ManGlaze Nail Mail

ManGlaze MailThis afternoon I welcomed my first ManGlaze nail lacquers into my home. It was love at first sight!!

How great is this package? They included two ManGlaze stickers, some business cards, and a ManGlaze guitar pick!

 I purchased ManGlaze Santorum, Cabrón, and Lesbihonest. I can't wait to get these on my nails! More importantly, I can't wait for someone to ask what is ON my nails..oh, the look on their face when I tell them the name! PRICELESS!


I also want to add that ManGlaze has pretty great customer service. I had purchased these last Saturday and was worried because my shipping hadn't updated yet. All I had to do was comment on their Facebook page and ask! They immediately replied and got everything fixed! Also my packaged arrived a week later!

ManGlaze retails for $13.13 but are on sale right now for $11.82

You can purchase ManGlaze through their Facebook page or through their Amazon store.

Zoya Anja & Nail-Venturous Rustic Remains

Zoya AnjaAnja is a gorgeous deep dark plum creme nail polish. It reminds me of a dark wine color. Here is Anja applied with two coats, no topcoat.

Anja is a really pretty vampy color. It almost resembles China Glaze Crimson. It really looks black in the photo's but in real life, its a pretty deep red/plum color.

Rustic Remains

I decided to layer Rustic Remains over Zoya Anja. Rustic Remains is another exclusive franken from Amy at I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous.

Rustic Remains is a golden orange based flakie with small particles of multicolored shimmer.Adding Rustic Remains truly was a miracle!! It looks so gorgeous over Anja and really brings out the best in this color.

Nail-Venturous Forever Taylor

Forever Taylor

Today, I have another franken by Amy at I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous. We are in a nail polish group together and I had asked if any of the frankeners could create a black glitter nail polish for me since I had never seen one before.

Forever Taylor is a gorgeous black glitter nail polish with holo glitter. It has many different sized glitter in it to create depth and a more glittery look. I really love what she did with my idea, she made it come to life!!

I really love this and I am so glad that Amy offered to create this for me, she really is a sweetheart!! 

What really is interesting about this nail polish is the unexpected larger hex glitters, it really adds to the polish making it unique and pretty! I wanted something that could be chic, yet girly and pretty, not just a plain black nail polish. She really hit it out of the park with this one!

What do you think? Would it be something that you would purchase?

My First YouTube Haul Video

So I wanted to try and SPICE things up a bit and do a video for you guys. Yesterday I had a mini haul and thought it would be a great way to interact and show you guys nail polish at the same time!! I think its great to put a voice to the nails sometimes :)

Please let me know what you think and if this is something you want to see more of!

Nail-Venturous Laquers: VooDoo Doll

VooDoo Doll

VooDoo Doll is another great franken that was created by the awesome Amy at I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous. I think she needs to stop before she dominates the nail polish world too much ;)

VooDoo Doll is an awesome black and white glitter nail polish. It has a very jelly-sheer black base with multiple sized and shaped black and white glitters. What probably catches your eye the most is the large white hex ones!

I really love how layered this polish looks! Its so neat and unique that I just can't stop staring at my nails today! I can totally see the direction Amy was going when naming this VooDoo Doll, you get stuck in a trance just looking at it! To me it reminds me of a flip flopped version of cookies and cream ice cream, yum!

Nail-Venturous Pinkerbell & Floam Zebra

Today I added a stamp to my mani from yesterday. I decided to do a zebra stamp using BM 223 with Sally Hansen White On just to add a little something extra. I love how simple and cute it turned out!

The wear on these Nail-Venturous lacquers are really good! I have been cleaning, folding laundry, giving my daughter a bath, taking a shower, etc...and its held up SUPER good!

Nail-Venturous Pinkerbell & Floam

Remember that totally awesome and amazing nail mail I received the other day? You know, the one with those Ah-Ma-ZING frankens from I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous? Well today I'm going to show you Pinkerbell and Floam.

Some of you might recognize the name Floam. Well it was a 90's toy craze that kids, like myself, begged their parents to buy. Amy had a little trouble trying to come up with a name for it, and luckily we have a ninja like Rhonni who thought of it!

How perfect is that name?

Pinkerbell is actually Floam's long lost sister polish. Pinkerbell has the same glitters as Floam, but with pink added.

I decided to do a mani using both!

All pictures are two coats.

 

This picture is my favorite because it brings out the blue!

Please, feel free to click pictures and enlarge the beauty.

These were super easy to apply and dried relatively fast, a little slower than normal glitters but faster than normal cremes. After drying, I added a coat of Gelous and Seche Vite.

Are you in love yet?

:)

Don't forget to check out Amy's blog over at I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous for your chance to win Floam, Pinkerbell, & Orange You Unique?

Valentines Day Mani #2

The other day I posted my very first Valentines Day mani. Well today, I have another one to show you!

After doing my mani I was really unsure as to what I should do to my other hand! I tried to something a little easier because I am not that good yet at doing nail art with my left hand.

The kisses were a huge hit on my last mani, so I decided to do a "kissed nail" to get the effect of an overwhelming amount of kisses is being given.

The colors and plate I used are all relatively the same, except for the index finger. For the index finger I used a base of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, then one coat of Icing After Party, and one coat of OPI I Lily Love You.

The plate I used is BM02 from the 17 piece Bundle Monster stamping plate set.

Valentines Day Mani

I know Valentines Day is a little ways away, but it's one of my favorite occasions so I couldn't resist starting a mani.

Here are the colors and tools I used for this mani.

Sally Hansen White On, OPI DS Temptation, Lynnderella Love Potion No 99, Orly Bubbly Bombshell, Lynnderella The Telltale Heart, Shany Nail Art Stripers, OPI Planks A Lot, OPI That's Hot! Pink, Bundle Monster nail art tools, and Bundle Monster plate BM02. 

I also used a heart rhinestone from an ebay set which is not pictured.

 Here is a picture without flash to show the dimensions of the glitter.

What do you think? Im hoping to do a few more Valentines Day inspired manis, so I would love some feedback!
