Halloween Manicure with Island Girl Color Changing Polish and Stickers

Tonight I am bringing you my first Halloween manicure.  Another blogger sent me a box full of Island Girl polishes while she was vacationing in Hawaii.  I will bring you more manicures as I get to try them, I really have enjoyed the ones I've used so far.  I had been waiting months to try out a set of stickers I bought off ebay, they were girly skulls, crossbones and crowns.  After I tried this Med Pink to Dk Pink Color Changing polish I knew it was the perfect polish for my stickers.

Base Coat, 2 coats of Polish and a coat of Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat.

The polish actually went on smooth and was totally opaque in 2 coats.  Please
forgive my messiness, I'm a little out of practice and need a new brush for cleanup.

So here are the stickers I have been waiting to use, too cute huh?  Sorry
for the flipped pictures but I wanted you too see how they looked.

I had used a coat of Seche Vite over the stickers too.


Now to show you the color change, the first picture is when I had dipped my 
hand in cool water(darker), the 2nd one below I had used warm water(lighter).  You can 
see a difference throughout the day without doing that and sometimes your nails can be different 
colors or two colors on one nail at times.


What do you think of this Halloween Manicure, not the usual colors right?  Have you used any Island Girl Polishes?  You can only get them in Hawaii or Las Vegas at the ABC Stores or they do have some available on their online store.  Stay turned to see what Halloween mani I do next.  I'm really not good at nail art, but I'm working on it.  All of Tricia's guests posts with instructions are giving me lots of ideas.  Anything you want to see me do?  Just leave a comment below!

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...
