NYC Color Prince Street + PURE ICE Busted

Purple purple. I'm starting to develop a love relationship with the purple super purple color. I'm very into light purple, lilac, lavender though. Here I have NYC Color Prince Street, a good 2 coat violet purple with a bit of shimmer to it.

Then I tried some PURE ICE Busted as a top coat for it. It's a purpleish somewhat holo sheer polish. I could not capture that really well in pictures but I can tell you it is a must have. Really really pretty!!!

What do you think? Purple itself or with the top coat on it?

Pink Wednesdays Bangle Jangle + Sally Hansen Chrome Pen Fuschia

Yay, I made to Pink Wednesday today!!! I kinda didn't know if I was feeling like wearing pink today but I came up with this.

 So, a question do you guys like the first or second picture angle? I happened to tilt my camera and when I was uploading to the computer I really like that angle. Which one do you prefer? My straight vertical angle or the new tilted one?

 So, here is the Sally Hansen Chrome Pen Fuschia I used for the stamping. I don't recommend them to paint the nails but they are a must have if you are into nail stamping. You can find them at Walmart, Target, Walgreens and CVS as far as I am concerned. And they retail for $9.99. Totally worth it!

 And here is my base color. Essie Bangle Jangle is a cream amethyst lavender type of color. Simply beautiful! That polish if from Essie Winter 2011 Cocktail Collection. Application was great and the formula is just as good. And above and below pictures from the 2 angles. What's your favorite?

Doing my friend's nails

My best friend from Arizona came to visit me the beginning of this month and we had a blast together. I was looking for this picture to share with you guys. Couldn't find anywhere but here it is. I did her nails! She loved it. It was so funny cause she said it was hard to choose a color cause I have so many polishes lololo than her son picked this color and said "Here, you paint my mommy's nails with this color". And OMG it couldn't be a better color to do a Halloween themed manicure. Too bad we were having so much fun that I forgot to take a picture of the purple itself. But, I'll do here some day. But enjoy the picture!! I just love it very much I wanna do the same mani on myself. And I jsut feel so proud of myself I did someone's nails. I'm still getting used to it. lololo And if you are wondering how I did this mani ... I did some sponging with two different shades of purple and then stamped over it.

Sinful Colors - a pretty color ♥

Today I have a lovely color from Sinful Colors - Beverly Hills. It's a cream pale lilac-purple, very shinny and very pigmented. I was very pleased to use this color. Usually I am not a fan of all the polish from Sinful Colors. Some of them are too liquidy and the formula is streaky or you need to use 3 to 4 coats to achieve the color on the bottle. On this one, I was quite impressed as I only applied 2 coats. It worked great! Teh formula of this polish is like butter. Really good!! I got this polish for $0.99 at a sale at Walgreens awhile back. Keep your eyes open as they always have a sale here and there. I am thinking about paying full price though to get me a back up bottle.

Also, remember I have a giveaway going on. CLICK --> HERE to see details.
Hope you guys have a great weekend my friends ♥

PURE ICE Purple Reign

Friday Friday I love you!

No plans for the weekend but it's always good to have them. Last night I had a great time with my friend Laine at the baseball game. Ok, yeah I don't know nothing about it but the chat was great!! Thrusday night and I kinda felt the weekend coming.

But anyways, baseball aside and polish talk.

I love when I find great nail polishes for as just as a great price. Besides that, I think I am not ready at all for fall/winter yet.

I've seen all fall/winter colors popping out little by little but in full force already. I am still trying to use my bright beautiful spring/summery shades. Then I was at Walmart and stumbled upon this one. I didn't even go to the nail polish section, ok? This bottle was just left by the utensils. I checked the brush, the bottle to see if there was something wrong with it. I told my husband " See, even if I don't go to the polishes they come to me baby" lololo Seriously! Then I got that bottle after all. It's PURE ICE Purple Reign. Teh name is very suitable by the way.

It's such a gorgeous purple with gold shimmer to it. It's very pretty. The pictures here don't do justice to the real color in person. I tried to get different angles and stuff but I couldn't get it to show how beautiful that polish is. But you can kinda see the close up I did in the bottle... I guess. I know you will be able to see the gold shimmery stuff I am talking about.

This color looks more expensive than it really looks. For just $1.99 I had to bring that poor lonely bottle home, right?

I really don't know if that is a new color for this fall from PURE ICE. I just haven't seen this color before on their shelves. Have you?

To finalize I wanted to konad stamp but not the whole nail cause I didn't want to cover this pretty purple. I then decided to just do an accent on my thumb and middle finger.

What are your opnions? Are you guys ready for fall/winter?

And for all of you, HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.  I am really looking forward to it!
