Penny For A Thought

Today I have Shop Eighty4's Penny For a Thought, I got this polish for 5 bucks in my Black Friday frenzy, it is gorgeous, and I don't have anything like it, it is a rose/copper duo chrome with gold flakes in it, I paired it with Sephora by OPI A Color That Can't Be Tamed, another one of my $1.80 Big Lot buys, (the hubs is over all my "awesome" deals, lol!) because it is grayish greenish like a dollar bill, and I think they look awesome together in my funky french. ACTCBT is crazy thin, but didn't dry fast because of it, I don't think it would have ever dried if I had put as many coats on as I would've needed for it to be opaque, but it was under $2, and it was perfect for this. Penny was a little thick for me, I couldn't really see the flakies in the first coat, so I thinned it out, and application was great!

I used 2 coats of Sephora by OPI A Color That Can't Be Tamed, and 2 coats of Eighty4 Penny For A Thought, and then 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Happy New Year!!!

The holidays are super busy around here, and I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with Mini Me before she has to go back to school, so I apologize for the lack of posts, and that most of them are super short right now. Because I am not a huge black eyed pea fan, I decided to take a quick bite of the ones I made, and to put some on my accent nails for good measure! *;)
I also was super excited to get to use one of the Sephora by OPI glitters I got at Big Lots for $1.80! If you have a Big Lots by you, you should go see if they have any!

I used 2 coats of Mint Polish Pass the Scone for a base, and then 1 coat of Sephora by OPI Come to Pappa-razzi!, and Sephora by OPI Rumba Romance, and Salon Perfect's Black Ink Striper for the black eyed pea on my accent nail. Topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast top Coat.

Loaded Lacquer Skull Duo

Squee! I was so excited to get Loaded Lacquer's Skull Duo! The Duo consists of a "candy" mix with bright pastel glitters called Innocent Until Proven Guilty, and then a "pirate" mix with a richer, more royal, darker mix called Cave of Skulls, and both have tons of skulls, and came with an extra little bag of skulls if you need more for placement. I LOVE both of these polishes! I got plenty of glitter without trying very hard, and Loaded Lacquer's base is thick enough that the skulls lay pretty flat, but after a couple of coats of base coat they were fine.

I used 1 coat of Loaded Lacquer Innocent Until Proven Guilty over 2 coats of Salon Perfect Baby Blues, and 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

And here's 1 coat of Loaded Lacquer Cave of Skulls over 2 coats Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Swamp Thing, and 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. I can't even tell you guys how much I love Cave of Skulls, I keep staring at my fingers on this one, and I left both of these mani's on for a few days.

SPONGEBOB!

I really need to catch up on my posts, Mini Me's birthday is just a few days before Christmas, and we have family to our house on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, so the past week has been craaaazy! I did a simple, quick Spongebob mani for my daughters 5th birthday, I think it came out really cute! I did have to use like 5 coats of Salon Perfect Yowza Yellow though….

I used 5 coats of Salon Perfect Yowza Yellow, and 2 coats of China Glaze Pelican Gray on my accent nail, a couple of dotting tools with Sephora by OPI It's Totally Karma, and a pink star nail sticker, topped with China Glaze Travel in Colour, and topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Happy Holidays From Camp Crystal Lake!

Today is Saturday the 14th, which means yesterday was Friday the 13th! I watched a bit of the first one on HBO while I finished this up, but was too tired to watch all of it. I scooped up a Pretty Serious Crystal Lake in their Cyber Saturday amazing 40% off sale, and this was the perfect time to use it, I had to thin it a bit, but it's really cold so that is to be expected, and as usual it applied perfectly, and I wanted to try out my China Glaze There's Snow One Like You as well, it is a little finicky, and a little tough to deal with, but I got the desired effect, so I can't complain too much…..

I used 1 coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Lake over 2 coats of Salon Perfect Bermuda Baby, and China Glaze There's Snow One Like You for the drips, 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat before the drips.

Loaded Lacquer Mintallica!!!

I was so excited when Heather from Loaded Lacquer contacted me to review her new polish Mintallica! Honestly, I would be happy to have any of her polishes, they are PACKED with glitter, no need to fish, you'll get plenty on your brush on your first try. I always think they are so pretty online, and then I get them, and they are always so much prettier in person, and Mintallica was no different! It is a glitter bomb filled with matte mint dots and hex, gunmetal hex and holographic gunmetal in multi sizes, I love it, I can't stop looking at my nails! Application was great, I didn't thin it or mess with it at all! Mintallica will be available tonight at 7pm. central time on Loaded Lacquer's Website, and look for more reviews from me of this brand, they have quickly sky rocketed to the top of my favorites!

I used 1 coat of Loaded Lacquer Mintallica over 2 coats of OPI My Private Jet, with 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
