My Very First Deborah Lippmann!!!

Deborah Lippmann

Across the Universe

First of all I would like to thank Carly, at Lacquered Lover, for swapping me for this! I also blame her for making me want more DL's!

Across the Universe is a gorgeous green and blue glitter in a sheer dark blue base.

I chose to layer this over OPI DS Fantasy because I wanted to conserve this beauty and use less coats!

Yes I know i have shrinkage :( The huge chunk missing is also because I didn't let Gelous dry enough.

OPI DS Fantasy

OPI DS Fantasy

Fantasy is a gorgeous deep blue scattered holo.

You can also see some green in it as well, it reminds me of a mermaid or a deep blue ocean!

This one is just simply gorgeous!! I can't get enough of it, unfortunately I used Seche Vite and it shrunk almost instantly.

Ludurana Aurora Boreal Fascinante

Ludurana Fascinante

Fascinante is from the Aurora Boreal collection by Ludurana. Fascinante is a gorgeous multi-chrome nail polish that has great coverage in 2 coats! It also dries super glossy, so no top coat is needed!

The multi-chrome effect is from pink to an orange-brown to gold.

Pink

Pink to Orange-Brown

Gold

I am really loving these multi-chromes!! I think more are going to be added to my wish list immediately!!

The only issue is that they are a bit streaky and can leave bald spots so careful precise application is needed.

Luduranas are available on Llarowe. Llarowe is a website dedicated to selling gorgeous nail polish! You can also "Like" them on Facebook to get updates on stock and sales!!

Luduranas retail for $14 USD and are 8mL a bottle.

In other news, I found my Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love that I was frantically looking for the other day. I miraculously found it in my daughters room, of all places! She is my little polish collector in training after all, so I can't be too mad at her :)

Ludurana Emocionante Flakie-fied Matte

Ludurana Emocionante, Nubar 2010, and Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love

Yesterday I mentioned me adding yet another combination to that spectacular and breathtaking combo. Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

This just can't get any better!!! I really love the matte flakie look!! Too bad right after this, I lost my Hard Candy Matte :( Im hoping to buy another soon.

Ludurana Emocionante Flakie-fied!!!!

Ludurana Emocionante with 

Nubar 2010

I couldn't just leave Emocionante without sprucing it up a bit. Although it is gorgeous on its own! I decided to add Nubar 2010.

Sorry for all the pictures, I just couldn't resist! Isn't this just dreamy?!!! I love it!

Tomorrow I have yet another addition to this mani!!

Don't forget to enter my 400 Follower GLAMOURous Giveaway!! It ends 12.10.11!!

Ludurana Aurora Boreal Emocionante

Emocionante

Emocionante is a gorgeous purple multi chrome. The multi chrome effect goes from a dark blue, to purple, then a lighter pink purple, orange, then gold. Its truly amazing and gorgeous!

Blue to Purple

Purple to Pink

Pink to Orange

Orange to Gold

w/Flash in shade

Bonus picture to show the sparkle

This was so gorgeous and a beauty to apply. The application was great, only needing two coats, and all the pictures are with no topcoat. There is a slight smell, which isn't that bad, with the Luduranas but they are 3-Free.

You can purchase Luduranas from Leah Ann the US Stockist. She has a shop called Llarowe that has a wide variety of gorgeous nail polish brands! Check out Llarowe's Facebook page and "Like" it to get exclusive information on stock and sales!

The Luduranas retail for $14 at 8mL a bottle.

This product was sent to me for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

China Glaze Peri-wink-le with Ozotic 532

Peri-wink-le with Ozotic 532

Yesterday I had said in my post that I was going to spice my mani up...well here it is!!

532 is part of the mish mash collection. Since I layered it over the light blurple, you aren't really able to see the duochrome, but the holo is gorgeous! It did add a slight darker purple effect to it which is super duper hard to capture!

Here is what it looked like in the shade.

I really loved this mani so much that I wore it for a few days. I was actually able to wear it for about 5 days and the wear and tear was phenomenal!!! The chips that you do see are from me biting the corners, still overcoming my nail biting habit.

China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le

Secret Peri-wink-le

China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le has been on my wish list for quite sometime. I recently received it in a swap with Rebecca over at Rebecca Likes Nails. Im not going to lie, when I saw this I was like, why was this on my wish list in the first place, then I put it on...

Secret Peri-wink-le is a gorgeous dusty light gray blurple cream, periwinkle duh! Its gorgeous yet simple. It is a bit balding, but who cares!!!

Wait until you see what I have in store for tomorrow's post..Peri-wink-le will be all glammed up!
