Happy New Year Chromey goodness

Happy New Year to everyone.

I have HUGE plans for this evening.  As a mum of a a 3 year old and a nearly 1 year old, I'll be in bed by 10:30, I'll sleep in the new year and be up at around 6:30.  I'm such a partly animal aren't I!

Despite my plans, I did put on something with a bit of zing.  This is an older polish. Sally Hansen Canary Diamond Chrome Nail Makeup.  For some stupid reason, I never got China Glaze Millennium (I only got 2030), thinking I had a good enough silver chrome.  This is nice, but I don't think it has as much of a mirror finish as Millennium.




This was only one coat over Orly bonder.  I like Orly bonder as a base for chrome polishes because it leaves a really shiny base.  Chrome polishes always show every imperfection in the nail, so a nice shiny base helps it be smooth and glossy.

Posted by Unknown on Friday, December 30, 2011

Have a great 2012! Xoxo, TNS!


This will be our last post for 2011!
What are your 2012 resolutions?
Before setting them, are your resolutions for 2011 all checked?
Don't worry!
If they are not completed, you still have exactly 9 and a half hours to check all of them!
Ending the year 2011 feeling satisfied is the best way to welcome 2012!
Today is the last Saturday of this year! Do what you always wanted to and start afresh tomorrow!
How was your 2011 like? Good or bad? Happy or sad?
Do you wish for it to end quickly or you can't bear to say goodbye to 2011?
What lessons have you learnt this year?
Many many questions will run through your mind today. Especially today (haha) because people around you will post these questions on Twitter, Facebook, their pages and EVERY WHERE ELSE.
How many questions did you manage to answer as stated above?
Is it just another year or you are planning something big for 2012?

Review on Pretty and Polished Sparkle Tattoo Collection

CLICK ON THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE

I am sooo excited about today's post! 

Chelsea from the Etsy shop, Pretty and Polished, asked me to review her new collection, Sparkle Tattoo, which will be available for purchase on January 1st! So only a couple more days! The above and below photo shows the five polishes in the collection. My favorites from the collection are Sparrow and Inked! 

Update: The glitter in this polish was easy to remove with polish remover and no tin foil method or struggling..

I tried a bunch of different combos on a nail art wheel, so I thought I would share!

I originally wanted to try a combo with OPI Alpine White and Pretty and Polished Sparrow, but my white polishes did not want to cooperate. 

So I did this instead! This is two coats of China Glaze Let's Do It in 3-d (which I purchased from Chelsea as well. She is awesome at dusty hunting. You can check her blog for current HTF polishes that are available.)

Then I added one coat of Pretty and Polished Sparrow. No top coat.


Overall, the polishes are gorgeous!!! I had fun playing with them.  The dry time is average and the application is smooth. In my opinion, the perfect amount of glitter comes out on the brush for each coat. My favorites from the collection are Sparrow and Inked. The combinations with this collection are endless!
