My guilty pleasure just happens to be.... macaroni and cheese :) Didn't see that one coming did ya?!

LOL let's see the mani!



Colors used:
- Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

Let's get BLINGY!

Good morning! 

This morning your all going to get another dose of momma nails!! This is quite a simple mani but I'm totally in love with it!! You all know me and shiny things ;) LOL 

Anyways my mom was just looking for something simple but eye catching at the same time... Impossible you say?! Pfft I laugh in the face of impossible!! Haha... Am I starting to sound crazy? Oops ;) Ok mini rant done let's look at some momma nails!



Colors used:
- Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold










Loving it! This look was pretty simple to create I just used glequins that I bought from the Born Pretty Store and applied them with a toothpick to her pointer nail. Add some top coat and you're done! I'm starting to have a small obsession with glequins... actually make that a rather large obsession ;) I only have silver and gold for now but I definitely need to go buy some more colors! 

So what do you guys think? Too subtle for you or would you rock it to work like my mom did? 

Thanks for reading and don't forget my awesome GIVEAWAY or my 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS nail art challenge! You guys gotta join!! 

Thanks for reading!! :)

The Lazy 15: Fairy Tale

Goooood moring!!

I might as well warn you all now you are about to see some yucky cuticles -_- I did my nails so many times the night I did these they were basically crying LOL So I'm sorry you all have to witness the tragedy that is my cuticles but besides that I actually quite like the mani...

Speaking of my mani today's Lazy 15 challenge is Fairy Tale! Would you believe I had no idea what to do for this day?? I'm totally crediting Amanda over at The Nail Polish Enthusiast for giving me the idea of Disney princesses because I mean what's more fairy tale-esque then that?! LOL Oh and you guys HAVE to go check out her site she's pretty amazing!! :D 

Ok so after Amanda gave me the idea of Disney princesses I started surfing the web to get some inspiration when I came upon THIS gem! I knew instantly I wanted to try to do something like this... my version is no where near as amazing as those but I'd say they came out pretty good! So lookie lookie! :)



Colors used:
- Sally Hansen Nearly Nude Naturel Pink
- Sinful Colors Black on Black
- Ms Pedicure Red
- Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow
- Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Snappy Sorbet 
- Color Club Gift of Sparkle
- Light Blue Acrylic Paint
- China Glaze Fast Track










I hope you guys can figure out who they areee! :) Pretty cool right? I ended up liking this so much I wore it for TWO whole days! Wowie! 

So what do you guys think? Who's your favorite Disney princess? Mine's gotta be Aurora.

Today I've got some nail art that I've been dying to do ever since I saw Lucy over at Lucy's Stash do them! She was even nice enough to put out a tutorial so all us admirers could do it ourselves! Obviously they aren't as good as hers.... she's literally AMAZING!! Ok fangirl moment is over LOL 

The design is called a weave because it looks like a weaved basket to me at least :) AND I finally got a chance to try out China Glaze Angel Wings! Two birds one stone ;)



Colors used:
- China Glaze Angel Wings
- Black Acrylic Paint






And some sunlight pics to show you guys the pretty holo pieces in Angel Wings :)

Getting in the spirit!

Good morning polish friends! :)

So all of you are about to find out rather quickly that I absolutely LOVE Christmastime! Everything about it: shopping, buying presents, fighting the crowds, snow, Christmas music, and just the general attitude of everyone. I just can't get enough of it! Although I always wait until after Thanksgiving to start listening to Christmas music ;) 

BUT since it's now after Thanksgiving I'd like to present you all with my first Christmas design of the year!! :)  



Colors used:
- Color Club Berry & Bright
- Finger Paints Well-Cultured Pearl










*sigh* my ring finger got all wrinkly! I just can't win lately!! LOL oh well :) I literally can't stop staring at these! They remind me so much of candy canes its a miracle I haven't licked my nails yet ;) I used Bundle Monster BM-207 for the stamp, it's such a perfect stamp for this! I wish I had taken a pic of my thumb tho it's really cool because the design only goes across the middle of it... maybe I'll try to take one later. 

So what do you guys think? Do you love Christmastime?

Thanks for reading and make sure you enter my Super Awesome 100 Follower Giveaway! It's open to U.S. and Canada residents only so click HERE to go to it :)
