Pretty & Polished - Love Always Candy Cain and Forever Young

Hello Everyone!!  I hope you had a great weekend!!  Today I have two glitters from Pretty & Polished!  These are too cute!  Both have hearts in them!

 

First up, we have Love Always Candy Cain, which is a red and white glitter top coat.  This has small red and white glitters, along with medium hexagons in red, large hexagons in red and white, and red and white hearts! It is fun mix!  I decided to use 2 coats of LEX Cosmetics Seashell as a base, with 1 coat of Love Always Candy Cain, and finished with Poshe top coat.  To see Seashell, please check out my previous post - HERE.

 

You can see in the next picture, a bit of the holo in Seashell.  I love the dark grey with the red and white!

 

 

Pretty & Polished has stocked all their Holiday colors, including Love Always Candy Cain. You can also find out more information, upcoming collection information, along with swatches on Pretty & Polished - Facebook and at http://www.prettynpolish.com/. 

 

 

The bigger glitters are heavier and tend to sink a little.  This is easily solved by shaking a little before use and then setting upside for 10 minutes or so.  Carefully, of course, as the bottle can tip.  I recommend using other polishes to secure, or a container in which the bottle can not fall from.  Bringing the glitter to the top will make it easier to get out.  While painting this on, I did close and tip over in order to get the amount of large pieces I wanted per nail.  It may take just a bit longer, but the results are worth it in my opinion!

 

 

 

And here is a close up!!  The hearts will make this a cute polish for Valentine's Day too!

 

Next we have Forever Young, which is by Phoenix, Chelsea's daughter, for the PJ's Polish for Kids line!  I decided to go for a dark base to show off the beautiful glitters, I used 1 coat of Zoya Veruschka.  I then applied one coat of Forever Young and topped with Poshe.

 

 

Forever Young is sold at Pretty & Polished on Etsy.  It looks like Phoenix has her mother's gift!   I think it is awesome that Mother and Daughter can share in this journey of polish creation!

 

 

The glitters in this are so beautiful!  They are bright colors like a rainbow and the hearts are in red, pink, white, and blue!

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this look at two Pretty & Polished colors!!

 

Again, don't forget to check out Pretty & Polished on Etsy!  You can also find out more information, upcoming collection information, along with swatches on Pretty & Polished Facebook and at http://www.prettynpolish.com/.

Have a great day!!

ManGlaze Gives LEX Cosmetics Some Tips!

 

 

Hello Everyone!!!!  I have another LEX Cosmetics polish to show you!!! This is Seashell!  It is a gorgeous charcoal grey with holographic glitters!  When not in the sun, it still gives a beautiful 3-D look!  It kept grabbing my attention all day!

 

Head to http://lexcosmetics.com/shop.php to buy.  Polishes are $10.   LEX Cosmetics donates a percentage to a charity and each color has a story that has been created by a fan.  This is  "Created by Sarah, this color mimics the inside of a seashell, an iridescent/oil spill that not only captures the beauty of the seashell, but also the beauty of nature in general. It shows nature and it's beauty."  I think that is so awesome!!  I used 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat.

 

I apologize the last promotion ended before some of you could order :-(  LEX Cosmetics said to stay tuned, so make sure to check them out on Facebook!  Follow them to stay up to date!

 

 

So as I have been enjoying doing lately, I added some tips!  But these aren't just any old tips...these are ManGlaze Matte tips!! Using Matte is Murder. LOVE how this turned out.  You can purchase ManGlaze in a few places - http://manglaze.myshopify.com/, Amazon, and Facebook. 

 

Lots of pics...enjoy the holo, matte, and shiny!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doesn't it still look awesome in the shade?! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this look at ManGlaze and LEX Cosmetics!!!

 

Hope you have a great day!

LEX Cosmetics - Tuilleries

 

Hello Everyone!! Happy Friday!!  Today I have my first LEX Nail Lacquer to show you!! I'm so excited!  Tuilleries (shown on site as Tuileries, but bottle says Tuilleries) has been on my list for quite some time.  I actually found out there was a coupon code from some girl friends of mine (THANK YOU!).  Guess what!?  The code is still available, so you can get this fantastic deal as well!!   

 

Head to http://lexcosmetics.com/shop.php to pick out your favorites.  I chose Tuilleries and Seashell.  Enter the very special code from LEX Cosmetics, FALLNAILS2012.  With this code, you will get 50% your order of 2 or more polishes!  Polishes are $10 regularly.  LEX Cosmetics also donates a percentage to a charity and each color has a story.  I think that is so awesome!!

Tuilleries is a gorgeous pink with tiny silver, red, and orange sparkles, along with silver, red, pink,  and orange hexagons.  This is 2 coats with Wicked Fast top coat.  Here are lots of pics!! ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And these bottles are awesome!  I just LOVE the caps!  They are squares too, which all around makes this bottle pretty unique in my collection!! So cute!

 

 

 

 

Hope you all have a great weekend!! Make sure you grab some LEX Cosmetics!  I was thoroughly impressed!  This polish applied like a dream!
