The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week : Neutrals

Welcome to the first Digit-al Dozen Week of 2014! And we are doing monochromatic! Today I choose to do neutrals to go along with my Neutral Mondays that I have been doing. I was inspired by TopCoatIt: Chocolate Mountains, mine are just grey! :)

A reason to break out a ton of grey? Yes please! And this isn't even a pinch of my greys! Mmmm, I love me greys! So calming and purdy!

I started out with Essence Romeo as my base (best grey ever!) Then I used Catrice London's Weather Forecast, followed by Duri Gin Greyhound, and then Revlon Iconic. I topped it off with my fabulous grey glitter that I had custom made by Dragon Lacquer called: Geeky Owl! :)

Topped it off with NYC In a New York Minute. I love how this turned out. Simple but very neat.

Neutral Mondays: Essie Chinchilly with Flakies!

Ah, Monday we meet again. Actually, with no job, Monday's aren't all that bad! :) Especially while wearing a nice neutral like Essie Chinchilly. 

Now I've seen a few different versions of this color some that are more brown or more grey. But either way it's a lovely taupe-y grey color that is just perfect. I decided to add a little fun to it.

Flakies! Remember when these were all the rage? Especially the Finger Paints Flakies? I bought the entire collection that first week they were out, but I haven't used them that much. But here I used Finger Paints Twisted. I used NYC In a New York Minute as my top coat.

Honestly I forgot how fun flakies are. They can brighten up a simple mani and add a bit magic to your mani!

Are you a flakie fan?

Neutral Mondays: Revlon Autumn Spice

Today on Neutral Monday I have a polish that I searched stores for weeks until I finally found it! This is Revlon Autumn Spice. It is part of their Parfumerie line. 

I've never had a scented polish before because a lot of times they are way too strong and perfum-y. But I heard so many good things about this one, I knew I had to try it.

This is two coats topped with HK Girl Top Coat. And yes, you can still smell the spice scent, even after a few days! I just love the color! It is gorgeous!

Funny story, while buying this polish (finally found it at Ulta!) the cashier said that this was the only good smelling one in the line. She said when they came in she sat there and smelled them all! Hahaha! 

I haven't tried any of the others. Have you? Do you like them?

Neutral Mondays: Essence - As Long As You Love Me

Welcome Owlets to Neutral Mondays! This is where I bring you the beautiful colors that I love: neutrals! So that means grey (or gray, however you want to spell it!), brown, beige, taupe, ivory, black, white, silver..etc.

Some Neutral Mondays may just be a quick swatch of a new neutral that I got! (Like today) And other Neutral Mondays will be how to spiffy it up, but neutrals are cool.......urm well, they aren't are they, they are neutrals (color theory humor for you). How about, neutrals are awesome! Yep, that works.

So today I bring you Essence As Long As You Love Me from the Beauty Beats Collection. 

Ok, so I was at Ulta looking around at the new collections and saw this grey. I knew I had to have it. But then I saw whose line it was......Justin Bieber! Ugh! I so didn't buy any of the NOPI of his line because I can't stand him! (Sorry for those of you who do, he's just not my type of music).

Have you ever not bought a polish because of the person the collection was associated with? I mean I know we've bought polishes for names alone, right? 

Bought I kept look at this polish and just gave a big sigh and sucked it up and bought it. It helps that the name of the polish is also a Backstreet Boy's song! Oh yeah, I liked them in high school! :)

This is two coats with HK Girl Top Coat. And like all my other Essence polishes, excellent formula! And look at the shimmer! It's a beaut! Definitely a keeper! 

Will add this to my pile of other greys. One cannot have too many greys, at least that's my motto!

So I hope you guys like this new feature where I get to feature my fav neutrals and prove I am the Neutral Queen (for nail polishes only, I am not a ruler in any way shape or form!) (Hahaha!)
