Holdiay Challenge Day 1!

Hi! I am going to start the month off with a bang!! I have set up a couple of features to help me keep up with blogging and all the work that goes along with it. If you don't already like my facebook page please do - so you can keep up with updates or you can follow me on twitter @YourFingertipss. Both of those will be updated with any blog news/posts.

psssstttt.... I would keep my eye out for a give away soon ;)

And if you do nothing else- please follow me on Instagram!! I post my mani's there before I ever blog about them, along with nail mail, and haul posts!! My name is @devin_atyourfingertips or you can click here. :)

So lets get this started!!!!

Here is the challenge I will be doing this month.... It was made by Happy Hands!

Today's theme is Red!

I used Different Dimentions Bazinga! from their Big Bang Theory Collection.

It is a clear base with small dark red hexes, with medium gold/yellow hexes, and large red and gold glitter as well.

And a macro of the bottle :D

Overall, I loved this polish. It was super easy to work with, and what you see here is just one coat! I did absolutely no fishing for glitter. I think next time I will do this over white to see what it looks like!

These pictures also have one, yes ONE coat of Red Carpet Revlon Colorstay underneath. It went on like a dream and only needed one coat - and I wasn't even trying. It is the perfect firetruck red!!

Below is one coat alone... 

And Here is the picture for the challenge!

Anyone love the Big Bang Theory as much as I do?? Join the challenge too!!

Revlon Bold Sangria

This is my Revlon Colorstay Review!!

When I heard about this I was super excited, being in college does not give you many opportunities to change your nail polish often. :(

So on the weeks I know I will be busy, I figured this would be a great alternative!!

According to Revlon: Gel-like shine and up to 11 days of shatterproof color, when worn with Revlon colorstay base and top coat.

So here is Bold Sangria with base coat, and two coats of color.

The base coat and top coat were really easy to work with, and the color was flawless! I was very impressed!

However, as you can see it dried significantly darker than the bottle color.

But I wanted to add black stamping (because this was going to be on my nails for 11 days) to spice it up. This picture was taken with flash after top coat. In significant light, it does match up to the bottle color, and you can see the stamping.... but irl I did not see the stamping much.

Due to my ridiculous exam schedule I kept it on for FOURTEEN DAYS!!!

Here is the wear...

Crappy cell pic, but you get the gist. For the first 9 days it was nothing but SLIGHT tip wear. Then it started to chip, but only when I used my nails for something, like scrubbing or washing my hair. 

I was SUPER impressed with this nail polish and the next time I wear the nail polish I will take a daily pic to show the daily wear. I also want to see what happens if you use a different base or top coat....so expect experiments soon!!!

Have you tried these polishes yet??? Have you had great experiences, or not so great?

Haul Post!!

I have to admit.... I buy ALOT more nail polish than I post on here, but I want to get in the habit of posting my hauls :)

First of all... Has anyone seen and actually used it???

Because I have used it and I love the consistency so far!! I googled my butt off and I could not find a review!! Help me out people! After using it a bit longer I will provide a review as well :)

Day 4 - Green !!

I am pretty proud of my regular posting lately!! Hopefully it becomes a normal thing :)

First I started with 2 coats of Ulta's The Jungle Look. It is a beautiful green creme that does look jungle-y. 

Then I added a coat of Revlon's Ocean on my middle and pinky finger.

In the shade

In the sun you can totally see the amazing shimmer and slight duochrome of Ocean.

These are two great colors that I would love wearing separately, but I am not sure how well they look together... 

That's it for today!! Let me know how you like these colors and if you like them together :D

Haul SPAM!!

Okay, I have been putting off blogging until I unpacked! Sorry :( And the day I want to start up again... BLOGGER IS DOWN. :( It was all in all a very depressing day. But I have some awesome posts planned so stay tuned :)

For today I figured I would post pictures of all of the hauls I have had in the past two weeks. And you might say, how many hauls could you possibly have? Well....a lot. I truly am addicted haha :)

Warning: PIC HEAVY :)

First, A picture of what I came home to from college....

Here was an especially awesome package from an awesome ebayer...

My three awesome polishes, PLUS a hand written note, free bottle of Sephora's nail polish remover, Perfume sample, and mini OPI!!! :)

Here is a true testimony to how awesome Zoya is! I received my Zoya Earth Day order and when I opened it, there were six polishes that I did not order!! I talked to customer service and told them what happened. They shipped my correct order out right away and let me keep the ones I received in error!!
