Sinderella's Slipper

The other day Pan showed you Welcome to the Ball from Gothic Gala Lacquers and today we want to show you Sinderella's Slipper.  We wanted to do this as a dual post from both of us so that we could both show you this amazing and beautiful glitter topper. The site describes it as: " glitter topper with red holo and red holo hearts, black hex glitter and black hearts as well as copper glitter. ". It is so amazing!!

Panacea and I pretty much feel the same way about this polish. It is seriously so amazing!! I am totally in love with it. It also reminded me of the red queen from Alice in Wonderland.

It goes on very nicely! I was getting a decent amount of each glitter on each stroke. At first I didn't get any hearts when I did the first coat on the fake nail, but the second coat it pulled hearts and they even lined up perfectly. I didn't move them at all! lol

First coat on fake nail.

Second coat on fake nail. I didn't move the hearts at all, they lined up like this on their own! lol

I kinda waited till it was real late to do the swatch on the fake nail, so I didn't get time to do my own nails. The reason I wanted to do it on a fake nail too was because its long. My nails are short right now. So the next day I did my own. I wanted to do something where it showed the polish on different colors, so I just did a whole mani with different colors and I loved all of them! I used Ebony Hates Chris by Wet N Wild for the black, then used Kate by Julep for the white, lastly for the red, I used Taking The Red Eye by Wet n Wild Megalast. All three colors matched the glitter and looked great together with Sinderella's Slipper. As Panacea mentioned below, there is even a hint of copper in it, which is different, but I love it!

These were taken inside with my light.

I had a heart on one of my nails that kept hooking on everything, but if you put enough top coat on it, you can usually get that to not be a problem. I noticed that Pan also mentioned about the hearts not laying flat, I too am also cool with that because this polish is so awesome!  lol

Please ignore my dry skin and bad cuticles.

It sparkles so pretty too, I really should have taken a video of it and posted it in here also. I hate how most glitters you have to dig around for a variety of glitters to be equally spread, not with this one at all. It went on very evenly. The hearts were a lil sparse, but thats not an issue for me, makes it unique to each nail. The bottles are really cute and really nice too. Made it easier for me to put it on.

For those of you who haven't heard of this brand yet, its probably because she's fairly new! She just launched her new line in August. She has a bunch already planned too and they're very pretty!! Gothic Gala Lacquer is the name, run by Samantha. She's very nice too! I can't wait to try more of her polishes!

Hope you enjoyed my portion of this dual post! Here is Panacea's portion now! xoLeah

I don't even really know how to begin how to tell you all how much I LOVE this nail polish. It was such a fun polish. It is perfect for Halloween, it would also be really great for Valentines day! It reminded me of the Queen from Alice in Wonderland. Its not news to anyone that I love hearts. It made me happy to see them. I know they don't generally lay flat but I dun even care lolol. I love heart glitter. I seriously loved this polish so hard. I took the polish off my toes and repainted them red so I could wear this glitter on top! Since it's still warm I am wearing flip flops out and about and I see people checkin my toes out. Holler. I know its because of the polish cuz I have been wearing flip flops all summer and have never seen so many people check my feet out!

It is super versatile. It wasn't even really that hard to get off.. Here is a picture of the glitter by itself with two coats and one coat of topcoat.

Here it is with colors that match the colors of the glitter in the polish. I used Zoya Gia, Wet n Wild black crémé, and Wet n Wild blank canvas. I like how it looks with these colors.

 I wanted to show you with other versatile colors. Some I think would be great for Halloween and Valentines Day. When I showed my friend Morgan the brown she was like brown for Valentines Day? Yea! It kind of looks like chocolate hearts. I dunno. I think it looks really nice. I also really love it over the orange. I really loved this set of colors with the glitter!

 This one is super blurry but you can really see the sparkle!

Thanks so much for checking out our post, sorry it was so long, but since we had both gotten it to review, we decided we would do it together! Have a great week everyone! xoLeah & Pan

True Blood

I know its not Tuesday, but OMG OMG OMG!!! TRUE BLOOD IS BACK TOMORROW!!! I am so excited! This is probably my favorite show, this or Shameless. It might be a tie. lol

I wanted to do a mani for the premiere. I had lots of fun doing it and I even did both hands! haha Usually when I do something more than just a simple paint job I only do one hand like that. I loved it so much though that I just had to do it on both hands.

Is anyone else going to be watching the premiere tomorrow? For anyone interested, it starts at 9 on HBO. I don't recommend watching it though if you haven't watched before. You need to watch it all to understand a lot of whats going on. Here is the trailer for season 6.

For my mani, I used the black and white Art Club nail art duo pens in black and white for the writing and fangs. For the blood I used Devious from the new Sinful Shine line. For my ring finger I used the Julep Matte top coat. The red on my pointer and pinky is Taking The Red-Eye by Wet n Wild Megalast. The black is Wet n Wild Fast Dry in Ebony Hates Chris.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and has a great week! xoLeah

Moms nails!

A few weeks ago my mom came over to hang out with me and my kids cuz she hadn't seen us in awhile. While she was here I was like "Mom! Let me paint your nails!!" They were so long and mine have been stubby for awhile. She had acrylics put on awhile ago, but they eventually, after lots of fills, became her own nails under the acrylic.

We sat down and she picked out some colors that she liked and started to paint her nails with the base color we wanted to use. I was like mom, I am supposed to be the one painting your nails... lol But I ended up just letting her finish that part. We used Wet n Wild Megalast in Candy-Licious.

After we did that, she really wanted to use Color Club's Wing Fling from the Take Wing collection. I don't blame her, its my favorite from the collection! Side note... If you have a Meijer department store near you, they have the Take Wing collection, also the Halo Hues collection on sale right now!!! Scoop them up!!

On her accent nail, we did the slant with Color Club Harp On It. Also for the lil dots! The white on the nails is Diamond Cosmetics White Nail Art. I used a dotting tool to apply it though because I had just gotten them and wanted to try them! haha

I wish she still had her nails on though, they were so fun to play with. I bought some fake nails to play around with, but I need to find a way to display them when I do some funky stuff on them. They were only a dollar for a pack of like 20 at Dollar General! So I was like why not!

I am really trying to get my nails long right now. I was just introduced to some stuff called Duri Rejuvacote. I have seen before and after pics from the people who recommended it and I am so excited for it!! I have some and been using it, but my nails were already getting really long, but since the stuff didnt really have time to work on them that much they did start to break and one hand is way shorter than the other, so I think I am going to file them down and start over and see how it goes. Here is a pic of what my nails on my left hand look like. I need to get rid of the stains, but otherwise they are looking awesome. They're just SOOOO thin and they chip off easily. So I am really hoping this stuff works wonders for me!! My fingers look terrible, don't mind them. lol

Hope you guys enjoyed my post! Have a great week! xoLeah

Hoppy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

I know Easter is tomorrow, but I am doing my post today!

Today me and my kids and my sister in law and my nephew all went to SVSU (Saginaw Valley State University) for the Easter egg helicopter drop that a local church had there! They had bounce houses, a guy making balloon animals, free drinks, and they sectioned off 3 different areas, filled them with plastic eggs, and then had a helicopter fly above them and drop more, it was pretty awesome. Well it was awesome besides the fact that the helicopter blew everything around and made it super cold and was very loud. I don't think I would have taken Elijah (my 1 year old) if I would have been there before to see what it was like. He cried the entire time the helicopter was above dropping eggs because it was so loud and cold. Zeke loved it, but was scared and hid behind me and watched. lol Then when we were done with that my sister in law said that if we hurried we could make it to the court house's egg hunt. So we went to that also, and we got to see the Easter bunny and the Easter statues that they have every year. Finished off with McDonalds and playin in the playplace for lunch. We had a great day!

I had fun doing this mani even though it turned out a lil sloppy. I got to use some new polishes, and try some things out with my nail art duos. I barely use them, and I wanna start using them more. However, when I did this mani, I broke the white and need to get a new one.

Started out by doing 2 coats of each Wet N Wild Megalast, also the Sinful Colors. Then I did 1 coat of the Color Club holo on my accent nail for the sky. I used the Art Club white pen part of it to paint the dots and zig zags. Then I used the Color Club yellow for the chick. Just did a round tipped triangle shape and finished it off with a beak with the LA Colors and eyes with the Art Club black. I had lots of fun doing this mani because like I said, I rarely do nail art and I have been really wanting to!

 

Colors/brands used:

Also, thought I would share some pics from our adventures today! Hope everyone has a fantastic Easter and that you all enjoy your time with your families! My hubby had to work, but I get to be with other family and of course my favorite lil men!

You can kinda see the eggs dropping!

Zeke was hiding behind me, but still loved the Helicopter! This is his "WOW, AWESOME!" face. lol
