I recently received Sinful Colors - Song of Summer in the
#surfsupvoxbox and thought that it seemed incredibly similar to ORLY -
Coachella Dweller, so I decided to do a comparison!<br />
<br />
As you can see above the two polishes are practically the same, I’d
say there was maybe a half shade difference between them. Nothing
significant though. Coachella Dweller had a thinner and more sheer
formula and needed 3 coats to become opague and non streaky. Song of
Summer only needed two coats.<br />
<br />
I don’t believe Coachella Dweller is sold in stores anymore, so if you missed out on that one I suggest buying Song of Summer.<br />
<br />

I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to take off a glitter polish. So,
instead of taking off the glitter I just patched the nails up and added a
pretty red hued coral to the rest of my nails and added a gold glitter
dot to them.<br />
<br />
To patch up the glitter nails I took a small glob of polish and
repainted the free edge to hide any chips and tip wear. Once that was
dry I painted a thin coat of glitter to the entire nail. That hid the
extra polish at the tips as well as covered up the new nail growth near
the cuticle.<br />

<br />
I started off with a base of OPI - My Vampire is Buff (adore this
color!) on all fingers but the ring finger and thumb. For the remaining
fingers I painted on two coats of OPI - My Favorite Ornament.<br />
<br />
I
then proceeded to do the dry brush technique on the MViB nails using
Revlon Colorstay - Trade Winds and Zoya - Flynn. I wanted it to look a
bit wood grainy but I went in a bit too heavy handed for that. It still
creates an awesome effect though! <br />
<br />
Next I went in with
white acrylic paint, which was a new experience for me. I used the white
paint to make the vines and leaves. I typically mess things like that
up so I thought I'd try the paint this time so that if I messed up I
could just wash it off. That sort of worked. Sort of.<br />
<br />
I
filled in the vines with ORLY - Coachella Dweller and the leaves with
Sally Hansen Magnetic - Electric Emerald and Pure Ice - Creme Wild
Thing. I then just dotted on simple flowers with a Utes nail polish and
Wet N Wild - Sunny Side Up. I dotted those in the middle with My Vampire
is Buff.<br />
<br />
I painted a fox on my middle finger. I love
this fox but it's a bit different from the fox in my inspiration. I
attempted the fox from my inspiration but it ended badly. <br />
<br />
Anyway,
I've blabbered on enough. Here's the photo of my inspiration. It is a
card filled with cute little sticky notes. I have a feeling I'll be
using this item for more inspiration in the future.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I really like this ORLY Matte FX in Purple Velvet. It's such a pretty
purple. The only problem with it being matte is that once it dries all
the shimmers in it become almost unnoticeable. To see the shimmers you'd
have to add a shiny topcoat. I might have to try it out soon. <br />
<br />
The
formula was not self leveling either. So, if you do choose to wear this
color you have to smoothly and evenly apply the polish. I didn't do
this properly on my left hand and it looks all bumpy and weird.<br />

I’ve had the ‘Thank Yous’ written and the
pictures laying around since the end of March. I’ve just been incredibly
slow in getting the rest of it written and posted.)<br />
'Ello, everyone! Today, instead of posting nails, I'll be showing off my giveaway prizes I won from the <a href="http://colormesocrazy.blogspot.com/2014/01/colormesocrazy-1000-follower-make-me.html#.Uznh8aLLKcS" target="_blank">ColorMeSoCrazy’s 1000 Follower Make Me Pretty Giveaway</a> as well as saying a BIG, BIG thank you to the lovely ladies who provided the goodies for my prize pack.<br />

Next up, a humongous thank you to Elizabeth from Polished

she provided. And my sister loved the extra candy she provided. Haha.
Anyway, I’ll be going into more detail about the gifts down below. In

The last person I have to thank is Donna from Working Girl Nails
and Sweet Baby. She provided a couple items from her shop. I’ve been
using the cuticle oil she sent before taking photos,holy crab apples,
it smells SO FREAKING GOOD. I could just sit around breathing this stuff
in for hours. I won’t. But it’s tempting. Mmm, creamy pumpkin. Ahem,
onto the links! Go buy some cuticle oil from her and let me know if it’s
as heavenly as the one I was sent.<br />

These colors are gorgeous and aside from Visions of Love, they are
unique to my collection. I’ve used My Favorite Ornament on my toes and
they were so sparkly. I don’t usually stare at my feet but while wearing
that polish I kept making excuses to peek at them. I have yet to use
Visions of Love or I Snow you Love Me.<br />

This cuticle oil smells amazing. Not only does it smell amazing but
it also sinks into the skin quickly making it the ideal cuticle oil to
use before taking photos. That is important for me since I like to paint
my nails and take a photo immediately after they’ve dried. I don’t want
to be waiting around for cuticle oil to sink in! I recently ran out of
my EOS so I’ve started using the Green Tea Lip Balm and let me just say
it is so moisturizing. It also stays on the lips for hours, even through
eating and drinking. The only thing I don’t like about it is the
smell/taste. But that’s not important.<br />

This little Modella Round Top Bag is really cute, I adore the pattern
on it! I haven’t used it yet but I think it’ll be perfect for toting
around nail supplies if a friend wants their nails painted or I go on
vacation. But it could be used for anything that requires a small bag.<br />

This brush has become my go-to detail clean up brush. I used to use
my Kolinsky England brush exclusively but now I’m only using it to clean
up the big messes. I highly recommend this little ELF brush!<br />

This little set came at the perfect time. I was about to go onto
Amazon and buy a set of curved nail clippers as the rest of my curved
nail clippers were super dull and my good quality clippers have a
straight edge. The clippers in this set are sharp and make rounded nail
maintenance much less of a hassle. I haven’t tried the rest of the tools
in the set.<br />

Who doesn’t love candy? Reese’s are the bomb and I admit that it
disappeared into my gut soon after I saw it. It was a hardship not to
eat it before I took a hasty picture! Haha. My lil’ sister helped me out
with the rest of candy.

Color Club Editorial is blindingly bright in the sun. Two coats is shown above.<br />
<br />
I’ve also realized how hard it is to capture the color shift on camera. The bottle shows the color shift well though!<br />

Inspired by socks! Yes, socks! That lovely pair that is seen above. I
just had to put these on my nails and the way I decided to do it was to
do a half moon using NOPI Pros & Confidence and then do each
pattern on each hand.<br />
<br />
I’m loving this mismatched look!<br />

Those owl eyes stare into your soul. I tried to get fancy with my
owls and make them watercolor owls…but I failed horribly. I am happy
with this though!<br />
<br />
I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish strips in Girl Flower for my thumb, ring, and pinky.<br />

I just spent nearly two hours trying to take a color accurate photo
of Butter London Slapper. I give up. This is the best it’s going to be.<br />
It is a wonderful color though. In person, the shade is a tad darker and is much more of a <a href="http://www.art-paints.com/Paints/Airbrush/Badger/Imagine-Air/Teal-Green/Teal-Green.gif" target="_blank">teal green</a>. The color of my watermarks is a much closer match to the true color.<br />
Shown here is 3 thin coats.<br />

Day 29 - Inspired by: The Supernatural (ZOMBIES)<br />
<br />
This picture looks so professional. ♥ I’m proud of myself. I also want to give a big shout out to <a href="http://www.willpaintnailsforfood.com/" target="_blank">Will Paint Nails for Food</a>! This lovely lady had a series of tutorials over on her blog called the <a href="http://www.willpaintnailsforfood.com/2013/10/beginning-bloggers-bootcamp-week-four.html" target="_blank">Beginning Blogger’s Bootcamp</a>. I stumbled upon it last week and I love how simple it is.<br />
<br />
Now back to the nails, eh? These are for the inspired by the
supernatural prompt. As I’m currently watching Season 3 of the Walking
Dead I thought I’d look up some other zombie nails and I came across a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0H7f5RF6Ek" target="_blank"> tutorial for RIPPED FLESH nails</a>. They gross me out so much and yet they also look awesome.<br />
<br />

This color was SO difficult to photograph. Even now it’s showing up
darker than it actually is in person. The trouble with neons I suppose.<br />
<br />
I didn’t die either! Which is a good thing. While I had these on my
nails a week ago I haven’t been on my laptop (which is where all my
photos and such are) for the past week. Soooo….yup.<br />

spread things out a bit, haha) so I thought a water marble would be
