Tipsy Turvy Nails - Pretty Pink Panties

So, since we have our own nail polish line now (Tipsy Turvy Nails)  I figured I would review one of our creations.  I'm just going to give a description and then let you decide for yourselves, since I'm obviously biased.  :)

So here she is...Pretty Pink Panties.

"This polish is made up of hot pink mica and a reflective fuchsia mica along with some holo shine!"

My lighting was a bit wonky so I decided to take a picture of what they look like today in the fluorescent light of my office.  This is two days later...

This is actually the most accurate picture in terms of color.  I applied two coats and there is very little visible nail tip.

Zoya Pasha and butter LONDON Matte Finsh Top Coat

So I figured since I messed up my Julep Crackle manicure I would move on to Matte manicures!

I used Zoya's Pasha - a very shimmery beige-y color for my nails.  I love this.  It's so neutral and it goes one wonderfully.

I then put on a coat of the Matte Finish by butter LONDON and I really liked the subtlty of the manicure.  I figured I could wear this one to work and it would look great.

I went about my evening...made dinner, ate and then sat down to write out some bills about 45 minutes to an hour later.  I messed it up from writing with a pen.  My thumb got smudged!!  Kind of like the top crust, if you will, was super dry by between the polish and the nail wasn't...it never dried properly!

So my suggestion is to do you maincure and wait for it to dry naturally and then apply the Matte Finish Top Coat...you won't run into any problems.

I actually put it on a week old pedicure to give me a different look and it's been fine!

Here come the photos!!

Julep - Leslie and Glenda

I know there was a lot of buzz about this month's Julep Maven boxes...

Many people couldn't believe they were doing a crackle polish!!  I know I started doing crackle well over a year ago and haven't done it in ages!

I decided to pick the 'It Girl' box and give it a try.  I wouldn't be a true blogger if I didn't give my honest opinions on all polishes...

So here we have Leslie and Glenda.  Leslie is basically black with a touch of glitter in it.  Glenda being the silver crackle.  I did two coats on Leslie and it covered well. 

I disliked how Glenda went on and was unimpressed with how the crackle looked and the fact that it didn't dry under everything.  I ended up messing this manicure up pretty quickly even after 30 minutes had surpassed...

Glenda to me went on way too thick which hindered the crackle process.  Take a look for yourselves.

While I do love Julep's polish I just wasn't in love with the crackle.  They should stick to regular polish.

Elle - Imperial Purple

So I'm a Kohl's shopper.  I love my 30% off coupons and I love my Kohl's Cash.  This past week I had $20 in Kohl's Cash to spend and this was a painful trip to the store.  I could not decide on ANYTHING!!  The clearance section wasn't doing it for me...  Shoes...  Purses...  NADA!!

So while wandering around makeup I found a tiny section of nail polish made by Elle.

It was originally $10 a bottle but I had $20 in Kohl's Cash!  So with everything I picked up (a pair of earrings and some body spray perfume) I grabbed a bottle.  Cost me less than $10 when all was said and done.

I decided on Imperial Purple.  This polish is really nice.  It's a nice thick polish with really good coverage.  The color was difficult to catch in a picture though.  When it was bright out our you were in direct sunlight it was different from when you were inside.  So I took photos with and without the flash and even a photo outside.

Enjoy!!

Boogeyman ~ Tipsy Turvy Nails

In honor of Halloween, we have created a line of polish after my favorite scary movies. I love scary movies. Even the dumb ones. And, we thought this would be a cool line to introduce. 

This first polish is Boogeyman. This is in honor of Michael Myers...the man who made Halloween a scary time for me...but in a good way. His costume was simple. Blue coveralls and an emotionless facemask with hair...brilliant. And, he was surprisingly quick...he always managed to take one step for the 8 or 9 of the person he was chasing. Makes sense, doesn't it?

And, Boogeyman is available in our Etsy store, Tipsy Turvy Nails. 

The polish has a light silver/blue base with blue matte hexes and regular shiny blue hexes, white and red hexes, silver holographic squares and a rainbow sparkle.

Here we go!

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.

Zoya ~ Tori

I really can't say enough about all the Zoya polishes I ordered. And, since they were bought with recommendations from our readers, that makes them more special...so of you have great taste!!!

This little gem is Tori...Deep cool-toned berry red packed with pink duochrome shimmer and silver microglitter.

Love me some duochrome and microglitter. This polish just makes me smile :)

Zoya ~Angelina

What a beautiful brown! Angelina is gorgeous and rich and goes on like a dream. Zoya describes her as: Very dark and saturated vampy blackened chocolate brown creme. 

This color will really go with anything!

Zoya ~ Michelle

OK, I may have found the best nail polish in all the world. Why you ask??

Well, it is named after me, and that makes it the best (at least in my little world!!)

This is Michelle. She is so pretty and pink! 

Zoya describes me as: Deep, striking magenta pink with frosty violet-blue duochrome shimmer. Oh yeah...

Coppernicus ~ Tipsy Turvy Nails

Very proud to post this! This is one of the polishes in our very own nail polish line, Tipsy Turvy Nails.

This is Coppernicus - a copper base with tiny little orange and black hexes. There is also a little bit of holographic properties in it. The orange hexes are very subtle, but really catch in the light.

I hope this is the first on many kickass polishes that we can create!

Zoya ~ Suri

I was very fortunate to get in o n the Zoya deal a few weeks. I had NO Zoya polish in my arsenal, so I could not wait to try it out. I went with many of your recommendations, and was super excited to get them and review them all.

First up is Suri. I actually asked my husband what he wanted me to wear, and he declared "Purple!" So, that is what we got :)

Beautiful color. Covered in two coats. Went on smooth with no trouble. I am so happy to have some of this polish now...it was well worth the wait.

It also reminded me a little of the purple shade from Orly Mysterious Curse. This doesn't have the color shifting properties that MC has, but it is the same shade of purple.

butter LONDON ~ Wallis

I scored on the Coterie deal and got 3 butter LONDON polish and a top coat for $11.00. I can tell you that prior to blogging, I NEVER would have spent $14.00 on a bottle of polish. But, I am now reconsidering that :)


Wallis is gorgeous. The site describes it as "A tarnished, metallic olive gold nail lacquer, as mysterious and regal as its namesake." I love it!!

Here it is outside with the flash on:

Beautiful!

Multi polish manicure w/ nail stamping featuring Pretty and Polished - Priivate School

Okay so this one was a multi-step mani!  But it came out awesome!!

I had gotten a mini of Pretty & Polished's Private School and I have been dying to try it out!  I felt it needed a base color though so I didn't have to put on too many coats.  I chose China Glaze's Hook and Like from the Capitol Colors Collection inspired by The Hunger Games.

So here is today's line up...

 

I chose to do the little wine glass stamp on my ring finger.  Here is a close up of the stamp design.

Here is a close up of the Hook and Line by China Glaze...since I was only needed a slight base color I only did one coat.  It's really pretty.  :)

On to the Private School by Pretty & Polished.  This polish is amazing!  It's described as a gray creme with black and white hex glitters surrounded in a sea of sparkly red micro glitter.  I bought this at her Etsy store.  I think it was the red micro glitter that got me.  Here comes the photo bomb!!!

The back of the mini bottle so you can see the details.

 

One coat - no flash

 

One coat - with flash - see the red glitter???

 

Two coats - no flash

 

Two coats - with flash!

 

 

Then I added my wine glass - which was subtle since there was white hex - but I knew it was there and I loved it!!

 

All in all I loved this glitter polish.  I had good coverage.  I didn't need to place anything, it all fell in the right places.  :)
