Love Bites! ☠ Purple Haze

This is one of the gorgeous polishes that Lisa Sent me.
Love Bites, I love the Vampire teeth, Purple Haze.





And then I decided to use the fauxnad plate. It was misprinted but most of the images are still very usable and very cool.


I Stamped using Color Club Fashion Addict.


The image was almost long enough to go the length of my nail.






I'm still playing with the lighting on my lightbox to find what works best.


I love Purple Haze and the fauxnad! Lisa you rock, I thank you bunches and send you big sloppy kisses!


Though the weather outside is frightfull my neon green nails are soooo delightful!

How says neons are for summer?
Tell me who he is, cuz I'm gonna kick in the nomans land!
I recieved this lovely little hottie in a swap with the lovely Flinty of Polish or Perish.
Pop Beauty Radioactive and since I can't leave well enough alone I added a coat of CND effects in Crimson shimmer, which you can't see in the pictures since we had no sunlight today.
P.S. I apologize for the lack of cleanup, my kids school let out early due to icy roads and snow so I never had time. :(


Isn't she lovely!


I could marry this polish if the little bish didn't demand 4 coats to be opaque.




She has mega green shimmer.


The begining of out ice and snow.

And the mail lady brought me goodies today!
The sweet and beautiful IceRozie from MUA sent me this oh so sweet xmas gift all the way from The Netherlands


Royal Petrol and look at the adorable glitter card! I love you Rozie!

And Carol (justhavingfun on MUA) gifted me with this awesome package.


From left to right:
Misa Speed of life,China glaze Solar power, Tropez Buttered Rum, Essie Status symbol, and Zoya Moxie
Plus a bunch of awesome lotion samples. You do know the way to my heart is nail polish and lotions right?
Carol is a mind reader I have really been wanting Misa Speed of life. They are all beautiful and I thank you so very much Miss Carol!

CND Effects review

I recieved some samples from CND for review:
Inkwell-A deep blackened Blue creme
Silver chrome- Metallic silver
Effects copper shimmer-Sheer Milky white with tons of copper shimmer
Super Matte top coat

I decided to get a little creative.
I did 2 coats of Inkwell
sponged Silver chrome at the free edge
1 coat of Effects Copper shimmer
1 coat of Effects Scarlet shimmer (I already had this)

I love how it gave it a purple tone


Here you can see the copper shimmer




Inkwell applied like a dream, opaque in two very thin coats and the CND brush is my new girlfriend!
Their brush is The bees knees, not too wide but wider than your standard brush, flat and just the right shape to give an excellent and easy application.
Silver Chrome is opaque in one coat, not streaky like most metallics and super sparkly.
The effects shimmers are fabulous, they do not dull or cover the color beneath but add amazing shimmer and that lit within look.
Super Matte top coat is not like your traditional matte top coat. It does not give the flat matte feel like most but it does add an interesting matte like apearance. I have to play with it more.

Now I want the rest of the effects and more CND colors! Did I mention that their brush is perfection?

Play date

Today was awesome!
I met Ange-Marie of Scandalously Polished for a short Nail polish play date!
Yay a beauty addict that lives near me! *swoon* (P.S. She is smokin' hot too, it's not fair at all!)
I won The gorgeous Diamond Cosmetics Cherry Tobacco in her giveaway and she delivered it in person!
So it was a double win! She also brought me OPI Sapphire in the snow.
We had coffee and I'm sure the people at my local coffee shop think we are crazy as loons after spending over an hour chatting non stop about nail polish!
I had so much fun, Ange-Marie is as sweet and adorable as her blog!
Yes we will be scheduling more Play Dates soon!

My nails for the moment are OPI Merry Midnight with CND effects in Scarlet shimmer.

I was hoping for more flakies but it's a bit sparse and they kind of get lost in the glitter.


I'm not sure if I love this or not?!


I do adore CND effects Scarlet Shimmer!


It's actually a nice bright pink shimmer.


What? Well where do you keep your nail polish when you're taking pictures?
This is my Photo shoot mini storage.
