My Ten Friends Carbon Based Life

My Ten Friends Carbon Based Life, You can probably guess by the previous posts of MTF Pew!Pew!Pew! and MTF Dirtball that I really like this Indie polish line. The owner, creator and distributor Mei-Lynn is so creative and great to do business with I have decided to continue purchasing from her. Recently I placed a pretty large order and I can't wait to get them so I can share them with you. In the meantime here is Carbon Based Life paired with Sation Capuccino on the base of some of my nails. MTF Carbon Based Life is a peach iridescent based polish with gold XL hexes and smaller holo micro glitter. The formula was a breeze to apply and removed alot faster than other heavy glitters. My favorite part of this polish is the XL gold hexes. Another beauty from MTF. You can purchase Carbon Based Life at her Etsy shop and they are $8.88 per bottle.

Sation, Revlon and OPI come together

Some of you are also following my FB page NailPolishTherapy and saw that I posted a picture of the new Revlon color Sparkle Aplenty recently displayed at Walgreens. I was so excited to finally get it after stalking 4 different drugstores :). Yes I did stalk the stores and at the fifth Walgreens by my job I finally snagged the beauty! So needless to say I was over the moon. Revlon Sparkles Aplenty is a black jelly based with silver hexes and silver glitter. The jelly base is slightly more opaque than your average jelly but can still be worn as a jelly. With two coats it gives perfect coverage and while casting a wonderful layering effect. Te hexes look like they're suspended in some parts and laying on each other in other parts. So here is Revlon Sparkle Aplenty beside Sation Black.

I have to say that Sation Black is the shiniest, creamiest, jet black I've ever tried and for sure a 1 coater. I've heard that Cult Nails Nevermore is a great black but I haven't tried it. This Sation Black cost me $3 at my local nail supply store so I can live with that.

After having the Sation Black on for 1 day I decided to try the bagging technique that I saw on this post from NiftyBa. It looked easy enough and I liked that it wasn't messy or time consuming. I'm all about using everyday items to make quick and unique effects on your nails. I added OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous and this is what I got:

Below is a closeup of my thumb with natural light. I don't know if it's the combination of colors I used but this was hard to photograph, hence the reason I only have 2 photos to share. The others were so pix-elated and didn't show the difference in the two colors well. I will be doing this again since it was so easy to do and I have plenty of plastic bags I can put to use. I like the effect. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Zoya Maisie and Sation Oh My Oceania

Still working on that Summer drawer, and almost ready to skip on to the Autumn drawer, I found this beauty in the back of the drawer. I forgot I had it lol! It's Sation Oh My Oceania and its a lighter version of Sation Miss McTeal. Oh My Oceania is much more creamy in consistency. It was easily 1 coater, but I was enjoying it so much I decided to do 2 coats. Then I added Zoya Maisie on top. I loved this blue-green, glassy flecks looking glitter. The glitter lays flat and looks like it's in shreds, but adds just slight bit of dimension to an otherwise flat creme. I like how subtle Zoya Maisie was because I didn't want it to compete with Sation Oh My Oceania. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Jelly Sandwich! (50/50)

This is a very special post because it is my 50th post and I also coincidentally have 50 followers! In addition to that it is my first attempt at a jelly sandwich :) For those of you not part of the nail polish community, this is where you sandwich a glitter polish between two layers of a thin polish so that the glitter appears to be suspended between the polish. I have seen this done so many times and my favorite is when a large hexagonal glitter is used. It seems to show up so much better. I typically prefer more opaque, rich colors so this is definitely stepping out of my box. I am pleased with the effect and plan to try it with different combos in the following weeks. For this I used Sation and Bonita polishes. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

The colors used were Sation Miss McTeal and A Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose with Bonita Gold Glitter sandwiched in between.

I might have tried a thinner coat of the A Rose is a Rose... color to allow the glitter to show through a little more. I tend to be a little heavy handed with my polish application. The formula of all three polishes was good though. the glitter, as expected had to be placed a little strategically but otherwise wasn't a problem.
