Ozotic 534

Not much to say about this polish other than that it is packed full of holo goodness.  This was my first Ozotic and it certainly didn't disappoint!  Shown here over Rimmel Black Satin.

Red Carpet Lacquers

Earlier this month I ordered a couple of polishes from Red Carpet Lacquers on Etsy.  They have been sitting here staring me in the face waiting for me to try them out since they arrived and today was finally the day.  I had some trouble deciding what to swatch them over but finally decided on OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  If you have other suggestions that you would like to see them swatched with, let me know and if I have it I will try it.  Both polishes are glitter polishes and are therefore a bit thick; this is a good thing!  As far as application, again, for a glitter I found them to be just as I would expect them to be meaning that you do have to work to place some of the larger pieces.  It is totally worth it though for the end result.  For both polishes what you see is one thickish coat over the base with a coat of Gelous and a topcoat of Seche.
First up is Toro.  Red, black, and white goodness!  I contemplated swatching this over black, but I didn't want to lose the black glitter.  That said, it is hard to see the white glitter in the mix but I promise it is there.  Mine seems to be missing the black squares that appear in the shops bottle shot and description, but it is beautiful nonetheless.



Then there is Hitter.  This one is packed with various sizes and shapes of black, blue, and purple glitter.  Again, great application and how fun is that??!!




What do you think?  Do you own any Red Carpet Lacquers?  Will you be stocking her shop for either of these beauties?

Summer Sunrise

So today's challenge is "Summer Sunrise".  I had a tough time with this one, trying to decide how I wanted it to look and what colors to use.  I ended up with a base of Revlon Sunshine Sparkle and sponging on China Glaze Papaya Punch and Dance Baby, followed by a coat of Fairy Dust for some sparkle.  Can't wait to see what the other ladies came up with!

Summer Challenge day 5 - Favorite Summer Color

 I know I have missed a couple of other days during the challenge but it has been an awful week!  I will spare you the details though and get on with the post.  I had a tough time deciding on a color for this one, there are so many colors I love right now!  I finally settled on this beauty.  This was one of the first Cult Nails polishes I bought and I love them!  I just placed my pre-order for the new Fairy Tale collection.  If you haven't tried Cult Nails yet....you need to, seriously; just do it!  Doesn't this color just remind you of a perfect summer sky?

Summer Challenge Day 3 - Summer Dots

Today's challenge is Summer Dots.  This one started with a base of Orly's Decades of Dysfunction from the Dark Shadows collection.  I love this polish!  It is a very pale pink...almost looks beige at times, but gorgeous.  I added dots in four shades, China Glaze Aqua Baby and Riveting, Finger Paints Pretty as a Portrait and Zoya Kimber.  Topcoat of Seche.  Be sure and check out the other ladies who are participating in the challenge!

Daisy Nails- Purple Crumpet Fairy's Summer Challenge

A while back I decided to participate in the Purple Crumpet Fairy's Summer Challenge.  I missed the first day and I'm sure with my schedule the way it is right now I will probably miss more but I'm going to try!  At any rate, today's challenge is "Chelsea Flower Show".  Living in the US, I'm not too familiar with this, but I'm told it is a big deal in the UK and it's an excuse for flower nails.  This mani also happened sort of by accident the other night following a Twitter exchange with The Little Canvas where she suggested I try daises.  Without further ado, here is my flower mani!  Base is Cult Nails Devious Nature.


Here is a list of participants, be sure to check out their blogs as well!
