Time For Another Baddie But Goodie!

So while my normal camera was being a pain and didn't have batteries, I was using my phone to take photos. My phone does have a macro setting so I don't get the worst pictures but they aren't great enough to make a blog post with them.

Well here are those pictures! Polish is goodie, horrible pictures on my part, baddie.

2 Coats Sinful Colors Black on Black and 2 coats of Jesse's Girl Confetti on top

3 coats of China Glaze Fast Track

My Thanksgiving mani: 2 coats of Piggy Polish- Baby, It's Gold Outside (on index, middle and pinky) and 3 coats of China Glaze I Herd That (on ring finger)

2 coats of OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest

3 coats of Maybelline Color Show-Downtown Brown

I believe that's all I have for now!

Sinful Colors Cinderella & Sephora by OPI Natural Environ-ment

This is a quick post since I didn't get the greatest pictures of my mani yesterday. I painted them last night and the lighting in my house isn't the best for these pictures.

Anyway, here's my mani:

On my index and ring finger: 2 coats of Sephora by OPI Natural Environ-ment with 3 coats of Sinful Colors Cinderella.
On my middle and pinky finger: 3 coats of Sinful Colors Cinderella.

The formula with these two are totally different. Cinderella is a bit runny and very sheer. I love the color so I'll just live with the formula. Natural Environ-ment is kind of thick and a bit streaky. Two to three coats fixes it though.

I thought Natural Environ-ment was a good color for a base coat for this. What do you think? What's your opinion of Cinderella?

Sinful Colors- Zeus

Hi Everyone!

I decided to make a quick post about Sinful Colors Zeus before I headed to bed. I'm having company over later today (Sunday) so I didn't know if I would have the time to post this so I just went ahead and decided to post it early. :)

Sinful Colors Zeus is a sort of dusty purple with a pink/purple shimmer. This was part of the Cast Away collection I believe. I love Sinful Colors. They are pretty cheap ($1.99 or even cheaper if you find them on sale) and they wear just as long, if not longer, than some of the big name brands. With this mani I used China Glaze base coat, 2 coats of Zeus and Orly topcoat.

 Indoors under fluorescent light.

With flash on.

You could possibly still find this color in stores along with their permanent and current collections.

Thanks for reading!

Baddie but Goodie

So, I think I'm going to make a new trend on my blog called "Baddie but Goodie" (let me know if you've seen this on another blog by this name; I'll change it). It's bad photos of good nail polish. I get LOTS of those and I don't even realize it until I've scrubbed off the polish. Boo!

Colors are true to the bottle, I just take crappy photos sometimes.

Here we go!

This is 2 coats of China Glaze Full Spectrum. It's a silver/purple duochrome with loads of multi-colored glitter. I like the color, but it's a little too busy for me. (Ignore the gross finger)

China Glaze Strawberry Fields with Nubar 2010 on top. 2 coats of Strawberry Fields and one coat of Nubar 2010. Strawberry Fields is a medium pink with lots of gold shimmer. Nubar 2010 is a clear flake polish. I LOVE both these colors. 

4 coats of Sinful Colors Let Me Go. A purple/pink that flashes silver and light blue. I love the polish, but it's just so sheer!

2 coats of Spoiled (by Wet N' Wild) I'm So Jaded. Neon green with gold shimmer.

By the way, Spoiled polishes have a bit of a wide brush. While some people don't like the wide brush, I actually really like it. It takes less time to paint my nails and I don't have as much clean up to do afterwards.

Halloween Nail Fail?

So, I'm not sure if I want to call this a fail or not. I did like it when I tested the colors out, but then when I put them on my nails, it kind of went downhill from there. I guess you can decide for yourself about it!

This is 4 coats of Wet N' Wild's 9.0.2.1. Orange and 2 coats of Sinful Colors Call You Later. I like Call You Later by itself, I just don't think it works too well with this. No top coat because I took the polish off soon after.

It reminded me of a pumpkin patch when trying it out, but then it turned into "blah" if you get me.
