New 2013 Winter Collections from Vivid Lacquer

Oh boy!

This is super exciting for me to share with you all!

I have always loved Vivid Lacquers products. Her stamping plates never disappoint. And her polishes are amongst some of the most popular Indie polishes out there.

So, I was ecstatic to be chosen to share her new winter line with you all. Due to be released tomorrow December 2.2013. With exception of the Pinup collab. Being released very soon.

Every time I swatched a polish,I didn't want to remove it. They are just stunning.

So,without further ado...

The first set of 3 collections is the As You Wish Trio.

From left to right

Fire Swamp,Not A Lot of Money in Revenge and The Sea After the Storm.

What do think of these collections? I adore all these polishes. I can see myself creating some holiday nail art with these fore sure. So look out for those!

Hunger Games,Catching Fire Nails

My lovely friend is heading to the opening night of Catching Fire from the Hunger Games movie trilogy. She came over for Seahawks nails but mentioned she was heading to opening night of the movie. I leaped at the chance to do these nails.

My base is Sally Hansen Midnight in N.Y..

I then used the plastic wrap technique and layered my acrylic paint. 

I blobbed on red paint then the dabbed the plastic wrap on top. I went over the the red with Orange and continued the same process.

Added Seche Vite top coat.

Then I hand painted on the mocking jay pin with white,gold,yellow and black acrylic paint.

Having read all the books and seen the first movie,I am very excited to see the next installment of the Hunger Games.

I hope you like these. Its been awhile since I have done nail art. It was so enjoyable to get really into these.

Blue And Green Friday! Rain City Nail Lacquer in Seattle Team Spirit!

I am super stoked to share this swatch with you all!!!

Our city is so very proud of the job our Seattle Seahawks are doing this season. Not only on the field but off as well. They are very involved in our community. And as a result, they have gained so many fans. I'm to say I am a 12th man!

Rain City Nail Lacquer has made us Seahawks/nail art fans a really wonderful polish.

Its called Seattle Team Spirit.

For this swatch I sponged on some neon green from my NFL Seahawks duo and my Morgan Taylor in All White Now.

Then topped it off with Rain City in Seattle Team Spirit.

Love,love,love this glitter!

large neon green hex, medium holo hex and small blue hex. Along with some white rectangles and diamond holo.

What do you think guys!?

Krystal and I both love paisleys. So that's what we picked!
