Anna Sui - Limited Edition Minnie Mouse Bottle Collection

As some of you know, I'm a sucker for packaging.  So when I saw that Anna Sui not only had polish inspired by Disney; but she has bottles in the shape of Minnie Mouse I had to have some. 

 For today's nails I used N 002 Snow White.

 Forget about the bottles, seriously look at how cute the boxes are.  My husband ordered these from Beautylish.    N 002 Snow White is a sheer white with silver glitter.

  Application was nice, no streaks or bald spots and dried fairly quickly.  I didn't notice the signature tea rose scent that's found in Anna Sui nail varnish so I'm not sure if I'm missing it or it's not in these.

 I added some neon pink hearts to my nails by using Konad Princess polish in Psyche Pink and Sugar Bubbles plate 007.

Oh my goodness these are bright, so not used to it.

There's a few hours left until my birthday giveaway.  You can win a Magno XL stamper and 2 Handy stamping plates.  

Good Luck!

PLL- Red Coat Tuesday

For this weeks Red Coat Tuesday, I broke out the YsL polish I picked up at an outlet. 

 It's called Rouge DADA.

Rouge DADA is a lovely candy apple red.  By looking at the bottle I was expecting more of a wine color.  I really like the brush in these YsL polishes, the flat rounded tip makes the application a breeze.

 I added some designs using Essie Good as Gold and plate 007 from Sugar Bubbles.

This is one of my favorite designs because its half outlined and the other half is filled in.  So you can get two different looks from the same image.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the other red mani's over at Color Me So Crazy.

AIS Sunday Challenge - Flowers

Today's challenge over in Adventures in Stamping is to use flowers.  

This is what I came up with.

This is part of what I used for today's mani.  Not pictured is OPI Chic From Ears To Tail(pink) and Konad White.  The youngest took off with them now I have to hunt them down.

CG Four Leaf Clover, Zoya Pippa, and Beautifully Disney Off To The Ball

I started off with my favorite light blue base of Off To The Ball.

Next using Sugar Bubbles plate 003 and Konad white, I added clouds.

I made a decals using the Pro Collection -08 plate from MoYou.

Here is the finished look.

Chanel - Cosmic

Cosmic is a special edition polish that is part of the Nuit Magique Collection.  These are a Macy's exclusive or can be purchased from Chanel for $27.

Cosmic is a black jelly with shimmers in blue and silver.  Even in direct sunlight the shimmer is well hidden.

The formula is a little thin, but it applied nice and smooth.    This is two coats, I tried a different QDTC and that is the reason for the shrinkage.

I thought it would look like Zoya Storm, but with blue.  Not even close.

 I went ahead and added a couple of Christmas designs using the Sugar Bubbles plate Special 002 and Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Silver Sweep

I got a few drag marks when I added the top coat.

AIS Challenge - Using Three Blues

Today's challenge over in the facebook group Adventures in Stamping is to use 3 different blue polishes.

Big surprise, with the weather being so cold, I went with  a snowflake design.  

 I used Zoya Blu as a base and stamped using CG Blue Bells Ring and KC Metallic Sapphire

 I added a coat of Sinful Colors Pearl Harbor to the base to keep it from looking flat.

 I used two plates for the flakes.  From Sugar Bubbles plate SB Special 002 and from My Online Shop MJ VII

 

A bit of a fail because you cant really see a difference between the two stamped blues.  

Clean up was a pain, I have a feeling I'm going to be sporting Smurf fingers.

Sunday's Adventures in Stamping Challenge - Ungirly Nails

For today's challenge, we couldn't use any girlie stuff.  So no pink, or glitter and this is what I came up with.

 Here is what I used

Rejuvacote, Paper Mậché, Black Vinyl, Ghouls Glow, Superdry TC

 The bottle really glows in pics, and the nails do too, they just don't photograph well.

Using  Sugar Bubbles plate 001, Konad White and KC Black I added the skulls.

 Keep in mind when you add the glow in the dark  polish, it will change the color to an off white shade.

 Here is a blurry, some what glowey picture of the effect it gives you.  It is a little freaky at night time when the lights go down and you only see your nails floating around.

First Halloween Nails of the Season

 I know it's early but I can't wait for Halloween so here we go.  This is what I ended up with.

Started off with

 Sephora by OPI Cab Fare, CG Riveting, and CG Foxy

 I used CG Riveting as the base, this was from the 2012 Hunger Games Collection.  I added a gradient to the accent nail using Cab Fare, Riveting, Foxy and a make-up sponge.

 Using plate MJ VII and KC in black I added the cat to the accent nail.

I added paw prints using plate SB 013, from Sugar Bubbles.

Lilo and Stitch Nails

I recently participated in a group buy for some Sugar Bubbles Plate and they finally arrived.  I bought plate SB 13 for the Stitch image and here is what I did.

I didn't want to stamp the image directly on my nail because I wanted it to have colors so I made a decal instead.  I use parchment paper to make it easier to remove the decals when they are done.  

 For a base I started off with  CG Snap my Dragons, the perfect red for Lilo's dress.  Next on my accent nail I used BarryM Cyan Blue for Stitch. 

 I used the Fun 2 plate from Fab ur Nails to add the white flowers.
