More Christmas Manis!

Hey everyone!

It's been a while for me! I took some time off this past week to celebrate the holidays with my family...but I am back now and ready to be back in the normal pattern of life again. :) I'm showing you some holiday looks I wore over the past week. Again, these photos aren't my best and I look forward to being able to truly focus on blogging again  and presenting you with the standard you know from me.

First is Crooked Star from Darling Diva. I layered this over China Glaze Running in Circles which is freaking awesome....everyone needs it!

Next is Tree-mendous from Lush Lacquer layered over Orly Fresh. Still got the broken pinky nail, unfortunately.

And finally, a little stamping! I don't do this enough anymore. This is such a fun look but my topcoat smeared it. :(

I will probably have another post like this to wrap up my holiday manis and then I will be back to what I do best, hopefully! 

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

3 Darling Diva Holiday Collection Swatches!

Hi lovely readers!

Are you guys getting ready for Halloween? My little toddler fell down a few stairs last night and woke up with her eye practically swollen shut, so I guess she gets to sport a black eye with her Dorothy costume tomorrow. :(

So today I've got some fun holiday polishes from Darling Diva's upcoming A Christmas Story collection to show you! I am so excited about these because they are so stinkin pretty! I am showing you 3 out of the complete collection.

First is Pink Nightmare. I knew I would like this one just by looking at the bottle and once it was on my nails, I was not disappointed! Pink Nightmare is anything but a nightmare. haha I layered one easy coat over OPI Pink Friday. Some of the larger glitters came out on their own and others I fished around for a bit. This polish has small iridescent color shifting glitters that give it a pretty blue flash. Super sparkly!

Can you see the blue flash this has? Love.

Next is FUUUUUUUDGE!!!!. I layered one coat with some dabbing here and there over OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?. This glitter combo is so unexpected and it totally works, which makes me love it more than I already do! I really like the tiny gold shimmer throughout the base also.

Ahhh this one just makes me happy!

And finally we have Electric Sex (in reference to the leg lamp in the movie :P). This has a sheer black jelly base with lots of different kinds of gold glitters throughout. I layered this over black and the glitters were a little hard to place in only 2 coats. If you wanted to wear this one on it's own you could and probably get more glitter out that way. Either way, I love the look this has. You can't go wrong with black and gold! Definitely an eye-catching polish!

There's even some holo glitter in here!

 So there you have it! I would love to hear your thoughts on these! Any favorites? I love them all for different reasons.

This collection will become available for purchase on November 1st! Day after tomorrow! Be sure to check out the Darling Diva shop if you haven't already and follow her on Facebook to stay in the know on all things Darling Diva!

Orly After Party + Darling Diva Roller Girl

TGIF polish lovers! Who has fun plans?

I have a layering combo for you today. I got Orly After Party on clearance at Sally's a few weeks ago. I don't know why I never paid attention to it before, because it's so pretty!

I thought that Roller Girl from Darling Diva Polish would be a perfect complement to After Party and I wasn't let down! This combo sort of reminds me of space! I love the tiny silver shimmer it has.

Ahhh....this is so fun to look at. ;)

Do any of you own Roller Girl or any other Darling Diva polishes?

Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect Sea + Darling Diva Fancy Nancy

Good morning readers!

It's been an early Saturday morning for me, so I am looking forward to taking a nap later today!

I recently bought a couple of the Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect polishes. I needed a very light purple (Whisper) for my sister's wedding and they were BOGO 1/2 off at Walgreens so I picked up the other color that stood out to me: Sea. It's a very light mint color. These polishes are very sheer and completely full coverage is 4 coats, but you can get away with 3 for a more delicate look. I should have waited longer for my coats to dry in between because I ended up with a lot of bubbles. :( I do love how delicate these polishes look on the nail though.

My accent nail is a polish from Darling Diva called Fancy Nancy. This is a glitter topcoat that is not over the top and is super wearable. I did 2 coats below.

Finally, I stamped some dots with a Color Club Foiled polish!

So Fancy Nancy has some cute heart glitters in it and I managed to get a few on my nails. I think it is a perfect addition to this polish.

And here is a macro bottle shot. I love macros of glitter. Love.

Have you heard of Darling Diva before? It looks like she is on vacation right now, but has some exciting stuff in the works!

Have a great Saturday!
