China Glaze® introduces a new way to get multi-color, unique nail<br /><br />art with fewer bottles of polish with the new color-changing Tranzitions collection!<br /><br />China Glaze® Tranzitions’ revolutionary new nail lacquer reacts when a clear top coat is applied,<br /><br />changing the color from one shade to another for a stunning effect. Wear any of the six beautiful,<br />color-shifting shades alone, or allow your creativity to run wild and create intricate nail designs by<br />applying a top coat in specific places. Try different looks using nail art brushes, free-hand designs<br />or nail guides. Because each shade changes color, you get two lacquers in one, creating an<br />entirely new look with just one swipe.<br /><br />The China Glaze® Tranzitions collection features six shades, though with the color transition, you<br /><br />get 12 unique shades including:<br /><br />Split Perso-NAIL-ity – Dusty pink shifts to fuchsia</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZvxMBwX46wBvGAsrsHsRme4IiWdVCP5GQb_ZDvISTGFevZS-xIJvUdnWz6amcbBV85rQ2FK7HMCed6tPCFqybxVou1bBtJGhMxkiIrgdecV9xz_SUCO3ktOM42ZoYph2sAWeV7j43kik/s1600/cg6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZvxMBwX46wBvGAsrsHsRme4IiWdVCP5GQb_ZDvISTGFevZS-xIJvUdnWz6amcbBV85rQ2FK7HMCed6tPCFqybxVou1bBtJGhMxkiIrgdecV9xz_SUCO3ktOM42ZoYph2sAWeV7j43kik/s320/cg6.jpg" width="140" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Duplicityy – Mint green shifts to vibrant teal</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFfYamUWkdlLLvRKVHThGqHSspWalP3CPPIcYnNoPL1vYEktUOfZPzQPG1As2BUn9m5TtU1UqZpVk4xr0uqXKBnCBquBEsXwG6btfffEyp_tATeTRYc1aghN_TfIEHse0NtEUJm2R38g/s1600/cg2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFfYamUWkdlLLvRKVHThGqHSspWalP3CPPIcYnNoPL1vYEktUOfZPzQPG1As2BUn9m5TtU1UqZpVk4xr0uqXKBnCBquBEsXwG6btfffEyp_tATeTRYc1aghN_TfIEHse0NtEUJm2R38g/s320/cg2.jpg" width="140" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Modify Me – Periwinkle blue shifts to indigo blue</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYA9HewG752LND3RNPEdhS3gU8ixBb4U0bUtYwnU1wTpzoniR5OKxlaj2yMh6t8WUJMH_QNWceCR8XI5P8pkZG8zujY8il3wGvOhdcnaQoTEp5rU0nSXd8G0L_4QV3NhGRF9k1a7N4gHQ/s1600/cg4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYA9HewG752LND3RNPEdhS3gU8ixBb4U0bUtYwnU1wTpzoniR5OKxlaj2yMh6t8WUJMH_QNWceCR8XI5P8pkZG8zujY8il3wGvOhdcnaQoTEp5rU0nSXd8G0L_4QV3NhGRF9k1a7N4gHQ/s320/cg4.jpg" width="140" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Altered Reality – Teal blue shifts to turquoise</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_NoloL03NeSD6yiCP0HA0KTNumU3iUsY827q_DE3qoqo-Jl2ylC-ZRDH4xQPfUrs6h_GUsIucTDehxOJCOxId2v-4O-rN0V8Jf-zclkW0irTOFbHwX1Hphg2P1tHX_uREyXVvUWIjjg/s1600/cg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_NoloL03NeSD6yiCP0HA0KTNumU3iUsY827q_DE3qoqo-Jl2ylC-ZRDH4xQPfUrs6h_GUsIucTDehxOJCOxId2v-4O-rN0V8Jf-zclkW0irTOFbHwX1Hphg2P1tHX_uREyXVvUWIjjg/s320/cg.jpg" width="140" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Metallic Metamorphosis – Silvery grey shifts to bluish-charcoal grey</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cAHCrHUyQ_f7G7T6xuFV9acVaqZ7SZ9J9t6KfWR4ai8H2iJFCU8K9D6jclqDNpw_AdZGOc4QpyZO54qMEucBmo_wexY0oZBoGL4-FyXw0Pa1cv7ytS6NRYo4pqepSuKnwjgFMgrbE6E/s1600/cg3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cAHCrHUyQ_f7G7T6xuFV9acVaqZ7SZ9J9t6KfWR4ai8H2iJFCU8K9D6jclqDNpw_AdZGOc4QpyZO54qMEucBmo_wexY0oZBoGL4-FyXw0Pa1cv7ytS6NRYo4pqepSuKnwjgFMgrbE6E/s320/cg3.jpg" width="140" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />Shape Shifter – Smokey violet shifts to dark purple</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL49F9tcFm3evZGgLoSqMDFqQF3Ql3GDMCkSdgypc3GGh71vYP8pOuMR6DPL_QkDIolC3JOm25f773ljQZBaEtTh9IReml-3w5sSMdlMxrDqXwy2XPJtSI8-LNx3CMnpXWuw9zIF77g3c/s1600/cg5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL49F9tcFm3evZGgLoSqMDFqQF3Ql3GDMCkSdgypc3GGh71vYP8pOuMR6DPL_QkDIolC3JOm25f773ljQZBaEtTh9IReml-3w5sSMdlMxrDqXwy2XPJtSI8-LNx3CMnpXWuw9zIF77g3c/s320/cg5.jpg" width="140" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /><br />How It Works:<br />Step 1: Apply a base coat.<br />Step 2: Apply two coats of China Glaze® Tranzitions shade of choice.

The black hexes make this so different....I love it! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXd3XyWZGqEV5JO5xCQhQC5x4bPeg6O3foO7jtmur10uaxSAtVRymRcQORQsAGP6ChVR3Ub1pLFscE6zl7Q6b_iUCK1yF9lJjvqkgKetXDP_1WXFmfd3kGwJI78yH87A8KhOBldIMDA0/s1600/shimmer1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXd3XyWZGqEV5JO5xCQhQC5x4bPeg6O3foO7jtmur10uaxSAtVRymRcQORQsAGP6ChVR3Ub1pLFscE6zl7Q6b_iUCK1yF9lJjvqkgKetXDP_1WXFmfd3kGwJI78yH87A8KhOBldIMDA0/s640/shimmer1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizQhhHoZsMah7bv88ouIwhKFcXYbnXqNQwZtynQvrOQcxDukJLB1ezngZu7gh32cSlmIEkzDAZMD4eUNZUvu3ovuKUCv3G6S_77Sovv5zaV2lwLWoqnQuuRsxSldm4lGx0vrriJqS8aBY/s1600/shimmer2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizQhhHoZsMah7bv88ouIwhKFcXYbnXqNQwZtynQvrOQcxDukJLB1ezngZu7gh32cSlmIEkzDAZMD4eUNZUvu3ovuKUCv3G6S_77Sovv5zaV2lwLWoqnQuuRsxSldm4lGx0vrriJqS8aBY/s640/shimmer2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Then there's <u><b>Alessandra</b></u>, a glitter mix of red and tealish green glitters in a clear base.

Today's theme is "Birthstone Color" and since I was born in July, that makes me a ruby.<br /><br />I chose to use CND's (Creative Nail Design) "Red Hot" polish duo that came out a year or two ago around Valentines Day. Side story: These CND sets are a favorite thing of mine. I collect them, and this was one that I had not picked up when it first came out. I found it in one of my favorite ways ever- at a random beauty supply, at LEAST a year after it was released, sitting on a shelf by itself on CLEARANCE! Woohoo! I'm only missing a few of the CND polish sets, so if you know of any places that carry them, I'd forever be indebted to you ;-)<br /><br />OK, back to my birthstone color manicure. I used the first part of the duo, "Just Red" for this. Now, if you know me, you know that red polish is not my favorite. This one was so shiny and flattering, with a nice jelly-creme texture, that it quickly changed my mind. 2 layers:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT82TYU3lMGXDyhnjbhjBh3ni-uUNyGVyLRfHaOavcCg2FWoYcF4szAjOLZ90STNUM0byckwpkwOZONk7_yuE-EjfrW0X34Qgd-8py5Jgxug8sG-ZbrRAKWttt-OZMziYS5WxX72yp3R0/s1600/cnd1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT82TYU3lMGXDyhnjbhjBh3ni-uUNyGVyLRfHaOavcCg2FWoYcF4szAjOLZ90STNUM0byckwpkwOZONk7_yuE-EjfrW0X34Qgd-8py5Jgxug8sG-ZbrRAKWttt-OZMziYS5WxX72yp3R0/s640/cnd1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9v5H1EUrmKL72TW4QMFr6v1j5rlgN1P8EVoaSl9r76xQULbr17xhCWsvj3zkqnEBTG9Kk8ra6-kd0tEvIv5yuZClFlkYhcM3yHusvgqqlvIsoE0lEThICghbXqrHJSB681s1hjYqCyFA/s1600/cnd2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9v5H1EUrmKL72TW4QMFr6v1j5rlgN1P8EVoaSl9r76xQULbr17xhCWsvj3zkqnEBTG9Kk8ra6-kd0tEvIv5yuZClFlkYhcM3yHusvgqqlvIsoE0lEThICghbXqrHJSB681s1hjYqCyFA/s640/cnd2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Then I added just one layer of "Red Sparkle", a clear based polish with teeny red glitters.

Today I am showing you their "Wander Lust" collection that came out for Fall this year. This collection is comprised of 6 beautiful colors- one of them broke in transit to me (sad face), but here are the others! <br /><br /><b> Epiphany</b> is a cool toned khaki-gold shimmer polish. I don't own a single polish like it! So pretty and unique.

I cannot believe that I have not tried them before. Each formula was excellent and the brushes were great, coming together to make application an absolute breeze. I highly recommend this brand!

I will be featuring them again later on this week, so check back for that review!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME0mWvxG6QYb9y0UdU9nchPl2hFTnYchsnStqsNLBlkZNdD8AfInnuYdczVzjyo6ZaPSSLFPBYsjHnJDDxWp6yEXrE6J90Y9O7NF8Y6nLSB8sZVIgVI0V4SNJ9bTxhbNbJVfL6vj2YNI/s1600/signature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME0mWvxG6QYb9y0UdU9nchPl2hFTnYchsnStqsNLBlkZNdD8AfInnuYdczVzjyo6ZaPSSLFPBYsjHnJDDxWp6yEXrE6J90Y9O7NF8Y6nLSB8sZVIgVI0V4SNJ9bTxhbNbJVfL6vj2YNI/s1600/signature.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">***Disclosure: Products in this post were provided for review***</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031730533363147943.post-4112444592005772992012-12-14T06:56:00.000-08:002012-12-23T22:15:21.182-08:00Whimsical Ideas By Pam - My Friend Carol Nail Polish (Pictures, Swatches, Review)Woohoo!

Selena is such a cutie and quite talented (and a class act to boot!). I think this collection captures her perfectly, and with 14 different polishes, there is certainly something for everyone.<br /><br />First, let's start with <b>"Love Song"</b>, a beautiful, medium purple creme.

This polish is a rainbow glitter similar to the likes of Nicole by OPI "Rainbow In The Sky-lie" or OPI "Rainbow Connection". I believe the main difference is that "Confetti Fun" not only has the multi-colored hex glitters in different sizes, but also a super fine silver glitter mixed in: <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcMfcLtEdqGIBbDRm9kFnSue5C1OzSy5NTKBJaEeS_CqpADEscDQHwjee5JjzCoRus1zDhLO2YkH8PCKxxTTPRpIsg9UPVeZL24dA4IJGlCcj2LqHYJiXF6pyRjzGthDJrGdfkScW3_Y/s1600/selena6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcMfcLtEdqGIBbDRm9kFnSue5C1OzSy5NTKBJaEeS_CqpADEscDQHwjee5JjzCoRus1zDhLO2YkH8PCKxxTTPRpIsg9UPVeZL24dA4IJGlCcj2LqHYJiXF6pyRjzGthDJrGdfkScW3_Y/s640/selena6.jpg" width="606" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Close up- Confetti Fun</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7f3ESdj4sj2nqOiuO3YYENpyoKTvmftl7vmjQ8ekUi8nu5dlgfIeaK4U01aNGPIBXyGK66m3jdTl45PTi-gLSwAqCslQjQfD0WyrJg6OgiXJprXfQhPV8tbMCh2DP0uzq8iuVLF_gqAI/s1600/selena7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7f3ESdj4sj2nqOiuO3YYENpyoKTvmftl7vmjQ8ekUi8nu5dlgfIeaK4U01aNGPIBXyGK66m3jdTl45PTi-gLSwAqCslQjQfD0WyrJg6OgiXJprXfQhPV8tbMCh2DP0uzq8iuVLF_gqAI/s640/selena7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXqgKCgovuMKWebbMTtAHNJs6unYwsjVTpg5vAjjQwM0C5iMT4u612YnmU_cuC-WJlx_hgIaVPkrfRISTLKGB8CI2xwcUetG-1FO5-O0E6nXKi4jGcT5OrWI8uV_wbat0VuW1swqmJaU/s1600/selena8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXqgKCgovuMKWebbMTtAHNJs6unYwsjVTpg5vAjjQwM0C5iMT4u612YnmU_cuC-WJlx_hgIaVPkrfRISTLKGB8CI2xwcUetG-1FO5-O0E6nXKi4jGcT5OrWI8uV_wbat0VuW1swqmJaU/s640/selena8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Next up is <b>"Spring Break"</b>. They describe this as the "perfect hot pink", and I agree 100%. Not only is the color beautiful, but the formula was EXCELLENT- that jelly-creme type finish, and a 'bouncy' application (yes, I use this to describe polish often; while it really makes no sense, I am actually referring to the way that the brush behaves with the polish formula- it just sort 'bounces' right onto your nail without much effort, almost painting itself :) 2 layers:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwlinWzIKHFR3h_VBs5usqy6SyDc39zXJ5PxX0Meqdvk3WvchsWHNBDmRoWuDsWA5O3sYfRx-VZaR4ZlS0uzGY9MYa4UnIVQ61-HOFiMJpQTakhyphenhyphenyymM6ybhvKDClAYqkT8cx-vJ2QdNI/s1600/selena9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwlinWzIKHFR3h_VBs5usqy6SyDc39zXJ5PxX0Meqdvk3WvchsWHNBDmRoWuDsWA5O3sYfRx-VZaR4ZlS0uzGY9MYa4UnIVQ61-HOFiMJpQTakhyphenhyphenyymM6ybhvKDClAYqkT8cx-vJ2QdNI/s640/selena9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Then, I topped "Spring Break" with a slight holographic, silver-bar glitter named, <b>"Stars At Night"</b>. Dudes. I usually have an aversion to bar glitters, but this combination was really cool. Very 'Barbie & The Rockers' (please tell me I am not totally dating myself here).

Sigh. I cannot tell you enough how much I <u>love</u> this. If you know me, you know of my absolute obsession with neutral polish. They call this one, "fresh young peach", and its just so pretty. A peach that leans a little bit to the pink side, it's not quite bright enough to label 'coral'...but it is <i>almost</i> coral. There's a super fine shimmer in this one as well. The formula was a tad bit on the thicker side, but it would still not stop me from picking this as my "chose only one polish to wear for the rest of your life" polish. I think they chose the perfect shade to name after the Starlet. 3 layers:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgP-GukiizO4c2Wig75Cj799UTMU0_udO5ZNv86DIkl0f7nbvcVASD1G57CIn2Omwq5kMGLQVN6bRzIm_iPJF4NHBBa94977nPh-p53XXPFaXAZPRGbpHXUXekySHoiNC144pwN98YEEA/s1600/selena26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgP-GukiizO4c2Wig75Cj799UTMU0_udO5ZNv86DIkl0f7nbvcVASD1G57CIn2Omwq5kMGLQVN6bRzIm_iPJF4NHBBa94977nPh-p53XXPFaXAZPRGbpHXUXekySHoiNC144pwN98YEEA/s640/selena26.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kTdEPn1P_z1IiBLB_jtHQ2zZ937b2KnPPfXaY3245c2UNZXK2O-aphO8m3wFadFuPwUA_KINrd6xWZ5bLeSIF_Ixlbv7FTgBmEEyHrcTKSfI1rT1k6RD7nHZi6axPgMW4U2jJZyBoOE/s1600/selena27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kTdEPn1P_z1IiBLB_jtHQ2zZ937b2KnPPfXaY3245c2UNZXK2O-aphO8m3wFadFuPwUA_KINrd6xWZ5bLeSIF_Ixlbv7FTgBmEEyHrcTKSfI1rT1k6RD7nHZi6axPgMW4U2jJZyBoOE/s640/selena27.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Last but not least, I topped "Selena" with <b>"Heavenly Angel"</b>, an iridescent, glass-shard type glitter.

There's brights, neutrals, shimmers, and let's not forget those glitters. They are awesome (especially "Inner Sparkle"..definitely my fav). The formulas were great, with not a dud in the bunch. This was my first time ever trying OPI's Nicole brand (can you believe it!?), and I was very pleased with my experience.<br /><br />Here's some more details about Nicole by OPI:<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Nicole by OPI</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> Nail Lacquers and Nail Treatments contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde. <b>Nicole by OPI </b>formulas are long-lasting, fast-drying, and salon-quality. <b>Selena Gomez </b>lacquers will be available January 2013 for $7.99 each at retailers including select Target, Walmart, CVS, K-mart, Rite Aid, ULTA, Sears, Meijer, Fred Meyer, Kroger and H-E-B locations.

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "Chanukah Inspired Mani". I have to admit, I was intimidated by this week's challenge. My Chanukah knowledge is admittedly very small, and I was afraid of doing it "wrong". I relied on Google Image search to inspire me.

Today I am wearing these fun desings on my nails from <a href="http://www.omgnailstrips.com/nail-foil-strips/black-white-flower-nail-foil-strips">OMG Nail Strips!</a> These are part of their "Foil" collection of strips, and were very easy to apply.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhot3Spz9USyywkR-n5ieV4xIVqCGVkfzHQrdLe5CBpG7YKrzYxVI9m4iienXVDVfD4u6zu3cnu949BHkuOuNs14vZWWfsCZNHg_XcutRAT35hfpBb5skduKV3_AV4fbE7e61S-mS3W6tI/s1600/foil4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhot3Spz9USyywkR-n5ieV4xIVqCGVkfzHQrdLe5CBpG7YKrzYxVI9m4iienXVDVfD4u6zu3cnu949BHkuOuNs14vZWWfsCZNHg_XcutRAT35hfpBb5skduKV3_AV4fbE7e61S-mS3W6tI/s640/foil4.jpg" width="486" /></a></div> Here's the instructions that I followed on the back of the packaging. I did have to trim a few of the strips with nail clippers to fit my nail beds better- I have tiny nails! It was very easy to trim them to fit. I also used an orangewood stick to press down the strip near my cuticle. I smoothed out as much as I could by pressing and then used a hair dryer to apply a bit of warmth to continue the smoothing (a tip given to me in an email from OMG).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUacwhoKAsVvQ-SHhFEekTjDOhLqPWZfyt5ztD9PUlhBKbrDKXZrLgGxXogjt8BrSUcodNoGEjs2A068MiEz35Zr_GZBpuBl2-_mXZ6zr8tjZP5NMR1dFBy6jZfnrP9B5ZCQnnwviFroA/s1600/foil5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUacwhoKAsVvQ-SHhFEekTjDOhLqPWZfyt5ztD9PUlhBKbrDKXZrLgGxXogjt8BrSUcodNoGEjs2A068MiEz35Zr_GZBpuBl2-_mXZ6zr8tjZP5NMR1dFBy6jZfnrP9B5ZCQnnwviFroA/s640/foil5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOPn7gZQJi4Ly6oNXZIJnAlgStNOa_SVsxwjOAKkQ8u7egRTA-pBE76UZarfAZwRFx0dMcedcR2uLMfuQrKHKHjcHC5XWEqTQrnR4MA1lC605QdR_-3Rip1ONmcfacv4ZR58ZvAKK4JM/s1600/foil1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOPn7gZQJi4Ly6oNXZIJnAlgStNOa_SVsxwjOAKkQ8u7egRTA-pBE76UZarfAZwRFx0dMcedcR2uLMfuQrKHKHjcHC5XWEqTQrnR4MA1lC605QdR_-3Rip1ONmcfacv4ZR58ZvAKK4JM/s640/foil1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> There were a few spots that I couldn't get completely smooth, but nothing terrible.

What makes it so special, you may ask? First, this is the very first Illaasqua polish that I have ever tried. Second, it was given to me by my dear friend Tara (<a href="http://polishyoftruth.com/">Polishyoftruth.com</a> <--check out her blog if you haven't already!). From the moment I saw a glimpse of this beautiful polish when it was first launched this fall, I knew I had to have it. <br /><br />"Charisma" is a raspberry-wine-magenta color, with a fine golden shimmer coursing through it. It's rich, deep color is dark, but not too vampy. This is an absolute perfect polish for those who don't want to wear red (me) during the holiday season- it's so festive and velvety:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuPuQ_eDomjKdoxgQ19Le_O4wVtgUrSDioeO9tPoatyOnks3HQagbbixQ312KtuFeFaMalzll9EvK_NGW0cwYDIgYemXdFTAamrKVsow_hfR8tqqg3AhXV9I2wWuGvAG0eq89heqYyz4/s1600/illamasqua3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuPuQ_eDomjKdoxgQ19Le_O4wVtgUrSDioeO9tPoatyOnks3HQagbbixQ312KtuFeFaMalzll9EvK_NGW0cwYDIgYemXdFTAamrKVsow_hfR8tqqg3AhXV9I2wWuGvAG0eq89heqYyz4/s640/illamasqua3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJ-HwYg0Ek2yWCPXKwOQxrXf42Ahl_2UzwxaAChpoLubfVblbBNcWeRF8eN6-wgvyMmmppfETPy3j0VNXGETVpjocjFUEN9tziKc22OzHh5hWYXIrWmGXxu5DuKRLLmleUd-oUN6A4Qw/s1600/illamasqua1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJ-HwYg0Ek2yWCPXKwOQxrXf42Ahl_2UzwxaAChpoLubfVblbBNcWeRF8eN6-wgvyMmmppfETPy3j0VNXGETVpjocjFUEN9tziKc22OzHh5hWYXIrWmGXxu5DuKRLLmleUd-oUN6A4Qw/s640/illamasqua1.jpg" width="446" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjrKuUSerOaRI0Dkx4USUnM3kksfQROAQsb3InkrSvZLtNhyV7fdswiFkUWfr5QEHZ1XFPzJBG7XNOVKJwmsJ5Npkd7PRgefAnpr3eikBkgCgGJxSF8PQuhNxiMxUWThIM5XXXflCmlc0/s1600/illamasqua2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjrKuUSerOaRI0Dkx4USUnM3kksfQROAQsb3InkrSvZLtNhyV7fdswiFkUWfr5QEHZ1XFPzJBG7XNOVKJwmsJ5Npkd7PRgefAnpr3eikBkgCgGJxSF8PQuhNxiMxUWThIM5XXXflCmlc0/s640/illamasqua2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Honestly, this is just perfect.

This week's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "oldest polish". Since I've already showed you my oldest polishes (the OPI's from the amazing Wild West Collection of 1999<a href="http://obsessivecosmetichoardersunite.blogspot.com/2012/08/blast-from-past-polish-opi-pistol.html"> here,</a> <a href="http://obsessivecosmetichoardersunite.blogspot.com/2012/10/blast-from-past-polish-opi-wild-west.html">here,</a> and<a href="http://obsessivecosmetichoardersunite.blogspot.com/2012/11/blast-from-past-polish-wyatt-earple.html"> here</a>) I decided to show the oldest one that I've actually owned and held onto since I bought it, which is not terribly old. You see, if you've read my blog in the past, you would know that I was not always the polish hoarder that I am today. In the past I would GET RID OF any polish that didn't do it for me (can you even imagine?!). Now I know better. My polish tastes do change from time to time, and when that happens, I can sometime fall in love with something that I had previously "written off".<br /><br />Anyway, here is OPI's "OP-I Love This Color". This came out with their 25th Anniversary collection back in 2006 (Fun fact: Did you know that OPI was originally started in the 80's as a dental supply company called 'Odontorium Products Inc'?). I bought this color, and have held onto it. That is quite a feat:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGxROLWvAVVFXJ-goiMfoK8YpRb_lY2qNV5PBe0Q08m0urpZKJTZ3jkNqTfFv-c0PNVu0CKf9z_hLk4E6wfCMT4rUsCWa279V0zwoL6pD_eIgP3fp87JvZjzJY2mnBWSZnZWR6BawcZc/s1600/opilove1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGxROLWvAVVFXJ-goiMfoK8YpRb_lY2qNV5PBe0Q08m0urpZKJTZ3jkNqTfFv-c0PNVu0CKf9z_hLk4E6wfCMT4rUsCWa279V0zwoL6pD_eIgP3fp87JvZjzJY2mnBWSZnZWR6BawcZc/s640/opilove1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />"OP-I Love This Color" is a warm burgundy wine shimmer. I haven't pulled this one out in years, but it is still such a fantastic color!<br /><br />What is the oldest polish in your collection? Do you hang onto them for awhile?<br /><br />Don't forget to see which oldies the other Twinsies have on their blogs today:<br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;

Beautiful, different, and definitely not what we have come to expect from a "main stream" companies. Do you know what this means? They are paying attention to the demand for new finishes as well as unique glitter combinations, which is excellent news!! <br /><br />Are you going to be picking up any from the 'Worlds Away' collection?? They should be available everywhere in December!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME0mWvxG6QYb9y0UdU9nchPl2hFTnYchsnStqsNLBlkZNdD8AfInnuYdczVzjyo6ZaPSSLFPBYsjHnJDDxWp6yEXrE6J90Y9O7NF8Y6nLSB8sZVIgVI0V4SNJ9bTxhbNbJVfL6vj2YNI/s1600/signature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME0mWvxG6QYb9y0UdU9nchPl2hFTnYchsnStqsNLBlkZNdD8AfInnuYdczVzjyo6ZaPSSLFPBYsjHnJDDxWp6yEXrE6J90Y9O7NF8Y6nLSB8sZVIgVI0V4SNJ9bTxhbNbJVfL6vj2YNI/s1600/signature.jpg" /></a></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031730533363147943.post-29841053846803143032012-11-24T07:08:00.000-08:002012-12-23T22:15:21.176-08:00Zoya Ornate Collection: Blaze Nail Polish (Pictures)Hi there! I'm finally emerging from my Thanksgiving induced coma-like state, and I am wearing this beauty on my nails- Zoya Blaze! "Blaze" is described by Zoya as being a cool toned mulberrry red with microfine diamond holographic glitter.

The fragrance and texture are absolutely heavenly. It truly has that 'whipped' consistency, and glides into the skin effortlessly, without making it feel greasy.

Thanksgiving! I really had no idea what I wanted to do for this theme. I finally decided on 'Apple Pie', because, honestly-that (and stuffing) is my favorite part of Thanksgiving ;) I am a reformed carb addict, but clearly Thanksgiving is the time to splurge a little! I think that pumpkin pie is usually the more popular choice on this holiday,but I don't like pumpkin (gasp!), and I LOVE apple!<br /><br />Moving onward, here are the polishes I used: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncYZtrvAlOfnBdNlimmHsyno9P-KiD0X7UFSYz7RrIl4LODHht5Wo9GmV5m9X74vW2dnDHZip9e-9e5xJMrDUB7fW0M1yOSYxm8hrxhw3Qt-TxO6D3jUZnFzfyOIegKdr5kcYFxl5vD0/s1600/thanks4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncYZtrvAlOfnBdNlimmHsyno9P-KiD0X7UFSYz7RrIl4LODHht5Wo9GmV5m9X74vW2dnDHZip9e-9e5xJMrDUB7fW0M1yOSYxm8hrxhw3Qt-TxO6D3jUZnFzfyOIegKdr5kcYFxl5vD0/s640/thanks4.jpg" width="546" /></a></div><br />I started with 2 layers of China Glaze "Desert Sun".

You could definitely use just one layer over a black polish and get a really pretty effect. Each layer adds more coverage. This was 3 layers on it's own, and I probably should've down 4- there are a few little bald spots in the pictures that aren't visible in real life. I'm still pretty mesmerized by this: <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8oKVDr-a8f7P58S5nXq9Pz0MalXOHNwyFRuogfu2dLAZo40L2gdlyA9vbTBXob57vKYRv5_QTFeNsBr4ziNAMU2ssaZVW0Sg1r53QEO9i4QtRQ98dDWfEkh9vUyDquDi2Tl3FczGc1LM/s1600/goldeneye1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8oKVDr-a8f7P58S5nXq9Pz0MalXOHNwyFRuogfu2dLAZo40L2gdlyA9vbTBXob57vKYRv5_QTFeNsBr4ziNAMU2ssaZVW0Sg1r53QEO9i4QtRQ98dDWfEkh9vUyDquDi2Tl3FczGc1LM/s640/goldeneye1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6RP1nXBUvMo_MYlvLprQ1qskCBCERW7GC-ycdrQi7stTMa11TC8jOvdiEsKhnmB-LlzKgX_wMUA8028Bdw42BUottXwP37iLwZyijfwPsoZiR_kqzlHNLh_O-8zMClxArRkK0m5lqqi0/s1600/goldeneye2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6RP1nXBUvMo_MYlvLprQ1qskCBCERW7GC-ycdrQi7stTMa11TC8jOvdiEsKhnmB-LlzKgX_wMUA8028Bdw42BUottXwP37iLwZyijfwPsoZiR_kqzlHNLh_O-8zMClxArRkK0m5lqqi0/s640/goldeneye2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDb9iOQqbuKk9UbHQPWu2tH4BHUHYlJc6eEKUfR9GdZWWzXTzxK6454FHfhxUWrPYGOUsqMz1E8fLZABMELhAgq2FD9bsk_nXCa9pbRPkfzrGAW4Zo3igG8h7biP3MtJ2CLuzs2J7QfM/s1600/goldeneye3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDb9iOQqbuKk9UbHQPWu2tH4BHUHYlJc6eEKUfR9GdZWWzXTzxK6454FHfhxUWrPYGOUsqMz1E8fLZABMELhAgq2FD9bsk_nXCa9pbRPkfzrGAW4Zo3igG8h7biP3MtJ2CLuzs2J7QfM/s640/goldeneye3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />I can't believe I wasn't going to get this for myself!

The formula was stellar- very easy to work with. I think "Cuddles" is the perfect shade for Fall; it reminds me of foliage. You can purchase Pomegranate Nail Lacquer from their <a href="http://www.pomegranatelacquer.com/collections/fall-2012/products/new-cuddles">website here</a>. The colors are limited edition, so get yours while they are still available! They have some great holiday gift sets available as well! I cannot wait to add many more Pomegranates to my collection<br /><br />What do you think of this shade? Have you tried Pomegranate yet? Do you love things that are named after food as much as I do?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME0mWvxG6QYb9y0UdU9nchPl2hFTnYchsnStqsNLBlkZNdD8AfInnuYdczVzjyo6ZaPSSLFPBYsjHnJDDxWp6yEXrE6J90Y9O7NF8Y6nLSB8sZVIgVI0V4SNJ9bTxhbNbJVfL6vj2YNI/s1600/signature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME0mWvxG6QYb9y0UdU9nchPl2hFTnYchsnStqsNLBlkZNdD8AfInnuYdczVzjyo6ZaPSSLFPBYsjHnJDDxWp6yEXrE6J90Y9O7NF8Y6nLSB8sZVIgVI0V4SNJ9bTxhbNbJVfL6vj2YNI/s1600/signature.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">***Product(s) in this post provided for review***</span><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
