RockStar Nails For PAA on FaceBook

Awhile ago I joined a group on FaceBook called Polish-aholics Anonymous, a place where people gather to talk about nail polish, share ideas, show each other what their doing with their nails, ect...
This is on of the groups that made me to decide to start my blog :)

Anyway, every week they give us a theme of what to do for our nails on Monday.
This week's theme was rock star inspired nails.
Since I'm not a fan of rock, I don't have the slightest idea of what to do, so I took this challenge a bit more literally...

This is the first "Rock Star" to come to my mind...

Any one who pays attention to my blog will now realize that half of the pictures I take look like this :


You see, I have a slight addiction to Rock Star energy drinks...
By slight addiction I mean I drink one everyday as soon as I wake up....

So this seemed very appropriate for me :)

Let's begin !

I started with 1 coat of Orly Royal Navy (Should have used 2)
& 1 coat of Nicole by OPI You're S-Teal The One
Then drew diagonal stripes with Orly Sweet Peacock 
The same thing going the other way
Then I used Revlon's Punk to draw a big star
Then outlined it with Orly Lunar Eclipse
Draw the little r symbols in, and you're done !!!
Ta-da !!!!!



So yeah, this is my interpretation of Rock Star nails :p
Hope you enjoyed !!!!

OPI : Pink and Gold Shatter : And Shiny Stuffs


OPI
Gold Shatter
I Lily Love You
Pink Shatter
Guy Meets Gal-veston

Found all these at my local Acme grocery store today :)

Let's see some swatches, yes ????

Gold Shatter
Over Revlon Emerald City Matte Suede



I really love this gold <3 
& over the green it looks like Christmas lol

I Lily Love You

I'm sure we've all seen this every where, but I'm really impressed by it. 
This is two coats over a fake white nail, it will not show up like this on you, the base is transparent :)

Guy Meets Gal-veston
Gorgeous squishy pink with a little coral to it.
Again this is two coats over a white nail, it isn't a cream. I think they called these sorbets or something close to that. It's gonna look soooo pretty and shiny !!!

&
Last but not least !!!!
My favorite of these...
Pink Shatter !!!
Which is for the 2011 Breast Cancer Awareness
Here it's swatched over Revlon Punk
& a top coat

It really shattered perfectly <3
It's amazing, and proceeds go to finding a cure :)
What's better than that ????

Thumbs up for finding a cure !!!

Haunted Dusk :Fail:

Last night I wanted to paint what I saw in my head onto my nails
However...
Yeah right...LOL
I was trying to make a scene out of an eerie movie, when the sky looks a bit dingy and green through the woods..



It started out alright, some sponging, a moon, some stars...

Then I wanted more in the back ground...
 So I stamped...
 Drew some trees....

 Tried to add dimension...



Then I waited over night for it to dry, and matted it out this morning....



FAIL
How did it smudge after 8+ hours of drying ????

:(

I tried being creative, from now on I'll leave it to the ladies with skills ;)

Thumbs up for trying !!!!

Revlon Edgy Elegance : Fierce and Punk : Pic Heavy

And Spiders....
;)
Today I'm going to show you what I consider a fail.
It's not horrible, I'm just not in love.
This is what I ended with last night


It all started like this...
I wanted to do my nails, but had no idea what to do with them..
So I decided to use the new Revlon Fierce from The Edgy Elegance.



It's a super gorgeous color, but I didn't like it on me.
So this started happening...

I sponged Punk on top







At first I was like "Cool  !" About 2 minutes later it was back to not liking it...
So that's where the spiders come in...
How could I not like something that has spiders ???



 You can see Sweet Peacock shining from my toes :)






And that's how this story goes :)

Thumbs up for getting to go to a Halloween store today ! :D

Today I have some swatches for you to see :)

Some pretty Revlon colors, two from the new collection
Edgy Elegance

One a matte suede polish I just fell for <3



Revlon Edgy Elegance
Fierce


A gorgeous foiled fuchsia metallic.
If nail polish could fall in love, this would be Sweet Peacock's girlfriend ;)
1 coat

Revlon Edgy Elegance
Punk

A very silvery green foil polish. 
If you have trouble wearing green, this might work better for you :)
1 coat

Revlon Matte Suede
Emerald City

The first picture is while it was still wet and shiny.
The second shows how it dries to a suede finish.
A gorgeousss shimmering forest/emerald green.

I have some ideas for these colors, and hopefully will get around to that tonight :)

Thumbs up for being grateful you have thumbs !!!
