OPI DS Exclusive & Silver Shatter | Like it? Then Win it!!

Hi fellow beauties!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you hard-working Moms!
Today is super cloudy, but I managed to catch a quick shot of Exclusive with Silver Shatter in a break between the clouds.

Two coats of Exclusive indoors:

OPI DS Exclusive

This applies like a dream.  Two smooth coats and it was opaque.  The color is a beautiful smooth holo magenta.  I find the color is similar to Extravagance except Extravagance has a scattered holo effect.

Another indoor shot:

OPI DS Exclsive with Silver Shatter:

Silver Shatter

Everyone has been releasing crackle polishes or announcing future releases.  Are you still digging the crack polishes?  I have fallen in love with Silver Shatter.  The application is fantastic!  I used one semi-thick coat and swiped side-to-side and diagonally on each nail.  My ring finger looks like something from a heart rate monitor!  :o)

Silver Shatter is totally hot in my opinion.

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED - THANKS EVERYONE!!** Giveaway!! | Apothica.com Giftcard!!

Hello everyone!!

I'm back from my vacation and wanted to let you know a couple of things.  I spent a few hours on Apothica's website shopping through many different brands of cosmetics.  I just had to try out Clinique's Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector.

Having asian skin prone to dark spots and suffering from post-acne marks, this product really appealed to me.  I've tried many other products with moderate results, but I love Clinique's products and am very excited to test this dark spot corrector.

I ordered my Clinique product from Apothica.com.  They sell so many of my favorite brands from Bare Minerals all the way to Paul & Joe.

As luck would have it, I have been given the opportunity to host a giveaway!  One of you lovely readers can have the chance to win a $25 gift certificate courtesy of Apothica.com.

Dotted Line French-Like Mani | Born Pretty Store

Hey beauties!

Born Pretty Store allowed me to select a couple of items to review.  You may all know them for their generosity in gifting the super cute Hello Kitty stamping plate.  If you haven't ordered one yet, what are you waiting for?!  They are able to offer 10 people (One per address) a plate per day, and be sure to use the code BP299
I created a cute Valentine's mani with Hello Kitty, but unfortunately photos of that mani are part of the *Poof* it's gone club.  :o(
Even though so many photos are gone, I have been able to find a few existing photos of manicures I did before my laptop was stolen.
This is one of them:

 This is two coats of OPI's Japanese DS Exclusive, and I used Born Pretty Store's Dotting Tools for the little dots in OPI DS Glamour.

 I used the small dot on the blue tool.
This was a fun one and very eye catching!!

Of course the dotting tool is very simple to use.  A little dollop of polish, a dip of the dotting tool and you can create a bagillion dots everywhere!

I do like that the set comes in a sleeve and the quality is great especially for the price.  They even have free shipping!

Born Pretty Store sent me the items in return for an honest review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
