Frostbite Hottie

I bought cobalt shoes a month ago and I wanted a polish to match. I asked on the Facebook page and the wonderful ladies there gave me several to choose from. China Glaze "Frostbite" really stood out to me. First, I'm falling in love with their lacquers. They apply so well and the colors are EVERYTHING!!

"Frostbite" seems to illuminate in the dark. I don't know why, but driving last night I happened to look down at my nails and they seemed to glow and they are so pretty. I love the color. It has a hint of cobalt blue glitters in it. The glitters don't overwhelm the color they enhance it. The finish is absolutely beautiful and once I added a Seche Vite Top coat the manicure was sealed and so glossy. I'm gushing about it because I love it!! :-) Can you tell?

I've gotten several compliments about this color. Check out the pictures below. (There will be many :-))

This is a close shot. I wanted to show the true color 

and this is pretty close. The blue is... I love it.

Here I'm showing you the color as it compares to the 

"Nivea blue." (I love this Nivea Creme).

I added one accent nail of Sinful Colors "Hottie." 

A Cobalt blue base with lots and lots of sparkly

 glitter throughout.

The camera wouldn't pick up on the Greatness of this glitter.

This polish is packed with glitter. You don't have to fight to 

get the glitter on your nail. It covers the entire nail in one coat,

but as always I did two coats.

China Glaze "Frostbite" and Sinful Colors "Hottie" is a great

combination! The blues are dynamite and are very close to

the blue Nivea uses for it's products. Sinful Colors "Hottie" 

adds enough sparkle to to kick China Glaze "Frostbite" up a 

notch. Not that the China Glaze "Frostbite" needs it at all.

***UPDATE***

I loved this combo so much that I added Hottie to all nails. Take a peek :-)

As always thanks for reading ;-)

Need a Refresh-Mint?

I've been so into Mints polishes. I bought 3 different ones in the same day. I finally decided to use Wet n Wild MegaLast "I Need a Refresh-Mint" and as always I used an accent nail. The accent nail was polished with SinfulColors "Rise and Shine."

Just Like with "Bite The Bullet," the brush that comes with "I Need a Refresh-Mint" is great! One stroke with two coats and your nails looks marvelous. I love the brushes with the new Wet n Wild MegaLast polishes :-) ( to see brush click here)


Here are some pictures of the Manicure:

Although "Rise and Shine" isn't a mint I think it went really well as an accent nail.
I tried to get a close shot here so that you can see the sparkle in "Rise and Shine." It has subtle sparkles of the same Teal-ish color throughout:

SinfulColors "Rise and Shine" has excellent coverage. This is two coats as well. This isn't a sheer polish at all I really loved this color. I loved the combination together. 

What do you think? 

Until next time

Pink & Leopard... & Boozy Brunch

So, I was telling everyone on the Facebook page that I wanted to wear my pink leggings to a party Saturday. After going through lots and lots of shirts I finally decided to go simple black with the bright pink leggings and Leopard Betsey Johnson pumps.

Shirt: It is a plain black tank, but it's Satin! Love it. It has silver beading detailing on the top along with a rose pink that came attached to it. Take a look:

A closer look at the rose.

The pink Leggings are just that:

They are actually really comfy and have real pockets in the back! Love. (from DSW)

THE SHOES! 

You have seen these before, but I don't care. I still love these shoes!

All together now!

It definitely looks much better on, but I didn't take a picture and I'm no Model so...

What do you think? Good shoe choice or do you think I should have been less bold and went with Black boots?

Give me your opinion below:-)

Thanks for reading.

Before I forget, my nails were still L'oreal's Boozy Brunch :-)

Wet n Wild ColorIcon

Wet n Wild ColorIcon polishes are so gorgeous! I absolutely love these polishes! I have 6: Believe Me, It's Real, 24 Carats, Back Alley Deals, Give Me A Price Quote, Diamond In The Rough & Rockin' Rubies. I used 2 coats in each picture and a Seche Vite top coat. My nails were still rough to touch and I would've liked for them to be a little smoother.

Check out these swatches:

No flash and blurry to show the colors in the glitters:

Believe Me, It's Real: Gorgeous Blue Glitter with purple accents! Love this!!

24 Carats: Beautiful Gold bar glitter with bronze bars throughout. This one could have used a 3rd coat.

Back Alley Deals: purple base glitter with pink holo glitter throughout!

This is my Dominant hand and it doesn't look that great. :-/ And this glitter is not forgiving. 

Give Me A Price Quote: least fave and a tad too thick.

 Diamond In The Rough: check out the rainbow colors throughout! This is a gorgeous glitter.

Rockin' Rubies: is just Beautiful! I wore this on Valentine's Day. (click here to view)

I can't tell which is my favorite one. I like them all, however Give Me A Price Quote was my least favorite of the 6. I do think that these could be a tad thinner. They were thick and kind of hard to manage. They are gorgeous though and I will recommend getting these if you can find them in your area. 

They were supposed to be a Walgreens exclusive, but I found these at my local CVS stores. They retail for $2.99. If there are any questions or comments please leave them below :-)

Thanks you for reading, XOXO
