Precision Twilight Zone

Posted on 30 May, 201316 November, 2013 by Cynthia

Do you remember watching The Twilight Zone when you were a kid? Omg…I used to live for The Twilight Zone and I Love Lucy marathons that would run during Thanksgiving weekend. I haven’t caught them on TV in ages, so it makes me sad to think that maybe no one watches these shows anymore. Ugh…sometimes I sound so old, don’t I? You can usually catch me talking about the “good old days” before we had the internet and we used to actually go outside to PLAY. PLAY!!! Do kids even know what that is anymore? It seems that all they want to do is play with their iPhones and other devices–major sadness. The reason I started thinking about all that is because I have a very lovely polish to share with you: Précision Twilight Zone.

I don’t care what you say: Précision Twilight Zone is drop dead gorgeous. Well, if you’re on this blog then you probably really like nail polish and you will immediately fall in love with this polish so I don’t have to threaten you with bodily harm or anything. This is such a beautiful deep raisin/aubergine color with some gorgeous scattered holo. The formula on this polish was really good as it covered at two coats. I found this at some random beauty supply along with Wine, Dine and Shine (which you can see here), and I wish I knew if these came from a scattered holo collection or what because I want them all!!! I always hesitate to feature polishes that are probably hard to find, but I just couldn’t keep this beauty all to myself.

Work wasn’t as crazy today so at least I had an ok day on that end, and I hope that I get more of the same tomorrow. It’s 6:30 now so that means that I should be taking a shower and then getting ready for bed…how pathetic. Anyway, I know I won’t actually got to bed so early since I still have to apply to at least 5 jobs. I know that if I keep focusing on being consistent with sending out resumes, I will find something soon so I can escape the 7th circle of hell which is my current job. Thanks for stopping by today! Catch you later.

Precision Shine, Wine N Dine

All products featured in this post were purchased by me.

Hello there and happy Thursday. Normally I would be all excited that it’s Thursday because one of my favorite shows, Scandal, is on tonight but since I have to go to bed so early, I won’t get to watch it until tomorrow. Double poop. Anyway, at least there will be one good thing to look forward to tomorrow. I’m really excited about the polish I’m featuring today because it’s just so dang pretty. I actually got this polish the day that stupid dog bit me–and from the shop where the dog bit me. I’m not going to let that experience taint my love for this outrageously gorgeous baby. Are you ready to see Précision Shine, Wine N Dine?

I decided to post four pictures of Précision Shine, Wine N Dine: the first two in artificial light and the second set out in direct sunlight. It’s not always possible for me to take picture in direct sunlight so I’ve been relying on my light box ever since I started working. Précision Shine, Wine N Dine is a gorgeous pink based red polish with very fine and delicate holographic particles suspended throughout the squishy jelly base. Being a jelly, it’s rather sheer so you do need 3 or more coats for complete coverage. I think that the fine holo particles really kick this polish up a notch.

Since I just received my Winstonia Store stamping plates, I was dying to try them out. Here I used Pure Ice Silver Mercedes to stamp an image from plate W113. If you’re ever looking for a perfect silver stamping polish, you have to get Silver Mercedes because it’s just perfection. Look how clear it transfers! I was also worried that the full nail images might be too small for my wide and curved nails, but the size was perfect on this image. I can’t wait to try it more of the designs and hope to have a full review of the plates for you in the near future.

Holy shiznit, that was a fun mani! I haven’t been doing much stamping lately just because I haven’t had much time, but there is also a more tragic reason: I think I may have thrown away all my stamping plates by mistake. I am hoping that maybe I put them in a box in my closet the last time I was trying to get everything organized, but I also remember that I threw out tons of stuff so I really hope I didn’t through out my stamping plates. I think I had about 100 plates altogether so that makes me want to cry. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I bought an extra bottle of this gorgeous polish for a future giveaway. In fact, I’m hoping to reach 1,500 likes on Facebook so I can have a super fun giveaway so spread the word! I’m way behind on responding to comments lately, but I promise to get to them soon. Thanks so much for the visit today and talk to you soon!

Precision Toxic Love Collection

Posted on 13 November, 201216 November, 2013 by Cynthia

I am crazy lucky because I have some really amazing independent beauty supply stores that are veritable treasure troves full of different brands and hard to find polishes. Every time I go to one of them, I feel like I discover something new which is what happened a few months ago when I came across a display of Precision nail polishes. I reviewed one of their summer collections here and was thoroughly impressed with the quality. Today I have to share with you one of their Fall collections called Toxic Love.

Précision I’m Addicted To You…

Précision I’d Love To Hate You

Précision Till Death Do Us Part

Précision Intoxicated

Précision Toxic Wast-ing My Time

Précision Poison Ivy

Overall, this is a very typical fall collection but I have to say that I just about died when I used Poison Ivy and Intoxicated. They are by far my two favorite colors from this collection. The formula was pretty good even though a few colors were a little thinner than I like, but they still built up nicely. The only downside about this brand is that it might be a little difficult to get it locally if you don’t like to buy online. I have a few places near me that sell them so I’m lucky. You can purchase their polishes online here. They also have a tool where you can see if there are any places near you that carry Précision products.

So what do you think of these colors? Any of them stand out to you? Thanks for visiting and I’ll talk to you later.
