I just saw this sucker for the 1st time recently, and was lucky to find it on eBay. This is one layer of Boo-gie Down over Maybelline Cool Couture. I'm a sucker for crazy glitters, so yeah, I'm in love 8-) <BR><BR>

So I've decided to show you OPI's Movin' Out. I started with a base of OPI's La Boheme. I used two coats with one layer of top coat.<BR><BR>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWciSLWOSTQugW4ALQqlFg3sJH51oY1UvWZV8nVo8uBafq4b-myaMea23NVsdbJ8O0ep1aq9kQunX03lUJ-A5y15kgtsTTKdNYVcHdjjTBumT0odxU0VCH3bJ25mBuYz21TKqqN_L7udRJ/s1600/OPILaBoheme1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWciSLWOSTQugW4ALQqlFg3sJH51oY1UvWZV8nVo8uBafq4b-myaMea23NVsdbJ8O0ep1aq9kQunX03lUJ-A5y15kgtsTTKdNYVcHdjjTBumT0odxU0VCH3bJ25mBuYz21TKqqN_L7udRJ/s1600/OPILaBoheme1.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I added one coat of Movin' Out (no top coat over Movin' Out). This lightened up the color to a pinkish purple, but added some amazing duochrome to the mix.<BR><BR>

The first combo here is China Glaze Grape Pop with two coats of Clarins 230 overtop. I think Grape Pop is just the right amount of bright for Clarins. Just check out the next two photos, they're both the same mani under different lighting/angles. Love!

Here's another angle, can you even believe it's the same mani?<BR><BR>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 2nd mani I wanted to show off is from a mini set of polishes I picked up at Sally's. The package says it's Color Club Winter Affair scented polish, but they are all un-named. It came with four colors, a blue, red and green with a multi colored flakie. Looking online, the flakie is called Snow-Flakes. What a great name! <BR><BR>

I ADORE Germanicure by OPI, in fact, it's one of my favorite polishes, but I still felt the need to add some umph to it. Even though I wanted it give it a kick, I didn't want to totally distract from the awesomeness that is GBO, so I decided to add a layer of Pure Ice Heartbreaker....and wow! That did it, the perfect amount of umph. Check it out:<BR><BR>
At certain angles, there is a hint of blue, and of course the signature green shimmer from Heartbreaker. ♥<BR>.

If so, I'm sure you recognize the name of the post. I adore Christopher Walken and I adore today's mani. It sort of happened by mistake, but sometimes my unintended experiments really work out for the best. LOL. This is a mixture of China Glaze Grape Pop, Pure Ice Heart Breaker and Color Club Snow Flakes. ♥<bR><bR>

Here's a closeup. Grape Pop starts off with a nice base, but the addition of Heart Breaker makes it lend more towards a blue color. Topping that you get the colors of gold, green and yellow from Snow Flakes, while at the same time, the shimmer from Heart Breaker peeks through. This really is a very pretty mix and a new favorite. I'll be wearing this combo intentionally next time ;-) <br><BR>

It took a while for my nails to grow back too, with all the moving and packing, I've been sporting nubbins for quite a while. <BR><BR>
Today I'm wearing Wet n Wild Megalast "Haze of Love" with Studio M's "Singles Only" overtop. Singles Only is a sheer pink jelly with Silver hexes and small silver glitter mixed in. I'm not a pink polish lover, but I do wish the base was a bit more opaque, the pink was so sheer it may as well have been clear. <BR><BR>

So, this year, I decided to re-create it. Now, it's an easy manicure to create, you just need a little patience and some scotch tape....yeah. I have no patience. So, this is my 2nd attempt. The 1st time I didn't let the orange base dry enough and the tape pulled the color up with it. I tell you, me and nail art just don't get along.<BR><BR>
For this mani, I used a base of Sally Hansen Insti Dry in Orange Impuse (see yesterday's mani). I waited about and hour and then added scotch tape down the middle and used Sally Hansen Insti Dry Quick Canary (could have used a 2nd coat) and Wet n Wild White.<BR><BR>
Even though the yellow is a bit sheer, I really love the results, what a fun mani!<BR><BR>

So even though it might be a little late in the year for wearing bright colors on the nail, I still loved wearing Orange Impulse. Perfect remedy. Orange Impulse is a nice and bright orange color, I suppose it'd be considered a neon, but I don't know if I'd call it that. Check out the pick:<BR><BR>

Don't you hate it when you finish a nice and neat looking manicure and you end up smudging one finger? So annoying, but I was too lazy to fix it. ha ha.<BR><BR>

Well, to my disappointment, there were only two new colors from last year's crop.<BR><BR>
The base color here is a Claw polish called Bloodshed, which is great name for this color. It's a right red cream. In case you're not familiar with Claw polishes, they come in these great coffin shaped bottles.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the two pumpkins here is a clear base filled with orange micro glitter and orange and black bar glitters. This is one coat overtop Bloodshed. I really like the red underneath. The bar glitters don't really lay flat on the nail, so that's a bit of texture.

This next polish is another Claw polish called Poison. Poison is a bright shiny purple that my camera did not love. Every photo made it look blue for some reason, but I was lucky enough to grab one decent one that is pretty close to accurate. It's still a bit more blue in this photo than IRL.

So, overtop Poison, I'm wearing the 2nd new pumpkin polish of the season. This one a clear base with bunches of light purple hexes. This is also the type of glitter that doesn't exactly lay flat and smooth on the nail. I liked the two together, but this type of glitter isn't my favorite.

Ok, so a quick rant. I HATE this curly glitter trend - I think Polish Addict was the one who labeled them "taco glitter". I like my polish smooth, I can't stand when the ends start to curl up and snag on things. Blach. Ok, I guess that wasn't really a rant....ha ha.<BR><BR>
I know I've been MIA for a while, so what the heck have I been up to? Well, we just bought a house! Looks like we'll be moving sometime in December if all goes well. I'm so excited!!

Amazing, huh?
Has anyone done anything fun for Halloween yet? This weekend, we're going to Greenfield Village for their Halloween weekend. Greenfield Village is a historic village in our area and for Halloween they really do it up. There are hundreds of lit jack o lanterns along the pathways, they have awesome scarecrows, giant pumpkins and even the Headless Horseman. Here are some picks from last year's trip. I can't wait!

I'm so ready for the Halloween season! The 1st color is #12423 Creepy Pumpkin. CP is a sheer orange base loaded with orange micro glitter. This is one coat over black:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next, we have #11137 Black Magic. BM is a clear base with multi colored thin bar glitter. Just like Creepy Pumpkin, this is one coat over black:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This color is also called Black Magic, but it has a different number #12422. This polish is black with multi color super micro glitter.

And lastly, we have #11139 Night Glow. NG is a glow in the dark topcoat. This is two coats, and as you can see, it leaves a bit of a haze overtop the base color:

Now, I held both the bottle and my nails right up to the light for a decent amount of time, and although the bottle glowed brightly, there was zero glow on the nails.

First up is Essie Wrapped in Rubies. The bottle shows a reddish brown color with heavy amounts of gold shimmer. On the nail, the shimmer isn't anywhere near as noticeable as the bottle and there really isn't any brown, it still translates into a nice autumn red color. Perfect for this time of year. I really loved wearing this one.

The next color up for today is Finger Paints It Baroque. It's an army green shade that's so earthy, I just love it. I don't own many FP polishes, but this one was pretty perfect. The formula and brush were amazing, I had enough control when applying that I didn't have to do any cleanup (a rarity for me! LOL).

Once I saw photos of this collection on <a href="http://www.scrangie.com/2012/08/jessica-spicy-dream-collection-fall.html">Scrangie's Blog</A> and I knew I had to find someplace to order it....eBay to the rescue! LOL. Cinnamon Kiss is from the Spicy Dream Fall 2012 Collection. There are some other great colors mixed in there too, I also have Gingersnap and Pumpkin Delight coming to me. I adore fall collections, they always have my favorite colors.

This is Teal II, which has a wave design. What I like about this color is how the design is an aqua blue, but the color in between is a teal-y green glitter. Very pretty and so different than any other magnetic color I have in my collection (which is quite a few now).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ6M8kKvndACTno5TnAigVeRiDHGUgTMVQ0VD4IKzLzAPmmthiYRRXW1iO0DZpHPttJwGgkl_mIxpaSNo6qtr1t8OMU__41jDN_ECd0_FzdYIJqf4tiAnAGVWxMoI6ipyYdAyOc76z6Hix/s1600/P1160179.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ6M8kKvndACTno5TnAigVeRiDHGUgTMVQ0VD4IKzLzAPmmthiYRRXW1iO0DZpHPttJwGgkl_mIxpaSNo6qtr1t8OMU__41jDN_ECd0_FzdYIJqf4tiAnAGVWxMoI6ipyYdAyOc76z6Hix/s1600/P1160179.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5788371120267146498" /></a><br /><br />Here's a good shot of the green glitter part:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSquG7B-m_kyCn_-QCL4VZoGq2_zM9wMFYn9Z-y0lbZOOTzSTszLl82KT9hQ6gzra5WAMtTO6AHvrqYSMGf9Zd4pcGkqO0FmB5i3wMN84rxn75kI6XCe0irkFrWLalEHjuRjxnCK34lht/s1600/P1160176.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSquG7B-m_kyCn_-QCL4VZoGq2_zM9wMFYn9Z-y0lbZOOTzSTszLl82KT9hQ6gzra5WAMtTO6AHvrqYSMGf9Zd4pcGkqO0FmB5i3wMN84rxn75kI6XCe0irkFrWLalEHjuRjxnCK34lht/s1600/P1160176.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5788371109772679714" /></a><br /><br />I got my Nabi's from eBay, I have not seen these in stores like the previous ones.<br /><br />Thanks for looking!melacinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00435328730688808092noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040221395385283112.post-37858253486092201232012-09-05T07:00:00.001-04:002012-09-05T07:00:12.683-04:00Nabi: #60 New Gold GlitterMy 1st ever concert was in 1990 and I saw Faster Pussycat and Motley Crue on the Dr. Feelgood tour, and tonight I have tickets to see Motley Crue open for Kiss. I haven't seen them since my 1st show, so I'm pretty excited. This means I need some bling for the nails, so I decided to wear Nabi #60, New Gold Glitter. <br /><br />NGG is a mixture of gold irregular shaped glitter, skinny holo bar glitter and bits of tiny red hexes. Unfortunately, I had the bright idea to sear this over Orly Buried Alive and the Nabi glitter just gets swallowed up in it. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBg-3K7cp_4699uhykgusQ_4Ly_JBVBCQK7rfUAf9Siu4r7yLH2WPG_FebyaQfiqYxIE4rqOeZYwbGOmKk7LU0EbcT9RehTdzD-agdBhIPuSZDqexNmxjdtcZaNrnxI7hyk_LVBWjq55k/s1600/New+Gold+Glitter1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBg-3K7cp_4699uhykgusQ_4Ly_JBVBCQK7rfUAf9Siu4r7yLH2WPG_FebyaQfiqYxIE4rqOeZYwbGOmKk7LU0EbcT9RehTdzD-agdBhIPuSZDqexNmxjdtcZaNrnxI7hyk_LVBWjq55k/s1600/New+Gold+Glitter1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5783266002421661282" /></a><br /><br />Here's a closeup:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8STqs0khyvPIw2v7FfCaNzhqa7_UJ2fbQSxknIFtVcew76TeRCwIialLL-N0RTl6ZwgNqbpA-m0ZpuHuFZNJyfCQL2bgeL8uyqPmNGKMZtM4AH7tq3Pnaz0lKAmKpsLEcxdxx3R-EzXt/s1600/New+Gold+Glitter.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp8STqs0khyvPIw2v7FfCaNzhqa7_UJ2fbQSxknIFtVcew76TeRCwIialLL-N0RTl6ZwgNqbpA-m0ZpuHuFZNJyfCQL2bgeL8uyqPmNGKMZtM4AH7tq3Pnaz0lKAmKpsLEcxdxx3R-EzXt/s1600/New+Gold+Glitter.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5783265991372569458" /></a><br /><br />and I thought it best to show off the Nabi solo as well.

I love the name, it's so Halloween, and of course totally fits into my present Halloween / Fall mindset lately 8-) Buried Alive is a brown with hmm, I'd say gold glass flecks. It's reminds me a bit of Loreal Owls Night (I think that's the name), but it doesn't have that green cast to it like the Loreal one does.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBNM2m1vcl0dqe3hQe2OtyTR94vPGsM1sWkxPWePl3nqPyiaM3uTGlmGE2uZKRH-rqh7IzaC43Bj2DNv7T8_Dmw-oXsdpwGSiDM1K0GMs-EXMWFJJ__C4np6Jct2mONhDnxoNyuB7eyvHo/s1600/Buried+Alive1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBNM2m1vcl0dqe3hQe2OtyTR94vPGsM1sWkxPWePl3nqPyiaM3uTGlmGE2uZKRH-rqh7IzaC43Bj2DNv7T8_Dmw-oXsdpwGSiDM1K0GMs-EXMWFJJ__C4np6Jct2mONhDnxoNyuB7eyvHo/s1600/Buried+Alive1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5783250933908534322" /></a><br /><br />Soo pretty!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-P8GZ7ZPgZgz5y5gdYg9SzOISBcgQdwuLZKwxWRys-K5yOHMc-yiQcrIHRkJLWGEM80gTpMjSIc7KteConntiO-1bUKomM7d3B_XM4UJZaCxPMdqgYprJhJvPKjFphp5DlSA1Idx2bW8A/s1600/Buried+Alive.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-P8GZ7ZPgZgz5y5gdYg9SzOISBcgQdwuLZKwxWRys-K5yOHMc-yiQcrIHRkJLWGEM80gTpMjSIc7KteConntiO-1bUKomM7d3B_XM4UJZaCxPMdqgYprJhJvPKjFphp5DlSA1Idx2bW8A/s1600/Buried+Alive.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5783250940578105042" /></a><br /><br />Thanks for looking!<br />melacinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00435328730688808092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040221395385283112.post-11272317164614114772012-09-02T07:00:00.000-04:002012-09-02T07:00:07.002-04:00OPI: Every Month is OktoberfestI thought since I just showed you one color from the Germany collection, I'd throw Every Month is Oktoberfest at you next. This one reminds me a bit of Clarins 230, with the shimmer and purple.

I broke out the pumpkin spice candles and I'm about to hit the <a href="http://www.franklincidermill.com/">Franklin Cider Mill</a> on the way to the Renaissance Festival tomorrow morning. The Ren Fest/Cider Mill trip always signals the official start of Fall for me. <br />
<br />
Sooo, I need a polish that screams the season, and I chose OPI's Deutsch You Want Me Baby? DYWMB is a bright orange packed full of yellow shimmer, it positively glows. <br />

Unfortunately, I had a pretty bad nail catastrophe yesterday, I severely broke two nails trying to get a box down from a shelf...and both breaks were on my swatch hand! So I hope you don't mind the one finger swatches for a while.<br />

I have to say I'm very impressed with the Germany collection so far. I only picked up 4 colors, but the ones I got are just stunning. German-icure by OPI is the 2nd color I've worn so far. It is an awesome blackened red shimmer; this is one coat over black:<br />

<br />
So, I decided to add one more pick of GBO, this is two coats worn by itself, but look how great the shimmer is in the sunlight. It's a very "glow from within" color.

I was so impressed with my Nabi magnetics, that I decided to try out a few of the glitters as well. This is #44 New Multi Glitter. Not a very creative name! It's packed full of super fine silver micro glitter with a mixture of large silver hexes and smaller hexes in pink, blue and silver all floating in a very sheer orange base. Very interesting mix. This is one coat over OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgATr9SxiMtUeYJKADhq0o0U1tGprsSuut4de4ExivqRyytavajOwaz9wE_B3VJDk2-oGWUu3Lgw6f3eXIGgOtxzC5qjEqjE35fLOC3gnYT4w_XPZwxUyK5tI4Dk2vGU5LRp-qrvLM74asy/s1600/P1150838.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 525px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgATr9SxiMtUeYJKADhq0o0U1tGprsSuut4de4ExivqRyytavajOwaz9wE_B3VJDk2-oGWUu3Lgw6f3eXIGgOtxzC5qjEqjE35fLOC3gnYT4w_XPZwxUyK5tI4Dk2vGU5LRp-qrvLM74asy/s1600/P1150838.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5778949096841021682" /></a><br /><br />Thanks for looking!melacinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00435328730688808092noreply@blogger.com7
