Randomly Picked Colors

Hey lovelies!

Have you tried picking your nail colors randomly? I tried it yesterday and it's quite a challenge coming up with a mani that would make the colors work. So I used the RandomNumbers app on my iPhone to pick three colors.

The colors were:

Left to right: Permission To Proceed, Pinky Glitters, & Mint Candy

And then I came up with this:

But I needed the help of white polish for the stamping and accent nail. Actually it's fun picking random colors, it's a creativity challenge. If you have tried this idea before share it, I would love to hear from you.

Until next time lovely readers.

Stamping OK! Tips Tacky :(

Hello ladies!

Yayy it's Friday but same old same old for me, still a laid back day. How's your Friday so far? I've been stressed these last few days, I don't know what happen to my sleeping routine the other day I fell asleep at 4:00 am woke up at 7:00 am exhausted and I still want to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I just want to sleep at normal hours gosh! But anyway it'll probably be back to normal I hope. Moving on, I did this mani yesterday and it didn't turn out as I expected and I feel sad about it. I was actually thinking not to post this, but don't have anything to post so I give it a go. I did stamping and french tips and I wished I haven't added the tips it made my mani looks tacky.

I used:

Base Color - Plenty of Fish In The Sea by Spoiled
Stamp Color - Retro Green by Kleancolor
Free Hand French Tips - Pastel Yellow by Kleancolor
Stamp Design - MASH Plate #21

I still need more practice with the stamping, sometimes it looks crooked after transferring. Have a great weekend guys and see you next time.

Monday Layering

Hello ladies!

Finally I'm in the mood to do my nails today, I guess I need to pinch myself every time I feel lazy doing it lol. So lately I've been busy with giveaways! Yeah you heard me giveaways baby. I'm addicted to it, in fact I won for the first time a giveaway by The Painted Pony, if you haven't followed her better check her blog out. I won a full size Lush Lacquer Polish of my choice and I chose "Snow Globe".

So I cannot wait for it to arrive. Well moving on, my mani for today is all about layering. Since I have this glitter polish that I only used one time and I kind of have a mixed feeling about it, I was not quite impressed when I wore it for the first time, and I'm talking about OPI Save Me from Nicki Minaj collection and now I realize why. I will tell you about it as I go along.

I used:

Base Color - Fly by OPI

1st Layer - Paying With Platinum by Spoiled

2nd Layer - Save Me by OPI

Top Coat - Seche Vite

1 thick coat of Fly by OPI no top coat

Fly layered with 1 coat of Paying With Platinum no top coat

final layer 1 thick coat of Save Me

Save Me is a beautiful glitter polish with a clear base composed of silver micro-glitters, teal and holo bars/strings glitter. At first I didn't liked it at all, but now I know why, this is one of those glitter polish out there that you need to have a specific base color in order for you to appreciate its beauty or better yet wear it alone. So now I'm loving it, just need to have a perfect base for it. So that's it for me today guys, til next time.

NOTD: Lucky Clouds

Hey lovelies!

How are you guys doing today? I'm so glad I finally pushed myself to do my nails, I'm just so addicted to games lately -____- sigh! they surely are. Before I came up with my mani today I thought of what colors to choose first and to my surprise I never thought it would turn out what I didn't expect it to be.

I called it lucky clouds because it turned out like a St. Patrick's nail art theme, and this is actually my first attempt of clouds design. This is also one of the trendy nail art out there and the first free hand cloud design I came across with was nailside's and her clouds are perfect. So let me show my first free hand cloud design.

I used:

Base Color - Permission To Proceed by Spoiled

Accent Nail Base Color - Metallic 4 Life by OPI over Correction Tape by Spoiled

Clouds - Did It On Em by OPI, Correction Tape by Spoiled and Permission To Proceed by Spoiled

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Let me know your thoughts with my nails today guys, I would love to hear it. 'Til next time guys.

Dark & Bold

Hello lovelies!

I've been pushing myself to be fit and I'm really glad that I am starting to really take this seriously been starting doing exercise lately and my legs are sore all over, well I guess it's true they say "no pain no gain".

So my mani for today is my third attempt of water marbling, gosh I've been trying to really do good with water marbling but it seems that I can only do a little bit good. I took a bold choice of colors it's dark and vampy and I like how it makes my hands look lighter.

I used:

Spoiled - I Tripped On The Red Carpet
Kleancolor - Retro Green

The design on my left hand looks better than my right hand

What do you think guys? Did I nailed it ^____^? Or do it look tacky? Let me know, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Fishtail Braids Attempt

Hey guys!

I haven't been so productive with my posts lately, our internet service have been acting up and it just gets on my nerves. So it has been a movie time almost everyday. So what I have for today is my first attempt of fishtail braids that is so trendy nowadays.

I used:

Base Color - Kleancolor Metallic Pink
Braids - OPI Pink Friday
              Kleancolor Metallic Pink
              Spoiled Correction Tape

It's a little bit decent, the lines are not straight at all did it with free hand. So I'm a little bit happy about it.

Girls off topic, I have to share this movie that we've seen the other day. If you're husband and boyfriend haven't seen this movie yet, I recommend that you should mention this to them. This is so far the best action packed movie I've seen in years it's an Indonesian action martial arts movie called "The Raid" the American title is The Raid: Redemption. I'm sure they're going to love this movie and if you're into brutal action movies as well, this movie is for you.

Until next time lovelies :)

Stamping + Dots + Tips

Hello guys!

Yesterday I told my husband about the upcoming James Bond Collection from OPI and I showed him the 12 luxurious shades including the Limited Edition 18k gold leaf top coat from OPI as well, it is called The Man with the Golden Gun and I couldn't wait 'til October comes because he's going to get the whole collection including the gold top coat for me, since he's a big fan of James Bond, he's going to get himself the Golden Anniversary James Bond Movie Box set as well. So it's like we will both celebrate the James Bond 50th Anniversary together. So anyway guys, I just thought it would be nice to share to you how excited I am for October.

So moving on, today I made my 2nd stamping attempt and I have to say I did pretty well since my first attempt, there's quite a big improvement and I actually love it. 

I used:

Base Color - Spoiled Jail Bait
Stamp - Spoiled Correction Tape
Tips & Dots - Spoiled Plenty of Fish In The Sea

I feel happy about this mani, I love how the colors look bright together. What do you think of my 2nd attempt guys? Yay or nay? 

NOTD: Dots The Way It Is

I am really anxious for my package to come, I thought I'm going to have on my mail today but I guess I'll have to wait next week. About the package they are MASH Stamping Plates, Stamper and Scraper and Dotting Tools so that's why I'm really excited. So I just decided to do my nails. I have to say I don't like it that much, I don't know maybe because I put too much colors for the dots and excuse the smudges, the metallic polish tend to smudge easily.

I used:

Base Color - Spoiled Correction Tape

Dots - Spoiled I Tripped On The Red Carpet

           Spoiled Plenty Of Fish In The Sea

           Spoiled Permission To Proceed

           Kleancolor Metallic Mango

I hate the smudges it makes the mani looks tacky huhu! Even though it's a bit of a fail, I still wanted to share this with you guys.

Spoiled by Wet n Wild Swatches

As I mentioned on my post yesterday I will be making swatches of my latest haul. So let me show you the swatches I've done today.

1. Paying With Platinum - a sheer duo-chrome polish, the color is like a foil gun metal gray with purple and green flashes. I love the formula it glides smoothly into your nails during application. I applied 3 coats for this one since it is sheer. The first coat appears to be a sheer silver with a hint of purple sheen and I notice just a tad bit of streaks, so not really a big of a deal. I totally love this polish.

2. Plenty Of Fish In The Sea - a vibrant blue shimmer with a glowing teal sheen. Once again the formula is very nice it applies smoothly with little streaks which is usual to shimmer polishes. This is my second favorite from the bunch. I applied two coats for this one.

3. Permission To Proceed - is a green jelly polish which I though at first is creme. Now I even more love the formula of this one. I applied 2 coats.

4. Jail Bait - a neon orange jelly polish which I really love. I applied 2 coats.

5. I Tripped On The Red Carpet - a smooth red polish with a little bit of pink shimmer. This is my favorite out of the bunch with a cool name. I thought the color is sexy and elegant. The formula is very good. I applied 2 coats.

So these are my swatches for Spoiled Nail Polish, I didn't bother to make a swatch for the Correction Tape since it's just a plain creme white polish anyway. Guys, I definitely recommend these colors and this brand. The formula is very good, I read some reviews about this brand regarding the brushes they seem to have a problem with it, but I don't. For the price wise, it's economically cheap which is really surprising of how good this brand is. So let me know what you think about the swatches and which of the colors you would like to have. 

Until next time lovelies ^_^
