GOT Polish- Texture. A Little Late

Image
  Colors Used: OPI- Jinx OPI- Solitaire   So, here is my THURSDAY post! A little late, I KNOW! My life is slowly going back to the crazy side and I need to gain control. While I finally hired an employee, I am still in training mode- which is difficult as well.   Anyway, on to these nails.... This weeks challenge was texture. I decided to use my OPI Bond Girls Collection because they are my favorite textures. I really got into the texture thing when it started and I still love it. They are like thermals, I will never get enough.    After I did these, I realized that they look a lot like Target inspired nails. Although I do LOOOOVE Target, that was not my intention. I was going for the modern, dotted look.   What do you think of this style? How do you feel about doing art with textured polishes? Sometimes, I find myself very limited when doing art with textured polishes. What is your favorite technique?   Don't f...

OPI and Illamasqua

Image
Yes... It's fall! I will say it again. I love all the colors and darkness of fall winter. I hate the cold though. In my perfect world, I would like to live in an area that is 70-85 degrees all year long, but still have the season changes. Minus the temperature change. You know what I mean?? Anyway, I was so excited to finally break out these sexy OPI textures as they are all dark colors and have been waiting in my Fall/Winter untrieds box for quite sometime. I decided to do a combination of the both which makes for a wicked combination. The rubber finish and the textured gritty finish is freakin awesome. I bought the Illamasqua almost a year ago and have been saving it for the perfect opportunity. I still want to do some art with it, but I have to figure out how to make the finish work with it. So, I'll have to use this sexy purple a little more *wink wink*. So, on with the pics. I am a little disappointed in how the OPI photographed, but ah well. It is so much more spa...

Julie G- Take 2!!

Well here is my 2nd Julie G polish. I love the application and coverage of this polish and I am definitely going to be getting the rest of the set. This one is called Sugar Rush! I love this color. It is such a hot little summer color. I bought both of the Julie G Gumdrop polishes I have from Rite Aid and I hoping when I go back, they will still be there. Please enjoy!! Julie G-Sugar Rush Speaking of Rite Aid.... I happened to enter their nail contest. Although I probably have 0 chance of winning, I thought it would be fun.

Julie G Gumdrops!!

So I have this fascination with all the textured polishes and I WILL buy all of them just because I am in love with the bumpy feeling on my nails. Anyway, I picked up only 2 of the Julie G colors because I was not in love with the others. I will probably get them at a later date, but right now- meh. I really really really love this color. This may be a surprise because it is not vampy at all, but I LOVE it! I hope you all do as well!! Oh P.S.- you may want to grab a napkin or something to wipe the drool off when you are done.

OPI Bond Girls Vesper and Jinx

Image
Ok ladies...here's the next installment of the Bond Girls. I decided to do a little french skittle on each nail. I was so excited for Vesper since it is my favorite color- dark, purple and vampy. I was very disappointed. I think that the sand formula and the color just did not mix. I was expecting a little more glitz. I think my expectations were so high that they were hard to meet. In addition, it was very hard to get up and needed a little extra cleaning.  Anyway, I really did like the way Jinx looked on top of the Vesper. I think that I have decided that my favorite is still Pussy Galore and Jinx is still in 2nd place. Enjoy!!

It is absolutely gorgeous and these pictures do not do it justice! You will just have to go buy this color. So far, I love Pussy Galore and Jinx. We will have to see what comes with Vespa and Solitaire! Enjoy these!

So I know I am hopping on the texture train way late, but I just got to the Mariah in my untireds and I got the Bond Girls for my birthday from A Little Polish . I am in looooooove and kicking myself for not trying them before. I now have 4 Bond Girls minis, 1 Mariah and 2 JulieGs. I cannot wait to try them all and then buy more!!! BUY THEM ALL! Also a first for me is the checkerboard. I feel like it's a slight fail, but practice makes perfect- right? Anyway, enjoy these as it is only part 1. That means there is more to come!!   OPI- Pussy Galore OPI-Can't Let Go
