Party in a Bottle Collection Review and Mani's

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I have been given the honor to play and review the  "Party in a Bottle Collection"
by 10.1 Polish .
These Polishes are 5 free and apply smoothly and evenly.
I've have lots of pictures and some Mani's as well to share.
So lets get on this wave......

SURFS UP



These Polishes are "Toppers" but can be used without a base too.
I always use a peel off base when ever I am using Glitter/Chunky Polishes.
Removal can be a pain without one.
There is a trick tho to speed up the removal time.
Soak either a cotton ball,small piece of paper towel, or which ever product you 
normally use to remove your polish..
What I do is load my cuticle and skin area with tons of oil/lotion etc.
Then apply your soak with acetone cotton ball on top of your nail.
Then wrap your finger tip with aluminium/ foil.
You can find foil sheets at Dollar Tree and just cut them into sections.
Leave this on your nail of about 5 minutes. 
Once time is up, check it out.
Try to wipe your nail clean, if it doesn't all come off then repeat the steps above.
On the Left side I applied 1 coat plus Top Coat over a plain nail.
On the Right side I applied 1 coat plus a Top Coat over a Black Base.

Top Left - 2 coats plus TC over Navy Blue.
Top Right - 2 coats plus TC over a Baby Blue.
Bottom Left - 2 coats plus TC over a Bright Purple.
Bottom Right - 2 coats plus TC over a light Beige .
** I really wanted to see how interchangeable  these toppers are.**

I used 2 thin coats plus a TC over a Black and White base.
W216

"Paint Ball Anyone" Was my least favorite out of the 4.
I wanted the Challenge and decided to use this one.
It's truly amazing how different color bases can change your
opinion on a Polish.
I like this Topper now :) 
I used Dashica Beauty Shop "Infinity Nails" plate.
IN50 



Have you ever had a Polish that you didn't like at first but then gave it a 
try and ended up liking?

Thank You for Surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.

10.1 Polish "Icing Collection" Review

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I have been given the opportunity to do a review on 
10.1 Polish "Icing Collection"
First I am going to share a statement form the store in regards to this collection.

It has been brought to my attention that some explanation in the difference between Icing and mixing regular polish into top coat might be needed. First off, Icing is of course 5 free for those of you that are wanting those polishes. Secondly, it is made in a suspension base, not a top coat. This ensures even distribution of color throughout the entire bottle. Finally, because it is made in a suspension base, there is no settling, the color remains mixed.

Above statement is straight from the 10.1 Polish Facebook Page.

There's 8 colors total in this collection.
~Cherry Blast
~Cantaloupe Catastrophe 
~Lemon Cupcake 
~Kiwi Delight
~Blueberry Blues
~Plum-Tastic
~Coconut Bliss 
~Black Licorice 
These are sheer and can be used in many different ways.
~You can use it as a base.
~You can put this ontop of your current polished nails and it'll change the tone of your Mani.
~You can stamp in White over a dark base and come back and color over it with out ruining your base.
(make sure you use a tc before you polish over your image)
~You can add a bunch of colors to one nail  as a base.

I have tried many of these ways already.
So are you ready to see a bunch of pictures?

A New Floral Bouquet Mani

Hello Nail Surfers 


Welcome to My Beach.

I have been away from my blog for far to long.
I have had lots of new things going on.
Most are Great things but there has been a fair share of bad as well.
In between all of that I have been keeping up with my nails and art.
I have Lots and Lots to share.. 
I don't even know where to begin.
I am on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest the most.
But my goal is to keep you guys here updated too :) 
 I understand that not everyone is part of those social networks and they 
still would like to see and hear about all the Nail World.
So my goal is to post more frequently.

SURFS UP


10.1 Polish is an affordable Indie Polish for any budget.
This is the second collection.
These are sheer polishes that can have many purposes.
You can use these plain on your nails.
(which I did a french using the Coconut Bliss)
I'll be posting that soon.
You can slightly  change your current base color, you can add as many
or less colors per nail, like I did for this Mani.
And you can even color over images with these as well.
It's "Icing", so anything can go.
These are Five Free as well..

I applied 1 thin coat of "Coconut Bliss" as a base.
Then I applied Cherry Blast, Cantaloupe Catastrophe,Lemon Cupcake,
Kiwi Delight, Blueberry Blues and Plum Tastic. all on each nail.
Once it dried I went back and added a 2nd coat anywhere that looked
to sheer. After they all dried I applied a topcoat to help blend the colors together.
I topped this all off with Bunny Nails Buna-B plate.
I used Cosmetic Arts Black polish for stamping and added a final coat of topcoat.


Check out My Buddy Laurie'sBlog for Monkey See Monkey Do.

Have you ever tried any Indie Polishes before?
Or have you tried using a new technique for bases?
I have been playing around with all of these colors and I am really liking all 
possibilities  they have.

Thank You for surfing my wave.
I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.
