Tammy Taylor - Dazzle Rocks Nail Polish

These are her Dazzle Rocks Nail Polishes, various color glitters suspended in a clear polish base.

I can't find them on the painful Tammy Taylor Website, so I don't have a link or prices... Sorry.

They are each labeled with "Dazzle Me Up" red, blue, or black. The silver one is different, it's Dazzle Me Up Stardust and my gold bottle is missing a label, so I don't know if it's called gold, or something fancier.

For each of these swatches I used one coat over the colored nail polishes so you could see the opacity. The ring finger nail shows 3 coats of the Dazzle Rocks nail polish over my natural nail.

Stardust over China Glaze Laced Up

Mystery gold color over Sinful Colors Endless Blue

Blue over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Green With Envy

Black over Sally Hansen CSM Lavender Cloud

(I really like how it's a mix of black and silver)

Red over theBalm Mellow Yellow

The glitter polishes were easy to apply and the glitter seems to disperse evenly without any extra effort. Each of them are pretty topcoat hungry in that it looked best with 2 coats of Seche Vite topcoat.

Born Pretty Store Holographic Polish - #3 Pink, #8 Blue, & #11 Purple

Born Pretty Store has recently put up their own line of holographic polish.

#3 can be found here for $5.59. The bad part is that it's only for 6mL of polish.
You can tell my bottle is not as vibrant or hot pink as the site photos. I applied 3 coats. Coverage was easy, no trouble with patchiness or dragging like some holo polishes. Dry time was fast.

It's so mesmerizing. I could stare at my nails in the sun all day.

#8 can be found here for $5.59. 3 easy coats. No trouble at all!

#11 is a dark purple. Found here for $5.59

So do you love them? If you end up buying any, use my coupon code and get 10% off.

Are you looking for an "in-your-face" bright cobalt blue for a great price? Check out this beauty.

I love how affordable this brand is, and they can have a great formula too. Pictured is just 2 coats of Endless Blue, and it is in fact that bright when on your nails.

Chevrons With Craft Scissors

These colors compliment each other so well! China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle & Sunday Funday! I did a simple mixed up look with two accent nails of chevron pattern. For the chevron nails I just cut some strips of scotch tape with those zigzag crafting scissors to mask off the chevrons.

These got a lot of attention at work!

Twilight Gradient

Not like the movie Twilight, just in that this is reminiscent to the sky at dusk.

Sinful Colors Black on Black

These pictures were after a days worth of wear, so that's why they are kind of dinged up if you look close.

Mosaics

I wanted to experiment with a random pattern of striping tape to get a mosaic look. I felt like these colors made for a unique combination.

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White (let it dry THOROUGHLY) then masked off the geometric shapes with striping tape. I then filled in each section with polish and removed the tape before it had a chance to dry much.

The polishes I used were:

China Glaze Lemon Fizz
Orly Ancient Jade
Sinful Colors Rainstorm
China Glaze Passion For Petals
China Glaze Sea Spray

Braceface Nail Art

This was a great suggestion from LittleMonsterx14. I remembered this cartoon once she suggested it! I really enjoyed it growing up.

Some info from wikipedia:

"Braceface is a Canadian animated series that aired on Teletoon in Canada, and on Disney Channel and ABC Family in the United States, as well as Pop Girl in Australia. It is produced by American actress Alicia Silverstone. Sharon Spitz is the main character of the series. Like most girls, Sharon sometimes does get into trouble and messes up like every other teen, but she always learns from her mistakes and sets things right in the end, no matter what the situation. Sharon is also known to be a clumsy girl and, would usually end up embarrassing herself somehow."

My poor planning lead to her face not fitting entirely on my nail. I wanted to include her cute smile since her braces were the whole point behind the title. So I just made braces run across the tips of my other nails. The blue is China Glaze Bahamian Blue and the rest are acrylic paints.

Her face came out a little jaundiced looking because the yellow paint doesn't agree with anything being put on top of it. So the yellow from her hair bled through the beige face color by the time I took my pictures.

Bonkers Nail Art

Another cartoon look. This one is lesser known, but I remember being a fan.

It aired from 1993-1995 on the Disney Channel.

From wikipedia - "The premise of the series was that Bonkers D. Bobcat, an anthropomorphic bobcat who was a popular cartoon star had washed out of show business and became a cop. He was made the junior partner of Detective Lucky Piquel, a grim and ill-tempered human who hates toons. Throughout the series, the pair work together to solve crimes in the Hollywood, Los Angeles, California region. Bonkers repeatedly tried to win Piquel's praise, but usually just ended up ruining missions with his antics."

I painted Bonker's face on my thumb nail, then my ring nail is an outline of a police shield with the logo name across it. Polishes used - Orly Snowcone, Shimmer Polish Maria, OPI Honey Ryder, & Kiss Nail Art Striper in black. All the rest are acrylic paints.

Bobby's World

Do you remember Bobby's World? It ran from 1990 to 1998 on FOX Kids. It was created by Howie Mandel (I didn't know that prior to looking this up!) It's based on the life of an energetic little 4 year old with a big imagination.

Tutorial?

I started with OPI...Eurso Euro, each subsequent step was created with acrylic paint.

OPI...Eurso Euro

I was recently introduced to the website Beyond Polish. They offer an excellent selection of nail polish because they carry so many great brands. Their prices are reasonable as well, which is always nice! They were nice enough to provide some polishes for me to review here for you guys.

OPI...Eurso Euro

From the Euro Centrale collection, can be found for $6.95 here at Beyond Polish.

Deep creme blue. I like that it doesn't lean towards black in low lights. It stays most definitely blue. Pictured is 2 coats, the formula was great I had no issues with application.
