Red and Gold...

Hello everyone!  I hope you are doing well!  I have another review from the wonderful KkCenterHK for you today.  I am in love with every item I have tried from this company.  They have amazingly cheap prices and the quality is awesome!  So go ahead and go look!

Mani Ingredients
Base colors-China Glaze Winter Berry and Zoya Tomoko
Water Decals-KkCenterHK
Top coat-Seche Vite

I think this is a very sexy mani!  I love red with cheetah print.  I should have found a way to add in some fishnet.  I have decided to start putting more into these simple mani's I do.  I have seen some beautiful things floating around the nail art world!  I will not be doing much free hand but I do want to do some advanced stamping and stamping and decaling together.  I am so glad to have some days off for the holiday's to just be.  I probably will not be doing much nail painting on my own nails but I am sure my family will want their nails done.  I purchased a book almost a year ago on my Kindle and I plan to finally read it!  I am starting to really miss my reading.  Don't forget to use code "manisbymoore" to get 10% off your order!

Have you tried any advanced stamping techniques??  Or mixed stamping with water decaling??  Thanks for stopping by!

Pink and Brown...

Hey everyone!  I hope you are doing well!  Sorry but no Matte Monday today.  I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the mani so I will pick it back up next Monday.  Today I have a super cute mani for you as usual.  It is also a review for some beautiful bronze studs from KkCenterHK!  I was so happy when I got them in the mail!  I have been wanting some bronze studs and actually I have never seen them before I got these!  I would also love some bronze square studs.  I didn't see any on the website but hopefully they will get some soon.

Mani Ingredients
Base colors-China Glaze IV and Spoiled Cougar Attack
Image plates-MoYou Princess Collection 08, Konad m85 and Vivid Lacquer VL 009
Stamping polish-Revlon Espresso
Studs-KkCenterHK
Top coat-Seche Vite

I love this color combo!  This pink is such a beautiful color!  I am a bit obsessed and have to fight off grabbing it every time I want to wear pink.   I love how pale it is.  It looks squishy like a jelly to me.  It has these brownish undertones to it and looks all natural.  I just love it!  This is definitely one of those I never want to take it off mani's!  Don't forget you can get 10% off by using code "manisbymoore".

Have you ordered from KkCenterHk yet??  Thanks for stopping by!

Matte Monday: Interview Nude...

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend!  We celebrated my birthday this weekend by doing our yearly ritual by going out to eat with our cousins.  We had such a good time!  We haven't seen them in quite some time so it was even more special to see them and their girls.  I had an interview today so I needed to do something less loud for today.  I was feeling like using some glitter today though.  Let's see what I came up with...

Mani Ingredients
Base color-Sally Hansen Soy Latte
Glitter-Color Club Gingerbread
Stamping polish-Kleancolor Black
Image plate-Gals GA29
Top coats-Seche Vite and OPI Matte Top Coat

I love this!  Not as subtle as I would have liked it to be for an interview but hey I am a glitter girl no since in hiding it!  I must say I had a super hard time matting this mani.  I loved the look of the shine!  I think neutrals, pastel's and near black colors are the most beautiful when they are matte.  This Soy Latte polish is no exception.  I picked it up at a store called Citi Trends for $1.99!  I purchased every Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure color they had!  Two were nudes.

What color would you wear on your nails to an interview??  Would you wear glitter??  Thanks for stopping by!

Holo Mermaid Tail...

Hello everyone!  Sorry I kind of fell off the earth this week.  I have been so super busy.  I am sorry for neglecting my blog but I am getting it together!  I am revisiting the mermaid mani today.  I tried the mermaid mani for the Princess Challenge.  I said I wanted to try it with a green color and today is the day!

Mani Ingredients
Base color- China Glaze Deviantly Daring
Sponged holo- Kleancolor Holo Chrome
Stamping plate-Mash 39
Stamping polish- China Glaze Passion
Top coat- Seche Vite

I wanted to matte this so bad but it looked horrible.  I only matted two fingers before I changed my mind.  All the holo goodness was lost when the matte top coat was applied.  So glossy it was!  I think I like this color combo more than the first one I did.  The China Glaze polish is yet another untried.  I love it though!  Very pretty polish.

Stay tuned the next few days I will have a small giveaway.  Not sure how I will do it yet so any ideas will be appreciated.  I will not label it giveaway in the title line it will just be with a mani.  I am still deciding on what to add with it.  I can say the new Konad plate m100 will be in the giveaway.  I purchased two when I purchase mine and I will share with you guys!  I have quite a few polishes I love that I want to share as well!

What are your favorite colors for mermaid tail manis??  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Matte Monday: Movember...

Hello everyone!  I hope you are all doing great!  I had a great weekend!  Saturday I turned 30 years old!  I can't believe it!  I woke up to cupcakes in the shape of 30.  I love cupcakes!!  The hubby did a great job!  He also cooked me burgers!  They were so good!

Mani Ingredients
Base colors-Color Club Take Me to Your Chateau and Orly Angel Eyes
Stamping polish-Kleancolor Black
Image plate-Winstonia W109
Top coat-Seche Vite and OPI Matte Top Coat

I love this!  I should have researched the colors of Prostate cancer.  I was feeling like putting some blue on my nails though.  If you want a short general overview of what Movember is all about click here.  I have a cousin that went through treatment and is now cancer free!  I must say I am new to this type of cancer but I have learned a lot recently about this disease.

Do you know what the colors are for prostate cancer??  Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween...

Happy Halloween everyone!  I hope you are doing well!  Today's prompt is the last one for the month and it is Halloween.  As I stated in a previous post I am not good with Halloween mani's.  I was never allowed to celebrate it as a child and scary things...well...scare me.  So I am not into the bloody and scary mani's.  I tried to do something cute and Halloweenie.

Mani Ingredients
Base colors-OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Rimmel Wild Orchid
and Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Candy Corn
Quilting colors-Rimmel Wild Orchid and Sunset Orange
Stamping polish-Kleancolor Black
Image plates-Bundle Monster BM-H07, CF 08, A 48, and CF 01
Top coat-Seche Vite

This is a very busy mani!  I know there is a lot going on but I figured some cute skittle nails would fit the bill for this prompt!  Sorry this is being posted so late.  I literally just got home from taking the boys to trunk or treat at the church.  Baby Brother was "dressed up" (his onesie had a bow tie and looked like a suit jacket) and Big Brother was a ninja.  This morning he told me he would be a football player next year but it always changes by the time Halloween comes back around.

What did you or your kids (I consider kids to be animals too if you dressed them up) dress up as today??  What did you wear on your nails today??  Thanks for stopping by!

Matte Monday: Dark Brown...

Hello everyone!  I am a bit worn out today.  Its my first day back to work from my 2 week Fall Break Vacation.  I definitely enjoyed it!  Maybe a bit too much.  Lol!  Not possible I know.  I enjoyed playing with my kids, being home when the Hubby came home from work and of course playing with my polish!  What more could a girl ask for??

Mani Ingredients
Base colors-Essie Little Brown Dress and Sally Hansen Celeb City
Glitter accents-Sephora Don't Be Eggnog-ious
Stamping polishes-
Image plate-Konad m63
Top coats-Seche Vite and OPI Matte Top Coat

I love how the rose gold or copper glitter looks on top of the foily silver polish.  I knew I wanted to stamp with silver and rose gold so I wanted to see what it looked like to blend the colors on my accent fingers.  I know I always talk about how much I love the OPI Matte Top Coat but trying it on top of all these different polishes and finishes makes me love it even more!!

What do you think of mixing silver and gold  or silver and copper??  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Rainbow...

Hey everyone!  Hope your doing well!  Today's prompt is rainbow.  I did not feel like painting my nails all different colors and I was too lazy to do a gradient so I thought outside of the box.  I chose to do a holographic nail polish!  Hear me out first...I chose a silver polish to fully show all the holographic goodness, I got all the colors of the rainbow in one polish!!  I may have over thought it a bit right??  Oh well I am sticking with it.  LOL!

Mani Ingredients
Base color-Nfu-Oh 61
Stamping polish-Kleancolor Black
Image plate-Pueen 46
Top coat-Seche Vite

I love this!  Honestly I was only going to paint one hand and move on but loved it so much I went ahead and did a full mani!  So let's talk about this Nfu-Oh polish.  I was so happy when I found it for $8 on a nail blog sale but I have been ultimately slightly disappointed.  The consistency of the this polish is horrible.  It has clumps and it drags as you polish your nails.  It took 4 coats to look decent.  I know right?!?!  What in the world??  Then as you can see the sun was beaming bright and I only got a few spots of the rainbows.  I know its a picture but even in real life there was hardly any rainbows.  I should have used my Color Club silver holographic nail polish.  Those Color Club holo's are the best!!  I am sad that my dreams of how beautiful this polish is was shattered.  From what I have researched on the net there are four versions of this Nfu-Oh and every version after the first one went less and less holographic.  Unfortunately for me I have the third version.  Uggg...Well I had no idea about this before I purchased this polish.

What is your favorite holographic polish??  Do you have any of the versions of Nfu-Oh 61??  Thanks for stopping by!

Twin Post: Neon Love...

Hello everyone!  I have a special treat for you today!  Jocelyn from Fetching Konad Creations and I are doing another twin post!  This time we decided to pick an image plate to do a twin post with.  Jocelyn allowed me to pick the plate.  Of course we chose the new Bundle Monster plates to use in this twin post.

Mani Ingredients
Base color-Pop Beauty Pinky
Glitter accents-Hard Candy Black Tie Optional
Stamping polishes-Konad White and Kleancolor Black
Image plate-Bundle Monster BM-411
Top coat-Seche Vite

I love how this turned out!  This pink is super neon!  I didn't even use a white base coat under the pink.  Very beautiful and very opaque.  I have a soft spot for black and white glitter and to add my other favorite color which is pink underneath...Oh my goodness I am in love!  Please check out my nail polish sister's page and post!  Fetching Konad Creations!

What do you think about pink with black and white glitter??  Have you tried the new Bundle Monster Stamping plates??  Thanks for stopping by!

Leopard...

Hey everyone!  I hope you are having a great day!  Today's prompt is leopard.  I love my leopard images because I love that I can mix up the colors and make something beautiful!

Mani Ingredients
Base color-Revlon Snow Bunny
Stamping polish-Kleancolor Black
Dotting polish-China Glaze Ruby Pumps
Image plate-Konad m57
Top coat-Seche Vite

I love how this turned out!  I knew I wanted to do a black, white and red mani so I was happy to use it in this one.  The white is beautiful!  It is an untried and I love the shimmer to the polish!  I also love the shimmer in the Ruby Pumps!  It came more alive when I added top coat.  It turned into such a beautiful mani!

What are your favorite colors to see in a leopard mani??  Do you like to venture out to different colors or stick with the traditional colors??  Thanks for stopping by!
