My Ten Friends Birthday Earthling

Hello! I hope the week is being kind to you so far. Today I have for you My Ten Friends Birthday Earthling. I'm so excited to share this with you!!!
This is my first time using any of My Ten Friends polishes. I heard how amazing they were, so I thought I'd jump on board. I'm so glad I did! Since I put this on last night, I haven't been able to stop staring at my nails!!! Here, let me show you.......


Birthday Earthling is a turquoise polish that is filled with silver and holo glitters. Oh, and did I mention that it also has holographic star glitter AND it glows in the dark?! I don't think it gets any better!!

 For my mani, I used four coats just to make sure my visible nail line was covered. You could always use undies if you don't want to use that many coats. The formula was a tad thick, but nothing that a couple drops of thinner won't fix. I just think that with all the glitter that's jam packed in this, it has to be a little thick. It definitely didn't keep me from using it. It shines like diamonds!! Even in the bottom picture that is taken in natural lighting, it still sparkles! You can find My Ten Friends on etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/MyTenFriends. She isn't carrying this polish right now, but she has tons of other amazing polishes. What makes it nice, is the cost is only $10. You can also follow on their Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/MyTenFriends. Later on this week, I'll have another one of her polishes to share with you guys. Until next time, take care!!

Cult Nails Faded and Digital Nails Dig Deep

Hello there! I hope that you had a great Memorial Day weekend! Today I have for you Cult Nails Faded and Digital Nails Dig Deep. My family lives, eats and breathes Mine Craft. So when Digital Nails came out with Dig Deep, I knew it had to be mine!! This was also my first time using any Cult Nails polishes, so I was completely in love with both of the polishes I used!
Cult Nails Faded is a light gray creme. The formula on it was perfect. I only needed two coats to make it opaque. When I swatched it on my nail wheel, I didn't think I would like it. But once I put it on, I fell in love with it. Digital Nails Dig Deep is a gray crelly that's full of different size matte gray glitter. It also has light aqua glitter in it as well. As usual with Digital Nails formula, it was perfect to work with. I only used two coats. Then I topped it off with one generous coat of Seche. 


This not only looked amazing in the sun, but it also looked pretty cool in the shade as well. 
You can purchase Dig Deep for $10 from Digital Nails etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/DigitalNails. You should definitely follow them on their Facebook also, https://www.facebook.com/DigitalNails. If you interested in picking up Faded, you can find it for $12 at http://shop.cultnails.com
I hope you enjoyed my post! Until next time, have a great week!!

Digital Nails Expelliarmus

Hello there! Sorry for the lack of posts the past week. I've had my best friend and her family staying with me. So, my attention has been on spending time with them. Hopefully y'all understand.
Tonight I have for you Expelliarmus by Digital Nails. If you don't have it, you need it while she still has some in stock!
This beauty was on my wish list as soon as I saw her release it. It's one of the types of polishes you fall in love with IN the bottle, and even more so OUT of the bottle! Expelliarmus is a royal purple jelly that's loaded with blue violet and magenta color shifting micro flakes. It also has magenta circle glitters and huge silver and violet holographic circle glitters. The best thing about this polish is you can use it by itself, which is what I did, or you can layer it. Although they don't recommend it for beginners just due to the size of the circle glitters, I had no problem. I simply set the bottle on the cap for a little bit, and I didn't require any fishing! My above picture was taken indoors out of the sunlight and it still looks amazing!!
For my mani, I used 3 coats of Expelliarmus followed by 1 coat of Seche. If you look closely at the picture of me holding the bottle outside, you can see the blue micro flakes. It's one of my favorite polishes that I have from Digital Nails. That's saying a lot, since I have quite a few!! The formula on this was perfect to work with. The name of this polish comes from Martha Jones and Doctor Who. It's inspired by Raph's favorite moment of the Shakespeare episode. 
You can purchase this polish for $10 from Digital Nails etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/DigitalNails. You can also find her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DigitalNails. If you haven't tried any of the polishes from Digital Nails, you're missing out! I'll have another new release from her shop this week to show you. 
I hope that you enjoyed my post. I'm off to work on my next mani to share with you guys! I hope you have a great weekend and remember the reason for Memorial Day. Take care!!

A Girl Obsessed Kandi Kidz Review

Hi everyone! I actually have my first "official" polish review! I'm so excited!!
Today I have for you an awesome polish from A Girl Obsessed called Kandi Kidz. I'm absolutely in love with it! Here, let me show you why.......
I mean just look at it! When I put it on my nails, even my husband said it looked like vanilla icing with neon sprinkles in it. LOL.
All pictures were taken with the flash except the last one. We've been having a lot of overcast days lately. Kandi Kidz is described as a white crelly with neon micro glitter in pink, green and a touch of purple and blue in it. What I love the most is it isn't your normal bright white. I think it's more like a soft shade of white, which makes all the little glitter goodness inside it pop. I used three coats for my mani. I also topped it with one coat of Seche. The first one goes on a little streaky, but it evened out perfectly! I had no problem with showing of my VNL on my swatching hand, but on my right hand I did. I think if you're overly worried about it, you could very easily put a coat of white polish on first and top it with Kandi Kidz. I can't tell you how much I love this polish! I did place it on the top so that some of the glitter would be evenly dispersed. You can find A Girl Obsessed Kandi Kidz on her etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/AGirlObsessed. Her etsy shop is currently in vacation mode due to Sam starting school. If you want to place an order, feel free to send her an email samanthaisagirlobsessed@gmail.com. You can pick up Kandi Kidz for just just $8 for a full size bottle. You can also find her on Facebook www.facebook.com/AGirlObsessed
I hope you enjoyed Kandi Kidz. I know I surely did. Later this week, I'll have another awesome polish from A Girl Obsessed. Have a great week!

Different Dimension To Infinity and Beyond

First off, Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's out there!! I hope you were spoiled just like you deserve today!!
Today I have for you my review of Different Dimemsions To Infinity and Beyond. I was so excited to use it once I received it in my mail this week, so here we go!
For my mani I used two coats of OPI Do you lilac it? and two coats of Different Dimension To Infinity and Beyond. The majority of my pictures will be taken with flash since we've been having cloudy weather here in Ohio lately. 
I chose to use Do you lilac it? just because I didn't have a grey, but I really like the way it turned out. I would describe To Infinity and Beyond as being filled with neon green, holographic green, purple and white glitters in a clear base that also glows green in the dark. Of course my camera was not allowing me to capture the glow in the dark part, but I promise it did glow! I'm having a huge obsession with polishes that glow in the dark lately, and this one was nice since it glowed green. The other nice thing is that with this being in a clear base, you can use it over any color you want. The formula was perfect as usual with Different Dimensions. I did have to do three good coats of Seche just due to the fact that with it being a glow in the dark, it can feel gritty if you don't use enough top coat. This is just half of the You've Got a Friend in me collection that she did. You can find the set to buy here http://www.etsy.com/shop/DIFFERENTdimension for just $20. You can also follow her Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/DIFdimension
I hope that you enjoyed my post. Thanks for taking a look and I hope you have a great week!!

Different Dimension Set It Free collection

Hello ladies! Hopefully you had a great weekend! I had an amazing one!!
Tonight I have for you my review on a amazing collection by Different Dimensions. The collection is called Set It Free. Just wait until you see how gorgeous they are!!
Just look how gorgeous they are! I couldn't decide on which to use, so of course I used all of them! Formula wise, they were perfect. I decided to wear them by themselves. However if you want, you can definitely wear them over top of a similar color. They dried very quick and I just couldn't stop staring at my hands. The black one is called Black Delilah. The blue is called Stronger, and the pink is Wide Awake. 
For my mani I used three coats of each and one coat of Seche. I am absolutely in love with these! If you click on the pictures, you can see just how much depth they have. They may look like just your normal holographic polish, but they are far from it! Black Delilah is a black almost dark gray scattered holographic polish that has small iridescent glitters. Stronger is a baby blue scattered holographic polish that has hints of different colors when the light hits it. Wide awake is a soft pink scattered holographic polish that also has hints of different colors when the lights hits it. The above pictures were taken indoors with flash, but just wait until you see these babies in natural sun!!
Isn't it gorgeous?! I'd have to say, they're my favorite polish that Different Dimensions has put out. You can pick up these polishes on her etsy page http://www.etsy.com/shop/DIFFERENTdimension. You can get the full size bottles for $10 each or you can get them in a set of the three for just $25. She also offers them in mini as well for only $15 for the set of three. I picked them up in only the mini, and I'm going to need to get the bigger ones for sure! You can also find some of the Different Dimensions line on Llarowe http://shop.llarowe.com/collections/different-dimension. If you're on Facebook, make sure you go over and give Missi a like https://www.facebook.com/DIFdimension. Missi is one of the sweetest ladies I have got the chance to speak to. I'm expecting her You've Got A Friend In Me set this week. Once I get that, I'll do a review of that as well. 
I hope that you all have an awesome week and your mailboxes are full of amazing nail mail! Take care and I'll see y'all real soon!!

A Girl Obsessed Review

Hello followers! I have another awesome polish to share with you tonight. I have for you Abbey Bominable by A Girl Obsessed. It's such a fun and super cute polish!
For my mani I used Sinful Colors Sweet Nothing. It's part of their Sugar Rush Collection. I picked up almost all of them when they were on sale last time. I find myself going back and using them multiple times. The colors in the collection are the perfect base for glitters in my opinion. I topped it with Abbey Bominable by A Girl Obsessed. The above picture is taken indoors with flash.
I'm sure you're wondering what's the deal with the above picture. I did this mani super quick before I went with my family to see Iron Man 3 tonight. I was super careful, and then I hit the stupid dash board! LOL. At least it wasn't my swatching hand I told myself. My husband thought it was hysterical that I would be upset over messing up my nails. Typical guy! LOL.
I used two coats of Sinful Sweet Nothing and topped it with two coats of Abbey Bominable. It only needed one coat of Seche. Abbey Bominable is a baby blue crelly that's filled with different color hexes, circles, stars and sparkles. I tipped the bottle upside down so that some of the glitter would be able to come down. I do that so that I can try and avoid fishing, I'm not a huge fan of having to fish. The formula was perfect and it dried super quick. Next time, I'll try and get more of the bigger pieces of glitter. Since I was in a rush, I just was excited to get to use it! This picture was taken outside in full sunlight. 
Both of these pictures were taken with flash. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out! Incase you haven't noticed, A Girl Obsessed named this polish after one of the Monster High characters. She also offers Draculaura which is also from Monster High. She plans on making a couple other polishes for some of the other characters. You can pick up this polish for $8.50 for full size or you can pick it up in mini size for only $4.50. A Girl Obsessed is a newer indie, and she offers a wide variety of colors and styles. You can find her etsy shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop/AGirlObsessed and you can find her on Facebook as well https://www.facebook.com/AGirlObsessed. Make sure you go visit her and show her some love! 
I hope you enjoyed my review. I've already got my next one ready. Until early next week, take care!!

NailNation 3000

Evening there followers! Hope your week is treating you nicely. Today I have for you NailNation300 Awesome Sauce and Amaze-Ballz. I've used Awesome Sauce before for an earlier mani I posted in here. I only bought these in minis, and I'm thinking I'll need to upgrade them to larger bottles.
Awesome Sauce is the perfect orange color. It isn't crazy in your face bright, but it isn't super dark either. It's in the middle, which is perfect for me. Then you have Amaze-Ballz. It's the most gorgeous shade of pink I have! I'd say it's very close to a hot pink, but of course with holographic goodness in it. The above picture was taken with flash since it was at night. 
For this mani, I also used my dotting tool, and used Sunny's Cuticle Oil in Easter Garden scent. I received it in my April surprise box that she does. I've used her cuticle cream and her oil, they're both amazing! 
For my mani, I used only two coats of NailNation 3000 Amaze-Ballz and just one coat of Awesome Sauce for my polka dots. Then I topped it off with only one coat of Seche. The formula was perfect and they dried super quick. The picture above and the next few pics will be outside in full sun so that you can see all that holo goodness! As you can probably tell, holographic polishes are probably my favorite out of anything I have. 
As you can tell, the last picture was taken indoors. Even indoors, you can still see the amazing color that both polishes give off. I thought that it would look awesome to do the dots in Awesome Sauce, but after I realized you can't really see them. I still love it none the less. 
You can find NailNation 3000's Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/NailNation3000. She offers different sizes if you're just wanting to try out her polishes. Trust me, you won't regret getting any. I have glitter polishes from her as well as holographic ones. I love them all! You can find 365 Days of Color's Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/365daysofcolor and her shop here www.365daysofcolorpolishes.com. Sunny is amazing! Not only does she offer tons of cuticle products, she also makes her own polish! I started trying her cuticle products out with a sample pack. She just finished some new scents that I can't wait to try. I'm wanting some cotton candy cuticle oil for summer. 
Well, I think that's about it. I'm trying to win a contest from NailNation 3000, so that I can hopefully review some of her beautiful polishes. I hope that y'all have a great weekend! It'll be my 12 year wedding anniversary Sunday, so I know I'll have a great weekend. Take care!!
