Limited Too Nail Polish

Hey everyone! Today I have a funky manicure I did using some really old Limited Too nail polish. Then, I kinda went crazy with the acrylic paint and painted on designs on all of the nails. XD Tada...

Claire's: Periwinkle

Hey everyone! At the mall during CTY, I bought three nail polishes, two from Claire's and one from Sephora. =] This is one I bought from Claire's called Periwinkle. To tell you the truth, I thought it was going to be a obvious duochrome, except it's actually a blue-ish purple base with tons of sparkle. The sparkles are duochrome, turning blue to purple. I had to use four coats, but I really like this color!

My Own Franken: Galaxy

Hey everyone! Today I'm showing you another one of my own frankens, called Galaxy. Galaxy started out as a dark purple I made with many different colors. Then, I added some glitter to it from this little box thing I found in my cabinet. I had no idea how it would turn out, but I really like it. =]

Galaxy has a deep almost black purple base with a little glitter. Please click on the photos!

Zoya Rea

Hey everyone, today I have on Zoya Rea, which I'm wearing to CTY.


Zoya Rea is one of my all time favorite colors. It's a gorgeous metallic purple and my go to color for everything. =] In real life, Rea is warmer and not as blue.

Noteworthy Polishes

Hey everyone! Today, I have some random polishes to show you. My 10 year old sister just got back from a birthday party, and in her goody bag, nail polish! I'm guessing that it's a dollar store brand, because in the back is says $1.00 in it. So, I was a bit worried about the quality of the formula and the chemicals, but it is Big Three Free.


It doesn't say what brand the polishes are, but it says, manufactured for Noteworthy, so I'm going to call them Noteworthy polishes. There were three in the pack, and the colors are all very pretty. But, they DON'T HAVE NAMES!


This is a shimmery gold polish. It has a slight crystal-y finish that I love. It was slightly thick, but it wasn't hard to apply. I used three coats here, and I think with an extra coat, you could make it completely opaque. This is a beautiful color, but it completely clashes with my skin tone. *sigh* I just can't pull off yellows of golds.


This is a metallic purple. I really like this color, because it's this gorgeous purple! In real life, it's slightly darker. The lighting just washes the color out.


This is a crystal packed dark pink. In this picture, it looks like a jelly-ish bright pink, but that's only because of the lighting. It's actually closer to the color of the three polishes in the box, (above). This is my favorite, because I love any crystal packed polishes.

OPI: Significant Other Color

Hey everyone! Back from vacation at Ocean City!

Well, today's post is OPI Significant Other Color, from the OPI Brights Collection. Significant Other Color was a graduation present from my best friend Sophia. She also gave me OPI Lourve Me, Lourve Me Not, from the OPI France Collection. Swatches of that will come soon!



Significant Other Color is a very cool duochrome. It goes from this very light purple, similar to Earth 2 Jane's It's A Girl Thing. However, when you move your nails, they then turn this light green color. In the picture, it looks yellow, but its more green in real life. Finally, it also turns into a darker pinkish purple color. (also more obvious in real life) Overall, I really love this color. It completely fascinates me everytime I notice them. However, the only troublesome thing was that there was some bubbling. There were more bubbles on my right hand. So strange, maybe it was because of my technique? My left hand has few, if any bubbles.

Earth2Jane: It's a Girl Thing

Hey everyone! =] It's Nail Polish Wednesday! (Even though it's not Wednesday) Basically, I paint my nails every Wednesday, because that's practically the only day where I'm not busy. But, I procrastinate and don't post the pictures until a few days later... or a lot later. Anyways, the first Nail Polish Wednesday can be seen on Randomness the Blog.



This week I'm wearing nail polish that I randomly found in the bathroom cabinet while I was trying to find an elastic for my hair, because all of them mysteriously disappeared. I'm not sure where I got it from, but it's Big Three Free which is a definite requirement, being that I don't want to get cancer.




Anyways, it's called It's A Girl Thing by Earth 2 Jane.Can you tell that the pictures are much clearer and less blurry? Well, I'm using my dad's camera, which is SO much better. =] The pictures are taken in artificial light, since it's currently night, and I have on Nicole by Opi Top Coat Plus.



It's A Girl Thing is a light pretty purple almost pink color. It's metallic and shimmery, which I love. This is definitely a soft and girly spring shade. It almost can be described as delicate, in a way. The only downside was that it was very sheer and I used three coats, but I could have used even one more. It also took a long time to dry, but that might have been because of the many coats I used.


It reminded me of the color of my room, and I was right. It is almost the exact shade. =]
