Metallic Pink Ribbons

More Breast Cancer Awareness nail art!

Wet N Wild Black Creme (best black creme EVER, cruelty free and only a dollar!) and hand drawn ribbons with Color Club Foil Me Once. 

I like how the light pink polish pops against the black background.

Pink Ribbons

Two finger Breast Cancer Awareness manicure with Lime Crime Milky Ways and Lime Crime Parfait Days. I got a lot of compliments on these, and a lot of them were just on the pink. It's pastel, but bright. I'm not sure how to describe it but definitely a unique polish. Awesome.

The pink ribbons didn't pop as much as I had wanted, but it was fun all the same. The polish chipped in one day despite Seche Vite coat. I can't figure out how to get these polishes to stay on!

e.l.f. Studio Lip Stains

e.l.f. Studio Lip Stains promise long lasting color with the option of a clear gloss topper. All stains are two ended.

The nice thing about the gloss is it can be removed if you'd rather just have the stain in your purse or pocket and they cover nicely with regular balm or chapstick. Lipglosses, including the one they give you, tends to remove the color in patches and ball up on your lips. Not pleasant.

I've swatched them in groups of four just for comparison sake. Four are nude browns, one with shimmer. The other four are pinks and a red, one with shimmer.

You can't really see it in the swatches, but Bombshell has a fine golden shimmer and Mysterious has a chunkier silver glitter.

And the fun ones!

(I wish Birthday Suit had been a nude color, would have
a little cheeky! No pun intended.)

Fashionista has a fine shimmer, the rest are cremes.

I've worn a few of these and they definitely aren't stains. They feel more like a long lasting lipstick.  Remember the original Cover Girl long lasting lipsticks? Same thing! I prefer to wear them alone  because most glosses tend to make them ball up and remove the color.

So far my favorite are Red Carpet and Heartbreaker. I wear Heartbreaker almost daily, but I've noticed the nudes are almost identical on the lips.

As I do lip swatches, I'll add them here for reference. Any color requests?

Available here for $3.00.

EDIT:

Fashionista!

Pink Cheetah & French Nail Art

Metallic pink cheetah and french nail art. I think I went a teeny bit overboard with this manicure. It came off when I was done with these pictures. The first picture in all its glory, is also the best representation of the base color (see pinky!). Kleancolor Metallic Pink is a fantastic bright metallic hot pink that covers in 1-2 coats and doesn't lose anything with a top coat.

This was before the french nail designs. Outside in evening light. I think I would have worn this for awhile. Chunky cheetah print done with a dotting tool.

Some pictures of Kleancolor Metallic Pink on its own. It totally freaked out my camera. Hence the first picture really shows its beauty. Someone at work mentioned it looked almost mirrored. Verrrry reflective.

Do you wear crazy fun nails while going out or do you do them for your own enjoyment and change them before going out? For me, I'll wear anything while going out (running errands, dancing, restaurants, gym, etc) but I try to keep it a little more toned down for work, although I still wear metallic pink and yellows to work!
