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!!!)

Mom Monday!!

I think I will do Mom Mondays until I run out of mani's haha :)

She is so funny! Always wants tips on her nails and these sparkles :) 

This is OPI Ogre-the-top Blue with Julep tips in Helena.

And my mom's signature sparkle - Wet n Wild Megalast Dasher

Day 14 - Flowers :)

Fun Fact: the only thing I can draw on paper is Flowers :)

I have gotten better at other things because of nail art, but flowers will always be my favorite. 

Here is my favorite flower mani :)

This was with OPI Russian Navy and a striper brush. I was so proud :D

This was obviously before the blog as you can see my crappy hand posture and lack of clean up. But still a great manicure

Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

Here is a mani I did like a few weeks ago for my friend and totally forgot about. But I love it so I wanted to share it with you.

From L-R: Zoya Sarah, Rica, Finger Paints Psychedelic Sunshine, Zoya Ivanka, Charla

From L-R: Zoya Kotori, OPI Last Friday Night, Zoya Mimi, Lindsay, Ozotic 528

So I did them in order on each nail, and alternated from silver to black swooshes.

This was super fun to do! It is a great idea for simple nail art too! I just used some stripers from sallys. 

July 4th!! A wee bit late :)

I know I know, I am late. But in my defense I was at the hospital yesterday for a reallllly annoying procedure. And I slept the rest of the day. I am finally feeling normal so here goes :)

I apologize for the wear on some of these, I painted my mom and my grandma's nails and it took me a week to track them down to take a picture of their nails haha :)

These were my grandma's nails. She was so excited whenever people asked where she got her nails done :) She was proud lol. I started with a coat of White Out by Sally Hansen, then taped off her nails and added Color Club Chelsea Girl (blue), and OPI An affair in Red Square (red). And topped it off with silver Stripe Rite striper polish.

That OPI is hers actuallly, the ONLY nail polish she owns, CRAZY :)

These were my mom's nails. She does this thing where I paint the base coat and she just keeps asking for more and more lol. I used China Glaze Sexy in the City for the base coat, then she wanted dots. So I added dots of  White on by sally hansen. Then she wanted red tips, that is An Affair In red Square. Then wanted me to line them with white. phew! It took awhile but she was satisfied :) I think they look like wonder woman!

These were my nails at one point. I think I will be doing them again for the 14th of July because that is France's Independence day and It looks like their flag :)

This is a total fail. I had high hopes for this in my head but it just sucked! I did the red base coat on my nails (Ruby Ruby by Sinful Nail Colors) and Blue (Fly Away Sinful Nail Colors) on my thumb and ring fingers. Then I used the Spectraflair top coat for a funky french. It was super messy so i added the line of white to make it look better. The problem was, I was on my way somewhere so I lined them while in a car. NOT a good idea. It was reallly hard to keep it steady. Then I added a star of the opposite color on each. I was in a hurry and in a car but if I would have taken my time it would look alot better :)

This was what I ended up with as my mani! It was my first water marble ever! I love how it came out :) I used the same red white and blue as above. Plus I didn't like the way my thumbs turned out so I added a second coat of water marbled and it was soooo cool! It was kinda see through so you could see the bottom layer. It gave it a cool depth. So now my thumbs are my fav! Click it for the awesomeness!!!

So there you have it! I am gunna start scheduling my posts so hopefully they are more regular :)

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!

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?? :)

Friday Night Post!! :)

Today, I have a swatch of OPI's Last Friday Night. It is a part of the Katy Perry Collection. I wasn't too excited by this in the bottle but I bought it to complete the Katy Perry Collection. I would consider this a jelly just for the fact that it applied like jelly. There was tons of glitter suspended in each coat.

All Pics are in full sun with one coat on the pinky, two on the ring, three on the middle, and four on the pointer. This definitely needs four coats, maybe five if you wear it on your own. But it would be a fantastic blingy manicure :) I have seen tons of swatches where this was layered and the possibilities are endless with this polish. Overall, I like it but next time I am using some polish thinner!

But check out the awesome glitter on this!!!!

P.S. I didn't even realize it was Friday night until now :D How perfect!!

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 :)

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

This is a pretty accurate picture of the color.

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!!
