Fuggen Ugly Nookie Valentine

This idea I had in mind didn't quite turn out how I planned, but I still wanted to share it. 

First up, is Nookie from Laqa & Co.  Nookie is a beautiful bright pinky berry creme.  This easily could be a one coater, but I used 2 thin coats with a top coat. 

I wish I had remembered to take a picture of the box because the artwork is pure awesome. 


Then I grabbed a few ManGlaze polishes and went to town with my dotting tool and a brush.  I used Fuggen Ugly, Matte Is Murder, and Mayo.  

I used a top coat, but for my index and pinky fingers I used China Glaze Matte Magic. 

Then, I went over the others and made them all matte.

In case you can't read from the curve of my nail, my middle finger stays "F U L<3VE"  My ring finger was supposed to be hearts using reinforcement holes, but they didn't stick well and the whole thing kinda looked funky, so I played around with it. 

While it's not what I planned, it's still friggen awesome in my book.  And not too shabby for pretty much freehanding everything.  I hope everyone, single or taken, has a great day and all that jazz.  We're planning to go see A Good Day To Die since he has the day off.

~Note: Nookie was a prize from a giveaway & Mayo was a gift sent with a purchase.  The other two ManGlaze polishes were purchased by me.

ManGlaze on Fire......Fantasy Fire

Today y'all get a two for one deal.  Without the pesky shipping & handling charges. 

First up, is ManGlaze Mayonnaise.  I got this little sample size bottle in one of my orders and will definitely have to get the full size. 

Mayonnaise is an amazeballz matte white.  Above is 3 coats with no top coat.  For you fashion peeps, this is the perfect winter white.  It would be perfect for nail art too.....snowflakes & snowmen.  Remember when you used to paint your nails with Wite Out because you were bored?  This reminds me of that....minus the annoying chunks. 


Then because I just couldn't leave that alone I had to pull out one of my new pretties and layer it.  I won a giveaway from glowstars.net and was allowed to choose between US or UK brands.  Since I'm in the US I went with UK.  I told her a few of my lemmings, my fav types of polishes, and to just surprise me.  She crushed a lemming with this.

That's right.....that's Max Factor Fantasy Fire.  2 coats with top coat.

Fantasy Fire is a sheer purple jelly with a multi-chrome shimmer.  It flashes copper, red, green, and gold.  This polish instantly transforms anything you layer it over.  Over top of Mayo, it looks like a purple shimmery watercolor. 

I really wish MaxFactor would come back to the US.  I used to wear their make-up all the time & was disappointed when they left.

I absolutely love these two together and separate.  What about you?  What's your favorite polish to layer Fantasy Fire over, if you have it?

My July 4th mani!

I'm going to admit, up front, that this isn't as great as I'd thought it would be.  I'd had this planned for months, but couldn't find a certain polish I was looking for.....so I had to go with something else.  That being said, it's still cute. 

Here's what I used....

Zoya America, China Glaze First Mate, KleanColor Silver Star($0.01 from Copious), Revlon Royal, and ManGlaze Mayonnaise.


Here's the pictures, I'll tell you what I did after....

I <3 this cup from Wal-Mart!

Ok, so on all but my accent nail, I started out with 2 coats of ManGlaze Mayo, no top coat as I wished to keep it matte.  Then I semi-successfully used the spun sugar method over top using Zoya America.  My accent finger is 1 coat of China Glaze First Mate, 1 coat of KleanColor Silver Star, and 1 coat of Revlon Royal.  I didn't use any top coat as I didn't want to smear the red. 

I think I would have liked it more had I not had to actually apply some of the stripes with the dotting tool I used since America wouldn't get stringy on me. 

I hope everyone has a safe & wonderful 4th.  Make sure to stay hydrated and use SUNSCREEN!  I'll most likely just be chilling at the house just to stay in the A/C. 

ManGlaze Santorum

There's so many funny things about this polish.  Once I saw it, I absolutely HAD to have it.  I laugh every time I hear the name.  If you don't know, go look up the alternate meaning on Urban Dictionary.

I didn't get full bottle shots of this, but you can at least see the front.  Of course, the "rear end" so to speak has this listed....."We use alcohol, tenderness, & gentile persuasion to produce ManGlaze SANTORUM.  Our slow churning technique renders the smoothest, froth-free 'santorum' you've ever experienced."

Santorum is a deep reddish brown.  It's almost like a black with red (and because I'm not a man I can get away with saying this) sparkle.  My 2 fav colors EVAR are red & black.  So, combining the two and the result looking brown-ish is ok with me.

Now to my "santorum-y" pictures....top coat on my ring finger only to show the shimmer.

I dunno why the matte fingers look so not matte.  This is the 2nd time I've wore this polish and both times I had application issues, as I do with most matte's.  This is the first time I've had it with a ManGlaze polish.  My pics show 2 coats because I had problems with the first coat, but if applied correctly this is definitely a one coat polish.

I absolutely LOVE ManGlaze polishes and the company is freaking awesome.  You can purchase their polishes on Amazon(where I got mine)or on the "Shop Now" portion of their Facebook page.

TOODLES Y'ALL!!!

My St. Patrick's Day Nails

I know I'm a lil late with this, but it's been a busy weekend & I wasn't able to do this until late Friday night/early Saturday morning.  If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, I've shared a picture....but here's some better ones.

I used 1 coat of OPI Nail Envy & 1 coat of Orly Bonder as my base.  On my Index finger is 2 coats of ManGlaze Matte Is Murder, ManGlaze Santorum sponged over that, then a plain white polish lightly sponged on the tips to resemble a glass of Guinness....with a top coat of SH Insta-Dri.  All other fingers are 2 coats of Nubar Reclaim with ManGlaze NawSome Sauce on the tips. 

Below are pics under my lamp with my AWESOME bracelet.

Now some flash pictures to show the beautiful holo...

And one I took with my phone while partying!!!

I hope everyone had as great of a day as I did.  I really loved this mani, but made a few mistakes in the execution.  I was rushing, painting in the dark, and watching The Boondock Saints. 

What do y'all think?

TOODLES Y'ALL!!!

Quick Matte Rockstar Mani

Well, quick as in I wasn't really focusing on what I was doing & kinda haphazardly threw it together.  All of this while playing WoW.  Talk about multi-tasking.

I started out with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Whirlwind White.  I really need to get ManGlaze Mayonnaise, but......Santorum, Fatty's Got More Blood, and NawSome Sauce are first on my list.  Then, I took ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly and sponged it on about 2/3 of the nail & followed with ManGlaze #Matte Is Murder on the top 1/3 of the nail.  If I'd had Mayo, I'd have left it alone there.  It looked just "meh" with a glossy white base.  I topped it with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat & this it what it looked like.

Yeah, I really should've left it like that or just put my matte top coat over it.   BUT I have to go further with stuff.  So, I took out my SHANY plate BM05 & Bundle Monster Plate BM206 and used the stars along with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep.  Applied a top coat, then covered that with a matte top coat. 

I don't think it looks bad, but I'm my own worst critic.

If you don't have any ManGlaze polishes, GO ORDER SOME NOW!!  I wore both of these for more than a week with ZERO wear or chips.  That's unheard of with a matte polish. 

I'm almost to where I can get Santorum.....via using Swagbucks to purchase Amazon gift cards.  If you look to your right on the sidebar you'll see my widget.  If you're not already using Swagbucks, look into it.  It's an easy way to earn points just by searching, watching videos, or numerous other things to redeem for a variety of items including gift cards & a TON of other stuff.  It really pays off.
