Another reason why you NEED Barielle Elle's Spell

Hey guys! So I know that maybe some of you are wondering why of been doing so many different looks with the same polishes. And well the answer is simple...because these polishes are so versatile. I'm just doing them justice. So I've shown you a bunch of different looks for Barielle Elle's Spell as to layering combo's and if your still not sold on it...
Well you will be after you see these pics.




Mmmmhm! What did I tell you? How awesome is that? I first saw this look on Makeup Withdrawal's blog and immediately knew that I was going to get my moneys worth out of Elle's Spell. I mean how many different looks can you make with this beast?
Does this remind you a bit of Nfu-oh 51? Maybe I should do a comparison when that finally makes it into my hands.
Also, is the flakie polish craze over? Cuz for me its just begun...I mean like I want every possible color flakie there is. Anyway, I hope you liked my combo...Oh yeah before I forget for the base color...its not very important because its a Seventeen polish which I know is hard to find but basically every polish company has a color like this out..its just a vibrant deep purple. So yeah thats about it.

So are you still into the Flakie thing?...leave your comments down below. Cant wait to hear from you guys!

Zoya Anastasia

Hey guys! Whats up? Sooo, I've been on and off with the posting and that upsets me but please bare with me. So today I have a pure beauty for you all. Get ready to feast your eyes one of my beloved Zoya babies. My few but cherished ones.




I was not kidding. Zoya Anastasia is a deep Brown with what zoya calls strong "Purple undertones, golden Plum duochrome, and heavy Gold microglitter." I couldn't agree more! Definitely a brown color, but the golden glitter is strong, and the plum douchrome is always noticeable at every angle. I got a close up shot so you can see how packed with glitter it is.


You know I'm really so pleased with the polishes I got from Zoya, so I need get a few more polishes and make my collection bigger. In the short period of time I've owned these I have been complimented so much on my choice in polishes and I know its because these are truly special polishes. These pictures here are two coats. I wouldn't call this a one-coater because you would definitely need two to just even it out. Application was relatively easy and the formula on this polish was really good. Overall, I'm sold on this.

If your interested in trying out a Zoya polish for the first time or just want to add more to your collection you can click HERE and make an account and you will automatically receive a free polish to your account. Amazing right!

Orly Ingenue and Orly Night Owl; Swatches and Review

Hey guys! Today, I want to show you the two polishes from Orly that I got in my recent haul. Btw, if your wondering most of the polishes I purchased were bought from Transdesign. Honestly, they are amazing...I mean they dont have the biggest range of polishes but you'll more than likely find what your looking for. And they sell at like half the prices of other stores. Oh and Heads up; these are pics of my left hand so my nails are a bit shorter. Anyway, so here they are!


Orly Night Owl...Finally in my posession! This amazing putty brown with amazing silver microshimmer has been on my wishlist since forever. And my oh my has it been worth the wait! It has a definite earthy feel to it and I feel vegan when I'm wearing it...How weird right? lol. Its the most flattering polish on my skintone that I have ever owned. It brings subtleness and a bit of sass to the equation and I simply cant wait until wintertime to wear this non-stop! Its formula was amazing. Applied perfectly within two coats. And I dont even feel like it needed a topcoat just because it had enough shine on its own. AMAZING!



Orly Ingenue...Another biggy on my wishlist. J'adore! Ingenue is a duochrome shimmer polish that flips between copper and purple at the slightest hand shift. Application was totally easy being perfect at two coats and the formula was great to for a completely shimmery polish. I loved looking at this on my hands and everybody complimented me while wearing this. Its a screamer...I can tell you that. You will definitely get noticed while wearing this...thats for sure! Love, love, love!

Hope you liked these pictures. And enter my Pre-100 Follower Giveaway if youd like to win some pretty nice polishes, Peace!

Color Club: The Holographic Edition

Hey girly girls! So I've really been feeling in the mood for collages. I dont know why lol! Anyway and I was looking through my stash today and felt like I didn't do some of my Color Club holographic polishes justice before when I pictured them. I decided I would give it another try and hopefully this will do it. This post will mostly be pictures... Yaay for pictures!!




Color Club Wild at Heart from the 2009 Wild at Heart Collection. Amazing deep purple linear holographic polish. Holographic-ness alot stronger in real life than pictures!




Color Club Worth The Risque from their Femme Fatale Spring 2009 Collection. Silver Linear Holographic...way more amazing in person!



Color Club Fashion Addict from their Catwalk Queen Collection. A lavender linear holographic polish although lacking in holographic-ness and doesn't look better than this in real life. This is I think the least holographic polish out of all of them. Still beautiful though its extremely dull inside.



Color Club Revvvolution also from the Femme Fatale Collection. A dark charcoal based black linear holographic polish that shines soooo much more holographic in real life.!

All in all these polishes are a definite staple in my collection. I'm glad that I found them all because I would much rather have these strong holographic polishes than spend 17-20$ on some other polishes like Layla which might have slightly more holo-ness to them. Nah, I'm satisfied with these.
Anywho, I hope you've enjoyed these as much as I have... Love, love!

LCN MultiChrome Polish

Hey everyone! Today I have a a really strange polish to show you. Its an amazing polish that literally looks like a rainbow. I just stare at it forever in the bottle. Enough talking...right, I'm sure you want to see this precious. Precious I tell you! Translation onto the nail...Well see for yourself!






So as you can see although in the bottle there is Mardi Gras Green, purple, gold, pink, and blue. On the nail however, there is only three different colors: green, purple, and blue. So technically its still multichrome...just not as spectacular as in the bottle. This upsets me, but what can you do? This is also sad because this LCN 169 contains DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde. I dont usually care if polishes contain that but for some reason I was pretty upset when I saw all the stuff this had in it. But it was so easy to apply. Formula was perfect...and it took three coats but it dried really fast. So thats pretty good. But still translation onto the nail wasn't impressive at all. So thats all for now!
Oh yeah and enter my Pre-100 Follower Giveaway if you still haven't my dears!!

Wild at Heart

Hey everyone! Hows it been? I've been away for so long and I hate it so I'm gonna show you a color I purchased a little while ago that I adore. Color Club Wild at Heart. I know you can find this practically everywhere on the web but I still want to show you mine. Right now I'm in the process of purchasing a lot of nail polishes since my brother are coming visit so they can bring it with them...Score! And although I dont have the biggest nail polish collection I hate it when I find colors that are close to mine. Any suggestions on something I just have to try? Anyway heres Wild at Heart.







Color Club Wild at Heart is a deep purple holographic polish. It is so holographic but my camera isn't good at capturing polishes like this. The third pictures is the closest at how it really is even though its a tad bit more in person. I absolutely adore this color and I'm so happy I found it. Because its so saturated you can easily use it to stamp designs and you'll still get that soft holo-y look. I definitely recommend!

Pink Valentines Day Cloud Mani

Hey everyone, Hows it goin? So I'm sure you all know Nailside, she has a very helpful blog about nails and nail art...if you'd like, check it out here. I decided to do a Valentines day Cloud Manicure but I did it a little differently than her original one. I didn't feel right doing the same thing =]. So this is was my first attempt and this is how it came out.




This is my final valentine's day manicure for the year. If you'd like to check out my other posts just take a look at my blog page. For this design I used a purple background color and painted on the cloud design with  just a regular pink color and then the final cloud and dots were painted with a metallic pink color. So hurry on up and get your nails did for Valentine's!

Sparkly Holographic Pretties with Fashion Addict

Hey everyone! I want to welcome all the new members to my blog! And today I have a pretty pretty nail polish to show you... It's Color Club's Fashion Addict. Now, I did swatch Worth the Risque which is a silver holographic in my first post so if your interested in that just check it out here I really love how this polish came out...its super adorable and softens features.


Color Club Fashion Addict



Alright now this is my honest review of it. I didn't see holograph per se, but its filled with tiny speckle like holographic sparkles which gives the sparkliest shine in the sun...it's breathtaking. It really reminds me of the movie Twilight when Edward goes out into the sun and reveals his chest of sparkling diamonds and takes Bella's breath away...Yeah you know what I mean! Btw, its not like I'm some crazy Twilight maniac but I'm pretty sure everyone and their mama has seen the movie so the comparision seems acceptable. Also, this is a lilac-y grey color. Inside my house it felt grey...with a shimmer of lilac. Obviously in the sun it's a lilac purple.

So there you have it. Color Club's Fashion Addict. I love it and I'm gonna wear it when I wanna feel pretty because it really is a feel good color! Have a great day!

Random Colored nail polishes

Hey! So, i have a really cool mani that i wanna show you guys but im waiting for something and then Boy...am I gonna show you! hehe. Anyway, so before that i want to just share some recent nail polishes that i got with you guys. I think there awesome!


Essence Colour & Go Where Is The Party?

This is Essence Colour & Go in Where Is The Party? Its an awesome duochrome that flashes between purple and green as you can see in the second picture. Its a really weird color, and some people might not like it but i think its pretty amazing. The brush is small because the bottle is super small like i dont know if the whole collection is small but all of the Colour & Go's that i found were mini so maybe. Like this is only 5 mL where most other nail polishes are an average of 10 mL. So you get the idea.
Anyway, this was also kind of streaky which upset me. Also, it was rather bubble which is weird because i applied this just as i do any other nail polish but for some reason it came out sort of bubble on some fingers.


So that's that. I think its cool, also pretty much there whole collection was amazing. I only got three but i think i'm gonna get some more.

On to the next this is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Shrimply Devine



Ok so thats super close up...hehe. Anyway its a awesome corally shrimp color pretty much as the name says. Its suppper suppppper pretty. I love it. Its no too pink or too orangey which is cool. And its a very flattering color. Dont be deceived by the color it really shows up beautifully. I dont know, sometimes Sally Hansen nail polish brushes annoy me. And then sometimes they are so efficient and they make applying nail polish that much easier. This was one of those times. I finished my application with like literally one swipe. How awesome is that?
Dont you just love it when a nail polish actually applies itself? God knows i do!

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

Hey everyone...so it's been a while since i've posted anything but hopefully now i'll get back to what really matters...nail polish! I actually just got back from vacation and boyyyyy was it the craziest vacation i've ever gone on. There was everything from amazing african dancing, shopping, a fight, and even a fire! By far the craziest i've ever been on. So i got some pretty amazing nail polishes if i do say so myself. Unfortunately, only the last day did i find an amazing store that sells crazy kinds of nail polishes (crazy expensive as well), but honestly i didn't get anything cuz i had already gone a little shopping bananza at VS...anyway, maybe next time. Oh yeah, it was Dubai that i went to. So on to the nail polish...this is Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia. And while i wanted the whole expressionists nail collection this was the only one i managed to find and im not gonna lie it made my day. Its such a beautiful color...see for yourself.

Ok, this is three coats of Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and in the beginning, like the first coat is almost this sheer dark gray base with purple glitter in different sizes and shapes. The glitter comes in a hexagon shape and smaller glitter and a bit of shimmer as well. I hate sheer nail polish...and this would have been kind of sheer if it was left with one coat so i did another. But mainly the reason why i did a third was not because it needed, this is mostly a two coater, i did a third cuz i wanted like some serious glitter. And thats what i got. By the way, this is without topcoat.


Revlon Facets of Fuchsia
This is in slightly different lighting. By the second coat you get this wonderful purple glitter in a blackened base. Its uhh-may-zing!! I think this color suits pretty much all skin colors, because it combines dark (the black base) and bright (the fuchsia glitter). Also, i hear that this is pretty much a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance. I've seen the pictures only and from that i would say it's pretty darn close.


This picture is with flash and it  kinds show some tipwear but thats because i was only able to take this picture like two days after i originally put it on and i had no topcoat on as well.

So, i hope this was helpful if anyone was considering buying this or something close to it, its an awesome color and every girl should have it. It's flirty yet it makes a statement...it has a personality!!
