SinfulColors Kandee Johnson Colors

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

SinfulColors collaborated with Kandee Johnson for a new collection. I'm actually not sure how many polishes are in the collection because there are a few different parts to it: some only available at Meijer, some only at Walgreens, and so forth and so on. I saw the polishes at Meijer and these two caught my eye!

Licorice is a blackened green with a demi matte finish. This had a great formula and covered in 2 coats.

With topcoat. I much prefer this with topcoat :)

Kanfetti is a pastel glitter in a clear base. I applied a heavy coat on my ring finger, and a lighter coat on the other nails.

Have you spotted this collection yet? What do you think?

Round 33! Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

So last month's BTN was super late and this month's is super early, lol! We wanted to do something for the Super Bowl and were inspired by a post from Kelli Marissa (formerly the Nail Polish Challenge).

I used my trusty Zoya polishes again. They have the best colors and creme finishes for nail art! I also like to use the same brand for nail art, I know it's weird. And I have the most Zoya creme polishes, lol.

Willa (black)
Emilia (Brown)
Purity (White)
Hunter (Green)

Clearly I need a better detail brush and to practice straight lines, lol!! I also used the Pretty & Polished Wax topcoat to mattify this mani.

Are you a fan of the Super Bowl? I don't have a pony in this race but I'm rooting for the.... (insert team here that won't upset anyone) LOL!!

Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired By Pantone 2016

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I'm going to be very honest: I hate the pantone colors this year. Pastels are not my thing, especially pastel pinks, lol. But I sucked it up and grabbed two lovely colors from Zoya and did a very simple gradient/flakie combination!

Zoya Brittany is a pale pink putty color in a satin finish, and Kristen is the pale blue creme. I did a vertical gradient with these and topped them with Zoya's Maisie. The colors in the flakie don't really show up these lighter colors but it is still pretty!

Round 25: Bestie Twin Nails With The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose


Hey hey hey, it's time for another BTN with my buddy Alaina from The Little Canvas!

For this BTN, we chose a simple dotticure and striping tape mani, inspired by Nicole from Young Wild & Polished.

We went with mint and purple versus the brighter green and purple. I used three colors from Virtuous Polish (which is no longer open for business, unfortunately): Purity, Queen Ester, and Rahab. 

This is a pretty straightforward  manicure so I won't really go into too much detail: I used a dotting tool and some striping tape, lol. The polishes I used are matte polishes so a glossy topcoat was required. 

Be sure to check out Alaina's nails!

Nine Zero Roy G Biv Collection!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have the Nine Zero Lacquer Roy G Biv collection. This is a holo collection with a crelly, glitter, and a topper. So let's get to it! So I save a little bit of typing, I added topcoat to every swatch.

Refraction is a red holo. This is super bright red holographic! Like.. glowing bright. This was opaque in two coats.

Frequency is an orange holo. Another great formula, opaque in two coats!

Dispersion is a yellow holo and can I say HOLLLAAA!! I love yellow and they are rather difficult to formulate and this is just perfect. Opaque in 2 coats!

Spectrum is a green holo. Another great formula, opaque in two coats!

Wavelength is the blue, and obviously this is one of my favorites. I love this, and another perfect formula. 2 coats. AND I didn't have any staining with this one and I wore it for a few days!

Reflect is an indigo holographic. ANOTHER perfect formula, 2 coats.

Chromatic is a violet holographic. And can you guess the formula? Just about perfect, 2 coats.

Prism is a silver holographic microglitter with rainbow holographic glitter. This was technically not completely opaque in two coats but I only did two because the glitter is so holographic and sparkly that you couldn't see the small spots that weren't covered... except for the ring finger and in this picture, lol.

Double Rainbow is a white crelly with matte rainbow glitters. This was packed with glitter and super easy to apply. Opaque in two coats. Because there is so much glitter, this did need two coats of top coat to be completely smooth.

Kaleidoscope is a rainbow glitter topper and most normal people would put this over white so you can see all of the colors but I just really had it in my head to layer it over Spectrum. I should probably put a proper swatch of this up on instagram. Someone remind me to do that, lol!

So yeah, Jess is killing it as per usual. Her shop is on vacation mode right now but I highly recommend checking these out! Love love love!

Twinsie Tuesday: Marbling (Dry/Needle/Water)

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

An announcement before we get to this weeks Twinsie Tuesday post! I am changing my blogging schedule and will now be posting on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and posting videos on Mondays and Fridays. So if you don't see me posting on here on Monday's and Friday's, that is why :)

Today we are doing marbling of the dry, water, or needling sort. I hate marbling of all kinds because I am just wretched at it. But I had to try so here we go.

I used Love, Angeline Cosmo from the Let's Grab a Drink collection, no longer available. Whoops. This is a one coater and will dry matte. For the marbling, I made a decal using Cosmo and Glacier, also not available, whoops.

Then I dotted Glacier on my other nails and added a thick coat of topcoat. I'm actually more proud of my dots than my marbling, lol!

Brand Blast: Glam Polish Week!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

First, I want to apologize for my little nub index finger. The homey betrayed the family and she has no excuse.

It's time for another Brand Blast! This time, it's all about Glam Polish. Quickly becoming one of my favorite brands, they deliver stellar formulas and gorgeous colors!

Pop! is coral pink with a strong scattered holo. This was two perfect coats (which is very standard for Glam Polish. I don't think I own one GP that has needed more than 2 coats and the formula's are basically perfection!). Shown with topcoat.

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo is a matte pastel glitter ix of pink, teal, blue, and purple with assorted shapes and sizes. This was one coat over Pop!, with topcoat.

Respect is medium to dark purple with another strong scattered holo. Again, two perfect coats plus topcoat.

Favorite Nail Polishes of 2015: Day 2

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

And here's Day 2 of my favorite polishes of 2015! I forgot to mention yesterday but I didn't pick a specific number of polishes, just whatever I really loved. Not that it matters, but just so you know ;-)

Today's polish was immediately placed on the Favorites list the second I applied it. This is Love, Angeline Bourbon from the Let's Grab A Drink collection. Simply a stunning color, this is ONE COAT! Dead. Done. Dead. SO perfect.

BUT THEN!! You add topcoat and the golden shimmer completely comes alive and I cry a little due to its beauty!

This was one of my favorites from this collection because.... well, look at it! But all of the polishes that I have from this collection are stunning and I recommend any of them!

YOU GUYS! IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! I won't be posting tomorrow but we will resume Favorite Nail Polishes of 2015 on Monday!

Have a great weekend!

Stardust Beauty Matte Eraser

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have a little review of a new product from Stardust Polish, one of my favorite indie brands :) Drema is releasing a new matte lipstick remover and was kind enough to send it to me to try!

The Matte Eraser is made of organic vitamin E, coconut, and shea oil. It comes in a twist up pen with a brush tip. The product itself is unscented. I was expecting an oily gel type product but the product is thin and very comfortable. Personally, I don't love gel products on my lips or face; something about the texture just makes me feel grossed out, lol!! So I was glad that this wasn't a gel!

I wore several different colors to test this so let's take a look!

First, ColourPop Ultra Matte lippie in Beeper, a mid-tone taupey brown. This is my "oh wow. brown lipstick is rather odd on me" face, lol!!

Next I tried Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso, a bright red. I am incapable of taking normal pictures, I'm so sorry. This is more entertaining anyway!!

To use the Matte Eraser, I simply twisted the pen up until there was a a generous bead on the end and then applied the product to my lips. I used a tissue to wipe the lipstick off and then wiped the brush tip on a clean portion of the tissue.

And after! No more lipstick! Matte Eraser did a great job of removing all of the lipstick and it did not leave a greasy feeling on my lips! I call this a success!

The Matte Eraser will be on sale 12/18/15 at 7pm EST. It will retail for $5.50 plus shipping and handling. Be sure to follow Stardust Beauty (notice the name change..... ohhhh what sort of other things are coming from Drema??!) on Instagram and join the Facebook group!

Round 18 Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another Bestie Twin Nails with my buddy Alain from The Little Canvas. You know the drill: let's get to the good stuff. For this month, we were inspired by this post by Alonda Loves Polish.

I used my trusty Zoya's, starting with a base of Zoya Brittany from the Satin collection, which covered nicely in two coats. Then I striped Raven, added Tomoko in the middle and then zig zagged more Raven. Finally, I dotted and striped some Purity on for the accents. Slapped some matte top coat on and boom. BTN'd!

Whatchu think, gurrlll???

(I'm kinda of distracted and tired right now, lol!!!)

Brand Blast: Love, Angeline Week!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another Brand Blast, which is a week long feature of one of my favorites brands. This week, we are looking at Love, Angeline. Her Harmonious Gemstones are seriously gorgeous and this week, I have some polishes from her Let's Grab a Drink collection, a collection of matte shimmers. Guys. STUNNING. Each polish was more beautiful than the next. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

The first polish is Shandy, a golden yellow matte polish with gold shimmer.  I used two coats here but it was very very very close to being opaque in 1 coat.

Without topcoat:

With Topcoat:

Ummm yeah. In love. Have you tried Love, Angeline before? What are your favorite polishes from her brand?

Salon Perfect Flower Manicure

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a simple little flower manicure using some of the polishes that I won from a recent Nail Glossip from Salon Perfect!

I used Traffic Cone as my base, two coats. As a neon, it dried matte. Then I picked out the bar glitters and circle glitters to make the flower and flower "foliage". I'd love to tell you the name of this polish but there is no label on the bottom. (EDIT: Duh Amanda, google. It's called Spider Legs!) This took some time but it wasn't anything outrageous. I added two coats of topcoat and called it good.

What do you think? I like it!
