This is another jaw dropper from Amy's new collection <b>The Good Parts</b>: Polish inspired by erotic fiction from Fanny Hill to 50 Shades. <b>If it pleases you</b> is a deep plum (bruised colored) linear holographic. This polish was inspired by <i>The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty</i> by Anne Rice, originally published in 1983 under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure. It's a kinky fairy tale, telling us what happens after the prince wakes Sleeping Beauty, though not with a kiss in this tale... If it pleases you is what Beauty is taught to answer questions by her masters. I haven't read this book though it is now on my "to read" list, this polish definitely pleases me!! ;)<br />
<br />
If It Pleases You is shown with 3 coats with a thin layer of Hong Kong Girl to top it off although full coverage was achieved in 2 coats. Application was a dream with no issues whatsoever. I wish every polish was so easy! This was another love at first coat for me. I have a lot of holo polishes but this one is unique. I don't have another that comes even close to this color.<br />

<br />
<b>Laters, Baby</b> is a charcoal linear holographic with holo sparkle added for extra holo goodness. This polish is inspired by <i>50 Shades of Grey</i> by E.L. James, published in 2011.<br />
Pictures are shown with 2 coats and you can pick up your bottle <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/126794105/laters-baby-holographic-full-size-nail?" target="_blank">here.</a><br />
<br />
Laters, Baby applied like a dream. No problems at all. I love the formula of this polish but there's something I loved even more than that. The look of it on my nails. It's a beauty in the bottle but truly came alive on my nails. The linear holo is so strong in this as you can see from the pictures but Amy knocked it out of the ballpark with the added holographic sparkle!<br />
<br />
I'm truly in love with Laters, Baby and wasn't surprised when it gave me a hologasm.<br />
<br />
Brace yourselves ladies...<br />

So many of you already know what I'm talking about but very few have seen the gorgeousness of this polish in person. Rescue Beauty Lounge completely outdid themselves with this color. If I had to pick one favorite color from their entire line... it would be Aqua Lily.<br />
<br />
There has been much discussion on whether or not the pink shimmer shows up on the nail and I am here now to tell you YES! You most definitely see the pink shimmer, easily.<br />
<br />
Now lets get to the pics...<br />

<br />The Lacquered Up Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00717568376559146341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270917062987633858.post-6896309024556130672012-04-01T21:13:00.000-08:002012-04-01T21:14:23.213-08:00Autism AwarenessMonday, April 2nd is Autism Awareness day so to show my support, I painted my nails blue. This cause was brought to my attention by <a href="http://pointlesscafe.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pointless Cafe</a> blog. I have a close friend with a son who has Autism so this cause is close to my heart. I would like to ask any of you who can, to paint your nails blue in support as well. Even if your work doesn't allow it, paint your toes! Where there's a will, there's a way! ;)<br />
<br />
I decided to use several shades of blue and turn it into a gradient mani. I added the accent nail puzzle piece after thinking it needed that extra touch to take it one step further. Now on to the pics. I added several to show you the process. If you check out my <a href="http://thelacqueredupblonde.blogspot.com/2012/03/st-patrick-sponge-polish.html" target="_blank">St Paddy's Day mani</a>, I list the steps on how to do a gradient mani.<br />
<br />
For this mani I used China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le, A England Order of the Garter, Julep Marisa and Lynnderella Mlle Violette de Bleu.<br />

To apply the gradient, I used a cosmetic sponge and put a small puddle of polish on a paper plate and dipped my sponge in the polish and dabbed it off on the paper plate so I didn't get too much polish. It's much better to add several layers of the same color so it's a subtle shift between the shades of blue.</div>

From the pictures I could see online, it looked like the queen of all holographic glitter and bar glitter, to boot. I had to have it. While looking around for a US source, I discovered that <a href="http://www.sephora.com/" target="_blank">Sephora</a> will be selling Ciate sometime in the near future. April? May? September?! I couldn't wait, so I went directly to the website online and ordered straight from <a href="http://www.ciate.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ciate</a> in the UK. Shipping took several weeks but when it arrived?! I did a happy dance and rushed home to put it on!<br />
<br />
I'm used to having to apply a base coat color under any glitter polish that I wear, so I did the same for Jewel. I discovered after, that it was completely unnecessary. In the future, I will wear Jewel all by her glorious self. The base color I applied was Ciate Sugar Plum.<br />

I have to say, I looked at my nails a LOT while I wore this mani. I look forward to Sephora picking up this brand as there are so many colors I love in this line. For those of you who know me well, know I died a little inside when I saw the cutest nail polish bottle on the planet. The only thing that made it even better, was the easy to hold curved bottle and the fabulous brush that made application a dream.</div>

I will be keeping an eagle eye on Sephora, watching for Ciate to <i>finally</i> be readily available on this side of the pond. I promise to shout it from the rooftops when that day arrives! =)</div>

I had heard about Fantasy Fire for awhile before being able to get it. It isn't available in the US, so you have to have a friend across the pond. I read everywhere that it was a dupe for Clarins 230 aka Unicorn Pee. (VERY hard to get, if not completely impossible if you don't have money to burn.)<br />
<br />
I was so excited, I applied this beauty as soon as I got it, and not a minute too soon! The very next day I was doing hair and make-up for the Ice Road Truckers promos and this was the perfect finishing touch for me!<br />
<br />
I took pics inside and out in the sun. This polish has an obvious purple base with maroon shimmer. In the sun, it shows a rainbow of color with blues and greens.<br />
<br />
Pictures are worth a thousand words...<br />

One of the gals mentioned she was going to try using some micro beads she has at home and that started the ball rolling for this post. Micro Beads?! I had never heard of them but decided to jet to my local craft store in search of them. I ended up finding them at Michael's. I wanted to try them first so I purchased 3 of the larger sizes to mix, intending to go back for the multi-color 12 pack by Martha Stewart if this attempt was successful.<br />
<br />
The beads...<br />

I knew I wanted black just in case this worked but I mainly needed the pink and clear to go along with the polish I was already wearing.</div>

I put in mostly the Passion pink beads along with equal amounts of clear and black beads for contrast. I applied 2 generous coats of Glitter Tamer by Lynnderella. It's a thick top coat but any thick polish will do in whatever color you need. I used clear because my nails were already painted. I held my hand over a paper plate so the beads wouldn't get all over the place and I could save them for future use. Then I patted them flat on my nail to set them in the polish...</div>

<br />The Lacquered Up Blondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00717568376559146341noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270917062987633858.post-89554031966360041982012-03-15T21:32:00.001-08:002012-03-15T21:32:24.327-08:00Bunny Exchange Reveal<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a member of a wonderful group of women on Facebook who love polish. We have come together and exchange colors that don't work for us but another member loves or wants to try. It's called Polish Exchange. If you love polish and would like to maybe exchange some of your collection for some new to you colors, look us up and join. We would love to have you. =)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently, we decided to do a bunny exchange. We filled out a questionnaire about our favorite colors, brands, likes, dislikes, etc. One member mixed up names and handed them out and off we went!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to say, I've paid close attention to my bunny. I wanted to get the perfect polishes for her, the perfect candy, the perfect "extras". Just this morning, I mailed off her box. I am so excited for her to receive it. I know she will love it but I can't help but think "Oh, I should have added..." But, at some point you need to stop, tape it up and mail it. I have to say, I had so much fun shopping for my bunny, I didn't stop to wonder what I might receive. As a matter of fact, I forgot to check my mail for two days and wouldn't you know, my bunny gift was in there both of those days.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was lucky to have a bunny like me. She really paid attention to what I love and chose polishes for me that I Oooo'd and Aww'd over. She also listened to me when I said I didn't have a few specific stores near me and she bought me polishes from there that I can't get otherwise, even online. I was over the moon happy with her choices! I am so lucky. Thank you, Debbie, from the bottom of my heart. You are amazing! =)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, for my bunny reveal...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

One of the polishes broke even though it was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap but I was able to salvage most of it by pouring it into an empty OPI bottle I had handy. This was one of my faves so I was glad I could save it. Otherwise I would have bought it online somewhere. It was flakey glittery with pink stars and it was love at first sight. I will be buying another bottle... that's how much I love it.<br />

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I've been thinking about trying a sponge polish for the first time and figured St Patrick's Day was the perfect time, so I started thinking about which polishes and shades to use. I knew I wanted to use Lynnderella's Funny Money on the tip and China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada at the cuticle but wasn't sure about in between. I decided on a deep green shimmer with Wet and Wild SaGreena the Teenage Witch.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
First I applied 2 coats of China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada. Second, I sponged on WnW Sagreena the Teenage Witch. Next, I mixed in some OPI black to darken the WnW green and sponged on the tips. After I let that dry, I sponged on Lynnderella's Funny Money on the tip. I topped it off with a good coat of Glitter Tamer, followed by Barielle's Manicure Extender.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The results...</div>

Very soon, I will be posting a step by step tutorial on how to do sponge nail art. It's so much fun and so very easy! I hope you have enjoyed my St. Patrick's Day nails as much as I have! =)</div>

I had placed orders with <a href="http://www.shop.llarowe.com/" target="_blank">Llarowe</a>, <a href="http://www.barrym.com/" target="_blank">Barry M</a>, <a href="http://lippmanncollection.stores.yahoo.net/allproducts.html" target="_blank">Deborah Lippmann</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DollishPolish" target="_blank">DollishPolish</a> before leaving on vacation and they were all waiting for me when I returned home. It felt like Christmas and my birthday all wrapped up into one!<br />
<br />
I have to say, I was impressed. There was only one color I was meh about but that's just because I ordered two colors that were too similar from Barry M. Totally my fault. Apparently I was in a pink and purple mood, but that's okay.<br />
<br />
Now for the nail mail spam...<br />

Deborah Lippmann... Stairway to Heaven and Candy Shop. Such glittery goodness in both of these polishes. Candy Shop turned into an immediate favorite! Talk about happiness in a bottle. These are my first two Lippmanns but won't be my last. The quality is just impressive and the brushes are are so nice. They are incredibly easy to apply. No need to fight with the glitter at all which is rare.<br />

It's packed full of pink glitter along with white and black squares and hexagrams. Anyone who likes pink should get this polish! If Barbie were a polish color, she'd be I'm a Material Girl! ;)<br />

I ordered it from <a href="http://www.shop.llarowes.com/" target="_blank">Llarowe's</a> (You're going to hear that a LOT from me!) and I lovelovelove it! I have a feeling I'm going to love each and every one of my polishes from <a href="http://www.lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lynnderella</a> but there will always be a special place in my heart for my first. ;)</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

It contained bar and micro glitters in a blackened green base and bergamot essential oil. Bergamot is thought to promote prosperity and offer protection from negative influences—it smells like sweet orange rind with a green note. The 2011 version is full of green glitters and recycled glitter bits (from Halloween and other lacquers) in a blackened green base and also has bergamot essential oil.

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">What I love most about Funny Money is how complex it is.

I applied a base coat of A England The Knight, topped with 1 coat of OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, a dark grey charcoal, 2 coats of Funny Money and 2 coats of Glitter Tamer.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><br />
</div>If you've never tried an Ozotic nail polish, you need buy a bottle! Trust me. These two polishes are my first but definitely won't be my last! The colors are stunning and eye catching and apply like a dream! I love the brush!<br />
<div>I purchased mine from <a href="http://www.shop.llarowe.com/" target="_blank">Llarowe</a>, my favorite nail polish store! Llarowe's has the best customer service I have received online in quite some time. She cares about getting your items to you quickly, efficiently and with the utmost care. Each bottle of polish is wrapped in bubble wrap and arrives in pristine condition. I can't recommend her enough!</div><div>But I digress, so back to my new Ozotic nail polishes...</div><div><br />
</div><div>First, I applied 2 coats of Ozotic multi-chrome #532 ("<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">multi chrome teal/lilac/khaki with linear holographic particles")</span> over OPI base coat followed by 2 coats of Ozotic Elytra #528 ("<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">glittering partlicles that shift from blue to green to pink"). </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;">Each polish on its own is simply gorgeous but together? An eye catching storm of color, shimmer and sparkle... and you know I love sparkle!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif;"><br />
