Pure Ice Golden Ticket

Remember this post?  Now time to see it in action!  While the original release called this color "Ice Strobelight" (or at least that's what I thought), I was told it's actually called "Golden Ticket."  I'll update in case I'm wrong.  ^_^  This is a nice gold glitter - nice coverage which I liked a lot.  I used a base of Poshe, 2 coats of polish and a top of Seche Vite.

Pretty sun pictures!  You can almost see a bit of tiny red glitter in there!

Here in the shade you can see more of that red glitter in the bottle and the polish is definitely nicely opaque.

Finally indoors with the flash and this is a nice metallic gold instead of an antique gold or rose gold.  No green tint in it either.


I will be reviewing the Black Crackle later - you can purchase this duo for $6 straight from Bari Cosmetics here.  Read more about Bari's Cosmetics including Pure Ice on their Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter.

deborah lippmann at Kate Spade

Please enjoy the following press release from Deborah Lippmann, this time at Kate Spade.  All images courtest of TLCommunications!

Backstage at Kate Spade Fall 2012

This season, Kate Spade envisioned a bold and fun nail, and Deborah Lippmann came up with the perfect play on nail art. You’ll be seeing spots as the models flaunt a pretty polka‐dot nail that is feminine and long with a rounded tip. The base is Fade to Black, an opaque vinyl record black, topped with sporadic polka dots in I’m Not Innocent, a clean creamy peach, to add the perfect pop of color.

$16 each, available at www.deborahlippmann.com

Poshe Nails Fast Drying Base Coat Update

Update from my last Poshe post!  I've been using Poshe fast drying base coat under all my manicures and on my bare nails since 18 February.  Today is now 18 March and not only did my nails grow nice and long but my manicurist told me that they felt stronger than she's ever felt - and I've been going to her around once every 6 weeks for over a year now!  While I loved Rejuvacoat by Duri, they didn't make my nails as strong as Poshe has!  So, here are my nails on 1 March - right before I had a manicure done.

Looking lookie!  I'm pretty darn pleased with myself.  And with Poshe!

In my press release post of Poshe products, I had some ladies share that where Seche Vite has failed them, Poshe has redeemed itself.  You can see their website as to where to purchase their products in the US (my local Sally's has them!).  I've seen the price range from $5.50 to $7 for their base coat.

NOTD: 15 March 2012

DARN IT.  It's the Ides of March and I don't have a witty manicure to show you.  Nor did I have one on Pi[e] Day.  However, I do have a NOTD that I wore on 26 February that I was pretty proud of.  My boyfriend actually picked this combination out!


This is one coat of Dr.'s REMEDY Revive with one coat of deborah lippmann Ruby Red Slippers.  At first I just topped with CND Air Dry and I got the following:

HUNGRY GLITTER.  To smooth it out, I put a layer of Lynnderella Glitter Tamer, then another coat of CND Air Dry to seal the deal.  


Now I'm just going to post pictures.  It's late, I have to be up early, yadda yadda.  Please note that when you mix these two colors, you get a slight purple tint!  It was so lovely to see - and very unexpected.

That's all she wrote folks.  Until next time!

Dr.’s REMEDY® Enriched Nail Polish is available for $16 online at http://www.remedynails.com or by calling 1-877-323-NAIL.  You can "Like" them on Facebook.
