Naild'It - Violet B Wild

 
Hello Loves!!!  It's days like these that I am extremely thankful that I'm not showing you a YouTube video!  I am still sick, and I'm sure my voice would scare you :-) haha I want to thank you all for the well wishes though!!! Mr. CC said he was better yesterday, so I can only hope this is a quick thang! If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you saw me with my stack of get better aids of cough drops, medicine, and herbal tea!  I almost never need that stuff, so it's funny to me when I get sick I'm just like "GIVE IT ALL TO ME! NOW!" haha In the store, I'm like "I'll take this, and that, and oh! This will get me better for sure!"  Anyway, thank you for thinking of me!  I have lots to post, but I just need time to sit down and edit it all!  OH! and my Blogiversary is coming up at the end of the month, so I have a few ideas of what I want to do for that...including a giveaway, of course ;-)  You all know I love ya!
Today I have a gorgeous polish by Naild'It that I wanted ever so badly when I saw it on Etsy!  I actually saw it through another polish listing's pictures.  It was on a nail wheel and I instantly fell in love!! I was lucky enough to receive Violet B Wild from a great friend, Deni!!  So a huge thank you to her for sending this my way for Christmas!!!  Look at that bottle!!
 
For this mani, I started with 2 coats of OPI Steady As She Rose.  Then I applied 1 coat of Violet B Wild by Naild'It and topped with Seche Vite.  Violet B Wild has a bit of a purple tint to the base, and has the matte glitters in red, blue, white, and purple!
 


You can shop at a few different places for Naild' It polishes! Naild' It on Etsy, Llarowe, Mei Mei Signatures, and Overall Beauty.  You can also stay up to date with Naild' It on Facebook!!
It's actually on sale at Llarowe for $8 - Violet B Wild!!!   If Overall Beauty is easier for you to purchase, it is available there as well - Violet B Wild.  I don't see it at Mei Mei Signatures, but she has a ton of other gorgeous colors available!!
 
I love it over the lighter base, but I bet this would be pretty over black!! Or any other shades of purple too!
 
 
Close up!!!  Look at those glitters!!  I just love this combo! And you could probably get away as patriotic with the right base (except for the purple, but hey, it's *almost* in the blue family!)
I'm not sure if colds are going around where you are, but stay healthy everyone!! I know almost everyone at my work and a lot of others of friends/family are sick too! So hopefully you are feeling good where you are ;-)
Have a wonderful day!  And hopefully you'll have some fun this weekend!  Isn't it going to be weird not having extra days off next week? haha
Much Love,
Crystal

Hi Everyone!

Hello Everyone!!  I have to apologize, but I am getting sick!  I laid in bed most of the night last night and decided just to give in and stay there!!  Mr. CC started getting it yesterday and almost just as quickly I got it last night :-(  I'm going to try to pump lots of vitamin C though, so I don't get it too bad!!  Hope you all are staying healthy out there!  I am almost never sick, so I guess it's my turn!

Sorry to all those I owe reviews to!! I will have them posted shortly!!  The Holiday's have been crazy, but I hope to get back on track very soon! ;-)

Have a great day!!
Much Love,
Crystal

Laquerlicious - Grape Soda

 
 
Hello Everyone!! Happy New Year!!!!!!!  Sorry I didn't post yesterday!  I spent the day relaxing with Mr. CC!  I am going to miss these shortened work weeks ;-)  Hopefully you guys all enjoyed the time as well!!
 
Today I have a gorgeous Laquerlicious called Grape Soda!
 
 
Unfortunately, Grape Soda is out of stock.  However, you can find many other gorgeous shades at  Laquerlicious - Etsy for $8.50 along with a few Fall and Holiday colors are for sale for $6.50! You can also shop at Laquerlicious - Big Cartel for pretties!
 
 
 
For this mani, I used a base of Steady As She Rose with an accent of Planks A Lot by OPI.  Both are two coats each.  I then applied Grape Soda and topped with Seche Vite.
 
 
You can stay up to date about Laquerlicious by following Michelle on Twitter - @NailChickMich or on Instagram as @CreativeNailChick. You can now find Michelle on Facebook!!!  Make sure to check her out ;-)  She always posts the sale items, so that's how I was able to snag a couple at a great price too!
 
 
Grape Soda applied perfectly and I love the shimmer through it!  The different shades of purple make this a gorgeous top coat for layering over your favorite purple!!  I love how these two looked with it, but I know many other colors would look just as fantastic!
 
 
I love the way the bottle looks in the pic below!! So pretty!
  
 
I love layering!  I forget how much I like these colors, but with the glitter added, they look so good!  Steady As She Rose was one I almost passed by, but I'm so glad I didn't!
 

 
 
Here are a couple close ups!! 
 
 
 
 
Hope you all are able to start the year off right!!  Have a great day!!


Much Love,
Crystal
