Venique B-Ceen B-Gorgeous and Twinkling Glitter

Tonight, I am bringing you a new brand of polish call Venique Nail Lacquer.  It is a professional nail lacquer that is 3-Free.  I absolutely fell in love with this polish and their colors and wish I had purchased more when I saw them.  The colors I used for this mani is B-Ceen B-Gorgeous with an accent nail of Twinkling Glitter.  I used the base coat, 2 coats of color (2 coats of glitter on the ring finger) and then their top coat.  I was able to get 4 full days out of this mani with no chips and very little tip wear, I had to remove it just to do more swatches.  Application was very smooth and dries to a glass like finish.

The blurriness is so that you can see the flash of the glitters which are small and medium hex shaped.

  

I will bring you swatches of more colors soon, two from the Jimmy Who??? collection.  More information can be found on their website at Venique Nails and on their Facebook at Venique Nail Lacquer.  I will bring you more information about availability and pricing as I receive it. What do you think about this new polish and the colors?

Barielle's Flirtini - Entry for the "Love is at your Fingertips" contest

***Winner***Thanks to everyone that voted for me, I won the contest.  3 polishes.  Sounds like I need to share some very soon :)




Wanted to share with my followers my entry for the Barielle's "Love Is At Your Fingertips" contest. I used the color Flirtini for my entry. The name of the polish was perfect for Valentine's Day. This was a hard color to photograph, it's more beautiful in person.   I used 3 thin coats of color, heart and rhinestone stickers, then topped that off with a coat of Seche Vite.  

Please take time to click this link and "like" my entry at the "Love Is At Your Fingertips" contest.  Barielle retails for $8 each (it's buy one get one 50% of always) and I love their Face Book page, you should check it out.  They run a lot of contests and specials there.  What do you think about my entry for the contest?  Do you own any Barielles?  I own approximately 30 of them and love each and every one of them.  Thanks everyone!
