Pink Wednesday: Color Club Warhol

Another Pink Wednesday today... I am wearing  Warhol from Color Club's Poptastic collection. Super bright, hot pink!

Once I had applied this color it reminded me of Zoya Ali, but I don't think they are dupes for each other. What do you think?

I have had this glitter for a while and only used it once besides now. I really like it though. It's Sally Hansen In the Spotlight. Pink Wednesdays always seem to bring out the girly girl in me! :)

Thanks for reading! <3

Kleancolor Holo Yellow + Blog Awards + New Blog Poll

Hey everyone! Here is a simple mani that kinda goes outside of my comfort zone because of the super chunky glitter. I don't want to look like a 5th grader! haha

This is before the chunky glitter. Kleancolor Holo Yellow is good in 3 coats and has scattered holo pieces that really stand out. 

I bought this chunky glitter from Forever 21. I think it's name is Mardi Gras. I have a love hate relationship with these chunky glitters...I can't seem to fully embrace them, but I can't say no either! haha

I was graciously given 2 blog awards recently. The first from Laura at Clothes Cosmetics and Chat. 

The rules of this award are:

*Thank the person who gave you this award

*Write a post about it

*Pass it on to 10 bloggers you think really deserve it and send them a message to let them know

I was also given this award by Whitney from Elemental Styles. Since I am short on time lately and I have seen these awards circulating around for a while I'm not going to tag anyone specific but will repost the details for anyone who wants to pass them on!

Here are the Top 10 award rules:

1. Thank the person who tagged you and link to their blog. 

2. Put the Top 10 Award logo on your blog. 

3. List your top 10 cosmetics.

4. Choose 10 bloggers to tag, link to their blogs, and let them know.

Here are my top 10 cosmetics...in no order other than how they come to mind! ;)

1) Loreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Primer

2) Elf Mineral Booster

4) Elf Studio Eyebrow Kit

5) Dior Diorshow Mascara

6) ELF Studio Tinted Moisturizer

7) Zoya Nail Polish

8) Elf Essentials Eyelid Primer- Just as good as UD and Smashbox!!

9) Bath and Body Works Lip Glosses

10) Loreal Sublime Bronze Instant Action Self Tanner

Obviously, I am an ELF Fan! I really believe that some of their stuff rivals or trumps high end brands. What do you think of my top 10??


Thank you both!

And finally...if you have made it through this monstrous post...I have added a new poll to my blog. Let me know which untried polish you would like to see! I will try to make this a weekly thing. Until next time...<3

Nail Sponging with Color Club Poptastic

Happy Saturday! My day has been full of rain and storms....I was hoping for a pool day. :( I guess this gives me an excuse to blog though. Lately I have been very uninspired and if you like me on Facebook you know that some of my ideas have been huge fails. I guess that's why I don't have a lot to show you recently. haha 

I am still in Tennessee trying to get better from mono (it's been almost 6 weeks people!!) so my nail polish stash I brought has been worn out I think. I needed to get some more options  and managed to get out and find Color Club's Poptastic collection at Ross.

I used Twiggie for the base of my sponging. Obviously this shot is before clean up. That said I had a hard time with this polish because it's on the thick side. Pretty color though!

This is my first time doing sponging all on my own...I had Dustin do it in the past. haha So I'm not sure how I feel about the end result. Although I did get comments on my nails everywhere I went today...guess that means something?! :P

Looking back, I think I would have chosen a different color combo for this. The polishes I used for sponging (all Color Club) : Poptastic, Pucci-licious, and Chelsea Girl.

I think I am going to experiment some more with this tonight! <3

Scotch Tape Stripes

Hello! Just a quick post today...not a whole lot to say about this mani. I really like the way it turned out though! I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in White On as my base. Slapped a piece of tape in the middle and used Kleancolor Holo Yellow and Pink to make the stripes. Easy peasy!

Here's a quick how to. I used masking tape because I found it easier to work with...but I will still call it a scotch tape mani. :P

I will be announcing my giveaway winner tomorrow...I apologize for the delay!

OPI Spark de Triomphe

Happy weekend! I don't know about you, but I am always sad when it's over. 

I bet you guys already noticed that I am on a huge glitter kick lately. What can I say...I am a total girly girl! I saw this polish swatched a week ago and ordered the polish within minutes of seeing it. This was a must have, and I am not disappointed! This is Spark de Triomphe, part of the OPI Grand Slam France duo. The other part of the duo is white shatter...but I am not a fan of the whole crackle/shatter thing so I only purchased the glitter. 

I wore this for 3 days and never got sick of it! I was actually sad to take it off, but the addict in me couldn't go any longer not changing my polish. haha The color is understated, but the glitter makes it stand out. It's very luxurious. This is 3 coats, but this polish is versatile enough that one coat can be layered over another polish for a different look.

I highly highly recommend this for all the glitter lovers out there...this polish is incredible! <3

China Glaze QT

Hey hey! Today I have a fun mani for ya...using one of the coveted OMG collection polishes. This is QT. I have had this polish for a few months now and this is my first time using it...I underestimated how amazing it is because the holo-y goodness hides in the bottle! I still haven't decided if this is more red, or like a rose pink. It looks different in different lighting. I'll let you decide! haha

I think most holos can be left well enough alone without nail art, but since I had Color Club Revvvolution around, I decided to do some stamping with that. I used Bundle Monster plate 223. This is my first time doing stamping with a holographic polish. That I remember anyways...

I wish I would have paid attention better during clean up! 

Ok so I don't use a top coat with holo polishes because I am paranoid that it will mess with the holo...do you guys use a topcoat with holographics? Do you think certain holos are affected by topcoats while some are not? Would love to hear your thoughts! <3
