leopard and lace (big post)

Hello,
i know i haven't posted in a long while (before last night) i finished my travel and tourism course last week and got wrapped up in wow while working. i have done quite a few manis since jan , so here is a post to show you.

 leopard love

Colors used:

base: Billie Gold

stamp: W&W black creme

plate: konad m 57

i LOVED this mani. i got so many compliments on it. i really didnt want to take it off. i may redo it in rainbow or spring colors. we shall see.

Colors used:

base: SH xtreme wear white on

stamp:CG secret peri-winkle

plate:Bm16

tip: billie gold

pretty mani but not for me. being pale, the white did bad things to my skin.

Colors used:

base: billie gold

stamp:W&W black creme

plate:m57 (lace) and BM14 (roses)

i tried to mimic the SH salon effects. it turned out okay. only kept the mani on for a few days.

Colors used:

base:OPI do you lilac it? with thin layer of SH HD byte

stamp:billie gold

plate:BM 20

tip: SH xtreme wear Flirt

UGH what a disaster. this mani i HATED. it looked horrible on me. i took it off less then 12 hours later. im sure it will look great on some people but not me.

Colors used:

base:CG for audrey

stamp:CG frostbite

plate:M57(zebra print)

NO PICTURE OF MANI

Colors used:

base:CG light pink (can't remember name)

stamp:billie cherry

plate:M79 (dots) & M59 (solid bow and hearts)

tried to mimic this picture:

i really liked this mani. it was sweet. it was a nice change from all the random colors i had been using before.

(look at the sparkle)

see the pink? yea thats the reflection from my pjs! thats how sparkly this polish is

Colors used:

base: CH ruby pumps

accent nail :Miss B rainbow silver with topcoat of L.A Color silver sparkle

i have fallen in love with this mani. the dark red suits my skin tone and the silver sparkle is stunning. i love it.

speaking of red. what do you guys think of this new red lipstick i bought. i've wanted to try a red lipstick for a while but though it would look bad. what do you think?

Haul

Zoya Lo and Kelly

the pictures showed Lo as a much more light pink color. OPI beside it to show what a real light pink color is.

there is the example from their website.

anyways, i was kinda disappointed in how small the bottles were. i thought they were going to be bigger for 7.00 a bottle. 

nicole bring on the tinsel and SH HD cyber. i have figured out i dont like the shape of nicoles bottles. does anyone else find nicole's polishes really thick. its like the bottle dries up quickly.

SH HD isn't as sparkly/shiney as the other ones in the collection.  all the other ones are kinda halo-y but this one is kinda flat. maybe it will be different once i swatch it.

revelon scented in ocean breeze (a blue.green duochrome)  and cotton candy becuase hell yea! i have only swatched the cotton candy on one finger and the smell lasted for atleast 3 days. the color seemed kinda sheer tho. SH xtremem wear in gunmetal.

look at the hidden sparkle in gunmetal.

L.A Color in silver sparkle and Essie great expectations.

my first essie. i wasn't that pleased with it. it was plain and when i put it on my nailes it blended right in. anyone have any idea how to wear this grey/white color?

wow this was alot longer then i thought. im going to go study for my final and do a spring colored mani.

LOVE 

XOXO
