Sort of a nerdy robot theme going on. I used BM-609, and BM-415. Apologies for the state of my cuticles, etc. I've been lazy and it's dry and cold where I am.<br />
<br />
The stampers are interesting. I didn't snap a pic, but it's the set BM sells with 2 stampers and 2 scrapers. They both pick up fine. I prefer the silicone, personally, but the long rectangular shape is weird. Takes some getting used to. I did one hand with the new ones, and went back to my usual stamper after that.<br />

There's a few images in this new one that get me, for sure. The skeleton cameo on BM-612, the dinosaurs on BM-611, the patchwork on BM-608, the birds on BM-614, and the buttons on BM-619. A big shout out to the girls who submitted those especially. You rock.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I ordered these on Friday when they were released, and got them in the mail on Monday. Cheers to you, Bundle Monster. That was lightning fast!!<div>

Now for a look at the pix:</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Hey you. So I have been using gel polishes more and more lately. Originally I got the Knock out Nails system to try and combat or at least protect my weakening nails. It came with a UV lamp and a special UV nail hardener. I used it for months to give it a fair shot, but it just wasn't for me. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I ended up not liking the fact that it didn't soak off. I would often be left with lifting at the cuticle. Which, in turn, led me to have to do fills, essentially, of the hardener. And after a significant amount of time passed, I realized that it was doing nothing to actually strengthen my nails. Meaning, yes. My nails were stronger with the product on them. But once it was removed, not so much. O.o </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I tried all kinds of hardeners/strengtheners. Garlic, formaldehyde, etc. I wanted to try Qtica by Zoya, but didn't ever foot the bill. Then, I came across this Red Carpet Manicure line at my local grocery store (Ulta exclusive? NOT...!). And had to try it out. At the very least, the gel polish would stay on my nails for a couple weeks and in turn strengthen my nails while they had time to grow some. And if I wantd to, I could polish on top of that and even change my polish every other day or so without damaging the gel too much. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I gave it a shot! And I'm glad to say I liked it. I've been too busy with work to do a mani every day or 2 or 3 anyway, so it's or is for me for now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And the plus side is the strength it gives my weakest nails while they grow. AND the fact that can also repair breaks when they happen with the gel a la <a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oI1pSidFqho" target="_self" title="Nail fix using gels video">loodieloodieloodie</a>..</div>
<br>
<div>So then, the next natural progression was to find out all the nifty new nail art I can do with gels that I can't do with regular polish. ;0)</div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="500" height="305" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YOweiILozyc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
<div>And after searching youtube, I came up with this. Except he uses gel top coat to dot on the design. I tried that, and since top coat has a bad habit of melting and pooling everywhere, it was kind of messy. So I kept searching, and found someone reference using base coat instead. DING DING DING!!! My RCM base gel is all sticky and perfect for this technique. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's super easy to do, too. You can use regular polish for the bottom color, but you have to use gel for the top. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Once you're ready, and your bottom color is dry or cured, paint a thin coat of the top color (I used black here) but don't cure it just yet. I like to do this one nail at a time. So I get the best most crisp design. The longer the gel has to sit on the nail (while you dot the design on the rest of the nails for ex), the more it will deform as it warms up and spreads out. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So do it like this. Cure the bottom color layer. Then working one nail at a time, paint a thin coat of black. Then use a dotting tool to dot the base gel all in whatever pattern you want to on the nail. Then once you're all done with THAT NAIL, flash cure it for a few seconds to set it. That way it won't move all around while you do there rest of the nails.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Continue this way until the last nail (on that hand, anyway), and cure for the full time (my base gel says 1 min but I did 2 cause it's kinda a thick layer). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then top coat it and you're done! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here's some swatch-sickles I made to try different color combos:</div>

OMG, this polish is so awesome! Lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought I was over magnetics for now. We've seen so many of them from almost every brand including china glaze, wet n wild, Layla, random grocery store brands, Sally Hansen, etc. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This, however, my friends, is something I at least, had <em>not</em> seen. A magnetic polish that is also a wonderful glittery shimmery DUOCHROME. <br />
<br />
Yup, you read that right. Sinful Polar Opposites is a Duochrome Magnetic polish!!! "Duochrome Magnetic polishes EXIST!?!?" Yes, dear reader, they do <em>now</em>. And FYI, sinful has done a pretty bang up job on this one. Amazingly, for a five dollar bill, <em>you</em> could be the proud new owner of such a beauteous lacquer, too! =0) <br />

Can you see the beautiful blue to teal to purple shift going on here!? I saw these recently at Target and at first didn't think I'd pick any up. Then I saw this little gem. I could tell even in the store lighting that it would be a beaut. Boy was I right! I love this polish, can you tell!? =0) <br />
<br />
It has your typical grey magnetic particles and chatoyance, but the polish you see everywhere else on the nail is a beautiful blue-ish teal-ish shimmer. I don't think it's quite a glitter polish, but maybe more of a heavy glass fleck? I'm not positive- I'm terrible at naming finishes. =0P What I <em>do</em> know is it took a little bit of elbow grease to remove. <br />
<br />
The amazing part, though, is the color shift. This baby changes from the blue teal colors to purple at some angles/ in some light. It's just so cool. And I found it to be reasonably strong, too. Not a super shy duo like some others out there. Yay!<br />

The other great thing about this polish, aside from the gorgeous color, duochrome quality, and the awesome price point, is the magnet they include with it. I didn't think to snap a pic (my bad, totally! I can if you want me to!!!), but it's basically a plastic ring that comes attached to the cap. It's super strong so the design comes out crisp and nice, and it's just so convenient to use! Keep it on your finger, then when it's time, swing it around and use it, then flip it back to get it out of the way. You won't drop it, and the whole thing takes less time, I find. Awesome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
No, sinful did not send me free polish nor pay me for this review. I just loved this polish so much I had to share. =0) <br />
<br />
Next up, playing with the new China Glaze magnet 2.0. Should be fun, and I promise to take lots of pics!<br />
<br />
What do you guys think!? Are you LOVING the idea of a magnetic duo? Or are you just sick of magnetics altogether?? <br />

Long time, no post, huh?!<br/><br/><br><p>Sorry 'bout that! I've been SUPER busy and have lots of news!!! =0) </p><br><p>Most exciting news first, </p> I have an iPad!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it!?!?!? I still have trouble remembering that it's real. I swear I never thought I'd have one! =0) I've had a flip phone for the last, let's see... 5 years? MORE!?!? So, yeah. Technology doesn't find me very easily much to my dismay...! <br/><br/>So when I was gifted an ipad recently, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY with how cool it is. Seriously loving it and catching up on tons of lost time- downloading apps, taking pics, etc. Living the mobile life! Lol<br/><br/>Next coolest thing is that MASH sent me a new plate set to review. I've not ever received any products for review until then (or...well...now?), so it's s pretty big deal to me. I have been playing with it for sometime now so I have lots of pictures to share with you guys! Which is the reason I wanted to wait to do the post- I like regular blogger reviews that show an example mani, but I thought it would be AWESOME to wait on the review until I could show a TON of example manis. So that was my strategy... =0) <br/><br/><em>Next</em> next, I should be receiving a set from CHEEKY very soon to review for you guys, also. Yes, I <em>am </em>super freaking out excited!!!!! Lol. I know we all (well,many of us, anyway!) have been waiting for what feels like FOREVER for CHEEKY to release their "Summer Set." Well, they are doing a short pre-sale right now, and will release the set "for real" very soon! YAYYY!!!<br/><br/> Now, the pic you saw at the beginning of this post was a mani I did a few weeks ago. The base isOPI Swimsuit Nailed It, and I painted the UK flag with polish stripers. I kinda suck (I think, anyway) at painting nail art by hand. However, the union jack is a pretty forgiving patter to do. I kinda just winged it and I thought it turned out pretty cute!<br/><br/>=0) <br/><br/><a name='more'></a><p> Next up is a punk rock crackle mani that I shamelessly copied from another blogger (i think? If it's yours, let me know so I can credit you!) Although, I did add the 3rd color (the neon yellow-green) - she had used (just!) pink, black, white, and grey.

I have a pretty dotticure for you all today. I modeled this mani after a little makeup pouch I got from Target for like a dollar or two. I always loved the color scheme and the design. So, of course I wanted to translate that into a mani for like EVER! haha! But it took me some months to get around to doing it. Also, this was my very first dotticure where I cover my nails with dots and don't just do a random pattern on a portion of the nail. Mama is proud! ;0)<br />

For this mani I used a bunch of colors! I actually could NOT believe that I had in my stash colors that worked PERFECTLY for this and matched the bag like, <i>exactly</i>!<br />

I used it till it was ragged, of course! And my bed looked like a pimped out pimp bed for that time.... =0P<br />

*I usually don't wait very long before stamping on magnetic polish- if you put top coat on too soon and aren't careful enough, you'll drag the particles and smear the design. But (from my experience) for stamping, dry to the touch is OK and won't mess up the design.*</div>

I find myself layering magnetics a lot lately. I've found that some are more sheer than others. If you find yourself a sheer-ish mag., you can use it for layering like I've done here. <br />
<br />
It may be hard to tell, but using the Essence polish as undies for the China Glaze gives this mani a little extra depth and flair.<br />
<br />
I've also found the Gunmetal Layla magnetic to be great for layering over shimmery or metallic colors. I should do a post on that later, but definitely experiment! I found Gunmetal looks great over China Glaze Moonpool and Cat's Eye (I know, I know, but I had just found them both at a dusty so I was playing with them anyway!). If anyone wants proof, it can be arranged... =0)<br />
<br />
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Comments / questions are welcomed. Thanks! </div>

<br />
I know I used the star image last time, but I just couldn't help myself! Having too much fun with these new (to me) plates!<br />
<br />
I wanted to practice getting the design in the center of my nail by the cuticle and I thought the continuity of having all nails the same was a nice change of pace (from having an accent nail).<br />
<br />
Plus, I mean, come on. Who doesn't love the nautical look!? AND china glaze First Mate IS a pretty awesome blue (a one coater on most nails)!<br />

</tbody></table>So, for this crazy awesome look, I used my GOSH holographic as a base (well, I used Nfu Oh aqua base first!), then I stamped the leopard from Konad plate M57 with Color Club Revvvolution, then I added some teal dots with China Glaze DV8. *few!*<br />
<br />
I think it turned out pretty awesome sauce. What do you guys think? Are you all as crazy for leopard and holo as I am? I mean, I love them each separately, but together!? ahhhh, together they're truly heavenly. <br />
<br />
Btw- an update for those of you who were nice enough to send good vibes our way for my kitty Hunter. He had a much better day today. Still pretty tired and slow, but he's eating and his tummy wasn't upset like yesterday. So a big THANK YOU is in order to all my girls out there. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">We're not exactly sure how old the guy is because we adopted him from the SPCA in Santa Cruz and they had no record of his age. Apparently he had been in and out of the shelter a few times before we took him to his forever home. Poor guy. But his life after has been nothing but WONDERFUL! He has a lot to live for. </span><br />

I was really wanting the new Essie "School of Hard Rocks," but I just don't feel right paying such high prices for a cream polish I can make at home for MUCH less money.<br />
<br />
So I made it myself! =)<br />
<br />
At lease I think I did! lol. I compared it to the Essie at the store and I'm sure they're VERY close! ;)<br />

</tbody></table>Anyway, when I first made it it was too green. And not dusty enough! But I think this time it's right on!<br />
<br />
A dusty green-is blue-ish teal color that's neither too dark or too light. It's so gorgeous! And very pigmented as well! This is 2 coats with SV on top. Sigh. I think I'm in love!<br />
<br />
For this franken I used a dusty green base (the ULTA version of OPI JITNB) and added a bright blue polish from dollar tree, some white, and some black. Rinse and repeat until it looks right! Plus I always have to add a bunch of thinner cause doing that much bottle opening and shaking makes things rather goopy.<br />
<br />

I think I might be the last to find out about this but here goes anyway!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A STAR MAGNET!?!</span><br />
<br />
OMG I'm so excited! lol<br />
I hear there's going to be 12 colors and it looks like maybe just the 2 magnets- the "line" pattern we're all used to seeing (ie layla magneffects) and a star magnet (which I've been dying for ie lancome). yay!<br />
<br />
Wow. And my Sally's is probably already sick of me calling every other day asking about the Finger Paints Special Effects Collection. I feel a repeat of this situation coming on whenever these will be released! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> XD</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I hope you all had a great xmas or holiday whatever you celebrate! We took it pretty easy here with our kitties. But it was a good day filled with yummo food and lots of furry love and kisses. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">*Edited 3/2/2012*</span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm not sure what's up with Lynnderella these days,<span style="font-size: large;"> her blog has been taken down and/or is set to private. I do not have access to her blog.</span> I don't even *know* lynnderella! Why people keep asking me to give them access to *her* blog is beyond me. If I could help, I would. I have <span style="font-size: large;">removed comments to this post</span> if you have left your email address<span style="font-size: large;"> asking to be given permission to her blog</span> or asking to buy polish. I'm sorry guys, but I've given you any and all the information I have! </span></span> </h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--> Newsflash! <--</span></h4>
Lynnderella polishes are<span style="font-size: large;"> not my doing</span>. She is a separate and <span style="font-size: x-large;">wonderful </span>lady who sells her polish creations from <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">her own blog</span></b>. You can find her blog <a href="http://lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.com/">here</a>. <b>(as of now she has set her blog to private- please don't ask me for an invite as I have no affiliation with her and do not have access to her blog myself anymore)</b><br />
<br />
I've gotten so many people asking me how to buy Snow Angel and other polishes-<br />
<br />
I just wanted to clear that up. I didn't make them! Lynn did! =0)<br />
<br />
LOL.<br />
<br />
I was just lucky enough to have them gifted to me, and thought I'd show them to you.<br />
<br />
So, once again. If you love lynnderella polishes (and why wouldn't you!?) but you can't figure out where or how to by them, go to Lynn's blog and keep an eye out. She has blog sales every once in a while, but they sell out quickly so be on your toes!!!! <br />
<br />

If you're interested in other lovelies, just check out my own blogsale at the top of the page. Fair warning, though, I need to update the list as I have sold a few of them. If in doubt, ask me! =)<br />
<br />
Thanks lovelies! Love and Nail Polish...... to ALL!!!!!!<br />

<br />
just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. I feel like such a poop head for having a giveaway and trying to get all these new followers and then lagging on my blog. =0(<br />
<br />
We just have a lot going on at the moment. Computer problems, life stuff, etc.<br />
<br />
I'm DEFINITELY GOING TO COME BACK ASAP tho! I have a ton of pix to share with you guys!!!!!<br />
<br />
Until then, I wanted to let you all know I've added some choice polishes to my blogsale!<br />
<br />
so I'll try to keep posting when I can, but just know I'm thinking about you guys! and love you guys! and am definitely still obsessing over polish! LOL<br />
<br />

</div> anyhoo. This post is all about my brown polishes. Well, some of them anyway.<br />
<br />
Fall is fast approaching and if you're like me, you will reach for brown polish more than once as the seasons change. I have a gorgeous shimmery drug store brown to show you and a comp between a drug store polish and an OPI. Let's get started!<br />
<br />
First up is one of the Revlon Top Speed polishes that came out a while back. This one is Espresso.<br />

It's a very nice medium to dark brown with shimmer I'd say. When I first picked it up I didn't notice the shimmer. Not until I opened up the bottle. But once I realized it was there I was thrilled! 'Cause how often do you find a brown with shimmer? *hint* NEVER! ahaha. oh, well... once anyway!<br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;">I think the photos pretty clearly illustrate the difference between the two. YDKJ is clearly darker, but they are sister polishes. In real life the difference is not as pronounced as in the pix- but in very bright light this is what you'd see. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">In conclusion, I like YDKJ better. Tauped is a very similar polish and a great option for people who can't (or won't) get their hands on the OPI. Plus SK polish is cheaper at $5 per bottle at Target vs $8.50 for the OPI. ;) </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">I will say I like the formula on the OPI better, but that pro-wide brush gives me trouble sometimes. It's funny- sometimes I can get away with using the pro-wide and need only minimal cleanup. Other times, though, it feels super fumbly and gets polish every where.</div>Lacquerishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17705005917487632367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3611734157558721035.post-48418174797337444162011-07-25T09:00:00.001-07:002022-03-20T08:17:43.782-07:00Lynnderella Snow Angel Giveaway! *CLOSED!*GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
