Matte About Who?

Hey my follow polish addicts!! I have a new mani to share with you. I'm so grateful for the ladies that have polishing experience and note-worthy creativity. Without them I wouldn't have learned about the different trends I now love so much.

One of these trends is matte nail polish. I first saw matte polish in a Duane Reade store and OPI had them in their line. I didn't like it very much then but now I found Essie's "Matte About You" polish that makes any polish matte, and I absolutely love it!! I've already tried two manis with it and here they are:

base color: Brucci Nail Hardener in Elizabeth's A "Natural"

 Bundle Monster BM02 lip stamp in Sally Hansen's Commander in Chic

 Essie's Matte About You top coat for a matter a finish

Base color: Sinful Colors in Pink Forever

         Free hand design using Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pen in White (I love that thing!) 

Black Disco Ball

Black polish is a first for me so to tone it down a little I topped it off with some GLITTER!!! I never really liked glitter before but now I'm obsessed! (I hope that's not a bad thing)....Here's the mani...

 L.A. Colors in Black Velvet

I really liked this polish. After the base coat it went on really opaque in just 1 coat and a half.

Sally Hansen "Strobe Light"

 This is the result! ^>^

(Out of the stark light)

The next two pics is just showing off the effect in dim lighting. Cool, huh?

Glitz anyone?!

In first two pictures: Sally Hansen Celeb City...I did like 1 coat and a half so the base wouldn't be solid silver
Last two pics: Celeb City with S.H's In the Spotlight on top

**Tip for In the Spotlight application: Fish around for the glitter strips. Try to get as many strips on the brush with as little clear polish as possible. If you have to keep brushing to get all the strips you want on your nail, the polish starts to pile on which will cause it to chip faster later.

Another Mani

I'll give these posts better names when I start posting more and when I get more polishes lol....Here goes:

A Warm Welcome to Myself...

Hello World! This is me! Janelba!...Ok, I'll bring down the cheer (was giving myself a headache) lol....I'm new to Blog Spot. Just got a Tumblr account not to long ago actually. I hope you like it. I'm be posting things I see on the web that I like. Quotes from books and TV and just plain everything.

Please forgive all the grammar errors in this post. I'm writing fast before I head off to class.

I called this blog what I called it as a spin off from the idiom "Johnny on the spot" which basically means ready for anything (NO! Not in that sense! lol)...With this blog I plan to explore and write about things that are happening in the NOW! Trends, news, something I may be doing at the time you name it.

Anyway, that's enough for my 1st post. Thanks for reading! Hope you'll stick around.
