Sally Hansen - Magical Collection

Ooh long time no post.. I figured I would come back from the beyond with some new purchases!  Today we had the first day of full sun in a LONG time.  I swatched it up!  These are all 2 coats over IBD UV gel base coat with no top coat and the application was FAB.  I do not know if they will be fab over all other bases.  I now need to fiddle with more holos and IBD base!

Sorry for yucky cuticles.  There is a reason I haven't been posting much lately.  Ugly finger disease.

I can haz some input?  Are these pictures too gigantic?

Purple Potion





Fairy Dust Pink




Magenta Magic



Ruby Slipper




Mystical Mandarin




Copper Cauldron




Blue Aura





Some comps! Pinky: 2NITE, Ring: Nfu-Oh 65 (most recent version), Middle: Blue Aura, Index: Ocean Rush, Thumb: Kaleidescope Him Out.



So I know I am missing Crystal Ball from this collection.  Anyone know what others I am missing? Pin It

Glitter Gal - Light As A Feather, Frappe & Lizard Belly

A very sweet lady sent these to me. She is having a giveaway right now. You should pop on over! They had to travel quite a way to get to Canada. (apologies for my borked pinky cuticle)

Please click on these pictures for a better idea of what they look like!

Light as a Feather. I tried swatching this one without a base and I didn't like the application. I tried it over a white creme and also did not like. This is 2 coats over top of Barielle Hydrading Ridge Filler. If you have it, you know it dries to a slightly milky finish. Perfect combo.






This isn't a punch in the face holo. Judging from what people had said about trying to franken the mystical white holo with the spectraflair pigment, it is hard to keep it white as the pigment is silver/grey. It is still a holo. It is gorgeous and subtle and I love it.

MOAR!

Sorry for the blurry shot. Illustrates the holo though!



Next up is Frappe. This one is quite sheer. It is a lovely light purpley pink. The holo is much stronger in this one. This is 2 coats no base no top.






Last but not least is Lizzard Belly. Lizzard Belleh. Now I have Outkast stuck in my head. (Lick you like a lizzard when I'm slizzard.)

This is 2 coats no base no top. I will let you know when I remove it if it stains or not. I hope it doesn't.. I just realized now that I put a highly opaque forest green on my nails with no base coat. ANYHOO! This puppy is pretty thick. Very opaque. This is 2 coats but I could have gotten away with 1 if I was more careful. So dark it is almost black, but it is certainly green.






Here is a bottle shot beside Nubar Reclaim


As I was outside taking pictures I noticed that what I thought were white roses are actually green?



also blurry :S

A Couple Of Chemistry Polishes

The most fabulous Kristy sent me a couple of Chemistry decants along with her ridiculous amazing franken. Dear Australia, why you gotta have all the goods?

512!




514!




I <3 these polishes! The formula was fabulous. No dragging issues whatsoever. Chemistry needs to come and set up camp in Canada. They should bring Glitter Gal and Ozotic Pro too ;o) Pin It
