30 Day Challenge: Texture Polish

Hey Hey Hey! Today's theme is texture polish and I only have three so narrowing it down was no issue haha. I went with Julie G in Sugar Plum Fairy, which was part of the 2013 Frosted Gum Drops Collection and can be bought on their website for $3.99. This was the only textured polish I had in my stash that I had yet to wear so I thought it would perfect to use so I can cross it off of my untried list.

Two Coats with No Top Coat

Purple and Blue Gradient

I hate that I haven't been able to blog lately. I broke my nail and it was so painful to even touch! Thankfully it has healed a bit and I was able to paint my nails again. I cut all my nails so that they would all be even. School has also slowed down substantially, which is exactly what I needed to get back into painting my nails.

I don't know if it is just me but this manicure seems a bit mermaid-esque, I like it and hopefully you agree. Although it has been pretty cold here in New York and is even supposed to snow tonight, I'm not going to let it stop me from enjoying spring pastels.

Until next time, PEACE!

Mish Mash Challenge - Purple

This is the first challenge I am joining in on and I'm really excited! The ladies who put this lovely challenge together are absolutely amazing! I think its rather managable, one post every week so it seems like the right first challenge to participate in. I actually found out about this challenge yesterday so I quickly whipped something up.

The theme for July 31st is PURPLE. Like I said I found out about this challenge yesterday so I kept it simple and wanted to do something easy. What's easier than stripes? The manicure below is using 6 different shades of purple that I had hidden in my nail polish arsenal.

Matteselite - Fucci-licious

Sinful Colors - Sweet Tooth

Essie - Lilacism

Jordana - Purple Punch

Revlon - Bold Sangria

OPI - You're Such A Budapest

I put a matte top coat just so the stripes can be seen a little easier in the photographs. The matte top coat I used for the pictures below is Warpaint Beauty - Mattify from Hot Topic: 

Sorry for the bombardment of pictures, it's just so easy to get good pictures when it's matte! 

Sinful Colors Candy Coated Swatch {Sugar Rush Collection}

So awhile back I got five colors from the sinful colors sugar rush collection. This is candy coated, it is a really pretty lavender color but I would say it kind of looks a bit periwinkle. I think it is a great spring color and I couldn't keep my eyes off of it when I had it on my nails.

 

Coverage was pretty good, it took two coats to get the color to the opacity it is above. The formula was also very nice and was not hard to work with.
