Orly Rock-It & Ozotic 531

Fall is coming so I'm getting to play with some more of my dark/vampy colors.  This is one of them. 

Rock-It is from Orly's Mineral FX collection that came out last fall.  I honestly can't even remember where I got it because its been sitting in my untrieds drawer for so long.  I grabbed it and just went for it.

Rock-It is a beautiful deep berry shimmer with a slight golden duochrome.  That gold shows up in the bottle more than it does on the nail, but it's there.  Above is 2 coats with no top coat.

Then I decided to layer Ozotic Mish Mash 531 over it.  I received 531-534 from piCture pOlish during one of their Facebook giveaways & I'm so happy.  I <3 them all.

531 added a golden holo over the top and made it just blingy.  I'm still drooling.  Above is one coat of 531 over Rock-It and no top coat. 

Sadly, Ozotic 531-534 have been discontinued so I'm not even sure if you can still get them anywhere.  You can check the piCture pOlish website for the various network members that sell their polishes to see if they still have any available. 

Naked Demeter w/ Attitude

I have a new(to me) polish to show y'all as well as some nail art. Recently, I picked up Deborah Lippmann Naked at TJ Maxx for just under $6. I was hoping to find something else, but went ahead and got this one. You can't pass up $6 DL polishes and I really needed a nude/neutral shade.

I think I ended up using 4 coats plus a top coat.  I was half asleep while applying this polish and was all sorts of sloppy.  I can really see myself wearing this alone when I need a break from color.

My whole reason for showing this polish today was to show you the nail art I did with it.  DL Naked is the base color and I added piCture pOlish Demeter & piCture pOlish Attitude that I showed y'all the other day for the 2012 Blog Fest.

In my head I was thinking fireworks....but that didn't happen when I started applying them.  My kiddo says they look like feathers.  I took a small nail art brush and dipped it in Demeter, brushed it on, then did the same with Attitude.  On my pinky & ring fingers, the polish was fresh and therefore kinda gloopy on the brush.  It started drying a little bit on my middle & index fingers giving a more whispy look.  Either way, I love this mani and all 3 of these polishes.

piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2012 - Attitude & Demeter

YAY!  I want to apologize in advance for being so late in getting this post up(still recovering from vacation) and for my rambling.  I'm so excited that I was chosen to participate in the piCture pOlish Blog Fest again this year(I did it last year too, with VooDoo).

As I stated, I have a TON of pics and please ignore my owwie on my ring finger.  I tried to capture these polishes in different lighting so you'll know exactly what they look like when you get them at home.  I know you'll want them.

First up, is Attitude......cause every girl needs some!  Attitude is a collaboration by piCture pOlish and Kim at Overall Beauty.  It is a beautiful deep purple with scattered holo glitter.  It's like a galaxy, if the night sky was purple & stars were holo.  Isn't that every polish lovers wish?  I needed 3 coats for perfection...I was sloppy with application, no top coat.  This shade is exclusive to Overall Beauty and piCture pOlish online. 

I loved how my camera blurred the holo on my nail on this one.

It almost looks linear, but it's not.  I really love this shade...then again I'm a purple freak.



Next up is Demeter....for all the down to earth goddesses!  Demeter is a collaboration by piCture pOlish and Katie at Harlow & Co.  This is an amazing chocolate brown with scattered holo.  When I was looking at this outside in the shade, it looked like a chocolate bar covered in sand...or a Nestle Crunch Bar.  This could've been a 1 coater, but I used 2...with no top coat.  This shade is exclusive to Harlow & Co and piCture pOlish online.

Now I want an edible chocolate bar that looks like this.


The bottles even have a QR code on the side so that you can scan it with your phone to take you directly to the piCture pOlish or network member website where the item was purchased.  :D

I'll be playing with these shades for a post later this week.  These are perfect fall shades and I'm totally in LOVE.

Layering with piCture pOlish Voodoo

The other day I showed you Voodoo by piCture pOlish which you can see by clicking HERE.  Gorgeous color.  I'm not going to say a lot in this post but let you know what I've done.

My first attempt at layering Nubar 2010 is over this polish.  Lets just say I'm totally in love with Voodoo and 2010 together.

I recently ordered a few polishes from beautyjoint.com and one of them was KleanColor Chunky Holo Black.  I wasn't happy with my initial swatch photo's of Voodoo, so I swatched it again and layered this over it.  The difference between this and 2010 is that these are glitters and not flakes.  There's very tiny glitters and hexagonal glitters in this one.  All of these were taken under my lamp.

What do you think?  Which is your favorite?  I love both & might try layering both one time.

TOODLES Y'ALL!!!

piCture pOlish - VooDoo

WARNING:  There are a LOT of pictures in this post and a lot of rambling, so if you don't want to read please scroll to take a look at this beauty!  Also, don't forget to hover over words to see links or click pictures to see the larger image.

Today I'm excited to be a part of a Blog Fest held by piCture pOlish.  Not only do they sell the gorgeous OZTIC's that we all drool over, but they have their own line!  I saw some swatches ages ago & instantly became a fan & was ecstatic when they sent an email asking for bloggers to participate.  I literally squealed when they replied saying I was one of the many bloggers worldwide chosen to show off their unique colors.

I didn't get to choose, but was so hoping for Vampire which you can see HERE.  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed when I was informed I'd be getting Voodoo, but it would've been my 2nd choice.  Upon browsing their site looking at colors, songs instantly popped in my head when reading the names.  Voodoo by Godsmack has been stuck in my head since I got the email.  Side note, Sully is just HAWT!!!

Voodoo is a Glitter shade & is described as "not quite red not quite brown" and I completely agree.  The cute little saying above the name on the label says "see the darkness feel the magic!"

Don't let the pictures of the bottle fool you.  If you're thinking "this is brown/purple with gold glitter", you're completely wrong.  I've wore it several times since receiving it & even had to email asking if there was supposed to be any gold glitter on the nail.  Their response was "That’s why we called it Voodoo as this shade magically changes from bottle to nail!!"

 Now be prepared to be overloaded with yummy vampy deliciousness.

See the gold/green shimmer in the bottle.....not on the nail!!!

  Note to self:  Don't test a new top coat when doing swatches!  I kinda messed up the TC application on my index finger and pinky. 

This went on great and evenly in 2 coats.  The first coat looked like a berry color then 2nd coat made it look like a sparkly beautiful dark wine.  I'll have another post in a few days showing a couple of polishes layered over this.  When the budget allows, I plan to order all the Dark Shades including Vampire as well as all of the other glitters, metallics, and new shades.

You can see all of their collection and other polishes they sell at their website HERE.  Also, be sure to "like" them on Facebook HERE to see the other swatches from the Blog Fest.  The piCture pOlish line sells for $9.90AUD which I believe is roughly $10.76USD.
