Cameo Colours Lacquers: Days of the Week Undies Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Last week I showed you all the Blogger Beauties Collection by Cameo Colours Lacquers, if you missed it make sure to check it out! I promise there is a LOT going on in that post and there is something for everyone! Well today I have another brand new collection by Cameo Colours to show you, The Day's of the Week Undies Collection! These are all solid cremes that were created with the intention of using them as a base color for a funky glitter or some awesome nail art! All of them have excellent formulas, like all Cameo's creations, and excellent dry times as well. For this review I decided to pair each "undie" with a glitter topper that I either haven't used in a long time or one I had in my untrieds. Each mani is topped off with Nail Pattern Boldness Digital Flash. I hope you all enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you! 

Chevron Nail Art: "Nail Vinyls" Review

Press Sample

Hello my polished pretties! Today I have a mani that I hope you all will enjoy! I recently have been given the opportunity to try out and review Nail Vinyls! I was super excited to try these bad boys out. I love tape manicures but I don’t always have the right kind of scissor or the patience to try and cut the tape perfectly. This is the reason I have never tried the chevron pattern, I just convinced my self that I didn’t particularly like that design. I was lying to myself! 

I received 3 sets of vinyls: single chevron, regular chevron and straight.

I decided to try out the regular chevron first! I told you I was lying to myself about not liking that design. 

WingDust Collections "Blue Like Jazz"

Purchased By Me

Hello loves! Did anyone get a significant amount of snow last week or through the weekend? We only got a little, probably more ice than snow, but the schools sure took full advantage and took a couple of days off. LOL  

Well since its Tuesday you know what that means. Yes, it’s Try It On Tuesday! There are only 3 more Tuesdays left in 2013, can you believe that? I have been doing TIOT all year, missing a few here and there, and I really thought that by the end of the year I would have made a larger dent in my untrieds.  Unfortunately as a polish addict I tend to accumulate more than I actually get to try. I have done a lot better, I’ve cut back on my purchases drastically and have destashed a lot, which by the way I sill have some of those available for purchase on my storenvy shop! 

Today’s untried is a gorgeous shade from one of my all time favorite indies. I purchased this almost a year ago and have bought even more from Stephanie since then, but I just kept overlooking this one. I’m regretting that now because this is probably one of my new favorites from WingDust Collections! Though I tend to say that a lot when I try out a new polish that Steph makes! She seriously makes nail crack, she is my dealer and I‘m super addicted! LOL

Wing Dust Collections "Feel The Burn"

Gifted To Me

For today's Try It On Tuesday I am using an amazing polish from the Summer Collection by Stephanie of Wing Dust Collections that has not yet been released. As soon as I received the package of goodies and I saw this bad ass polish I had to wear it ASAP!!! This color is so intensely pink it looks like my fingertips have pink flames on them!! 

My Mint Mani For Talia Joy

Hello loves. I am so sorry I have been away, things have been busy. I  have been trying to keep up with what has been happening while I have been away and everyone knows that the beauty world lost one of it's most inspiring young stars, Talia Joy Castellano. She was only 13 years old yet she made a huge impact on so many lives by being a fighter. She was a bright, beautiful, wise and positive young woman who will be missed. 

Nicole from Nail Polish Wars had a great idea for anyone who was interested to create a mint manicure to show a little love and support to her family. I wanted to join in, even if I am a little late. Here is what I created. 

Happy 4th!

Press Sample/Purchased By Me

Just wanted to say Happy 4th to all my US followers and Happy Thursday to all my International followers!! Here is what I am wearing on my nails for the next few days:

 Zoya Chyna, Wing Dust Day Dreamer and Zoya Liberty.

Wing Dust Collections "Prize Winning Petunia"

Press Sample

Hey all! Today I FINALLY have this beauty from Wing Dust to show you! I have had it for a while, sorry Steph, but every time I would pull it out it would get cloudy and rainy. Especially lately, with all of the raining, tornadoes and flooding around here I was starting to wonder if there was a reason Mother Nature didn't want me to swatch this! I was dodging clouds all afternoon yesterday just to try and get these photos, but it was well worth the game and the wait because this is GORGEOUS!

Wing Dust Collections "Hope"

Press Sample

"HOPE: This is inspired by so many amazing people we met while in Mongu, by Hope Church, by the Hope Art program that employs and empowers women of the community. There were so many reasons to Hope, even in the midst of countless heart-breaking circumstances that we saw in our too short time there.

The good work being done by this organization was so encouraging in the midst of so much hardship. This polish can't even begin to capture the millions of emotions you feel in the moment, but it tries to convey a sense of what Hope might look like. It's bit hard to sum up in a few words... and definitely not a feeling you can capture in a bottle.. but this is my attempt. " -Stephanie of Wing Dust Collections

Wing Dust Collections "Sunset Glow" & "Bonfire Under the Stars"

Press Sample

Hello loves! Today I have a couple of beautiful shifty top coats from one of my absolute favorite Indies! 

Wing Dust Collections has some of the most amazing polishes and these are no exception! Both of these are shown as 2 coats over Finger Paints Black Expressionism topped with Sally Hansen Diamond Flash. The formula for each was excellent, they flow on tho the nail smooth as silk with no pulling or dragging and dry quickly. They would both look excellent over any color but dark colors make the shift more apparent. 

TIOT: Wing Dust Collections "Ocean Tears"

Purchased By Me

Welcome to week 16 of  Try It On Tuesday! Wow! 16 weeks into the year already, can you believe it? I have another blue beauty to show you all this week, following the theme of the month for Autism Awareness! I have been wanting Ocean Tears since it first was released and I thought I had missed my opportunity to get my hands on it when Stephanie said that she was going to be retiring some of her pretties. This one being a LE  made it hard to get during restocks. Well one of her last restocks I aimed for getting this one, I didn't care if I couldn't get any other shade I HAD to have Ocean Tears! I stalked Wing Dust's Etsy shop until it popped up! Yay! It is now mine!! Here's why I had to have this polish...

Wing Dust Collections "I Am Yours & You Are Mine" & "Space Cadet"

Sorry for the late post! I just wasn't feeling very well today. :( As you know, since I've been complaining about it so much, the weather has been less than perfect around here. I have a lot of holo polishes I have needed to swatch but the sun has been scarce. Well I woke up yesterday and I was very surprised by the sun! WOW! It's not a myth! So I hurried and swatched these 2 beauties from Wing Dust while I had the chance! 

Wing Dust Collections: Spring Has Sprung & Day On the Lake

Press Sample

It's Friday!!! Yay! Who's excited? Me that's who! I get to go to my first Cardinals game of the season! This makes me a happy happy girl, almost as much as polish makes me! Well, confession time, it makes me just as happy! I can't help it, I love baseball and I LOVE the Cardinals! Anyway, I'll stop blabbing about baseball. I have a couple more super awesome polishes from Wing Dust Collections to show you today! 

Wing Dust Collections: Cody Cat & Moonlight Sonata

How is everyone on this lovely Tuesday afternoon? I will have a Try it On Tuesday post up later today, for now I have 2 more beauties from Wing Dust Collections new Spring line! 

WingDust Collections: Day Dreamer (White Holo)

Press Sample

Tonight I have 1 of several new holographic polishes from Wing Dust Collections new spring line!
The sun has been quite fickle around these parts as of lately. It's kind of a game of tag that I've been playing with it! When it's out I rush to swatch a holo and just as soon as I am ready to photograph it hides! I swear the sun gods are getting a good chuckle from the whole fiasco! I did manage to get some decent sun this past Saturday, (right before it snowed about a foot!) and I really wanted to show this one to you all first, of all the holos I have to review for you, so I made sure I swatched this one before any others! Which turned out to be a good thing since I had someplace to go and didn't have time to swatch any others. 

Wing Dust Collections: Lilacs In June & Sleepless Summer Nights

*Free product for review*

It's Friday!! Whoop Whoop! Since it's Friday that means I will be taking the kiddies back to my brother and SIL. I will miss these little boogers but I will be so happy to get back to a normal (for me) schedule! 

Anyway, today I have a couple of brand new beauties from Wing Dust Collections. I had originally tried to get some swatches done of a couple of Stephanie's new holos but as soon as I got finished polishing the sun went away! Then once I removed it, the sun reappeared! Stupid sun! So I picked these 2 beauties! 

TIOT: Hard Candy Little Hottie & WindDust Dancing Queen

Just a quick post, I know it's a late one but I wanted to try out one of my new Itzy Glitzy Hard Candy polishes! So why not use one for my TIOT, yes I know it's not Tuesday anymore,

TIOT: Wing Dust Collections "A Day Without Rain"

Hi all! I have tons of swatching to do today so I have a quick post for Try It On Tuesday! I wanted to try out a beauty from one of my favorite Indie brands, Wing Dust Collections! I have several of these in my untried list that I have been wanting to show you all but with all of the review polishes, the challenge days and all of my personal things going on I haven't had time to get to them as quickly as I'd hoped, which is why I love, Love, LOVE Try It On Tuesday! 

TIOT: Wing Dust Collections "Snakeskin Shoes"

Running behind, what's new right!? Story of my life lately. I had this swatched earlier and when I was photographing it I swear I thought my camera was gonna reach around and smack me! There is so much going on in this polish that I have never ever EVER worked so hard to try and get halfway decent pictures! I still don't think I did this polish any justice at all, but here is my week attempt at showing you this stunner!
