Stress Management and Mars

Hello everyone, Today I am featuring a couple of polishes that I really like. I did buy both of these items. Have you tried Ginger + Liz?  I picked a couple of their polishes up at Ulta and finally got around to using one of them. This is Stress Management which is a deep teal.

Ginger + Liz makes a top notch product for the money. Stress Management is a thick gloss cream and can be a one coat polish. You can put two coats on if you want to but if stressed for time, one coat will do the job.

This blue does live up to blue's bad rap. I did have some staining. I used Duri Rejuvacote under this mani. I must have not gotten it thick enough on my thumb. Now I am dealing with a blue stain which I can't get off with my Zoya+.



And now, moving on. I decided to do some sunburst nail art using Colores De Carol's Mars. Colores De Carol is an Indie that has quite a few collections on her site.

Mars is part of her "When The Planets Align" collection and is a multichrome holographic top coat that runs from brown with either a red or purple tint to it. My ran more reddish than purple. It could be because I picked a blue rather than a black or violet to put it on.

Put over lighter polishes, it turns into this golden reddish tan.



This is Mars on top of Cult Nail's Baker. I wore this for an extended amount of time. It is just an easy color to wear, not overblown and goes with everything. It was very nice to work in.


That's it for this round. I spent a few days wearing both of these and can say they are durable. I have bought from Colores De Carol before. She has promp service and excellent quality polishes. I highly recommend her.

Here are the links to the shop's again:

That it for today. Take care until we meet again (and I know that's dorky but I just think of anything else to say and I do mean it!)

Nail Journal #3, August '13-Colores De Carol



Polish: BFF (Best Friends Forever)  by Colores de Carol

Notes: This polish consists of various sizes of fuchsia, blue and white glitter suspended in a light blue jelly base. It's sort of an instant jelly sandwich.

This mani has about three or four coats. I had a difficult time getting an even look. Next time I will first put on a base coat of a corresponding shade of lacquer.

A top coat did even things out. 

I cannot say for certain that Colores de Carol is cruelty free. But, being an Indie, I am pretty sure she is. 

Colores de Carol is an Indie Polish maker in the US. You can find her Big Cartel Store here.


"I Just Love The One Color" Of The Week

Zoya's Myrtha is a beautiful shimmery orange. I would even wear this in the Winter. Zoya is cruelty free.

July 2013 Nail Journal #1-Watermelon Explosion

Watermelon Explosion





Polish:  Colores de Carol's Watermelon Explosion found on Big-cartel.
Notes: Bright fuchsia/pink jelly base with holographic micro glitter and small rectangular black glitter. Application took me a while because I was being particular about how much glitter was on each nail.

It's a fun look for Summer.
