Review: Ooh La Lacquer - Hypnotize

Sponsored

Today I get to share this wonderful Indie nail polish called Hypnotize.  It's from my dear friend Nastassia's shop, Ooh La Lacquer, who sent it to me for review purposes.

Hypnotize is a black and white small hexagon-roundish glitter that has a clear base.

You could either wear this by itself or over a base color/design.  If you want to use it by itself to achieve opacity it will take about 2 to 3 coats.  Keep in mind if you are applying it thin, meaning swiping the excess off, it will take more coats to achieve it.

The above picture was with two coats only by itself.  It glides on smoothly, and you do not have to fish for the glitters.  It also has an amazing dry time!

For this look I actually wanted to do a full nail look of it.  Just to show you how mesmerizing this black and white glitter could be!

Hypnotize is coated by itself except for my ring finger, which has NYC New York Color - Sidewalkers as a base color and only one coat of Hypnotize.  It looks like it has so much depth when you wear it by itself.  It just draws you in and makes me think of either black pepper and salt mixture or cookies & cream.

All of Ooh La Lacquer bottles are full sized at 15ml and BIG 3-Free.  Not to mention Nastassia sells them only for $5 a piece!  So if you are interested in trying an Indie polish make sure to give her line a shot!  

What do you think of Hypnotize?  Have you tried one of her polishes yet?

Review: Black Rose Torus and Pearl Ring

Sponsored

Today I have another jewelry accessory from BornPrettyStore to share with you.  It is a Black rose torus & pearl ring, that also comes in a gold version.  This product was received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes only.

How beautiful does that rose torus pearl ring look?  The pearl and crystal rhinestone enhanced the design of this alloyed ring more.  The mesh twisted rose is actually very sturdy.  When I first saw the ring, I thought it was going to be flimsy and come off very easily.  All of the decorations are secured very securely into the twisted alloy ring.

You are able to adjust the ring by spreading it apart to make it bigger or squeeze them together to make it tighter.

As I tightened the ring, I shook my hand to see if it would fall off or shift a bit while wearing it.  Some rings that I have, for example the ones where the band is basically elastic with metal clasp over it, still shifted left to right a bit.  It doesn't feel heavy at all.

The Rose Torus & Pearl Rings are gorgeous and super budget friendly!  BornPrettyStore sells them only for $2.76 a piece!  What an awesome steal for that price!  When I was discussing it with hubs he thought I actually paid at least $10 sum for it!  Simply just gorgeous!

Don't forget you could use my code LARJ61 to get a 10% off your purchase!

BornPrettyStore carries a lot of wonderful jewelry accessories that aren't too pricey!  So make sure to check them out while you are shopping for your nail art goodies!

What do you think about this ring?  Have you bought any accessories from BPS yet?

Seven Deadly Sins Challenge: Gluttony

For this week's Seven Deadly Sins Challenge the theme is Gluttony.  We had a choice between doing spun sugar nails, what makes our stomach growl, or do both of them.  Like I told you in my previous challenge, I will only be doing one.   I went with spun sugar nails and decided to do my typical way of doing them.

At first I wanted to do pastels since well it is spring, but I wasn't really feeling it as much.

The nail polishes I used are:

• China Glaze Lemon Fizz
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac
• China Glaze Refresh-mint
• Zoya Kristen
• Milani Nail Lacquer U Pinky Swear

So like I said I just wasn't feeling pastels at that time.  I ended up removing it the next day and decided I would use the nail polishes from the Duri Cosmetic's Spring Collection to do a spun sugar look.  You could see my review and more details about it HERE.

Nail Polishes used:

• Satin Treat
• Afterhours
• Call Me Maybe
• Dream Catcher
• Showstopper 
• One Night Only

Which one do you prefer?  Have you done spun sugar nails yet?

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: Punk Style Heart Crystal Silver Nail Ring

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you another jewelry accessory that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  On the site they call it, Punk Style Round Crystal Diamond Fake Nail Ring, but I will tell you why I put "heart" later on in my post.  If you still have not checked out the jewelry accessories section on BornPrettyStore, you are missing out on some wonderful goodies on there.  BPS even just released some couple rings on their site!

I ended up receiving the silver plated one and thought it was a neat addition to my jewelry accessories stash. I don't have any nail rings at all so this was my first, and I was already impressed how it looks.

Review: Ooh La Lacquer - Grosky lil' Beotch

Sponsored

Recently my sweet friend Nastassia, owner of Ooh La Lacquer, sent me over some of her Indie polishes for me to review.  I was so happy when I received it, and was so distracted by the glitter that circulated within the bottle, I put all the other nail polishes I got that day to the side.

So for today I decided to show off to you Grosky lil' Beotch, which is part of her Mean Girl collection.  The above picture are at different angles I took of the bottle.  Look at that glittery yummyness!

What I loved about this Grosky lil' Beotch other than the glitters, is that you could build up on this product.  You could either keep piling up on it to achieve the look you want or use just a little bit.  It's totally up to you!

Review: LINGMEI Long-Lasting Two-Headed Dual-Use Eyeliner

Today I have an interesting item that I received from KKCenterHk for review purposes.  It's a LINGMEI Long-lasting Two-headed Dual-use Eyeliner [LM-1950], that has a nifty packaging.

How pretty does that look?  I am such a sucker for cute packaging and the gradient between the blue to yellow is just a great addition to it.
