NA NA NA NA...-dances in a crazy fashion-<br />
<br />
Anywho...<br />
<br />
I do very much apologize for disappearing off the face of the earth for over a week. I've been so busy with work (two jobs) and doing other things that did not include nail polish or blogging, unfortunately. I haven't changed my manicure in over a week and it is looking pretty raggedy. On the up-side to this predicament, the mani did last for literally six days without chipping! It was the one with the dots in my previous post. How cool is that? Usually my job at the coffee shop destroys my nails in minutes. <br />
<br />
My friend's wedding is in two days, and I am going out of town tomorrow to attend that (I'm a bridesmaid). It's going to be great, and I can't wait to see my friend walk down the aisle. Tonight after work I plan on doing my nails, and I need to do something that will coordinate with my dress as I will not have time to do them tomorrow or the day of the event. The dress is black and purple, so I was thinking something that included those colors. I guess only time will tell when I finally get off work and decide what my lazy butt is capable of doing! I also have to pack and make sure I've got everything I need. I'd best not forget my dress! :O<br />
<br />
I know this post had very little to do with nails, but I just wanted y'all to know what's up in the world of this fASHionista (ha ha, I'm hilarious).<br />

I made this when my polish making supplies arrived in the mail. I called it "Potion", part of a three polish halloween mini collection that I designed. I will not be producing these for sale, unfortunately, because I did not have enough supplies for more. I just made them for a test run, if you will. But, nonetheless, look at the pretty! (I layered it over My Boyfriend Scales the Walls by OPI)<br />

This polish is GORGEOUS, and it's from the 2011 Miss Universe collection, so it's probably kinda hard to find. Well, I HAD TO HAVE IT. Sorry, I'm yelling, but I cannot contain my excitement. It's My Year is a beautiful plum colored polish packed with gold shimmer. You can see why I love it, right? THE SHINY!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used three coats of this wonderful polish on every nail except the ring finger. On the ring finger, I used China Glaze Purr-fect Plum from the On Safari collection, and then I dotted it with It's My Year. It looked pretty darn awesome, I must say!</div>

Hello everybody! I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving / Columbus Day long weekend! I am, even though today is rainy and gross. I just did my nails (not with Boho Gold, that was Saturday's mani), and now I'm watching Easy A and assembling nail polish bottles in preparation for my little holiday creations. All I need is my glitter to arrive in the mail!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, here's Boho Gold, one of the new Maybelline Color Show limited edition polishes that I finally managed to get my pretty, polished paws on. It's an almost dupe of Chanel's Peridot, so I hear, and I love it! It's such a pretty duochrome polish. Of course, I didn't wait for each coat to fully dry before I applied the next, so it bubbled a little. It still looked decent, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used three coats of Boho Gold to achieve full opacity, but you could get away with two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It's such a pretty, shimmery pink, and I'm a sucker for a good pink.<br />

I used three coats, but you could get away with two.<br />

One day last week, as usual, I was having great difficulty deciding on a color for my nails. I was debating between three China Glaze shades: Trendsetter, Traffic Jam, and Turned-Up Turquoise. Of course, since actually making a decision is totally not an option, I went for all three. I used Trendsetter for most nails, and did accents of Turned-Up Turquoise and Traffic Jam. It looked pretty cool, and I got a few compliments that day, which always make me feel awesome! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hilariously enough, I just noticed that all of these polishes names begin with the letter T. I'm easily entertained, so I just sat smirking at the computer for a moment. No big deal.</div>

I adore it so much that a while back I did two manicures in a row using it as a glitter top coat. How very creative of me.<br />
<br />
First I used it on top of Essence Color & Go <i>choose me!</i>, and then I layered it over OPI's <i>Planks A Lot</i> from the Pirates of the Carribean collection.<br />
<br />
I also tried out the Sally Hansen Diamond Flash fast dry top coat. I like it, but not for dense glitters. For those I prefer Sally Hansen's Insta Dri or Seche Vite.<br />

I'm trying to catch up, but it's more difficult than I thought.<br />
<br />
Exciting news, though!<br />
<br />
My package of nail polish making supplies should arrive tomorrow. I'm slowly but surely preparing to make my own glitter polish, and I have ideas for an awesome holiday collection. I know it's probably silly for somebody with only eight blog followers to start their own brand, but...it seems like a fun hobby! Who knows, maybe I will do a giveaway in the future.<br />
<br />
For now, here's a few photos of Essence Color & Go <i>grey-t to be here</i>. I love this polish! It's a grey creme with itty-bitty pink sparkles. It's neutral and feminine at the same time; so adorable.<br />

</div>
First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of posting this past week! I am sorry, guys! I've been busy busy with work and everything else that comes up during a week. Of course, I've had time to do my nails every other day, so there will be a few pretty cool upcoming posts. All I have to do is edit some photos.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the mani I am wearing today is exactly what the title of this post says: Fame Fatal. I LOVE how awesome this red is. And shiny! It's so shiny! The application was easy enough and the polish went on smooth. I really adore most Essence polishes. I took these photos with the flash on because it showed a more accurate depiction of the color.<br />

Sorry guys! Life = busy. When I'm not working there's always something else going on. Yesterday I had to dye my mother's hair and go shopping, which oddly enough did not include the purchase of more nail polish. That's a huuuge shock, isn't it?!<br />
<br />
As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently bought a couple of polishes from The Hungry Asian to add to my very small, but growing collection of indie nail polish. My purchase included Twenty Ten, and Belle, which I will post about later.<br />
<br />
Twenty Ten...<br />
<br />
What can I say about Twenty Ten? Oh, it's just a gorgeous little black jelly with small red squares, blue hex (which appeared to be holo on my nails!), small blue glitter and small copper glitter. It pretty much matches its description and photos on The Hungry Asian's etsy.<br />
<br />
I used three coats - but it's just as easy to layer one coat over a black base. The application was smooth. I didn't have to fish around for any of the glitter or force it to spread evenly over the nail. I really like the forumla. The consistency is good; not too thick, not too thin. Just right! It definitely lived up to my expectations! Girl definitely knows how to make an awesome nail polish.<br />

You can purchase The Hungry Asian polishes on etsy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/thehungryasian" target="_blank">here</a>. They are $9.25 USD for the .5 oz, $4.50 for the minis, which are around average prices, and she does ship internationally. (awesome, right?!) Kae also released a couple of new polishes recently. I looked at them yesterday and reallly wanted to buy Itsy Bitsy, a really gorgeous yellow, but it's sold out already. Maybe I will catch it eventually!</div>

Hello darling readers! First of all, I apologize for the lack of posts lately; I've been super busy with work and other things. I went to see Keith Urban on Wednesday, which was AWESOME! :D He grabbed my hand! I was still wearing my Glowstick mani that night and my nails pretty much lit up like glowsticks during the concert. It was kind of hilarious, maybe he noticed my nails! lol!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I've decided to post my late July/August nail polish purchases for you all to see. It includes my first Lippmann, two more polishes from Dandy Nails and a couple from the Hungry Asian. I'm wearing Twenty Ten right now, and I will post about that one tomorrow.</div>

I attempted to use this polish on its own, but I swear to god it was so difficult to apply and I just put coat after coat on to smooth it out. It was an epic fail. I noticed that another blogger said that they used white underneath the highlighter yellow color, so I tried that. IT LOOKS AWESOME, and it was sooo much easier to apply.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with my base coat, then two coats of Essie Blanc and two coats of Glowstick, followed by a coat of Seche Vite, of course, to make it uber shiny!

<ul>
<li>Deutsche You Want Me Baby?</li>
<li>German-icure by OPI</li>
<li>Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs</li>
<li>Unfor-Greta-bly Blue</li>

I was going to post swatches earlier in the week, but I decided that I'd wait until I swatched all four (and wore them each for a day to show off their prettyness!).</div>
</div>

<div>
Without further adieu, on with the polish.</div>

I really liked the application of these polishes. They were smooth and easy to apply, not to mention shiny and gorgeous. I used top coat to boost the shine even more. They glistened! I would definitely recommend these colors, and I'm thinking I shall try to snag a few more from this collection. I want some of the cremes.</div>

It arrived in the mail today and I could not wait to do a glitter jelly sandwich with this sheer little yellow number! This was one polish that I decided that I had to have after seeing it on somebody else's blog.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm kind of regretting not sandwiching Rainbow Connection in between the layers instead of Nicole by OPI's Make U Smile. Of course, Make U Smile is still pretty, being shiny silver glitter and all!<br />
<br />
I must say, it looks pretty good! I used two coats of Yellow Brick Road to start (did I mention how sheer it is? It's PERFECT for glitter jelly sandwich manis!), a coat of Make U Smile, another YBR, another Make U Smile, and then one final YBR. Then I topped it with Seche Vite, which I also got in the mail today.<br />
<br />
I didn't really need the top coat, but it helped it dry faster, given I used 6 layers of polish, not including my base coat.<br />
<br />
On to the pictures!<br />

I worked all week (both jobs) and barely even had the chance to do my nails. I have a couple of cool swatches of a couple of the new OPI Germany collection polishes ready to post, though! That's the good news. The bad news? Job #2 destroyed my nails on the weekend. Well, on my right hand, anyway. I was so aggravated because I had finally gotten them looking good again from the last time work kicked their little nail butts.<br />
<br />
Anyway, rant done. xD<br />
<br />
I will be posting tomorrow, so stay tuned!Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06129795117977867399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500651736581805299.post-15034522826537243032012-08-09T19:08:00.002-07:002012-08-09T19:08:45.345-07:00It's A Lovely Secret<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I couldn't really choose how I wanted to do my nails, so I ended up starting with two coats of "a lovely secret" by Essence. It looked really pretty, and part of me wanted to leave it alone, but then I decided to spice it up with some "LIME UP!" (also by Essence) dots. Ever since I bought those dotting tools last weekend, I can't get enough. :D Plus, I need the dotting practice.</div>

First off, here's a few swatch photos of Grape Going! by Sally Hansen. This polish was nice to apply and had a pretty good formula. I love the color. Purple/blue duochrome and really bright! :D I took these pics with the flash on because it captured the color a little better.</div>

I bought some dotting tools yesterday, so I decided to give them a shot. I like how the dots turned out; I was just bad at placement. Oops. I guess practice makes perfect! I started with two coats of Essie "blanc" and used China Glaze Pool Party and Papaya Punch for the dots. Afterward I topped it off with a coat of Essie "Shine of the Times". It looks way better in person than in the pictures. My camera couldn't really capture the glitter well, unfortunately.</div>

Earlier this week I went to Shoppers Drug Mart and picked up a few more Essence polishes. I didn't plan on buying six, but since they're so cheap and I couldn't choose, alas, I did. I love these little gems. They're so pretty and colorful! :D</div>

Here's the mani I did with them. I used three coats of "glamorous life", and for the accent nail I used two coats of "break through" and added a couple of coats of "space queen", also by Essence but not pictured above. I think it looked pretty funky. Someone even commented on it at work (a dude), haha. :)</div>

China Glaze - Lighthouse is a very sheer shimmer/fine glitter polish. I'm wearing three coats and there was still some VNL, but overall it looked pretty good. I didn't have time to clean up properly after I did my nails that day, so there's some glitter on my cuticles. oops. Oh well.</div>

<br />
Online shopping is the devil. Well, not really...but kinda.<br />
<br />
Last night I splurged. Dandy Nails was re-stocked, so I purchased a couple of those. Then I purchased a couple from The Hungry Asian, and finally, I went on nailpolishcanada.com and bought a Deborah Lippmann. Yes, yes I did.<br />
<br />
Now I'm almost kicking myself in the backside for spending so much money. -cringes- Of course, when I receive these babies I will be in nail polish heaven.<br />
<br />
So, there's my rambling for the morning. I promise I'll have an actual nail polish post with pictures later.Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06129795117977867399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500651736581805299.post-53836084685465525902012-07-31T20:58:00.002-07:002012-07-31T20:58:59.912-07:00What do you get when you combine...Essie's Lights, Action, and Mojito Madness + OPI black shatter + Rainbow Connection?<br />

I did this manicure on Friday. I started with stripes of the Essie polishes, covered it in black shatter, and then doused it in glitter. Have I ever mentioned how OPI Rainbow Connection is one of my favorite glitter polishes? I love it. It spices up everything. :D</div>

I had a pretty good weekend, hence the lack of blog updates. I went out of town with family. We went to the beach and then stayed at a hotel in a town a couple of hours away where my mother used to live. We ended up eating at Don Cherry's restaurant and then going to a local bar for a beer. I wanted to visit the famous "Jack's". (It's not called that now, but everyone calls it that anyway. xD)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don Cherry's has this AWESOME drink called the Electric Popsicle (as seen below). It's sooooo good! The last time I had it I had a green popsicle; this time I got pink! I had to take a picture. The beer wasn't mine, but Electric Popsicle wanted a friend. ;) </div>

Anyway, onto the nail polish! I bought more. (of course!) Yesterday I bought these for a dollar-something each at Walmart. I actually really like these polishes! They're awesome, and an awesome price.</div>

<span style="background-color: black;">I bought these on Friday; also at Walmart. I've been meaning to try these Maybelline The Color Show nail polishes but haven't gotten around to it. So...I bought a few. Plus, I saw swatches of Wine & Dined on somebody's blog (I forget who; if I remembered, I'd post a link or something) and loved it!</span></div>

Obviously, with new nail polish comes a fresh mani. I decided to try out Sturdy Sapphire. Now, I will mention that this polish is quite sheer. This is three coats:</div>

I like it, though. It applied smoothly and it didn't leave a million brush strokes. It's really shiny and pretty and bright, despite the fact that it doesn't seem like a bright color! And, did I mention the price of these Hard as Nails polishes? You can't go wrong.</div>

After those three coats I decided to add some glitter, so I used Ice Queen. Ice Queen has light purple and bright blue hex glitter and fine silver glitter. It looks really awesome paired with Sturdy Sapphire. I had to do some fishing for the bigger chunks of glitter and I used two coats. It's a very pretty glitter polish.<br />

Of course, I wasn't finished yet. After the glitter, I then decided that "hey, since this blue polish is very sheer, why not try a glitter sandwich. This is what it looked like: Not THAT much of a difference, as you can tell. The first photo was taken with flash.<br />

Last but certainly not least, I've decided to share my favorite cuticle cream with you all. It's called "Nail Butter" by TVAL. TVAL is a local store that sells 'homemade' beauty products. They make the products IN the store! It's a pretty cool place. They even sell cupcake shaped soap. :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ever since I've started using TVAL nail butter, I've noticed my cuticles haven't been so dry and flaky. Not so many "hang nails" either. I like this stuff. It works for me! It also comes in several different scents, or unscented.</div>

I liked the formula and it did not take long to dry. This was my first time using a Milani polish, and I'll definitely buy some more.<br />
<br />
I didn't bother to put a top coat over it, but I'd recommend it. I just got distracted and forgot about it. Ooopsies!<br />

<br />
A while back I mentioned ordering from Glitrix and Dandy Nails. Well, on Monday, Funhouse by Dandy Nails (along with Sandy's cute business card!) came in the mail, so I had to use it immediately. SUCH an awesome polish. It was too bad that I messed up my manicure, haha. I do, however, have photos nonetheless!<br />
<br />
I layered Funhouse over China Glaze's Hang Ten-toes and it looked pretty freakin' awesome! I really need to create a contraption to help me take good pictures. My camera does not do this bright mani justice.<br />

I received the Glitrix polish on Tuesday, so you'll see a swatch of that one sometime in the near future.Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06129795117977867399noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500651736581805299.post-7412792395839121422012-07-26T00:00:00.000-07:002012-07-26T00:00:02.456-07:00Swatch: Bahamian Escape.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, I wish I could go to the Bahamas! I guess wearing this pretty light blue cream by China Glaze will have to do! xD This polish was really easy to apply and opaque in one coat, but I used two. Some of my nails look a little rough, but I swear that's just me and not the nail polish itself. The formula for this polish was awesome, and I LOVE the color. I could not stop staring at it!</div>

The next day I added some Sinful Colors - Purple Diamond on top of this mani just to see how it looked. I liked THAT too, but I ended up taking it off just to try something else. This is what I do when I buy a ton of new polish. Nothing can stay on longer than a day or two.</div>
