butter LONDON Scallywag- review and swatches

butter LONDON Scallywag has been on my radar. I received it as a gift from my 3 year old. Isn't that adorable? My husband took the boys, 6 and 3, to Ulta and let them pick out nail polish for mommy. That in itself is special to me :-). Well, my little guy picked out Scallywag!

Scallywag is blue chunky glitter matte mixed with sparkles and it is EVERYTHING! It's so gorgeous!!

OPI On Collins Ave

On Collins Ave is from OPI's South Beach Collection 2009. I picked this up a little while ago from Kroger for $3.99. I really liked the color and wanted to share it with you guys. On Collins Ave  is an orangey-red color that leans either way depending on lighting.

On Collins Ave was just a tad thin, but workable. I had no main issues with it at all and I really love the color. It reminds me of the watermelon coral color. This polish is a creme. There is no shimmer or glitter. Love it! Ready for it?

My Current Cuticle Care Faves

Hey everyone I don't do a favorite things post, like a lot of bloggers and vloggers, but I thought I'd let you know the products I've been using on my cuticles to help maintain and moisturize them. For some reason, I have been hearing that I have nice cuticles. This surprises me because I have such dry skin and I don't think too highly of my cuticles, but who am I to argue :-). I'll take the compliment and also share what I've been using on them recently.

Essie Rcessionista -NOTD

Today, I have a quick NOTD post. Essie Recessionista is a beautiful plum color that is perfect for the fall. It is from the Fall Collection: Stylenomics. Recessionista has an okay formula. It did pool at the cuticles, slightly, but it wasn't too bad. I love this polish.

SoFlaJo Ice Dancer review and swatches




SoFlaJo is releasing a Winter Collection called Party Time Collection. There are seven polishes in this collection. I was sent Ice Dancer to review for you. Ice Dancer is a blue shimmer polish with brown, silver and micro holographic glitter. I fell in love with this polish. The base of this polish seems to be a jelly consistency.

Per Jody from SoFlaJo:
"Ice Dancer – I love the sparkle and glitz of the costumes and the fancy footwork of Ice Dancers. When designing this holographic glitter mix of blues, silvers and browns in a blue base, I wanted a “topper” that could be worn alone with opacity in 2-3 coats or dress up favorite undies with its shimmer."

China Glaze Holidays Collection 2012

The Holiday Joy Collection:

l to r: Red Satin, Winter Holly, Cranberry 
Splash and Glitter All the Way

Red Satin is a dark red creme, that seems to be perfect for Christmas. The formula is a tad thin and it pooled slightly at the cuticles, but this doesn't take anything away from it's beauty. This is definitely a great Fall into Winter red! Red Satin is a two coater, but make sure to allow ample time between coats or you'll have bald spots. Red Satin is very shiny without a top coat!

NOTD: Nail Of The Day

Today, I'm just going to post a quick NOTD (nail of the day.) As you guys know, I'm not a gold nail polish fan. Well, I don't like gold on my nails due to my skin color. It tends to match too much or seems a little weird to me. However, recently I reviewed 365 Days Of Color Gimme Some Bubbly and I fell in love with it (here).

365 Day Of Color Christmas Collection

Fixing a chipped Manicure with Striping Tape

Today's post is a tutorial of sort. I want to show you guys how to fix a chipped manicure very easily. I have a manicure on that was starting to chip and I wanted to spruce it up without changing the entire manicure. My manicure is still Miss Fancy Pants (here).

Monday, October 15, 2012

Miss Fancy Pants

According to Essie.com, Miss Fancy Pants is "a refined, chic, greige." This a great color to wear to the office or if you just want a nice neutral color to wear. I didn't know if I was going to like this color, but I do. I'm happy I tried it.

Miss Fancy Pants wouldn't normally be a color I'd pick for myself and I have to say that I didn't pick this color. I received Miss Fancy Pants as a Klout perk. Miss Fancy Pants is from Essie Stylenomics Collection Fall 2012.

Take a look and tell me what you think of Miss Fancy Pants:





My Hubby says it's a weird color, but I like it and think it's a great Fall color. Miss Fancy Pants had a good formula. It pooled a little at the cuticle, but other than that application was good. I have a tendency not to buy Essie because of their polishes being a little on the thin side, but I did like Miss Fancy Pants and will consider Essie in the future.

You can visit Essie here and Klout here for more inforamtion.

My 'Try It On Tuesday' post is dedicated to survivors of Domestic Violence. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The color to show your Awareness is purple. To find out more on Domestic Violence and what you can do to help visit the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

The purple I chose today is butter LONDON Marrow. Marrow is a pretty dusty, grape-y purple.

Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

Today is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, I have a pink manicure to share with you.

"October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go and need your help!" (from NationalBreastCancer.org)

For more information on Breast Cancer visit: NationalBreastCancer.org.

For my "pink mani," I used OPI Argenteeny Pinkini and OPI Strawberry Margarita and striping tape.

Take a look:




I really liked the way these turned out. What do you think?

Please Like, Share and Comment...

Don't forget early detection is the key. Have a plan that helps to detect Breast Cancer in an early stage. The earlier it is detected the better the survival of the disease.

Falling Forward Nail Art Challenge DAY 6 -FALL GRADIENT/OMBRE


Hey guys, today is the last day of the Falling Forward Nail Art Challenge. I must say that it was fun. I'm glad I participated in it. Thanks Kim!! I was forced out of my comfort zone and I really appreciate it!
 :-)

Today's Challenge was Fall Gradient/Ombre. I've never done a gradient manicure before, but I've always thought about it. I didn't know how I was going to do it so I googled some tutorials and I finally decided to do things my way, as usual.

What I used:

Finger Paints Tiffany Imposter
Zoya Frida and HK Girl topcoat

I painted my nails with two coats of Tiffany Imposter. I then topped it with HK Girl. I went about 3/4 down my nail with Frida and painted a jagged line with one thin coat. After, that dried I went down 1/2 my nail with Frida again and added another coat. For the last coat I went down my nail about 1/4 and painted again with Frida. I let this dry for a couple of minutes. Once dried, I added HK Girl topcoat.

I really like this manicure, but I wish I had taken my time and did a better job. I was in a time crunch when I did my manicure and didn't have time to painted carefully. But all in all, I really do love this manicure. I've also received several compliments.



Nails are a tad darker in person.


Next time I try this, I'll definitely carve out enough time to do it slowly and have time to clean up afterward. I had to go to my son's school and help the 1st graders tie-dye T-shirts! It was fun.

What do you think of this Gradient?

Zoya Carly

Today's post is about Zoya Carly, a cousin to Zoya Jem, in my opinion. (Click here to see Jem.)  Carly was apart of Zoya's Surf Collection Spring 2012. Carly is a beautiful sparkly, shimmery purple with pink undertones. Carly is very easy to work with and it applied very well. As always I had no issues with this Zoya polish.

Zoya describes Carly as, "Very rich, bold, red-toned dark purple with iridescent red and silver metallic shimmer and a dense foil finish. The bold color and sparkling foil finish make Carly like gift wrap for your nails."

Let's take a look at Carly:

                                                        All pictures are Natural light:







This is my first time using Carly and I absolutely LOVE it!! I love the shimmer in this. It's such a transitional polish. I think Carly definitely works well with any time of the year. It definitely work with this year's fall trends. Go check it out!! You need this polish. You can purchase Carly here!

Falling Forward Nail Art Challenge DAY 5 -LEAVES



Today's Falling Forward Nail Art Challenge is Leaves. I had no idea what to do. I did know for sure that I wasn't going to try and draw leaves on my nails. lol!! I'm not an artist! I decided to use fall leaf colors and go from there.

My first design didn't look right so I came up with another idea.  I just decided to do whatever came to my head. I like the result. Tell me what you think of my interpretation of "Leaves."

What I used:


butter LONDON Hardwear topcoat, China Glaze Luxe and Lush, OPI Flit a Bit, OPI Deer Valley Spice, OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow and essence colour to go Just In Case

The result:




It has a metallic look to it. All in all, it looks very Fall-ish and I liked the way it turned out.

Zoya Jem for Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Month

September is also Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Month. Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families in which red blood cells form an abnormal sickle or crescent shape. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body and are normally shaped like a disc. Sickle Cell Anemia is very close to my heart because I have two younger brothers and they both have the disease. My cousin also has it. 

Sickle Cell is something that people of African decent should definitely be aware of. Please know if you have the Sickle Cell trait and your partner as well. If you both have the trait you can pass the disease on to your children. For more information on Sickle Cell visit here

I'm wearing a Burgundy/maroon mani today in support of Sickle Cell. :-) I chose Zoya Jem. Zoya Jem is a beautiful red-purple color with gold flecks! I've loved Jem since the moment I saw it. I've had my eye on it and I finally bought it and used it today for this special post. Jem is a beauty. As with all Zoya nail lacquers, Jem applied great with no issues. 

One coat of Jem had full coverage and NO streaks, but I added another coat just to be safe. I also, hit my nail so I had to put another coat and I didn't want the pictures to look weird :-).
Zoya describes Jem as, "A dark red-toned purple base with metallic dark pink highlights and subtle gold duochrome flecks.? This shade has it all; bold color, vampy drama, bright sparkle and a glam rock persona.?"

Now Take a look:

(Artificial light)


(Natural Light)

(natural light) Blurry to show the undertones.


Please support Sickle Cell Anemia!! Wear your Burgundy for Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Month.

I really like Jem. And it reminds me of the old cartoon Jem. Do you remember the cartoon? What do you think?
