Red and Gold!

Hi All!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

So, In my head this was way better! I'm not sure if this is more of a yellow brick road in red or a red river. 
I dunno! I just wasn't happy. Needless to say I didn't keep it on long.
I used Nina Ultra Pro - Gold Leaf and Sangria. Then laid the black paper dust along the line.

Ode to Spring!

Hi All!
Sorry, I have been MIA for so long! Two Fridays ago we had nasty storms with horrible tornado's. First to all the families that lost  love-one's and everything they own in these storm's my prays go out to you!! We were lucky with no one hurt or major damage.  
With everything going on  I didn't even paint my nails last week at all. So on a brighter note! I felt like a happy spring mani!

I used Rimmel London's - Mocha fever as the base coat. Pure Ice - Splash and A tan no name polish for this mani! Hope you like it!

10 is Blue!

Hi All!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I got to watch my son till the garden! I laughed, watching how he struggled with it but was so determined to control this machine shaking him like he was a soda can! =) Oh the pure joy of little paybacks to your kids!

This is Golden Rose Matte - 10. They didn't want to name this. But it is a beautiful Navy Blue. It was a dream to apply and only took two coats! It was super glittery while wet, but kinda lost it when it dried. I couldn't complain because is is such a beautiful matte finish!

3d Hawaiian Flowers!

Everbella Review Day!

Hi All!

Today I am reviewing 12 Glitter Paper Dust set. That I received form the the wonderful Florence at The Everbella Nail & Beauty Supply. 


The Set has 12 different colors in nice little screw on lids. So, no worries about them popping open. They all comes in a clear case with a lid. I actually really liked this to keep them all together.

 They call this paper glitter. It looks more like shale to me. Or like the inside of clam shells that have flaked off. It is a mixture of big and small pieces. Like snowflakes they are not the same shape! You can used these for more of a packed 3D look or you could place the pieces alone. 

 So I used Wet n Wild - SaGreena The Teenage Witch as the base color for the flowery background feel. I then used 7 of the 12 glitter dust colors.

 Then I used a clear coat to dot the flower shape I wanted, leaving the middle open for the center of the flower. 

 While the clear coat dotting was wet I added the glitter dust. Then tapping the excess off and used a soft paint brush lightly sweeping away any loose glitter dust. I let them dry completely ( shouldn't take long). 

 Then I dotted the clear coat in the centers of the flowers then adding a different color. Tapping and brushing again.  I left the glitter dust as is. The colors are bright and shine but has a soft look to them.

In this look I Sealed over the glitter dust with a top coat. This is just as pretty but it does wash out  the color by making it have a wet glossy look. 

 The top coat really makes this shine!! All most like shiny stones! 

 This is just away to get a different look out of the same product. 

So what do I think of these. I love them! They are so different then just glitter. I can build them 3D or I can lay them piece by piece in the shapes I want. They have a different shimmery shine then glitter. And just by adding a top coat to them you get another glassy look. You can also crush them up and get more of a powder look. I also think they have a nice mix of colors in the set. I would have been more in love with this set if it had a green in it!! I would have done my whole nail in glitter dust! Their picture has green in it but I got a grey instead.  I know that I did this nail art and still have tons left over. It just doesn't take a lot to do this!
