Twinsie Tuesday: TT Revisited: any challenge you particularly enjoyed

This one, I knew exactly what I want to do. This particular challenge has seriously got to be one of my favorites since my very first Twinsie post. Now, I don't wanna spoil it so, I'll just have you take a look:


Now, if you haven't already seen, here is the original post:

 

 My sweet girl from Amandalandish. This was her interpretation of a 3D mani. And might I add that I absolutely adore this more than ever! She seriously deserves an A for effort. So thanks Amanda for sharing your lovely creation/idea! I'm sure we all enjoyed this post very much! 

For this option, I opted to use the chocolate coco puffs. Looks like a piece of dropping, right? I think this is one of my favorite challenges so far! Oh, and for the nude'ish polish, I used a nude jelly, Nubar Creme. I also thought about watermarking it, but I changed my mind.

Amanda, I hope I did you a little bit of justice.

Twinsie Tuesday: Oldest Untried

Ever sat around at work and wondered why no one commented on your post? And come to find out, it never even posted? Well, that happens to me quite often unfortunately.

This weeks theme is our longest untried. And for this, I know I had to run to my favorite all time brand, OPI. OPI polishes are the first polishes that I started out with, so that made it easier. Anywho, onto the swatch!


OPI It's All Greek To Me. It's almost metallic-ky. Eh. Definitely not one of my favorites but it's one of my longest untrieds! So I hope you enjoyed this swatch!

By the way, do any of you have Mozilla Firefox but it won't upload any of your pictures? What do you do?

Twinsie Tuesday: Fishtail Mani

First off, I want to give a warm welcome to our newest Twinsie additions! Lakeisha at Refined and Polished, Kelly at Tuxarina and lastly Traci at DrinkCitra. Welcome aboard ladies!

Now this week's challenge is definitely not one that I particularly enjoyed. I have attempted this technique before I wasn't too fond of it. However, I hope you enjoy this!



My second attempt at this Fishtail Mani thing. I really didn't enjoy it because I just don't have the time and patience for each layer to dry but luckily these dried out pretty well. However, I think it came out not too shabby.

The colors that I used are: Essie Avenue Maintain, Sally Hansen I Pink I Can and BFE Andrea.

I really enjoyed the outcome and hope you did too!

Anna

Pahlish Clanking of Crystal & Unlucky in Love

*Press Sample*

I have been so lucky to be able to review some Pahlish polishes! I cannot tell you how honored and grateful I am feeling right now.

And so today I bring to you 2 beautiful Pahlish polishes:



Totally random, but I never though that Internet Explorer would ever save this blogging life of mine. Also, I want to thank all my readers who left feedback and advice about my picture uploading problem. Thanks so much!

Clanking of Crystal and Unlucky in Love are such amazing polishes. The only thing is that I couldn't catch the true beauty of both polishes. My pictures seriously do no justice! You need these in real life. But the best part about these is that they applied like butter! Sometimes some polishes can get a little thick but I didn't have a single problem!

With that said, look forward to the rest of the Pahlish polishes I will be showcasing the rest of the week!

If you are interested in Pahlish polishes, you can purchases them here at Shannon's Etsy shop. You can also Like her facebook page to stay updated.

Thanks,

Twinsie Tuesday: A Polish Picked By Someone Else

So this week's challenge was a lot of fun. A polish picked by someone else. My son just totally rammed through entire collection and ended up with these 2. As you have seen him polish my nails before here, he had a lot of fun clinging them around.

Now onto the mani:



So the two here are: China Glaze Sunday Funday, from the new Spring Avant Garden Collection and Jordana LA City Nights. This glitter was really hard to work with because it was so sparse and it was very difficult to get the gradient effect to come through. However, I think it turned out not too shabby.

Oh and excuse that knick on the pinky, just pretend it's not there.

And not to mention, I absolutely love this shade of blue. Sunday Funday is an amazing and beautiful perfect blue with yellow undertones. And it covered perfectly in 2 coats. Plus, the formula was great.

Now, go check out my Twinsies' posts!
