Girls Night!!

So last night my sister Mel, and my bff Sarah came over for a little girl time. They wanted to do their nails which was fine with me, especially since Sarah is a Salonaholic, and almost never paints her own nails. 
Funny enough they picked almost the exact same things, and the little difference is definitely conducive to their personalities.

Sarahs Nails: OPI Fly & Konad Princess white

Plates M57 & M13

Mels nails: Zoya Jo & Konad Princess White, Plates M57 &M28

I like the skulls on Sarahs nails better, but Mel HATES them, they just aren't punk enough for her :P I'm gonna practice free handing anarchy symbols for her, for next time, lol. I'll let you guys know how that works out. As always thanks for checking my pics hope you like them!

Im a barbie girl O.o?

So I recently bought Seche Restore, and went on a nail polish saving mission. Most of my shatters were dry and the brushes were all gunky, so I added a few drops in hope that they would ungunk, and boy did they ever. The consistency of the polish was back to perfect after only 30 seconds and by the next day the brushes were completely chunky free. Needless to say I felt the need to bring them out of retirement, now without further ado, my Barbie inspired mani!

You can kind of see the Essie Pure Pearlfection

For this I used Color Club Electro Candy, OPI White Shatter, then topped it with Essie Luxeffects Pure Pearlfection, and Revlon Speed Dry Top Coat. I can't lie, I kind of hate Pink, but I really wanted to use the white shatter and for some reason I felt I had to put it over pink, so bleh. Hope everybody has a great weekend!

OPI NICKI MINAJ SUPER BASS SHATTER!!!

♪Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass♪ - Nicki Minaj SuperBass

I swear Nicki got my heart beat running away for real, she is killin' it in every way, in everything she does. I mean who else can call Slick Rick that guy with the thing on his eye!! Lol.
So here it is, my second polish from the Nicki Minaj Collection from OPI, Super Bass Shatter, named of course, for her smash hit Super Bass.

The obligatory label shot... someone on the line was slacking :p

This shimmery plum purple shatter was definitely calling my name :P The colour is awesome, and I have a few regular polishes in this same colour range. I was already wearing Color Club Antiquated, so I quickly topped it with Super Bass. I think it looks fantastic, the neutral base colour really allows the shatter to be focal point, instead of just being part of the look.

 

yep thats my camera string

The formula on this seems a little less goopy than the previous OPI shatters I have, and went on super smooth. All in all I think this is probably one of my favorite collections so far. I think the colours are totally on point with Nickis persona, and I can't wait to grab a few of the other colours.

OPI NICKI MINAJ METALLIC 4 LIFE SWATCH AND REVIEW!!!!!

I wanna start by saying I LOVE NICKI!!! My favorite song is probably Save Me off Pink Friday, and then Romans Revenge with Eminem. :DDDDD

Ok now on to the nails.... My sister brought home 2 of the polishes from the Nicki collection last night. To say I was excited would be an understatement. Lucky for me she bought the one colour I've had my eye on since the press pics, Metallic 4 Life (named for her song Moment For Life) so here are some pics.

Packed with sparkles!!

idk some people take pics of the labels

This colour is AMAZING. If you could bottle rockstar this would be it. 

Metallic 4 life is semi transparent black jelly, jam packed with all different sizes of silver glitter, from tiny sparkles, to medium hex. It was totally opaque with 2 coats no base colour, and it is almost blinding its so light catching. The formula on this is thick, but i liked it MUCH better than any of the Muppets Collection glitters. It painted very evenly considering how glumpy it was from all the sparkles, and I got no bare spots.

My only complaint is that because its got so much glitter in it, the tips of my nails were scratching and snagging everything, and I needed at least 2 coats of top coat to smooth it out. On the plus side of that, the top coat added even more dimension.


All in all this is a definite win for me and I am not disappointed in the least. I can't wait to grab a few more colours from this collection.

Snowy Fail

I get so inspired by other peoples nail art, I often attempt things that are far beyond my skill set. Well today I thought I would try a wintery sponge gradient. As you can see it was a biiiiiiiiiig fail. I probably should have looked up a tutorial or something but that's not how I roll :p

 I had to mix the baby blue since I only own one blue. So I mixed Color Club Pure Energy with Loreal French tip white, and sponged it on first. I then sponged on some Orly Au Champagne which really did nothing, then I sponged on the Loreal French tip white on the edge of my nail waited 5 mins and gave it another go. Topped it off with a coat of OPI Last Friday Night for a snowy feel, and added some dollar store jewels. In retrospect I would have done this completely differently, and I was such a dope to use Last Friday night cause it made the white blue, but ugggghhhh! overall this was a total fail for me :((

Mels nails of the day

Mels latest Konadicure.

Shes always such a bword about taking the pics

OPI Sparrow me the drama, stamped with China Glaze Devotion, and Konad Plate M65.

Overall neither of us were very happy with this one, I really need more colour variety in my polishes I think.

OPI Brisbane Bronze

This little bottle has been rolling around in my nail polish box for a while. Technically it's my sisters, and definitely more of a colour she would buy. After my unexpected love of Warm 'n Fozzie, I decided to try it. This is 2.5 coats Brisbane Bronze ( I say 2.5 because it would have been ok with 2 but my bad nail painting required a couple touch ups) with Revlon Speed Dry top coat.

Outside Daylight

In the Bathroom

Its a nice metallic bronze, more on the reddish side than the gold, with a hint of shimmer. It was pretty streaky when I applied it but it smoothed out as it dried. Overall I like this colour and will definitely wear it again.

Microchops.

You may hear me mention my sister a lot, lol. Her name is Melissa, she is 2 years younger than me, and my best friend. We live together, and I credit her for waking the sleeping polish addict within me. In return I like to do her nails too. Here is her most recent Konadicure.

 She was being a B-word about the pics so they suck as usual, but her nails looked good :p

We started with OPI Base coat, and 2 coats of OPI De-signer, De-better, from the Muppet's Holiday Collection. She picked the 'micro-chip' design (her words) from Konad Plate M61 and I stamped it with Konad Special Black and topped it off with OPI Top Coat. I think it came out really good, and I'm loving the full nail stamps.
