NOTD - Zoya Veruschuka

Okay so I finally took the dive and purchased a matte nail polish. I never felt like I needed a matte since I have a matte top coat, oh how wrong I was. This stuff is amazing. The formula is outta this world. It stayed wet long enough for me to smooth it out, yet it dries really fast once it's on. This is the perfect polish to get your nails covered when you are in a rush and wanna look fabulous.

I love how this looks on my skin tone - I'm seriously in love with this polish lol. 

 I recently ordered some ManGlaze matte polishes too, so stay tuned for those :) 

Amazing texture on this  too!

Konad Stamping

Before I removed my last mani I decided to attempt  some stamping. I am HORRIBLE at stamping, but I figured if I keep practicing that it will get better eventually, at least that's what I keep telling myself for lol.

  I used Orly Shine, it didn't give a crisp enough stamp. It's probably user error for sure. It wasn't too horrible, so I figured I would show you guys. Maybe I should have named this post Stamping Gone Wild lol.  When Bad Stamping happens to Good People (thanks to Lori for giving me that idea).

 

Below is the plate I used, since it's impossible to tell what I used with my less than mediocre attempt lol. I used Konad plate M64

Thanks for visiting today.

Untried Saturday No. 3 - Nicole by OPI In Your Hands and NK Royal Blue Frost

My Untried Saturday Mani posted Late :) I tackled 2 untrieds in this one. The Layers are as follows...

*Essie Feed Me

*Essie Sensitivity Base Coat

*Nicole by OPI In Your Hands (3 thin coats - Blue    Jelly)

*NK Royal Blue Frost

*Essie Good to Go

*SV Ultra-V Top Coat

I figured it would be fun to start listing exactly what I use as my base, layers and top coats.

Next is with Flash

Super awesome texture showed up once I layered on the Royal Blue Frost

I got the Royal Blue Frost in a swap a couple of years back. These are my favorite type of polishes. I know there are lots of HTF (Hard to Find) polishes out there that are very popular, but the true treasure are the less known brands just hiding out in your collection. 

What's hiding in your collection? Would love to hear about your Hidden Treasures, leave your thought below in the comments.

NOTD - Princess Nails :)

Well it's Saturday and I am supposed to have a untried Saturday up and I don't akkkk. I'm going to post it tomorrow instead, so make sure you check back:) 

The reason I am late is we have Kelly's Grandkids here - 3 off them and 2 extra adults so my house is WILD!!!!, but I love it. It is so nice to have them all here. I love a loud house filled with kids laughing and having fun. 

The youngest, Hayden, wanted her nails done so badly. She received a princess press on nail set for Christmas and wanted them on when she got here hehehe. 

Now I'm not good at doing anyone's nails , but my own - so I went for it lol. 

Too cute :) Now keep in mind these were really cheapy kinds that you buy in a toy store type, so they were real bad hahaha. We had a blast putting them on. I made the mistake of sticking them on before filing and it was so hard getting a little one to stay still for filing lol - but so much fun too!  They lasted about 1/2 hour :) she ripped them off  hehehe.

She was so excited that I took pictures too lol.

I had to practically cut the nails in half length wise. I was kinda shocked how long they were especially since they are made for kids - who's making these crazy daggers for little kids lol - and of course I couldn't cut them too short and cut into the pictures like she made sure to remind me of over and over "don't cut into the pictures please" hehehe.

 I showed her how to hold her hand and this was her version. I squealed from the cuteness of this hand pose.

 

TOOOOO CUTE!!!

Thanks for visiting guys. Tomorrow I will have my Saturday untried up one day late :) 

New Revlon Display at Kmart with Revlon Whimsical

I finally tracked down a bottle of Revlon Whimsical (dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Glitter in The Air) at Kmart. I know some of you have found it, and others are still looking for it.  If you happen to still be looking, here is what the display looks like.  It was large and on the end cap. Sometimes I find it easier to find something if I know what I'm looking for.  So I hope this helps those who are still on the hunt for this polish.

(Sorry for the poor quality of this photo - taken with an ancient I-phone 3S)

Here are the polishes I purchased from that display. There was no resiting these sparkly beauties.

Left to Right: Popular, Scandalous, Stunning, Radiant and Whimsical.

 

Now, on to some random thoughts I have about Whimsical. Please keep in mind for now I have not used this polish yet. I don't particularly like this color at all. It's too light for me, and I avoided purchasing it for that. I do not buy polishes just because of the 'hype'.

I did have a change of heart recently. I saw a lovely swatch of it over a dark pink polish, and thought it was beautiful. I decided after that I needed it in my collection.

 Hope if you are still looking for Whimsical that you do find it soon.
