Digit-al Dozen Does Black; Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week!!!  I have no idea how we decided upon the theme of black on the week that Valentine's Day falls on, but we did!  So I tried to do a mainly black mani, keeping in mind that Valentine's day is tomorrow!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Black Onyx.

 Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 Stamped using MJ JR-1 with an accent of BM-412 using a gradient of MdU 20, Moyra SP19 and Funky Fingers Gesso.

Here's the other ladies Day 1 mani's!

Sally Hansen Prize Pack Giveaway!

Just before Christmas, I received a surprise package of Sally Hansen 2014 Spring products.  I was so thrilled to receive sneak peeks of the lines including two Sugar Shimmers, one being this one, Sally Hansen Sugar Plum**.

Sugar Plum is fairly sheer and two coats gave good coverage, but I did three as I'm not a fan of VNL on me and it was quite obvious in the pix. But if I was wearing this as a base for regular use, two coats had sufficient coverage.  I did find that the third coat minimized the texture in the polish.  

I did a Valentine's mani using this polish too!  I know it's late but am going to share anyway as love is timeless, right?

Started with a base of three coats of Sally Hansen Sugar Shimmer Sugar Plum.  Love the golden shimmer in this one!  Since these have been released, I quickly picked up the rest of the Sugar Shimmers; I love texture polishes!

Stamped using white Konad special polish and Mundo de Unas stamping polish in 20 using Pueen 41 on all fingers except accent; ring finger was stamped using BM-412.

Topped with SV to finish.  The Sally Hansen products have now been released; I've seen them in several stores including Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Rexall PharmaPlus and Target. While I was sent two of these Sugar Shimmers for review, I did pick up the rest recently as I love texture polishes!  I do hope that Sally Hansen continues to release more Sugar Shimmers...and makes them available for sale in Canada as I know past releases never made it here!
