Welcome to my new series Dust It Off. I realized when I took a break from blogging that I have way too much makeup for just everyday use. So now I'm getting back into the swing of things with this new series. Each week I will feature a different product, sometimes old sometimes new. I'll do a short review on the product as well as a look using it.<br />
<br />
I'm going to kick things off this week with the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten and Rendezvous. Smitten it is a lovely pink shade and Rendezvous is a bright orange that is still quite wearable. <br />

Though the packaging and the product itself remind me of Tarte's Lipsurgence i am by far more impressed with this one's performance. <br />

This product leaves my lips feeling moisturized without over saturating them or drying them out. Also unlike other lip stains or long wear lip colors this product does not stay put immediately after application. I dont mean to imply that it bleeds or moves around just that if you apply then eat, drink, kiss your boyfriend, etc... right after you will notice a transfer of color. However, even if you do all these things once the balm does fade away it will leave your lips stained a slightly faded version of the original color. The stain will be all over your lips rather than in patchy sections or all along the outside edge. <br />

This is a product I would definitely recommend. It comes in 12 different shades ranging from neutral wearable colors to bolder colors that are still on the wearable side if that makes any sense. These range from $7-$9 depending on the store you go to. </div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019405434337314930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790381672434225558.post-30010839179658900312012-04-11T23:26:00.001-05:002012-04-11T23:26:14.847-05:008 Bit Cosmetics<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I've finally launched my own cosmetics line. Right now i have 14 different eye shadows for sale on etsy in full and sample sizes with another 7 on the way. This is something i have been working one for the past few months and i couldn't be more excited to finally get it out there. As much as i hate to toot my own horn i cant tell you how amazing it feels to rock the eye shadows i created. Nothing beats getting a compliment and being able to respond with "oh these eye shadows? I made them." All of my shadows are incredibly pigmented and apply super easily.<br />
I've kept it simple with the first three collections. They are all based off the colors of the rainbow.<br />

This was meant to be over UDPP but mine went missing on swatch day (i was so sad). So instead i swatched this batch over Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer after setting it with Hard Candy Welcome Matte.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sorry there isn't a super awesome picture of this collection yet. At first glance there is nothing special about any of the shadows in this collection...Seriously at first glance it is just a bunch of white eye shadows. And while, yes that is technically what this collection is it is also so much more. This collection is also based off the rainbow in that each eye shadow while being white has a shimmer to it that corresponds to the different colors. My favorite part about these shadows is that not only do they make the perfect highlight but also they look completely different when applied over a dark base.</span></span></div>

So for those of you thinking "hey it is Wednesday. Where is the Wore It Wednesday post?" i have something even better for you...a distraction!!! >.< At least it is a good one. Urban Decay is having their Friends and Family Sale. As of yesterday using the code FFSPRING12 you can get 20% off your entire purchase. This sale is going to last until the 10th. The only thing that is excluded is the Naked 2 Palette. Bummer, i know, but honestly i think that the original is just as good as the sequel. Anyways, here are a few things i'm thinking about getting. I doubt i'll get everything on my list but since my tax returns just came in i think i'll let myself dream for a moment.<br />
<br />
Urban Lash Kit<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>This is such an awesome deal cause it is already on clearance. It includes lashes, 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Zero, Urban Lash False Lash Mascara and a lash glue. </li>
</ul>
24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Woodstock and Eldorado<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I am loving liquid liners right now but it seems all i have are black or purple. These liners would be a perfect start to branching out my collection.</li>
</ul>
De-Slick in a Tube<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I feel like my attraction to this product is a little obvious. I'm always on the look out for products that will keep my skin in check. </li>
</ul>
Stardust Eye Shadows<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>These babies are beautiful and jam packed with the sparkly bits. Most aren't opaque but these are more about the glitter than the color....and i love the glitter.</li>
</ul>
24/7 Glide On Shadow Pencils<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>These pencils are amazing. Great pigmentation and they blend like a dream until they set. Once they set they are set. There is no budging them. </li>
</ul>
I'm stopping my list here. I feel like the more i browse the site the more things i see that i "must" have. Haha, there are so many amazing products how about i just link you to <a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/">Urban Decay</a>. I'll update when i know what i am getting. Feel free to share what you plan on getting or suggestions for the rest of us.</div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019405434337314930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790381672434225558.post-52047541379339697202012-03-05T16:12:00.000-06:002012-03-05T16:31:13.320-06:00Bee Colorful Entry<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I figured for this competition i needed to go all out so that is exactly what i did. I had so much fun creating this look. Though i highly doubt i will rock glitter lips on a day to day basis i am loving my multicolored brows.<br />

This look while being super cute and colorful is a bit on the messy side. If you have a glitter polish that works i would use that. I didn't have one in the color i wanted so i used loose glitter instead. Also, to create an even bigger contrast between the accent nail and the rest of my nails i decided to go with a matte pink polish.<br />

Base Coat: Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle<br />
Pink Polish: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Pink Boa<br />
Matte Top Coat: Hard Candy Just Nails in Matte-ly in Love<br />
Base for Glitter: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Hard to Get<br />
Glitter: Teal glitter from the Urban Decay Starlight Glitter Body Art Kit<br />
Top Coat: Sally Hansen No Chip Acrylic Top Coat<br />
<br />
To apply the glitter to my nails i first applied the white nail polish to give it something to adhere to. Then i poured the glitter over my nail, gently pressing it into the polish before tapping away the extra. If your container of glitter has a large enough opening you could just dip your nail but i think that would be even messier than my method. <br />
<br />
That is all for the nails i'll post a link to the look to go with them here as soon as i get it posted.</div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019405434337314930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790381672434225558.post-76987890029783419692012-03-04T16:20:00.000-06:002012-03-04T17:03:00.995-06:00Shout Out Sunday: Xsparkage Inspired Look<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Here is a <a href="http://mintchocobo.blogspot.com/2011/11/halloween.html">link</a> to that if you need a refresher. Anyways, yesterday was her birthday party and i wanted to do something really fun with my make up for the party. I had just watched <a href="http://www.xsparkage.com/?p=4737">Xsparkage's District 6 Tutorial</a> and decided to use her look as inspiration. My look isn't nearly as bright but i'm still happy with it.<br />
<br />
Sorry about the picture quality. I was in a bit of a hurry when i was taking these.<br />

It has been awhile since i have been this excited over a drugstore product. This cream eye shadow is meant to be worn on its own with no primer for up to 24 hours. Despite the claim to being crease proof they aren't on me but given the long wear and color payoff i'm ok with having to apply a primer underneath. I haven't tested to see if these shadows really do last 24 hours but they have lasted up to 16 before it was time to wash off my make up. Over all i am a huge fan of these. Even the misses are still hits. Depending on where you get them they are $6 to $8 for 4grams of product. Now go enjoy some swatches.<br />

<b>Audacious Asphalt:</b> This shade is a dark charcoal with silver reflects. It seems more shiny in the picture than it is in real life. It kind of reminds me of when i used to doodle and accidentally smudged a pencil drawing with my hand. <br />

<b>Painted Purple: </b>I have a love hate relationship with this color. I love love love purple so i hate that it is the worst in this collection. It cant be worn alone and is difficult to apply. If you are willing to put the effort into application Painted Purple does make a great eyeshadow base. I wore Mac's Parfait Amour over Painted Purple the other day and it really made the color pop and last.<br />

<b>Bad to the Bronze:</b> I cant stop thinking of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when i think of this color and if you know what i mean you get some cool points. Anyways, back to the product. This color is a bit more golden than i expected something with the name bronze to be. In any case i love the color and it is so easy to apply. I definitely see myself reaching for this when i only have a few minutes to get ready. <br />

<b>Pomegranate Punk:</b> Though this color is a bit to neutral to be called punk i love it. It is a shimmery pinky burgundy. This shade has great color payoff and is really easy to apply. This is the color i have been wearing most lately. When applied to the lid and blended out it provides a warm wash of color that makes it look like i spent more than five minutes on my make up. <br />

<b>Tough as Taupe:</b> I wasn't drawn to this shade immediately like some of the other colors but it has grown on me quite a bit. It seems to be showing up kind of cement gray in the picture though it is really a light gray with just a hint of purple. This one is great to wear alone or to use as a base for a smokey eye.<br />

<b>Tenacious Teal:</b> This is a beautiful medium blue with just a hint of green and silver shimmer. This reminded me so much of Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide on Shadow Pencil in Clash. Clash is just a little bit brighter.<br />

<b>Edgy Emerald:</b> I am in love with this beautiful teal shade. The name is a little misleading as this is one of the last colors i would think of when thinking of emerald. It is a bit more shear than the others but it is really buildable. <br />
<br />
The only color i don't have from this collection is Too Cool, a frosty white shade. I'll post pictures of that one as soon as i track it down. </div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019405434337314930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790381672434225558.post-91564221274164771902012-03-02T17:07:00.000-06:002012-03-02T17:07:17.702-06:00Funky Friday: The Blues<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

So bad news first, i am not a fan of this product. It is way to creamy to be a good eye liner. Though the color payoff is ok this product is quite difficult to apply. It seems to me that achieving the clean crisp lines liquid liner can give me is just impossible. After finding that was a bust i tried smudging the liner. That looked fine but it wasn't long before the liner had migrated. Not being a fan of giving up all together i am going to try using this as a base for a smokey eye. I think it will work right off the bat but i'll have to keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't crease like i imagine it will.<br />
The only real bright side is the packaging. The beautiful dark silver case is perfect for those on the go. The underside of the lid is a mirror. It is oddly shaped but does the trick in a pinch. The product takes up half the container, leaving some storage space for a dual ended brush. The brush has an angled tip for application and a sponge tip for smudging. <br />

I love this kit. My only complaint so far is that the glitter adhesive stinks to high heaven. It has this very odd metallic scent. The scent does go away as the adhesive dries though so if you can get past the smell for a few minutes you'll be fine. For me, the adhesive works so well that i am willing to put up with the smell. I did my swatches 20 hours ago and the glitter still hasn't budged. I have seen around the web that these glitter tattoos can last from a few days up to a week. The directions say the glitter can be washed off with warm water and soap. I'll let you know how easy it is to remove after i see just how long it can actually hold up.<br />
Though it only comes with five glitters i am happy with the color selection. The set also comes with a variety of stencils. I have yet to use them myself though i have heard that they work well. This kit is definitely worth getting if you like glitter. Use a little to spice up your make up or go all out for a costume party. It is currently on sale so the $12.00 price tag is a steal<br />

These pencils are amazing. The color payoff is so intense. What you see is what you get with the exception of Clash and Delinquent. Clash appears to be a bright blue but when swatched i noticed it actually had silver glitter in it. Delinquent was quite similar in that i thought it was just a deep purple but it turned out to be deep purple with a bright purple/pink glitter. The colors go on incredibly smooth and blend very easily so long as you work quickly. It doesn't take long at all for these to set and once they do they aren't going anywhere.<br />

If you follow my blog you know that recently i figured out how to water marble my nails. Based on my previous experiences i found that this technique is often difficult and incredibly messy. I failed in the past and almost gave up completely. I cant begin to tell you how many people have done the same. I'm all about the good old try try again but for those of you looking to sport this look that have tried one to many times or just don't have the time i decided to start selling water marbled nail sets on Etsy.<br />
<br />
So far i have seven sets for sale pictured below. I plan on adding three more as well as an option where you can choose what colors you would like. I've added the links to the respective Etsy listings where you can find more pictures and descriptions of each of the nail sets. <br />

Yesterday i decided to break out the glitter but ended up with this look instead. I loved it so much i had to share. I used one of the Maybelline Color Tattoos as a base for my eye shadow. I love those. If you haven't tried them yet i suggest you do. I'll have a review and swatches up of those in the next week or so. As for now enjoy this look.<br />

For those of you who follow my blog you have probably notice that i have missed a few posts. Unfortunately with the way work has been going life has been a bit on the hectic side...and that is putting it lightly. I'm thinking of taking the next two weeks off as far as my blog goes. I'd like to try and post random blogs over the next two weeks but i wont start blogging consistently again until the beginning of March. When i come back i will continue my current series as well as post a video on my whole make up collection as well as some storage ideas. Until then i'll leave you with my long overdue Ulta Haul. Enjoy :)<br />

Since i was shopping online and couldn't see the product in real life i decided to get two shades to be sure i would get one that would work for me. There isn't much difference between the two. Auburn is just slightly redder than light brown.<br />

While i love the color payoff of these liners they are a bit drying. When using these i would start off with a lip primer or moisturizer.<br />

Like the lip liners these lipsticks are also on the drying side. At least the color pay off is nice. Speaking of color make sure to check out swatches of any product you are thinking of buying online. While Louisiana is my favorite of the four based on Ulta's pictures i thought i was getting a completely different shade. <br />

I really like this blush. It has great pigmentation. It was actually more pigmented than i thought it would be. The first time i used it i was WAY to heavy handed with it. Anyways, when used properly this is a very nice and natural blush. My only problem so far was with the packaging after having this blush for just a few weeks the lid broke off. </div>

These glitters are amazing. They are so pretty and the texture is a lot finer than i expected. Apple, Hot Pink and Purple while being predominantly red gold, pink and purple respectively all have a blue and green sparkle to them as well. The gold glitter actually makes me think of Fool's Gold. The texture is quite fine. It is still a little gritty as i expected but i don't think that it cause problems when applied to the eye. <br />

I bought this product to use as a base for the glitter. I haven't used it on the eye yet, just for swatching but i think it works well so far. It goes on clear and is sticky enough to make a good base for the glitter without being uncomfortable.<br />

Though i thought i was buying another black eyeliner i'm actually ok with the charcoal shade. It is quite pigmented and so easy to apply. I think that is because of the long handled applicator. It dries so quickly that it is perfect for the morning rush.<br />

Another one of my favorite ways to bring color to a neutral look is by using a colored eyeliner. My favorite way to do this is is by applying a liquid liner to my upper lash line and winging it out slightly. Another way you can use a colored eye liner to make a neutral look pop is to apply it right beneath the lower lash line. For that i would recommend using a pencil liner. To make it last all day you can smudge it out slightly then set it with an eye shadow in the same color or a translucent powder.<br />

I'm still in that new shiny toy phase and after yesterday's mess of a manicure i wanted to not only redeem myself but also my Konad. I have to say in my opinion did just that. I picked an ivy like pattern to go over the copper polish thinking it would come out looking like lace...Not really sure how got to that conclusion. Anyway, thanks to my poor aim though the stamp had picked up the entire design only 2/3 made it on my nail. Surprisingly it still looked good and made me realize that by allowing the design to be slightly off center it gave each nail a unique look. I decided not to use a top coat for this manicure. It is a little hard to tell in the picture but the black dries kind of dull and matte. Normally i would add a little shine so it could stand out but i just love the contrast between the shimmery copper and the matte black.<br />

So far i have used it four times. The first time was just to get a feel for the process and to see what the colors looked like when applied. After that i set out to create a proper nail look. I decided to use a bright yellow base with zebra print and stars in the Princess Pink polish. A few nails came out a little off center, and the top coat i used smudged the design a bit but overall i was happy with the nail look. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Unfortunately i didn't take pictures of that before it started to chip.<br />
Since i didn't get pictures of that i decided to try again just so i had pictures for today. That attempt did not go well at all. I was going for a cute Valentine's Day themed manicure. Had a light pink base with hot pink lips, black hearts, and white I<3U's. So cute in theory but it was nothing but a hot mess. I got two lips on my nails and a few hearts but for everything else i tried the stamp was only picking up partial designs or smearing the designs when i applied them.<br />

Today i started from scratch. I kept the light pink base but decided to use a diamond print in black instead. I applied the print all over my nails with the exception of my thumbs. The design was a little to small to fit on my thumbs so i decided to only cover the upper third of my nails. This manicure worked for the most part. Well, there are actually a lot of flaws but they are the kind that can be eliminated by practice, patience, and a top coat that wont smudge the design. Anyway, i like it so far i just need to get more practice in. Also sorry about the extra polish around my nails in the pictures. I didn't time to clean up before work.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Awhile back i purchased three Get the Look Kits from ELF. The appeal of this brand is the price of the products. Single items range in price from $1-$7. Sounds to good to be true and normally it is but they do have several products that are more than worth the money you'll pay for them. Each Get the Look Kit is $7 and with that you will get three eye shadows, and eyeliner, mascara, an eye shadow brush, two sponge tip applicators and a pair of false lashes with glue. The best part of these kits are by far the eye shadows. I was skeptical at first but blown away when i swatched them. Each kit included the same set of false lashes and eye shadow brush though the eyeliner and mascara colors varied from kit to kit.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I really like these lashes. They are a little to long for a natural look but natural isn't really my thing so they work for me. I don't wear false lashes often so i thought i would run into trouble trying to apply these but it was so much easier than i thought it would be. As nice as the lashes are the glue isn't. While these lashes would be perfect for someone new to false lashes the glue is no good. When i wore these i spent half the day feeling like the lashes were coming off. I would recommend using a different glue. </div>

While i didn't expect much from a $1 brush i am happy with it and continue to use it to this day. Though there is some fallout this isn't a bad brush for the price. </div>

These mascaras are definitely not the selling point for these kits. Though they are called Length and Defining Mascaras they didn't really do much for the appearance of my lashes and felt kind of cheap and plastic-y. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As i said before the eye shadows are by far the best part of these kits.</span> Though there is a little fallout these shadows are soft and so much more pigmented than i thought they would be. On top of that they all blend incredibly easily.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Basic Browns</b></div>
This set has a cream, light brown and dark brown shadow and a brown eyeliner. This set is perfect for an everyday neutral look. I love the shadows but i'm not really a fan of the brown eyeliner. It doesn't last very long on the water line and i am not personally a fan of using pencil liners on my upper lash line. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Dramatic Eyes</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This kit is perfect for a night out. Though i had the same problem with the eyeliner included, this one being black, the shadows are once again impressive. If nothing else the pigmentation of the black eye shadows is amazing for not only a $1 shadow but really for any eye shadow. The downside to this kit is that the blacks are a little to similar to each other to notice much of a difference when applied. Also, the white shadow isn't very pigmented at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH2rNcVG7xAaMlOVQbF7RC6DJzerp2EFymIhOYJ_RrGx46_iYSX_k7eQkXCZjK17MsxTr6Zu4vxIzAXGbM65XzOexSvrmSpTpopNsrXJZ2v90wEf-upV3e-2AO_jg8hMQLYxeTLWwZjYX-/s1600/PIC_0590.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH2rNcVG7xAaMlOVQbF7RC6DJzerp2EFymIhOYJ_RrGx46_iYSX_k7eQkXCZjK17MsxTr6Zu4vxIzAXGbM65XzOexSvrmSpTpopNsrXJZ2v90wEf-upV3e-2AO_jg8hMQLYxeTLWwZjYX-/s320/PIC_0590.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Purple Perfection</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This kit contains shadows to create a simple purple look. It is good for those who want to embrace a softer side of color. Though these colors aren't the first i would think of when going for a simple purple look they are nice and get the job done.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If nothing else these kits would be great for someone just starting to build their collection, especially if they are on a budget. Though the kits contain a few items that could use improvement the false lashes and eye shadows more than make this $7 kit worth it. </div>

Today's look is all about my favorite X-Man. This powerful mutant's ability to heal paired with his adamantium claws make him a force to be reckoned with. Rather than drawing inspiration from recent movies or comics i decided to go with a look inspired by his old costume. <br />

Only difference is instead of some fun funky eyeshadow this week's look is all about lips. By keeping the look on my eyes simple i can wear a bold lip color without the all over look being over the top. While for this 50's inspired look my first thought on lips is a traditional red, for this look i decided to go with a more modern blue based pink.<br />

I haven't used crackle polish in months though when i did my Hulk look i thought China Glaze's Fault Line over Sally Hansen's Limestone would make the perfect matching manicure. With the crakle back on my nails i couldn't help but wonder how it would look with a swirling design beneath the crackle rather than a single color. Though this manicure did not turn out quite like i had pictured i do like how it turned out. <br />

I'm sure by now most of you have either heard about or seen Konad nail stamping art. This post is mostly for those who haven't. After months of debating on getting this i finally did. Though i am still waiting on a few polishes and the stamp i have already received two polishes and the 21 piece set of Bundle Monster image plates.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEC3IHXObJNbD3ijz_sI8f1zFVH5YtROaAq1dwAOdAt3q4hOPIw5U7ouHM4NZ_EHCSfJ5eYQTSo8wdtB6G3FViueM2o8ZjlS_-6EltmgszgfJyz_8dfJv07EN4ARLH9nMxJcbQw3wPg8E3/s1600/product+pics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEC3IHXObJNbD3ijz_sI8f1zFVH5YtROaAq1dwAOdAt3q4hOPIw5U7ouHM4NZ_EHCSfJ5eYQTSo8wdtB6G3FViueM2o8ZjlS_-6EltmgszgfJyz_8dfJv07EN4ARLH9nMxJcbQw3wPg8E3/s200/product+pics.jpg" width="200" /></a><b>Konad Nail Stamping Art:</b><br />
I've been really excited about Konad ever since i first heard of it. It has the potential to make amazing intricate nail art insanely easy. The idea is that you apply the special polish to an image plate and scrape away the extra polish. Next using the stamping tool pick up the polish from the image plate and press it on the the nail. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcQE84UiJox8E0ouhsydNgKjoI0TrLmq-2-L8SGSoI_7nhhzrwLswNIZSaazYvGchU0zC2kxFcm82Ll0VPsWKcrD8Jx8ZWJ1Y8FArlId6Y1B4CadHiPGiJYBQvp5NK_-T1OsuEqpORHuC/s1600/PIC_1178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcQE84UiJox8E0ouhsydNgKjoI0TrLmq-2-L8SGSoI_7nhhzrwLswNIZSaazYvGchU0zC2kxFcm82Ll0VPsWKcrD8Jx8ZWJ1Y8FArlId6Y1B4CadHiPGiJYBQvp5NK_-T1OsuEqpORHuC/s320/PIC_1178.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Special Polish:</b><br />
While you can use regular nail polish it doesn't tend to have the same results. That is why they make a special polish that is designed just for use with the Konad. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiLNgtURdeByh6QpCBdcC6pLqj9n_-_vK8GRP7AejmXdIOHLfwLQMAxAM4qu1HVNMgBD-4FzcKNBYFGYer5DrWLm-W7bke8KsGtb8UAJxX_8ctKXHYfacbHCIOhyphenhyphenGJtgF71oQEkkNknKaw/s1600/PIC_1179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiLNgtURdeByh6QpCBdcC6pLqj9n_-_vK8GRP7AejmXdIOHLfwLQMAxAM4qu1HVNMgBD-4FzcKNBYFGYer5DrWLm-W7bke8KsGtb8UAJxX_8ctKXHYfacbHCIOhyphenhyphenGJtgF71oQEkkNknKaw/s320/PIC_1179.JPG" width="320" /></a><b> </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Bundle Monster image plates:</b><br />
I feel like i should say these plates are a lot smaller than i expected them to be. While the plate itself is not much smaller than the Konad plates the images are definitely smaller. On the Bundle Monster plates the "full nail" images aren't quite that. While they should fit fine over my nails fine i don't think that it will cover my entire thumb nail. That i can get past that though because out of all the plates there are enough images to match a full nail image to a single image. You can see to the left how the single star matches the stars on the full nail image. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4DWZxCI9uzmmPzCeRX88aR3S3xG0A4mV-N6RfYg2x11agxVXFVOSSnm1G13JvDVJs_L7m8bGE-LdNGYw1tpF9_5bclv9LbcxVKY3ePu5nAXjlIIrMnJ2lQzj7w3Nrz0i_1J_H8-_oXvH/s1600/PIC_1180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4DWZxCI9uzmmPzCeRX88aR3S3xG0A4mV-N6RfYg2x11agxVXFVOSSnm1G13JvDVJs_L7m8bGE-LdNGYw1tpF9_5bclv9LbcxVKY3ePu5nAXjlIIrMnJ2lQzj7w3Nrz0i_1J_H8-_oXvH/s320/PIC_1180.JPG" width="320" /></a>There are also plates like these that allow for an intricate tip rather than a full nail design. <br />
<br />
Like i said before i am still waiting on the rest of my polishes and the stamp. I know how this works in theory i'll let you know next week how it actually worked out.</div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019405434337314930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790381672434225558.post-57047613238644333692012-01-28T16:54:00.002-06:002012-01-28T17:07:11.055-06:00Swatchapalooza Saturday: Sally Hansen Nail Polish<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I think this is because the brand's quality and price meet in a way that don't make me feel bad for splurging on nail polish while not making me feel like i just wasted my money on bad polish. More often than not it only takes one to two coats for the polish to be opaque and streak free. The only polishes that i have had trouble with were the glitter polishes. Though glitter polishes and i don't tend to get along very well for starters. Anyways, enough of my rambling. I own 23 polishes from Sally Hansen and below are pictures of each polish. Enjoy. <br />

It is not a very opaque polish but i don't think it was meant to be.<br />
<u>White Tip:</u> Glossy white. This one takes about 3 coats to be opaque and streak free.<br />
<u>620 Limestone:</u> Creamy grass green. I love this green. It is opaque in two coats and is very unique to my collection.<br />
<u>680 Frozen Solid:</u> Shimmery icy blue.<br />
<u>840 Ice Queen:</u> Glitter polish with small silver glitter with blue and lavender hexagon shaped glitter. Took about 3 coats to get that much glitter on the nail. As cool as this on looks it is a bit more trouble than it is worth.<br />

<u>07 Cherry Red:</u> This is the perfect red in my book. Not to light or to dark nor is it orange or berry toned.<br />
<u>17 Ivy League:</u> Light grassy green with gold shimmer. This is the perfect polish for spring.<br />
<u>22 Gunmetal:</u> Blue toned metallic dark gray. Though it takes some work to be streak free this polish is opaque after one coat. <br />
<u>40 Purple Pizzazz:</u> Very blue purple with light purple glitter. This one takes three coats to be opaque but i bet it would look amazing over a black polish.<br />

<u>140 Rockstar Pink:</u> Glitter polish with pink, red, blue and silver glitter. While this polish doesn't put up to much fuss when being applied over a false nail when i tried it on my own nails it did not work at all. Rather, to apply the needed amount of polish for it to be opaque on my nails was just to much for it to be worth it. So disappointing as this polish looks amazing on the false nail. <br />
<u>150 Sun Kissed:</u> True orange. I cant think of anything besides oranges when i look at this polish. It is really creamy and is opaque in one to two coats. <br />
<u>220 Celeb City:</u> Shimmery silver. I love this polish. It needs two coats to be opaque but after that it looks like i'm wearing tin foil on my nails...in the good fashion-y way.<br />

<u>290 Crushed:</u> Red/orange with a gold/orange shimmer. This polish i beautiful. When paired with a black crackle polish i swear it looks volcanic.<br />
<u>300 White On:</u> Creamy white. This is my favorite white nail polish. Seriously i'm on my third bottle. This white is actually opaque in one to two coats and is not dull or flat like other whites i have seen.<br />
<u>320 Fuchsia Power:</u> Bright rosy pink. This polish is just a few shades lighter than Fuchsia Bling Bling and just as opaque.<br />

<u>370 Black Out:</u> Black. This black is opaque in one coat which is why i love it. It was the first black polish i ever used that didn't look watery or like charcoal until coat three. <br />

<u>450 Caribbean Coral:</u> Creamy reddish coral. This polish is opaque in one to two coats. Since this polish is new to my collection i haven't worn it yet but i'm really excited to use this this summer.

08 Ink Splatter: I was actually really impressed by this polish. As much as as i liked the other Sally Hansen polishes i didn't think a drug store crackle polish could compare to my China Glaze polishes. Thankfully i was wrong. I do like how this polish crackles and with the range of colors available i don't knot why i don't have more yet.<br />
<br />

Well that does it for my Swatchapalooza/review of all of my Sally Hansen nail polishes. Bonus point for you if you stuck with me through the whole thing.<br />

Today's look is inspired by you guessed it, (probably from reading the title) the Hulk. Dr. Bruce Banner is a modern day Dr. Jeckyll /Mr. Hyde. Due to an accident where Banner was exposed to large amounts of gamma radiation when Banner is put under a great deal of stress, normally anger induced, he will transform into the human like creature known as the Hulk. Banner's intelligence when paired with the Hulk's seemingly limitless strength, stamina, and healing factor made him a perfect candidate for the Avengers. <br />

While last week's Wore It Wednesday was all about the neutral shades the next few weeks are going to be all about color. I know i for one used to think that for a nice wearable look it had to be gray or brown. Over the next few weeks i'll be sharing my favorite ways to bring a pop of color to my everyday make up while still keeping it neutral. <br />

Just like this winter should be and isn't. Oh well, this wintry manicure is cool enough for me. It is a shimmery icy blue with a coat of silver and blue glitter over it. While i liked how this manicure turned out it was quite difficult to achieve the look i was going for. It was so difficult to apply the glitter polish to the point that i almost felt like pouring the bottle out onto my nails would have been an easier option. If you feel like taking the time to deal with the glitter polish go for it. If not to achieve a similar look i would try using regular glitter instead.<br />
