people in real life. It's like " they are real". Duhhh , I know. But I'm dork like that. Hey Sarah, I'm so glad we got to meet during my trip.

Anyways, I have been neglecting the Monday Manis really bad. I promise I'll fill up the past 2 Mondays I didn't do. For this Monday they came up with Fierce Accent. I pulled my stamping plate M64 for the accent. But oh man, I love that plate. I like all the designs on that plate and the one chose is definitely my favorite.

This is my take on the fierce accent challenge. I was going to do just the finger nail cause when I hear " accent nail" that's what comes to my mind. However I find  this mani to be very fierce and super elegant. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the base burgundy color by itself. Totally forgot. But that is RIMMEL Burgundy Flirt. I'll do a swatch later and come back posting here for you. It's such a pretty cream bloody red.

Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby

I find myself loving red polish on my fingernails now. I used to think that that color was just for a pedicure. But I guess we chane our minds and I find myself picking lots of red tones. I don't match my mani most of the time but I have to say I always try to. Having red on your nails it's a great color and classic that goes with anything. This is Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby, a cream almost jelly sirine red. Sinful Colors is not one of my favorite brands of polish. I know other people loooove it. With me it works this way: when a SC polish is bad then it's really bad. Formula, color, application, finish, everything. But when a SC is good it's a really good one. This one is GREAT!! Really really good. That is my usual 2 coats. I had a good color coverage on nails, the application was just great and I love the color of it!

Do you have this color? What's your opnion on Sinful Color polishes?

And again, what's your favorite picture as far as the angle? Do you like the first or second picture?
You guys have a warm Sunday. I know it's been cold and some of you already have snow. Not my case (just snow on the mountains) but it's cold here.

Halloween Series - Dripping Blood Mani

Wowww Friday goodness!!! Are you guys going to any Halloween party out there?

For my Halloween Series I have here a Dripping Blood Nail Art. I can not take credit for it. But I also do not know who to credit to cause I have seen this design all over the net. And here is my take. I think this is a super awesome mani for Halloween. Don't you? My husband hates blood and he always wants to see what I did on my nails. Guess his reaction on this one? lololo He paled out (does that expression exist?). He didn't like. But " yeah, it's cute". Ohhhh, evil laugh right now!

For this mani I used a dotting tool but you can use a tooth pick or any pointed object. A white polish and a vampy red polish. This is a video I found on youtube that shows how I did my nails. Except that you really need to be fast on doing the drips cause the polish will form blobs on the point of your dotting tool. Click HERE to see the video. It's really easy do do it!!

And if you are wondering what I used for my white here you have it. This is OPI Alpine Snow my second favorite white polish for painting my nails (I have favorites for stamping so that's why the difference). But anyways my favorite white polish for painting nails is Jordana White. But for this OPI I had a good experience too. I recommend.

OPI Red

How is it going lovelies?

OPI Red is what is happening on my nails. This is the red polish I used on last Monday Mani this week. I got a couple of emails of people asking for a swatch of it. Here it is. I just forgot to post.

I love this red. It's a bright sirine red with a very subtle shimmer to it that you can barely notice. It's super gorgeous. I got lots of compliments on this nail. Doesn't feel great when you put something that looks so good that get people attetion at the point to get them to speak up? I love it!

Monday Mani PaA - Candy

Now I am up to date with my Monday Manis posts. I have here for you guys my mani for the Candy challenge this week. I guess for today's challenge I was excited. As soon as I learned what the theme was  I can say something came to my mind. I wans't dreading like I did on some past manis. Anyways, I know Xmas is far away, well not that far. It's only 3 months away. Xmas is my favorite Holiday that I always look forward to it. I then thought of doing a Candy Cane Mani. I kinda like it the way it turned out. What do you think?  That really made me through my day as I didn't have a good night of sleep with my poor hubby coughing, tossing and turning. And yeah, I am sick :( A bummer. Plus still trying to hear from Southwest. Liek I told to you guys, I was out of town last weekend and on my way back they lost my bag. I don't think I have mentioned here about that. But finally I got my bag back. I was so depressed cause i had a little Manicure Party in Utah and all of my stamping (plates and stamper/scraper) was inside of my lost bag. You guys can't imagine how sad I was considering the possibility to never see my stuff again. But thank goodness they are here safe and sound. Such a relief! Without saying my clothes and shoes that I really loveeee!

But here you have it, my mani made with tape and stampingggggg. oh yes, stamping!!!!!!

Red Crackle

Crackle it is.

The wave of crackle polishes is still going and strong. I guess the crackles are here to stay.

This is the Cherry Smash from Sally Hansen Crackle overcoat.

I used Jordana White as my base coat and that beautiful bright red as my top coat. I find that to make the crackle polish crack more was to do strokes in different directions until I had the whole nail covered. You just need to be really quick cause this SH Crackle polish dries really fast.

I had some issues photographing this polish. My skin is orange on these pictures and the red is kinda orangish - which is not. Just weird. But in person this is a nice bright shade of red.

HAPPY 4th of JULY

Hey you, hope all of you guys are having a great 4th of July weekend!! I'm enjoying it a lot. Also I had to try a patriotic manicure for today right? Forgot to buy my 4th of July T-shirts from Walmart this year. lololo Yeah I think they are fun and you can always find a cute one for $2. No patriotic shirt but here is my holiday mani. I tried to get fancy but was so tired I decided to do something just on my ring finger and thumb. I used Essie, Pure Ice and Sally Hansen plus some tape and stamping. See details on the bottom. 

So what you think of my Uncle Sam nails? But anyways, I'll let you go back to your barbecue and enjoy your family and friends.

A bright RED

I absolutely love this bright red from NYC. I am starting to be a big fan of  NYC polishes. Their formula is great and the brush is super good and makes the application easy. I'm glad I stumbled on such a good and cheap brand of polish. For those who are on a budget this is a great choice. Trust me you will like them.
