The Start of Something Fantastic!

I want to transform my nail blog into a blog, that not only includes nail polish and nail art, but I'd like to incorporate more beauty and fashion things that I like also. I hope this doesn't bore anyone.

But like Forever21, who has something called "Fabulous Finds," I decided to create somthing similar to that but I call it "Fantastic Finds," where I will post about things I find that are at a great price or something fantastic that I'd like to share with everyone.

which I found via Google 

My first fantastic find includes 3 things. The first is a bottle of hot pink nail art. They mostly sell for $1.50 or more but I was able to find this Mattese Elite for $1! They sell these at Ricky's and their regular price for both nail art and nail polish is $5.99! That's outrageous for nail art to be $5.99!! Sadly, it was the only color available on sale.
My second and third fantastic find is 2 loose eyeshadows from Forever21 which I got for $0.99 each!! They retail $2.80 normally but I dug and found the white one. The one on the left is called Emerald City and the one on the right is called White Sparkle. I think I might use it sometimes to franken too :)

Hope you enjoyed my first post of Fantastic Finds and please let me know your opinion on this topic. :)
& of course, happy polishing!

That's Berry Dazzling!

November 21, 2010.

Here's my second franken named That's Berry Dazzling! It's a berry pink creme with glitters :) The swatch is 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat. I think that the formula is a little thick so I'll have to add like 1-3 drops of nail polish thinner. But I really like it !! :D

Here's what I used to make That's Berry Dazzling!

• Wet N Wild - Dream Poppy
• Wet N Wild - Hallucinate
• Wet N Wild - White
• Medusa's Makeup Glitter Eyeshadow in AK47

hope you enjoyed & more frankens coming~

Glitter Blues

November 20, 2010

I got my monthly magazine today and I saw this promotion. I thought I'd share this with everyone.

To get your free Orly, you can either bring the December/January issue of Seventeen magazine or you can print out the coupon and bring it to a participating ULTA store. You may receive one bottle of Orly Nail Lacquer of your choice of Shine, Oh Cabana Boy or It's Up To Blue. Only 1 per person. This deal is valid starting from November 23, 2010 until supplies last.

And on another nail note, I created my first franken in a while! :) I named it Glitter Blues because of the color as well as its significance in that I haven't made one in a while. :P It's a medium cornflower blue jelly with turquoise and gold glitters. For the swatch, I used 3 coats and 1 coat of top coat. The formula was a bit opaque, so the third coat gave good coverage and the bottle color. :) I really like this!! ♥

Here's a list of what I used to create Glitter Blues

• Wet N Wild - Hallucinate
• Wet N Wild - Clear
• Wet N Wild - White
• China Glaze - Bermuda Breakaway
• China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise
• Medusa's Makeup glitter eyeshadow in Liberace

hope you enjoyed,

P.S. - more frankens coming~ :P
