China Glaze Sky High-Top!

I got this one for Christmas and I am now head over heels for it (which is punny because this was originally from the Summer 2009 Kicks collection). It was seriously almost a one-coater, althought i used two coats for these pictures.....then I knocked my hand into the couch and dented my middle finger :( but check this color out!

Color Club Wing Fling and Magenta Foil

Oh man. Has it only been 4 days back to school? I'm already exhausted. I have a new sunrise shift at work, and it really kicked my butt today. I decided to play with nail foils again a few days ago! They're too fun not to. However, I learned some new things from this experience! I'll share that after I post all the pictures and things.

I layered my Magenta foil over my new Color Club Wing Fling. I could have matched the shade more accurately but I definitely just wanted to play with my new polishes! This was 2 coats. The formula was great and I don't know if it was just me but the brush in this one was awesome and super easy to control and spread.  I'm only slightly bothered by the VNL, and maybe I'll try it again with another coat to see if that does anything. Since I was planning on putting foil over it, I wasn't terribly upset.

Color Club Metamorphosis

First week of classes is almost half over! Since it's only the first week and I'm taking less classes than usual (even though they're hard classes) I feel like I have so much time. But just because I have time doesn't mean I have had the motivation to post anything. So here I am watching Face Off (the only show I watch religiously because it's AWESOME) and working on this post during commercials. The last polish I wore was beautiful but it kind of paled in comparison since I so recently did a teal metallic foil that was BEAUTIFUL. But I just got the Color Club Take Wing Collection and this is the polish I was most looking forward to. I even had an occasion to wear it! This is Color Club Metamorphosis:

Silver Starburst foil

Alright, I'm still addicted to these nail foils I just got so here's another one that I wore to a couple of the women's basketball games. I wore it over Revlon Silver Screen because I couldn't get my bottle of OPI DS Radiance. And of course I got it opened after I finished the manicure. But that's okay it still worked out pretty well! Silver Starburst is a metallic silver with holographic stars. It's kind of awesome.

While I was watching the men's basketball team play against Arizona the other night I decided it would be fun to pull out all of my manicure stuff and reorganize it all! Yay.

Yay organization!

Teal Foil (Picture Heavy)

So I just got the nail foils I ordered from dollarnailart.com and I love the ones that I got! The website has a $25 minimum (but I heard through the grapevine that if you have a printed order form you can get however many you want) and each foil is $1 (hence the name). They also give you a free bottle of nail glue for every 6 foils you get. And each foil strip is 5 feet long, which means that you get a freaking lot of foil.

Now I did my research before I invested, and there are a few major problems with nail foils.

1. The wear is terrible, and they only last for a very short amount of time
2. It's really difficult to find a top coat that works, because any top coat that you use will crease and crinkle the foil, which makes it lose it's finish :(

Even with these issues in mind, I decided I may as well go for it, they are so stunning I can deal.

So here's the first foil I decided to play with :

This picture was taken after I put topcoat on, and you can tell after you see what it looked like before.

Okay now check this out, I did the foil over Sally Hansen The Real Teal, which you can see here. The base color is really important for later, when the foil starts to wear off.

Are you freaking kidding me? Look at that mirror-like finish! That is insanity.
