Watermelon Ice Swatch

By the husbands prompting, I did a spur of the moment painting and it ended up liking the color a lot.  So we’ve got a swatch to do!

Obviously, you have your base coat.

This color is a sheer one so instead of trying to wait for four or five coats to dry, I started off with Sinful Colors Snow Me White so that the pink would show well. One coat of that and two of the pink.



Pure Ice Watermelon Ice is the color and it went on very well, not very streaky and it’s new enough that there was no clump-age. (Yes, I do use made up words)




Finish that with a coat of Seche Vite and we’re good to go!

I'm ALIVE and swatching a Melissa polish!



Good Afternoon!!

It’s been FOREVER since I last posted and I do apologize. I’ve been slacking because I started college(whooo-hooo!!) I only felt like I could really post something today cuz I have time right now. Moreso, I feel like I can cuz I had such a productive day yesterday. Organized all my clothes, put summer cloths away, brought winter clothes out, changed/cleaned out my purse, and finished all the details of my latest school paper.  Just saying…but organizing may be one of my favorite things to do. :P See?

The only thing I haven't done yet it color code....


Yes, I am THAT obsessive in the way I do things. But I can see everything, it’s nice and neat and I won’t have to worry bout where they’re supposed to go, cuz they will have a place now. :D

Yes, my drawer is missing a knob. It's irritating.


And Yes. I do keep candy in my drawers. Where else am I going to keep it?  :9

NUTELLA!!


Anywhoo…

This mani today is a swatch and I can’t for the life of me find out where the brand comes from. It’s an unnamed polish by Melissa. This polish was one that I got from a friend that was wanting to get rid of all her polish( for some insane reason…:P) and this was one that I took. Practically brand new and it wears great!



I think that this may be my new fav polish for several reasons.
#1. It’s kinda glittery without the pain of trying to take it off.
#2. It’ a darker shade, which I like.
#3. It goes on *so* nicely.
                                                                                      
Again, I do apologize for the lack of post as of late, but I probably won’t be doing a post every week since I don’t have as much time on my hands. ^^ Hehe! Time on my hands…lol But, my goal is to be more consistent in getting my school done so that I’m not posting once every two or three months.

So that’s the plan.  :)

Revlon 730 Valentine


Good afternoon!

So today, I’m going to do my first swatch! A few months ago, a friend gave me a few polishes, one being Revlon 730 Valentine. So here we go!

This polish is a deep, bloody red that I believe is considered a crème. Correct me if I’m wrong. Anyways, it went on very smoothly and there were no streaks.  I used two coats and that seemed to do a good job for opaque-ness.



It was, however, quite the bugger to photograph. It’s a bit darker in person that in the pictures. I really like this color and I have plans on using them again soon. Well, that’s all I have for today. :)

In Christ,
Alli
