Cirque Coronation
Tuesday, November 26, 2013

When Frosso and I went to the Renegade Craft Fair the other day, there was one specific polish I knew I would be walking away from the Cirque booth with. That polish was Cirque Coronation. I'm calling it now people! This is a must have! Seeing as it's limited edition, you might want to hurry and order yours now. Purchase of this polish also gets you a LE Jeannie Vianney rose gold plated lace ring. The ring is adjustable so it fits most fingers and it is also GORGEOUS!
Coronation is a royal purple jelly filled with copper shimmer and the occasional holographic flash. My GAWD this is freaking beautiful. I love this polish and I love the ring. I am so happy that I managed to get my hands on this set.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Glam Spiderwebs

Recently I got my greedy polish loving hands on the OPI Miss Universe Trio. I was in love with the Silver polish that dries with a satin finish. GORG!! Plus the other two shades are unique in my collection. I don't have anything else like them.
So once they arrived, I knew I wanted to do a fun Halloween look with the three of them. First I applied a base of OPI I'm Feeling Sashy, a beautiful dusty light purple.

Next using I'm Feeling Sashy and Miss You-ninverse, a dark eggplant purple, to create a gradient over all my nails. I love a pretty gradient, but why do they have to be so freaking hard to clean-up?
Finally, on my thumb and ring finger, I freehanded some spiderwebs with This Gown Needs a Crown, a beautiful silver metallic that dries to a Satin Finish. I hope they make a gold with this finish. :-)
I have two more Halloween designs that I need to get on the blog before the holiday! Wish me luck.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Purple Graffiti Look using Maybelline Color Show Clearly Spotted
Tuesday, August 6, 2013

Well, I've been putting off on posting these, just because my nails are so super tiny! I honestly can't remember my nails ever being so short. Packing up took a toll on my hands causing some breaks, so I had to cut them short. Like super short. I call them Shorty McShort Shorts.
Look how freaking tiny they are!!! The tips of my fingers are all "where are our hats?" I'll stop complaining about how short they are now.
I created this look using China Glaze's That's Shore Bright, a neon purple from their summer line. I topped it with Maybelline Color Show's Clearly Spotted. This topper is awesome. Great coverage and it gives a fun graffiti look to any manicure.
I'd thought about buying some of the other colors from the Polka Dots line, but they are all basically jelly sandwiches in a bottle, and I have jelly polishes in those colors already, so I can recreate them on my own.
What do you think of my Shorty McShort Shorts nails?

Holographic Gradient

So since I got my hands on the Color Club Halo Hues, I haven't been able to leave them alone. I wanted to do a fun gradient with them. You might have seen the super sparkely preview of them on Facebook. I decided to use the blue (Over the Moon) and the purple (Eternal Beauty).
I don't know about you all, but I love this gradient. I couldn't stop staring at my fingers when I was outside. I even dragged the boyfriend out into the sun to stare at it a few times. He wasn't as pumped as I was.
Which colors from the collection should I do as a gradient next?

Euro Centrale Skittle

Today, I have a fun skittles look using 4 of the polishes from OPI's recent Euro Centrale collection. It all started because I wanted to use Polka.com the glitter topper, and I wanted colors that matched the glitter. Naturally 3 of the colors from the collection matched perfectly.
On my thumb I have Suzi's Hungary Again, pointer You're Such a Budapest, pinkie Can't Find My Czechbook. On my middle and ring finer I layered the three colors together, then layered Polka.com over the ring finger.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday.
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

Sherbet with a Twist
Monday, July 1, 2013

Hi Ya'll! I'm sorry for the inconsistent posting last week, but I was out of town. It's going to be just as crazy this week, because I'm traveling out of town, again, for the holiday.
Today I have a trio of Julep polishes. I bought these in the recent Julep Warehouse sale, which was exciting because it was a great way for me to try out a new brand without a huge investment. This trio is called Sherbet with a Twist.
Up first we have Charlotte, a very pretty dusty purple creme. I love the way this polish looks. I wore 3 coats here, the polish applied easily, and dried very shiny.
Next we have Lauren. This bright pink is more jelly than creme. I've got 3 coats on here and you can still see visible nail line. Next time I'll wear this over white and it will be freaking awesome.
This polish, Parker, was my least favorite of the three. Online it looked like this delicious yellow, I got it and it was like honey mustard and orange had a baby. I wore it for a few days, so the wear time is good. The formula was great, easy to apply, and dries very shiny. My only complaint was the color.
Which color is your favorite? Did you take advantage of Julep's big sale?
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

Versailles Romance Art
Thursday, June 13, 2013

After swatching the L'Oreal Versailles Romance collection (see swatches here and here), I decided to end with some nail art featuring all the polishes. I wanted to do something simple that showed off all the colors.
I started with a base of Creme Puffs, and then freehanded triangles of Royally Yours, The Palace Life, Macaroon Madly, Pistachio Dream, and Lacey Lilac. I tried to leave strips of Creme Puffs in between each triangle.
I feel like they ended up looking like strange easter eggs on my fingers. What do you think? Next time I try something similar, I want more contrasting colors and striping tape involved.
What do you think of this look?
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

Versailles Romance Collection: Part 1
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
6/11/2013 10:44:00 AM
Today I have for you 3 of the 6 polishes from L'Oreal's Versailles Romance Collection. This was a spring collection for L'Oreal and I was lucky to find all 6 on sale at Target recently. I'd coveted this collection but didn't go for it until they were on sale. Hopefully if you like this collection you can still find them.
This collection consists of 6 pastel shades, 4 cremes and 2 cremes with golden shimmer in them.
Up first is Creme Puffs. This a pale yellow filled with a golden shimmer. The shimmer is not very visible in my photos, which is sad, but trust me it's there. You are looking at 3 thin coats here. This polish applies easily and was great to wear.
Next up we have Lacey Lilac. This is a beautiful mid-toned pale purple creme polish. Here I'm wearing 2 thin coats.
Finally we have Royally Yours. This is a pale light blue creme. Here I'm wearing 3 thin coats.
Overall, I really like the colors from this collection. It really filled a gap in my polish collection as I really tend to spring for bright bold colors and didn't have many of the pastel spring colors. My favorite part of L'Oreal polishes though is their brushes. They have the best brushes, perfectly tapered to create a perfect streak of polish on the nail.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for the second half of the collection.
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Swatches: Part 2
Thursday, June 6, 2013
6/06/2013 01:30:00 PM
The other day on Facebook (have you liked my page yet?) I showed you that I have no self control. When I stumbled on a Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat display at Walmart and this one had all the colors including the two I didn't have, well you know what happened. Of course they came home with me.
So today, I'm going to show you Tight Knit and All Yarned Up. As in the first post, which you can view here I've shown the polish over polish undies on my thumb, ring, and pinky fingers. On my pointer and middle fingers you'll see three coats of the polish built up.
All Yarned Up is made up of periwinkle, yellow, and peach matte bar glitters. I've layered it over Essie Nice is Nice.
Tight Knit is made up of royal blue and white matte bar glitters. I've layered it over Essie First Timer.
So what do you think of these colors? Do you have a new favorite? I do!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
