Sally Hansen 'Laser'

This is one coat of 'Laser' over Essie's 'No More Film' ( a beauteous navy creme). Seriously, I'm not kidding this picture is HIDEOUS in comparison to the real polish. It has this really pretty shift from blue to purple and in the sun it's RIDICULOUS! Do you guys have any HD colors?

Hunger Games Mani

Hey guys, I know a lot of you have been wondering why I haven't made any posts, part of that reason is that I got really lazy as far as blogging is concerned and also my computer has just been nuts lately.  Now while I haven't posted on this blog I have been putting some of my swatches up on Pinterest and on Instagram (larsoncarter).  Onto the mani!!!!

This is my first attempt at nail art and I think for a newbie its pretty good (and it only took 1 1/2 hours!).  I did this before seeing the Hunger Games with some of my friends (GREEAT GREEEEEEEEEEAT MOVIE! BUT YOU *MUST* READ THE BOOKS FIRST.  THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!).  It's a base of China Glaze 'Smoke and Ashes' (one of the most beautiful colors my eyeballs have had the gift of seeing) with layers of acrylic paint.  What do you guys think?  Did you see the movie? Read the books?  Did you have a special manicure for it?  Comment below!

Sinful Colors 'Love Nails'

 

(from L-R: White, Black, Sinful Colors 'Why Not', and bare nail)

This is one coat of 'Love Nails' over 3 different polishes and bare nail.  The reason I did this swatch like this was because this is a sheer polish meant for layering, and I wanted to show 4 different looks side-by-side.  'Love Nails' is a sheer blue shimmer that I'm pretty sure could never reach full opacity.  Personally, I like it best over black, but it also looks really beuatious over any blue.


What do you think??

Magnetic Polish At dELiA*s by Color Club?

Hey, just a quick post from my phone. So I'm at Delia's and I saw they had magnetic polish and on the bottle it said it was a polish by Color Club. I hasn't heard of Color Club partnering with Delia's so I was wondering what this is about. What do you think about these polishes???

OPI 'Ogre the Top Blue'

This is from OPI's Shrek Collection.  I really LOVE that colleciton because it's all cremes but non of them were boring (see great swatches here).  This is a great medium blue creme, and I think every nail polish hoarder should have it.  At first I thought that it would be a dupe for Sally Hansen 'Blue Streak' but that's a lot more light and teal.  This is 2 easy coats great OPI formula.  Only problem is that when you take it off it may make your fingers blue!


What do you think?


Also there are these HYSTERICAL YouTube videos me and my friend Erica are obsessed with see below:

(watch all 4 episodes!!)

China Glaze 'Dorothy Who?'

Silver glitter in a sheer medium blue base.  4 coats.  First shown here.  All I need to say it's that beutious.

OPI 'Save Me'

HEY I'M BACK! THE BEST IS YET TO COME! Sorry had to say that.  I haven't blogged for a while because this weekend was my birthday and I've been feeling like CRAP!  Plus for my birthday I got an iPhone, so I don't really have any need for the internet on an actual computer.  But now, I promise, at least 2 posts a week.

So this is 'Save Me' from the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection.  And while I'm a HUGE Nicki Minaj fan the collection did disappoint me (really? 3 cremes? really?  And a crackle?  Didn't that end back in August??) I was really exited for this color.  'Save Me' is micro silver glitter with some holo bar glitter in a clear base.  Now this isn't extremely dense, which is good if you like layering glitter, but bad if you wanted to wear it solo.  So what you see above is 6 coats, so I would suggest layering 2 coats on top of silver.  But the holo bar glitter IS AMAZING! because when you move your fingers all of the pieces light up all different colors and it's like a disco ball.  

Did you guys like the Nicki Minaj collection?  Did you get any of them??
