Some polishes should just be left alone....

Now, I know it's not normal for me to NOT do some kind of nail art, but this polish doesn't need it. Okay, so as you may know, Sally Hansens Prisms are some of my fave polishes EVER! Oh how I wish these would be re-released :(  I have managed to collect quit a few this past year, all from eBay, lol. Oh and thanks to Kris from the Lucid Bubble, for her post on this. Once I saw it, I had to add it to my Prisms collection.
This one is just as beautiful as the others. Can you see all the colors!! Do I really need to say more about this one?? I'll just let the pics do all the talking. This is 1 coat of Sally Hansen Lilac Aqua over Orly Purple Velvet.

Multi Colored Checkered Mani...

Yep another checkered mani, lol. I wanted to use my Sally Hansen Prism Turquoise Opal again. Man, I cannot get enough of this polish! Just sooo many colors in one polish. Since these have been discontinued for years, I got mine, and a few other Prisms off of eBay, at a very decent price. Then one of my BFF/neighbors, Meghan, stopped over while I was in process of this, and suggested the OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, for the squares. Even though I've used it a bunch lately, I agreed, and she was totally right!!! Then later on I decided to add a top coat, for shine!
You can find the tutorial here, that I did.



Here is Turquoise Opal over black. See.....so many colors!





Here is where I added the Lincoln Park After Dark Matte for the squares. Ignore the dent in my middle finger, lol. Not quit sure how that happened. Grrrrrr





Now with the top coat! I love SV, it evens everything out!





This pic is when I tried it out with the flash on my camera. I loved this pic!

Pure Ice Busted......

I went to Walmart a while ago, and was able to pick up a few polishes, and loose glitter, one can be seen in these pics. Well I grabbed Busted, and knew it had to be layered over a black. Look at it, pink, purple & green and yellow! Pure Ice has so many great polishes that are perfect for layering!

Sally Hansen Burgundy Orchid & Tape

Oh how I love my Prisms (sigh) It's safe to say, they are my fave polishes. Just so many colors, packed into one bottle. As you may know, when I use mine, I layer them all over black. I've done this first design before using the Turq. Opal Prism, but wanted to try it with Burgundy Orchid.







Then later next day, I believe, I still had it on my purse, and wanted to try stripes with the 2. I love it!

Revlon Crystal Ball.....

Okay, here is the pink one I was referring to in my previous post. Oh how I love these! I wish I could find out what other colors came out with this collection, or even when they were released.  Anyways, this is 3 coats, and while coughing and taking pictures, I managed to cause a ding in my pointer finger *high fives self* lol. Normally that would drive me crazy, but with all my coughing, I was happy to do this mani with no other major issues.




Revlon Magical......

Now, I got this and Crystal Ball, a pink one from the same collection, off of ebay. I had never heard of them, but when I came across the bottle pics, I was in love. This is Magical, literally, lol, and I love it. I know there are slight brush strokes, but I don't care!! Plus the purple is way more visible IRL. I did layer this over a black, but only because I expected it to be way more sheer than it was. I'm pretty sure I could have done without the base. I will try and post the pink one, this afternoon, or tomorrow morning.

Sinful Swatches....Part 2

Okay, so here are the rest of the Sinful's that I got in my order. If you missed Part 1, I posted it this morning :)

This is Morph Marie. I did layer it over black, but this was only 1 coat





This one, I know isn't new, but I decided to order it and try it
It's Bali Mist
I took so many pictures just so I could show you all the pretty colors in it. This too is 1 coat over black








Agaci,looked way better in the picture and even the bottle.
I figured it would be sheer, so I first did a coat of China Glaze Recycle. Now, maybe if I would have done 2-3 more coats, I would like it better, but I'm just meh about it.




















Last but not least is Kansas. Now I HAD to get this one, and the only reason I did, is cause it's my home state. Wow, I miss that place. I haven't had a chance to swatch it yet, sorry. AKA - Umm....I may have misplaced it, eeeek.


I got these all of of their site, and haven't myself seen any of these, other than Bali Mist in stores.
