Red Coat Tuesday - Fair Maiden Polish High Priestess

*purchased by me*


Hey there! Tonight I have a quick Red Coat Tuesday post for you.  I recently got Fair Maiden Polish High Priestess which is a pink leaning red with gold to pink shifting shimmer and decided it would be a great color to wear for Pretty Little Liars tonight.  You'll see a pic with it more leaning more pink below. 


I don't usually wear gold toned polishes cause they don't look great with my skin tone, but I do think this is very pretty. I love the shimmer in it, and it's unique to my collection. I had a really hard time photographing this to show the actual color, but the colors above are very close.  It is a rather sheer polish so I used three coats and topcoat. 


As I mentioned this polish leans pink and most of my photos looked like this. It's definitely much more red on the nails, but I love the shimmer in this pic so had to share.   

Unfortunately I don't have a PLL recap tonight cause honestly I can't remember what happened at week! Hopefully I'll find this week's episode more memorable!

Red Coat Tuesday featuring Chaos & Crocodiles Never Give Up On A Miracle

*purchased by me*
 

Hey there! There's a new episode of Pretty Little Liars on tonight so that means I have a new Red Coat Tuesday mani for you!  


This week I'm wearing Chaos & Crocodiles Never Give Up On A Miracle.  This polish is a gorgeous cranberry-red ultra linear holographic polish with a violet arc. This is two coats of the polish, but it could have been a one coater. I just always prefer two coats! 


I wanted to show you this in different light. Isn't the holo in this fantastic?  I am in love with this color. Although it's from an X-Files collection I think it works fine for Red Coat Tuesday too!  


Now onto the PLL chat!  Spoiler Alert for those of you not caught up. Let's start with Spencer and her lunch "appointment" with Yvonne. First off, who set that up? Mona? And second, why would Yvonne leave her phone? She wouldn't have, and it's very convenient that Mona was the one there to pick it up. What is she up to?  I think Spencer and Aria are crazy to search Sara Harvey's room! I wouldn't want to get caught by her, but I am intrigued to see where the hole in her closet wall leads. 

Overall I thought it was a good episode. What did you think? What are you looking forward to for tonight's episode? I'm curious to see how Ali knows the golf club wasn't the murder weapon and what actually was!

Red Coat Tuesday - Baroness X Doomfire


Hey there! Today I have for you a new post for Red Coat Tuesday which means there's a new episode of Pretty Little Liars on tonight.  I didn't get a chance to do nail art this week, but I do have a beautiful polish to share with you. 
 

I started with a base of two coats of OPI In the Cable Car-Pool Lane.  This polish was more sheer than I expected and very streaky. If I was going to wear it on its own I would have done a third coat. 
 

I knew I wanted to use Baroness X Doomfire for two reasons. First I wanted to see what it would look like over a red base, and second it worked with my alphabetical untrieds challenge cause today is the letter X. 
 

Doomfire is one of those colors that looks great over blues and purples, but I haven't seen it layered over red much.  When I picked up my bottle I actually saw a lot of red in it so thought it would look amazing over a red base.  It doesn't show the blue or purple dash much, but if you look at the picture below you can see a green flash. 
 

Doomfire is a group custom that I am so happy I was able to get. I love colors like this, and I know the pigment Baroness X used is very hard to come by! I honestly couldn't capture this beauty well on my phone.  It's so much sparklier in person! 
 

Now onto some Pretty Little Liars gossip! Spoiler Alert if you aren't caught up. So I did not like Toby's girlfriend. Toby should be with Spencer. I really hoped there would be more of a reaction from him about her new relationship with Caleb. I am glad that Hanna came clean to her mom. I think the liars wouldn't have been in so much trouble if they came clean all along. 

What did you think of last week's episode? Thoughts on this week?

Red Coat Tuesday - Stardust Polish and Rica

*purchased by me*


Hey there!  I'm back with another Red Coat Tuesday post so that means there's a new episode of Pretty Little Liars on tonight.  Yay!!


For this week's look I decided to do some nail art.  I started with a base of two coats of Stardust Polish Infrared Apex.  I actually wore this color for two days with no tip wear or chipping.  I used MoYou London Princess 12 plate and Rica Blackout to create the roses on my middle and ring fingers then I finished them with Butter London Matte Finish. On my index and pinkie finger I added a dot of Blackout with a dotting tool and finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top


SPOILER TIME: Last week's episode of PLL was interesting.  Hanna erasing the tape was probably not the smartest move, but I did like that Lucas tried to help her out.  Sara Harvey really annoys me, and it's creepy how she's just always where Emily is. I also don't think it's a great idea for Aria to continue writing Ezra's book for him, but that's just my opinion!  I am looking forward to Toby's reaction to the Spencer/Caleb storyline tonight.  


I'm happy with how my nails turned out. The matte topcoat messed up my stamping a little, but I still think this look is something the liars would wear! 

What are your thoughts on last week's episode?

Red Coat Tuesday - Pahlish Blood On The Mountain II

*purchased by me*

 
Hey there!  I'm so excited that we've decided to continue with Red Coat Tuesday now that Pretty Little Liars is back on.  To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about this season yet, but I do love the show so I was happy to participate again! 
 

I've also been doing an alphabetical untrieds challenge which is just a personal challenge I started to make myself change my polish more often and to get through more untrieds. Each day I wear a new color, and I select them alphabetically by brand.  For my "P" post I selected Pahlish Blood Of The Mountain II which fit perfectly for Red Coat Tuesday. 


Blood Of The Mountain II is a beautiful garnet red jelly with a mix of pink and gold flakes and scattered holographic flakes. It's stunning!  I definitely see this color as a shade one of the liars would wear!  
 

Pahlish has become one of my favorite indie brands.  I think that her finishes are stunning and the flakes in this polish are no exception.  Also, you can't go wrong with a nice dark red polish! 


SPOILER ALERT (for those of you not caught up): For a long time I thought Ezra was A, and now it seems to be pointing in that direction again. I don't think it's him though.  I'm not sure who murdered Charlotte, but it doesn't feel like it's Ezra to me.  Also, what the hell is going on with Spencer and Caleb? Whatever it is, it's not right! 

What do you think of this season? Any idea who killed Charlotte? Thoughts on the Spencer/Caleb storyline?

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring Zoya Demetria

*purchased by me*
 

Hey there!  Today is the season finale of Pretty Little Liars so it was decided we would bring back Red Coat Tuesday which I couldn't be more excited about!  This season has actually been really good in my opinion, and I'm just hoping for a big reveAl tonight!  
 

For my Red Coat Tuesday post I started with a base of Zoya Demetria which is a very unique, but beautiful red.  


When my base was completely dry, I added Green Goddess Creations Pretty Little Liars water slide nail decals. I received these as a gift from my friend Joy and have been waiting to wear them. I think they are perfect for the summer finAle!  


Each slide is one of the main girls, Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer plus the It's Me Bitches A decal!  I did have a little trouble getting the water decals not to have air bubbles, but otherwise I'm happy with how they turned out.  


I'm so excited for tonight's episode, and I can't wait to see who Charles is. Supposedly we are going to finally come face to face with A, but we've heard that before so we'll see!  

How have you felt about this season? Any ideas who A is?

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring Rica This Heart Of Mine

*purchased by me*


Hey there and Happy Tuesday! It's almost time for Pretty Little Liars, and I can't wait!  This week's Red Coat Tuesday post features This Heart Of Mine by Rica


This Heart Is Mine is a bright red holographic polish. It was released as a limited edition as a portion of the proceeds benefit the America Heart Association. I love buying a polish for a good cause, and when it turns out this gorgeous it's even more worth it. 


This is two coats of This Heart Of Mine plus topcoat. The formula was great and really easy to use. 


Now, the point of Red Coat Tuesday is because Pretty Little Liars is on so let's talk about last week's episode. Spoiler Alert in case you haven't watched yet! Alison was offered a plea bargain if she named one of the liars as her accomplice.  Aria, Emily, and Ezra searched more into who Varjak is. Caleb talked Hanna into coming clean to Tanner about everything, but "A" hacked into her phone and erased everything causing Hanna to get arrested as an accomplice to Mona's murder. 


So do you think that Ali should have taken the plea? Who do you think Varjak is? What will happen with Ali and Hanna both in jail? Will they team up?  
 
With only three episodes left of the season and the big "A" reveal coming soon I know tonight's episode will be great!

Red Coat Tuesday featuring Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Dawn Breaks and Hypothermia


Hey there! It's almost time for Pretty Little Liars, and you know what that means...it's Red Coat Tuesday!  


First off, about last week's episode (Spoilers).  Hanna's Dad was really kind of a jerk to her. He should have had money for his actual daughter to go to college not just his step daughter.  Also, I still think Jonny is shady and gonna cause more harm than good. We shall see! 


For my Red Coat Tuesday mani I used Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Dawn Breaks (which a friend bought for me) and did an accent nail of Hypothermia (which I got free with the Spark in the Dark collection). Dawn Breaks is a beautiful red linear holo with gold and purple shimmers. Hypothermia is a limited edition polish that is a purple holo with purple shimmers. I thought these two paired nicely together! 


You can purchase Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer polishes here.  Please like her on Facebook and follow her on Instagram

Any thoughts on Pretty Little Liars? What do you think will happen tonight?

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring Pacifica Red Red Wine and Rica Whiteout

*purchased by me*


Hey there! It's Red Coat Tuesday! Yay! I'm actually liking this season of Pretty little Liars so I've been looking forward to new episodes. I don't like Alison so having her not be in the show much this season really helps, plus I just want to know what's going on with Mike. Oh, and having Jason back doesn't hurt. He's so hot! 


For this week's mani I used Pacifica Red Red Wine and Rica Whiteout and did some stamping with MoYou London The Pro XL 08 plate. This is two coats of each polish with stamping in the opposite color.  This was my first time using a Pacifica polish, and I was really impressed.  As you know Rica is one of my favorite indie brands, and Whiteout is my go to white for nail art.


I'm still not great with stamping, but practice is definitely helping. I'm really happy with how this turned out.  It's also a great Valentine's Day mani! 


Tonight we're halfway through the season so here are my questions so far for this season of PLL. Who or what really is in the barrel?  Who is Mike leaving the trick or treat bags for? Who is that guy renting the Hasting's barn? His "secrets" machine will certainly stir up trouble!  I might have missed this, but when did Ezra buy the coffee shop and decide to turn it into a bookstore? Was that ever mentioned? And what's the deal with Holbrook? 

I hope you liked my mani! What are your thoughts on this season? Any predictions?

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring A England Briar Rose and Fated Prince

*purchased by me*


Hey there! Time for another Red Coat Tuesday and a new Pretty Little Liars episode.  Yay!  Sadly, I broke the nail on my index finger over the weekend so as you can see I'm back to nubbins. 


I usually wear brighter reds for Red Coat Tuesday so this week I decided to go with a different shade of red. I used A England Briar Rose/Sleeping Beauty with an accent of A England Fated Prince. I used two coats of each polish, and I added some loose heart glitters that I got from KBShimmer on my accent nail.  I finished up the mani with KBShimmer Clearly On Top.  


Briar Rose is a really pretty cranberry/scarlet scattered holographic. Sleeping Beauty is one of my all time favorite stories so I was really excited when A England came out with the Burnes-Jones Dream collection.  Fated Prince is a really cool color. It's a grey scattered holo with olive green undertones. I'm gonna have to wear it again soon without the heart glitters over it so I can really appreciate it's beauty. I placed an order with KBShimmer last week, and she included these cute hearts in my order.  I thought they would look cute with this mani so decided to try them out.      


The formula on these polishes was great, and I really love the subtle holo. I could have gotten away with one coat of Briar Rose, but definitely needed two coats of Fated Prince.  I'm still not sure how I feel about the heart glitters.  I wish they would lay flat on my nail. 

Sorry this post wasn't really about Pretty Little Liars.  What do you think will happy on tonight's episode?  What are your thoughts on this season so far?

Red Coat Tuesday Featuring Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer and Zoya


Hey there! I hope everyone in the Northeast is surviving the storm. I'm snowed in with over a foot of snow and more to come, but I live where I work so I'm one of the only people here!  At least Pretty Little Liars is on tonight so that means it's Red Coat Tuesday
 

I used Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer You Just Want To Mate?! and Zoya Spencer for this look. You Just Want To Mate?! is a bright red jelly with orange, red, and gold shimmers. You can totally see the shimmers, and they're lovely!
 

I can't have crazy nail art at work so went with just a simple accent nail using Zoya Spencer as my base which I thought was appropriate since Spencer is one of the Liars! Using single chevron Nail Vinyls I painted the tip with You Just Want To Mate?! and came up with this simple yet classy look.  I received the Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer in a giveaway and purchased the Zoya during a clearance sale at Ulta! 
 

I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode.  I'm so curious about what's in the barrel! 

Are you wearing red for Red Coat Tuesday? What or who do you think is in the barrel? 

Thanks for reading!

Lynnderella Rad Red Party Dress and Red Coat Tuesday

*purchased by me*


Hey there! It's Tuesday, and you know what that means! Red Coat Tuesday! Pretty Little Liars is on, and I'm sporting red nails! 


I have on one coat of Lynnderella Rad Red Party Dress over one coat of Zoya Sooki. Rad Red Party Dress is holographic microglitters so it dried kind of textured.  I finished it off with KBShimmer Clearly On Top topcoat to smooth it out. 


I really love this polish combo, and I'm so excited for PLL tonight! 

Are you wearing red nails for Red Coat Tuesday?
