Moonin' it

Good morning!

Whew well Blizzard Nemo is officially over!! By the way what kind of name is Nemo?! Could they have picked a more harmless name for such a strong storm? I mean really come on people!! Hah! It's a miracle that we didn't lose power the wind was whipping the other night! After the snow stopped I went out to measure and it looks like we got around 27 inches. Absolutely crazy. We spent all yesterday digging ourselves out so I was too tired to paint my nails more then once! Ridiculous right?! LOL 

When I sat down to paint my nails I realized I've only done two half moon manicures on this little blog! I've decided to make that three today :) Check them out!


Colors used:
- Zoya Storm
- China Glaze Escaping Reality










And with some light to show you the loveliness that is Zoya Storm :) 


Loving this color combo! I wish the half moons were all even but ehhh it's still pretty! 

I hope everyone who was affected by the storm stayed safe! 

So what do you think?

Disney Days: Fox and the Hound

Good morning!

Well at least I hope I'm posting to you guys this morning! This storm is crazy! I just measured the snow before writing this post and we're up to 14 inches, oh my! I don't mind getting snowed in so much as long as we don't lose power because who knows when we'll get it back. 

Anyways, today calls for another installment of Disney Days woohoo!!! I was really excited because Fox and the Hound is one of my all time favorite Disney movies! Unfortunately this one kind of fell flat for me :( In my defense I was hurrying a bit because I wanted to get it done before we lost power... if we lost power. I apologize that mr. puppy's eye looks so strange -_- hahah! Take a look :) 


Colors used:
- China Glaze Running in Circles
- China Glaze Roughish Red
- Brown, Tan, Black, White, and Pink Acrylic Paint










Awwww Fox and the Hound!!! :) Lol! Don't forget that the lovely Michelle from Mimi Manicures and Samantha from The Manicure Hut have decided to join me so you guys have to go check them out!!!

Again if you want to join in the fun drop me an email at kjones622@hotmail.com! The more the merrier!!

Blizzard Warning!

Good morning!

So some of you may not know but I live in Massachusetts and there is currently a blizzard warning out for us. I've read a few reports of snowfall up to 40 inches....that's over 3 feet! And what am I doing? Why getting ready for work of course! -_- Because people need money in a blizzard right? Grrrrr! Oh well I've got a blizzard outside and a blizzard on my nails!


Colors used:
- Wet n Wild Black Creme
- Pure Ice Silver Mercedes
- Claire's White stamping polish










I used three different Bundle Monster plates to create this "blizzard" ;) And my pinky isn't really that muddy I promise! I just love how the silver stands out on the black! 

Because we are supposed to be getting this blizzard I'm anticipating my power going out... which means I may be sparse on here :( I'm keeping my fingers crossed that that isn't the case but if you don't hear from me then you know what happened.

And to all my lovely readers and bloggers out there affected by this storm, stay safe and warm! 

So what do you think?

I cheated! The *almost* tribal nails...

Good morning!

Ugh is it really Thursday again?! I feel like I was just writing to you guys about how much I don't like Thursdays... hmmmmm! 

Well anyways many of you know that I really want to do tribal nails, like really bad. But the thing is I'm too scared to do them T.T I just can't imagine getting all those lines so perfect and not muddying them up. I think I need to do more youtube research on them. I needed to paint my nails last night and didn't really have a lot of time so I decided that I would do some good old stamping because it doesn't really take too long. I was looking through my Bundle Monster plates and came upon a design that reminded me a lot of tribal print! I almost cut myself taking that plate out of the stack so fast! LOL! It didn't stamp as cleanly as I would have wished but hey I'll take it! ;)


Colors used:
- Lime Crime Once in A Blue Mousse
- L.A. Colors striping polish in Black










This makes me want to try tribal nails even worse! UGH! Anyone know of any good tutorials out there? I'm determined now and when I'm determined nothing stands in my way.... except for sparkly things.... dammit! 

So what do you guys think?

I've got another Valentine's Day-esque mani for you guys today I hope your not getting sick of them ;) lol! This one isn't very traditional because it only uses a little bit of pink :) I have been wanting to try some patchwork nails for a while now and decided what better to do then some patchwork hearts? Well now you know! ;) Take a look!


Colors used:
- Lime Crime Milky Ways
- Lime Crime Pastelchio
- White Acrylic Paint
- Black Acrylic Paint

- Pink Acrylic Paint










And because I thought it would look cool, I mattified it :) 


Definitely loving it mattified! I'm so into the whole patchwork nail thing, I'm going to be trying another one really soon so keep your eyes open!

So what do you think?

The Valentine's Day blehhh

Good morning!

So today's mani did NOT turn out like I had hoped -_- I was working on another Valentine's Day one and it just didn't look anything like it did in my head :( BUT I shall show you all anyways!  It's not particularly bad just not what I wanted.

I saw THIS picture from Google it's from the awesome Leslie of Polish Art Addiction and wanted to do something like it... except it didn't go that way ;)  But take a look!! :) 


Colors used:
- Layla Jade Groove
- Lime Crime Crema de Limon
- Lime Crime Parfait Day
- Lime Crime Lavendairy
- Maybelline Color Show Green With Envy
- NYC Matte Me Crazy










As you can see I was attempting to do a candy heart mani lol! I tried to do the writing too but that failed epically bad! And can someone please tell me why on earth I would mattify the beautifulness that is Layla Jade Groove? Because I'm not very sure why I would do such a thing -_- I suppose going for the whole chalky candy heart look is why but still a Layla holo should NEVER be mattified! Also Maybelline Green With Envy is just too close a color to Layla Jade Groove so you can barely see it...

Welp not every mani can turn out like I want but I will always show them to you guys here no matter how bad ;) And they don't always turn out bad, just not what I expected... sometimes they turn out even better :) 

So what do you guys think? I've got another Valentine's Day mani in the works for you all :)

Holographic leopard

Good morning guys!

So Saturday was a really amazing day for me... I went to an Ulta and found two Layla holos on clearance! I couldn't even believe it! LOL I had heard that some people were finding them on clearance so I actually went to one last Tuesday but they didn't have any :( Thankfully there are two near me and the other one had a few left! You know I scooped them up! 

I was super excited to use them so I picked Layla Coral Glam to put on. I had a slightly different idea for this mani but I ran out of time Saturday night.. so I just stamped over it with some good old leopard print :) Check it out!


Colors used:
- Layla Coral Glam
- L.A. Colors striper polish in Black










Of course the sun was already down by the time I did these so sorry no sun pics! I did shine a flashlight on them though so you can see the holo a but more ;) 


I was sad when I realized that top coat dulls the holographic effect a little :( I mean it's still there and the holographic-ness is amazing but it was a bit stronger before tc -_- Oh well!

What do you think?
