Hello dolls!<br />
<br />
It's been a few days since my last post and I've missed you all haha ;) For my 3rd festive mani of the season, I decided to tackle no. 2, "Santa/Rudolph". I decided to use some <a href="http://www.staceyhenderson.jamberrynails.net/">Jamberry</a> wraps that I received from rep Stacey Henderson :)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the thing I like most about Jamberry nail wraps is that they're easy to use and really helpful when you're in a pinch. I mean I slapped this look together pretty quickly before heading out the door to work. And since I'm pressed for time these days, I can use all the help I can get in the manicure arena haha. For those who are unfamiliar with how these wraps work, listed below are the application instructions...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used Jamberry wraps in the past and am really surprised at how the product has expanded. On the plus side, the wraps are good for multiple manicures because they don't "dry out" like other wraps tend to. This means you can use them as a full manicure, or mix and match like I have doe here and still have plenty to spare. I also love that there are so many varieties of patterns and designs to choose from! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Average wear time for these wraps is between 1 - 2 weeks. I never keep a mani on for that long so I can't speak from personal experience, but I work with a lot of women who do wear them regularly and love that they can clack away on their keyboard without worrying about wear & tear on their wraps. </div>

I looked at some illustrations of snowflakes via Google Images and then just sort of went for it haha. I used a small dotting tool for my polka dots and then I top coated with OPI Matte Top Coat so that all of the details would pop.</div>

<br />
It's that time of year when I decide to personally challenge myself to some Wintery/Christmas-y nail art! I know that there are quite a few of these challenges floating around, but I've been creating one for myself since I first started blogging... so why stop now? Lol...<br />

Hello dolls!<br />
<br />
Happy Sunday to you all :) For today's SAFS post, I have swatcheses from the Brooke Anderson by Gabriel Cosmetics Nail Collection to share with you. I posted a <a href="http://fairlycharming.blogspot.com/2014/10/head-down-souch-with-brooke-anderson.html">press release</a> about these polishes last month and am thrilled to have a couple to show you...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hush Hush is a steel grey, shimmery creme polish that definitely surprised me! I'm not usually into shimmer polishes, but the formula and finish on this one is amazing. It applied like butter and is practically a one coater (which we all know I LOVE!). Shown is 2 coats with top coat.</div>

Shine Y'all is a holographic glitter bomb that certainly did not disappoint! Application was a breeze and the holo shift/sparkle is to dies for. This polish dances beautifully even in the dimmest of lighting. It has definitely earned a place among my favorites in my collection :) Shown is 2 coats with top coat.</div>

<br />
Today I thought I would share the mani that I wore while "Black Friday" shopping. My inspiration? The crazy expletives I heard when my husband and I made the mistake of stopping by Wal-Mart on our way home from Thanksgiving dinner. We just wanted to pick up a bag of hay for our baby bunny and what we got... mass chaos! So, when we finally got home, I blacked out my nails and started to doodle...<br />

This was a pretty simple one. I started with 2 coats of Eclipse and then with a detail brush, I painted my symbols with white acrylic paint. Looking at a keyboard definitely helped haha.</div>

<br />
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!! I have a quick post to share with you today. I haven't had a tone of time to spend on my nails this week, so I decided to keep my mani simple...<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with 2 coats of my base colors, with white for my accent color. I painted 3 vertical green stripes (center and both sides) with Christmas Gone Plaid and once it set I then painted 3 horizontal white stripes with acrylic paint. To get the flannel look, I used a detail brush and went back with my green polish to apply diagonal lines in alternating boxes. Doing this with nail polish was difficult, not gonna to lie. I would recommend using acrylic paint for small detail work like this. But, alas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I topped my accent nail with OPI's Matte Top Coat and the rest of my nails with a Salon top coat I get from my local nail supply store</div>

<br />
Tonight's late night mani was inspired be the oh-so-fabulous Jessica of <a href="http://instagram.com/lalalovenailart">@lalalovenailart</a>. I've had the pleasure of meeting Jessica in person and she is just awesome :) She created this look back in August and I've kept it lingering in the back of my mind as a must-do. I finally got around to it last week...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jessica got inspired by some Moroccan tile she saw on the internet when she did her mani and I loved it. I ended up choosing a color palette that gave this look a darker, more Gothic tone... but it still works right? ;)</div>

*Disclaimer </div>
Hello dolls!<br />
<br />
It's been a cool minute since my last post, but I'm back with an epic swatch fest... get excited! Today's collection is brought to you by <a href="http://www.delushpolish.com/">Delush Polish</a> and I'm obsessed. The Supreme Scream Collection is inspired by the show American Horror Story. While I have never watched the show (I'm a big scaredy pants), I think these glitter-packed polishes are on point! They look amazing both glossy and matte, so I'm showing you those options as well...<br />

Bitchcraft is a black jelly leaning towards crelly polish with a mix of pink and holo glitters varying in size and shape (including squares, circles and hex). The formula on the polish is on the thicker side but still smooth and application was easy. There wasn't a lot of fishing needed to pick up the larger circle glitters; I got about one per every brush dip. Shown is 2 coats topped with base coat (for smoothing out the glitters) and top coat.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Freak Show Spectacle is a deep plum jelly with a fun mix of circus-esque micro glitters. The formula on this polish is very ideal with easy application. I used the "dab & drag" method for the first coat and built up from there. Shown is 3 thin coats with top coat (although you could definitely get away with 2 coats if you preferred).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Night In The Asylum... it's perfection in a bottle *sigh*. This is a turquoise jelly with a mix of turquoise and holo glitters of various shapes and sizes (including circles and hexes). The formula on this polish is thinner than the others, but still a breeze to work with. There was no need for fishing for any of the glitters, which was awesome! Shown is 3 thin coats with base and top coat.</div>

<b>Delush Polish - Murder House</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Murder House is a black jelly leaning toward crelly with a mix of red and white hexes and micro glitters, along with red holo hexes and circles. Application on this polish was a little bit tricky; I did have to fish for the circles. Overall though, I really love the finished look of this polish. Shown is 3 thin coats with base and top coat.</div>

<b>Delush Polish - The Supreme</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Supreme is a gorgeous deep red jelly with a mix of red holo hexes and iridescent glitters in various sizes. This has a true jelly formula, with slight drag between coats if you're not careful. It wasn't difficult to work with. Shown is 3 thin coats with top coat.</div>

Delush Polish - Misty Day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Misty Day is a swampy green jelly with a mulit colored mix of hexes and circles. I was surprised by how much I like this one. The formula was similar to Freak Show Spectacle and I again used the "dab & drag" method to get an even spread of glitters. Shown is 3 thin coats with base and top coat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rubberman is the polish I was most excited about! It's so mysterious ;) This is a black jelly leaning toward crelly with a mix of blue holo hexes. While the formula is on the thicker side, pplication was super smooth and easy. Shown is 3 thin coats with top coat (although you could get away with 2).</div>

Ok so for a quick summation of this mani, I applied 2 coats each of my creme bases (CG and SH). I then sponged on the glittery Holo Hangover (a technique I plan to go in depth with in a later post!). Then I poured over multiple houndstooth tutorials <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=houndstooth+tutorial&biw=1680&bih=952&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=aXJlVILRLOTWiQKr1oGADQ&ved=0CCEQsAQ">I found through Google</a> and with a detail brush and scrylic paint, I painted my design :)</div>

I decided to recreate a <a href="http://fairlycharming.blogspot.com/search?q=splatter">splatter mani</a> that I did 2 years ago because a) I thought I could do it much better this go around and b) I'm pretty sure I've only used these pens one other time since then haha. I found these pens at Urban Outfitters years ago, but I know that NPW products can be found online (Amazon, eBay and their website).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This look is pretty simple to create even though it may look a little overwhelming. I just blobbed and pulled until I liked the splatter shape and then placed some dots at random. It's supposed to mimic paint splatter so it really doesn't have to look "perfect". This look could also be achieved with dotting tools or a tooth pick; nail art pens are not a must ;)</div>

<br />
I hope you all are enjoying a fantabulous weekend! I was so excited that it finally got cool enough to feel like Fall last weekend and today... we're back to 90 degree weather. I'm so mad!! but, I'm not going to let the weather keep me down. For today's mani I have a simple nail art look inspired by my new favorite color for this season, wine/burgundy...<br />

Hey dolls!<br />
<br />
Today I have some swatches from a new indie on the scene, Simply Beautiful :) I was approach by maker Ashanti about swatching some of the polishes from her new brand and I happily obliged!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Golden Bronze is a copper-leaning gold that was surprisingly creamy in application. I applied 2 coats but could have easily gotten away with one. I don't usually go for polishes like this, but I really enjoyed this one. It looked like shimmery butterscotch on my nails; good enough to eat haha. Shown is 2 coats with top coat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Periwinkley is a polish jam-packed with blue micro and silver holo glitters. The formula on this one is on the thicker side, so I used the dab and drag method when applying. The pay-off was well worth it because it is a beautiful color! Shown is 2 coats with top coat. </div>

Old Gold is a sheer gold jelly with opalescent shimmer that shifts from yellow to green. While I don't think it was flattering for my skin tone, it is a very neat looking polish. I think it could be an awesome jelly-sandwich with a green glitter :) Shown is 2 coats with top coat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sacred Diamonds is a mix of gray, black and holo silver glitters, As with all glitter/glitterbomb polishes, the dab and drag method is highly recommended with this polish (especially as this polish is on the thicker side). The sparkles in this polish certainly make it worth the effort :) Shown is 2 coats with top coat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Brilliance is a gold holo glitter polish. Of the 6 that I swatched, this ones's my favorite! It's an Amazing compacted glitter polish; almost a 1 coater (swoon!). The formula is excellent as well, very easy to use. Shown is 2 coats with top coat.</div>

Simply Beautiful - Popping Bottles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Popping bottles is a fun glitter topper of silver holo stripe, triangle and hex glitters. I expected to have some "fishing" issues because of the glitter shapes, but I was surprised to find this topper easy to work with. Again, I used the dab and drag method to get an even spread of glitters on each nail. This totally gives of a club vibe haha. Shown is 1 coat over black with top-coat.</div>

Hello dolls!<br />
<br />
Today I have teamed up with <a href="http://lover.ly/">Loverly</a> to design a cute wedding nail art look! When searching through their collection of gowns, I came across one that made me reminisce on my own wedding day. Knee-length, ivory and sweet. I didn't want any frills on my day, just the simple joy of sharing our vows in front of our loved ones. My one regret is that my nails were kind of blah on my wedding day. i was too stressed and too busy to do anything cute *tear*. So when I was approach by Loverly to do this collab, I thought, "Yay! I get a second chance!!"...<br />

Trick Or Treat is a pale orange crelly with a mix of glitters in various sizes and shapes. This was a Limited Edition (LE) polish for October that unfortunately has sold out.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Murder House is a burgundy holo with tango-red, gold and neon pink flakies in it. The holo finish in the polish is very subtle, but lovely. I wore this polish for a couple of days actually. This polish is currently available in the PANC store and it's on sale! Shown is 2 coats with topcoat.</div>

<br />
The formula on PANC's are overall really great, I've never had an issue.

I have a quick and easy mani to share with you today... falling pumpkins! I don't know what my obsession is with painting small things on my nails right now lol. First acorns, then eyeballs, then skulls and now some pumpkins inspired by <a href="http://instagram.com/clairelofthouse">@clairelofthouse</a>...<br />

No... that's not a typo! Haha Fallen Angle is a royal blue jelly with holo blue triangles, siver and blue hexes and mirco glitters mixed in. Get it? Angle?? Because of the triangles???

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pine-ing For Yule is the 2014 Toys For Tots charity polish. It's adorbs! This glitter topper is Christmas tree inspired with a mix of green triangles, red stars, silver hexes and micro glitters. I had absolutely no issue with the glitters coming out of the bottle; this is a very compacted polish. I used the "dab & drag" method again in my application. Shown is 1 coat over a white base with base and top coats used to smooth the glitters. For each bottle sold at <a href="http://kbshimmer.com/">kbshimmer.com</a> from 11/1 - 12/15, $4 will be donated to Toys For Tots.</div>

<b>KBShimmer - Spot Sign</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spot Sign is a mix of black leopard spot shaped glitters, black dots, small black hexes and micro holographic sparkle. This polish is actually apart of the Winter 2014 collection, but was released a little early due to all of the excitement behind this new glitter. It's pretty much the coolest glitter topper that's come out in a long time. I lurvs it :) You would think the application on this would be a bear, but it really wasn't at all. An average of 2-3 leopard spots came out on the brush with each dip. I dabbed and brush; very little "glitter placement" was needed for me. Shown is 2 dabbed coat over How You Dune? with top coat.</div>

<br />
I changed my mind since yesterday. I am NOT over the Halloween manis lol. I was just lacking inspiration, but then out of the blue yesterday I decided I wanted to try skulls. Executing this thought in my head was more difficult than I thought, but once I figured it out it was a cinch.<br />

Colors Used: Mentality - Tempest, Sally Hansen - White On, Acrylic Paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with my matte base color, Tempest. This beauty only needs one coat; it's my favorite of my Mentality collection ;) I then took the end of a nail art brush (because I don't have a dotting tool this large) and placed large white dots on my nails.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then took a detail brush and applied white stripes (with acrylic paint because it's easier to work with) for the jaws. I straightened out the jaws with a swipe of Tempest across their bottoms and topped with Mentality Matte Top Coat.</div>

<br />
I have a quick and simple Halloween mani to share with you today. Not gonna lie... I think I might be over the Halloween nails lol.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-WfhpD9ovRpj2ZeHo6Ndcv4gXecmtlHYnqWw1YyZVyQHYlIPxhsmMh0t5i0-CdzUAQlUw8WtODGIhJQhodsaHZy3gwQNbzwiQV6poB_25lh2dUMqb_KojiHHqW3D29cca3IX5y5_wVN71/s1600/nail+426.0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-WfhpD9ovRpj2ZeHo6Ndcv4gXecmtlHYnqWw1YyZVyQHYlIPxhsmMh0t5i0-CdzUAQlUw8WtODGIhJQhodsaHZy3gwQNbzwiQV6poB_25lh2dUMqb_KojiHHqW3D29cca3IX5y5_wVN71/s1600/nail+426.0.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Color Used: Candy Lacquer - Candy Corn-flower</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought this glitter topper might make a good candy corn gradient and I'm so glad I tried it! This polish is a huge mix of glitters. Hexes, squares, flowers, dots... all different sizes and in candy corn colors. It's so cool! I was gifted this polish by the sweet <a href="http://www.kelliegonzo.com/">KellieGonzo</a> and I love it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To achieve this look, I used a latex-free makeup sponge and dabbed on the glitter. I was careful to not pile on the glitter when applying and went through about 3 times with this coats. I topped it with a base coat to smoth out the glitter and then applied my regular top coat.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Super simple!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This polish was released in 2012 and I can't seem to find it available by anyone online (such is the way with indies). BUT! I do know that other indies have candy corn toppers available now. You could also approach an indie and ask for them to make a custom polish for you like this one (if you're as crazy about polish as I am lol). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Until next time!</div>

when first applying, but with 2 coats opacity was easily achieved.</div>

This polish is a mix of black stripe, gold square, gold hex and micro silver glitters in a clear base. I applied 2 coats over a white base. The glitter smoothed out very nicely when top coated (I will talk more about the top coat at the end of this review...)</div>

This polish is definitely my favorite of the four! It is a gorgeous cerulean blue with bright hex and micro holo glitter mixed in. This is anothe sheer jelly that built up beautifully in 3 thin coats. I had difficulty getting the bright hexes out with the brush. I had to do some fishing and glitter placement, but it was worth the effort because this polish is just so pretty!</div>

<b>Dragon Claw Polish - Diamond Claw Top Coat</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I have to tell you about this top coat... Oh my word is it amazing!! I applied it over each polish that I swatched and it's probably one of the fastest drying top coats I've ever used (which is saying a lot since it took me about 2 years to find my staple top coat!). The very first time I applied it, I was in shock. By the time I got to painting my pinky nail, my thumb was already dry to the touch! Even more than that, the top coat passed my "3 minute rub test" where I rub my thumb 3 mins after application. There was no smudging. None! To top it all off, 10 mins after that I did the "smush/fingerprint test", and while some firm pressing did leave an imprint on my nail, before my eyes the imprint refilled itself like it was receiving a botox injection and went back to it's smooth and glossy state. Amazing!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Over all I was pleasantly surprised by this new brand. I am so excited to see what happens in it's future! </div>

As you may already know, I am currently obsessed with Painted Polish's collection of holos. They're unbelievable!! I had the pleasure of meeting the maker, Lexi, at a nail blogger/indie maker meet-up in LA last weekend. Not only is she sweet as pie, but I was able to *almost* round of my collection of her polishes. "Black Widow, Baby" is a part of Lexi's Haloween Trio of holos and it's a black jelly base with holo glitter mixed in...</div>

I applied 2 coats and let it set (about 5 mins). I then used the black widow decals, that Lexi provided with this trio, on me ring finger. With a thin striper, I painted my webs and spider and then I top coated. Simple, just how I like it hahaha.</div>

Today's post is probably some of the busiest nail art I've done in a while. While I prefer simple/clean looking nail art, I wanted to get some more practice in with acrylic paints. And... well... I just love Halloween manis ;)<br />

So I thought what about a bubbling cauldron? I'm loving bubble art right now! Then the classic Shakespearean witches chant popped into my head. "Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble!" I was sold. A witch mani it would be!</div>

I did this in stages because I had very limited time on my hands (ha!). I stared with my base colors (2 coats for each), top coated and went to work. I woke up the next day and started on my design with acrylic paint. I need more practice with letters *sigh*. But I do love the way the witch and cauldron came out :D </div>

<br />
I'm continuing on with my Halloween manis and I decided to try out a design I saw last year and absolutely loved. It's called "Abstract Candy Corn" and I was inspired by the ever so talented <a href="http://www.adventuresinacetone.com/2013/10/tutorial-tuesday-abstract-candy-corn.html">Adventures in Acetone</a>...<br />

After the time consuming eyeball mani from yesterday I decided I wanted something simple. I had considered sponging, but wasn't really feeling that mess haha, so I decided on striping instead :)</div>

After applying my base coat of white, I went back with my yellow polish and , using the brush, painted the top half of my nails yellow. I then went back thru with a striping brush and added my abstract-y middle. Everything was top coated and... tada! That;s all there is to it :D</div>
