Color Club Sugarplum Fairy & Quick Nail Art


I won this polish from Whitney of Elemental Styles & I'm finally getting around to posting it. Color Club Sugarplum Fairy is the loudest, craziest polish I've ever used.
Shown here at 3 coats & 2 coats of topcoat. The formula is a bit gloopy but not too difficult to apply as long you wait a bit between coats. It definitely dries gritty but the extra topcoat is worth it for the ridiculous amount of holographic bling you get with this one. I love it & so does Will; he's been sporting it on his toes for about a month!
 
The next day I added some Maybelline Matte Rose for a sort of art deco feel.


Thanks for reading!

Lightning

It's go through old photos day at April's house. Here's another quick post with some forgotten nails. I can't quite remember what I was going for here...
I used Sinful Secret Admirer (one of my all time favorites) for the base & the Painted Nail by Nubar OMG Gorgeous for the lightning.

Chain Of Hearts Nail Art

Just a quick post with an old manicure that I didn't manage to get any great pictures of even though I really liked it! I used The drop dead gorgeous Zoya Keiko for the base & Zoya Chloe for the flakies inside the heart. Same chain & technique as these nails I did last Christmas.

Sation Board Girl Blue

Sation bottles are oval with thick glass bottoms. The new brushes are great for ladies like me that love wide brushes. The formula on all the ones I've tried is excellent. You can purchase Sation's Big 3 Free polishes at their website. Sation has just released their first limited edition collection, California Gleamin', available now!
Sation Board Girl Blue is a beautiful cerulean blue creme that just barely needs 2 coats. In case you're wondering, it's a few shades brighter than Zoya Breezi & OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui. Gorgeous color unlike any other I own, a new favorite!

Sation Pink Opal

Sation bottles are oval with thick glass bottoms. The new brushes are great for ladies like me that love wide brushes. The formula on all the ones I've tried is excellent. You can purchase Sation's Big 3 Free polishes at their website.

Sation Pink OPal is a very saturated & cheery hot pink jelly polish with just a hint of shimmer. Not the most unique polish, but very pretty; looks like candy! Shown here at 2 coats.

Abstract Chocolate Covered Strawberries?


These nails were inspired by Christina Rinaldi of Prima Creative. I used different colors & they ended up reminding me of chocolate cover strawberries. This look is super easy & the color combinations are endless, though I must say I quite like this combo!

I used Sation Holiday Pink, Essie Little Brown Dress, & China Glaze Cherish.

Sation bottles are oval with thick glass bottoms. The new brushes are great for ladies like me that love wide brushes. The formula on all the ones I've tried is excellent. You can purchase Sation's Big 3 Free polishes at their website.

Sation Holiday Pink reminds me of Watermelon Bubble Yum!It's a nice pink creme that's opaque in 2 easily applied coats. Here's a couple of shots of the lovely roses that came with our house. So pretty!

Udderly Smooth Giveaway!

                                         

I go through tons of lotion & I imagine that most of my readers do as well. Changing your nail polish all the time can really dry out your skin. Udderly Smooth sent me 2 products to try out & I love them both.

First I tried Udderly Smooth Shea Butter Foot Cream, a water based product. I love moisturizers packaged in tubs! I really fell like I can use every last bit & slather on as much as I need. This one has a nice texture & doesn't leave behind and greasy residue.
Next I tried Udderly Smooth Vitamin E Cream. It's a great everyday, all purpose lotion. Udderly Smooth has offered to give one of my U.S. or Canadian readers a tube of the same moisturizer!
