Quick Half Fail Mani

Hello lovelies,

No, it's not half moon.  it's half fail.  I tried to do this mani using tape...but the tape I used apparently is used to stick air to nothing.  So it didn't work on two fingers.  But I free handed three fingers and they turned out sahweet.  So let's pretend I've been maimed in a horrible accident and I only have three fingers.

Also, I have a flash now!  These pictures were taken with my iPhone 4s and I am very much pleased with the turnout :) And, if you looked at yesterday's post of Ilf swatches, this mani has that color as a base so with the flash you can see the hardcore shimmer!  SO MANY PERKS.

I used Sinful Colors' Hazard, which is a nice matte teal.  Super cheap, super cute.

This was just a teeny tiny post of my mani before I bust out some crazy color tomorrow...be excited.

Revlon's Bewitching

Hey guys!

I've got another great polish for you guys today!  This is the one I wore under Benedict :)

Bewitching is a gorgeous berry shade, it's absolutely perfect for fall!  I got it in a huge Kmart closing out sale, for just $2.99 Ironic, the only Revlon polishes left were all in the red family...I guess people just aren't feeling red this season?  Who knows.  I definitely am!  Here's a bottle shot below~

Lyn B Designs' Benedict!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of weekend posts, time got away from me!

But today I have a gorgeous polish to show you guys sent from Jenna at Lyn B Designs!  This polish is called Benedict~

Here's some bottle shots, but here's the thing.  I live in Oregon and our natural light is pretty much gone, so I'm now going to be taking pictures under a light with more of a blue tone.  I've experimented with different ones and this is the lighting I find matches the color most truly.

China Glaze's Peachy Keen!

Hi everyone!

Did anybody guess the color from my twitter?  It's China Glaze's Peachy Keen!  It's from an older collection called Up And Away which coincidentally I am now obsessed with.  I purchased this polish, Lemon Fizz, Light As Air, and Four Leaf Clover and honestly I plan to purchase the whole collection.  The bright yellow from the collection is next on my list, but unfortunately I am not on the polish market for a while!  But, good news is I have a few different Indie polish brands sending me some goodies to swatch and review for you guys!  One of them is even a sneak peek at an upcoming collection, get excited!

So Peachy Keen, here's the bottle shots!

China Glaze Man Hunt!

Hi guys!

Happy middle of the week!  If you follow me on twitter then you know that I skipped yesterday's posting because I forgot to take Sunday off!  Trying to get onto a good schedule, but my life is crazy right now.  I'm moving into the dorm on Saturday and it's just quite stressful!

But today I have an absolutely gorgeous polish for you guys!  I'm pretty sure this one would be qualified as a jelly, it's Man Hunt by China Glaze.  It's from their On Safari collection, and it's to die for gorgeous.

I only have a shade bottle shot for you today because let's be honest, I'm a hot mess right now.

It's Agro!

Hi guys!

Today I have a mani post for you guys!  It's been a while!  Also, I have some news, I recently set up a twitter for pictures && polish!  You can follow me, @picturesnpolish and I'll be putting up things like "would you guys like to see this or that?" or just fun stuff.  I'd love to see you guys on there and be able to have a conversation :)

So I'm calling this mani "It's Agro!" because I used my old swatch-mani of Agro and made it a new look with the help of It's Alive also by China Glaze.

The only thing that is disappointing is that the glitter is so like the base color that it's hard to photograph and see!  But it's nice because It's Alive could definitely use some undies in general so this color, Agro, is absolutely perfect for it.

I'll probably do a full swatch/review of It's Alive when it gets closer to Halloween.  For now I have so many new polishes that I've bought and still haven't tried, I think literally 8!  I've got another Kardashian one, another Hunger Games one, two polishes from the China Glaze Up and Away collection and others!

Lots of fun stuff coming up!
