Latest addition - Claire's Venomous!

Hello! So I went to the mall a few days ago and passed by Claire's and I just had to stop by to check out their nail polishes since I hadn't done so in months! I only managed to pick up two colors, Venomous and some other one I can't remember the name of...but I've been dying to go back to pick up the glittery ones which I left behind after talking myself out of needing more polish, :(

I actually liked this Claire's polish. The only problem with Venomous was that it took way too many coats to get it to look like it does in the bottle. :(

Spanish:
Hola! Como están? :) Hace unos dias fui al mall y decidi entrar a Claire's para ver los esmaltes. Al final sali de la tienda con dos esmaltes y el que les voy a enseñar hoy es Venomous. El color esta precioso pero tomo muchas capas para que se viera como se ve en el bote. :(

Zoya!

Good morning! <3 Today I have a picture of one of my favorite Zoya colors...Crystal (one of the 3 freebies that I picked). I'm actually quite new to Zoya and was very impressed with their polishes after trying them out in their recent 3 free promo on Facebook. The formula was great, the brush was nice and overall very easy to apply. But what really sold me on Zoya polishes was when I did a mani for both my mother and niece and saw a week later they still had their polish in tact with minimal tip wear!! I never have my nail polish on longer than a day or two so I never get to test that out. So big props to Zoya for not only having awesome colors but for making a great overall product!

This was applied quickly (as you can probably tell, I'm sorry!) and had been on for two or three days:

Spanish:
Buenos días! <3 Ahora les tengo una foto de unos de mis favoritos esmaltes de Zoya que se llama Crystal (fue unos de los 3 gratis que recibí). Nunca había comprado esmaltes Zoya pero cuando tuvieron la promoción de 3 gratis en Facebook decidí que era buen tiempo para hacerlo! Y la verdad estoy muy contenta de haberlo hecho porque me gustaron mucho todos los esmaltes. Pero lo que mas me gusto fue de que hace unos días les pinte las uñas a mi mama y sobrina y después de una semana el esmalte todavía se miraba muy bien!

Lazyyy

So I woke up feeling pretty rested and motivated and decided today was the day to get around to cropping some nail pics I have on my memory card. Unfortunately, I only managed to get a few pictures in before a wave of laziness hit me! :( So here is one of the mani's I did get around to cropping! :) A bit messy...I probably could have done 3 coats but as you will come to learn in the near future...I hate doing 3 coats+! On top of that...it didn't look that bad in person! And thanks to Christy's blog sale...I have this awesome purple. This is Funky Fingers in Chesire.

Spanish:
Ahora me desperté con muchas ganas de hacer varias cositas que tenia pendientes...pero no había ni pasado una hora cuando se me fue toda la motivación. :( Pero si logre recortar unas cuantas fotos que tenia en la memoria de mi cámara para poder enseñarles a ustedes! Creo que este esmalte requería 3 capas para que se viera bien en la foto pero como se darán cuenta...odio ponerme 3 capas o mas! Encima de eso, en persona no se miraban los parches que salieron en la foto. Gracias al blog sale que tuvo Christy tengo este esmalte morado! Es de Funky Fingers y se llama Chesire.

Crushed Candy!

I wanted something bright under Crushed Candy so I figured I should try out Poptastic which I bought from the lovely Christy.

Spanish:
Queria un color fuerte debajo de Crushed Candy y se me hizo buena ocasión para probar por primera vez el color Poptastic que compre hace poco en un blog sale que tuvo Christy.

My crackles didn't turn out too great...it's kinda tricky to use. Hopefully my next crackle mani comes out better.
Mi crackle manicure no me salio muy bien pero espero que cuando me ponga los de mas me salga mejor. :)

I finally got my crack[le]!

There is nothing worse than getting a package in the mail full of goodies and not being able to even open it because you are getting ready to go out to a wedding! :( I didn't really have any time to spare, as I was still running around getting ready when it came, but I did manage to open the package and take a peek before leaving and man was I dying to get home! lol Earlier this week I finally got around to placing an order for a few polishes I had really been wanting...and because they look so pretty I decided to take some pictures for you all!

Spanish:

No hay nada peor que recibir un paquete en el correo y no poder abrirlo inmediatamente! Hace unos dias puse una orden para unos esmaltes que queria desde hace tiempo y llegaron ahora cuando me estaba alistando para ir a una boda. Y como siempre, ya andaba un poco apresurada porque me tarde demasiado maquillandome y no mas me quedo tiempo de asegurarme que vinieron todos los esmaltes que ordene y despues me tuve que ir. Todo el dia me la pase pensando en los colores y cual de ellos me iba poner primero jajaja Bueno...aqui los dejo con lo que recibi hoy:

 

Color Club Revvolution and Worth the Risque

 

China Glaze Below Deck and Sea Spray from the Anchors Away collection...And now I'm on the hunt for Ahoy! because I decided I need it now lol

 

China Glaze Hi-Tek (for stamping), Re-freshmint and Metallic Muse (for stamping)

 And of course...the China Glaze Crackle Glaze collection...and I think I may need doubles of some because I am totally loving these! lol

Can't wait to start playing with them all!

No me aguanto por jugar con mis nuevos esmaltes!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Gracias por la visita! :)

So it's 2011...

...and I'm finally getting around to something I've been putting off for ages! A make-up/nail polish blog! Woohoo! :) I've been keeping up with tons of nail polish/make-up blogs for a while now and I figured that even though I'm jumping on the bandwagon a bit late...that it can never hurt to contribute.
Anyway...with that said: Welcome to Freshe Coat! Since I decided to start the blog out of the blue I still have lots to do in terms of layout and stuff but I will definitely get around to it as soon as I can...I just needed to get started because I knew that if I didn't I wouldn't have this blog right now
I will also be doing this blog in Spanish because I haven't encountered many that are in that language. So please feel free to comment in English or Spanish! :)

Spanish:
Bienvenidos a Freshe Coat! Al fin encontre tiempo para empesar un blog! Ya tenia muchos meses con la idea pero nunca me tome el tiempo para hacerlo realidad. Este blog incluira todo relacionado con maquillaje y esmalte de uñas aunque por ahora sera mas de esmaltes. Todavia me hace falta arreglar unas cositas por aqui pero espero terminar todo muy pronto. Para mis seguidores que hablan Español...les quiero dar una disculpa con anticipacion por mi Español. Yo se que no es el mejor y la razon siendo de que mi primera lengua es Ingles (mis papas son hispanos pero yo naci en los Estados Unidos.) :) Pero aun asi tratare de escribir en Español lo mejor que pueda! <3

To start off my blog...I leave you with a slightly sloppy mani. (What a way to make a first impression right!? Sorry!) This is 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On:

Para empesar mi blog los dejo con Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear en el color White On (2 capas):

Base: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in WHITE ON

Konad Plate: M65
Stamp Color: Konad Special Polish in BLACK PEARL
Rhinestones: Sally'sTop Coat: Poshe

 

As per usual with the Xtreme Wear nail polishes...application was alright. (But I hate how loaded the brush gets with polish no matter how much I wipe it off on the bottle before applying!)

Y como siempre con los esmaltes Xtreme Wear...la aplicacion estuvo bien!

Thanks for stopping by!
