Daring Digits - Daring & Digits
Hello Everyone!!!! I am freaking out that it's the last day of February tomorrow. This will be Thursday's post, but I'm posting it early because....
Daring Digits is having a GIVEAWAY that is ending in just over an hour!!! Enter HERE!! It's totally my fault! I should have told you guys sooner. I'm so sorry!!!!
******UPDATE: I asked Ashley if she would extend her giveaway so that you, my dear readers, would have the chance to enter!! Please take a second to enter this awesome giveaway HERE!! - it ends on 3/3!*******
Here are the polishes that were named after her company, which just celebrated it's first year of business!! Yay for Ashley!! A huge congrats!!!! This is Digits!
For this mani, I used 2 coats and Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails.
Love all the rainbow of colors. This is a nice white jelly base!
You can find Daring Digits polishes at http://www.ddpolish.com/. For more info and to stay up to date, follow Ashley on Instagram - @daringdigits, blog - www.daringdigits.blogspot.com, and Facebook.

This is Daring! I love it because it kind of plays on the dark side, that is Daring...get it? haha ok, cheesy :-) But this is gorgeous!
For this mani, I used 3 coats along with Wicked Fast top coat by Cult Nails.
The black jelly base shows off the layers of glitter!! So pretty!
Close up!
Since these are jelly polishes, I decided to try layering!
This is Sinful Orange Cream with 2 coats.
I then placed 1 coat of Daring and Digits on every other finger, topped with Clearly On Top by KBShimmer. I love Digits over this!!!
Lighter colors are going to look awesome with this white base, while darker colors will look better with the black jelly. That makes these very versatile.

This is ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly, 1 coat and a matte polish.
Again, I used 1 coat every other nail of Daring and Digits, topped with Clearly On Top by KBShimmer. This time I think Daring is better for the darker base!!!
Both of these are gorgeous mixes!! Ashley did have a bit of complaints on a smell of her polish. You can read more about it HERE. I didn't notice the white bases, but some of the others I received were stronger. I honestly smell polish so much, I am used to it. That might be kind of scary...LOL :-) Anyway, I think Ashley is fantastic when it comes to customer service. She is always sweet and there to help. She always strives to meet customer satisfaction. She is also very creative and has a lot of different types of polishes to buy!! I definitely recommend checking her out.
Close up! Isn't that gorgeous!?

I hope you have a fantastic day tomorrow!!

Frankenstine Polish - Kel Loves Orange Soda
Hello Everyone!!! Mr. CC & I met with the trainer of Coda, our German Shepherd last night. It sounds like he is acting out because he wants dominance and after just 10 minutes of the trainer working with Coda, he was acting a lot better!! I know it will still be hard work, but I'm glad we're getting onto the right path with this to correct his behavior!! Yay!!
Today we have Frankenstine Polish with Kel Loves Orange Soda!! What a gorgeous jelly!
For this mani, I used 3 coats of Kel Loves Orange Soda and 2 coats over a black creme for the accent finger. I topped it using KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat.
There is a beautiful shimmer through this along with white glitters, orange large hexagons, and holographic bar glitter.
You can check out Christine, the owner, Facebook page for swatches of other colors! She is also on Instagram as @christineambrosia and has swatches there as well!! Here is some info on her ordering!

Mrs. P's Nail Potions!
Hello Everyone!! Today is my 300th Post! I dunno why I think that number is so cool, haha but it is :-) Maybe because I love number 3? haha
Today I have two gorgeous polishes from Mrs. P's Nail Potions! First up, we have Gold Digger, which is a color changing polish!!
This is 3 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat. It is a bit sheer, but I wonder if it will work to layer and still see any color changing! hmmmm!
As the pictures go on, you'll see the rusted looking gold turn to a brighter gold...
This isn't just the lighting, as you can really notice when washing your hands!! My tips stay darker though with the small free edge.
This is really gold! I love how pretty the shimmer is in this.
Such a pretty color changing polish! You can see the dark tips. I love both colors together!
Close up!
Next we have Pink/Blue Shifty.
This is 3 coats with KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat.
The shift in this is stunning!! I have a similar color, but it isn't near as beautiful as this with the blue shinning through the pink!
Pardon the label...I smudged it because I had acetone on my finger! :-( lol
Bed room lighting and blurred a little bit. Isn't that shimmer gorgeous? It glows!

Lush Lacquer - Neon Collection!
Hello Everyone!! Thank you again for all of your support this past weekend as my family said goodbye to our dog, Tiger. He will be very missed.
Today I have Lush Lacquer's Neon Collection to show you! These are bright and fun creations that helped give me a smile!
For purchasing, you can shop on Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/shop/lushlacquer. They're polishes are $9 each. You can also find Lush Lacquer on Facebook - here! Lush Lacquer is a mother & daughter team, Karin & Lexi, and they are fantastic! I always love their creations. Lots of pictures for this collection!! Enjoy!
First up, Neon Lights.
This is two coats with KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat.
This applied very nicely! I love the bright glitters in the white, creamy base.
Karin & Lexi describe it as: Neon Lights is like a breath of fresh air!! It has a milky white opaque base. This polish has a great amount of bright neon colors scattered throughout it! We use hexes of different sizes in this beauty. We have neon pink, neon yellow, neon green and neon orange scattered throughout this color combination. What a combo!!!!! Per a few customers requests, we recently added big neon pink hexes to it...now it's perfect... It goes on very creamy and looks gorgeous on! Perfect for Spring and Summer!!!!!
Close up!
Next we have Haywire.
This is 2 coats with Clearly on Top top coat.
There are bar glitters of orange and blue in this mix as well as purple, green, pink, orange, and blue hexes in multiple sizes.
Karin & Lexi say: Haywire is wild, flirty, funky and fun!! It has a milky white opaque base. (the white base in this polish takes on a faint pink hue in the pictures here and in the bottle, but the base goes on the nail as white). This polish has a great amount of bright neon colors scattered throughout it! We use hexes and short bar glitters of different sizes in this beauty. We have neon pink, neon yellow, neon green, neon orange, neon purple and neon blue scattered throughout this color combination. This combo really packs a punch!...lol It goes on very creamy and looks gorgeous on! Perfect for Spring and Summer, Winter and Fall!!!!!
This is a fun one. The bar glitters really give it a different look from the others. I love all the bright colors again in the white base!
Close up!
Next we have I Lost My Marbles.
This is two coats along with Clearly On Top top coat by KBShimmer.
Love the pink base to this one!! And again with the gorgeous neon glitters, it gives it a unique look with the tinted base!
Karin & Lexi say: I Lost My Marbles is Sooooo Beautiful !!!!!! It has a beautiful bubblegum pink opaque base. This color base is the most gorgeous pink! This polish has a great amount of bright neon colors scattered throughout it! We use hexes of different sizes in this beauty. We have all colors of the rainbow scattered throughout this color combination (pink substitutes red...lol). What a combo!!!!! It goes on very creamy and looks dreamy on!
The polish has lots of glitters in it, but it does apply nicely! It's great that it's opaque in 2 coats!
Close up!
Next we have Green Genie.
This is two coats along with KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat.
Karin & Lexi say: Green Genie is Sooooo Cool and Very Different!!!!!!! It is a beautiful lime/bright green base polish with bright neon colors scattered throughout it! (due to the fact that we mix each batch of green pigment by hand...no two batches of green color will ever be the same). Sometimes this green base tends to have more of a bright mint look to it and other times it has a lime green look to it. We use hexes of different sizes in this beauty. We have all colors of the rainbow scattered throughout this color combination (pink substitutes red...lol). What a combo!!!!! It goes on very creamy and looks dreamy on!
This one also applied great! Two coats and it is opaque, and what a unique base color! I am loving the green base to this one! It definitely reminds me of Spring, but the neon glitters also remind me of fun in the sun for Summer!! This is a great one.
I love the big hexes in this one too!
Close up!
Next we have Blue Gypsy.
This is 2 coats along with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat. I wanted it to be a bit smoother, so I added the extra top coat.
The base in this is a little more sheer, but is opaque with the second coat. I tilted my bottle upside for a second before painting, and that helped grab extra stars and the gorgeous fuchsia circle glitters!
Karin & Lexi describe it as: Blue Gypsy is GORGEOUS!!!!!!! It is a beautiful jelly blue base polish with bright neon colors scattered throughout it! (we hand make each batch of this polish so the blue base color will vary from each batch... ) We use hexes, stars and dots in different sizes in this beauty. We have neon purple, neon orange and neon blue glitters throughout this color combination. We added black stars and purple holo dots to spice it up!!!! What a combo!!!!! It is dreamy on!
The purple, orange, and black look fantastic in this light blue base. The stars really pop against everything!
Close up!
Last but certainly not least, this is the base colors I chose for Clowning Around.
Sinful Colors - 2 coats each, from top to bottom: Unicorn, Sugar Rush, Sweet Tooth, and Cotton Candy.
Then I applied 1 coat of Clowning Around and topped with KBShimmer Clearly On Top top coat.
This is the gorgeous Neon glitters in a clear base!! Perfect for layering over multiple colors! I personally love the look of the pastel colors against the bright neons!
Karin & Lexi say: Clowning Around is FAB-U-LOUS!!!!!!! You all have been asking for NEON glitter polishes so here we go...... Clowning Around is a clear base polish with bright neon colors scattered throughout it! We use only hexes in different sizes in this beauty. We have neon pink, neon orange, neon yellow, neon green, neon blue and neon purple glitters throughout this color combination. This polish looks gorgeous over EVERY COLOR! I get a ton of compliments when I wear this combination!
This polish is definitely packed with neon glitters! I love that one coat covers so well.
I've mentioned it before, but the Lush Lacquer bottles are too cute! Loving their new look!
