First try with Jamberry

I've heard all sorts of things about Jamberry nail wraps but finally decided to try them myself. My neighbor has been raving about how great they are and so far I have to agree!  They were quick and easy to put on (heat up, smooth out, and file tips).

A major plus is that when my kids kept inturupting I didn't have to worry about wet polish getting smudged and could still fully use my hands. I just went right back to doing my nails when I had another moment to do so.

Now for the test- will these last 10 to 14 days? Even glue on fake nails don't last that long for me so this will be interesting.  Between horse dirt and diaper changes I plan to keep my hands free from gloves and put these to the test.

New L'Oreal - High Tide

This is High Tide from the New L'Oreal Passport to Paradise collection. This is really the only one that I was interested in. The others looked like colors that I already had. I love this grayed out light blue. It reminds me of gray Seattle skies. Our water is much darker than this. This is two coats that went on a little thick with a top coat of Poshe'. The Seattle picture was taken from the sky bridge of Virginia Mason hospital looking west to Puget Sound. Thanks to everyone for the well wish's and Prayers for my Dad. We should find out test results today.

The Big Polish Swap

We've found the pot of gold at the end of "Rainbows and Blues"! In our first ever swap with Anja here's the super generous stash of goodies she sent us, and a video of miss Lilly helping us dig into it!

Big Batch of Barielle's Part 1

I am in love with this collection. These were all beautiful and easy to apply! First up is a stunning silver called "Night Moves" and you will be queen of the disco wearing it. It is extra shimmery and reminds me of Sally Hansen's "Celeb City". This was 2 coats. 4 Blings.


This is now my favorite blue for sure! Also 2 coats "Electric Boogie" is a dark blue (but not too dark- it doesn't look black at night) with some teal sparkles. So much nicer in person! 5 Blings!



Last but not least, we have "Freestyle". This is a perfect light mint green with silver shimmer. Just a little background- Barielle first started with horse products, and a freestyle is where a horse and rider "dance" to music. This color does seem to convey the special precision that goes into such a perfectly timed production, and earns 4.5 Blings (which would equate to a freestyle score of 95%- off the charts!).

Full Disclosure: The following product(s) was provided to Wizards Of Bling by the manufacturer or PR company for consideration.

Petites Color Fever "Electric Indigo"

This color is absolutely stunning! Slightly brighter than the pics, this was also quick to dry and easy to apply (he he that rhymes, lol). The thing about almost all of these is I love them so much I just have to wear them! I don't know what more I can say- just buy this if you can! 5 Blings!

Claire's Mood polish Win from Sawan Part II

Overall these went on well, fairly opaque- two coats each. Nice color selection :)


Of all the ones I'm reviewing, this one stole the show. It's Happy/Earthy and it is fabulous! This doesn't just change shades, it changes from grass green to bright yellow- hot! 5 Blings!


I also love this blue/aqua combo called Peaceful/Confident. Decent color change and gorgeous color. 4 Blings.

Although I love the pink, this one didn't change hardly at all. It could be because my nails are too short to show a difference. Gotta love the name though: Fabulous/Funky. 3.5 Blings


This one was wild too! Grey to orangey taupe. Daring/Innocent has a good color change to it also. 4 Blings.

Petites Color Fever - Cream Blue

This is Petites Color Fever - Cream Blue. The color is a little darker than the pics. Once again this is one coat and no top coat. It dried fast and application was easy! This polish is the bomb! 4.5 Blings

Fascinating New Petites Color Fever Swatches!

I've got Color Fever! This just gets better and better as you scroll down ;) Here are a few of the Petites polish swatches for your enjoyment! These are all going on fantastic, drying fast, and very opaque- one coat with a bit of VNL or two coats tops!

Above is "Figi", a beautiful teal blue shimmer.4 Blings


This one is "Wild Plum" and it is just beautiful. Mom (Sylvia) thought she already had enough purples, so this was my major score :) It doesn't come out at all in the pictures, but trust me it is a keeper! 4.5 Blings


This is Black Diamond, which has magical holographic powers, as you'll see below. 5+ Blings!

This is Black Diamond (one coat) over Fiji! So this means BD makes any color a darker holographic! OMG! Must have!

FYI found these at Rite Aid BOGO 1/2 off. More to come, stay tuned!

I wanna be a Groupie

It's not bad hair day, it's duochrome day!

This is so fabulous, and it just won't show it's full glory on camera. You're seeing the blue flash, but you aren't seeing the dark fuchsia flash. This is "Groupie" by L.A. Girl Rock Star and it gets 5 Blings easy!

The infamous "Scrangie Dupe"

Well, I really don't know how much of a dupe this is because I don't have RBL - Scrangie polish. By the time I got up the courage to pay that much it was sold out. This is Sally Hansen - Grape Going. This is three coats with a top coat of Poshe'. I Love this color! It reminds me of finely machined and oiled steel. This is a gorgeous purple and blue green duo-chrome, I just wish it covered in two coats. And dry time was very slow.
I think this may be back up worthy! Sadly no sun could be found for the pics in the Emerald City. LOVE! 5 Blings

Disco Lives! Glamorous Break Up!

If this combo wasn't made to go Clubbing at Studio 54 I don't know what was! Hubby said it was to much, and it may be for 2010, but it would be right at home in the 70's.
The movie Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta was my first R movie I saw. ;) Ahh, Good Times! My older brother took me to see the Bee Gee's in '79 at the King Dome. God they were Awesome! Then Disco died and I moved on to Van Halen and Heavy Metal. :)
This is two coats of Hard Candy - Break Up over OPI - Glamour. No top coat. 4.5 Blings

My Blingaling!

WoW! I cant believe I keep hitting so many great polish's in a row! This is OPI - DS Glamour. I have to say this is another HG! This is two coats that applied like a dream, with no top coat. And what can I say, it's just a knock out! Love, Love, Love! 5 Blings
