More of the Wet N Wild Summer Getaway Set and Vogue Fantastic in Morado


I think it's been taking me too long to update this blog but I promise that I will be updating it. I am so lazy editing pictures but when  I do I kinda do them in bulk so when I write my post they're kinda in bulk as well ^_^

I'm going to continue with the review of the goodies I won from  Sekhmet's Purple Castle



  
 This is Sage in the City which is from the Wet N' Wild Summer Getaway Set
I've said on my previous post that this polish would look great over black so that's what I exactly did here.
I used one coat of black as base then applied two coats of Sage in the City.
This green really pops, it's almost a metallic finish.


 
 I love pinks and greens combo so I decided to use this baby pink crackle polish on top. The crackle polish is thin so the pink didn't take over the whole nail and it dries to a matte finish.


After one coat of top coat here it is looking sweet and shiny. I love this color combo but I barely do it on my nails. The contrast of the metallic green and pink is so pretty! ^_^





First I want to say sorry because my phone's camera is not giving me a break and I can not take a true color of this nail polish, aaarrrggghhh!!!
Buffy the Violet Slayer is a deep electric violet. Once on your nails it is so mesmerizing, every time I would look at it it feels like I'm looking at someone else's nails. I know it sounds crazy hahaha!


On this pic I sponged in a dark semi metallic blue then applied an orange flakey like glitter, I was hoping that there would be a contrast but it isn't very visible on pic. I was trying to take a pic of it in a well lit area so I won't have to use the flash but my phone doesn't want to show the violet still *sigh*


 Here I did some skull stamping using an orange nail polish, unfortunately my top coat turned the orange into a murky shade good thing it didn't melt the copper gold pen I used in the crown.


Here's a better pic I think ^_^



I cheated a bit here :)
I first applied two coats of jelly orange polish then used one coat of 9.0.2.1.Orange
I really like this orange polish because of the gold shimmers, even if it's sheer it's great for using as a topper.


  
I did a Halloween theme with it! ^_^




 I'm going to do a little break from the Summer Getaway set....
I used two coats of this polish which I believe is a dupe of a Sweet Nail Polish brand, the number is 04.
I only used two coats, I didn't mind that it was streaky because I've decided to use it as a base for Vogue Fantastic in Morado.


Here it is! I love this combo because the purple really popped!
Like most crackle/shatter polishes the finish is matte so....


I used two coats of top coat just to smoothen the surface. 


Just because I then added a coat of my favorite gold glitter polish that after a few minutes I realized that it was a bad idea, hahaha!
Next time I'll just leave the shatter polish alone ^_^

 

I still have a few more polishes to review and I've made some new manis that I hope to post soon.

Thanks a lot for hanging out here! ^_^

Mash 43 Image Plate





I always love full nail floral patterns, maybe because they're so easy to use haha :)
Circle bubbles sooo cute, I wish I had pastels that are opaque enough for this.
The stripes reminds me of bar codes, it might work ;)
Oooh reptile pattern again, maybe I could do pastels with this too. Sorry I'm still into pastels til now.
Hibiscus are always pretty, maybe next summer.

Mash 38 Image Plate




From here on we'll have the full nail design image plates from MASH.
The one that looks like random streaks looks to me like a fog or sunset sky design, like that one ^_^
Checkered design is quite common... hhmmmm come to think if it I don't think I've used any of my checkered designs on my nails. Tsk.
The full nail hearts is cute kinda reminds of RA114.
Heart monitor line so cool!
 Oh and the spider, it'll be great for Halloween ^_^

Mash 35 Image Plate




I love the Fleur de lis ^_^
The lotus looks pretty too but the other designs are just okay to me.
I see a lot of dolphins on image plates, I guess it's a favorite for those who likes to make beach themed manis. The scorpion, it's nice and different you'll never know when this might come in handy hahaha!

Mash 33 Image Plate




Okay it took me a while to continue my reviews on the MASH plates, I've been busy lately and I had to do a bit of research on the images of this plate.
These are zodiac signs, I'm not very familiar with them and I don't like to put designs (characters or symbols) on my nails that I don't know the meaning of.


So in this plate we have:
Aries
Pisces
Aquarius
Cancer
Gemini
Taurus

Let's not forget the uber cute shooting star ^_^

Mash 32 Image Plate




Nice random plate from MASH :)
The compass like north star would be nice for making map themed nails
love the quarter moon
cute small beehive print
oooohhh a key
ladybug - nice detail
Dollar sign (we don't need your money, money, money... Jessie J in the house!) LOL
Leaves are nice kinda reminds of those one stroke flowers or leaves which I don't know how to do.

Mash 31 Image Plate




I love these smileys!!
They look like the emoji icons on my phone ^_^
The one with an x for the eyes reminds me a lot of the Nirvana logo but that one has a tongue sticking out. I think this ones I can use on my nails without looking too cute.

Mash 30 Image Plate




Lucky cat, hahaha!
Such a cute plate this one, I've used the cactus and it looked so sweet  ^_^
Really looking forward to use the other designs.

 Right now I'm doing some experimenting with glue as a base for glitter polishes, if it works out I'll never be afraid to use glitters or flakies ever again. Just think of all the stamping designs with glitter as base! Really hoping for the best :)

Mash 29 Image Plate




This is the only plate in this set that has a skull image design, I guess at least they included one but it kinda looks generic.
Love the stars and the feather/leaf design. The swirly pattern looks nice too but I'm not sure how to use it. The tribal design looks cool but I never know how to use those designs as well :/
I guess I will have to Google pics before I try them out.

Mash 28 Image Plate




Sorry for the crappy swatch :(

Awesome looking monster teeth design, it's going to be awesome for Halloween or it could be used for banderitas design or teepee houses ^_^
The flower looks so sweet, hearts are cute, the ribbon is just okay for me and the butterfly is pretty, nice details on the lower part of the wings.

Mash 27 Image Plate




I love everything on this plate!
Another leaves french tip that I wish was a full nail design instead. The stars, great for a themed mani *ideas flowing through my head...*
Puppy dog looks cute, diamond is always a win... will have to use this plate, real soon. *looks over to other plates that hasn't been used...sigh*

Mash 26 Image Plate




First image plate from the second set of MASH. Most are french tip designs with one floral design in the middle. I noticed that the french tip star is more oval shaped than the others which I think is kinda cool. ^_^
The maple leaves design is going to be great this fall, I would have preferred it be a full nail design though *sigh*
The scales.... hmmm it's a bit weird for me because usually the design goes horizontal... Oh well...

Red Angel 121 Image Plate




Last plate for this set, it's nice but not one of my top favorites.
One image, the one below the butterfly in the middle looks similar to the one in RA119 but not the same okay.
I'm just happy that all the images here work specially those that have thin lines.

Red Angel 120 Image Plate




These are almost full nail designs, though they don't cover the whole of the nail it will cover most of it.
Unique designs again which is awesome, nobody wants repeats from other sets right?
I have only love for this plate ^_^

Red Angel 119 Image Plate





Such a majestic looking crown, it's big though it might only fit my thumb.
I like the snowflake/flower design, it's big as well but it's different from other ones that I do own. ^_^
Butterfly is cute too it looks like a tattoo really.
Yeah, two thumbs up for this plate.

Red Angel 116 Image Plate




Floral and leaves... love it!
The designs here are nice and unique. Cool looking rose and the leaves are cute too ^_^

Red Angel 118 Image Plate



This one although it looked like it swatched well has a shallow engraving too.
It was difficult to show the fine lines that connects the lily pad when I tried to swatch it, I could only make it show up when I used a stamping polish.
The rest were okay as long as you scrape lightly.
Love the designs on this one as well but my problem is that I'm not artistic enough to think of a good color or image combo :/

Red Angel 117 Image Plate




Emoticons plate ^_^
As you can see these are not your usual smiley faces though they are quite different I'm not much of a fan because I might not be able to stand it long enough on my nails. It's a fun plate to have though, maybe younger nail art enthusiasts would have more fun with this one.
