Nabi Cappuccino

Hello beauties! Today I have Nabi Cappuccino to share with you. It was trickier to work with than the other Nabi magnetics I own.  It took about 3 applications before I got the hang of it.  Instead of 2 coats of polish I had to use 1 medium coat and quickly apply the magnet. 

Cappuccino is a golden bronze and the magnet creates light pink highlighted lines. I was worried it wouldn't look so great against my skin tone but it's fabulous! Another great magnetic by Nabi.

Nabi's can be purchased at select Walgreens, Ebay or Amazon for $4-6 dollars. 

 

My First Blog Sale

I'm moving so I must downsize my collection.  Bad for me but good for you!  Please read the details about each item before inquiring.  This blog sale is for US residents only. 

All items were purchased by me :)

A Few Details About the Items for Sale

1. A couple of the OPI's have the serial number scratched out. This is done by Transdesign or Target. If you don't like scratches on your bottles, please inquire before purchasing. 

2. Some of the Julep labels I moved from the bottle cap to the sides of the bottle or vice versa. They used to cover their bottle caps with labels before transitioning to stickers on the bottom.

3. Most items that indicate swatches, have been swatched on 4 fingers only and have 90-95% left in the bottle. 

4. For the new Konad image plates, I have the new and old packaging (light and dark pink). Some of the used Konad image plates have polish stains on the backing. I have taken pictures to show the back of them.

5. I will respond to your emails promptly. Please email inquires to girlluvbaby(at]yahoo(dotcom).

All sales are final. I will not accept returns and I am not responsible for lost or stolen packages. If you are concerned about tracking, you can purchase a tracking confirmation for your package for $1. I will wrap the polishes well so they do not break but you can always purchase insurance.

Happy Memorial Day!

My nail of the day is a flag mani for the Holiday.  I used Cheeky image plate CH4 for the stars and stripes. For stamping I used Konad white, Sally Hansen insta dry in Racin' Red and In-A-Blink Blue for the base. 

It actually looked great without the stripes. I'll have to try this image plate again for a wavy French tip. 

My daughter loves them. I hope you do to. Happy Holiday :) 

Lollipops, Candy and Ice Cream

Happy Saturday! I hope you have lots of fun planned for the long Holiday weekend. I'm in such a great mood today and I believe its because of my new vitamins. I feel so alive!

My nail of the day is a candy and ice cream nail design stamped over a lilac franken. They will go great with the carnival I plan to take my girls to. The image plates used were M14-cupcakes, QA12-dots, FUN2-candy and BM20-lines. I stamped using Sally Hansen insta-dri in Flasy Fuchsia.

The base I made is a franken (Lollipop) inspired by a Flickr Goddess, Penelope Luz. I'm not sure if she has a blog or not, everything is in Portugeuese. I came across her lovely nails and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw her gorgeous franken.  Her version is a million times better than mine but this will do until I can buy her version :)

A closer view.  

I hope you like this mani. Thanks to Penelope for the inspiration!  Have a long and fun weekend :o)

Up Colors Multi Magenta

Hello beauties! Today I have a fun holographic color to share with you called Multi Magenta by Up Colors. It's a dark magenta with medium golden linear holo.  Not blinding holo, but still pretty.  I used 2 coats but I prefer the lighter look of 1 coat.  The application was smooth and easy. No need for aqua base.

After a while I got bored with it and stamped using Konad image M78. 

I found Multi Magenta at ninjapolish.com for $7.50.

Bright Neons in the City

A quick and dirty nail of the day using my new MJ image plate. Excuse the messiness. I was polishing my nails while watching Weight of a Nation and I got a little distracted. Afterwards, I went immediately to the gym :(

For this look, I used Color Club's Starry Temptress neon's in Otherworldly and Space Case then stamped with Konad white.  Super easy and fun!

I purchased the image plate from MyOnline Shop but it will be available soon at Ninjapolish.com.

OPI Announces NEW! Pure Lacquer Nail Apps

           OPI launches Pure Lacquer Nail Apps for instantaneous manicures and pedicures created using precut nail strips made of 100% real nail lacquer – providing a high-gloss finish, long-lasting wear and zero dry time. Offered in both cream and shimmer finishes, Nail Apps are available in 14 different styles – ranging in design from edgy snake print and fishnet to feminine gold lace and floral.

 “Nail art has become increasingly popular, with both consumers and trained professionals,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Pure Lacquer Nail Apps provide the perfect way to get a one-of-a-kind look that simply cannot be replicated by hand. Each nail strip is made of 100% real nail lacquer for a flawless final look with easy application.”

            

Combining base and color in one convenient product, Nail Apps adhere to nails in seconds and can be stretched for a perfect fit. Each pack contains 16 strips to ensure perfect sizing for all finger and toe nails. For best results, this product should not be finished with top coat. Simply remove with an acetone polish remover like OPI Expert Touch Lacquer Remover before trying a new design.

“To make Nail Apps last even longer, upgrade your service by having your manicurist cure the nail strips with a GelColor Top Coat. With this addition, Nail Apps will last up to two weeks,” explains Weiss-Fischmann. “If you chose at-home application, place each Nail App carefully, trimming where necessary. Top coat is not recommended. Within minutes, your nails will be uniquely designed like never before!”

Pure Lacquer Nail Apps are available at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for the suggested retail price of $11.95.
