Banana Egg!

White? Check! Glitter? Check! Franken? Check! Awesome formula? YES!!! My friend Abby came up with this amazing blend and I knew I must have it!  I think my favorite part is the tiny little black squares in it!!  There are blue and gold hexagon glitters throughout with pink and black squares!  Then of coures you see the mirco glitter which is the same pink, gold, and blue!  The first group of pictures (including above) are of 2 coats and Wicked Fast Top Coat.  It dried great between coats and the glitter applied evenly!  Such a gorgeous polish!!

Here I wore it again, but I did 3 coats for you to see how it compares.  This completely covers any visable nail line.  2 coats is prety opaque but you still have that slight transparent feel because it is milky/jelly like!  My absolute favorite part is that you can see the layers of this polish - makes it SO interesting!!!

Candeo Colors Orchid

Hi all!  Hope everyone is doing great!!  I'm ready for some summer weather to come back!  We got spoiled for a few weeks, so now I suppose we're making up for it!  We've been rainy for the past few days!  Very grey out!  It also just mists - not raining hard, but enough to moisten your face!  So weird! lol

Today I have Orchid to share with you from Candeo Colors!  I was lucky enough to get a few at Melinda's last opening of her shop on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/CandeoColors. She also updates her Facebook with opens and pictures of colors, HERE.

I listed this last blog post, but again, here is a little more about Candeo and a description of Orchid:

Candeo - A latin word meaning to shine, glow or sparkle. Welcome to Candeo Colors! All polishes are hand mixed by me using existing colors, lacquer base and a myriad of loose glitters and pigments. I love all colors but I'm really drawn to jewel tones and holographic glitters. I take pride in my work and want you to love every color. I do not skimp on the glitter so you definitely get your money's worth. Check back often since this is a new venture and I will be adding colors frequently. PS- The chameleon was added to our logo because of their ability to change their naturally bright colors. Plus they are just plain awesome! 

Orchid has a shimmery fuchsia base and is loaded with small copper, light purple. magenta and large silver holographic hex glitter. 

Oh was this difficult to photograph! The base is a jelly, so the glitter reflects through it! It also is opaque in 2 coats, but for some reason, the pictures kinda make it look like it isn't :-(  I guess while taking them they looked worse than they turned out on my computer, but still.  *My disclaimer* - my pictures don't do this polish justice!!!! lol ;-)  I absolutely love it!

Grey Skies!

 Candeo sells for $8 a bottle, plus shipping!  I think her shop sells very quickly as many are becoming aware of her awesome colors!  Keep an eye on her Facebook for upcoming openings!!

Much Love,

Nail-Venturous Flying Blue Jay

Hi All!!!! I never should have asked for a calmer week...it actually made for a manic Monday instead!  Hopefully today will be better! ;-) (or should I not say that lol...*erases from memory*)

Anyhoo...look at the AMAZING blooo!!!  I just LOVED this from the moment I saw it on Amy's Facebook!  You can find that, HERE!  She posts information for her shop openings on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Nailventurous).  She currently has her shop on vacation mode, but you can be notified when she returns.  She is taking a break from selling for around the next month or so.

Flying Blue Jay is a gorgeous bright blue jelly with neon light blue, almost teal micro glitter mixed through along white hexagons in large, medium, and small.  For the pictures, I only needed 2 coats!  I used 1 coat of OPI TC and 1 coat of Seche Vite.

I think this is pretty color accurate ;-)

 

I received so many compliments wearing this! It just stands out so well!!  And I mean look at this, Amy just does a fantastic job!  It's amazing to me!  I am a sucker for blues, but this one is definitely special in my collection!  If you don't know it, I do have a secret love affair with whites lately...white bases, white glitters, pretty much all of it.  Don't worry, Mr. CC knows about it... ;-) LOL

I hope your day isn't BLOO, but absolutely wonderful!!

Much Love,

Crystal
