My first Catrice!!!

Hey dolls, hope you all are having a great week!!!! Ive had a pretty busy one with work and such. Yesterday I came home to some nail mail from a dear friend which contained my first Catrice polishes and some more adorable Depend ones!!!!

Return of Space Cowboys, Godfather of Pearl, Dirty Berry, Heavy Metallic, 305 and 316.

There was some delicious chocolate and candies but my husband and parents devoured em before I got the picture taken lol.

So of course I had to paint my nails with a Catrice polish. I started off with 2 coats of Heavy Metallic. This polish was almost a one coater. The formula on it was fantastic. Once I was done that I had to use one of my Million Styles top coat so I added one coat of Godfather of Pearl. This combination is fantastic. The formula on it was great too. The only thing i have to say that's bad about Catrice is I dont like there brush. I dont know why but man was I ever messy with it lol. I then last night stamped the mani using Sally Hansen Silver Sweep with BM-320 plate to make it look like a water marble.

Overall I love this mani, yesterday I couldn't stop staring at the base color. Its definatly a great combination!!!!

Now I thought id share some pics of my Merf being lazy this morning hehe. He is definatly feel much better!!! Hope you all have a great day!!!! <3

AiS: Brooze, Silver, and Gold

Good morning dolls, hope you all are having a great weekend so far!!! I figured id do my post early this morning since Mr. Merf woke me up early so I stamped my nails already!!!! Hes doing so much better, being his old mischievous self.

Last night I painted my nails with my new China Glaze TMI!!!! I am sooo impressed with this color, its was almost fully opaque in 1 coat!! Ill definatly have to try stamping with it. Today's Adventures in Stamping challenge is Bronze, Silver and Gold. Since I don't own a bronze polish *I'll have to change that* I decided to use silver and gold :)  I decided to use my BM-310 plate and stamped using Essie Good as Gold, and then used a dotting tool and added dots of Sally Hansen Silver Sweep.

I really like the way this turned out, wish my dots were a bit more even thou. But I definatly am loving the gold with the TMI, they really compliment each other.

Hopefully tonight or tomorrow ill have to try my new Sea Lore polish :)

Have a great day lovelies <3

ASBMF: Chicks and Eggs

Sorry for no posts yesterday, Ive had such a busy past few days Ive been exhausted. I have down half of the crackle swatching thou and done 2 untried manicures and once challenge. Ill do 2 of the blog posts for you lovely readers tonight :) And hopefully on my day off I can go though and read all of your guys lovely comments <3

So today I did the ASBMF Chicks and Eggs challenge. I took a differnt spin on it wanting to try some stamping. Please bare with me on this one, this is the first time I used Sally Hansen Instant Dry polishes to stamp. I used Fushia Flare and Blue-away, as well as Billie Purple. For the bird I used plate MLS 301 and for the dots and lines I used QA3. The base color is 2 coats of Billie French White with 2 coats of Kleancolor Sugar Coat over top :)

I really like the birds I think they are kind of Chick-ish and I like my little spin on the tradition egg. What do you guys think?

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

Bumbles Bees with a large flower :)

So I figured since it was spring and I had to do a large flower for the PCFC that I would do a bee manicure and have a large flower as the accent nail and I love the way it turned out. Minus a few little mistakes I think it turned out really good. I used my new QA3 stamp for the bees and the stripes, The bees were easy to do, but I had a few issues getting the stripes to transfer onto the nail and not stick up.

For the base I used 3 coats of China Glaze Sunshine pop from the electropop collection. Its a very opaque color with a hint of shimmer it just doesn't go on even :( but I love the actual color :)

For the dots and the outside of the flower I used Orly Liquid Vinyl, and I filled the flower in with Sally Hansen Insta Dry Fuchsia Flare and Blue-Away.

I'm really happy with the outcome of this. I think its absolutely adorable!!!!
