Cant wait to try that baby out. And I also came home to Pretty and Polished Sand Art that I purchased off of Llarowe when she first launched P & P. Its abasolutly beautiful, defiantly going to have to try it out tomorrow!!!

You dont even know how excited I am for Sand Art!!! Now to deicde what to layer it over tomorrow, white, blue or black??? Hmmm the posibilites hehe.

So as promised yesturday today I ahve the Hits Phenomena collection. I started out with 2 caots of Orly Liquid Vinyl and then did 2 coats of each of the Hits Phenomena Colors. On my left have I used Borealis on my ring and middle finger and Moonbow on my thumb, pointer and pinkie. And on my right hand I used Air Glow on my ring and middle and Afterglow on my thumb, pointer and pinkie.

Moonbow is by far my favorite in this collection. It goes from an awesome teal to a vibrant purple. Its absolutly stunning. But all these colors are amazing!!! Im so glad I got these in a swap as they normally arent somthing id purchase but im truely in love with them!!!!

I hope you all have a great night!!!

Holo Cheetah Print

I decided this morning that I needed a new manicure for the weekend and that you guys deserved another post before I go away for the weekend. Now if your going to be out on the boat all weekend in the sun what kind of polish do you need?? Holo goodness of course!!!!! So I decided to do a light silver holo base, stamp it with black and fill in the cheetah print with other holos!!!!

This manicure came out even better than I imagined. I am in love with it, soo cant wait to get a pciture of it in the sun this weekend and when I do ill add it to this post when I return.

I started out with 2 coats of Jade Psicodelica. Its an amazing silver holo. All the jades apply like a dream. And the holo in them is absolutly insane!!!!

Mmmm look how awesome that is!!!! I then used my Konad Black stamping polish and the DRK-A plate to add on the cheetah print. I tried both the black and stamping with a holo black but surprisingly prefer the solid cream black best.

After that I used the following polishes to fill in the cheetah print using a dotting tool.

Jade Vermelho Surreal, Fascinio Violeta, Delirio Rosa, Hypnose, and Energy as well as Hits Esmalte. I was going for a rainbow of holos :) And I think I did just that.

I'm so glad I re did my nails today, this is one manicure I wont mind looking at for a few days!!. What do you guys think?? Love all the holo??

Well dolls I wont be back again will sunday night so have a fantastic weekend!!!

Purple-tastic

Well im officially on vacation till next Tuesday so I decided that my first manicure would be purple using 2 of my new hits! I love purple polish and definatly don't own enough of these. Its my goal to find a neon purple cream, so if you know of one let me know :)

For this manicure I used Hits Dionisio and Hestia, both took two coats and both applied really well. I'm so impressed with Brazil polishes. Every one Ive tried so far has been amazing!!!!

In case you don't know these colors Dionisio is the dark purple and Hestia is the light purple. I love the way these two look together. But I must say I do prefer Dionisio.

Now to share a picture of my adorable cat Merf all stretched out by my computer he he.

Isn't he adorable???!!!! I love my kitty he he.

Well dolls I do hope I can get a bunch of manicure done this week, got a few exciting plans like fishing, the beach, and visiting the family but ill also be around here <3

LDOS: Summer Ombre

I finally have another Lazy Days of Summer challenge post for you all today, and its my summer ombre. But before I get to that just wanted to let you all know I went through all your guys comments again today adn replied to you all. I love reading them all, they always make me smile :).  I'm also hoping that all my fellow Canadians are enjoying there holiday today like I am :) Just taking it easy and doing stuff around the house he he.

Now onto the nails. For my summer ombre I decided to use all pink holos, as i figured the holo would make them really summery :) And I must say that after doing this manicure I need more pink holos, my pinky color just doesn't fit well enough and I had no others to use :(

The colors I used are the following:

Thumb - Jade Delirio Rosa

Pointer - Hits Afrodite

Middle - Jade Seducao Rosa

Ring - Jade Deja Vu

Pinkie - OPI DS Extravagance

As you can tell im loving my Jades right now, they are just sooo awesome I just cant stop using them and staring at them. I know the DS extravagance isn't the best fit for these colors but I think it works and does it job he he and its a gorgeous color which is a plus :)

I then decided to add some stamping to it, I choose a full nail design from the DRK-A Plate that I haven't used yet and used Sally Hansen Insta Dry Silver Sweep to stamp with.

I love the way the silver looks with the pink holos. The top two pictures are taken in the sunlight coming through my window with no flash, and the bottom two are with flash in artificial light.

Now if you want to see more awesome summer head on over to visit the other lovely ladies who are participating in this challenge!!!

Hits Glitter Forte swatches

I received one of my most anticipated nail mails this week!!! It was my first order from Llarowe which was 4 of the Hits Glitter Forte polishes!!! These are also the first Hits that I own, which I decided to buy as a treat for myself back when I got my income tax return :)

I absolutely love to wear glitter even though removing it sucks no matter how you go about it so when I saw these were on her sale page I just couldn't help but buy a few to try. I used 2 coats for all of these with no top coat and taken with a flash in artificial light

First off is number 611- Indie, which is a bright green glitter. This color reminds me of the tropic because of its yellow undertone. I think this would make a killer french tip :)

Number 368 - New Wave, is a red glitter with an orange undertone. I think you would get away with this color any time of the year, not just around christmas. Its definatly a must if you like glitter and red polishes.

Number 367 - Rockabilly, is a bright pink glitter. This has to be my favorite one out of these four. Its so pretty and feminine!!! And of course the fact that its pure glitter makes it that much better!!! This will definatly be used as a full mani or pedi soon.

Number 612 - Britpop, is a light blue glitter. This color reminds me of the ocean or rain. Its an absolutly gorgeous color and would look great on almost any skin tone!!

Overall I love all the colors, they are all jammed packed with glitter and apply really nice.

Have you guys ever tried these? I cant wait to try some of the Hits holos or duo-chromes!!! They will be mine one day and I can just imagine that they will be truly awesome!!!

But if you guys want to see more awesome untried polishes head on over to some other lovely ladies in my birthday group!!!
