A polish suited for a princess with a matching name to boot!

When I saw this polish in Riteaid, I walked by it and was like meh, another blue polish.. But then I picked it up and saw flecks of rose gold. I knew I had to get it, also it was 1.99 so who could resist?
 

Cinderella by Sinful Colors!! Great name and amazing price!

Gorgeous pinkish flecks!

It has little pinkish flecks in it, that when caught in the light are so beautiful! I am so glad I did not pass on this one! I actually went through my entire collection( hitting 300 soon!!) and I did not have a color anywhere near this pretty. Only one blue that came close, and it was a light creme blue. 

But that's it for now! Ill catch you guys later!

Elegance Renee

In honor of Zoya Renee being an IT color this year again (Erika informed me it is in the latest issue of InStyle) -it was the IT color back in 2009 when neons first made their big return- I have it to show you all another time, but this time I have another Renee polish to show you! 

This is another vintage polish (I'm going to continue to have plenty for you!), a pretty dark olive green with gold shimmer. It was just in my drawer at my mother's house, I don't even know where this one came from! My mom probably got it somewhere and saved it for me since my name is Renee. The color's name is Renee, (duh lol) and it is either numbered 60 (or 69, I can't tell, the label is VERY faded) and it says Cassandra Cosmetics, Bohemia NY 11716. Anyone ever heard of this brand? It looks very 80s-early 90s.

Something different and not quite me!

I am so not a neon color type of girl, I tend to stay away from bright neon colors. Orange cone nail polish..Yeah I'll pass. But I bought the roller girl set from Urban Decay a while back and it comes with Woodstock, this intense hot pink color that you can see from a mile away. It set in my nail polish travel case for a while before I said, "ah what the hell, lets give it a go!"

I loved how shocking it was, but It just felt like something was missing so I broke out the konad (actually the faux Konad) and printed multiple butterflies on each nail. Now I have to state the butterfly is the only design I have mastered..OH KONAD WHY YOU SO HARD FOR ME!

And after two generous coats of seche vite, because I'm not to crazy about the matte look that neon colors decide to be, and a splotch of glitter (OPI for Sephora, Its bouquet with me) I was pleased with the results! I think this is a nice push for me to be more adventurous. If anyone is curious I used plain old white for the butterflies, but with the seche it kind of faded off. But that is it for now, time for bed!

Long due post!

Sorry about my lack of posts! Its been quite crazy at the house I nanny for and getting on the net (Renee knows) has been a pain. But I am back! And here are a few nail looks that I have done these past weeks:

The first nails are Nailtini color in Stinger, a gorgeous duochrome that goes from teal to purple in the light. With an Inglot Flakie on top. Love this look! I am sporting it right now!

 

This look is from a few weeks ago, it is sand and stilettos from Funky Fingers topped with Crushed Candy from China Glaze. A very fun look!

 

And what Gina, one of the girls I nanny for, calls Cinderella nails. It is just clear nail polish with sky blue microglitter topped with 2 layers of gel topcoat.

 Sorry again for the disappearance! I promise I will be here to bug you with lots of nail posts!

Tata for now!

Essie Porcini

I got this and two other Essies with Julie when we went to have our nails done back in March. We tried a new salon by her house, which was pretty decent, and they had some discontinued polishes for $2. There weren't that many good colors, but at least we got a few things. This color is a pretty dusty pink with gold shimmer. It is semi sheer, perfect opacity at three coats.

Funky Fingers Monster Ballad

A new foil! I *heart* foils- if you didn't know already ^^ Erika gave me this as a present. It's part of Funky Fingers' heavy metal collection, a GORGEOUS vibrant pink foil with silver shimmer. At first I didn't think the silver shimmer was going to show on the nail, but I'm so happy it did! It's such a beautiful, vibrant color, instant love! Opaque in one coat, but I used two for good measure, good dry time.

Speaking of foils, I have an old WnW foil that one of these days I am going to get around to posting. It's called White Gold, (basically a silver foil) and it's about 8-10 years old..give or take, in those square bottles they used to have. I used to have it in gold too, but I mistakenly tossed it before I discovered np thinner.. and I really regret it :( If any of you know what I am talking about, I am willing to trade good for it (and Maybelline Snow Globe.. sigh) but that's a post for another day.

Anyway, enjoy!

BYS Color Change Bright Purple

This is one of the two BYS color changing polishes I nabbed over the summer before they got sold out. I think Erika might have gotten one too, but I'm not sure!

This is really cool. It doesn't change from sunlight like the Del Sol polishes do, but rather from heat, so you get a really cool ombre look when you go into the cold or air conditioning :)

The color is named Bright Purple, and it changes from a deep but bright purple to a fuchsia pink with a subtle shimmer. It has a semi-matte finish (just as neon colors usually do) so for those of you who are like me, a topcoat will fix that ^_~ This is three coats, it is kind of sheer o if you don't want visible nail lines, I'd recommend an opaque base coat or a coat of white nail polish first :)
