China Glaze Rose Among Thorns (Neon)

     How is everyone's week so far? I can't wait until tomorrow at about 6:15, because then it's time to get ready for our YARD SALE and then DATE NIGHT with the hubby! Can you say FUN? lol ;)
     This post features an awesome neon jelly that I found at Sally's Beauty Supply a few months back ~ China Glaze Rose Among Thorns (Neon).
     The pictures below are two very effortless coats of Rose Among Thorns, and can I just say that China Glaze never ceases to amaze me with their great formula. China Glaze truly is my favorite mainstream polish brand. I love the selection of colors, the price, and the awesome formula.
     I didn't realize how BRIGHT Rose Among Thorns is until I went outside. Wowzer, it is definitely neon! I love it! :)
     Check out the pictures....

     Rose Among Thorns is opaque enough to cover, but sheer enough to look like rock candy! I can only begin to imagine the different "glitter sandwiches" one can make with this polish! 

Sinful Colors Daredevil

     Wow! This might just be my favorite pink nail polish to date!! I mean it is just bright, fluorescent, bubblegum pink! Sinful Colors just keeps knocking out one great nail polish after another, and Daredevil is definitely one of them!
     I stumbled upon Daredevil back Sinful Colors was on sale at Walgreen's for 99 cents, and I am definitely glad I bought it! The formula on this polish was PERFECT. Two easy, effortless coats that applied like butter. Daredevil also has a fuchsia flash in the light that complements the pink so well. You just can't find a better deal than this!
     Check out the photos below...

     This is just THE perfect pink! I'm smitten with Daredevil. :)

China Glaze Tinsel Town

     When I saw promotional swatches of the China Glaze Let It Snow Holiday 2011 Collection, I bought up most of the colors...except Tinsel Town. It didn't really impress me in the bottle. It just looked like another silver glitter. And then sometime in January I saw swatches of Tinsel Town here and I immediately knew what I had missed out on.
     I then ordered Tinsel Town on Head2ToeBeauty.com, and now I've got swatches for you guys!

     Tinsel Town is an amazing, blue-toned charcoal glitter polish. This polish is PACKED with glitter! Shown in the pictures below is only 2 coats!

I used two coats of Tinsel Town, one coat of Gelous, and one coat of Seche Vite to make the surface as smooth as possible.

     Removal of this polish was no problemo with using the foil method, which I'll tell you all about soon! What do you think of Tinsel Town?

Candy Lacquer Dark Hearts

     I think I'm becoming obsessed with black and red glitter polishes. Every time I need a new combination, I feel like I have to have it! And Dark Hearts in no exception. Candy Lacquer released Dark Hearts a couple of weeks ago, and it was love at first sight. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

This is two coats of Dark Hearts over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

I just love how those red hearts peek through the black!

     So, as you can see, Dark Hearts is a clear-ish base with shredded black glitter and red heart glitter. It did get a little goopy on me if I tried to move the hearts around on my nails because of all the black shreds, but the extra work is definitely worth it because this combination is phenomenal! OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls is a very, very light grey, and I love it as the background for Dark Hearts. I told you I can't get enough of black and red glitter polish! 

      What do you think of Dark Hearts? You can find Dark Hearts in Candy Lacquer's Etsy shop here when she restocks this polish.

The Flash! Nails

     I just want to post a quick picture today of some nail art I did for my husband's birthday. He is a huge fan of The Flash comics from DC Comics, so I wanted to do something special for him on my nails.
     First, I painted my nails with China Glaze Phat Santa, which is one of the best reds there is. Then, I used white acrylic paint to make the white circle and yellow acrylic paint to make the lightning bolt. I used small art brushes to make this design.

     I was really happy with the way this manicure looked, and my husband loved it! Thanks for reading! ☺

Candy Lacquer Peyton

     I've got another awesome Etsy nail polish find for you today! I was recently able to buy a few nail polishes from the Etsy shop Candy Lacquer, which has a ton of awesome glitter polishes when the owner re-stocks. I bought Peyton because I love a holographic polish. Peyton is described as a "holographic top coat made with spectraflair pigment." The reason I bought Peyton is because it is a top coat, so I can paint it over any polish and make it holographic!
     This is one coat of Candy Lacquer Peyton over one coat of Wet N Wild Black Creme.
     Check out the photos below...

 Don't pay attention the the paint near the cuticles! This was before clean-up! :)

Look at that linear holographic goodness! 

     I think Peyton is one of my favorite nail polishes to date! Peyton has so many possibilities; I can't wait to try it over different colors. You can find Candy Lacquer polish here. I definitely recommend checking out her shop because she carries very unique glitter polishes. What do you think about Peyton?

OPI Just Spotted the Lizard

     TGIF! Today I'm going to show you swatches of OPI Just Spotted the Lizard from OPI The Amazing New Spider-man Collection. Just Spotted the Lizard is supposed to be a dupe of Chanel Peridot from last year, and that is the main reason why I wanted OPI's version - because I didn't want to pay $25 for the Chanel version.
     Just Spotted the Lizard is a gold and green duo-chrome that reminds me of a beetle with the different flashes of color. I really loved how the polish looked in the bottle, but it didn't look as gorgeous on my nails.
     Check out the photos below...

I really didn't like how brush strokes were really visible with this polish.

 However, the shift from antique gold to green to (a little) blue is unique and gorgeous.

Ugh, brush strokes! 

Ooooh, bottle pretty! lol

     What do you think about Just Spotted the Lizard? I think I only bought it for the novelty, as I wasn't overly excited about it. I may wear it on my toes soon, thought. Do any other colors from OPI's Spider-man Collection catch your eye?
