Layering: Savage Plume

Polishes Used:

1 Coat Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler
2 Coats SinfulColors Savage
2 Coats SinfulColors Prized Plume*
1 Coat SinfulColors Clear Coat
1 Coat Seche Vite

If this layering doesn't have you channeling your inner peacock... I don't really know what will! It's blue, bright, and cheery and is definitely making me crave warmer, sunnier Spring weather. Especially in the midst of all. this. snow. O.o

SinfulColors Savage is a gorgeous peacock blue creme that dries matte and is easily opaque in one coat. Buuuut you know me and my wrapping issues, so two coats it was! On top, I layered Prized Plume, a gorgeous cornflower blue irridescent shimmer that really makes Savage shine and come alive.

Prized Plume is one of three opalescent toppers included in SinfulColors Spring Fever collection for 2015. Prized Plume was sent for review, and I picked up Savage last week at Walgreens. It's part of the permanent collection there, and I believe you can find it on the Flight Patterns Spring Fever display. So far, I've only spotted that display at KMart, and that was on January 29th. I have yet to see a new SinfulColors display at either of my area Rite-Aids. They seem to be very understocked with LE displays at the moment. Booooo.

But YAY for bright blue layerings like this one that make me hang on to the hope that is called Spring. Because honestly, I'm so incredibly over snow, ice, sleet and even my Uggs. Bring on the rain boots, windbreakers and WARM. 'Cause, you know, right now warm is like 40, but I will take it in a heartbeat!

Anyone else out there channeling Spring like me?

SinfulColors Mauve On Seriotype

Whether you call it a seriotype or smooshy... (I prefer seriotype) there is just something about this style of manicure that I can't get enough of.

It's been a little while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Life happens, you know? Oddly enough, I didn't stop painting my nails during my hiatus. I kept taking pictures for a while, and then that just sort of stopped to. Weird how some habits die hard, while others don't change a bit. Anyhoo... I found pictures of this mani in my files and couldn't believe I didn't share it! This was one of my favorite polishes last spring, and I recreated this exact seriotype/ a few times. This mani started out with 3 fresh coats of Mauve On. I typically wrap my tips on the 2nd c

Fishbowl Friday 073 // Recreation

Every now and then, I enjoy looking back over past manicures. Creatively, it's just neat to see how far I've come since the days I started. Oddly enough, when I chose this prompt, I knew exactly which manicure I wanted to recreate. Based loosely on Fishbowl Friday 027 , today's seriotype nails are a RECREATION ...

One of the things that took me a while to master was the balance of nail polish finishes. While seriotypes made exclusively with creme polishes look cool, those made with a combination of different finishes really pop. There's more depth involved when you layer a metallic over a jelly neon and

Fishbowl Friday 072 // Hard Candy

We're going to skip that whole part where we talk about how it's been a while, because well, it's been a really long while. I'm still trying to work out how to make room for blogging and juggle everything else, and it's definitely been a challenge. But know that I am working on it, and I do really, really miss it. This place has been my Quantum of Solace for a long time, and I'm not planning on letting it go anytime soon. That being said... for this week's prompt, I was happily surprised when I pulled HARD CANDY . This is probably one of the most iconic brands of nail polish, and it's certainly gone through it's own number of changes throughout the years. Who didn't want to own a bottle of Sky once they saw it on Alicia Silverstone's nails way back in the 90's? Last year, Hard Candy celebrated their 20th anniversary by bringing back some of their most iconic shades. The collection was a mix of five original shades and three new ones.
