Press Sample Hi all! This week was the beginning of the teaching semester. The first week is always fun--meeting new students and literally molding their first week of college. It's always fun! Anyway I am posting these just in the nick of time! Chaos and Crocodiles is having a pre-order TOMORROW August 30th from 12pm-1pm and 9pm-10pm Eastern Time . You'll even be able to order the Cosmoprof Exclusive, Operation Vegas! So check out my post below! Chaos and Crocodiles Operation Vegas and Ciphe As I mentioned above, I was able to meet Sarey, the creator, at Cosmoprof. She let me play around with her polishes on a nail wheel and even in indoor lighting, I could see how flashy the polishes in the Secret Agent collection were. I'm so in love with the two Chaos and Crocodiles--I need more! Cipher - two coats. Cipher is a "blue leaning teal holographic" which is dead on. It sometimes pulls more green and other times looks blue. I actually adore that. It makes the polish

Press Sample Today I have some swatches of GlitterDaze polishes. GlitterDaze recently re-launched her brand with new packaging and a new collection so check out my post below for swatches. GlitterDaze High Roller and You Take My Baby's Breath Away First here is a shot of the new packaging. The box is cut really nicely but it is rather large and does take up a lot of space. Glitterdaze also included nail art studs which are super cute. I don't see them available in the store right now, but hopefully soon! GlitterDaze packaging High Roller is a light gold holographic polish. This went on in two easy coats and has a strong holographic flame. It's a bit pale for my skin tone, but I still like it. GlitterDaze High Roller GlitterDaze High Roller GlitterDaze High Roller GlitterDaze High Roller GlitterDaze High Roller You Take My Baby's Breath Away is part of the Floral Soiree Collection. This is a glitter in a lilac crelly base. The glitter is very busy with a variety of shape

Nothing to Disclose   Tonight I wanted to share the manicure I wore for my brother's wedding. My brother and his wife have been happily married 9 days, so congrats to them! My dress for their event was a sparkly navy blue dress. It had tiers and glittery beaded straps. I decided to coordinate, pulling the silver as my main color and accenting with blue. Check out my post for more details. Blue and Silver Glitter Gradient for My Brother's Wedding I really wanted my nails to sparkle. I started with one coat of Zoya Seraphina. While this won't appear opaque, I knew I was covering it with glitter and just wanted a simple base.  Then I used one coat of China Glaze Lorelai's Tiara. I forgot how much I love this glitter. It appears kind of one dimensional in the bottle, but the hint of blue glitter in the silver is perfect. It is SO sparkly. Last I added a gradient using Lynnderella When the Moon was a Star. I purposely avoided putting the stars on my nails...I simply wanted t

Press Sample Yes it's mid August but Fall isn't so far away. Zoya is here with the Ignite collection that is full of six gorgeous shimmer polishes that Zoya calls "liquid metal" and I can see why! Check out my post for more photos and full review. Zoya Ignite Collection Fall 2014 The Ignite collection is filled with six deepened autumn appropriate colors that all have multidimensional shimmers that are strongly golden but flash other colors as well. Each swatch is without top coat. All my swatches are in direct sunlight and shade for the most accurate photos. Zoya Yuna: two coats. Grey with Copper & Gold Liquid Metal. Yuna appears grey in the bottle but on my skin, it pulls a slate grey-blue. The golden shimmer is very strong and is apparent in both sun and shade. I love this color for the fall.  Zoya Yuna Ignite Collection Fall 2014 Zoya Yuna Ignite Collection Fall 2014 Zoya Yuna Ignite Collection Fall 2014 Zoya Yuna Ignite Collection Fall 2014 Zoya Yuna Igni
