Zoya Pixie Dust "Vespa"

Hello Fiecreology followers!

It has been a very long time since I have made a post. This is mostly due to the fact that I have been out of the make up and polish loop, and I have not had a disposable income for cosmetics. 

However, with my brand-new job, and young professional lifestyle, my make up and polish interest has been restored.

Since I am not in high school anymore, and do not have all the time in the world to blog, I will be updating this blog from my phone. This will mean simple post with lovely Phone quality photos. 

Today I have for you Zoya's Pixie Dust in "Vespa." This polish came to me in a Zoya BOGO Texture Tuesday sale.

Applying the first coat of this polish, it appeared very sheer with little potential for buildup.

In the description on the website, Vespa is a number five on the opacity scale.

After applying the second coat the five level of opacity was clearly displayed.

This polish is a creamy pistachio base with silver and holographic scattered glitter.

Color Club "Fly With Me" and Finger Paints "Lemon Sour"

How are you all enjoying the new influx of makeup related posts? I know some of you must have been getting sick of seeing just nails. Today i have a fun and simple spring mani for you all using a new Color Club shade along with a Finger Paints new shade.

For this mani...

Color Club "Fly With Me"

Finger Paints "Lemon Sour"

Sally Hansen "Night Fright"

Doting tool

This mani consists of two coats of Color Club "Fly With Me" from the Spring 2012 "Take Wing" collection. On the tips i used Finger Paints "Lemon Sour" just using the brush in the polish. To top off this mani i used a large dotting tool and an opaque black for the dots connecting "Fly With Me" and "Lemon Sour."

Essie "Navigate Her" Pepperfied

Today i have for you two things I love. Essie "Navigate Her" more generally pistachio nail color, and frankens; my new creation "Pepperazi." 

 For this mani...

Essie "Navigate Her"

Color Club "New Bohemian"

Kattatonic "Pepperazi"

Bonita "Gold"

Essie "Navigate Her" Go Overboard 2012

This has been deemed one of my new favorite shades for the spring season. Essie "Navigate Her" is a light off minty green, more widely known as pistachio. This is two coats of the amazing formula offered in most all Essie polishes. 

 I first sponged on a bit of "New Bohemian" by Color Club, a bright blue turquoise that i don't think i have ever used before this day. In photos you can not see much of a color difference but in real life it made enough of a difference to me.

I used one coat of my very own "Pepperazi" over my now two tones green nails. Pepperazi is a black and silver glitter. Though it appears black in the bottle it spreads out and looks as it does in the photo to the left.

Finally I sponged on "Gold" by Bonita in chunky concentration on my tips. I found this overall mani to be, odd. I wasn't to crazy about the combo i created but i still love love love Navigate Her.

Essie "Sew Psyched" and China Glaze "Zombie Zest"

 

This month has help a variety of interesting events for me. To put it simply, this has been one hell of a month. One whirl wind after another. The events of this month are the reason why i feel no shame for my lack of posting as of late. 

 Polishes you'll be seeing today

Essie "Sew Psyched"

China Glaze "Zombie Zest"

Essie "As Gold as it Gets"

Essie "Sew Psyched" Go Overboard 2012

I enjoy weird colors, Sew Psyched is an amazing weird color. The photos of this shade are rather deceiving. In person i feel that this polish has more of a green hue to it rather than the intense gray that its showing through right now. The formula is fantastic and the dreamy creme finish is to die for. I'd encourage all of you to get out of your comfort zone a pick up a bottle of this to start your weird color collection.

China Glaze "Zombie Zest" Halloween 2010

I picked up this polish all random like at a swap meet. When i saw Zombie Zest i knew it had to be mine. Pictured here is one coat layered over "Sew Psyched." Zombie Zest is a dark mossy green infested with gold micro glitter. I have not tried this polish on it's own, but due to the sheer formula I'd recommend it be used over a solid base.

Essie "As Gold as it Gets" Luxe Effects 2012

I needed more gold for this mani. As Gold as it Gets was the key to ampping up the gold flecks and taking Zombie Zest to the next level. As Gold as it Gets is a lovely gold fleck polish that i have issues finding a pair for. This is undeniable a layering polish but will add an extra glam with out going over the tops. As usual, Essie produces fantastic formula and this polish is no exception.

"St. Patrick's Day" Feat: Sally Hansen "Black Tie"

Happy late St. Patrick's day! I had every intention in the world i putting this mani up on or before St. Pattie's, but it didn't happen. I got distracted and stopped caring, so now it's late. What else is new.

For this mani...

Sally Hansen "Black Tie"

Finger Paints "Comet's Collar"

Milani "Gold"

Sally Hansen "Sun Kissed"

Pure Ice "Wild Thing"

Orly "Lucky Duck"

China Glaze "Champagne Bubbles" (Not Pictured)

I used two coats of "Black Tie" and layered "Comet's Collar" over it. With a make up sponge i used "Champagne Bubbles" about half way down my nails. Milani "Gold" for the extra sparkle and gold goodness. 

On my thumb and ring fingers i made an orange band with "Sun Kissed" for my clovers to sit on. I used "Wild Thing" and "Lucky Duck" layered on top of each other to make my clovers stand out.

Barielle "Budda-ful" Sponged

Look how long my nails are getting! I know you all kinda don't care but i'm pointing it out any how. I do want to let you know that i am nearly complete in my China Glaze Electropop collection swatches which will be posted in March as the entire collection. For now, here are two rather random polishes.

For this mani....

CQ "Golden Green"

Barielle "Budda-ful"

This is two coats of "Golden Green" with a generous amount of "Budda-ful" sponged on a little less then half way down my nails. Since "Buddah-ful" is a nude base this combination did look rather odd in specific lighting. "Golden Green" some what disappointed me because i was expecting a more dramatic color shift.

"That's Dope" Feat: China Glaze "Gaga for Green"

Its not secret that i live in one of the most drug infested towns for miles around. Riverside had often been called "The Meth Capitol of the US." And my tiny town of Mira Loma has a medical marijuana dispensary on every corner. Some times even two on the same corner. Growing up here, it's been difficult for me to avoid the weed phenomenon, believe me, i was one of the biggest protesters of it for the longest time. Now in my life however, it still remains ever present. But this mani in particular, i wanted to do for my boyfriend, he's way more into all this then i'll ever be. When i was ordering new stamping plates looking for one with diamonds, it just so happened this plate came with the set.

 

For this mani...

China Glaze "Gaga For Green"

Orly "Le Chateau"

China Glaze "Blond Bombshell"

Essie "Over the Edge"

 

Dotting tool

Bundle Monster BM07

I began with China Glaze "Gaga For Green" from the Electropop collection. This is two coats and it's seriously one of my new favorite greens ever. It's a perfect creme. Perfect. I honestly didn't believe it at first. Gaga for Green in a bright kelly green that just about borders on neon but is still a mellow green. As you can see in the pictures above depending under what light you have it the greens in it change. the picture to the right is more accurate, but you'll also get to see this in the sun.

This is "Gaga for Green" after i was done decorating, hopefully you have a better idea of the true color by now, this is in natural Southern California sunlight ;)

I sponged on "Blond Bombshell" from the China Glaze "Eye Candy" collection released this past holiday season. I only sponged this along the tips and up one side. I followed that with dots of Essie "Over the Edge" twisting around the leaves.
