Guest Blog - Pedicure with Tricia using Color Club's Factory Girl


I just finished up my blue pedi, so I decided to share it. I dont normally wear blue since it does not go to well with my tan skin tone, however I still did it blue so it would compliment my blue foot jewelry I would be wearing over the weekend. I tried three different colors before settling for the one I chose.  First I tried Color club's Total Mystery (Alter Ego Collection) It is the exact color of the beads on my barefoot sandal, but the formula was a bit problematic, it seems to be very thin and I got a lot of streaks, even after the third coat, four coats might have worked, but I did not bother with it since it was not looking right.
Second color I tried was (Justin Bieber collection) Prize Possession Purple, that is a beautiful purple, but did not go well with the color of my jewelry.
The third color was (Justin Bieber collection) Me + Blue, which is a nice medium blue loaded with glitter, but did not go well with my skin tone.
So I settled for Color Club's Factory Girl.

Things I used: 

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
Color Club Factory Girl
Art club Silver Striper
8 (1.5mm) rhinestones
8 (2.3mm) rhinestones
Art Club's Sealer


1) Apply base coat.
2) Paint nails in Factory Girl.


3) Using the striper, add 3 diagonal lines on each of the big toes.



4) Then add 3 more diagonal lines to cross the first 3 lines.
5) On each of the remaining 8 nails, add one 1.5mm rhinestones to the half moon area of the nail.




6) Add 4 larger rhinestones in the area between the silver lines on each big toe. 


7) Finish up with sealer.




*Tip: for maximum rhinestone adhesion, a tiny drop of glue can be used. By using glue, however, removal will be a bit tougher, an acetone soak may be needed but do remember to saturate surrounding skin with cuticle oil prior to acetone use.



Color Club/Art Club polishes can be bought at transdesign.com. 
China Glaze Base Coat is commonly found at any Sally Beauty Supply.
Rhinestones can be bought at alcosmetics.com.

    Impressive! I can't stand to paint my toes. I prefer to go to the salon for that.

Dior Psychedelic Orange Review - Dior Day Blogger Linkup

Image
Hi Everyone! I am back to blogging finally!  Thanks for all your patience through a very rough time in my life.  Back in July 2013, I flew to Las Vegas for Cosmoprof North America.  One of my favorite things to do after the show was to go shopping at The Forums Shops At Caesars .  One of the first shops I went into was Dior, I was hooked immediately.  I did not have any Dior Beauty products so I purchased my first polish, Psychedelic Orange and a lip pencil to match.  Since then, my Dior collection has increased by 2 or 3 more polishes and a Gel Top Coat which I love! I chose today to finally show you this polish because a group of bloggers are linking together for Dior Day Blogger Linkup.  Psychedelic Orange is almost a jellish cream polish.  I used 3 coats above and you can still see a little VNL, but this doesn't bother me one bit.  Even though it didn't need it I did top it with one coat of the Dior Gel Coat, which is my favorite top coat...

Nfu-Oh Aqua Base...Worth it? Necessary?

Image
Tonight I was doing swatches of some holographic polishes that I haven't tried yet. Nfu-Oh's, Essences from Europe and BK's from Hong Kong. And the question that keeps coming up, is the Nfu-Oh Aqua Base really necessary? Isn't there a cheaper easier to access brand available? I've seen this asked more than anything else recently and it even came up in our Nail Polish and Gossip Group on Facebook. I'm going to let you answer this question for yourself, here are pictures I took, all using Nfu-Oh #66 Green Holographic polish. On the first picture, on my thumb, middle and pinky finger, I used the Nfu-Oh Aqua base coat, on the ring and pointer finger I used another well known brand of base coat. This is one coat of polish and I didn't clean up since I was taking it right back off. You can click the pictures to enlarge. I only used one coat, I didn't want to waste any more of this beautiful polish, but you can tell it does not play well with...
