Today I finally got to try out the polishes that I got from Vita on Friday and I got to tell you all, in the bottles, these babies were gorgeous! On my nails, they look fabulous, I am just loving them like crazy!
Lets start with The lovely blue with purple shimmer and blue glitter, Rainstorm. The shining light gold with silver glitter, Gilded Treasure. The glimmering pink with glitter the same color, 108 Degrees. 2 coats of each. Rainstorm looks matte in this picture, but it is not.
Next, we have the fun glitter that brings personality to any mani, Snow Globe. Because it is a clear polish with glitter I chose to use 2 coats of Heaven (China Glaze), a shimmering peach, and then put 2 coats of Snow Globe.
Lasty we have the Magetix Pull Me Close. Unfortunately I messed up 3 times as I put way to much polish on the first time, the second time I had it but then nicked it right in the middle of the nail. The last time, only half of the nail managed to get the design on it. I decided to call it good for now. I will be playing around with it more later. I used the side of the magnet with the diagonal lines.
So here is all of them together:
After taking those pictures I thought to myself " 108 Degrees looks like the perfect watermelon pink, wait, i have some watermelon femos that Vita also gave to me." I then proceeded to put China Glaze Holly-Day on the tip and then used a light green striper polish and added black dots and a watermelon fimo slice.
Hey everyone! Yesterday I received an amazing package of goodies from my BNFF (Best Nail Friend Forever) Vita! I have known Vita since January of 2011, when we meet in a nail forum on GaiaOnline and our friendship deepened as we joined a nail guild on that same site. Not only that, but we bonded over Youtube as we both have channels and do nail tutorials. Vita has been doing it for longer then me and she the most talented nail artist I have ever had the pleasure to know. If you havn't already please checkout her blog Nails by Vita and her Youtube Channel VitaR86. Vita and I are also members of the Facebook group, Nail Polish Collectors.
On to the goodies! The above picture is the majority of what she sent me, I couldnt get everything in the picture. time for the more close up pictures. I can not tell you how excited and happy I was to open that box up and see each and everyone of these as I unwrapped them all. The women sent me way too much! How am I to repay her? The only thing not in any of the pictures below are the straight nail clippers, but they are in the above picture.
Here we have a hand so I can practice acrylics, which she has promised to teach me. I will hold that too you Vita! As well as a #8 round brush that she has told me is her favorite, a star shaped candle holder to use as a dappen dish, what I assume is acrylic liquid in the small bottle and acrylic powder in white and pink.
The Fimos! I was so excited when I pulled these out of the box. 2 Large pill containers of various fruits and flowers and hearts, as well as some gems. I have never used Fimos before, but I have been wanting to try them for so long. I will be having alot of fun with these, I am sure.
I have been eyeing these Magnetix by China Glaze for some time, but I figured I would never get around to trying it out. I admit, I am a bit skeptical about whether it will work for me (or even if I can do it right) but I will do my best when trying them out. Hope I dont mess up! The polish is "Pull me Close".
Next we have IBD Natural Nail Primer and Poshe super fast drying topcoat. Vita has told me that she has heard it is even better then Sache Vite. I haven never used Sache Vite so I wont really be able to tell the difference, but I am always up for trying new topcoats!
Now we are getting to the really really good stuff! Bundle Monster image plates BM-214 and BM-212. I have 3 Konad image plates, but no Bundle Monster plates, I can't wait to try these out! I love all of the little images on these, they look so fun. You all get a bonus reflection of me, not that you can see it too clearly.
And last but not least, 4 China Glaze polishes. from left to right: Snow Globe, 108 Degrees, Gilded Treasures and Rainstorm. Vita knows me too well, she picked out polishes that I absolutely LOVE and would have picked out for myself in a heartbeat. It is like she was in my head!
I promised her I would do a reaction video when I opened it. the video is a bit long, but if you dont mind 12 minute videos, take a look at my reactions.
Thankyou again Vita, it was really sweet of you send me all that, I will be spending the next week or 2 playing around. Oh, its going to be so much fun! I will get swatches up as I try everything out.
My Sister and I have been working on this for a few months now and we are happy to announce the opening of our Etsy Shop! We are selling handmade nail polish jewelry. I hope you will stop by and check out the store! We also have a Facebook page, please give us a Like.
Today is a rainy day so I could not go out and take a better picture, I apologize. Today we have the 5th installment of my Color Theme series, Blue! Blue is my favorite color, so it took me a while to come up with it because I was being so picky. I started of with a base coat and then using the tape method, I use Sally Hansen's "Blue It" to polish the tips if my nails. Then I covered my nails with two coats of a blue glittery Sally Girl polish, they never have names on these. After that I did one coat of Wet 'n' Wild "Rhythm & Blues". before finishing off with a top coat I used Jordana's Pop Art striper in "526 Fine Art". I hope you guys like these despite the awful quality. Tutorial here:
