Alchemy Lacquers - Hemlock

Good morning friends! I am going to start by saying that this is one out of many Alchemy Lacquers that I am obsessing over. Simply put, I want every single color that she offers...

I had to be VERY good and choose only one of the colors that spoke to me the most. 

Hemlock is one of five colors in the "Witches Weeds" collection by Alchemy Lacquers. You can see all five [here].

I am so excited about this color. I just love it when I put on a polish and am in awe of it. In all of my photos I have on two coats of Hemlock and one coat of Seche Vite.

Magical.....it's just magical. 

Hemlock is, "A blue-purple linear holographic nail lacquer with purple, red, orange, yellow and green multichrome shift." 

This is another multi-chrome stunner that feels like a million different colors in one bottle.

Like I said, I think that pretty much every single color in their shop are colors that I would love to own, and I don't usually feel that way.

Head over to Alchemy Lacquers and get some goodies for yourself!

Crazy Eyes!

Hey there...It's ten at night...why NOT write a blog post?

This is the time of night that I actually have some real quiet around here...the kiddo is sleeping, the dogs are sleeping and I don't have to work tomorrow. So, here we are! 

I saw some super crazy and super awesome nails on chalkboardnails.com. As usual...the manicures she comes up with are SUPER amazing. I am always in awe of the crazy amazing things she comes up with. For some reason, her "Over the Top Eyeball Nails" stuck with me. I have wanted to try these nails forever, and I felt really ambitious the other night.

For the original inspiration, click [here].

Here's what I came up with!

Over the top? Yes.

Super fun? Yes.

Halloween appropriate? Yes!

This mani takes lots of patience...but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Gather your colors and your dotting tools and you're set! 

See you next time!

Franken Fun!

Welcome! What do you think of my new look?

Have you heard of the act of Frankening? To franken is to take existing polish and combine them to make a custom polish with things you already have! There are tons of super cool Halloween polishes out there, for sure...problem is, they only come out to play for a short time!

I looked through all of my polishes and found some very exciting things! I started with a very sheer pearl base with pink and blue shimmer in it. I dumped out half of the bottle to prepare it for the glitters I wanted to mix in. I used three different glitter toppers to get the look I have here. 

Let's take a look, huh?

For my first "Franken polish", I am super pleased with how it came out! 

Initially I thought it was a little sheer, so I added some white and Voila!

Shreds, hexes and shimmer! I love it!

Now I understand what all the fuss is about. I can't wait to try out some other combos!

Thanks for reading!

Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer - Inspired by Dr Who

Welcome back to installment #2 of my Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer feature!

The two colors I have for you are yet to be released but will be hitting the store October 26th at 3:30pm edt.

These colors are inspired by the ever popular Dr. Who. Julie, from BEGL drew her inspiration from an episode that is one of her favorites, titled "Blink".

OY, Stupid Face!

This is a watermelon hot pink jelly that's filled with blue/purple and blue/green flakies.

In person you can see all of the colors, but the blue and purple show up the best in pictures. 

In my pictures I am wearing two coats of color and one coat of Seche Vite.

Mickey Smith. Defending the Earth.

Mickey is a hunter green linear holo with gunmetal flakies scattered throughout. I used two coats for my application, but one would have been just fine!

The application was smooth as butter and is absolutely lovely to look at!

POW! Check out that holo! In or out of the sun, this color is stunning!

As I said earlier, these two and others will be part of Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer's October 26th release that is happening at 3:30 pm edt.

As a whole, I felt like I enjoyed wearing all of the colors by Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer that I was able to try. There are quite a few more that I'm very interested in trying in the future!
