DV8 aka Uber Lemming Fulfilled!

 Hey there Bloggerettes! Todays post features my all time major lemming China Glaze DV8. She is a gorgeous teal linear holo. However it's not a bam in your face holo like OPI DS Original or Gosh Holographic. When I received it Florida was going through some major storming so I have no sunny pictures but I had to wear it! I know you all understand that feeling, lol!

 No topcoat!

 I don't know why this picture came out so blue but it's gorgeous! With Topcoat.

I did 1 coat of CND Stickey, 3 coats of DV8, followed by a coat of Seche Vite. Topcoat did not effect the holo of this polish. I really loved this color and the length of my nails but unfortunetly my nails broke pretty bad during the dreaded truck day at work. C'est la vie! RIP awesome nails, hello nubbins.

Zuza-San

Good morning Bloggerettes! It's that time again for our group mani! This time the theme was Gradient Friday! I stopped by Ulta today and finally picked up Zoya Zuza which I have been lemming since the first swatches came out. I knew that I wanted to use Zuza right away so I sat here for a hot minute thinking of a good gradient combo to combine with her. Sinful Color Mama-San was practically aching for some usage so I chose her and Nyx Gilded Glitter. 

2 coats of Mama-San, a rose colored foil.

Zuza over Mama-San. I used a folded up piece of paper towel for my gradient.

To finish this look off I added a coat of Gilded Glitter. The last addition really warmed up this look. I find this mani to appear almost romantic, if that makes sense. It's so pretty, I just can't stop staring! 

Zombri and I want you to check out the other ladies gorgeous gradients!

Edited to add my sunny Florida day pictures. See how my gradient glows! And check out my Color Club Electro Candy pedi!

Funhouse Danse

Hey there Bloggerettes! Today I have a very delicate and cute mani for you. It's also my first jelly sandwich. This is 2 coats of OPI Care to Danse(a sheer lavender jelly), 1 coat Dandy Nails Funhouse(a shredded teal, purple glitter with micro silver glitter), and 1 more coat of Care to Danse. 

Funhouse is such an awesome glitter. The only issue I had was a few shreds were sticking up through my top coat. I just used my little scissors and trimmed them up. Dandy Nails Funhouse retails for $8 for .5oz of polish. She's currently on hiatus but she should be back in stock soon!

Cyance Friction

 Hello hello Bloggerettes! It's Friday the 13th but my whole week has been a bundle of stress and bad luck, lol. So to relax I am happy to present Nerd Lacquer Cyance Friction. She's a beautiful neon teal with pink glass flecks, small, and large copper hexagon glitter. The application was smooth and the glitter was easy to work with. No Gelous needed, just a thick coat of Seche Vite!

To change it up I thought I'd try a close up, damn flash ruined it though. I'm really kicking myself for not ordering more Nerd Lacquers when she last opened her shop. She's currently closed but you can get notified via email when she's back. Nerd Lacquers are currently $10 for 15ml of polish.

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.

I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly!

I was fortunate enough to pick up the OPI Nicki Minaj collection a couple weeks back. I think this is the first full collection of anything that I knew I NEEDED to have! It's made up of three cremes Pink Friday a baby pink, Fly a dark dusty teal, and Did It On 'Em a chartreuse yellow/green. Also 2 glitters Metallic 4 Life a black jelly with silver big hex glitter and small square glitter, and Save Me a blue and holographic bar glitter with small silver glitter in a clear base. And to wrap it up Super Bass, a bright magenta shatter. Save Me is the whole reason this collection stood out for me. It truly is lovely. I couldn't wait to use them but didn't want to do skittles. So I decided to do a water marble with the three cremes, a layer of Save Me, then a layer of Super Bass, and to finish it off an accent finger in Metallic 4 Life.

 Pink Friday, Fly, Did It On 'Em

Save Me, Metallic 4 Life, Super Bass

It was so hard trying to get a good picture of this mani. I was so proud of it! I really enjoyed this collection and Nicki Minaj is my guilty pleasure. I purchased my set online via a Facebook friend so I'm not sure if this collection is currently at Ulta. But I suggest getting it asap bloggerettes!

My sleepy babies Cletus and Zombri!

Murmaider

I was recently inspired by this post from the lovely Amy from I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous. It reminded me of a pretty rocking mermaids tail. I had 2 out of 3 polishes and a dupe of $OPI Teal We Meet Again so I thought I'd give it a go.

Ulta Dance Teal Dawn 2 coats

China Glaze Broken Hearted

Barielle Buddah-ful 1 thin coat

I can't express how much I loved this look! It makes me want to try other layering looks with my abundance of crackles that get neglected. Anywho, I'm slowly catching up on posting but there's still a lot of old looks I'm looking forward to showing off. I can't wait for you to see!
