Shatters + Bottles by Shadow

I wanted to play with my new shatters so  I  did a quick mani I applied Revlon Royal then took out my Turquoise shatter and then thought to do some accent nails but i was pretty tired so I ended just using silver shatter for accent nails. It didn't feel complete so I added some glitter! I did one coat of Cover girl boundless color city lights and a coat of seche vite to smooth it out.

So I recently arranged a swap with Rebecca from rebecca likes nails and one of the the polishes in the swap was her beautiful fraken that she later named Rebecca likes cupcake. I had made an order from Transdesign.com and with that order I had got some empty bottles for Rebecca and to try to do a franken. As I was packing her stuff I had an AHA moment I thought to myself I sometime buy polishes because I like the shape of the decoration of the bottle so why not decorate the bottle.. I already had an idea of what I was going to draw because Rebecca love hello kitty like I do and her fraken is called Rebecca likes cupcakes so why not make a Hello Kitty Cupcake. I decided I would draw the outline with a sharpie and then design the entire thing with nail polish. Here is the begin of the the process

Here is all the polishes I used.

Final Product

After the polishes dried I added a coat of Seche Vite to give it some protection.I love how it turned out I almost kept it for myself but It was Rebecca's fraken that inspired this creation so she deserves it. I will be making more of these. 

Blue stripes failed mani

So I usually don't show failed manis but I just love the color of the polish I used and I didn't capture any pictures of it by itself. I attempted to do blue stripes because I was wearing a shirt with blue stripes so I went with the tape method. I had a hard time cutting the tape into strips as well as placing them straight. I used Wet N Wild white creme and Revlon Royal.

Any tips on how I can do this mani better?

Scented Nail Polish From Revlon

The other day at work one of my coworkers came up to me and asked me to smell her nail polish. I thought it was a little weird that I was smelling her fingers but I did anyways. Even though I can't smell due to my sinus issues which I will be having surgery to fix soon, I could still pick up a faint smell of blue berries! She told me that they have a whole collection out that are scented. I had to go out and buy some! They are a bit expensive for drugstore nail polish ( a little over $4) but I did it anyways. I bought two colors: Grape Icy and Mad About Mango. I really love the color of Grape Icy so I went for that one first. I decided to add a little bit of stamping and dotting as well:

I was having a terrible day with my sinuses when I did this mani so I couldn't tell you exactly what it smelled like but I asked my boyfriend what it smelled like. He told me that it smelled really sweet and like grape... so it pretty much smelled like a grape icy lol. The smell lasted for the whol 2 days that I kept this mani on. I would really love to know how long the smell lasts but I am too ADD with my nails to find out. Over all I like the scented polish even if it is a little weird to have people smelling your fingers.
