Aurora Matte

The polishes used in this post were purchased by me, with my own money, long ago. 

I hadn't done my nails in a a week or so, and decided that was just uncalled for. My sister helped me select my color. She picked Zoya - Aurora.

Now, I love this polish, but have only used it twice, I think. I was pretty excited to use it again. 

It went on nicely, opaque in two coats. Dries quick. Is super shiny and holographic flecked. Gorgeous!

Though, because I seem to be the most bizarre pregnant woman out there, certain visual stimulus make me crazy nauseous. After about 6 minutes of admiring my manicure, I thought I was going to be sick, because my eyes just couldn't focus on all the pretty holographic depth. Frustrating.

So, I added a coat of NYC MatteMe Crazy. Problem solved.

Yes, I know. It's dang strange. I also get sick from computer screens, reading my nook, and scrolling on my cell phone for too long.  *eye roll*

Wha do you think? I actually really love it matte!

Silent Night Part 2 (Jindie Nails)

Less than a month ago, I reviewed a polish I had purchased, Silent Night by Jindie Nails.

That post can be seen here:

Since then, she has a new website, new label, and I think new bottles. Her site is now:

When I did the review, I didn't have my macro lens, so... I wore it again and had photograph!

Shown is three coats, no base color. A few of them also have a matte topcoat, which is how I ended up at the end of the day.

I love this polish. I hope one day to own also Water 4 Elephants, Snow Angels, Mango with the Flow, Live Out Loud and a few more!

I mustache you a question...

Will you go vote for me, please?

Well, in a week or so, that is.

Don't worry. I will remind you.

So, this is the design Desi and I thought I should do for the contest. (I own all the polishes, this is a non-sponsored post, by the way.)

I've entered into a beginner/new blog nail art contest! This is my first free-hand art manicure! How did I do?

I used some lovely Zoya cremes for the bases, and then Sally Hansen "Black Out" for the mustache gallery. Haha. I painted using my dotting tool! Considering ice had four cups of coffee, I think I did pretty well!

Zoya polishes used, from thumb to piby are: Wednesday, Yummy, Mira, Gweneth, and Arizona. I used two coats each!

I like it best matte.

Black starburst

I'm in a bummed mood, so I'm not dedicating a lot of effort to this entry.

Zoya storm is the base on accent nails.

Sally Hansen.. A solid black polish is atop.

I used a single star from a Wet N Wild Fergie (Hollywood Walk of Fame I believe).

It took two coats of top coat to get mostly smooth because my black is old and really thick.

I then used Hard Candy's discontinued matte top coat.

I'm not feeling the dedication to watermarking the photos either, but I love how the manicure turned out!

Peace.

Enchanted Star Dust

Quick post here. These were the other two Sinful Colors polishes I grabbed last weekend in the 4/$5 sale.

I decided I wanted them matte. I like them even better that way!

No problems or complaints with application or dry time!

Picture heavy. I wasn't in the mood to be particular.
