Naught-y-cal Funky French

Good evening! It's late but I was in a posting mood! I just have a quick funky french to show you. I like it, but I think it was better in my head than on the nail. I actually think the best thing about this is the title for this post! :c)

For this mani I started with a base of Naughty Nails - The Big "O". Then I free-handed the tips with Rescue Beauty Lounge - Dead Calm. That worked well since it is a very opaque, one-coater polish, so doing tips with it was nice and easy. No streaking, and I didn't have to go back and do a second coat. Then I used LA Colors Art Deco striper in red glitter to go over the "smile line" of my french to sort of hide any wavering in my line.

Have a good night and I will have something new for you in the morning!

Naughty Nailz 'XXX' Collection Swatches

So we've gotten to the last set of Naughty Nailz. This collection has the most scandalous names, and the funnest colors, in my opinion; Blue, purple, neons, glitter!! This set has is all.


WARNING!!! The names for this set are the most naughty of all three collections. Hence, the triple 'X' rating! Do not read with the little ones! This is for you to enjoy in private! (Or with a partner!) Are we even talking about nail polish anymore? I can't even imagine how upset people will be when they do a search for something X rated and get to this blog about nail polish! Hehe! Let's get on with the the naughty!

12 Inch Gang Bang - Let's just get this one out of the way. I am definitely not easily offended, but this is the one polish name out of this whole line that make me cringe. The color however, I love. This is a bright sky blue shimmer.

Lickalottapus - Love it! This one is one I am calling neon, but it's only a little neon. It dries slightly matte (despite looking rather shiny in my swatch) so I am assuming there is some neon pigment in there, but it's not really a glowing, obnoxious, can-be-seen-from-a-mile-away neon. It's just a mega bright, punchy creme pink.


Cummin 4 U - Sun and shade. This is a clear base jam packed with iridescent glitter that flashes mostly green and gold. My swatches mainly look gold, but there was green when I was indoors, I promise. And so you can see how it looks layered:

Lickalottapus + Cummin 4 U


Nipplebiter - Hehe. What a funny name. This is a royal purple with slight blue and magenta shimmer.

Pounded On The Kitchen Table - Yes! An orange! Oh thank heaven. This one I am also calling neon, but just a little. Like Lickalottapus, this dries semi matte, so I believe that there is neon pigment in it, but it isn't over the top. Just nice and bright. The first picture shows the natural color, but doesn't really capture the neon glow, so I added the second one.

Red Hot Fuck - Sorry for the profanity, but that is the name and they aren't shy about it! It's precisely what the label says. This color reminds me of cherry tomatoes. Sexy, I know. This is a light, cherry tomato red with a pinch of orange and a gold shimmer. I am a fan of the color, and definitely of the name!

Now that we have seen all 3 collections here is my final verdict:

Overall I am impressed thanks to the application and dry speed. This brand new line has formula down; even the neons. Did you hear me? Even the neons! They aren't chalky or streaky at all. They aren't as neon as most neons though. But Considering how nicely these all apply, I bet they could punch up the neon and still have great application.

I am however, upset by the color range. When I have them all sitting on my desk, all I see is red and pink, and it makes me feel a bit sad. It's not very exciting. Of course, that is only me. I like green and orange and heaps of glitter. I am sure that for some ladies out there red and pink is their go to polish. And there is nothing wrong with that.

The names are of course what is big about this line, and what would be the main driver to buy these colors. They range from cutely naughty to straight-to-the-point filthy, naughty. So you can purchase what fits your needs for sexual humor/polish satisfaction. They would probably be really great for a girls night/mani-pedi party, a bachelorette party or perhaps if you are a rep for one of those sex toy companies that does parties to see and sell sex toys, maybe this could be a product to add to your line-up.

If a bomb-diggity formula is what drives you to buy polish though, this line is for you. And if you want to forget what the name of that 12 Inch Gang Bang you're wearing is, you can peel off the label.

I must also mention the line of treatments from Naughty Nailz. They have a top coat, base coat and nail hardener: I'm On Top, I'm On Bottom, and Get Hard, respectively. They all retail for $6.95.

I'm On Bottom: I only used this while swatching and never got a chance to test if for wear because I spilled out the entire bottle on my desk. I am seriously the clumsiest person on the planet. BUT I can say that it went on smooth and dried super fast and made a nice base at least for swatching. I had no staining while using it so that is a plus.

Get Hard: I can not say if it made my nails hard because they are probably as hard as can be, but if you need a product to strengthen your nails, why not give it a try? I used it as a base for my first official Naughty mani and like I'm On Bottom, it dried quickly and made a nice base, had no cuticle drag or bald spots and it gave me good wear (even if I only wore it for 2 days since I have to change my polish constantly).

I'm On Top: My main concern with top coat is the dry speed. Wear is not usually a concern because I change polish frequently. So I tested I'm On Top against my go-to, Seche Vite. Dry time was seriously the same between them so the other reasons I may choose I'm On Top over Seche Vite would be:
- The smell: It was less offensive than Seche Vite's wood varnish smell.
- The consistency: It was thinner than SV, but not too thin and it didn't slip around and pool up at the cuticle. It is just thinner. However, this is a negative if you wanted it over glitter, when you would normally like a thicker top coat. Also, because it is thinner, I noticed it picked up a little tint of the red I was wearing, and Seche Vite did not do this.

My two requests for Naughty Nailz:

1) Please release new sets with a different range of colors. Yellows, golds, grays, blacks and of course greens! Green is attached to aphrodisia (at least mythically). I assume it would be overkill to have a XXXX collection, but maybe a "Callgirl Collection" or "Lady of the Night" collection, a "Sweet but Naughty" Collection, a "I Vowed Abstinence and Change my Mind!" collection. The possibilities are endless! And keep it up with the glitters and neons!

2) I absolutely love love love the silhouette of the curvy girl with the big hair on the bottle. So my request is that you make her a nail decal! I think they would fly off the shelves! They would be so cute and sexy! I would wear them with every manicure.

Now that we have seen all the colors, read all the names, and covered the treatments, what do you think? Let me know and as Jenny of Naughty Nailz says: Stay naughty!

Naughty Nailz 'XX' Collection Swatches

Hello all! Today is day 2 of 3 of my Naughty Nailz posts. I hope you are excited! Today we will be looking at the XX Collection, and like I said yesterday: with each added "X" the names get saucier, so be prepared!

Creamy Climax Dream - Metallic white shimmer. Similar to yesterday's The Big "O", but CCD is more bright white than off white, and it has a metallic, brush-strokey finish, as opposed to TBO's shimmer finish.

Spank Me, I'm Naughty - This is a baby pink metallic, but it looks much more pink in the bottle than on the nail.

Hooker Pink - I love this name and I love this color! If I go for a pink, it is colors like this! Hot pink/fuchsia. This has a hot pink flash to it too that makes it really special.

I'm Not Really A Whore - I love this name too! This is a nice, cool toned, sharp red with a gold shimmer. In the bottle you can see the shimmer is gold and that there is a lot of it, but not so much on the nail. I do still like it though. I chose this as my first official "Naughty Mani".

Left Him Cuffed To The Bed - Shade and sun. This is an awesome color because it is a dark burgundy, but has that jelly quality. That is why it needs a sun and shade pic. You can see how deep and bold the color is in the shade, but in the sun you can see that it has that translucent jelly finish. Really awesome.

Secret Carpet Burn - This is a bold red. Like yesterday's Red Thong In Divorce Court, this is as red as it gets, but has a more jelly end result. It is reminiscent of Essie - Lollipop.

I yet again have to rave for the formula. These babies go on super smooth and are neither too thick nor too thin. They go right where you want them and aren't streaky at all. The only problem children were Creamy Climax Dream and Spank Me, I'm Naughty but they are metallics so they are almost as a rule going to be more difficult to apply, and will have a "brush-strokey" look.

Stay tuned for the finale: the XXX Collection!

Naughty Nailz 'X' Collection Swatches

I am beyond proud to introduce to you a new nail polish line called "Naughty Nailz". It consists of three collections of colors and a set of treatments.

Here is what I have about the company and the polishes from Naughty Nailz:

Naughty Nailz is a new company. Our polishes and treatments are made with the highest quality base and free of cancer causing chemicals like toluene, DHP and formaldehydes. Naughty Nailz is also manufactured in America. Part of the Naughty Nailz vision is to give back . A portion of the profits will go towards a program or programs helping to educate children. We are still in the process of choosing an organization to work with.

Now for the fun stuff... Naughty Nailz is made naughty by the polish names. There is an X line, and XX line, and a XXX line. (6 polishes in each) There is also a great line of "Treat Me Naughty" nail treatments to accompany the sexy colors. Naughty Nailz is a practical everyday product that is a lot of sexy fun as well. The polish labels will always be removable for that mom who wants to wear "Nipplebiter" but doesn't want the kids to know.

The names are definitely what makes these polishes special. Don't get me wrong; there are other good things to be said about this line, but it's obviously mostly about the names. And yes, there is a color named "Nipplebiter". We will see that one in a couple days.

With that, I warn you that these are for sure, NAUGHTY. If you think these names may offend you, don't read on. Or just look at the pics. :c)

There are three collections, so I will be doing three separate posts. There is the X Collection the XX Collection and the XXX Collection. The X Collection, which I will be showing swatches of today, have pretty mild naughty names. But with each added 'X' the names get more scandalous! But the colors also get better too, so I recommend you stay on for the duration of the ride. (No pun intended)

On to the swatches!

Late Night Fantasy - This is a dark red creme that has a slight jelly finish to it. It has a nice smooth formula. But we'll get into the formula more in a bit.

Lip Service - This is a pinkish red creme. When I was in 8th grade on a field trip, a friend and I made up the name "rink" for a sweatshirt she had because you couldn't call it red and you couldn't call it pink. It was rink. That is what this reminds me of! Not very sexy, huh?! It is bright, but also slightly muted, if that makes sense.

Morning After - When I first looked at this bottle I thought it was an orange-red, but now I think it is a red-orange. But kind of coral? It's a coral-red. How's that? Nice and bright. I really like this one.

Red Thong In Divorce Court - Red creme. This is as red as it gets. It's like a fire truck!

Sextasy - When I look at this I think "raspberry cosmo". I don't know why. Just a word/nail association I guess. This is a bright magenta, sort of fuchsia shimmer. I am really having a hard time categorizing these colors, aren't I?!

The Big "O" - Off white shimmer. I love white polishes and I love this one. (and I'm not faking)

I have to rave about the formula, first and foremost. Wow. I really mean that. These are awesome. They go on so smooth, you could call them polishes that "apply themselves". Especially the cremes. All the cremes I debated showing with only one coat. They are pigmented enough, and are not the least bit streaky. I did do 2 in the end just to ensure the swatches were real nice. The only one that did not play as nice as the others was The Big "O" but it's a white so I kind of feel it can get away with it. It was still two coats, but they were thick coats.

Also, these polishes dry super fast. I didn't try myself, but I bet you could get away without using a quick dry top coat. While doing my swatches, I had done the first coat and was going back for the second in about a minute, banged my nail on the edge of my desk and thought "Just great. I have to start over". But then I looked, and there was no ding. Seriously. I couldn't make this up! The only downside I see so far, and you will see more of as we go on with this collection, is that there are so many reds and pinks. That is not usually my thing when it comes to polish. I must say though, that I am enjoying these reds and pinks more than I thought that I would.

Naughty Nailz has yet to launch their website. If you are interested in these colors you can email jenny@naughtynailz.com or hookedup@naughtynailz.com. You can also check them out on Facebook. The polishes retail for $8.95.

Stay tuned for part 2!
