I'm Back!

Hey everyone, I told you I would post if I felt like it and I mean even though I don't exactly feel like it I have to for class! At least until May this blog will be back up and running with around two posts a week..not as much as I used to post but I just don't have that kind of time anymore!

Anyhow, lets get started! Today I have for you my Super Bowl 46 nail design! I'm not sure if any of you know but I LOVE THE GIANTS. Love love love. (Cruz is my all time favorite)  So, I decided to rep big blue this past weekend and try some new things out.

For this manicure I used H&M- Spending Cash With Carl for the base of my manicure and then I topped it off with a red stripe using Migi Nail Art, Art Decorating Nail Polish Pens and then a white stripe on the tips of my nails using Color Club's Decorating Polishes in white obviously.

On my ring finger of my left hand I decided to go a little crazy and paint a NY GIANTS logo. I can't say it came out great but for my first time doing any types of lettering I think it was alright. ( I think it would have came out better if I had a white art pen to use but I don't so I used the skinny brush Color Club Decorating Polish in white again). Here are the pictures...I hope you like them!

GO GIANTS!

Color Club-Catwalk Queen

How amazing is this color? CC- Catwalk Queen is a vampy dark purple with TONS of sparkle as you can see in the up close bottle picture I posted. This is definitely my favorite Color Club that I own and this is for two reasons..1 obviously because of the gorgeous color and 2 because of the formula/application. This polish was opaque in 2 moderately thick coats and clean up was very easy. 

I bought this polish at Bed Bath & Beyond for $3.50 and that day I also bought Color Club- Wild and Willing which is an orange-ish sparkly color and I can't wait to show you guys!

Color Club- Sheer Disguise & OPI Shatter

I went kind of crazy the other day and bought a bunch of polishes :/ Hahha

-OPI Black Shatter, American Eagle (no name), China Glaze- Frostbite, Love & Beauty- Grey, Essie-Swing Velvet, Color Club-Sheer Disguise and Love & Beauty-Olive

The polish I'm showing today is part of the Color Club Alter Ego Collection: Reveal Your Mystery which was released this spring.  This is Sheer Disguise, a pastel cream blue which is laced with tons of grey undertones.  I used three coats for this manicure because the formula was a bit watery, but built fine with a few coats. 

I love this color, out of the whole spring collection it may be my favorite but I'm really looking forward to also buying Revealed and Incognito (Check out a full review of this collection by Also Known As...)

So I finally cracked (no pun intended) and bought the OPI Black Shatter.  Here I just put it over my existing manicure and I have to say it was pretty scary when I put it on haha. You paint the black over your freshly painted nails and hope you don't ruin all your hard work lol. Anyways for my first time using the shatter I think I did a pretty good job, I heard it usually takes some practice to figure out how to do it but I think it paid off that I waited to buy it so I could see others reviews on it and hear their tips. 

One thing I didn't really like was the fact that the polish gets SUPER SUPER gloopy after a use or two..I really need to invest in some polish thinner :/
