The Zebras Were Framed!

It was the one armed man! Hey there Bloggerettes! We Jacksonvillians are currently dealing with Tropical Storm Beryl and are not too happy! Dreary days and power outages, happy summer, right!? Anywho to brighten the day here's one of my most favorite manis to date! It was inspired by one of my favorite people, Betsey Johnson, and a pair of her fabulous earrings.

I started with a base of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu, 2 coats, on my index, ring, and pinkies. Followed by 1 coat of Glitter Gal Light as a Feather to give it a kick of holo. On my thumb and middle fingers I did a generous coat of Gelous then 3 coats of Milani Gold Jewel FX another coat of Gelous and finally a coat of Seche Vite. My glitta was smooth, lol! Next up I used my handy dandy Konad M57 plate, using the zebra design and Konad Black polish. For the rim I used LA Colors Art Deco in Intense Pink finishing up with a coat of Seche Vite. Phew, that was a lot of work!

2 coats of Tutu, 1 LaaF, and 3 Gold FX.

Stupid pinkie smudges! Somehow some little pink glitter got on my index finger too. I guess my mani just has some added character! I got so many compliments on this look it was crazy. I actually went to Sephora and wore a look using my new Sigma Paris palette and these nails and customers were asking me for help, etc instead of the employees. It definitely boosted my pride, which is always nice! What do you think? Here's a bonus "bleh rain, I'm so bored" picture, lol.

Rad Dancing!

Happy Tuesday Bloggerettes! Today I have Dollish Polish Random Dancing on top of Milani's Rad Purple for you. Random Dancing is a beautiful mix of fine and medium hex purple glitter, medium hex silver and orange glitter, and large square glitter in red, green, and teal. Wow, that was a mouth full! The application is pretty chunky and it is easier to tap the polish on rather than brush it on. After a nice thick coat of Gelous the polish was still bumpy but regardless it was pretty. Milani Rad Purple is a neon jelly and to get full coverage I needed 5 coats! Aye Chihuahua, lol! Needless to say I had a nice thick barrier of polish on my nails after this mani.

The completed mani.

 5 coats of Milani Rad Purple.

This combination had my nails glowing! I had to do the foil method to remove this look but it was well worth it. Dollish Polish is currently of hiatus but her mini bottles retail for $4.00. Just click the notify by email button so you can be first up for her polishes!

Milani Jewel FX

As I stated a few posts back my Walgreens recently received the new Milani Jewel FX polishes. I couldn't wait any longer, they were calling to me, so I bought all of them! Red is made up of large red hexagon glitter. Teal has large teal, green, and holo glitter with small teal circle glitter. Lavender has large lavender hexagon glitter and small circle lavender glitter. Fuchsia is another large fuschia(the exact color of Barney lol) hexagon glitter and small fuchsia circle glitter. And finally Hot Pink is large hot pink and holo hexagon glitter. You'll notice Milani thought long and hard about their polish names, lol! The formula was perfect with Hot Pink being a bit too thick. All were swatched over Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.

Revlon Lip Butters

I was both excited and hesitant when I heard about Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters. Hesitant because this is something that's been done before with meh results and excited because maybe this would be better than past products. Revlon's Lip Butters are a balm with a tinted base, both moisturizing and full of color. After testing out Peach Parfait and Lollipop I can say I am very impressed and happy with the results! As a side note I originally bought Cupcake but the color was so gross, it looked like dried lip skin, that I had to return it!

 Peach Parfait, a warm orange base with gold shimmer. Lollipop, a magenta.

Peach Parfait and Lollipop

I found the packaging to be pretty cute as well. The cover is see through, the color matching the lip butter, with a criss cross quilt design. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters retail for $7.99 at Walgreens and I believe Revlon will be on sale buy 1 get 1 50% off this week.

As another side note I work at Walgreens and today was truck day. After rummaging through the cosmetic totes I saw some of the new Milani nail polishes and took a few pictures!

Aren't they pretty?! Enjoy Bloggerettes!
