Kleancolor Jelly Glitters

Hello All!

Today I just have a quick post of the Kleancolor Glitters I promised you a few posts back.  I painted 3 coats over a white base so that you guys could see the true colors.  Check them out.

FROM L to R:
Red-Hot [index], Born to the Purple [middle], Blue-eyed Girl [ring], and Fuschia Glitter [pinky]

So tell me, do you own any of these polishes?  What do you think of Kleancolor and the glitters?  Leave all your comments and questions below or email me at lacquerlover[at]hotmail[dot]com.

F21 Love & Beauty Polish

[WARNING: PIC HEAVY]

Hello Loves!

Sorry I've been gone a little while.  My boyfriend took pieces from my computer and put them into his so mine is out of commission for a while.  In the time it took him to dismantle my computer, I tried out this beautiful Love & Beauty polish from F21 called blue/green.  How creative!  No matter the name (or lack thereof) it is a gorgeous multi-chrome that looks blue, teal, and in the right light purple.  Check out this sparkly gem!

3 coats in sun

1 light coat over black in shade

     

pointer and ring fingers: 1 coat over black

middle and pinky fingers: 3 coats

in shade without sparkle

blurry for sparkle effect

in shade: love that smudged pinky. arg!

In the 3rd and 4th pics, you can really see the purple come through.  So I have to say I'm pretty impressed with this polish considering how cheap it was.  If you like this look, you can pick up Love & Beauty polishes at Forever 21 for $2.80 a pop.  Not bad!

Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl

Hi all!

I have just a quick post of a beautiful purple jelly.  Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl has little bits of purple and pink micro-glitter and bears a striking resemblance to Confetti Happy Birthday...in photo that is.  If anyone has these two colors, I would love to see a comparison.  And just a little forewarning, these pics are not the best in the sizes they are shown.  If you want the full effect, just click the pic to enlarge it.  Enjoy!

These pics don't even begin to convey the amazingness of what's in the bottle, but I did the best I could.  The sad part is that I didn't even capture one fleck of glitter on any of my nails.  Only the bottle.  Wah!

popBeauty Ultraviolet w/ a Sugar Coat

Hello Lovelies!

Today I have for you something amazing.  Something that will blow you away.  Something that really reminds me of unicorn puke...er.  :\  On my last trip to Ulta I picked up quite a few popBeauty colors.  If you remember, the Turquoise was the first and today I'm going to show you Ultraviolet.  Below you will see two coats of the pop and one of Kleancolor's Sugar Coat.

Sugar Coat contains lots of iridescent micro-glitter with chunks of hexagonal glitter in a clear base.

Alright now.  As you can see I'm completely in love with this manicure and these polishes.  My friend Robin brought me a ton of different Kleancolor glitters.  I'll have to swatch them all for you guys soon.

Have a wonderful, colorful day!

OPI Russian Navy (Suede)

Today I wanted to show off my new little love...OPI Russian Navy (Suede).  Think me silly, but I soooo didn't know what the suede effect was before I bought this polish.  Needless to say I didn't quite enjoy it as much as the original Russian Navy, but hey!  It's still gorgeous.  The following pics are of two effortless coats and no TC.  I do apologize for the lighting, but it was raining like crazy and really dark outside.  My kitchen lighting didn't do too bad of a job I think.  You tell me:

I'm really glad I talked myself into buying this polish, and I feel like it's very appropriate for the upcoming Fall season.  I can't wait for it to get here, but it still feels like Summer outside.  I'm ready for the darker colors and warmer clothing.

OPI I Love DKMS...Let's Save Some Lives People!

OPI's Helping Hand

"This fall, OPI partners with non-profit DKMS, making getting a manicure more important that ever.  The nail polish brand has created a duo of lacquers named I Love DKMS that aid in DKMS's fight against leukemia.  OPI will donate $20,000 of proceeds from the two colors (a crimson red and a shimmer white) which will contribute to promoting their efforts.  And if you want to get even more involved, becoming a potential bone marrow donor is as easy as requesting a free pre-postaged swab kit on the DKMS website (the most qualified donors are usually between the ages of 18 and 27).  Visit getswabbed.org to learn how to save a life in the same amount of time it takes your nails to dry."

Now I'm not crazy about red polishes but for the cause I will definitely pick up both colors.  Will you?

popBeauty Turquoise

Hey all!

It feels like it's been forever since I've posted anything, but the past couple of weeks have been hectic.  Now I finally have a minute to show you an amazing color that I picked up last week.  It is so creatively named "turquoise" by popBeauty which you can find at their website, apparently at CVS (huh?), or you can be like me and pick up some bottles at Ulta for $10 a pop...lol!  Get it?  A pop!  Anyway...

[DISCLAIMER: excuse my messy and injured cuticles and fingers.]
This is three coats in direct sunlight.

A nice little shady pic.

I love how it came out exactly the way it looks in the bottle.

This is on my left hand to show you what two coats looks like.

So my first impression of pop polish?...I couldn't wait to get my hands on a bottle.  The finish of this color is similar to the Orly Plastix collection but with a little bit of jelly.  I am so happy that I bought it and three others.

So tell me?  Have you purchased any pop polishes?  If so, what's your opinion?

Shatter Over Splatter

So just a quick post cuz I have to be at work in 45 minutes.  In participation with OPI's Facebook event: Day of Shatter!, I came up with a really fun mani.  OPI Silver Shatter over a lime and blue splatter.  Check it out!

So the pics are terrible, but like I said, I'm just trying to get ready for work.  Ugh!

WHAT I USED:
Sinful Colors - Innocent
Love & Beauty - Blue
OPI Silver Shatter

Splatter Paint and My Latest Haul

Hello All!

This post is probably going to be really short because my BF is coming to pick me up for dinner and I don't have a lot of time.  So anyway, he just got back from out of town, and while he was gone I went shopping to make myself feel better and to not be so lonely.  Here is what I picked up:

First of all, excuse the mess and the background.  lol.  Anyway, I went to Ulta and found some great deals.  From L to R is Essence What  Do U Think?, Ulta Pro Green With Envy, Sally Hansen Sequin Scandal, and then a great butterLONDON gift set with Powder Room scented polish remover (smells like baby powder...terrible) and No More Waity, Katie.

After all these great items I got, I came home and used none of them.  I decided to save them for a special day and do a splatter paint manicure instead.  I've been seeing them a lot lately and they all look amazing, so I thought I'd try my hand at it.  Here is what was created:

WHAT I USED:
Nail Life base coat
Hard Candy Beetle - 2 coats
1st layer splatter - Orly Snowcone
2nd layer splatter - CG Liquid Leather
SV top coat

I was really pleased with myself and all my friends want me to do them too.  We'll see.  I loved how the cream colors complimented the Hard Candy duo-chrome and toned it down a little.  Thanks to whoever created the splatter paint mani.  I love it!

It looks like this post wasn't so short after all.  Have a great Thursday!

Twitter!

Ok so no mani today, but tomorrow I will put one up and a pretty darn great one just to point out.  This is just a quick post to let my very few followers and any future followers know that I have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon.  I don't really understand it, but I'm working on it.  Have a good night everyone.
