The Only Way To Be Poisoned

     My first polish from Sincerely Polish and once again I am not disappointed. The color of Poison Paradise is a barely off white crelly with gold and iridescent glitters ranging in size from micro to the size of second biggest dotting tool. There are also blue and pink circle shaped glitter along with light green and iridescent squares.

     One coat of this polish would be great for little girls under 10 (I don't believe in girls under 10 wearing fingernail polish). Two coats is perfect for any occasion but the first thing that came to mind was how beautiful it would be if I was to every get married again. When I look at it all I can think about is how perfect it would compliment any wedding dress. I feel that this is the one polish that should never be reformulated but could possibly be renamed. A few I have come up with at "No Wedding Day Jitters", "Something New", "I Do!", and last but not least "Down the Aisle".

     My ring finger has nail decals from Nailed Kit. The stars really fit in with this polish based on the colors. They were very easy to use as this was my first time putting them on my nails.


As always until next time Keep on Polishing.

Pasha Love

  I decided to wear some of the Zoya colors I have never worn because I really liked how the last manicure turned out.

     Today's color is Pasha. I have had this color for almost a year and thought after I got it this is not going to look good on me. I mean you don't see a lot of these companies showing their colors on women of color so it just sat in my polish stash.

     I love how Zoya colors go on. They not only are smooth but also no streaks (on the creams) even if only one coat. I only had to apply two coats to make this opaque. Pasha is a medium taupe with a hint of pink and very fine silver glitter to give it a shimmer in the light. I love how this color is so very work appropriate and yet sexy enough for a night out on the town.

     Most neutrals I don't like to wear when my nails are short because I feel it makes them shorter because of how it can blend in with my skin tone. However, that is not the case with Pasha it compliments my skin tone.

     Well until next time ladies keep on polishing.

Ivanka I Love Zoya's Frida!!!

   My child loves blue and the school colors are green and gold so you can see how I chose this two colors.

     Frida is my first jelly from Zoya but it will certainly not be my last. The color in the bottle does not do it justice once it is on the nails. This polish offers so many looks. One and two coats offer a hint of color to place glitter on top of. Three coats offer the ability to have not have it be so dark with a great shine. I actually put on four coats just because I do not like being able to see any hint of my nail. I have included shots of all coat levels below.

     I really had on plans on doing anything other than a simple single paint manicure however as I was putting away my supplies I noticed Ivanka and thought how good it would look on an accent nail. We know that it was not hard for me to pick which nail was to be painted. While the nail made the mani pop (my childs favorite expression) it did so without over shadowing Frida.

I am signing off until next time and remember keep on polishing.

My First Dot Gradient

     So this idea was born out off my over use of my new dotting tools and my epic failure(my person feelings even though others said it wasn't bad) at a regular gradient. I was looking for something where I could give my fingers a break from all of the color because my nails were beginning to turn yellow. Yes, I do use a base coat to those that are thinking that is what my problem is. I just think I need a new base coat but I have not decided on what I am going to use. I am still doing research on that.

     I started off with my current base coat and then placed on one layer of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. I then keeping with my theme of 30 days of Sinful Colors used my dotting tool and started with Sinful Colors Bali Mist (a purplish pink). Kismet (pink with brown undertones) is my next dot. The final color comes from the recently released Sinful Colors metallic line called Hot Wired. I finished it off with my Sally Hansen Top Coat and Viola! it is done.

   I am quite pleased with the my first attempt at so many dots and a gradient. I am sure it would have been neater had I not decided to do my nails during the second presidential debate. Jumping around and hollering at the television is not a good thing when painting your nails.
