Don't judge Coral

I grabbed an oldie but a perfect summer goodie!
China Glaze No Morals Coral
Oh the chemical goodness that once was
Glass flecks, pink shimmer, coral base and pure gorgeous!
(No Morals coral has always been impossible for me to get a color accurate picture)
It's not nearly as orange as the pictures look but a perfect coral with a subtle pink shimmer mixed with glass fleck
This picture is closer to accurate
I adore this color and even though it is not B3F I love it and don't mind her immoral nature! :o)

A little Halloween gift to you my lovely readers......

I love you all so dearly that I though for Halloween you deserved something very special....
I give you my HEART!
Muahahahahahahahaha!
Oh it get's worse
As you can tell I'm a bit of a "bleeding heart"
Maybe I should've saved this idea so you could be my Bloody Valentines!
*giggle*
The glamour shot!
Before the gore....sort of
Even Dexter fears my claws
The Base color is China Glaze Encouragement
Then I sponged Impala Matte Vermelo veludo at the very tips for depth and darkness
(Thank you Sarah)
Then I sponged a layer of China Glaze Dripping wet just over it for a thick wet look
Last I sponged Risque Niasi Cremoso for a perfect blood spatter
(again thank you Sarah)
And topped it all with a coat of Seche Vite

I love the way this turned out...just like it was in my head. (a scary place few dare to roam)
I have a couple of less gorey Halloween mani's coming

Lilac tears franken

I was in the frankening mood last night and this is where I ended up
A pink toned lilac with soft blue shift and silver flecks

I am very happy with the turn out

Oh it's love...or at least strong lust

I made it all with raw pigments

Thinking up my next franken!

A very soft sweet baby pink with a beautiful sprinkling of glass fleck shimmer.
This is no boring baby pink! I think if you are one of those that need work appropriate color but want to a little fun....this is ideal! A little sheer, this is 3 coats but worth it in my opinion.

Empowerment is something all women deserve!
Empowerment is a lovely bubblegum pink creme.
Everyone needs a good bubblegum pink creme in their collection!
This is 2 coats with no top coat.

To be a strong and conquering woman you'll need Endurance!
Endurance is a stunning hot pink glass flecked jelly.
It is sheer as most jellies are. This is 3 coats. I absolutly adore this color and if you only get one color from this collection I highly reccomend Endurance!

Great job China Glaze! I honestly did not think I would be impressed with these but color me wrong!

Piggy Polish review and swatches

First I have to say that I've seen swatches of Piggy Polish a few times
but when I opened the box and saw the colors in real life I was/am WOW'd!!
I was sent these 6 colors:


Frosty- a Silvery white metallic
This is Two coats and it is slightly sheer but I don't think I'd like it as much opaque.
Slightly streaky as is with all metallics but very nice application and not hard to work with.
Wild Side- Purple with pink undertones nearly duochrome.
Love this color. It is deeper in person and just flowed right on like magic.
Pink-ing of you- Glass flecked hot pink jelly with silvery pink metallic glitter.
This is a must have color in my opinion. It is perfect for tips or toes and so fun for Summer.
Polar Sea Ice- Medium teal creme with silver glitter.
This is two very thin coats, one thicker coat would work great as well.
A great sparkling twist on the sassy summer teal.

Can you feel the love!
Marmaid- Sheer green opal shimmer. This is mermaid scales in a bottle!
I adore this color. This is 2 coats alone but I know this will be an amazing layering polish as well.
I will be wearing this alone and layered a LOT!
World Peach-Stunning Peach/Pink/Gold duochrome sheer shimmer.
This is two thin coats and trust me once you have this on you will not care if there is a little vnl.
This color is so gorgeous, it's hard to take your eyes off. It reminds me of a sunset.
Another that will be a fabulous layering polish as well as stand alone.

All in all the Piggy Polish shades that I recieved:
-The bottles are adorable
-The formula on all of them is fantastic
-The colors are unique and very fun
-The brush is very nice, fans well not too wide or stiff...just right.
I will be buying more!

Do you own any Piggy Polish? What are your favorite colors?

I have Burnt Buns!

China Glaze Burnt Buns....love the name!
This one is such a fun glowy color. A Coralish pink with silver glass flecks.
It's a little sheer but three coats gives nice coverage.

Still no sunshine so all pictures were taken with my lightbox.
These are very color accurate.



What do you think of my Burnt buns?
