Orly Macabre Masquerade

     Today, I have Macabre Masquerade from Orly's Secret Society collection to show you guys. Macabre Masquerade has silver, pink, red, teal, and navy blue micro glitter in a metallic blue base. I hope you are ready for your Valkyrie genes to be triggered. This polish is a glitter bomb. In fact it's so glittery that It was literally impossible to take pictures of this polish with a flash. So without further ado, here's Macabre Masquerade:

     In these pictures I used three coats of  Macabre Masquerade and a heavy coat of top coat.  Macabre Masquerade applies easily and dries quickly. My only real complaint about this polish is that removal is a beast. Glitter every where! I had to wash my hands twice after the polish was removed to get rid of all the clinging tiny glitters. But I still love it. Blue glitter is one of my favorite kinds of glitter. Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Finger Paints Pretty Tough Pink

     Today, I am going to show you Pretty Tough Pink from Finger Paints. Pretty Tough Pink is a textured metallic pink polish. Yeah...so I'm kind of over the whole texture polish thing, and I was not aware that this polish was a texture when I bough it. I bought it because I liked the color. So I blindly (read this as: without having seen it swatched) bought it because it was a pretty color. Then when I got it home and tried it on my nails poof: texture. But not to worry this one is actually more subtle in texture than the China Glaze, and the OPI textures. This one is like intro to nail texture.Texture for beginners...texture for those of us who are like "Meh, to texture polish." But enough trying to explain it. It's easier just to show you any way. So here (without any further ado) is Pretty Tough Pink:

     In these pictures I used one coat of Pretty Tough Pink and no top coat. That's right one coat...And it's opaque. Well played Finger Paints well played. The polish applied easily and the texture while unexpected wasn't that big of a deal on account of it's subtle nature. The one coat was pretty awesome as well. This polish also wore really well and came off super easy (when compared to other texture polish). I was able to use regular acetone polish remover not pure acetone like I have to use to remove other textures. So final verdict: I love it, even though I'm over texture polish. This one is pretty ans subtle enough I didn't end up minding the texture. Well that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO

OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby

     Today, I have Love.Angel. Music.Baby from OPI's Gwen Stefani collection to show you. Love.Angel. Music.Baby is a satin finish gold nail polish, and honestly I wasn't going to get this polish at first because none of the swatches I had seen online did it justice. But then I went into Sally Beauty Supply and saw the in store swatch (and the price $4.50 on clearance), I was like "You are coming home with me!" So I bought it and I'm so glad I did. She's such a pretty polish. But enough of my blathering, see for yourselves, here's Love.Angel. Music.Baby:

     For these pictures I used two coats of Love.Angel. Music.Baby and no topcoat (because you loose the finish if you top coat it). This polish applied easily and dried quickly. Over all a great addition and it's kind of making fall in love with satin polish. I need more satin polish in my life. Normally gold is so not my color (when you are this white it's not a good idea), but this is such a soft gold that I could actually pull it off. Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
