Illamasqua Jewels- Rampage and Phallic!

Been swapping away to upgrade my stash a bit, and the edgy, fabulous, perfect formula Illamasquas have been high on my list. These two just begged to be put together, and except for a bit of smurfiness from the navy shimmer Phallic, I am so pleased with the result. Rampage is my favorite emerald at the moment as well. Pantone color of the year for a good reason. Two coats each,  HK Girl over.

China Glaze Elfin' Around from the Holiglaze Collection!

Anyone Seeing a Pattern Here?

Keeping with the dotted flower mani, here it is interpreted in yellows- for Paula :)

MSMD Take Two!!

So, Ashley, my "short nail model" for Beauty and Lifestyle Bridal magazine go, see, here liked the last dotticure I did, so I recreated it in greens on her nails! This really is a fun high-impact manicure!

MSMD AUTUMN!!!

I got so excited when I saw this pop up in Pinterest. Some of most loved and well used polishes were included, not to mention dotting, my favorite technique. I modified the colors a hair, using China Glaze Kalahari Kiss as the base, Brownstone, Desert Sun and Mahogany Magic for the flowers. Seche Vite to cover.

Oh Oh Oh!

OZOTICS IN DA HOUSE! I hadn't tried the gorgeous duochromes I have been guarding with my life (well, my Helmer) and decided that one of Crumpet's "splodge" manicures would give me chance to see all three in their glory.  The bottle shots are really truly the same polishes just pictures taken from different angles. Splodged over Cult Nails Nevermore- a true one-coat black. I also added a few daubs of OPI DS Sapphire for good luck.  Poshe over.

The best of both Yellow and Orange Holo

Two coats of the tangerine orange holo Jade Uau topped with one of Jade Mystic Gold. Perfect.

Feeling Like Summer Won't Leave

Illamasqua is a grass green (acidic lime on the website) with a shimmer finish. Three coats were needed for opacity, but the polish flows well and the brush is perfection. After a day I dressed it up with some spots and flowers. Wearing this for three days now and it makes me happy! This shade of green is really my happy place.
