Give me some Sparkling Garbage stripes

Hey guys!

For once you guys are actually getting to see my current nails! I just did these and love them so much that I just couldn't wait to show you all. A few days ago I headed to my local Sally's to pick of some more nail files... you know I couldn't resist perusing the polish area though and I came upon an absolutely stunning polish from Orly. So I grabbed it to find out what it was a literally laughed out loud at the name... Sparkling Garbage. I mean could it get any more perfect then that? LOVE it! Seriously thinking about heading back and grabbing a few back up bottles because I see myself using this one a lot ;) 

Anyways I finally got a chance to try it out today and boy, it didn't disappoint! I only used it as an accent here but I see a full Sparkling Garbage mani in the very near future! I started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on my pointer, middle, and pinky nails, seriously my favorite greyish white! Then I used some striping tape and painted Orly Gumdrop on top of MBSW. On my ring and thumb I had a base of Orly Gumdrop and did two coats of Orly Sparkling Garbage over that. Check these babies out! 

Look at that bottle shot! Yummy!

And here's a super blurred shot to show you all the gorgeousness that is Sparkling Garbage.

This. Is. Perfection. Haha you all must think I'm way crazy by now but I just can't get enough of this polish! Beautiful with an awesome name to boot!

What do you guys think? Do you love the sparkle?!

I got that black and white glitter groove ;)

Hey guys!

So for a quite a while I've been dying to get my hands on some black and white glitter... but I've just been too lazy to actually order any offline. The woes of laziness! BUT I heard from a little birdie that the new-to-Walmart brand Hard Candy had released one so you know I got my little butt down there as fast as I could! 

I just love the way black and white glitter looks over gradients so I thought I'd give it a try with some of my neons and WOW what an eye catcher! Check it out :) I started with a base of Sally Hansen White On and sponged China Glaze Sun-Kissed and I'm With The Lifeguard over it. Then I added Hard Candy Black Tie Optional over the top and fell in love!

It's hard to imagine but these guys were even brighter in person. It was definitely one of those manicures I just couldn't stop staring at!

What do you guys think? Is black and white glitter yay or nay?

Dots!

Hey guys!

I know I know shame on me for leaving you again for so long -_- My intentions were good but I just didn't have any time. I know you guys probably don't want to hear my excuse but I'm going to give it to you anyways ;) The bank that I work at recently went through a whole system upgrade to help with security and such. Because it's new we're slower so my boss wanted to have more of us there so that the customers wouldn't have to wait a while. This being said I've been working six days a week since the beginning of April... SO MUCH FUN! I've just been so tired from working all the time that I just can never seem to be able to write up a blog post. Well no more! My schedule is finally calming down starting now and I've got some days off during the week so I just be able to go back to posting regularly. Thank you guys so much for sticking with me because so far as far as I'm concerned 2013 can just be over with lol. 

But anyways on to the nails! I was feeling a good ol' dotticure in my future so I sat down the other night and went to work. I started with a base of Sally Hansen White On and China Glaze Pool Party. Oh my goodness did I fall in love with this color. I love anything neon but make it neon AND pink and you've got me drooling haha. I did all the dots with a toothpick and black and white acrylic paint. 

I'm really glad the pattern came out the way it did. I was afraid that it would just look like a jumble of dots which would be just my luck -_- lol! My camera freaked out a little bit because we all know cameras hate neons but it's even more vibrant then this!

So what do you guys think?

Stamping with Color Club Halo Hues :)

Hello all! 

The main reason I bought the Color Club 2013 Halo Hues is because I heard a rumor that they actually stamped. I mean I'm obsessed with holos and holos that stamp are just.... wow. Haha so you see why I had to order them immediately! And guess what?! It's true!!! I couldn't wait to try stamping with them so check out what I did :) 

Colors used:
- Lime Crime Lavendairy
- Color Club Eternal Beauty

Please tell me I'm not the only one who is IN LOVE with this! I really like the whole purple on purple thing that's going on here and when I got in the sun it was just amazing! Of course it was cloudy when I photographed these so sorry there's no sun pictures :( And I'm not really sure what the black dot is doing on my pinky.... strange. Oh well lol! 

But what do you guys think?

Blue and Gold, Dots and Stripes

Hey guys!

So I'm kind of getting in to the whole "skitlette" nails. I'm a little bit OCD so this is strange for me haha. The striping tape design is inspired from the lovely Sammy over at The Nailasaurus. If you don't know her blog you're seriously missing out! She does some beautiful nail designs!

But now you have to check out my first almost "skitlette"! :)

Colors used:
- Sally Hansen Golden-I
- Essence Make is Golden
- Maybelline Color Show Navy Narcissist

I have to say I'm totally digging this whole almost "skitlette" design. I know it's not really a true skitlette but it's a pretty big step for someone like me ;) Not to mention blue and gold has always been one of my favorite color combinations. 

And I really like the combination of the stripes and dots I think it makes it really interesting :) 

So what do you guys think?

Color Club goodies and stamping

Good morning guys!

Whew it feels GOOD to be back! I wanted to come back sooner but life gets in the way I'm sure you all know that. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with my little blog this time. I know one thing for sure though that I missed all of you lovely people so much! I want to say thanks again for all of your love and prayers through this difficult time it really means so much to me. 

Alright enough with the mushy stuff ;) on to what you've all be waiting for... nail polish! A little while back I decided to treat myself and bought the Color Club 2013 Halo Hues. Best. Decision. EVER. I can't even begin to tell you guys how much I am obsessed with these polishes. You guys better believe that you'll be seeing A LOT of these polishes. As long as you don't mind at least :) 

So check out my debut of my very first Color Club Halo Hues!

Colors used:
- Color Club Kismet
- L.A. Colors Black Striping Polish

I'm trying out something a little different with my photos. New hand positions and new watermark what do you guys think? Also there's fewer of them... I kind of think all of the ones I had before were a little excessive don't you? So make sure you guys let me know if you like them! :)

Also I'm totally in love with Kismet. I should have taken a photo of it by itself it's such a beautiful color. Maybe I'll get around to swatching them all so you guys can see all the pretties. But I think the black stamping really makes it pop! I used BM-314 for the stamp.

So what do you guys think?
Thanks for reading :) 

I'm still here!

Ahhhh I'm so sorry guys! I know you all must hate me -_-

I'm not leaving you guys I promise I've just been trying to wait for my nails to grow out a bit more but with all the stress they just refuse to grow any length without snapping off :( Then we went through a conversion at the bank I work at so I'm working 6 days a week and on top of that I lost my memory card with all my pictures on it T.T It just seems like the bad days won't end but I'm determined to come back because I miss all of you guys! So don't lose faith in me yet!

Talk to you guys soon I promise!
Thanks for reading :)
