Fergie Gone Neon

Happy Monday to all! Hope everyone had a good weekend. School has started for most people. Addie starts 4th grade on Wednesday.  Her school is so small that she just moves next door. There's one teacher/class per grade. So, as you move up you just make a "U" around the school..ha. Kinda cute, I guess.

Well, I am working on another little quiz, but I'm going to make it harder...that was way to easy, but I was just seeing how it would work. It was a test run. I will try to have one in a couple of weeks.

So, I am still working on getting better at nail art or just stamping...that's not really nail art, I guess, but it's something I'm still having to work on. So, I thought I'd bring a little example that I conjured up ha. I did some tweaking on my cuticles (they got a little dry between swatches and I guess I didn't really notice until I started editing my pics...srry!)

I used Wet 'N Wild from Fergie's new line Glowstick. It is an almost neon green shimmer that applies easily with 2 coats. I say "almost neon" because neons have been so popular this year that to me true neons hurt your eyes when you see them such as Orly Glowstick, which I also have, but just haven't swatched. One of those that I saw it once and had to have kinda polish (hence the name...) This is still a pretty color and looks nice as a shimmer.

I used Orly Bonder as a base.. 2 coats of Glowstick. I used Color Club Revvvolution,which is my fav gray holo, as my stamping polish and one of my new stamps from Cheeky Monkey CH16. Then finished off with...yup, thick coat of Seche Vite. Have you tried any of the Fergie Line yet? If so, what's your favorite color? What do you think of them?

 I wanted to show you a vid of Fergie but wouldn't upload, so I am bringing you some Dave Chapelle...almost the same, right? Does the name Tyrone Biggums ring a bell to anyone?? Well, watch below if you want a good laugh:

Color Club Haul

Good evening polish people! I absoultely have to share my great bargain finds I bought last night. So, I was waiting for Addie to get done with her dance class and thought I'd look for more work pants at It's Fashion Metro, a kinda ghetto clothing store, but they have some really cute cheap stuff- especially jewlery.  I noticed a small table at the end of all the accessories and it was covered in polish!! Who'd a thought???  On the bottom shelf were collections of Color Club!! How lucky is that? I found all these collections shown below! I got almost everything they had b/c of the awesome price! I was so excited when I checked out and only spent about $70 on EVERYTHING! That might seem like a lot, but I can go to ULTA and spend that much on 7 polishes, so I thought it got a great deal! And plus a few of these are on my wishlist (AWESOME). I got so excited in the store, the clerk was looking at me like I had just bought some crack or something and I was getting my fix. ha...well, this is my addiction, welcome to my crazy life:)

This is all of it!

Addie wanted to get this for Christmas lol. It was $2.99

 

Wicked Sweet, PopTastic (Addie's), Femme Fatale, Starry Temptress (Addie's), all for $2.99 each

Boho A & B for $3.99 each

From top to bottom: Wicked Sweet (which is Addie's), Beyond the Mistletoe (Addie's),
Foiled- which I paid $3.99 for each of those. Then the bottom, Poptastic was $9.99

  

Love at first sight! The top are the minis what were $9, then $5, now $3
and the bottom are the big collections that were $19, then $10, then $9, now $4

On top of the I bought  2 more Foiled collections (one for Addie and one for my giveaway, then I bought all (3) of the mini Femme Fatale collection (for my giveaway and cause it has the holos I love soooo much!) YAY! I was just freakin' elated!!!! How big of a dork am I to get so excited, but there's nothing better than an awesome sale!!! Especially on things I adore. I asked the girl why they were selling Color Club there (since I'd never seen it before) and she said "it was something new". They were going to see how they sold- well I bought 95% of everything they had! So, she said they receive new ones in next week...so waiting on my daughter at dance practice just got a whole lot more fun!! HA!
I want to share this awesome find with you to show that you can find some things in the most unthought of places! So, it's kinda like a treasure hunt for me now. How fun!! There's nothing like the chase and (cheap) catch! Well, I have added them to my wheels, but not done any swatches and might not do them since they aren't new collections, but will mix some with stamps and just wear them as I go. Right now I'm wearing Blue-Topia, but it looks black...kinda disappointed, but it's a beautiful color when it's thin. Anyways, gotta get to bed to start another day so I can get off work and come home and post more stuff!!! hehe. Goodnight lacquer ladies!

Essie- Bobbing for Baubles

Hey there polish ladies! While I'm still working on my swatching I will grin and bear it...I wanted to share this look I created last week, but was afraid they would look bad, but I really liked the look, just didn't get great pictures since it was already dark, so I had to take pics inside, so I didn't capture the polish at its full potential.  But I will use the top coat again.

Inside light

 h

Had a bit more light here, but more fuzzy, so not much better :(

I used Essie Bobbing for Baubles 1 coat with 3 coats of China Glaze Wireless Holographic Top Coat. I really loved the look I got with the Holo on top of a dark color....looked very galactic and made me think of my favorite TV series, Fringe. The first pic had darker light which I wasn't liking, but I think it brought out the darker Essie color like a night sky while the other pictures showed the holographic colors. I could have added so many more coats, but three is enough. I don't think this color was meant to be too terribly holographic. (I can't wait to get my hands on GOSH Holographic 549!)
These aren't great swatches, the polish was messy and the pictures aren't very good, but I really wanted to share this swatch with you all. I really like it and want to try it again, hopefully when my nails have grown back.
I just bought Butter LONDON's Spring Collection- so excited to make swatches! More to come!
I am also in the midst of creating a Facebook page for my blog, but don't have much more up there than I do here, plus trying to figure out what to swatch, and how to get a great manicure, just busy, busy, busy. Plus I start a new job end of this week!
