Aunt Mondays?

I need to go back home to do my moms nails!!! 

Here are two things I did to other members of my family haha :) My two aunts! Still need help with hand positioning.... ;)

My Aunt: Two coats of OPI Eiffel for this Color and a coat of Icing Frost Yourself


This requires a special story, since becoming nail obsessed, this is the only one who would never let me touch her nails... My Aunt has been getting THE SAME MANI for over 10 years. OPI Blackberry. I can't even imagine having the same color on for so long.... but some how I magically got her to let me put some sparkles on them!! So this is 1 coat of Icing Glamorous over her previous mani.
(She says the only reason I was allowed to do this was because she was going to get her nails done the following day.... I will crack her one day though!!!)

New Years Eve :D

Are you guys ready for tonight?! I hope everyone has a blast bringing in the new year!!!

I have a BLINGY mani today :) just for the occasion.


There are three coats of Pop A Bottle by Icing on my four fingers. And 3 coats of Gold Accessory by Maybelline on my thumb nail. 



To show the pink and blue

Pop a Bottle is a glitter packed sheer base polish. It is mainly gold micro glitter, but there are some pink and blue glitter in there as well that show up great on the nail but not in the photos :(

Hope you all have a great and safe night and new year!!!

Any new years-themes that are going to be on your nails??

Glitter Week Day 5 :):)

I know it is pink Wednesday! But I need to go in order for my glitter posts because I am OCD about that. Oh! And at this point I have 115 followers :D:D:D:D:D:D:D I could not be more excited!! 
I am picking up more polishes to add to the giveaway! So look out for that!

Onto the glitter!! These are all silver holographic-ish glitters!


From left to right: Icing Frost Yourself, Wet n Wild Kaleidescope, NYC Starry Silver Glitter, Icing Glamorous.


Here they are with two coats each, over nothing. From left to right: Glamorous, Starry Silver Glitter, Kaleidescope, and Frost Yourself


 Here they are one coat of glitter over black!


Here is a close up of Frost Yourself. I love the movie reference for this nail polish!! It has a clear base with big circle silver glitter, and HUGE hexagon silver glitter. Super original in my opinion and it has a holographic effect as well!


Here is a close up of Kaleidescope. It is a great glitter for the price and I think everyone should have it!! It is one of the prizes in my giveaway too!! It is a clear base with tons of micro glitter and bigger circle glitter. It is also holographic in the sun! :)


 Here is a close up of Starry Silver Glitter. It is another great cheap glitter!! It has a clear base with a bunch of silver holographic glitter and then some bigger hexagon glitter in blue, purple, and silver. A must have!!


Here is a close up of  Glamorous. It has a clear base with TONS of glitter. In the right pic you can see how holographic it is!! And that wasn't in any direct sun!! 

I love all of these because of the holographic effect, it just gives an extra oomph to an old mani. :) 
What is your favorite??  


P.S. Because I swatched all of these glitters during the course of one day, my cuticles get stained black more as the week goes on. Please don't mind this! It was literally impossible to get off no matter how hard I scrubbed. :(

Glitter Week Day Four :)

I am so excited to say I have reached 100 followers!!!!! 
AHHHH!!!!!!!! I really expected to only reach maybe 10 people. I don't know if you know, but my friends basically had to force me into this blog because of my overwhelming shyness. If you look at the first couple posts I was so awkward and I don't know, just odd. I still might be like that, but I feel good about it now! The polish groups on facebook really help me out too! I love all of you girls and everything you taught me!


From left to right: OPI's Last Friday Night, Icing Epic Winning, China Glaze Atlantis, China Glaze Dorthy Who?


From Left to right: Dorthy Who?, Atlantis, Epic Winning, Last Friday Night. Two coats each with nothing underneath


Here they are in the same order over black. Only one coat of glitter.


 Here is a close up of Last Friday Night. It is a blue jelly like base that is really sheer. It is packed with mini glitter and bigger glitter.



Here is a close up of Epic Winning. It is another Charlie Sheen polish. It has a clear base but you couldn't tell with the amount of glitter stuffed into this polish. It definitely needs a thick top coat! It has mostly blue and sliver glitter but the random orange pieces make it really unique.


Here is a close up of Atlantis! It seems like a jelly polish, because you can see all of the glitter from the previous coats! A great green-leaning turquoise, with silver and holographic glitter!



Dorthy Who? Is one that I was bound to love. It is a true blue with a crap ton of silver glitter!

As you can see, today was all of the blue based glitter!

What was your favorite? :)

Glitter Week Day 2!

Yaay!! I have 56 followers!! I am so grateful to have any followers at all! There will be a giveaway posted soon, I just have to get the stuff together!!

Onto the glitters: 

Today is all of the pink/red glitters :)


From left to right: Icing Tiger's Blood, OPI Teenage Dream, Ulta After Party


Here they are all by themselves, two coats each. In these pictures the order above is inverted. From left to right is Ulta After Party, OPI Teenage Dream, Icing Tiger's Blood


Here they are one coat over black. 


Close up of Tiger's blood. This is one of the famous 'Charlie Sheen Polishes'. :)
It is a reddish/orange jelly base full of orange and red glitter, both large and small pieces.


Close up of Teenage Dream. It is a mauve/pink color. The base seems to be just a large amount of micro glitter, with the occasional hexagon piece. 


Close up of After Party. This is a clear base glitter with red, pink, and silver micro glitter. It seems to have the same base as Teenage Dream without the hexagon pieces.


What do you think of today's glitters?? Do you like the idea of a glitter week?? :)
