NN3000 Goodies Continues...

I have a goal.  My goal is to eventually have swatches up of every polish I own.  That's an ambitious project for someone like me.  I have LOTS of bottles.  LOTS.  So, I like to show you my most recent acquisitions so it's fresh.  But please plan on seeing old and new as I go along.  Some will be still available to get, some will not.  But I'm doing this for the love of polish, and for YOU!  :)  So let's continue with my NN3000 newest goodies. 

 First up, Dionysus.  It's beautiful.  It's got multiple personalities, not all of which wanted to cooperate with the camera.  It's kind of like asking Sybil to show everyone on queue.  It doesn't always work like that.  SOOOO, I gave you an angled shot of it to try and see the multi colors you get in this bottle.  Then of course, the usual with-flash and no-flash shots.

See the mutli colors in the bottle?

 Next let's talk about a trio.  A trio exists, and I have two of them.  The trio includes Hook, Line & Sinker.   What a fun name for a trio of awesomeness that is NN3000 polishes!  First, let's see HOOK:  It's a soft silver, with holo, and almost a pearly metallicy kind of goodness to it.  The holo shines best in good lighting, or in photos with flash.

Hook (NO FLASH)

Hook, WITH FLASH

The other one of the trio I have to show, is SINKER.  That's right, I don't have hook.  But Sinker is just TOO pretty!!  It's so pretty, it was worth taking three photos of it to show you it's personality.  In dim light, it's a pretty pink.  In fact, it's a shade of pink I really like.  It's bright without being too bright, it's not punch-you-in-the-face pink either.  It's just right.  Anyway, I digress.... dim light, pink.  Slightly brighter light, you see holo beginning to show.  With flash (or sunlight), the holo in this goddess of a polish is like BAM!  HOLO PINK!!!  :)  So without further ado, photo time:

Soooo... I'm gonna let you ponder on these for a bit.  And of course, there's more coming!  This new NN3000 series is not over yet!  :)

Today's featured polishes are...

That's right, this is a series of posts all featuring NailNation3000 polishes!  I love them all, so if you're reading this, expect me to be gushing about them all!  :)

First up, Aurora Rose: this is a beautiful and multi-look polish, with that hint of holo, along with a color morph that is luminous like a gold pearl underneath.  To see it below, you'd think it was two different polishes, but it's not.  Smooth as silk, easy application. 

 2 coats, with Flash

 Now, for a 2-in-1 shot, showing Shine on Me (a gold glitter and gold leaf topcoat), and Greek Goddess (a golden toned, holographic topcoat).  They are shown on the first two fingers over regular black polish, and then again over white on the last two fingers.  Shine on Me has amazing sparkle and with REAL gold leaf, you'll feel fancy!  :) Greek Goddess looks good over white, too, but it didn't want to shine on camera.  Just look at the middle finger which is GG over black.  She played nice for the camera on that finger.

NailNation3000 new GOODIES!!!!

I got the absolute BEST package yesterday, FILLED with goodies from Maria at NailNation3000.  The wizard has been busy making new polishes, and once I stopped drooling over the new bottles to grace my collection, I started to swatch and photograph each one to share with you!  Here's just a couple of them... more tomorrow!

Let's begin with a beautiful blue, called Smoke on the Water

No Flash

With Flash

This blue is light, but not too light, soft but not muddy.  It has that hint of holo that is more noticable in sunlight, but it has that soft personality.  This is two coats, smooth formula, no drag. 

NEXT up, a color I have been waiting for - a nice seafoam green that reminds me of the Crayola crayon I remember using as a child.  And, being the wizard Maria is, it has that neat soft holo that I have come to know and love.  OH how I LOVE this color!!!! As is the case with most of her colors, they look so much better in person! These photos are two coats, smooth formula, easy application.

It's called, Stay Off the Grass

Next, is a color that is so hard to photograph because of the multiple ways this looks depending on the light you're in, the angle you're looking at it, etc...  It's a soft purple with holo, the kind you can get away with wearing just about anywhere.   Here's two coats, just as smooth as the others to apply. 

This one is called, Under Cover Lover  (2 coats):

I have more beautiful polishes to show you, more coming tomorrow!

Oh my aching nails!

If you could have seen my nails this morning, you would have laughed or groaned!  I have spent the last few nights falling off the wagon - the picking at my nails wagon - bad.  It was getting to the point where my fingertips were hurting!

Anyway, I looked at the sad state and decided to do some fake nails to keep me on the right track.  I feverishly buffed, snipped, glued, pressed, filed, etc.... and then I was ready for polish and art!

Now, I have recently received a bottle of one of my all time favorite colors, royal blue.  OH, how lovely it is!!!!!  What was this perfect, awesome, regal color polish, you ask?

NAILNATION3000 - "Take the Crown"
Now THIS is a color to drool for!  It's somewhat sheer on it's first coat, but after 2, it's nice.  I put on a third coat for good measure, just because a regal color deserves lots!  :)  This polish finishes an almost-matte finish, more like satin...but with Seche Vite over the top, it's dripping in royal blue shiny goodness.  <3

NEXT, take NN3000 - "Molten"  (A silver that stamps SOOOO well)  and Winstonia's squarish plate W04, and I did this mani:

I am seriously in love with this.  It's simple, stamping-wise, I just took the image and rotated it to stamp in various corners for a less uniform look.  Here's a pic of the plate:

The big flower on the middle left is on my thumbs.    Winstonia quality is awesome!!

Well, I'm off to stare at my fingers....

Christmas Nails!!

Hi everyone!  I have been the worst YouTuber and blogger in the last month!  I have been busy as heck at home, with other creative projects, and my nails have been in horrible shape too.  So today, I drenched my fingertips in cuticle oil and finally came up with something.  :)  If I play my cards right, I can try to keep these until Christmas, but I'm betting I'll have new ideas before then.  Plus, fast dry polishes tend to chip faster than other stuff I own, so I may just have to put my creative juices to work again before the holiday arrives.

Anyway, here's the link to my new video, just posted this morning:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9CxEEoOcRU

Annddd....here's a pic: 

I hope you like it!

If there was a "me" color...

...this is it!  Beautiful blue steals my heart.  NailNation3000 brings me Squeeze Me Aqua Man.  It's a beautiful primary-royal blue holo.  Indoors you see slight holo.  Take it outside, and it's AMAZING.  It is fully opaque in two thin coats, and it dries smooth and beautiful.  You will likely see lots of posts with NN3000 polish, because I have a lot and I love doing swatches of these beauties!  Enjoy-

First Swatch photo - NailNation3000 Fantabulous

Fantabulous

Yes, that's right, This is my first swatch of MANY more to come.  Maria of NailNation3000  is not only a good friend of mine, but she's basically magical when it comes to polish.  This is one of my favorites she's made.  Fantabulous.  The name says it all.  A great fuschia color with a holo that practically glows in good lighting.  I just LOVE this color.  It's a great formula, and is completely opaque in two coats.  I almost didn't want to take it off!  :)
