Franken I Won From Black Nail Polish & Lip Gloss

This beauty is a franken that I won from Andrea of Black Nail Polish and Lip Gloss. Drop dead gorgeous aqua jelly loaded with pink & turquoise flakies! Andrea doesn't have an exact recipe for this one but she does remember that the flakies are from Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure and Nfu-oh 50 with random pigment for the aqua base. Check out Andrea's cosmetic line, Evil Shades!

BB Couture Dragon's Breath

This is 3 coats of BB Couture Dragon's Breath. Man it's gorgeous! Dragon's Breath is the number one selling purple on Overall Beauty and I can see why. It's a very unique plum jelly with super fine silver glitter. Great formula too. I say this is a must have for any purple lover, maybe any polish lover period!

I won this polish from the lovely Audrey of Le Vernis Chocolat. Audrey sadly just announced that she will be leaving the blogging world for health reasons. Go wish this classy lady a fond farewell if you haven't already done so.

ManGlaze Hot Mess

This is 3 coats of ManGlaze Hot Mess with no top coat. Super cool matte silver! It's supposed to be a topcoat but I think it looks pretty amazing all by itself!

ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly

This is 2 coats of the amazing ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly. I got so many compliments when I wore this one! From guys and girls. Gorgeous gunmetal perfection! This is shown without a topcoat to keep the matte finish. I love it!

China Glaze Strawberry Fields

I don't own many polishes in the red/pink/orange family. I'm just not usually drawn to them. China Glaze Strawberry Fields is a major exception. I truly think this is one of the most gorgeous nail polishes ever! That golden glass-flecked sparkle sets this one above and beyond other pinks.

Zoya Edyta

Zoya Edyta immediately jumped right into my top five favorites! It's a dark pine green loaded with glass-flecked, gold and green shimmer. Super sexy and gorgeous and I only needed ONE, easily applied coat! The formula was superb and a little strange. I felt like I was applying liquid crushed velvet to my nails! The first three pictures were taken in full sunlight and the last two in the shade. This is a must have in my opinion!!!!

Here are my overall thoughts on both of Zoya's fall collections, Wicked & Wonderful.

Zoya Shawn

Zoya Shawn is a drop dead grogeous green creme with slight yellow undertones. Only 2 coats need and an excellent formula. Definitely one of my favorite greens ever! This is from Zoya's Wonderful Collection and you can read my thoughts on the collection here.

Charlotte Russe Jade and Some Nail Art

I LOVE this color! I got tons of compliments on it. Easy application, three coats. This is my current favorite mint green. If any of you are still looking for the perfect mint, please check out this amazing post from Little Music Boxes!

This is the first manicure that I did with the fantastic smART Nails sticker stencils that I've been using lately. Not bad for my first try, but I didn't end up liking the color combo as much as I thought I would. I was going for a sort of art deco look. Maybe a coral would have been better than the berry, but I don't actually have any corals!

Rimmel Steel Grey

This is another polish that I won from R3 Daily. Perfection! I love everything about this polish except for the name. I wouldn't call this Steel Grey! The formula was lovely and I am one of those weirdos who LOVE the wide brushes. I love the bottle shape and the crown on the top of the cap. Only 2 coats needed for a nice finish. I'll be buying more from this line in the future!
R3 Daily and Little Music Boxes have great comparison posts featuring this color!

Toma Purple Mist To Grey Mist & A French Manicure

I've never posted NINE pictures of any polish before, but this one deserves it! Toma Mood Changing Purple Mist to Grey Mist is one of the most unique colors I've ever seen! I have no idea how to describe it so I'll just let you look at the pretty pictures. Gorgeous!






I did a french manicure using China Glaze LOL. I didn't end up liking the color combination as much as I thought I would though
.

I would buy this in a heartbeat if I could find it anywhere!!! What do you think ladies, should we petition Mad Beauty, who took over Toma, to bring this color back?

Toma Forest Green to Teal Mood Changing and Blackboard Nail Art

This is another Toma that I borrowed from my friend Kim Jantz. It's says mood changing on the bottle and it does change with heat but nothing like the recent Claire's polishes. The name really says it all with this one, sometimes it looks forest green and sometimes it looks more teal. It ALWAYS looked drop dead gorgeous though! I can't find anywhere to buy this one online or I would be getting it immediately. If you love green this one is very unique! Most of the time it looked more forest green on me but I tried to capture the more teal side in the next pictures.

Man, looking at these pictures again makes me want to go put it on right now! The color really reminded be of a blackboard from elementary school, so I decided to write some of the alphabet in white "chalk". I used my trusty Migi Nail Art Pen for the letters.

Awesome. Then I tried China Glaze Matte Magic on top and I think it looks even more like a blackboard. I love it when the manicure that you've thought up in your head actually turns out the way you imagined!

I have one more Toma to show you and it's also a real stunner! I'll post it sometime soon. If anyone knows where to get these old Tomas, please let me know! I've tried 3 and they are some of the most gorgeous colors I've ever seen!

Zoya Gaia: My #1 Favorite Nail Polish & Spexton Jewelry That I Won!

I'm sure many of you won't understand why Zoya Gaia is my #1 favorite but I'll try to explain. I took tons of pictures yet I still don't think I managed to truly capture the beauty of Gaia. The first photo was taken early in the day and the rest right at sunset.
Zoya Gaia is a soft white with a drop dead gorgeous gold microshimmer. I used four coats here, which is more than I normally like, but this one is well worth the effort! It's a little sheer, which I don't usually find appealing, but it somehow creates a subtle french manicure look.
It looks great with every outfit! It makes me feel fresh and clean and healthy! If I could only wear one nail polish for the rest of time I would choose Zoya Gaia without a second thought! Don't get me wrong, I love greens and blues and all sorts of crazy nails, but when you ask me to choose a favorite, I think about how wearable my options are, and this wins hands down.

I won this amazing ring from Chic Galleria & Spexton Jewelry! It's my first and only diamond! Here's a link to the ring I chose.
All of Spexton's pieces are made by fellow Tulsans, Greg & Nate and have been worn by many celebrity's! You can see pictures on their Facebook. They are supremely talented and I wish them much future success!!!

I love the suggestions you ladies have been giving for the Point Blank Design Giveaway! Really great ideas! You still have a couple of days to enter if you haven't yet done so!
