Kitty Loves

I am an animal lover. I've always had animals, usually more furry, feathered, scaly and finned friends than people in my house. But my Son is extremely allergic to cats and I don't have time to excercise a dog nor room for one to run so we are petless for now. I love seeing everyones fur babies and so I was inspired to do a Kitty love mani.

I used a base of Essie Great Expectations and two coats of Orly Rock Candy.

I used SmART nails stencil No 44 with China GlazeHeli-Yum for the hearts, I turned the decal at an agle so it worked more like a semi circle at the base. Then I used No 28 with ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly which in real life gives a great fur affect. I hate to take this off it turned out so cute and I've gotten so many compliments.

I know shut up woman and show us the peecturz...

Man Glaze Review and Swatches (~~) \m/

I Recieved a wonderful package from Marc of Man Glaze, with samples to swatch and review.

I am honored and Marc is a doll!

First I have to say that the graphics and packaging is nothing short of Bad Ass!

My husband Chris even stole one of the Man Glaze stickers and affixed it to his guitar, that is how awesome they are.

Now on to the good stuff!

First I swatched Matte is Murder

And there was no sun so these are done with my lightbox.

The multi colored shimmer is awesome. At a distance it looks like just a silver shimmer but closer inspection shows an explosion of colors and adding a clear top coat really brings the shimmer out.

I added one coat of Seche Vite over my index finger, one coat of Hot mess plus SV to my middle finger and one coat of Hot Mess without top coat to my ring finger and my pinky which is hiding I used one coat of Seche vite and then re mattified it with Matte Astrophy.

Hot Mess is the smoothest silver matte glitter and it is wicked beautiful!

With shiny top coat it changes colors in different light, in warm light it has a gol/copper reflect and in cool light it is silver with some blue tones. Personaly I love it matte.

Next is Fuggen Ugly

Fuggen Ugly is a charcoal gray with the same kind of multi colored shimmer as Matte is Murder.

Though when matte the shimmer in Fuggen Ugly looks slightly blue/silver.

Fuggen Ugly is my NOTD, I had to let Chris decide because I love them too much to pick.

I love the depth of these!

With one coat of seche Vite Fuggen Ugly is an entirely different animal.

That is some killer shimmer!

I love the eyeball skater dude!

I thought this one was funny because it shows how small my hands are....that is a standard size business card. lol Although much cooler than your typical card!

My opinions on Man Glaze:

These are the most amazing mattes I've used!

The formula is not thick and gloopy like a lot of mattes. It's a nice smooth formula, just like that of traditional polish, so you have time to smooth it and it does not show every flaw. I love that. It's the easiest matte to work with in my opinion. They dry quickly like all mattes so you really don't need a fast dry at all.

The colors are perfection! They have depth and are not boring and flat in the least. The shimmer stole my heart right off! The shimmer is subtle enough that it looks masculin on guys but still looks smokin' hot on women! Hot Mess does not remove like most glitters it was not a torture and required no more effort than any nail polish to remove and it's smooth on application, no grity glitter feel. Matte Astrophy matte top coat is awesome!

So Man Glaze is EvilAngel loved and reccomended!

This is some wickedly fab nail polish!
