Girl on Fire mani

 "Girl on Fire" Mani

I saw a preview of the DriKK  plate B some time ago, and have been dying to finally get it so I could use the flame stamp. While I love doing nail art and am not so bad at freehand flames, the idea of having a gorgeous flame like this at my disposal....well, it excited me! So our shipment of plates came in yesterday, however i couldn't play with it because I had a bunch of pre-orders that I promised would go immediately out! So I spent last night packing them up. Tonight was my night to play!!!

So, here is my first mani in honor of 'The Girl on Fire'....

Used:

Duri Rejuvacote (base coat)

DRK-B Flames stamp
Model's Own Copper Pot
(from new Beetle Juice collection)
Glitter Gals Shade Shifters Brilliant colors sponged 

Fiery Furnace Glow Brilliant

Red Night Sky Brilliant

Last Light Brilliant 

Seche Vite (top coat)... details on how I did it below!

Fish Egg Mani (Caviar Mani)

Fish Eggs Mani

(aka Caviar Mani)

This is something I thought about doing on my nails moths ago, even bought the little ball glitters. Then when I saw some posts I got excited cause someone else thought of it too! Apparently this has been around for sometime, I was just living in a cave, lol. I also understand there is some controversy because some company is trying to trademark the term Caviar Mani so that those that have been calling it that can no longer do so...hmmm.

I don't know all about that, but here is my fish egg mani ;) This is a single coat of Glitter Gal Red Sparkle with some black caviar on my accent finger! I hope you enjoy! You can soon get Glitter Gal Red Sparkle at NinjaPolish.com :)

Teaser pic!! What could it be? - Chanel Peridot vs Jessica Iridescent

So I have been a busy little bee and haven't had time to do full blog posts as often as I would like but I hope to do some more soon!! I just wanted to tease you with a pic for an upcoming comparison post!!

Yes.....these ARE two different polishes....and yes. one of them IS Chanel Peridot...and yes, they are THIS exact to each other in person!!! Can you guess what the other one is? :)

Updated:
This is Jessica Iridescent and I'm telling you, it is an EXACT dupe of Chanel Peridot. I wore them both on various fingers to work and around the house. There is no difference. It is like they were all out of the same batch and bottled in separate bottles.

Jessica Iridescent is available on my new polish site www.NinjaPolish.com for a mere $6! Compare that to Chanel's $25 price tag. It is part of the Peacock Queen collection which also contains a Chanel Graphite dupe (Smoky Feather) and a Chanel Quartz dupe (Bronze Tailed). I have Graphite so I also did a compare and it is exact as well. So I can only assume Bronze Tailed is an exact dupe to Quartz, which I don't own.

These are all limited edition so get them while you can. We are currently sold out of Iridescent and Smokey Feather however at this point we can and are getting more inventory. Sign up for Email Notifications to be notified when more stock arrives :)

Spring 2012 collection

As promised, here are the swatches of the new collection! After swatching I realized that Pop Rock Pink is a shimmery Jelly with micro flakies!! I love love love it! 

The cremes went on a little think, I think I need more practice or need to thin them a little. After two coats and a coat of Seche Vite, they come out nice :)

So after the mail came and went today I was a little sad, then a different mail carrier comes later and brings me my box of joy!!! So see the pretty boxes below and know these will be on their way to you all on Monday!

I'm about ready to place Group buy #4!!! Cheaper and faster now woo hoo! I'll keep doing these group buys as long as you all want me to! See the Group buy page above for details :)

Sneak Peek: BeYu 209 Brilliant Shiraz

So sorry everyone, I have been swamped with so many various things I haven't blogged in too long!!!

So earlier today I had a pretty exhausting meeting at work, came back to my desk and what do I see? A little envelope from my girlfriend in Spain, Ruth! <3 She sent me a surprise bottle of BeYu 209  Brilliant Shiraz ! I have been after this one since I discovered it also was rumored to be a Clarins 230 dupe!

So that surprise along with the news that Nail Polish Canada linked to my blog for all of their customers to see China Glaze Magnetix swatches, well....my day is turning around ;)

So here is just a quick bottle shot with my cell phone. More to come soon. I will be doing a 3-way comparison with Clarins 230, Max Factor Fantasy Fire and BeYu 209 Brilliant Shiraz  soon as well as giving BeYu 209 it's own blog post that it deserves. For now you can view my current comparison post with just Clarins 230 and Max Factor Fantasy Fire here.

Stay tuned!!

Psssst....yes, this is the 'good' version.... INCI 31 :)

Giveaway! Max Factor Fantasy Fire (Clarins 230 Dupe!)

1,500 Polish Milestone giveaway!

Max Factor Fantasy Fire

(Clarins 230/Unicorn Pee Dupe)

Ok, hold onto your hats ladies, I'm having my first giveaway!!! I have been wanting to do one of these for awhile now. I'm not really celebrating a milestone in followers but a milestone in polishes! This week I tipped the scales over 1,500 polishes in my collection :) It was an amazing and proud moment for me and I have to thank Stephanie for starting me into the maddness :) So that is what I will use as my reason to hold a giveaway, when really all I want to do is give someone a bottle of the most amazing new polish to hit the market! Of course we all know about Clarins 230 (aka Unicorn Pee) and how expensive and elusive it is. Well Max Factor picked up on this and has come out with a small (8ml) bottle of an almost exact dupe. When you wear it over black you can barely tell a difference between it and Clarins. Anyway, you can view my whole comparison post here. Let's get to the good stuff.....

Below is my first Raffle Copter giveaway, I hope I have it all filled out right! You have the opportunity for 10 entries total! Please spread the word! This opens 1-27-12 at midnight and ends 3-10-12 at 12:01AM so get your entries in by the 9th to be safe!! :) And yes...I do ship internationally! ;) <3

Max Factor Fantasy Fire Swatches

Max Factor 

"Fantasy Fire"

Multichrome

I spoke to this polish more indepth in my comparison to Clarins 230.  You can view that comparison blog by clicking here.

To sum it up, Max Faxtor Fantasy Fire makes a great dupe for Clarins 230. They are not exact, but close enough to satisfy anyone lemming it.

This is only currently available in the United Kingdom, get it while you can. We are unsure if it is Limited Edition or not so I suggest just not waiting.

These pictures are a single coat of Fantasy Fire over a single coat of black creme. Topped off with Seche Vite.
