Hey all! I hope you guys slept wonderfully & have a amazing day today!!
This is My Mani I did last night, I really like it! I mean I didn't do so great with the gradient or the striping but I really like the polishes together! This was my first time using striping polish or whatever you call it! I just got three yesterday at Dollar general for $1 each :D I bought black, white, and silver glitter!
I took a picture with each polish Bottle :D

The First Polish I used was 2 coats of  OPI Sparrow me the Drama,
 From the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection.
It is a cool toned, muted pink creme polish with lilac undertones.


The next polish I used was Wet n Wild Sea of Dreams, from the Mermaid's Cove Collection.
I sponged it onto the tips of my nails :)
Sea of dreams is a lilac shimmery almost metallic looking polish.


Then I sponged over the tips again with Wet n Wild Hannah Pinktana.
Hannah Pinktana is a pinky, lavendar hologrphic microglitter polish.


I hope you guy's liked it!

My Franken "Outerspace & Shit" and Tons of Layering!!

Okay as for those who don't know about my new franken LOL I texted my husband pictures and he texted me back and said "It looks like outer space and shit" hahaha And I was like wow, what could be a better name hahaha so there is the little story/explanation of the name! I think I am going to name most my frankens silly names because it is fun!

Anyways! I hope everyday had (or has for those who are asleep & will hopefully read this tomorrow ;) a wonderful day!
I have had this polish on my nails a few days and it chipped so I repainted 2 layers on but you can see where it chipped & I apologize! Not sure why I didn't remove it first..sheer laziness I suppose? But if you can get past that I think it came out very pretty! I honestly do not remember everything in this so I am sorry! D: I have since started writing down my franken recipes!
"Outerspace & Shit" outside in the sunlight

I felt the need for some extra bling and added a coat of Northern lights on top of "Outerspace & Shit"
This is in sunlight also!

Here is "Outerspace & Shit" with one coat of Northern Lights taken indoors with flash.
 Then I decided since I planned to take it off the next day to just layer more on top & see how it looked!
So I grabbed Nfu oh #51
"Outerspace & Shit" with one coat of Nfu Oh #51 on top in the sunshine :)



Then I decided to Matte-ify it! <3
And why stop there?!? hehe..
I added a holo spectraflair topcoat I made ontop!! GORGEOUS seriously please take the time to click and see this and it with nfu oh up close it is (imo) beautiful!

 

(CLICK ME!) lol..
 Sorry for all the pictures! I was crazy bored earlier and layered a ton (my Daughter & hubby were napping so I figured why not?!)
I hope you guys liked my post, or at least somebody did :D I really had fun layering it all!
I LOVE that you can see the glitter and the flakies through pretty holo-ness :D

Colorful Leopard Print Sponge Mani Tutorial!

Hey fellow nail polish lovers! Today I have a tutorial for you guys!! I was asked for this by quite a few people, for the manicure I had on the other day! I hope you all like it!!! This was my first time making collages so I am sorry if it isn't perfect, I have only been doing this for like 2.5 months so I am still learning! If you have any questions/comments/concerns please feel free to ask me in the comment section below!! <3


These are all the color's I used. Ridiculous I know haha
You do not have to use nearly this amount but that is how I feel less guilty over having so many LOL

I started off with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Whirlwind White.
I hope you can read all of this >.< Sorry this was my first collages ever!



I decided to add some more spunk with Nfu oh 61,
I mean a little holo can never be a bad thing right?!





 Thanks for looking!!!     -Sarah <3

Comparison Post: Zoya Midori & Butter London Dosh



Doing a comparison post for Michelle! These two look super different and I seriously Love them both! I can see how they might look similar in the bottle though! BL Dosh is described as “a molten apple green shot through with metallic gold.”  And Zoya Midori is described as A Glowing medium apple green with yellow undertones and strong gold shimmer.
Personally I love them both <3 Kind of Leaning towards Midori as My fav of the two! I also love them layered! (pic below!)
Butter London Polishes are 11ml/.4 fl oz and retail for $14 each at various places (amazon, Ulta etc)
& Zoya polishes are 15ml/.5 fl oz and retail for $8 a piece, I have only gotten them from the zoya website but they do promo's a lot I have never paid full price for a Zoya :)
All pictures were taken without a topcoat, Midori is 2 coats & Dosh is three I believe (3 or 2..lol)
