Franken Blogger Series Part 1: Purple Castle

Hello beautiful ladies! A couple weeks ago, I decided to try my first franken and couldn't decide on what color or polishes to use. Then I thought why not choose to do them by someone who inspires me and has helped me a lot here on blogger.
I chose to do a franken inspired by Lydia from Sekhmet's Purple Castle. We both decided Purple Castle would be a great name for the polish!
Its a light purple with pink undertones, large, medium, and small silver/holo hex glitters, purple glitters, blue glitters, silver shimmers, orange and green flakies, and blue and purple hex glitter! Enjoy!

*There will be 2 more frankens inspired by Katee from A Girl and Her Polish and Jenni from Gold Speck Nails

Spring Challenge - Day 7: Butterflies

Hey everyone!!! I am SUPER excited for today's theme for me and Jenni's Spring Challenge. The theme for today is butterflies! I chose to do monarch butterfly wings! I didn't want to do the traditional orange, and opted for spring gradients! I think out of all the manis I've done, this is by far my favorite! I tend to work better when I'm angry (haha I got into an argument with my mom a couple minutes before I did these). Anyone else work better under stress??

*My inspirations/ guide for this mani is mainly from this picture: Pink Butterfly Nails
*Don't forget to see what Jenni came up with for Day 7

Spring Challenge - Day 5: Rainbow

Pink Wednesday-Swatch & Review

Hey everyone! For this pink Wednesday I wanted to do a quick swatch & review  of a polish (Revlon: Starry Pink) my boyfriend bought me while shopping for my giveaway!
*Before I forget, if you haven't entered my Valentine's Day Giveaway or Lydia's Valentines Day Giveaway make sure to do so!!!
Review: 
-The color is a light pale pink with a bit of an lilac undertone with large silver hex glitters as well as small ones
-The formula is a bit sheer, so full opacity can be reached with 3 coats (As I did below)
- Layered on itself, it creates a gorgeous glitter sandwich!
-If you prefer not to use 3 coats, I suggest to use an opaque pale pink first then use this on top
-It is a pain in the *** to remove (even after using the foil method & the other way)
-Overall, I love this polish! Im a sucker for polishes that look great alone without stamping or stuff like that!

-Seche Retain
-Revlon: Starry Pink
-Sally Hansen: Anti- Chip Top Coat

Christmas Present Review #2 (Picture Spam)

Hey all! So as promised, I have my second xmas present for review today! I save this one for last because it was my favorite!! :)

The Color Workshop Nail Stage Collection ($10 @ my local Wal-Mart).

*Overall I was super happy, for the $10 my mom spent, I think it was worth it for all these products!!
*All the polishes except 1 were all shimmers or glitters, the other one was a creme.
*The french mani polishes worked great, although the white polish was a bit sheer!

Includes the following: 

• Cuticle Cutter
• Cuticle Pusher 
• Cuticle Trimmer
• Tweezers
• Scissors 
• Nail Clipper
• Nail Buffer 
• Nails Care Sticks
• 2 Toe Spacers 
• Nail Station (hand rest, which i love!)
• French Mani Stencils (did not work) 
• 14 nail polishes (3 are for a french mani)     

Now onto the nail polish reviews (they do not have names btw) :

*A red creme more on the coral family (opaque in 2 coats) 

*One of my favorites

*An iridescent lilac with purple micro glittlers  (opaque in 3-4 coats) 

*Sheer purple base with holo glitter (opaque in 4-5 coats) 

*Really pretty, love it! 

*Sheer black base with mini silver and green glitters (opaque in 2-3 coats) 

*Nude pink base with purple micro glitter (opaque in 3-4 coats) 

*This is also one of my favorites, looks gorgeous against my skin color 

                                  Click to see the flakies!! :) 

*Sheer iridescent base with silver flakies (this is great for layering, opaque in 4-5 coats) 

*This one is my favorite! I love polishes with flakies! 

*Gold/ copper shimmer polish 

*Metallic/iridescent pink (opaque in 3-4 coats) 

*Brown base with copper shimmers (opaque in 2 coats) 

*Also one of my favorites! 

*Bright pink base with purple micro glitter 

*Clear base with tons of holo glitters 

*A very very very close dupe of China Glaze in Fairy Dust 

                                    The French Mani Set 

*The french pink is a perfect shade for a french mani 

*The white is a bit sheer but two coats works 

*The topcoat takes awhile to dry & add a bit of shine 

*Alright so I hope you guys liked my review! I will be back to doing mani sometime later this week! & I will try to come up with a new years mani! Bye! 

*Which polish do you think is prettiest?
