Different Dimension ~ Penny

This is the last polish in the Big Bang Theory Collection from Different Dimension. I am kind of sad that it was come to an end and there aren't more polished in this collection!!

This is Penny. She is a coppery base with copper and brown glitter and copper and brown hexes throughout. Very easy to apply...this is 2 coats with a topping of Seche Vite.

Different Dimension ~ Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty

I have been wanting to review this one for a long time. This is the 3rd polish of the Big Bang Theory Collection from Different Dimension. This polish misbehaved on me the first couple of times I tried it. It is pretty thick, and I didn't think I was skilled enough to put it on. Every time I did, I ended up taking it off in frustration.

So, I added some thinner and a couple more mixing balls. That seemed to do the trick:

From the Etsy listing, this polish is a creamy grey jelly base with tons of different sized white hex glitter, silver holographic glitter and grey glitter in different sizes.

This polish is not glitter heavy, and I think that is why I like it so much. Even though this polish almost defeated me, I kept on fighting it until I won :)

Different Dimenision - Fifty Shades of Grey Collection - Red Room of Pain

So I was saving this one for a special occasion.  This Saturday my husband and I are celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary.  (I love you, Todd!)  I decided to overhaul the finger and toes and when thinking about our upcoming weekend away (just going to Denver, about an hour away) I decided to do red toenails.  Classic red.  Then I remembered the Red Room of Pain. 

I debated putting it on my toes because I know what it takes to get glitter off of nails.  The foil wrapped around my piggies?!?!  Did I want to do that???  Would I rather choose Christian's Red Room of Pain than go through the process of removing glitter from my toes???

Obviously I went through with it.  Please excuse my overpainting on the toes.  As some of you know, it's work to get down there and get the too look pretty.  The look a tad dry, and there is some paint where it shouldn't be but it's all good!!

So I started with Essie's Jag-U-Are.  It's a gorgeous red shimmer.  Here it is and here are my toes...

It's a really nice red.

So I started with one coat of Red Room of Pain (WHICH I LOVE!!!)

I offered pretty good coverage from the get go.  But it wasn't ENOUGH sparkle.  We were planning on going to a fancy dinner so these toes needed to be Ah-MAZING!!!!

Coat two (sorry for the blurry photos...my iPhone doesn't take the greatest photos...that or it's user error).

I love them, and so does Todd. 

Over all a great polish!!!  Only one more review to go in the collection.  More...

Which I have used but I forgot to photograph it...I know...silly me...

Different Dimension ~ Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock

Here is another polish from Different Dimension from the Big Bang Theory Collection. I love the blues in this glitter. It has a light blue jelly base with white glitter and white, light blue, grey and light green hexes. It reminds me of the color of the ocean. I did some swatches without any under and with (sounds dirty!!). The underwear I used was e.l.f. Mint.

These are the with underwear swatches:

These are commando (without underwear):

All swatches had 2 coats. This went on very nicely, and there is a ton of glitter so no fishing around n the bottle. Love!!

Labor Day Manicure

In honor of the holiday, I have tried to get a little creative with my manicure this weekend. I did not take pics as I went (oops!) but it was a really easy manicure, and you can figure it out by what I used.

The glitter nail is Different Dimension Purple People Eater. I won this polish in a giveaway. When I was looking at the bottle, it reminded me of fireworks, so I put that on my ring finger. It has tons of purple, green and orange hexes, black fine glitter, and color shifting glitter. I love it!

I got my Zoya polish in the mail, so I chose Carmen, which is a nice true red. 2 coats and I was ready to rock.

For the blue, I dug through my polish box and found a bottle of L'Oreal Jet-Set in Orbit. This polish is probably 12 years old and I bought it for $1.00 at Eckerd Pharmacy in Florida. The price tag was still on it. All I had to do was shake it and it was prefect!

For the white, I chose Spoiled Correction Tape.

I used blue painters tape to make the blue triangles, and a pointed q-tip for the dots.

As you can see, really simple to do, and I think it looks pretty good for one of my first times :)

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Different Dimension - Fifty Shades of Grey Collection Part 2 - Inner Goddess

So here we go with Part 2 of Different Dimension's Fifty Shades of Grey polish collection.

This is Inner Goddess...you remember her...I totally wanted to punch her in the face sometimes...

I put it on one nail and I decided it needed a base coat of white, so I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

I just did one coat and I wasn't very careful with it because I knew the glitter would hide the flaws.

Here is one coat of the Inner Goddess...

OOoooooooooohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

This totally deserved a second coat!!!

Pictures do not do this justice at all!!  It looks like I have diamonds on my nails!!!  I could see using this for toes for a wedding or some other formal event.  It's just GORGEOUS!!!!!!  I can't believe how in love I am with this glitter!!!

Stay tuned for the last two...  More... and Red Room of Pain!!

Different Dimensions - Fifty Shades of Grey Collection Part 1 - 50 Shades

So I decided I needed more indie nail polish.  I was wandering around Etsy and came across Different Dimension.  She had a glitter collection of four bottles inspired by the Fifty Shades of Grey series.  While I have read the series, twice, it is a guilty pleasure read.  By no means is it a great piece of literature, but it sure will keep you reading.  Then regretting that you read it.  Then you move on to book 2 and 3.  Then before you know it you have downed at bottle of wine, you finished all three books in a weekend and your husband can no longer walk...

Ahem...

Anyway - here is the whole collection (and one of her necklace she makes as well)...

From left to right...50 Shades, Red Room of Pain, Inner Goddess, more...

She also puts a QR code on the back of the bottles so when you scan them it takes you right to her Etsy store...clever huh???

So I decided to put on a base coat though in her Etsy store you get full coverage with two coats.  She describes this polish as:

"This polish is packed with tons of amazing glitter in a grey jelly base! There are black & white shreds, gunmetal & matte grey hex glitter, superfine grey flakies, black hex, holographic silver squares, as well as black, sparkling white, holographic silver ultrafine glitter and holographic grey glitter!"

So of course I started with 50 Shades.

Here comes the photo bomb!

Revlon Timeless and 50 Shades by Different Dimension

One coat

Two coats and final product.

This glitter polish is very thick.  It has tons of sparkle and the grey jelly base really covers.  Unfortunately, I tried to make dinner too soon after applying my fast drying top coat and I messed it all up.  No fault of the polish, but the fault of the wearer and the impatience to feed her family...

Wah...

RIP 50 Shades manicure.  Until we meet again.

Stay tuned for the rest of the collection!!!!!!

Different Dimension ~ Bazinga!!

I love The Big Bang Theory. So, while shopping on Etsy, I came across this store, Different Dimension. She has an entire line dedicated to one of my favorite TV shows. I had to have it!

So, this is the first of the series. So far, I am crushing on it and looking for other things to paint with this glitter. My husband has said no to painting his nails...any other takers??

Description from her site:  This polish has a yellow jelly base with different sized yellow and red hexes, as well as little red and yellow glitter.



Are you ready...

Now you can see why I love it. I put on 3 coats of Wet n Wild megalast in a color called Heatwave, which is pretty awesome by itself. Then 2 coats of Bazinga! and a coat of Seche Vite.  The formula is excellent. There was no fishing for glitter...it just came out like that!

I'm just sad that in a few days I will need to change this to something else...but I do have 3 more polishes in this collection to try...so stay tuned!!

Oh and...Bazinga!!
