RAWR Shop- Holo Gradient

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Today we're taking a break from our regular programming to present to you- FUN FRIDAY!

(it starts with F...so it works....right?)

I'm sure you already know whose hands these are. The one and only- Call It Beauty!

Every time she comes over, we always end up spending hours on end on her nails...but today was a quick one.

We used Color Club- Fashion Addict: a lilac holographic polish, and a rich purple Sinful Colors- Let's Talk.

But of course, you cannot wear holo on your nails and NOT play in the sun!

So while shouting off the top of our lungs to Spice Girls this happened:

Never a dull moment with Dani @ Call It Beauty! I'm so glad I have a friend I can be silly with <3

Here a final shot of the mani. Enjoy.

See something familiar?

Yup, that's me, with my Fierce Friday Nails holding a pair of fake TOMS.
Thanks to CTV's Steele On Your Side, I got my money back!!

I won't get too much into the details, but if you want more info...check out the full story: here

hehe, it got some attention :)

Anyway...enjoy the weekend!
Hope there's sunshine wherever you are :D

RAWR Shop- Ultimate Star Wars Nails

Hi guys!!

Today I am very excited to show you the mani I did at The RAWR Shop

This is Donna's second visit. We wanted to do something completely crazy this time...

She mentioned that she is currently into Star Wars: The Old Republic, so I thought....Let's do Star Wars nails!!

...now...

My knowledge of Star Wars goes as far as lightsabers and R2D2....

So I studied hard, and with the help of expert Donna, we achieved this awesome-tastic mani!

Basically, this is split into two empires....

The Imperials (bad guys) and Republic (good guys)

"But Winnie...who is who?!" You ask. Fear not, my loves! Read on!!

The Imperials include: Droids, Siths,Storm Troopers...

Republics: Wookies, Jedi's, R2D2

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Donna has the cutest nails.

Putting this much detail on a tiny nail was not easy...but MAN! Do they ever look good.

Here are some of my personal favourites....

That's it for me today!!

Hope you enjoyed this Star Wars mani :)

Thanks for letting me put these on you, Donna!! Come back soon!!!

Have a great day, lovelies!!

All Wrapped Up

Happy hump day, lovely people of the world!!

Today I have a summer mani for you.

For this mani, I used the following:

China Glaze- For Audrey

NYC- Peaches N' Cream

First, I wrapped the For Audrey filled claws with Peaches N' Cream

NYC polishes come with great brushes, they're perfect for drawing blunt lines like this!

This distinctive peachy creme colour is packed with sophisticated fun!

It is the perfect colour for summer, in my opinion.

I've been having a heck of a time trying to draw thinner lines...then it dawned on me that maybe I should trim down my brush....gee it only took me forever to figure this out....

-___-

You can see the difference immediately between the two brushes!

Now I just have to work on drawing cleaner, and straighter lines.....YAY!!!!

Hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I did doing it!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTD Color Club- Fashion Addict

0_o ....okay....

I need a moment to soak in the prettiness.

HELLO MY LOVES!! Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Today I have a swatch for you. This is my first ever holo polish, and I'm trying really hard to remain calm about this....because LOOK HOW PRETTY!!!!!

This is Color Club's Fashion Addict.

My apologies in advance for the photo bombs. Because I just can't get enough of this polish.

I couldn't wait til I get home, so I slapped it on my thumb in the car ride home.

Needless to say, I squealed like a little girl....and BF just shook his head repeatedly.

Fashion Addict is a lilac holo. It has a really smooth formula, application of this polish was a breeze.

For this to become completely opaque, I used two coats and sealed it off with my Jordana top coat.

The thing about holographic polishes....they look just mesmerizing under sunlight.

How. What. GUH!

And under regular lighting, it has a subtle shimmer...though when you look closely, the holo micro flecks are still fabulously shinning through.

I think I spent all day yesterday staring at my nails...I mean....LOOK AT THEM!! How can you not?!

That's all for me today...

I'm off to stare at my hands some MOAR!!

Enjoy your day, lovelies!

Fierce Friday- Pyramid

Hello my beloved peoples!!

Welcome to another Fierce Friday post!!! Could it be? It's going to be a weekly thing...

Now whether I can whip up something FURRS on a weekly basis, we'll have to see...no promises :P

You know,

I love me a good busy-all over the place mani. But sometimes, less is more, no?

I think these lines are again, simplicity at its best.

I used gold acrylic paint over Rimmel London's Black Satin. They look like....pyramids....hence the name

The thumb and ring finger also look like bumble bee butts...bumble butt pyramid? No? K...fine.

Anyway, I am pretty in love with these.

There is definitely a different bounce in my walk today with this mani on!

Who knew something so simple could be so FURRS?!

Have a fantastic weekend, lovers!!

RAWR Shop- Dress up Nails

Good day, my lovelies!!

Dani from Call It Beauty came over last night and we played dress up....ON HER NAYOS!

She pitched this idea to me last week, inspired from a picture on NailPorn

(Source: Tumblr)

"What if.....we put different shirts on each nail??" Said Dani

...and we did just that! What a great idea that was!!

Here are some close up shots of the shirts. Okay....HOW CUTE ARE THESE?!

Next, I'd like to draw your attention to our new friends:

We were originally going to put bustier tops on the thumbs but they ended up looking like dogs.

So I came up with something just as FIERCE and FABULOUS:

The Fabulous Twins- Fernando and Ronaldo.

We took forever long to finish this mani because Ryan Gosling was on TV.

...and seriously, can you blame me for getting distracted by this face?...

(Source: Tumblr)

The answer is YES.

As always, we laughed lots, drooled lots (to Ryan Gosling on TV)....oh yea...and we also did some uber cute nail art. =D Now look at her pro posing skills:
