LDoS: Summer Nights

Well dolls this is the last Lazy Days of Summer challenge post for me tonight and its Summer Nights. I wanted to try and re create that gorgeous deep blue night sky that you see when outside at night around a camp fire. Enjoying that lovely fresh summer air :)

 

So I decided to start of with 2 coats of OPI Russian Navy which is a gorgeous deep blurple. I then added one coat of the famous Max Factor Fantasy Fire, and then oped that off with 1 coat of Catrice Return of the Space Cowboys.

 

 

I think this has to be one of my favorite layering combos ever. I didn't want to take it off to do the next manicure. I loved this so much that Ill be painting my toes with it. Just look at the sparkle, and the depth in the color. It reminds me just like a night sky. Even the flash spots help to compliment it by looking like the moon. I'm just madly in love with this.

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

Another Untried, Glitter Top Coat :)

Today I bring you another untried polish, or shall I say a few of them. I already posed my ombre manicure which is the base of today's mani. It was my first time using Max Factor Disco Mix and Intense Plum, as well as China Glaze Traffic Jam and Sally Hansen Fuchsia Flare. I then decided it need something on top so I used my new 365 Days Of Color polish, Old Time Movie!!

I must say i'm really impressed with Old Time Movie, i love how the glitter is really broken/torn in it. I think it also works really well with the 5 base colors I used :)

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

ASBMF: Ombre Nails

Today at my work I had inventory, being up at 445am means easy nails, and thankfully the April Showers Bring May Flowers challenge #5 is Ombre. Ive never done one before but figured choosing 5 colors that are similar wouldn't be to hard. Boy was I ever wrong. I think I spend a good 30 minutes trying to find 5 of one color in various hues. Lucky I own enough pinks he he.

For this manicure I ended up using OPI Pink Friday, Sally Hansen Fuchsia Flare, Max Factor Disco Pink, China Glaze Traffic Jam, and Max Factor Intense Plum.

I really love how well these 5 polishes go together. i think they transition really nice across the nail. Now I want to try this with blue he he or with using all glitter polishes :) Oh the possibilities he he

ASBMF: April Showers

Today is challenge # 3 of April Showers Bring May Flowers, which is April Showers :)

For this I decided I was going to use 2 of the polishes I got in yesterday nail mail. Nails In Baker Street, Max Factor Fantasy Fire and Models Own Ibiza Mix.

This manicure didn't turn out quiet how I envisioned it but its not to bad :)

I started out with 2 coats of the Nails Inc Baker Street. This color is the most stunning blue Ive ever seen!!! I think this is one of my favorite polishes right now, its soooo electric adn the formula was fantastic!!!!

I then applied 2 very thin coats of Max Factor Fantasy Fire. I wanted it to be streaky for the rain effect so that's why I applied it as thin as possible :) I cant wait to try Fantasy Fire over other colors!!

Now this is the part that didn't look how I felt it would. I used Models Own Ibiza Mix on the ring finger for an accent nail. Its supposed to represent the color that come out after then rain, with flowers blossoming, grass turning green,  and pollen in the air :P he he !!! I think Ibiza mix would be much better over a different color :)

So what do you guys think about it?

Elemental Styles Act-inum My Age and nail mail!!!

Today I was lucky and came to a mailbox full of packages!!!! Words cant even describe how happy I was when I pulled 3 packages out of my little mail box!!! I got amazing polishes, adorable socks and yummy chocolate, the socks are from a sock swap in my birthday group :)

Here are some pictures of the mail :)

First up is a swap from Zoe over at OCNPD, she from my birthday group and also had me for the sock swap which are sooo cute!!!

She got me Models Own Head Kandi Ibiza Mix, Nails Inc Baker Street, Max Factor Intense Plum, Max Factor Disco Pink and last but not least Max Factor Fantasy Fire!!! Cant wait to try there babies out!!!!

I also had my order of Kleancolor polishes come in. I got Sugar Coat, Holo Chrome, and Chunky Holo Black!!! So excited to try these out and hopefully order more!!!

And the last mail was my other sock swap from Miagi at Pretty Kitty Claws!!! They are absolutely adorable!! The hubby loved the chocolate eggs he he!!!

Now that you guys got to see what I got to come home to its onto the nail!!! I told you yesterday that today I would use my new Elemental Styles Act-inum my age which is a franken that can be purchased from her  Etsy shop!!!

The polish is a gorgeous purple holographic polish with holographic silver glitter, iridescent glitter, and large and small purple glitters!!! It takes 2 coats to get full coverage. I did find that it was a bit thick when applying but it smoothed out nicely on the second coat!!! I will definatly be buying more of her polishes after seeing how amazing this one is!!!

Isn't it amazing!!!! I have been looking for a great purple go to polish and I think Ive found it!! I bet this will be great on the toes in the summer :)

Anyways tomorrow I will be rocking out some of the lovely polishes the Zoe got me so stay tuned <3
