So glad that Blogger isn't acting up any more than usual and I can finally get this post out!<br />
<br />
I have been able to wear this mani for a few days since I've taken the pictures and I have fallen in love with it a bit more each day. I admit it. I really like purple. And this color has not let me down. I picked up Revlon's Grape last week when Walgreen's was running a sale on Revlon. They were also having a sale on Sally Hansen, so I picked up a couple of Sally Hansen Xtreme wear polishes. One of them was Rockstar Pink. I sat staring at my new pretties and had an A-HA! moment. I'll put them together!<br />

Grape turned out to be quite lovely on the nail. I would call it more of
an eggplant or aubergine color. It has small red and blue shimmer to it
too. They really blend into the polish, but they give the color so much
depth. I think that is part of the reason I have come to love this
polish.<br />

Rockstar Pink is an amazing glitter bomb. It has fuchsia, red and blue
glitter, and gold microglitter. At least that's what it looks like to my
eyes. There is so much going on in this glitter, it's a little hard to
tell.<br />

I showed this picture a bit fuzzy so you could see all the wonderful glittery goodness in this polish.<br />
<br />
<br />
Application on both polishes was very good. The polish flowed very well and covered beautifully. I used three coats of Grape. I could have probably just used two. However, it is almost impossible for me to not put three coats on. I used one coat of Rockstar Pink on my ring finger for an accent. It covered really well. The glitter is dense enough in this polish you could probably get full coverage in two or three coats all by itself. I was a bit worried that the glitter would be a bit rough, but it only took one coat of Seche Vite to smooth it out. I did put a second coat of SV on, but that was more out of habit than necessity. <br />

I've got on Revlon Grape and a glittery accent nail by way of Sally Hansen's Rockstar Pink. I really like and wanted to share it with you.<br />
<br />
However...<br />
<br />
Blogger is being a dong-a-long (as my eldest would say) and isn't letting me upload any photos. Well, phooey on them!<br />
<br />
Hopefully, I'll be able to get it up in the next couple of days. Friday is my realllllly long day at work, so not sure if I can get to it then, but I'll try Saturday afternoon. (If I don't sleep it away that is.)Nail Nuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00429970306052295896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937515099900867593.post-57010687120294668922012-04-06T05:01:00.004-05:002012-04-06T05:01:59.338-05:00Finger Paints Magnetic EffectsI was in Sally's today (when am I not?) and happen to see a display for new magnetic polishes from Finger Paints. Well, I just had to pick them up. And since Sally is currently running a buy 2 get one free, I grabbed three of the four. I got Electro-Midnight, Cop an Attitude, and Steel of the Night. The only one I didn't get was Hypnotic. It just wasn't doing it for me.<br />

First up is Electro-Midnight. This a a dark blue. With my love for blue polish I certainly couldn't pass this one up. The color and formula on this was really nice. I like the color shift that showed up with the magnet.</div>

<br />
Next is Steel of the Night. A black that shifts to gray and silver. This one is perfect for football season. Go Raiders!!! Once again, it applied very well. And I like the shift. <br />

Last is Cop an Attitude. A beautiful copper polish! If you look at this picture larger you can see these gorgeous red/orange sparkles shining through. Just beautiful!<br />
<br />
Overall, I really liked these polishes. The formula on all three was really nice. The magnet could have been a bit better. I've seen worse though. I've also seen better. The large cap with the magnet does come off to leave a smaller lid behind. All mine came off easily with no problems. I've had some that were practically impossible to get off. The magnet has a lip that you place on or above your cuticle (depends on nail length) to keep the magnet off the polish.<br />

When I bought Whimsical, I bought two bottles. One for myself and one for my <a href="http://nuttyovernails.blogspot.com/2012/03/welcome-back-to-blogging-giveaway.html">giveaway</a>. I knew I wanted to swatch it up for you so you could see all the loveliness of it, but I couldn't decided what base I wanted to use for it. I happened to be reading through my blogs and came across <a href="http://www.lacquermesilly.com/2012/03/24/finger-paints-tiffany-impostor">Lacquer Me Silly</a> where she had just worn Tiffany Impostor. That made me think about For Audrey. And from there it was an easy jump to using For Audrey for my base for Whimsical.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think For Audrey was a good choice for this. However, I wasn't thrilled with Whimsical. I thought the formula was a bit thin and the hex glitter was a bit too sparse. I love the pink and blue hex glitter. I just wish more of it would make it on to the nail. And the iridescent glitter shimmers wonderfully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used two coats of For Audrey and two coats of Whimsical for the photos below. That was then topped with Seche Vite.</div>

I've currently had this mani on for three days and it is holding up better than most. I usually have major chipping after a day at work, but this time I've only had minor chipping. Not sure what was different, but I'm glad for it no matter what it is!<br />

I got my Zoya buy 3 get 3 free in the mail the other day and I planned on swatching them. However, I also picked up Revlon Royal that same day and it sat there on my table screaming at me. It was begging me to put it on. And so I did. I topped it with some stamping done with Sally Hansen Celeb City. I had originally planned to just stamp accent nails on each hand. Planned. Originally. But, I oopsied and stamped the wrong nail on my second hand. That's what happens when you try to stamp and watch TV at the same time. So, I just went ahead and stamped the whole thing.<br />
<br />
I really liked the formula on Royal. This blue is just gorgeous! I had to use three coats to get even coverage though. I tried it with two, but there were a few spots that just looked a bit thin. It looked great after that third coat.<br />
<br />
This is only my second time doing stamping. I think it came out alright. I know I messed up in a couple of places, but overall I think that it looks nice.<br />

YAY! I've missed sitting down at my computer and playing with my pictures and trying to get my posts just right. Of course I'm still learning. I'm just a baby blogger! But, I've decided, in honor of my return to the blogosphere, to have a giveaway.<br />
<br />
I will be giving away three polishes: Revlon Whimsical, Sinful Colors Cinderella, and Hard Candy Beetle<br />
<br />
Giveaway is only open to US residents. Sorry folks! This is my first giveaway and I want to keep it as simple as I can. You must use the Rafflecopter widget. Blog comments will not be added to giveaway.<br />

On March 2, my grandmother (who raised me as her own since I was 3) passed away. I've been focusing on that in my down time instead of my blog. I am hoping to start rolling posts out again in the next week or two. I may even have a giveaway to welcome myself back to the blogging world. It wouldn't be much, but I need something fun right now.<br />

<b><i>What small something would you like to see as part of the giveaway (besides polish)?</i></b>Nail Nuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00429970306052295896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937515099900867593.post-165117919544104372012-03-01T21:49:00.002-06:002012-03-01T21:53:36.010-06:00Swatch Essie - Go Overboard<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked up Essie Go Overboard at my local Walgreen's a couple of weeks ago. I finally got a night where I could swatch it up and show it off. All photos were taken under my Ott Lamp. Since I work nights and sleep days, it is super hard for this vampire to ever see the sun. I think the Ott Lamp does a good job of showing off the true color though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This swatch is a base of Essie Grow Stronger and 2 coats of Go Overboard. I probably could have gotten away with just one coat if I had been a bit more careful of my painting. I probably would have still done a second coat anyway. I find it hard to put less that three coats of polish on, and two is cutting it a bit fine for me. I'm not wearing any top coat in these photos. Just look at the gorgeous shine on there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Essie describes Go Overboard as a "limitless sea blue". I definitely put it in the darker teal category.</div>

I know I could have been a lot neater in my application and should have probably cleaned up a bit. However, I was in a hurry and I didn't think it looked too bad. Until I saw the photos. I promise to try and do better on my next group swatch.<br />
<br />
The application on Go Overboard was spectacular! It covered in almost one coat and probably would have had I used a slightly thicker coat. The brush worked really well and I was able to control it quite easily. The polish you see on my cuticles is from human error, not the brush.<br />
<br />
Overall, I love this polish! I can't think of anything bad to say about it at all.Nail Nuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00429970306052295896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937515099900867593.post-79681882132010591852012-02-23T04:10:00.000-06:002012-02-23T04:10:50.307-06:00Stash ShoppingI got to do a little stash shopping today.

Below you will find my current list of polishes. I've gotten many of them at Sally's in the clearance bin. I don't care if I get them when they first come out, I still love them. I don't have a lot of money to put toward new polishes right now. Hopefully that will change soon. I'm starting to have new polish withdrawals.<br />

I finally was able to pick up my first Zoya nail polishes. I chose Cynthia and Adina. I actually wore Cynthia already, but I was never able to get any decent shots of it. Our weather here has been nothing but overcast and cloudy for the last two weeks.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">That makes it really hard to get good pictures. I resorted to using my Ott Lamp inside. The below pictures are better than the past ones that I have done. They aren't really good yet, but they are getting better. Know what changed that? I finally read my manual. Amazing how much one can learn from reading the manual!</span><br />

I loved this polish, but I did have a bit of a problem with application. The stroke marks are pretty obvious. They aren't too bad, but I can see them. And that makes for a sad nail chickie. The coverage was also a bit thin. It took three coats to reach full opacity and keep me from showing any bare spots.<br />

The color on this is just stunning. And the shift from purple to green is great. I would have given it full marks if the coverage and application had been better.<br />

During the week I would usually touch up my nails as they wear or chip. And that happens A LOT! I work table games in a casino and my hands see a lot of action, especially on the craps table. However, I wanted to show what my nails go through on a weekly basis. So, I left my nail polish on for a week with no touch ups to show what happens to the poor things.<br />

As you can see there is tip wear on all my nails. My right hand is hit the hardest because I am right hand dominant. The thumb and index are used a lot and really chip badly if I don't care for them properly.<br />

But that is the color I chose to wear for this week and so that is going to be my first swatch post. The only photos I have were taken under my Ott Lamp. Today was horribly cloudy and there just wasn't enough light for decent photos.<br />

<b>Name: </b>Ruby Pumps<br />
<b>Manufacturer: </b>China Glaze<br />
<br />
<b>Color: </b>Red Glitter in Red Jelly<br />
<b>Application: </b>Seche Clear base coat. 1 thin coat Ruby Pumps, then 2 medium coats Ruby Pumps. Seche Vite top coat. Ruby Pumps went on very well. The thin coat was a bit streaky, but the next two coats evened it out beautifully.<br />
<b>Overall Impression: </b>5/5 This is a gorgeous nail color and it is easy to see why so many love it. The glitter inside seems to glow and gives Ruby Pumps a very dimensional look. It goes on nice and shiny. Seche Vite just brought out the glow even more.<br />
<br />
<b>Wear: </b>I decided to do a full post about how hard I am on my nails and used this polish to do so. You can find that post<a href="http://nuttyovernails.blogspot.com/2012/02/regular-nail-wear.html"> here</a>.<br />

I have begun collecting polishes. I started a few months ago and have over 100 now. And, of course, I am constantly buying more. I hope to use this blog to show off my collection through photos and swatches. I will also be giving my opinion on said polishes.<br />
