Stacy's Mom Has Got it Goin on!

Small Backstory: My mom has always wished her name was Stacy. When she was a kid that is what her pretend name was. (P.S. Mine was always Crystal :) )

SOOOOO I thought as a cute little christmas gift, I would get her Zoya Stacy. 

She loved it and said that not only was the name perfect, but the color was her favorite color crayon. Perfect huh?

So here is her first "Stacy" mani :)

This is two coats of Stacy with tips of Studio M Magic Attraction.

Here it is blurry to see the holographic sparkles!!!

It was super cute and she keeps showing everyone!!!

As another side note I am SO grateful that she did not name me Stacy (She wanted to) because everyone says my mom is hot and I DO NOT want that song sang to me lol. Every time I hear Stacy's Mom I cringe a little before singing along :)

And that is my embarrassing story for the day!!

What name did you always want as a kid??

Glitter Week Day 7!!

Alright well I honestly have 13 posts of glitters so this whole 'glitter week' isn't an actual week thing! haha :)

There are only 6 more days to enter my giveaway! So be sure to run and do that :) My plans are to add two more prizes: one for an additional winner (4 prizes total) and one for the person with the most unique comment. These things will happen only if I reach 200 followers :D So run and tweet and tell everyone and their brother! lol i love odd sayings.

Okay from left to right: Studio M Magic Attraction, Nubar Gem, Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty, Claires Glow in the Dark

From left to right: Glow in the Dark, Queen of Beauty, Gem, and Magic Attraction

Each is two coats of glitter by themselves.

Here they are again, each with one coat of black and one coat of glitter!

Here is a close up of  Magic Attraction. It is a clear base (its hard to tell) with just a crap ton of glitter! Its pretty amazing. I might pick up another one for my giveaway just because it is so unique. Most of the glitter is a coppery brown with holographic glitter also.

Here is a close up of Gem. It looks dupey to the glitter above, I'll do a comparison eventually. The main difference is this has a colored base. I don't know what color to call it honestly. Almost a brown leaning mauve. lol. Either way, it is also packed with glitter and holographic glitter. 

Here is a close up of Queen of Beauty. It is a clear based glitter with true silver glitter. No holographic or changing colors. It is actually pretty awesome without holographicness. As you can see, it does not like to spread out evenly by itself. So i recommend a color underneath it. 

Here is the glow in the dark nail polish. Claire's makes a bunch of different colors of glow in the dark nail polish, and this one is the white/clear version. It has light sparkles and you cannot tell it is glow in the dark. It is a great topper to give that extra pizazz. From what I can tell, the more layers of this polish - the more glow in the dark it is. I recommend at least three layers of it to make it glow!

So what do you think? Do you like the giveaway idea? :) Remember to enter it! It ends 6/30 at midnight and it is open internationally!! 

P.S. My little sister has started her own blog (hehe she wants to be like me :) ) and wanted me to tell you girls about it. She loves art and that is what it is based on. :)  http://artwork101-ashtyn2001.blogspot.com/

Haul SPAM!!

Okay, I have been putting off blogging until I unpacked! Sorry :( And the day I want to start up again... BLOGGER IS DOWN. :( It was all in all a very depressing day. But I have some awesome posts planned so stay tuned :)

For today I figured I would post pictures of all of the hauls I have had in the past two weeks. And you might say, how many hauls could you possibly have? Well....a lot. I truly am addicted haha :)

Warning: PIC HEAVY :)

First, A picture of what I came home to from college....

Yes, they are all polishes :D  Don't judge me!! :)

All of the polishes contained in said packages.....

I did not write down all of them, but just comment and I'll look up the name for a certain one :)

Here was an especially awesome package from an awesome ebayer...

My three awesome polishes, PLUS a hand written note, free bottle of Sephora's nail polish remover, Perfume sample, and mini OPI!!! :)

I have no idea what color this is (no name on the bottle), but If you girls recognize it let me know!!

This is a pretty accurate picture of the color.

My new crackles :):):):)

Here is a true testimony to how awesome Zoya is! I received my Zoya Earth Day order and when I opened it, there were six polishes that I did not order!! I talked to customer service and told them what happened. They shipped my correct order out right away and let me keep the ones I received in error!! I got to get more Zoya and they are all beautiful! I just never would have gotten them myself!!

Here is my haul from the Earth Day order....

From left-right: Zoya Reece, Gwin, Faye, Valerie, Apple, Charla, Crystal, Roxy, Ki, Adina, Areetha

And my extra beauties :)

From L-R: Sarah, Jasmine, Rica, Ivanka, Demi, Kotori

Plus I ordered the Mod Matte Minis !!!

Then I got these from Lacquer Lady's Blog Sale :)

She still has some awesome polishes so be sure to check it out.

And eeppp!! My first Catrice polish :)

From L-R: China Glaze Short and Sassy, China Glaze Stella, OPI Last Friday Night, Orly Fantasea, Catrice Sold out forever, and Zoya Crystal

Then I went to Meijer and saw that the JUST put tons of polishes into clearance. Anything 'Eastery'. PLUS! All Wet n Wild Cosmetics are 50% off!! Go run to Meijer's Girls!!!

From L-R: Nicole by OPI It Starts with Me, Nicole by OPI The Next CEO, Wet n Wild Waves of Enchantment, Studio M Jelly Bean Dream, Studio M Plum Perfection, Studio M On the Hunt, Studio M Painted Eggs

THEENNN I took my first trip to the mall since I have been back from college and came home with my first Claire's Polish, First Revlon and First Maybelline !! Plus it killed my lemming for a glow in the dark nail polish :D

From  L-R: Revlon Ruby Ribbon (Matte), Revlon Emerald City (Matte), Nameless Claire's Glow in the Dark Clear, Claire's Mood Nail Polish Earthy/Happy, Maybelline Express Finish Timely Turquoise

Then I went to Sally's and used my Free China Glaze Coupon with my 15% off coupon. I can't say no to sales!!! And they gave me ANOTHER 15% off coupon!! They know it is my weakness :)

P.S. After writing this I just got a package with Teenage Dream by OPI !! I finally have the full Katy Perry Collection. WOOOO!!

Are you as addicted as me? Is this normal?? (please say yes!) How have your hauls been?

Easter Mani - Day 3!

Happy Easter to all that celebrate :) And Happy Sunday to everyone else!!!

I Have had a lot of fun with Easter this year (It is my favorite holiday :) and I am going to share some of my fun with you! 

First, coloring eggs..... I guess all kinds of color (not just nail polish) love my fingertips. 

Keep in mind that this was after 3 hand washes :)

But it does give my Easter mani that extra something :)

Instead of a green thumb I have a pink one :) I think we should use a pink thumb to describe nail polish lovers :D

Anywhoo I'm an idiot and forgot my camera connector at school so you are just going to have to look at the phone camera version of my mom's Easter mani. And just know that the awesomeness is even better in real life :)

UPDATE :) 

She wanted all of her nails to look like they were Easter eggs. I love the way it turned out :D and they are soooo shiny its ridiculous!! Everyone was stopping her and asking her where she got her nails done. She was so cute and proud :) 

For the colors I used Color Club Yum-Gum (hot pink), Twiggie(Green), Secret Rendezvous(purple), Sheer Disguise(blue), Get A Clue(light pink) , and Studio M's French Tip (white). For the Silver lines I used Art Club's Silver. Then I used SESR's Pearly white color and their pure white.

In case anyone was wondering Yum Gum is part of Color Club's Wicked Sweet Line that is all Scented. And though I was hesitant, I still got these and they do not dissapoint!!! They smell awesome! And are scented the entire time you have your mani on.  Even through a top coat and other colors :) 

Have a great day!!!

P.S. For anyone that is paying attention, I have used like the same 10 colors this entire weekend. This is due to the fact that all my nail polish is at school and it is physically impossible to bring them all back home haha :) Even though I want to!

Easter Mani - Day 1!

Happy Friday everyone!! I have decided that I am going to feature easter inspired nails from now until Easter (and maybe even after that).

So here is Day one!! I did these for my little sister, it was the first time she had seen Konad, and lets just say she was superrrr excited :) 

She couldn't pick just one color or just one stamp :) They look almost like eggs ! And of course, we had to add SPARKLES :D

The glitter is actually an awesome find from Meijer, Studio M's Magic Attraction. It is an awesome clear base stuffed with holographic glitter. [Not visible in pics because these are taken with a phone camera :( ]

Other colors I used from thumb to pinky : Studio M's Neon Caution, Color Club Twiggie, Color Club Get a Clue, Color Club Yum Gum, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet. 

These were all awesome colors to work with, opaque and pastel awesomeness :) I used Konad's Special White polish and a variety of plates. 

Hope you are having a good day and hopefully enjoying your day off :)

ZOYA :):)

Okay so many of you have probably heard by now that the Zoya Earth Day Polish Exchange is going on, and if not CLICK ON THAT LINK :)

Basically the gist is that if you send in your crappy nail polish, they give you half off Zoya nail polish!!! Woo hooo!! So now, thanks to yesterday's blog haul and today's ordering, I went from owning NO Zoya, to owning.... well alot :)

Here are the colors I picked (It was soooo hard to choose!!)

Ki

Valerie

Crystal

Faye

Areetha

Charla

Adina

Apple

Reece

Ivanka

Gwin

Roxy

Also I got some of Zoya's base and top coat. I was hearing some things about how if you use any other brand they chip off easily? Oh well :) 

As an added bonus the site automatically added color spoons for the intimate collection and mod mattes collection FREE :) I'm a happy camper hehe. 

And on to the nail art of the day :)

TAA DAAH!!! Looks like a complicated manicure but it really wasn't. I just used my nail art striper to do a bunch of different patterns. I'm pretty proud at how well this turned out because I am rarely creative. This is actually being modeled by one of my friends (she said she didn't know how to be a hand model :) I used two coats of Studio M's French Tip for the base and added a coat of Seche Vite before putting the colors on. The colors do not have names they are just the nail art paints that are sold at Sally's with the brand name of So Easy Stride Rite. (Which will henceforth be referred to as SESR, mainly because I am lazy)

Well have an amazing Thursday :) I know I will love sleeping in ;)

What is your opinion about the Zoya top/base coat debate?? Do you get theirs or just say who cares? :)

Starting Out :)

Okay so many of you may be surprised, or not so surprised to hear that I want to start a nail polish blog :) And just in case anyone wants to make fun of me for it see this picture....

Don't be mean or she will come and get you!!

Haha jussst kidding :) She is actually pretty normal and nice.

Most of the time :)

Okay on to the nails!!

I suppose my fascination with nail art started in August/September of 2010. I just found the nail art pens and brushes :) And I was hooked from there! Although I have always had a weakness for buying nail polish since I was a kid. haha :) And since I live in a college dorm word got out pretty quick about how I loved painting nails. I ran out of ideas pretty quick so we started to google ideas and from there I discovered the wonderful world of nail blogs!!! :D

Tonight my friend (pictured above :) convinced me to start one of my own. (It didn't take much convincing) And here I am!! 

So on to the first manicure post!!

Here is my current manicure...

I got this idea from a fellow blogger though I can't remember who. Sorry!

The nail polishes I used from thumb to pinky:

Studio M - French Tip

Essie - Pop Art Pink

Color Club - Yum Gum

Color Club - Poptastic

Color Club - Warhol

And let me just say the whiff of bubble gum I get throughout the day is AMAZING! Not an overpowering scent and it is true to the label :)

I did the dots on my thumb by using a dotting tool and the colors from my other nails. 

Thanks for listening to me ramble :D
