Polish Haul!

Hey everyone! :)

How are ya'll doing?

I am fantastic! Thank you for asking! :p

So, I apologize for the small break I took this week.

As some of you know, I went to NYC over the weekend.

Then when I got home Sunday I had to play a double-header for softball.

That makes for a long day... especially when you're tired.

Then I did have the day off Monday, but I spent the day cleaning! Yes, I cleaned... over doing nails!
What is wrong with me?

Oh yeah... my room was a disaster hole.

I also play volleyball Tuesday's and Thursday's. I've been pretty busy.. it is quite difficult to recuperate after a three day weekend! 

Tonight... I hosted an Arbonne party! Have any of you heard of this?

It's pretty great stuff! I found out about it when I went to a bridal show.

It was REALLY fun. I found the make-up I want to wear for my wedding... I think...

There are soooo many decisions to make! Goodness gracious!

Oh my lanta! I apologize for my life story!

On to the haul already!

 I went shopping on hautelook (http://www.hautelook.com/short/3BneA) during their Color Club sale

They had some really great things on there, but I ended up getting two mini sets.

I got them pretty quickly and was extremely excited!
I got eight colors total including: Style Icon, Muse-ical, By Design, In The Limelight, Ho-Ho Holly, Berry and Bright, Gift of Sparkle, and Snow Flakes.

On to the polish... Beware of pictures!

 

In The Limelight is a true periwinkle, light blue. It is probably my favorite out of all these! The blurred photo shows the true color in my opinion, so I included it.

 



Muse-ical is a very flat, glamorous, and edgy grey. It is very opaque and can be worn with one coat.

 

 

By Design is a medium-dark plum shade. This is also very opaque and one of my new favorites!

 

Style Icon is deep red. It is very classic and perfect for the fall season! Seen below is one coat.

 

Okay, now for the glitter polishes. I only did one nail per color because, let's be honest here, I did NOT want to remove glitter from all my nails four different times! Do you blame me? :p

 

Berry and Bright is a deep red with silver and blue micro glitter.

 

Ho-Ho Holly is a very deep green with blue undertones and gold shimmer. I am so in love with this color. It's perfect!

 

Snow-Flakes is an orange-pink flakie polish. 'nuff said. It is an EXACT dupe for Essie Shine of the Times.

 

 

Gift of Sparkle is my number one favorite out of all my new polishes. It is a purple microglitter base with loads of holographic glitter. It is so beautiful, I can't handle it!

 

 

Woah dang! Is it really midnight already? Where does the time go?

Thanks for reading!

Hello to all new followers! You guys are the best! (hugsss) :)

Now I am going to lay in bed and do a crossword puzzle. How old am I anyway?

 

 

 

C'est fini!

Scan me, please!

Hello again!

How are you doing today? :)

So, I saw today's brilliant manicure in Allure magazine and fell in love!
I thought.. "WOAH buddy, how creative and different!"

They are the bar-code nails!

Therefore, I just had to try it for myself.

I must say, she made it look much easier than it really was!

It took me two tries! I get frustrated easily, so this was annoying me. Plus it was sticky.

(Thanks, vodka!)

To do this cute design you will need: nail polish of choice, bar codes from a magazine, vodka (shots optional), PATIENCE, and a top coat. :)

PS: I would not recomment ThreeOlives Loopy. :p

First you will paint your nails the desired color. I chose OPI Steady as She Rose.

Once that is completely dry, you will dunk the bar code into the vodka then place on the nail, press the bubbles out, and hold in place for a few seconds.

Then you will peel the bar code off slowly. Voila!

Bar code nails.

 

 

Thank you for reading!

Have the best day!

 

Up next: Lavender Florals

C'est fini!

I've Got The Blues

Hey there!

I am here with a new manicure filled with blue and flecks of beautiful color! For a base I used Essie Mezmerised and once that dried I put a coat of Essie Shine of the Times on top! I really love the effect this polish gives the nails. It makes them shine many different colors. This is my first flake polish and I am so glad I got it! It shines a little green, pink, orange, and peach depending on what kind of lighting you have. It's really pretty!
