First Stamping!!! :))))

Hey guys!
So I bought my first Konad stamper and plate! I only have one for now so I'll have to settle for this until I get another paycheck :) for this manicure I put two coats of Fingerpaints Tiffany Imposter and for the stamping I used China Glaze Foie gras! I love this light blue and brown mix! Well
It's more of a Tiffany blue, hence the name! Tell me what you think! Oh! And the plate is Stamping Plate Konad m57

Hunger Games Collection 3 More Polishes

HEY!
So  I'm pretty sure if you read nail blogs often you'll have seen many swatches and reviews of this collection. I bought them for 1.50$ and I hadn't swatched them yet. So here are three more from the Hunger Games collection.

China Glaze Agro
So, this was my least favorite of the 4 that I bought. Its a olive-ish green metallic polish with a bunch of gold shimmer. In the bottle it just screamed "Buy me" I was so in love. On the nail I wasn't so pleased. I had streaking problems with it. Maybe if I took a little extra time with this polish if I do decide to use it for a mani I would look better.  It was opaque in 1 coat, which was nice.
(sorry again about the photos, I'll be using my Iphone until my camera gets fixed) :(


 This last photo was with no flash.

China Glaze Stone Cold 
-EEEEEEK! I was so excited to see this in the $1.50 bin, I had been trying to find it because not a lot of beauty stores carry the collection anymore. I read a bunch of reviews and seen a bunch of swatches and just ached for this polish. It did not dissapoint. Stone Cold is an amazing dark grey matte. This polish is also my favorite matte polish.  It applies perfectly, completely opaque in one coat.




China Glaze Dress Me Up

Dress Me Up looks to me like a dusty rose taupe.  Its a beautiful nude polish. This is a go to color for when you don't want anything extremely flashy but simply beautiful. Pretty opaque in one coat, but I applied 2 just to be on the safe side.

China Glaze Foie Gras - Hunger Games Collection


SO! I have 2 sets of good news!
1. I got 4 new China Glaze Polishes :)
2. One of my best friends had her baby girl!
So I went to Sally's beauty supply around noon when I was getting lunch while waiting on my friend to have her baby and they happened to have a bucket full of china glaze, orly, and fingerpaint polishes for 1.50. I couldn't resist. I'll do swatchs of the other 3 I bought eventually. But this was the one i was the most excited about. Its a beautiful Dusty taupe creme with the slightest hint of Purple. The formula was great. Opaque in only 1 coat. I finished it off with China Glaze fast drying top coat. But this was a beautiful simple mani. Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I took them with my iphone so they aren't the best. But i thought I'd at least share my new colors with you. This is China Glaze Foie Gras.
And I met my friends daughter today. They named her Callie Rae. How cute and country. :)
Have a great day everyone. Comment and tell me what you think of this color.

China Glaze - Celtic Sun

Hello, You guys are lucky enough to get two posts today :)
I finally had a day off work so I was able to do another mani! Today I decided to wear another new polish of mine. China Glaze Celtic Sun! This color is so beautiful. 
PROS:
 1. Really CUTE! - Its almost like I colored on my nails with a yellow highlighter. I don't think I could find anything like it.
2. Went on smoothly and evenly. :) This is always a plus.
CONS:
1. I had to put a white base polish down because by itself this polish is insanely sheer.
2. Didn't photograph well - These pictures don't compare at all to what this polish looks like in person, but these were the best of all that I took.

China Glaze 106- Under the Board walk

So I have another Nail polish review.
This is China Glaze Under the Boardwalk. I bought it after seeing a swatch on one of my favorite blogs ( The Polishaholic) you should really check her out. She's amazing. Well anyway it's a very fuschia-y pink. Has a purple undertone but it's definite what I'd consider a pink. It's a jelly formula, which I love. The application was pretty easy and for the photo I used two coats. It went on very smoothly. I recommend adding this polish to your collection!
