Zoya Ombre

Hey everybun!

College, the State Fair, my sister's art show AND some major cleaning have all rendered me useless in the nail art world. I wanted to have some super boss nails for school, but I was only able to crank this out the night before class (when I should have been sleeping!).

I used all Zoya's with my thumb and ring being textured "accent" nails.

OPI - Alcatraz Rocks and NEW CAMERA!

Hey everyone!

If you've checked my Facebook recently you would have seen the adorable picture of the buns. You also would have heard that I got a brand new Nikon D3200. These are some of the first nail shots I've gotten with them and I feel that this polish was a perfect first test shot. All of that texture really helped me work out the settings and I am in LOVE with the quality of the pictures!

I'm not sure how ya'll feel about the bigger picture size but with all of the details that the camera captured , I might have to go back to the bigger size!

Anyways, enough about the camera, let's get to the polish! This is OPI - Alcatraz Rocks, a textured Blurple that was a part of OPI's San Francisco Collection. I love the rainbowy multi-faceted look that this polish gives off. The texture is wonderful as well, it's not too rough and I noticed with 3 days of wear the texture actually wears down quite a bit.

Over all, This polish is on key for every day or even special occasions. I'm also super happy with the current quality of my pictures... now, to redo the blog to a quality that I'd like!

P.S, Have the cutie bun pic that I was talking about at the top of this post!

Zoya Pixie Dust - Tomoko Swatch

Hey all! I have an older swatch that has been sitting around in my unposted folder for quite some time now. 

I feel like it's very much relevant as it's coming up on the holidays and Tomoko is a beautiful gold to showcase for them!

I absolutely love the Pixie Dust collection and this one was no different for me, it was love all the way!

I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday. I ordered wayyy to many nail polishes and nail polish making accessories so I'll be sitting by the stairs, adamantly waiting for the mail man to come!

New! TEXTURED Nail Polish!

Say hello to Grainy Day! My newest edition to a permanent collection in my Etsy shop. Now, I know I said I was switching to store envy, but the traffic from Etsy has really gone down since I've taken away most of my polishes. Which is why I've decided to list my OOAKs in the storenvy and my every day polish will be in my etsy shop!

This baby's only $7 in my etsy shop and you can find her here

Super texture close up!!! Whoahhh , so texture, much wow!

                                        

Julep - Tracy

Hello everybunny

My left hand ring finger is still a little wonky so swatches will have to suffice until I pull out some awesome nail arts.

Meanwhile let's have a lookey loo at Julep - Tracy!

I had NO IDEA that this was a sea salt texture polish. My first thought when I grabbed this from my stash was OOO SHINY! This is 2 coats, but I didn't want a texture so...

..BOOM! I added top coat which definitely did not take away the texture but made it a lot more shiny. Without top coat however, dry time was fast and Tracy really is a beautiful, purple texture coat.

I'll be back wednesday with another lovely swatch!

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat - Razzleberry Vs. China Glaze Texture - In The Rough

Hello lovelies, I feel terrible because lately I haven't been doing the ER31DC!

I've been so busy with my polish stuff besides doing a full cleaning of the house and taking care of the new bun, life has been hectic lately!
What I DID manage to do was a quick polish and comparison of the China Glaze Texture and Sally Hansen Sugar Coat that I picked up the other day.

Behold!

This is two coats of each. The Sugar Coat is the Blue one and the Texture is the green one.

Formula wise, the Sugar Coat was more textured in the bottle, but thinner and easier to work with. The Texture was thicker and harder to work with.

Sugar Coat was much more, well, sugary! It had a better feel to it. While Texture was textured, but had a patchy issue where some spots would be more textured than others and you can kind of see that in the picture above.

Overall they're both really nice, despite some of the problems with the China Glaze, the color is lovely and in the end the results payout. The Sugar Coat was a lovely surprise since I've heard some odd things about the formula, to me it was great if not a bit better than the China Glaze. BUT as I suspected, the blue DOES STAIN. So use a base coat.

What do you guys like more? China Glaze's Texture or Sally Hansen's Sugar Coat? Have you tried them out yet?
