Sorry! I forgot to post before I left for work!
This is gonna be a long week - we have kiddos this weekend and my "boss" is out of town which means I'm essentially taking her place and working more than double what I normally would. So needless to say, it's going to be much more difficult to do my nails this next week.
So anyway - here we have Zoya Veruschka with Essie Shine of the Times on top - followed by Hard Candy Matte Top Coat.
It's like a rainbow minus the blues and purples!
- Do as many manicures you want a week!! (once a week or one everyday)
- You can pay homage to as many or as little Nail Artists you’d like to!!
- You can do multiple manicures from the same Nail Artist if you wish!!
What must be included in EVERY post:
- Must link to the original post by Nail Artist!
- Must tag the Nail Artist!
- Include a Homage Month tag!
- All posts should start…
My Homage to [insert Nail Artist linking to original post]…so everyone knows it’s for Homage Month. Then anything you wish!
You can do this any month you want. I’m doing it for the month of April
Butt shots - pretty, right?!
Inside lamp light swatch of Sea Creature - TWO COATS!
Outdoor/Sunlight shots. These were all 2 coats with no underwear and 2 coats of Top coat (1 Gelous/1 Seche)
And then a token Matte top coat for good measure.
I'm so super pleased with this polish. It was very opaque, I mean look ma, no underwear!
It's a gorgeous sea green/blue packed with black, blue, teal, green and even pink glitters. It's so sparklicious in person I can't even explain it. It even looks good matte! It is thick though, and while I loved this to pieces, next time I will use a black base because I don't like the look of straggly glitter near my cuticles. It'll save this polish from getting used up so fast, too. That would make me sad.
orly - au champagne

What could it be?????
A box from Whimsical Pam!!!
A surprise box at that!
Hatched! And Kitty Glitter! Oh my!!
Impromptu bottle shots.
Booty shots - look at all that glitter in their buttcracks!!
Hehehehe.
How excited am I? I wanted to order Hatched so bad, and when I saw Pam say on her Facebook today that it was out of stock I almost cried! And now I have it. Oh happy day.
Pam is seriously very talented if you haven't figured that out by the several swatches of her polishes I have posted here. And above that, she is very professional, friendly and quick!
She also has an awesome new shade out called Seuss - so go check her out!
Adventures in Stamping - Black & White Challenge

Awww yeah. Those steps were a white splatter using acrylic paint with a wet paintbrush and flicking it onto my nails. The thumb and ring were stamped with Konad Special White Polish and a Cheeky plate (sorry, forget which right now) and then topped with Matte top coat.
I totally love how you can just see the hint of flakie under the black. I love dimension like that.
Hit or miss?
Been sick, so sadly I had to skip todays PCF challenge - in lieu of that I bring you a haul post from last week!
Here we have Sinful Colors Shirley & Buddy, Zoya Chloe Fleck Effects, Sally Hansen HD in Hue and Sinful Colors Whats Your Name, which I previously posted about.
Sinful Colors Shirley & Buddy - is it just me or does this remind you of the new Essie Pink-A-Boo from the Resort collection?
Shirley & Buddy Bottle & Swatch
Shirley & Buddy Swatch - 3 coats, no base.
Sally Hansen Hue Bottle Shot

Thoughts....
This is the sheerest of the 3 I bought. If you like a sheer look, 2 or 3 coats will get you through nicely. I personally liked the way it looked with and without undies.
Formula is spot on like any Whimsical polish, it's thick and that's to be expected with me as a jelly glitter.
This had the least amount of glitter of any of the Whimsical Ideas by Pam polishes I own, I had to fish and even then I couldn't really get those bigger hexes to pull out. I suggest turning your bottle upside down every couple of fingers to help that glitter rise up from the bottom. I loved this polish but would have loved it way more if I could get more of those bigger pieces out. I'm hoping to store it upside down for a week or so and try it again then.
1 coat of top coat smoothed her right out and even though I couldn't pull the big hex's out well, the sheer peach paired with the copper microglitters is still very very stunning.
