HAPPY Mani :)

Ugh I cannoooottt believe I forgot to take a pic of this until the day I decided to take it off :(

This is approx 5 coats of Essie Funky Limelight. It was worth it though. Seriously made going back to university soooo much happier :)

Hope you all have a bright cheery hump day!!

Day 6 - Purple !!!!!!

Purple is by farr my favorite color, so this was difficult to decide... I chose Carry On by Essie because it is an awesome fall color and I just got it, (WITH A COUPON). haha

I think this picture shows the potential this color has when in sunlight. It is super stormy here so this is indoors with flash. I would say it would never truly be this color but this is the color it is based on. 

This is what it looks like indoors without flash, it is a great vampy color. A tad lighter than this IRL.

Then I stamped it over with Zoya Dove using BM 206 and then put Seche Vite topcoat on it. 

I love this mani so much I am wearing it right now :D Ill update this post with wear later. 

Day 2 - Orange Mani

Okay so no matter how many pictures I took, this color will NOT show up correctly. This color hates me. Maybe this is why orange is my least favorite color??

Okay this is Essie Meet me at Sunset. This is a bottle shot that is kinda close to the right color, but it is a bit more red in real life. 

(I forgot to clean up Oops)

Here is probably the most true to color picture. This is outside with no flash.

So I figured if I put it next to a red flower, it would look less red.... I was wrong. 

This is a red/orange creme just trust me, It is probably my favorite orange I own even if it is a pain in the butt.

So anyone like orange, have this color, or hate this color???

Hag Fish Skin ;)

For today I have a kind of a palate cleanser if you will. I am so gosh darn pale that nudes really don't do it for me. This is the most boring I get and I actually LOVE greys :)

As for the title of this post, my biology teachers FAVORITE fact:
'Anything marketed as eel skin (eel skin bags or wallets etc) Are actually made with Hag fish skin. But noone would want to buy a Hag fish skin purse!!!'

Haha it cracked me up everytime!!

So for today, I give you Eel Skin by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure!!

All of the above pics have no top coat, one coat on pinky, two on ring, three on middle, and four on pointer.

This was very opaque and you could totally get away with using just two coats!! Plus it is very shiny on its own. 

Right now I am wearing it as a full mani and to change it up I used Essie Matte about you top coat. I think it looks awesome like this!! Now it totally reminds me of hag fish skin!!! haha 

The above photos have two coats!

In case any of you were wondering here is a pic of a hag fish, I really don't know why they have such a weird name!

They are really cool animals actually, they can tie themselves in a knot to escape predators! woo :)

You learn something new everyday don't you?! 

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
