FRANKEN Friday !! Dollish Polish ( FAT GUY IN A LITTLE COAT )

Today Im ft. Dollish Polish which has amazing frankens <3 and I have my eye on a few, yet I had to have this bad boy just for its name I LOL'ed so much once I saw the name and I was totally drawn to it, it looked so pretty on the screen YET I blew my mind in person.

Well the name of this polish explains it all , but in case this quote didnt ring anything on your head here it goes. This quote is form the movie " Tommy Boy form 1995 ft. Chris Farley here is a quick description from Wikipedia "Tommy Boy is a 1995 road comedy film directed by Peter Segal, written by Bonnie and Terry Turner, and starring former Saturday Night Live colleaguesChris Farley and David Spade. The film tells the story of a socially and emotionally immature man (portrayed by Farley) who learns lessons about friendship and self-worth following the sudden death of his industrialist father. The film did well commercially, but received mixed reviews from critics"


This franken was inspired by the attire Tommy Boy wears and he acts the quote " FAT GUY IN A LITTLE COAT" and I think that Dollish Polish scored GR8 and the result was amazing.

On a Bush by: Essie ft. 2010 by: Nubar

Im a sucker for duo-chrome'ish flakies and all sorts of finishing "effect" top coat , I love just a one color nail, because u can really see the beauty of anpolish wearing on its own; but hey you can always amp up any nail polish color just by adding a top coat. This combo is by Essie in the shade ( On a Bush ) and a Color changing flakie top coat by Nubar - 2010.
Below you can see on the pictures the BIG diff. It makes just by adding Nubar, The polish is very very pretty on its own its a really soft green not falling into the "mint" kinda green, yet is very pastel-like.

Color Club-Sugar Plum Yum

This amazing polish is SUGAR PLUM YUM from Color Club, is a clear base with big chunky purple glitter and green multi size glitter. Sugar Plum Yum is part of their Holiday collection and once its dries into your nail it has a scent I personally have no problem with scented polishes.
The formulation on the polish is goopy and thick as much as I loved it the polish itself is pretty hard to apply for my like, but ohh it just so amazing that I will deff. re-apply lol !! 

The swatch on the nail wheel has 2 coats.
I did do some other swatches over diff. base colors and hands down I really enjoyed the green-tourquoise one :D

Orly-Androgynie


Hello girls , well to get this weekend started let me introduce you'll to Orly-Androgynie.
Beautiful black-deep brown-super light gold undertone-sheer-jelly like base ( sorry I hope I made m point lol ), with multi-size-color glitter, it takes about 2 coats to be opaque while letting the glitter peak tru. Under "normal" lighting the glitter is not a deep and potent as under light and sun, I did read some reviews that stated that it was lumpy and did not dry correctly, well mine did dry fairly quick and was not lumpy at all. I do like it a lot its a deff. fall-winter and goes on with any skin tone.

sunlight

I did a little "experiment" to see if the polish with POP with different colors as basecoats , and honestly I did not like any , this guy ROCKS ON IT OWN. Here are the results.


Have a gr8 weekend

Amerian Apparel : nail POLISH nail POLISH !

Ive been hunting American Apparel polishes for ever lol ! but I wanted to go personally and pick some out, near me theres no American Apparel so I had to wait for a little road trip lol. 
So luckily couple of weeks ago I took off to SA for a 1 day vacay I've been blogging about my "haul" for the past week or so, it in parts because I think its better lol I feel its like personalized for one product rather than just rammble about a whole bunch  ! 

American Apparel nail polishes come in a large range of colors and they go at $6 a piece or 3 for $18 , actually I got a deal in the store located at La Cantera in San Antonio Tx. , they had 3 for $15 so I looked tru the colors they had avai. and GOD its was so hard they do carry some pretty nice colors and some btw are pretty unique, they all seemed to have a "cream" finish to them but online they do carry the "Metallics" which do have some shimmer to it. 

My 3 picks were "PINK LADIES", "DYNASTY", "LOPEZ CANYON". ( names match bottles )
The camera did turnedUP the color on the polishes just a bit, I have not used ANY lol ! so I dont know how opaque they are or how sheer , coats and all that good stuff :D. So if you have any recommendations as far as what to use as basecoat on there guys or coats ..etc please let me know in the comments below.
One thin I noticed is the bottle I just think its pretty nice in shape and width you can store them easily than the "typical" round, cylinder-kinda bottle. So if you guys have any comments on this brand of polishes I would love to know so Il have a foundation on what expect or look for. As far as for now I can see that its not a "cheap" looking product , it actually looks pretty good :D 
The vibe in the store is pretty nice and trendy DEFF. a store you gotta check out :D 

THANX 4 READING !! HAVE A NICE DAY !
