Sunday Swatch-o-rama feat. Cuttin' Edge Nails!

Howdy Do, Dahlings!

 

Today I have another batch of beautiful polishes

from Cuttin' Edge Nails to share with you!

Some were sent for swatching & review,

while others were bought  be me or were gifts from Sara.

This is da required legalese shiz cuz me & Sara be all cool about it.

 

All swatches are 2 coats of color over clear liquid latex

with SH Dries Instantly top coat, unless otherwise noted

 

Let's get this polish party started!

 

 Angel Wings

This is a subtle shimmery topper unless worn over dark undies.

I used black undies for this pic.

It adds a rich pinky-purple shimmer

& scattered holo rainbows to any polish!

 

~~~

 

 Girls Will Be Girls

This is a GREAT summer fun polish!

The milky white jelly base is buttery smooth

& the neon rainbow of butterflies

& assorted hex bits playing tag

with larger silver holo hexs means eye candy

both indoors & out in da sun having fun.

You may need a 2nd layer of top coat

if any of da butterflies try to flutter their wings.

 

~~~

 

 

 Holo Top Coat

This is da bottle you should be grabbin'

when you want to add lil rainbows to ANY mani!

This is one coat over Girls Will Be Girls

& you may recognize it from last week's Tart mani.

 

~~~

 

 Silver Bells

Another subtle polish unless worn over darker undies.

shown over black here

It's jam packed to da point of no fishing required

to load your nails with asst silver holo bits, shards of iridescent

& lil white bows in a luscious shimmery blue buttery smooth base.

It's like instant winter on your nails...without risking frostbite!

 

~~~

 

 Tinkbell

Needing some poke your eyes out bright green holo fun?

Than you NEED this polish!

It does need 3 thin or 2 thick coats for opacity

shown here with 2 commando coats

or you could put on some white undies to make it go WOW.

 

As an added bonus, when you order Tinkbell,

you get a mini of You Can Fly!

 

~~~

 

You Can Fly

This topper is stuffed full of neon flutterbys, largish silver holo hexes

& lots of blue micro bits!

Minimal fishing required to add some lost boys fun to any mani.

A mix of things & a lesson learned!

Hello Dahlings!

 

Today's mani is a lesson learned.

 

Here's what I did...

 

 I really loved wearing this mani!

I even did it on both hands!

 

 I started with 2 yummilicious coats of Cupcake Polish Eleanor.

It's both a strong linear holo AND a pink to blue duo chrome.

Lesson learned?

Don't wear a beauty like this for undies.

Why?

 

 This is why.

I added one coat of Ciate' Risky Business

& completely hid all that Eleanor had to offer.

Risky Business is gorgeous with it's sheer silver shimmer base, 

strong purple shift & blue glitters,

but it would have been fine over plain black undies.

  

 At best, Eleanor gave the base a gunmetal appearance.

I really did have fun playing with da shifting colors!

 

 How pretty is that?

 

 After 2 days of just playing with da shift,

I added stamping using a prototype black stamping polish

from Cuttin Edge Nails with my Creative Shop Stamper

& Messy Mansion plate MM50.

Both d stamper & da plate are from Beautometry

where I should just hand over my cc

& call it good cuz I want pretty much everything they offer in plates.

 

I didn't want to take this off, but after 4 days,

I need to do some swatching & other manis.

So goes da life of a nail blogger!

 

>^. .^<

 

I don't see any cats around here.

Me either.

CNT 52 week PNM ~ Patchwork &/or Bright & Happy

Hello Dahlings!

 

This week da Tarts are doing patchwork &/or bright & happy manis!

 

I did this...

 

 Bright & happy neon flutterbys from Cuttin Edge Nails!

 

 I started with 2 coats of squishy milky based Girls Will Be Girls

I did have to fish & dab a wee bit
to get da butterflies to come out & play,

but no probs getting lots of those bright neon
& silver holo bits on mah nails.

I added a layer of SH Dries Instantly over GWBG last night before bed.

This morning I added a coat of Cuttin Edge Holo Top Coat

followed by a coat of Seche Vite to seal in da happy goodness.

Not only did this topper add soft scattered holo rainbows
 to Girls Will Be Girls, it also didn't gray da white base color!

This is always a bonus when using holo tcs.

 

 Lookee!

We have REAL SUN today!

Granted, our sunny season is just getting started,

but where I live, we only get maybe 55 full sun days a year.

I don't mind this lack of day glow as I sunburn easily

& our normally gray weather suits me just fine,

but I do like to look out da windows

& see da bright & happy colors of da world when da sun shines.

 

>^. .^<

 

 With da sun comes Big Green Egg season!

Technically, Mr Inky could grill & smoke nibbles

all year round in our mildish weather,

but he seems to have an aversion

to standing in da rain to set da egg up

& tend it just to make me some uber excellent noms.

Men, go figure?

 

Me no likey you not sharing meat noms, Meowy!

 

Thanks for stopping by

& please go share da luvies with da other Tarts!

 I used 2 coats of Cuttin Edge Flowers In The Attic

over white undies & then hand placed da butterfly glitters.

CNT 52 week PNM ~ Paisley & Taupe

Hello Dahlings!

 

This week da Tarts are showing manis featuring paisley & taupe.

 

Paisley has been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

It originated in Persia (now Iran) & you can learn more about it HERE.

 

Taupe is one of da weirder colors out there.

It's somewhere between brown & grey.

It's French & originally was used to describe the color of French moles.

the digging critters, not the growths on skin kind

 

Lecture over.

Here's what I did with this week's prompts...

 

 Meh.

I used 2 coats of Orly Faint of Heart for my taupe

& stamped using Mentality Black Opaque

& my Creative Shop Stamper

I finished with my usual coat of Seche Vite.

 

 I used this generic XL plate 'I' that I got on Amazon ages ago.

 

That's it. That's all I got.

 

>^. .^<

 

Mole? I want one to play wif!

I'll hug him & squeeze him & call him George...

right before I eats him!

I managed to capture most of it's beauty in this pic

Do you like squishy jelly with metallic fuchsia shards & purple holo bits?

Then this is da polish for you!

I put it on over white undies to show you how pretty da base color is,

Wear it over black & da sparkly bits will POP!
