ALIEN EYES

Alien Eyes is what Little called this mani when I showed it to him - so that's the name I'm going with.

I painted a white base coat down, then used Color Club's gold crackle polish. Then I added the "alien eye" using black iron on nailheads I found at Michael's.

FYI - No I didn't "iron on" the nail heads, I know someone's gonna ask. I just used topcoat to make them stick.

NOTD - BABY BLANKET HEARTS

I don't know why, maybe it is the pastel colors, but this mani makes me think of a baby blanket. I used Sinful Colors Beverly Hills and Unicorn and then used OPI White Shatter. I then stamped a heart on the top - awwwww!

COLOR CLUB - FRACTURED COLLECTION PART 2

Good morning! Today I am sharing part 2 of Color Clubs addition to the crackle craze. Color Club has added a gold, magenta and electric blue. The electric blue is my favorite, I wore this over black for like 4 days - that is like a marathon for me. The gold was a little tricky for me, and I found it works best over a dark base color to really show up. The gold isn't a solid gold, it is kinda piece-y, if that makes sense. I like the color additions, great job Color Club.

SWEET NAILS & SWEET FOOD

First up - the nails. This was my NOTD a couple of days ago. I really liked this color combo. I have had a hard time finding a color combo where I liked the white shatter. So I was very nicely surprised by this. I want to wear this again in the near future. I used China Glaze - Moulin Rouge and then OPI - White Shatter. Then I added a skull sticker for fun.







Now for the food! These were desserts I made for the Fourth of July holiday.

Reese's Peanut Butter bottom cupcakes. Basically you put a resses peanut butter cup in the bottom of a foil cupcake liner before adding your cake batter and backing. Let me just tell you - heaven!!!!!!!!!! I used a devils food cake and homemade chocolate butter creme frosting.





Vanilla cupcakes with a light cream cheese butter creme frosting and red, white & blue decorations.




I made three kinds of brownies, but only took a picture of this one. The others were plain and caramel swirl. This one is a cheesecake swirl brownie topped with leftover chocolate butter creme frosting, chocolate sprinkles, vanilla crunch sprinkles and dark chocolate crumbles.

COLOR CLUB - FRACTURED COLLECTION PART 1

Today I am showing you the first three of six new colors from Color Club. They are calling their crackle line "fractured", which I think is pretty cool. I also think Color Club has come up with THE BEST names for their polishes - with Broken Tokens being my favorite, not only in name, but in color too.

I really liked these polishes, I thought they all fractured really well and I love that they changed the way the handle on the brush looks, so I can easily spot that it's a fractured polish. If I had one gripe, it would be the small brush. Don't get me wrong, the brush works great for their regular line of polishes, but I think a wider brush is best when working with a fractured polish. A wider brush makes it easier to make less brush strokes, which ensures the best looking fractured nails. You can see when I used Clean Break, I missed the middle section of my nail and had to make three swipes and the middle swipe just didn't fracture very well.

There are three more colors to be released with their fractured line - fuchsia, blue and gold. Gotta say, I'm really hoping the gold turns out to be like Broken Tokens just gold instead of silver. Overall - really great collection!
