Pepperoni Pizza Nail Polish! - Leesha's Lacquer

Hey there everybun!

Long time no see!

Guess what I have for you all today? Some awesome, bitchin' pizza nails, that's what!

This is Pepperoni Pizza from my Foodie's Paradise Collection. It's a crelly that is opaque in 2 coats, but requires the dab and place method due to the large size of glitters. I put a BUTTLOAD of glitter in this, about 3 to 4 times more than normal, so there's tons of little pepperonis to go around.

My Foodie's Paradise Collection is available for pre-order NOW, in my shop.

Leesha's Lacquer is 5-free, Cruelty Free and Vegan. We offer both Full sizes ($7) and Minis ($3.50).

We also ship worldwide!

Thanks for stopping by everybun!

Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Red Red Swatch and Review

Hey there everybun!

Although I completely destroyed these nails making nail polish the very next day, I thought I'd still share with you a few beautiful shots while it was alive and pretty!

This is just 1(!!!) coat of Red Red with 1 coat of Out the Door top coat. Not only is this one of the most gorgeous and brightest reds I own, the formula was amazing. I couldn't believe it was just a one coat-er!

I was able to pick this baby up on sale for 99 cents, but I believe they are regularly $1.99, at least they were at the Walgreens I got this at.

I am absolutely excited to try the rest of these new Wild Shine colors!

Thanks for stopping by!

Leesha's Lacquer Trans-Fab Transylvania Collection

Hey there everybun!

So I have a wonderful new collection coming out inspired by that sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania! 

Here's a look at what I'm working with here, 2 full coverages, a jelly and 2 glitter toppers.

I haven't made the full color announcement yet, because I have something super special planned on my IG (@leeshaslacquer , if you so care to find out!), but when I do, I'll be sure to post it here too!

Now, since this is my blog, my polish and I can do whatever it is that I want with both, I've decided to show you all a sneak preview of one of the polishes from the collection called We're All Lucky.

We're All Lucky is a full coverage polish that is opaque in 2 thicker coats, or three thin. It's really hard to capture in words this color, since it leans burgundy in dim lighting, deep red/orange in natural lighting and bronze/red in normal lighting.

The Trans-Fab Transylvania Collection is set to be released March 15th. 

I can't wait to show you all the full collection, and thank you all very much for stopping by!

BinChic's Boutique's - St. Val's Heart

Hey there, everybun!

Oh man, has this weekend been crazy. I wasn't able to do my nails all last week, since I've been making huge batches of polish and I'm an absolute terror when it comes to NOT getting suspension base all over the damn place. My nails always somehow find a way to get covered in polish it shouldn't!

I WAS, however, able to quickly coat on BinChic's St.Val's Heart quickly before I had to jet out the door for Valentine's Day, so lucky me!

This is St. Val's Heart

I had the oddest issue, and being a nail polish maker I think I figured out what it was. When you apply this polish, odd dark grainy granules appear and make the polish really gritty. I used two coats of top coat and it was still a little gritty, but manageable. What I think went on, was that the pigment did not fully dissolve in the base. I have this problem frequently with my neon and bright pigments, but there is an easy fix that I will definitely pass along to BinChic!

I used two coats plus two coats of top coat. Application, despite the graininess was beautiful and I've had this on my nails ever since the weekend. I only have a bit of tip wear, but acrylics don't tend to chip or wear anyway, so I can't say much for the wear time.

You can find St. Val's Heart HERE

BinChic is 5- free, hailing from Camrose, Canada. 

You can find The Trickster for $4.95 for Mini's and $7.42 for full size.

Sinful Colors Strawberry Nail Art

*I received this polish compliments of Influenster from the DLVoxBox

Hey everybun. It's been an absolutely CRAZY week! I took a little break from everything to work on recuperating from the craziness of the craft show this weekend. I have lots of nail things to show you next week, and this Friday Finds will NOT be posted since I haven't had time to look for finds this week.

Anyways, now that that's out of the way. Ready for some nail art? 

I received this polish in my DL Vox box, which I was so excited to see because polish is right up my alley (duh!)

Essie - Leading Lady

Hey there everybun!

Happy, Monday.. even if it hasn't been a happy Monday for you, there's always Tuesday, right?

This past Thursday, I went to a Paloma Faith concert and I could think of no other polish to wear than Leading Lady by Essie!

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine - Lava Swatch

Happy Monday everybun!

I've been a bad (and busy!) blogger and had no 4th of July mani for you all. I'm sure you've all seen dozens by now though, so since you're all 4th of July'd out, here is some nice easy going beautiful duochrome goodiness from Sally Hansen's Lustre Shine line.

Say hello to Lava! (Click below for more pics!)

Rainbow French Tips

Hey everybunny!

Happy Friday!

I, for whatever reason on Wednesday, decided it was an opportune time to do all of my nails. Now I usually don't do all of my nails because I usually only get to wear them all for a day or so before I have to take them off and do them again. I generally have mismatched nails because I hate to go bare so it's nail art and designs for the blog on the left, and whatever color I'm feeling on the right. But for these past few days? My nails have been a match made in nail polish heaven!

I just grabbed for cremes and I'm not certain what the colors were. I was hoping to finish the rainbow with purple but not all of my nails cooperated in line even-ness. 

These were soooo fun to make and to look at! I got so many compliments and basked in the glory when I told whoever complimented me that YES, I MADE THESE!

I'm so proud!

See you all Monday for some more polish fun!

KKCenterhk Review - Black Mirror Nail Foil

*This product was sent to me for review in exchange for my honest opinion

Hey lovelies, Monday has almost come and gone, but I managed to fit a post in before the day has ended!

I have for you today some very interesting nail foils that I absolutely LOVE from KKCenterhk. So let's get to it!

The most interesting thing happened with these. I used Jessica - Black Matte as my base, then used the Beauty glue that came with the nail foils, slapped the foils on, and proceeded to use top coat...

...and this happened! The nails with topcoat turned from reddish/orange to blue! I marked the nails, as you can see, above.

I always recommend using top coat, (Seche Vite is my choice) with nail foils because they otherwise shed off really easily. I'm not sure if it was the Seche Vite or what, but I was definitely surprised when it happened!

The shiny effect that these foils have isn't exactly mirror, and they look a bit textured (though that could just be my error in applying them!), but I still love the effect they give!

You can find these foils here or you can check out the other nail foils they have here.

Valentines Day Mani #1

Hello everybun! 

Are you prepared for the torrential downpour of valentines day mani's that are sure to plague your blog roll? I know I am! I have so many ideas for valentines mani's and this one came to me last night right before I fell asleep. Whether you celebrate the day o' love or not, I hope you can still appreciate some good ol' lovey dovey nail art. 

These little love birds were done with all acrylic paint. I have so many valentines day contests I want to enter, but I'd like to feel the love a bit more by doing a few more lovey dovey mani's before I decide whether these two make the cut or not.

Speaking of Valentines day..and the super bowl for that matter, I do so recall that my first blog posts were superbowl and valentines day themed AND THAT MEANS MY FIRST YEAR BLOGIVERSARY IS COMING UP!

More on that later..

For now, enjoy the lurve!

ColorMeSoCrazy Guest Post #1

Well here I am again. In Pennsylvania while lucky Leesha gets to go from cold Minnesota to nice, beautiful, warm Mexico. Lucky duck!! So, for my annual "I'm insanely jealous of Leesha and all I can do is whine about it" post I have decided to celebrate Mexico. I have a Mexican themed color homage as well as two inspired by Mexican art designs on my own blog ColorMeSoCrazy. Be sure to check it out.

I am so excited to do this and be able to post again for Leesha. She has been a great blogger friend and an excellent polish maker!! I wish her great fun and warm weather while she is in Mexico!

For this design, I used red, green and white- the colors of Mexico. I used stamping designs that remind me of the art and designs of Mexico. I have always enjoyed the skills of artists that create sugar skulls especially those that do them on nails! Such a small canvas. Well, I couldn't do that! haha. I just did the patterns that I gathered in painting of sugar skulls and applied them to my design.

So, here's to Leesha have a fantastic time in Mexico and me sitting here in Pennsylvania wishing I was on the beach!!

Colors Used:
NYC- High Line Green
Sinful Colors- Ruby Ruby
Sinful Colors- Snow Me White
Wet n' Wild- Ebony Hates Chris

Thanksgiving Gradient

First of all, I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you're celebrating it and if you're not, have a Super Okay Thursday !

I did some pretty cool turkey nail art last year, but this year I got lazy and decided to just do a gradient because it's easiest. So here it is! It doesn't even bare a slight resemblance to anything thanksgiving related (unless you count cooking over a fire?), but it's all my lazy butt churned out!

In real life, the gradient looks much more smoothly transitioned, but here you can't even see the light orange that leads from the yellow to the darker orange.

Hopefully you all have a much prettier and more successful Thanksgiving mani and most of all, I hope you all pig out for me!

I will sadly be going to the early Black Friday sales that begin at 6, so imma have to stuff myself early.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving, ya'll!

Light em' up, up, up. I'm On FIIAH!

Man I LOVE that song, it was an inspiration for these babies..

Yes, that is right! I'm throwin' some fire nail art your way!

I've been LOVING my migi nail art pens that I just bought at the state fair this year, so of course I was just messing around and used them for these nails. My nails look SO PINK in these pictures and I have no idea why..I just added a fresh coat of acrylic so that may be the culprit..

Anywho, I've done a crap ton of nail art this past week so prepare yourselves for some nail art over load!

Leesha's Lacquer Polishes!

Hey, everybun! I've taken some time today to do a few swatches of some polishes I've recently made.

Pink Cashmere

DaBaDeDaBaDi

Raspberry Beret

Red, Red Wine

I took some crap pictures of them before this and felt that they all deserved to be swatch on the nail. On the nail you can truly see the things that make them unique, like in DaBaDeDaBaDi, it was sooo hard to photograph that little bit of holo on the nail wheel.

So, what's the verdict on these babies? They're all opaque in 2 -3 coats. 

Are they winners?

Find these beauties here! 

Tape Mani

Hey everybun!

I know I've been absent for quite some time now. Well, I promise this week I'll pull myself together and get some fresh mani's out there. I've just been super busy with making all the things for the craft show. From nail polish racks, to tshirts and nail sets and polish AND EVERYTHING!

But have no fear, a back up mani is here!

This is a simple tape mani I've had floating around in my unposted folder.

I'll see you all soon with a halloween mani!

Julep - Joan French Tip

Once again, Happy Humpday everybun!

My first day of in-person college was yesterday and all went very well! This is actually my 3rd semester pursuing an A.A degree, in other words, generals, and I've done it all online so far which has been awesome!

But anyways, back to the nails. I decided a few nights ago to do a quick french tip because I couldn't think of anything else so I picked up the closest color which  happened to be Julep - Joan.

I'll be going to the great Minnesota get together tomorrow, The Minnesota State Fair so hopefully I don't scorch (thanks heat wave). See you all Friday!

Pokebawls

Yezzuh!

Hello everyone! Yes I am back today! 

Unfortunately, I'm writing this post ahead of time because I know I'm going to be wayyy too tired to get a post up today. 

It is of course a quick post because this has been sitting in my unposted folder for a while.

My cousin Tiana did some Pokeball nails on my cousin Minka and they turned out soooo cute!

Look at her tiny little hands!

She's going to be in 5th grade this year and much surpasses the smartness of the rest of her cousins and brother. 

Enjoy the Bawls and have a bunderful day!

p.s. I hope to be back next week!
