Facebook Poll~Sparkly Markaly


Hey Ya'll!
   Is it Springtime yet? Boy do I wish it was, but that is beside the point! I'm here to show you all Sparkly Markaly by Whimsical Pam! Sparkly Markaly is limited editon as of now, only because Pam is having a hard time finding the right round glitter that she used for the first couple of batches she did for this polish. Last I heard she is still having problems finding it, when she ordered the round glitter that makes Sparkly Markaly she didn't realize how popular it was gonna be! As matter of fact, I was shocked when I got an invoice in my email for this polish! How exciting can one get! :)

   So without futher ado, let me show you Sparkly Markaly! To me this polish looks like it has a blood orange undertone (that is what it looks to me like). Not a bad thing at all! As matter of fact if the sun hit it just right, it definitely would be really pretty that way! This polish is full packed of glitter! I believe this could be a crelly, but more on the jelly side! Here Judge for yourself!


                                          With Bottle, No Flash at night with dinning room light 

                                Sunshine is shining into the room so was able to get a sunshine shot (without flash)


                                  Sunshine is still shining, so decided to show both of the sunshine pics! (without flash)

                                                 And tried to get a close of the round glitter! 

The formula on this polish was actually A LOT better than I expected! Honestly, I thought I was gonna have to fish out the round glitter, but oh that so was not the case at all! One thing I may not be too crazy about with this, is at different angles that you turn your hand, the round glitter tends to go to the dark side. As you see in the pic above, kinda look black instead of red, but that is just how it is with the angel! Over all I've had this polish on since Saturday night, no tipwear, no chips and still looks like I just did my nails! What could you ask more for on that huh? 

If you are lucky to have this in your collection (just to have it because of its limited-ness) then get it! I think maybe the next time I put this on is for a very HOT Date with Mr. Mani's Desires! This is a really pretty polish overall!

 Sorry for the lack of sun here in my state, just not happening! Again is it Springtime yet?

I hope you all enjoyed this post of Sparkly Markaly! It is as of now a limited edition!

Dupe or Not to Dupe

Evening everyone! Hope you all have had an amazing Monday! Tonight I bring you what I have found as a dupe, first off I want to show you what I am wearing and talk about its formula, and all that jazz. So let's get started!

Tonight I am wearing Butter London Chancer. It is a pretty ruby red! Here look for yourself:


 This was taking with the sun coming thru the window and no flash! Chancer is really pretty red, the formula was pretty good, not streaky and it took 2 coats to get that fullness, 3 coats probably would have been better! Topcoat I used is Out the Door. I do love my Butter London's though! So what do you think about this ruby red color, Does it remind you of something else! Yeah me too!

As I was painting I was looking at it like it looks so much of one that I already one! Well Ding Ding I was right. If you guess that Chancer looks like China Glaze Ruby Pumps, you are right! I did a comparison! Here let me show you:

                                           With Flash, 2 Coats (Butter London~Left, China Glaze~Right)

                                          Without Flash, 2 Coats (Butter London~Left, China Glaze~ Right)

If I had to make a guess, the only slight difference I see between the two is that China Glaze Ruby Pumps may just may have a slighter pink to it (btw sorry about the background, I was excited to do the comparison) and that the Butter London Chancer was the glitter in it might be a bit bigger! If I had to chose which one I would go with, I would have to say China Glaze Ruby Pumps! I think the main reason is because it is cheaper than Butter London, but rest assure I will be keeping both (for the fun of it).

You can find Butter London at Ulta, butterlondon.com, Nordstorm. I do know they were $14.00 as retailed but I believe they went up to $15.00 Retailed

China Glaze you can find at Sally's. They can retail anywhere from $4.99-$6.99 (unless you have a coupon or they have a really good sale going on).

Well, I was excited to get this post up and going to show the difference! Oh before I go, I now have a facebook page where you can follow me at and find the out the new things going on! Come like the page and have fun!

Well, that is all for me for now all polish lovers! Have a good one and until next time have fun painting!

Saint Patrick's Day

Evening Readers! I just wanted to do a quick post, since tomorrow is St Patty's Day. I thought I would share my mani with you all!



For my St Patrick's Day Mani I used 4 polishes. And the great part is they are all Sinful Colors, So I don't feel so bad for using cheaper polish on this mani, since St Patty's Day is only one day!

The Sinful Colors are: Exotic Green, Call you Later, Green Ocean and Snow White! And topped it off with Out The Door topcoat! Pretty simple mani (stick around and You'll see I don't do hard nail art).

You can find these great greens at your local Walgreens or some Walmarts. Retails for 1.99 each, and sometimes Walgreens runs a sale on them for .99.

So I hope you ALL have a great St Patrick's Day and don't forget your green, whether its on your tips or toes!

Until next time!

All Sinful Colors were purchased by me.

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

                 Hey guys, its me again! Sorry its been so long! I've had minor problems on getting into my blog since I created it! Now we are back in business.

                 Speaking of business, let's get to the real reason we are here! Nail Polish that is! Tonight I am wearing a new one from the OPI Euro Euro Collection: Can't Find My Czechbook. This color is a beautiful blue/greenish color. It reminds me so much of Spring and Easter combined! With a flash of a camera it definitely look like a bright Blue. Let me tell you this one won't disappoint at all!             See picture below: 

This picture was taking during the day with natural sunlight shining in the window, no flash needed here! It also has and accent of a polish made for me (by a friend) named: Butterfly Dreams, thought it was just perfect for this polish.

I have to say that Can't Find My Czechbook went on streaky the first coat I put on but the second coat smoothed it out nicely. This definitely had a shine to it with out the topcoat but to protect it more I put on my OPI Topcoat on and it added more shine to it! 

Overall, I'm pretty impressed with this polish and color! Actually I have more in this Collection and can't wait to try the rest of them! Can't Find My Czechbook is definitely gonna be my go to polish for the season (I almost wonder if I should have a back up, hehe).

You can find this at retailers for $9.00 at Ulta, Jc Penny, Some Smart Styles (the hair salon's at Walmart), Opi.com 

Well, stay tuned more to come!

Butterfly Dreams was made for me as a gift
