August Notebook

Well, here I am again one month later. Here's a run down of the few manis that I did for August. Or in other words, this was my IG feed for August. If you follow me on IG, these are all review. 

I started August with this flower dotticure using Signet Nails Kiss Off, Yoko 3000 and Hashbrown No Filter. It is a jelly sandwich with a design in the middle rather than glitter. 

Still working with Signet Lacquers, I then did a simple design using Tainted Love and Bells And Whistles.

It's Signet Again. This is my green wrap using, New Leaf, Out Of The Woods, and Opulent Okra with some added gold with my Strip Rite.

I was on a roll last month with Signet. Lauren was closing up shop and wanted her customers to do designs if possible. This is her Opal Flash over Dolf with an added top coat and studs.

This is Signet's thermal Tear The Roof Off over Dolf with some added stamping.

My last Signet mani. I did classical Greek vases using Lapis Lazuli over Yoko 3000.

Took some time off with Zoya's new Naked Manicure system.

O.K., I got bored and ended up topping it with Nfu-Oh'sFlakie #48

I started trying a new nail prep this month from Sallys.

And talk about new. Kim Michelle Colour has yet to release their first line of colors although she has some nail care items. I LOVE her cuticle balm in the Honeysuckle scent! This is her Teal Me Your Fantasy.

I needed a color to match this top which has a very colorful dragon embroidered on the front. The perfect match was Priti NYC's Wedgewood Blue.

My neon mani for the Hobby Polish Blogger's August Linkup. Again, I am using Signet polishes. The are Stranger Danger Ranger (yellow base), Slutsicle Orange, and Hashbrown No Filter.

I then went to a copy cat mani from The Polish Dude and paired KB Shimmer's A Pigment Of My Imagination with my Starbucks duochrome drink cup.

My final mani was a Galaxy using all Indies for Nail Art Nation's Indie week challenge. I use the following: 
Signet Nails: Dolf, Tainted Love and Yuko3000
Ruby White Tops: Ashley Rose (thermal( Chai Maintenance, Misfit Toys and Here Piggy Piggy
My-Stash Lacquer: Shaken Not Stirred

Well that's it. For me, this was a lot in one month. I hope you enjoyed my photo. So until next month, Take care and shine on. Terri.

KBShimmer's A Raisin To Live

Yep, I'm going dark and vampy in the Spring.The polish is A Raisin To Live by KBShimmer. "Raisin" was part of KBSHimmer's Fall '14 release.I've had it since October and finally just now got around to using it.

A Raisin To Live is a darkened burgundy jelly with small to micro holographic glitter. I did use three coats to get the coverage I wanted. I kept having spots until the third coat and then everything looked great. 

This shot is in the natural sunlight without a top coat.

It's a great stand alone. I tried some nail art with it and finally decided it wasn't worth it. The polish was just great on it's own.

The reason I chose A Raisin To Live to wear was because I thought it would go great with some pants I got on clearance. We are talking $10 clearance. I also wore Butter London's Tea and Toast with these. But that didn't last long and so put on Raisin and have been wearing it for three days. It might just come off tonight. 

I love the print on these pants. They were for Winter, but I have been wearing them like crazy this Spring.

So does anyone else have KBShimmer? I have a couple of others but haven't gotten around to wearing them yet. 

That's it for this round, just the one polish. And until we meet aging, take care and polish on!
