OUT OF THIS WORLD - MATTE

I decided to use China Glaze Matte Magic over my yesterday's NOTD. The base is Ruby Kisses topped with NYX Enchanted Forest.









Then for a little fun and because I wanted to use my new bundle monster plates, I stamped a green star on my nails.

OPI - INK, SUEDE

Picked this baby up at Ulta a while back. LOVE IT! This reminds me of dark wash jeans. I did two coats and it applied like a dream. Like all mattes, dry time is excellent! But wanna know the best part?? Scroll down. . . . .










The best part is, I snagged it for only $4.99! I love showing my clearance stickers :)

NOTD - PURPLE STARS

Well I finally dug out and unpacked my konad stamping stuff! Go me!! I used one of my bundle monster plates, I think it was 21 or 22, something like that. The full nail designs on the BM plates are really small, so it wouldn't cover my thumb nail without doing a double stamp, so I decided to just use the star image instead. I added some silver flashy stars and added a matte coat.





And here is the look with a coat of seche over the top:










I used a Confetti brand polish for the base coat, forgot the name! And for the stamping design I used Diamond Cosmetics Crushed Velvet.

NEON SKITTLES - MATTED

Just a couple of quick pics of yesterdays mani with a coat China Glaze Matte Magic.

Also, I will have pictures of my very 1ST WATER MARBLE mani coming up today - squeeeee!

MAYBELLINE MATTES

My huge Dollar Tree haul happened while out of town for the Strawberry Fest. We were within 20 miles of the Arkansas border and Ft. Smith - so we decided to try and hit up a few before heading back to Oklahoma City. We stopped at one that didn't have much and when I asked if there were any others in town I was informed of a "race track" Dollar Tree. I have never heard of "race track" DT's and they told me that it means that the store is huge. Have you all ever heard of such a thing?

Huge it was! It was in a building about the size of a grocery store. I went straight for the nail polish and this is what I found: (click images to see detail)



I turned and called for a basket STAT!!! All of this glorious polish just waiting for me to snag! There was an old lady that was breathing down the back of my neck - I think she was just drawn by the frenzy I was creating. I bet she was disappointed when I finally moved out of the way and she realized it was just some old bottles of nail polish! Ha ha - serves her right for treading on my territory! lol The top 3 rows were out of my reach so i called for backup! A SA brought a ladder over and we tackled the last couple bottles.

So thanks Fort Smith, AR - thanks for everything!!


MATTE OLIVE




MATTE GREY




MATTE GOLD




MATTE STONE



This didn't seem very matte to me, so I tried a coat of Matte Magic over it, not much difference, but a little.

OPI - JADE IS THE NEW BLACK & LA PAZ-ITIVELY HOT MATTE

JADE IS THE NEW BLACK
What can I say about this one other than GET IT NOW!!!





LA PAZ-ITIVELY HOT MATTE
I'm not a huge fan of OPI and really don't own that many. But after seeing several pics of this one I wanted it. This applied like a dream as far as the brush goes, which is strange since that's one of the things I dislike about OPI. This was like a perfect application - no clean up at all involved before I took these pics.

On the bad side, I had to apply three coats to get rid of VNL!!!

RUBY KISSES - DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

This Ruby Kisses polish is a must have for my fellow dark blue polish lovers out there. It is just gorgeous!! Ruby Kisses brand are usually found at local beauty supply stores. I first found this brand on a trip to Las Vegas at a local beauty supply store and flea market. I have since found it here locally at a wig and beauty supply store. These go for around $1.50 each. Ruby Kisses brand is actually a very nice formula and they have some interesting colors too. My bottle says this is a new color.
