Birthday nails :)

I had such a hard time choosing what to do for my birthday nails so I had to do skittles of some sort! I started sorting out my favorite colors and what I thought would compliment them well, pulled my favorite glitters and konad plates and then tried to narrow it down.
Thumb: Wet n Wild black (which was goopey and horrible- but the only black I could find) with a coat of Color Club Magic Attraction over it.
Pointer: China Glaze Laced Up stamped with BM16 using Sally Hansen I Pink I Can.
Middle: China Glaze Peachy Keen with BM20 stamped over it in a franken dubbed Peaches n Cream (made using Peachy Keen as a base)
Ring: Wet n Wild black + a weak attempt at gradual glitter using OPI Mad as a Hatter
Pinkie: Sally Hansen I Pink I Can stamped with BM19 in China Glaze Laced Up
And here is a picture of me looking a fool and drinking my free GIANT birthday margarita:)

Petites Color Fever Part 1
This was going to be a big post but I decided to split it into two so I have more posts for you while on my "no buy". Truthfully, right now there doesn't seem to be very much going on in the polish world. The only collection I've really been lemming is the new China Glaze Vintage Vixens. Is that just me or do things seem kinda slow? Anyways, I love these little Petites, they are fabulous! I got mine at Rite Aid for $3.99 each. The brush is decent, no complains and the formula is pretty darn good. I haven't had any issues with application at all. The wear is pretty average but that is alright with me.
Figi 2 coats. Gorgeous glimmering teal blue.
Electric Indigo 3 coats. Powder blue but bright at the same time.
Wild Plum 2 coats. Slightly holographic dark purple.
Peach Blush 3 coats. NARS Orgasm in nail polish form (I know they make one but it's so expensive). I think this is gorgeous! Yummy peach and gold.
Raspberry Ice 2 coats. Almost metallic hot magenta.

My Valentine nails- Peachy Keen franken & konad
I rarely create franken polish but this is one of those cases. When I bought Peachy Keen from China Glaze's Up & Away collection I expected a milkier peach than what I got. I still like Peachy Keen but I decided to make myself that creamy light peach I was searching for and couldn't find. Despite being married, I'm not big on Valentine's so no hearts from me, just something pretty and feminine.
What I used for this franken: about 1/2 bottle of Wet N Wild French White, about 1/4 bottle of China Glaze Peachy Keen and a splash of Zoya Sweet to give it a little extra pink tone. Didn't quite make a full bottle but pretty close and I've really happy with the results.
Remember you can always click the photos to see them bigger :) Stamped with Konad m56 plate using China Glaze 2030. I have to say that this was one of the easiest Konad manis I have ever done. Something about the metallics are just great for it!
Any suggestions on a name for this franken? I suck at naming them :P
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Jumping on the blog wagon
Figure I might as well share my swatches and nail art with everyone out there in the blogging-world :)
So, I will begin with a review of one of the new Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes. I purchased Peachy Keen. I originally scoffed at the price tag of $6.50 for a rather commonly colored drug store brand polish and I'm not convinced it is worth that still...
I did four coats of Peachy Keen and it still is not opaque. I then did a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic over it. The formula is pretty standard, a little runny and nothing special. The first two coats were streaky and horrible looking so this needed at least three coats.. The brush is similar to the Insta Dry brush but a little wider and thicker it also feels cheaper than the Insta Dry brush- stiffer.
Complete Salon Manicure brush next to Insta- Dry brush.
The wear was bad- this chipped the next day pretty easily but that could also be due to the matte top coat. Based on this polish I don't see myself shelling the $6.50 out for another bottle of this formula. The colors are all nothing special so there isn't much reason to return to this line. The color is pretty but not great. In store I expected a more beige tone but it is a true light pink with no shimmer. It would be a good french manicure color if it weren't so streaky.
