Pink Rubber Nails? Illamasqua says so!

Hey guys! Here today with the other purchase I made at Sephora, one of the new Illamasqua Rubber Brights, this one's name is Devotee. I decided I needed the pink, of course, but then again who's surprised by that? ;) Carly over at Lacquered Lover has swatches of 5 of the 6 in the collection here.

So this polish is pretty cool, it's matte but the finish is just different than anything else I have. It's a super fun bubble gum pink, which my camera had a hard time capturing, but it's beautiful! I used two coats to get the color I have now. I could have done 3 for safe measure but without being able to use a fast dry top coat I didn't want to risk them not drying!

For fun, on my thumb and ring finger I added two coats of an indie polish a friend made, sorry can't give you more info than that! But because it's a pink and green glitter I knew I wanted it! Longish story short, the old man is green and I'm pink, so pink and green ;)

This was such a fun and simple mani I just love it, this shade of pink is perfect for summer!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Julep Suede Amber, Me!

Hey guys! Here today with something I never thought I'd have, a polish with my name, that isn't orange!!

So I had heard about, and also seen on FB that Julep was coming out with a few suede polishes, but since I hadn't gotten one in my Julep Maven box, I hadn't seen them in person yet. So after class I stopped by Sephora, because well it's on my way to the interstate so why not? ;)

Saw the suedes and about fell over dead when I saw "Amber", it would be better if it was pink, but I'll take it! It looks very similar to OPI You Don't Know Jacques Suede, but since I haven't compared them side by side yet I don't know how dupe-y they are. But I also figured I couldn't go wrong with a suede, so what the hell!

This is two coats, with no top coat since that would take away the finish. It applied easily and dried super fast!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Tendresse by Penelope Luz, a Brazilian Indie!

Hey guys! Sorry about the super late post today, I had a few appointments and errands to run this morning so I've been a busy lady!

Here today with a polish made by Penelope Luz, who is a lacquerhead from Brazil. I had the pleasure of being introduced to her by another Brazilian friend, so that she and I could do a swap. Not only did she send me what I asked for from Brazil but she sent some of her indie polishes as well! She has recently made a FB page for her polishes and begun selling them as well, check her out here.

I do own 3 of her other creations as well as two that were made just specifically for me (yay!) but those will all be for another time! Today's post is Tendresse, I used 3 coats with no base color (shock! no undies!) It does look a bit different than in her swatch pics, I'm not sure if she changed the formula a bit or what, but mine has green glitter not blue. Either way I still love it!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

MMMM Sprinkles!

Hey guys! Here today with my very first Nail's Inc. polishes! They both just happen to be from the new sprinkles line. I have now decided I *need* all of them! Not just because they are amazing, but they have cupcakes on the lids! Some of you don't know but I'm in love with cupcakes, my kitchen is even decorated in them ;)

So onto the polish, I used Nail's Inc. Sweets Way and Topping Lane, I did a Carly with how I painted them, using Topping Lane on my pointer, middle and pinky on my left hand, and opposite on the right hand, then did Sweets Way on my thumb and ring finger :)

Each of them is two coats, and even with as much glitter as they have in them, they went on super easy! The first and last picture are both with no flash, and the middle is with flash.

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!
