So over the past three years I have delved into makeup and nail polishes. And recently I have decided to learn nail stamping. This blog is dedicated to my love of both.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02997538249885073428noreply@blogger.comBlogger33125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471567976254368.post-87246522171530991732013-05-04T13:00:00.000-05:002013-05-04T13:04:55.289-05:00bondi New York Horney MistressCould it be? Yes, I am finally back in the blogging sphere!!! After my laptop crashing and unable to get it fixed for a while, meeting the man of my dreams, getting pregnant and having a miscarriage and then moving to Golden, Colorado, I am finally back. So excited to be blogging again. My first blog back is a review on the new polish line by bondi New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
Let me just start off by saying what incredible customer service they have. I am truly impressed. I received the coupon code in my email but missed the expiration date. I ordered the color I wanted to try and paid for it anyway, since my coupon code had expired. I mentioned it on the chat link and next thing I know, I am getting a refund to my Paypal. What a lovely gesture. Thank you so very much bondi New York.<br />
<br />
The color I ordered was Horney Mistress. Great names by the way...love it! I can only describe this shade as a rich, gorgeous, sexy, deep red. Of course, my camera doesn't pick up the richness of the red but it is amazing! These polishes are also 5 free. Which means they are free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, DBP and toulene. Just about as natural as you can get.<br />

Please excuse my ragged and dry cuticles. I am trying to acclimate to this very arid and dry climate. It is quite a change from humid Houston, Texas. Once again the true hue of the red doesn't show, it is a deeper, richer red. I love that you can get full coverage with one coat of polish for those times when you are in a rush. It drys quickly too. These pictures are one coat with base coat and no top coat.<br />

Yay!! I see some blogging in my future! I ended up having to buy a new hard drive and system restore discs. I have worked on my laptop all day and I am finally up a running. It's about freaking time, right?!?! I'm thinking about doing a stash inventory blog series now that I have it all organized with my new Helmer. What do you think? Would you guys like to see my stash?<br />

My work life has also hit a rough spot. I lost my job four weeks ago so I am dedicating all my time and resources to finding another source of employment. I have been searching for a job pretty much anywhere in the world that will hire me. So far, I have only had one interview. I am hoping and praying that the hard times will be over soon. But until I can get a job and move on with my life away from this horrible place I am putting my blog on the back burner. I thank all my followers for supporting me and hopefully I will be back soon.<br />
<br />
Love and polish,<br />

I wanted to do a St. Patrick's Day manicure but I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do! Here is what I ended up doing. First, I was going to do all my fingers the same color with a stamp but the color I wanted to stamp with was too thin to stamp with so I had to go to plan B.</div>

Reading vs. China Glaze Electrify<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been wanting to do this comparison since the first swatches of the China Glaze Capitol Colours first came out. I thought they looked a lot a like and boy was I right. The only real difference in these two shades to me are the formula and ratio of red glitter . The nails inc formula is much smoother than the China Glaze. Of course being glitters they are both rough but the nails inc is just a little bit smoother. The nails inc also seems to have a more even gold to red glitter ratio where as the China Glaze has a bit more gold than red glitter.</div>

I think that on the nail Reading comes out maybe a hair darker than Electrify but I think it is mainly due to the red glitter. My Electrify also seemed a bit thick. I don't know if it was just my bottle or if it is the formula. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As far as availability the China Glaze will be your best bet as it is newly released and is reasonably priced. Unless you were lucky enough to have found Reading, the nails inc may be a little harder to come by, as it was a part of last summer's LE Music Festival Special Effects collection. I was lucky enough to grab it while I was at the Nails inc flagship store in London this past October.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what do you think? I think these two are so close that they can be called dupes. I hope you have enjoyed my first comparison post. As always, thanks for looking.</div>

Who doesn't like a gorgeous blue? That is exactly what you get with Cult Nails Tied Up. What can I say? I love blue, it is my favorite color and I love to wear it. I really don't have words for how much I loved this look. I constantly found myself staring at my nails. </div>

Unfortunately this shade from Cult Nails was only offered on Black Friday last year. Hopefully one day Maria will bring it back. There are other great shades at <a href="http://shop.cultnails.com/">Cult Nails</a> and they are awesome polishes for $10 each. Finger Paints are available exclusively from <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/Fingerpaints/fingerpaints,default,pg.html">Sally's Beauty Supply</a> for $4.99 each. Kind of a short but sweet post today. What do you think? Did you grab Tied Up when it was available? How about the LE Flakie Effects from Finger Paints? I love the flakies so much! Once again thanks for looking!</div>

Happy Mardi Gras!!! So today is the post I have been waiting for to show you my coveted nails inc. glastonbury. I bought this polish back in October when I was is London. I popped into the flagship nails inc shop and this is one of the beauties I got my hands on!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I sat in my hotel room looking at all my purchases, I thought to myself that this would be the most awesome Mardi Gras polish. I used two coats of nails inc. glastonbury layered over one thick coat of Illamasqua Boosh. (Which incidentally I bought in London on the very same day at the Illamasqua flagship shop!) </div>

Unfortunately they do not carry glastonbury. If you live in the UK or Ireland you can order directly from nails inc via their <a href="http://nailsinc.com/shop">website</a>. Illamasqua polish is also available through Sephora for $14. You can also purchase through their <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/catalogue/category/nails/products/nail-varnish/31/">website</a> and they do ship internationally.</div>

As a lot of you know I am crazy for blue so it is fitting that I do a blue layering. For this layering I decided to use <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/Fingerpaints/fingerpaints_press,default,pg.html">Finger Paints</a> Tiffany Imposter as my base with a <a href="http://mybluelacquer.blogspot.com/">My Blue Lacquer</a> franken Space Lift. </div>

I have been lemming over Lynderella nail polish since I first discovered it. I finally got my grubby paws on one. Thanks to Leah Ann of <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/">Llarowe</a> I got I Can Afford It. I love it. I almost skipped on it and I am so glad that I didn't.</div>

What do you think? Do you like it? Have you been able to snag any of the ever elusive Lynderella polishes? I was also able to get Snow Angel, Funny Money and All Hallow's Eve. I will be posting those soon. Lynderella is available on <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/">Llarowe</a> for $15 but you have to be quick when they are available because they sell out very quickly! Currently they are sold out! :( Illamasqua is available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P241720&categoryId=C21473">Sephora</a> for $14 but not all shades are carried. Illamasqua can also be purchased from the <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/catalogue/category/nails/products/nail-varnish/31/">Illamasqua website</a> for £13.50 where the full color range can be found.

Since my husband didn't want to exchange Christmas gifts this past Christmas I gave myself the awesome gift of nail polish jewelry from the lovely and talented Tracey of Ginger Kitty Designs. Here is the bracelet of black polish with Unicorn Puke/Clairvoyant layered over. I love it to death. My favorite bracelet I own.</div>

I recently saw a facebook post from Maria that said that Unicorn Puke/Clairvoyant may be a thing of the past since a key ingredient was no longer available. But hopefully they will find a replacement. I will keep you posted on that. Cult Nails polishes run $10 and are available <a href="http://www.cultnails.com/">here</a>. Illamasqua polishes are available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P241720&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5955">Sephora</a> for $14 and on their <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/catalogue/category/nails/products/nail-varnish/31/">website</a> for £13.50. Ginger Kitty Designs are sold on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GingerKittyDesigns">Etsy</a> and can be ordered in a variety of colors and designs. I hope you have enjoyed my delayed post. Sorry, I have been MIA for so long. I will try to be a better blogger! :)</div>

So my blogging resolution is not off to such a good start! Here is the NOTD I wore for New Year's Eve. I brought in the New Year with two very special colours to me. a-england Galahad because it was a gift from the lovely Adina and Barry M because I bought it while in London this past October. I figured I couldn't be in London for New Year's Eve so I would wear London on my fingertips! Please excuse my ratty cuticles in these pictures. I am wearing two coats of a-england Galahad with Barry M Blue Glitter sponged on the tips.</div>

I loved the <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/">Illamasqua</a> Festive Look so much I decided I try it with some other colors. See my first festive look <a href="http://nailsforsanity.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-layering-3.html">here</a>. Lucky for me I got the incredibly gorgeous Unnatural for Christmas and I picked up the sparkling Spartan when I was in London this past October.</div>

For this look I paired Unnatural as my base and topped it with Spartan sponged on with a cosmetic sponge. Here is the final result. I am really in love with this. Unnatural has to be the most gorgeous deep burgundy red I have ever seen! And who doesn't love a little glitter on top?!<br />

So for Christmas layering #3 I wanted to try an alternative festive design that I saw on the I<a href="http://www.illamasqua.blogspot.com/2011/11/dazzling-christmas-nail-tutorial.html">llamasqua blog site</a>. I love Illamasqua's nail varnishes, they are awesome. I knew I would not be able to do it free hand as their talented Teresa Smith does so I changed it up a bit and did the tips with a sponge instead. I love how it came out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the tutorial that inspired me to try this look. I figured I would give it a shot since I bought these when I was in London this past October.</div>

These are available at <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/catalogue/category/nails/products/nail-varnish/31/">Illamasqua</a> for £20 for the set or £13.50 each. Boosh is also available at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P241720&categoryId=C21473">Sephora</a> for $14. However, Sephora does not carry Harsh. I think I may want to try with some other shades as well. What do you think? Do you have any Illamasqua nail varnish? Have you tried sponging? Would you try an alternative no traditional look for the Holidays? I hope you enjoyed today's post. Thanks for looking.</div>

I wanted to do some thing very festive and I think I achieved my mission. For Christmas Layering #2 I used Zoya Purity as the base with China Glaze Party Hearty on top. I really like how it came out.</div>

I have been playing around with the many Christmas polishes I have been buying recently and I decided to do some seasonal layerings. I do so love a good layering. The first one is the combo of China Glaze Phat Santa with nails inc electric lane holographic topcoat. I was a bad blogger and wore this one for a week before I finally got around to taking pics. I really wanted to take these in the sun but the weather just was not co-operating with me and I have been really not feeling to great this past week. So we have light box pics of this layering. </div>

Wow! I have been silent for a while! I took these pictures after Thanksgiving and I am just getting around to posting them! I am such a bad blogger! LOL! This was my Thanksgiving manicure so there is a small bit of tip wear as I cooked a full Thanksgiving meal with this gorgeous color. Just goes to show what an incredible formula Adina of <a href="http://a-england.co.uk/">a-england</a> has in these awesome polishes!</div>

There is just not much to say other than wow! I think that Avalon is just incredible! Whenever I wear any of these gorgeous a-england polishes I get nothing but compliments. Avalon is no exception. What do you think? Have you tried Avalon or any other of the a-england polishes? I have several more to swatch and I will post those as soon as I do. Thanks for looking!<div>

I've had this NOTD on for a few days thanks to being sick. I finally got around to taking pics of it and here is what I found: Fowl Play is absolutely gorgeous in person and a PITA to capture on camera! I love the blackened purple base of this polish and the multi-color flakies in this polish are enough to make a girl swoon!</div>

Today I went with a glitter layering combining two of my favorite polishes that I got while in London. For the base coat I used the ever gorgeous Galahad by <a href="http://a-england.co.uk/">a-england</a>. I used two coats but probably could have gotten away with one. This polish applies like a dream. Thank you to the lovely Adina for this beautiful gift!! </div>

I absolutely love this shade of red. I used to be a huge red fan but lately not so much! This red is incredible. Again, went on like a dream and full coverage with two coats.<br />

I had been wanting this one for a long time! No More Waity, Katie is an awesome color. I would describe it as a glitter filled lavender. I absolutely love this one! My only qualm about this one was it was a little difficult application but nothing that couldn't be managed. Still love it. Full coverage with 3 coats.<br />

Wow, am I glad I bought it! I have one word for this color-Wowzers!! I love it! I would best describe this awesome color as a metallic olive gold green. It is amazing! Went on like butter and full coverage with 2 coats.<br />

I really was not impressed with it that much in the bottle. I liked it after I put it on but only as a work appropriate mauvy-pink. The main feeling I got from this was it seemed like a shade my mom would have worn. It really is not me. Once again went on like butter and full coverage with 2 coats.<br />

In summary, I think that this is a great line with a little something for everyone (including mom). My favorites are No More Waity, Katie, Bluey and Wallis. butter London retails for $14 a bottle but well worth the price in my opinion. I will definitely be buying more colors from this great brand. butter London can be purchased at <a href="http://www.butterlondon.com/">butter London online</a>, <a href="http://www.ulta.com/">Ulta</a>, <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/butter-london">Nordstrom</a>, <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/butter-london/qxb55514">Drugstore.com</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_sq_top?ie=UTF8&keywords=butter%20london&index=blended&pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002605MLY&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0WCEW3BPDVJ23TW67RT5">Amazon</a> to name a few.

I just love it and I am finding it very hard to take off. It is another layering. I started with China Glaze Midtown Magic as my base. Midtown Magic is a gorgeous dark purplish brown with what looks like a gold shimmer. </div><br />

Beautiful on its own but incredible when paired with Sally Hansen Pumpkin Spice. Pumpkin Spice is a sheer blackened brown base with orange glitter shattered throughout.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The end result is so utterly delicious. (Please excuse my terrible cuticles!) If it wasn't so hot here I would think it was already fall. These colors make yearn for the cooler weather. I so can't wait for that first delicious piece of Pumpkin pie! Nom nom nom! :)</div><br />
