Ruby White Tips Breaking Bad Collection (4 colors) Review

Today I have a review from Ruby White Tips! This will be pic heavy so be forewarned! Lol

These polishes were sent to me for review so everything expressed here is my honest and unbiased opinion. Please see my disclosure policy located in the tabs above.

I have four polishes from the new Breaking Bad collection. I have Breakage, Cancer Within, Breaking Bronze and Say My Name.

First I want to say..... HOW CUTE ARE THESE BOTTLES!!!!! And the rhinestones at the top serve a duel purpose (well for me anyway...I don't think they were supposed to but they did) not only do they make them pretty but they also serve as grippers!

All the following pictures are with topcoat

Up first we have Breaking Bronze (which was named by a fan). It is a pinkish, orangeish color with gold flecks. Smooth application. Sheer in one coat but with two or three thin coats it is opaque.

This is one thin coat over white

This is one coat over black  

This is one coat on left and two coats on right

This is one coat over Orly Coffee Break

Here is all of them together

Next we have Say My Name. A baby blue HOLO!!! Smooth application. Sheer in a thin coat but semi opaque in a thick coat. Completely opaque in two coats.  

For some reason my camera hated me with this color and I could not for the life of me get an accurate color depiction of this except in the full hand picture and in the video… Blah polish problems lol

Here we have two thin coats… see the holo?!

Here we have one coat over white

Here we have one coat over China Glaze – For Audery

Here we have one coat over Black

And three thin coats alone

Here is the full hand in the sun

And here is a kicker for you… These two polishes have the same listing. Which means you get to pick which one you want. Breakage and Cancer Within are both a green color. One light and one dark. Both have a very smooth application… She did say that one of them can stain your nail beds…. I however, did not have this problem… maybe my chemistry or the fact that she told me up front so I used two coats of base before applying, either way be forewarned. 

Cancer Within is a due chrome light green with green shimmer! Very sheer in one coat but (for me and how I like the opacity to be) took 3-4 coats to be opaque.

Breakage is the darker green with green shimmer. Sheer in one coat but completely opaque in 2-3

For these photos I did something a little different! I wanted to get these side by side to do a comparison.

Here they are side by side... two coats of each... Cancer Within on the left and Breakage on the right

So on my middle and ring fingers I did half white and half black. 

Cancer Within (two coats) is on the left two (index and middle). Middle finger has white on the left & black on the right

Breakage is (two coats) on the right two (ring and pinky). Ring finger has black on the left and white on the right.

And alone with bottle shots

I have to say that when I opened these I instantly thought that my favorite was going to be Say My Name because I am a sucker for blues of all shades, I was surprised at the fact that out of these my favorite is Breakage! I love how it looks with my complexion and think it is a great color for fall! Regardless of whether you watch Breaking Bad or not (I don't watch much TV at all but after seeing these I think I am going to look into this show) you NEED to own this green!

Question about giveaways.....

Sorry for the absence. I haven't had the words or time to really write a post... Because I didn't think that you would just want to see the same pictures that I would post on my Facebook page. (If I'm wrong please let me know)

Today I want to talk about something that I've been thinking about a lot lately...

Giveaways.

I noticed that a lot of people will start to follow a page or a blog just for giveaway and then shortly thereafter un like or stop following. And it honestly really kind of irks me a little bit. People continuously do this... I mean really do you think a page or blog is not going to ever do another giveaway. I mean really....  if you like a page you should not like it just because of the giveaway you should like it because of the nail art or the person behind it. So for those people that just follow this blog or like my facebook page they're just doing it for a giveaway please trust and believe that I do notice when I post about having a giveaway and then get more likes shortly thereafter. I do make note of it so, you can't win back to back giveaways. So with that being said, I don't know that I want to do anymore Rafflecopter giveaways. I am thinking about just doing random giveaways where you don't know when it will happen or what you'll have to do for the giveaway.

I would like your opinion and thoughts on how you would like giveaways to happen. Would you like Rafflecopter? Would you like contests? Would you like random? Or would you prefer something more monthly... where there's a monthly contest?

Please let me know your opinions and thoughts. You can leave it in the comments below or you can go to my Facebook fan page and leave your opinions and thoughts there too. I do accept constructive criticism but I do not accept or condone hate so please take it somewhere else if that's all you have in your heart.

I will leave you with my latest and current mani! :) It's a three color gradient with NN3000 Carpe Diem on top Blueberry Creme in the middle and Wow-A-Doodle (summer 2013) on the tips, stamped with NN3000 Basic Black and Pween plate #36 from the Love Elements set.

Nailnation 3000 review No Rest For The Wicked and Glam Bot

Hello all,

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile.... Life got hectic for a little bit. I am back now and am going to try and post once a week.

Anyway today I have some Nailnation 3000 polishes to show you... I have shown you one of them before but now I have added some accent nails to go with it :)

So below are the items that I used...

(Left to Right:) NailNaition 3000 - Skunk Base coat, Glam Bot, Striping tape, No Rest For The Wicked  and Seche Vite

First I have to say that I love LoVe LOVE the Skunk Base Coat. Yes it has a funny name but that it because this base coat is stinky... Not so stinky that it will run you out of the room but just enough that I would not recommend sticking up to your nose and taking a big whiff. The smell goes away as it dries leaving no smell at all when it's completely dry. It dries mildly sticky ( not sticky like if you pet your cat your will have furry nails lol but sticky in a good way ) which makes your polish stick to it better. I have soooooooo much less chipping when I use this as my base. 

Let me show you some pictures of the mani then I will tell you about the polishes and how I made this mani:

No flash

With flash BLING!

Direct Sunlight

In direct sunlight... Look at NRFTW Glow!

So obviously I started with the Skunk Base Coat then did a coat of No Rest For The Wicked on my first, middle and pinkie fingers and Glam Bot on the ring and thumb. I used two coats of both colors and waited for them to completely dry. While they were drying I cut my striping tape into pieces and stuck them to my desk for easy access later. After about 20 minutes or so I carefully put the striping tape onto the Glam Bot nails in the pattern I wanted, in this case quilted/squares/windows which ever you want to call it, and then painted one coat of No Rest For The Wicked over the tape. Waited about 15-20 seconds and then started removing the striping tape in the reverse order of which I put them on (last one first and so on). I have found that if you pull the tape off while the polish is still wet, before it gets tacky or dry, that there is much less of a chance to pull up more than what is on the tape. Now that is just what works for me I don't know if that's how you are supposed to do it or not. Again waited for that to be completely dry then topped with a coat of Seche Vite. (Make sure to wrap the tips)

No Rest For The Wicked (priced at $13.00 USD) is a black holo that is just to die for. The holo in it glows whether you are in the sun or not. It's a one to two coater depending on how you like it. I personally always do two coats just to make sure everything is covered (that and I have OCD lol)

Glam Bot (priced at $13.00 USD) is a barbie pink holo that is awesomely bright (but not shockingly bright, She has a couple BRIGHT Pink holos though. Check out her page). Kinda sheer in one coat but completely opaque in two.

I love using striping tape because there are so many uses and designs you can make with it.  I got mine from ebay for like $2 (USD) shipped for 10 rolls.

If you would like to get your hands on or check out any of Maria's AWESOME polish you can find her is a couple different places.
