llarowe and nail nation 3000 mail

these are a combination of a few orders.  1 was from llarowe's black friday sale, another was the enchanted polish release and the last group is my latest package from nail nation 3000.

i love the new packaging on the enchanted polishes.  the printed, square bottles look so much better than the ones that had the paper labels.

also i'm loving the all silver stickers on the nail  nations.

first up....black friday order from llarowe.  i have to say that all of the other pictures that i've seen online doesn't capture the holo in holo'ween like seeing it in person.  this is one amazing polish.  of course the glitter gals are also amazing, i'm debating on throwing on citrine first.

nail nation 3000 - naughty or nice? #39

this was 2 coats of naughty or nice? and 1 coat of seche vite.  the holo in this one is crazy.

here's the description of the polish from nail nation 3000's facebook:

Naughty or Nice? #39

A triple silver holo with red and holo glitters too spice up any list! Are you naughty or nice?
2012 only color next years version will be very different! ;)

 a lot of the glitter stuck to the side of the bottle on this one, it's from when it shipped.  going to have to keep shaking it and hope it mixes back with the polish.

i love the color change on my thumb in this first photo.

straight flash...speckles are the red glitter

nail nation 3000 - fierce #5

this is 1 coat of fierce #5 over cult nails - nevermore and 1  coat of seche vite.

i received a mini bottle of this with my first purchase of nail nation 3000 polishes.  it's really pretty in person, like her other polishes it does change depending on the lighting, some of the purple isn't as pronounced  in some light.  my only wish is that it were a darker red.  layering it did seem to darken it a bit, but i love dark, dark reds.


blah, looks like i missed some black near my cuticles with cleanup.  oh well, it happens ;)

nail nation 3000 - daddy's girl #180

so, this one is in honor of leah ann's mother.  she posted on facebook that her mother passed a year ago today and that pink was her favorite color.  it's also mine, though i haven't posted pink manicures on the blog.   i thought this would be a good reason to pick a pink polish to wear today.

this is daddy's girl #180 by nails nation 3000.  1 coat of seche vite was used, no clean up done.  her polishes apply perfectly.  this isn't a super strong holo, like kizmit, however it is still gorgeous.

llarowe will soon be carrying nail nation 3000, mine were purchased through the facebook page.

nail nation 3000 - shine on me 23k #100

for my base on this i used 2 coats of opi - every month is oktoberfest.

1 coat of shine on me with a coat of gelous and a coat of seche vite.  no application issues at all with this one. 

this gold top coat is so pretty.  i almost wish now that i would have passed on the opi one from the skyfall collection.  this one has tiny glitter in it, where the opi one doesn't.

i love how this turned out.  didn't clean it up yet, i just want to get to sleep after the huge dinner we had at my parents' tonight.

nail nation 3000 - kizmit #701

this is the polish that i first wanted to purchase and wear.  it was described as a quad holo.  the strength of the holo seems to change depending on the light you are looking at it in.  gorgeous gunmetal base.

all of these were shot with flash...my apartment is really dark, even with my shades  opened and all of my lights on.

this is 1 coat of stinky skunk base coat, 2 coats of kizmit, 1 coat of seche vite.  the  topcoat didn't seem to dull this like a lot of holos do when worn with a topcoat.

also...application was perfect.  i didn't clean up either hand.  not sure if it's the formula of the polish, or the shorter brush or the quality of the brush.  seriously this went on smooth.

the amount of holo going on with this one is crazy.  

**edited to add this picture**

the sun finally came around to my side of the building.  this is no flash O.O

this was taken with the light my dining room area, where i shoot all of my pictures:

i still can't believe how smooth this went on with no cleanup  at all.

 this was in the same area,  just held my hand closer to the light in the room:

nailnation3000 - first orders

my friend allison from facebook suggested i check out this nail polish maker.  i am so glad i did.  she makes amazing holo polishes and i also got her 23k gold topcoat.  i ended up purchasing 2 separate orders directly through facebook.  they arrived super fast, which surprised me.  i ordered on the  15th and 16th and they were delivered to my mom's yesterday. 

i have chatted with her a few times now and she comes across as one of the most sincere people.  you can  tell that she really appreciates your interest in her polishes and really wants her customers to be happy with her items.   i even had a free sample included with my first order.  i got her basecoat to try out also.  i am always looking for an amazing base coat.  it smells strong, it's called stinky skunk base coat for a reason, but the smell goes away once dried, in about a minute according to her post on facebook.  i can deal with that if it works ;)


she has been doing nails for 20 years and has been working the last 3 on creating.  llarowe announced that she is going to be carrying maria's line.  that is huge, llarowe only carries the best  polishes and i'm glad maria had this opportunity to get her polishes noticed. 

i wanted to get these photos online asap, they are so gorgeous in person.

anyhow, onto the pics...
