Sweet as Candy!

A lot of things are sweet. Candy, for example! But It's also SWEET when you kill a lemming. 
For a loooong time, I wanted needed Deborah Lippmann's "Glitter In The Air".  But GITA is expensive. Like all other Lippmann polishes.
But Revlon came out with a dupe! yay Revlon! It's called "Whimsical".

By itself, it's very sheer. So, I decided to layer it on top of other polishes!
It really muted the brightness of the colors, and everything looked super sweet!



Two coats of "Whimsical" over China Glaze "Dress Me Up", Avon's "Orange Creamsicle" and "Loving Lavender", KleanColor "Pastel Teal", and Color Club "Electro Candy"


Direct Sunlight



It's a very spring-y mani and sure is cute!


For the other hand, I wanted it to stand out, but not be too different.
So I used the same colors in the same order and just used a different polish over it.

I used China Glaze "Luxe and Lush" from the Hunger Games collection, which is a great flakie!



Indirect sunlight gives it a sparkle!


 And just to show how they compare....
 
Now for ALL the fingers!





On my ring finger with "Whimsical" on it, I added a coat of Essie "Shine Of The Times", however I don't like it all too much..


I think I like the purple, or the pink the best! What about you?


That's all for now!<3

The Hunger Games

So The Hunger Games trilogy has gained a lot of popularity ever since the movie came out.
But I knew about it first! And no one would listen to my recommendations.
But now everyone knows about it....

Well, China Glaze came out with a Hunger Games collex.
Which I got from my SO. Lovely!
First, the nails.


From the movie that premiered this year, Effie Trinket's reaping day nails! She's really just how I imagined her to be.  The nails Effie had were a magenta/purple colour and had a gold gradient

I hate trying to get purple accurate..


This picture is MOST colour-accurate.


Now, on my other hand my inspiration was taken from the cover of The Hunger Games.



My lines are all wonky. ):

And my thumb was the title of the book.



I actually attempted the Mockingjay design, but decided to leave it for another time.


Now for the collection!

Here we have from L to R: Harvest Moon (D9 Grains), Mahogany Magic (D7 Lumber), Foie Gras (D10 Livestock), Agro (D1Agriculture), Smoke and Ashes (D12 Mining), and Stone Cold (D2 Masonry)

The second part from L to R: Electrify (D5 Power), Hook and Line (D4 Fishing), Fast Track (D6 Transportation), Dress Me Up (D8 Textiles), Riveting (D3 Technology), Luxe and Lush (D1 Luxury)

All of these polishes are super pretty, but I think I like Agro the most!  

That's all for now! <3

JDM and Fixies : Part DOS

So, I split this in two. 
It seemed like a lot of pictures for one post. I don't like that.
SO Here's part two, the Fixies:


This post is MUCH shorter.
A pink and yellow fixie!
Because his fixie just happens to be pink/yellow.

Like pink lemonade! Mmm yummy...

My pinky has a cog on it.
Which is basically a gear. Well, it looks like one.


Yaaay, sunny picture! (:

That's all for now<3

JDM and Fixies: Part UNO

Painting nails. A girl's hobby. Generally.
But what about guys? They like cars and stuff, right?
Well, I had a special request to do my nails on JDM and fixies. Actually, there was a mention of skating and mustaches too, but I decided against those.  In case you didn't knooooow, JDM is basically car stuff. Stands for Japanese Domestic Market. I think.  And fixies are just fixed-gear bikes. Google this stuff!
So, here's my JDM and fixie mani.

First off, the JDM hand.

"JDM baby <3"


 This is the JDM badge.




Yes, that is a Honda sign thing. 'Twas requested!




Sunny pictures always make me happy!


Part 2 up next! <3

A date and a HAUL!

Hey guys! Yesterday, I had such a fun day!
I hung out at the malls near me, and wasn't really planning on buying nail polish, but it just ended up happening. It was inevitable. I did limit myself though, cos I wasn't paying for any of it with my own money. Shhh!
So I spent 5 hours, and ended up with ONLY 17 nail polishes.
ONLY.


First off, my Butter Londons: The Black Knight, Trout Pout, and No More Waity, Katie
The red was free when I bought two! It doesn't seem to have a name.


 Two Claire's magnetic polishes, which the bf picked out for me!


 Next, two icing polishes: Blue Ice and After Party



From Sephora, my $OPIs: Read My Palm, Stop Stocking Me!, and a matte top coat.


 From Ulta, Layla holo polish! I only picked one, because they were almost $16 a bottle. ):

 Orly Space Cadet!
You do not know how excited I was when I found this beauty!

 Nyx girls Moonwalk and Under the Moon

 Zoya Opal!
I was looking for Maisie and Chloe too, but they were gone! ):

yummy(:



 A bottle of Seche, finally!

And this is what my collection looks like now:


154-ish usable polishes!


I didn't pay for ANY of those 17 polishes I got. They were all paid for by the boyfriend!

That's all for now<3
