OPI's Polka.com over Julep's Simone

Here is a super quick manicure I did using one of my many untried in my collection. I used the very pretty Polka.com by OPI and layered it over the delicate Simone by +Julep. I liked this pairing since Simone, which I reviewed here, is subtle enough to allow the glitter to pop and still be feminine with it's slight opalescent shimmer. Have a great one and thanks for stopping b...

Nail Pattern Boldness Oodiful

I'm so glad to be sharing with you my first must have indie polish. I waited awhile to buy this polish because it was sold out. And jumped at the chance when it finally became available. Oodiful is a fantastic light grey jelly with white hexagon glitters and deep pink square glitters of varying sizes. This is three coats with a top coat. No undies. I truly love this polish. Sadly, Oodiful didn't get as much attention as Flipping Out Hard did, but Oodiful was by far my favorite out of the two Nail...

Nail Pattern Boldness Flipping Out Hard

I've had a very exciting week of nail mail. I gave in and purchased several nail polishes from three different indie makers. I had never bought indie polish before and I am so glad I finally took the plunge. First up is a polish from Nail Pattern Boldness! Flipping Out Hard is an awesome clear based polish with micro dust blue, yellow and green glitters. This polish commands to be noticed and it truly delivers. This is two coats over Kleancolor's TLC plus two coats of top coat. Flipping Out Hard is a top...

Chevrons with Essie and China Glaze

Hello all. I have a fun and happy looking nail design for you today. It's a simple chevron design that I did a little different than I usually do. Normally I have the triangle only go to the middle of the nail. Today I extended it all the way to the cuticle and I love it! I feel with the triangle being longer it gave the design a much more dramatic look. Such happy little triangles.  I'm also super late to the party and picked up Essie's Butler Please only yesterday. I was a little worried I may have a blue somewhere in...

Love and Beauty Nail Polish

I wandered into +Forever 21 about week ago and picked up a pretty and unique looking baby blue polish with round fuchsia and silver glitters with a light dusting of black micro glitters. I thought it was so pretty and had to buy it. I really wish this pretty bottle had a name. The name on the back is Baby Blue/Hot Pink. Lol. So imaginative. I felt like layering this over a light teal green rather than a blue closer to the original color. The teal I used was also an unnamed Color...

Easter Challenge - Pastel

Pastels. I love them. So pretty and calming. And fantastic way to wrap up the Easter challenge. I was glad I could take a break from nail art and try something new. I decided to do a delicate quilt pattern with loose glitter accents.  After finishing the design I wished the colors were reversed. I really loved the bottom colors and they really didn't stand out as much as I had hoped. Lesson learned. This was a fun challenge and will be on the hunt for something new to motivate me. Anyone doing any challenges?...

Easter Nail Challenge - Chick Nails

I'm not gonna mention that I'm a few days behind in the Easter challenge. ;) I have such a high level of respect for girls that can keep up with the challenges. I don't even have that busy of a life, other than work and friends, and I still get behind on the blog. I'm still running a little low on inspiration, but the challenge is still pushing me to try more nail art, so I'm thankful for that. I used my trust Google, to look at chick nails. I really liked the style of Easter nails that Minnie over at Mini Blog created. Again,...

Easter Challenge - Day Three - Easter Eggs

Today's theme is Easter eggs. I loved the image used for the the challenge so that was my inspiration for my eggs. The Easter eggs didn't turn out too bad, but I hate how my ideas always look so much better in my head. Seeing the eggs hiding in the grass makes me miss the egg hunt fun I enjoyed as a kid. I also miss baskets of candy. *drool* What were/are your favorite Easter candies or traditions?...
