Reader's Choice Mondays ~ ManGlaze Mink Mitten

Happy Monday dolls! The winner for this week was ManGlaze Mink Mitten with 45% off the votes. Mink Mitten is a pretty lilac matte that is filled with silver shimmer. The formula was extremely easy to work with and was opaque in two coats. Compared to some of the other ManGlazes I have, the silver shimmer is much heavier in Mink Mitten. The pictures below are without top coat.

I really can't get enough of ManGlaze mattes; the formula is great, fast dry time, and they wear well. Mink Mitten is super flattering. I wanted to add some polka dots to an accent nail, but I decided against it.

Up for votes this week are three more dark shades. I've already mentioned how I'm really into dark colors right now and I don't see that ending any time soon. Please take a second to vote before the poll closes on Friday.

Pink Wednesday ~ ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly + Pretty & Polished Custom Punk'd Up Betty

Happy Pink Wednesday dolls! I hope that all of you are having a great week. Today I'm wearing a combo that I'm not absolutely thrilled with. I started with ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly, which is a gorgeous charcoal gray matte. It is filled with silver shimmer. There is also a little blue shimmer that is apparent at certain angles. The formula of Fuggen Ugly was typical ManGlaze greatness. I used two coats in the pictures below. These are without top coat.

To include some pink, I added my custom order of Pretty & Polished Punk'd Up Betty. My version is exactly the same as the original, except it doesn't include the large white hexes. The formula was thick and goopy; it was almost as if there was too much base for the density of the glitter. This is one coat of the custom Punk'd Up Betty over Fuggen Ugly.

Eh...I'm not sure how I feel about this. Actually I am sure; I don't like it. I can't put my finger on what I don't like though. I'm not sure if it's the combination of the two polishes or if I just don't like the glitter. I like the size of the glitter and I've been looking for just pink and black, so I'm not sure why I'm not vibing with it. I may need to try the custom polish layered over white. On the other hand, I adore Fuggen Ugly. Look at how gorgeous the shimmer is with top coat added! Everything about Fuggen Ugly makes me happy.

I'm starting to get used to the light box pictures. Let me know your thoughts on them. Happy hump day dolls!

ManGlaze ILF

Hey dolls, I had about 10 minutes to do my nails before going to see a movie with hubby yesterday. I decided to go with a matte since I knew it would dry quickly. ManGlaze ILF is a sea foam green/turquoise matte polish with silver shimmer. The formula was a little bit thinner than that of the other ManGlazes I've tried, but it wasn't problematic at all. I applied two coats for opacity and no clean up was needed.

ILF is gorgeous. It has a tad more green in it than the pictures above. I've had ILF on for a full day and there hasn't been any chipping yet. I'm definitely going to turn to this brand when I need a quick, on the go mani that still looks awesome.

ManGlaze Royal Matterimoaning & ILF

Hey dolls, today I'm wearing blue again in support of autism awareness month. ManGlaze Royal Matterimoaning is a royal blue matte that is filled with silver shimmer. This is the second ManGlaze that I have tried and the formula on these polishes is crazy pigmented. I'm only wearing one coat in the photos below! The dry time is also extremely fast, which is what you would expect from a matte polish.

I debated between making Royal Matterimoaning glossy or doing a tape mani...the tape won. I used striping tape to make an abstract design with ManGlaze ILF, which is a gorgeous turquoise matte. I am loving how easy the striping tape is to use!

I love the way this turned out! I may add top coat to it tomorrow to see how this combo looks glossy. Using ILF as the accent has me excited to wear that one all on its own!

Have you tried striping tape yet?

WnW Tangled In My Web

I wanted to see how ManGlaze Lesbihonest looked glossy (and I'm trying to use more of my untrieds), so I decided to add two coats of WnW Tangled In My Web. Tangled In My Web is a clear base filled with black glitter. This polish was so hard to spread all over the nail. I had to dab the brush in certain areas to get more glitter all over the nail. The clear base was also very thick, so I feel like I have six coats of polish on.

Meh...I'm not crazy over this. It looks okay, but I would prefer it if the glitter wasn't so sparse. It just looks like something is missing. Maybe I need Nubar Black and White Polka Dots to make up for my dislike of Tangled In My Web.

On the otherhand, Lesbihonest looks awesome glossy! I'm so ready to wear this one again (minus Tangled in My Web).

Pink Wednesday ~ ManGlaze Lesbihonest

Hey dolls, today I'm wearing a brand I've been lusting after for a few months. Thanks to my polish friend Michelle and the awesome folks over at ManGlaze, I'm now the proud owner of 8 of these polishes! Up first is Lesbihonest, a gorgeous pink matte filled with silver shimmer. The formula was awesome; there was no streaking or balding and it was opaque on the first coat. I added a second just for depth.

 

Gorgeous!!!! I love everything about Lesbihonest. I can't wait to see what this one looks like glossy; I'm thinking the shimmer will be even more pronounced. The other ManGlaze polishes I received are Santorum, ILF, Fuggen Ugly, Matte is Murder, Royal Mattermoaning, Mink Mitten, and F**k Off & Dye.

Which would you like to see next?
