French Tips

On Tueday, I went to have my nails filled.  I was tired of the plain ole nail polish look, so Sabrina(the girl who does my nails), suggested that we do a french tip using the Muppets collection.  I needed something that stood out, so I decided to do an accent nail on each hand.  Actually, I don't know what colors she used as I let her pick.

I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but in fact, I love it!  It's subtle, yet has that glam factor that I like.  I want something for the holiday season, but not a classic red and green and to be honest, I stink at nail art.

BTW, I have a lot of Nubar Dual Tip Nail Art Pens for sale.  $2.00 each/plus shipping.  Leave a comment if interested.

imPRESS Press-on Manicure

Yesterday, I received my Influenster’s VoxBox via their program.  I've taught my 6 yr old niece well.  She grabbed the imPress Press-on nails right out of the box even before I could get my hands on them.  Within a matter of a few minutes, she had on the nails and loves them!  The two of us already picked out several different pattern that we liked and plan on using the $1.00 coupon that was sent along with the box.  Thank you Influenster for an awesome VoxBox.  Oh, and Destiny thanks you too!

OPI Meep Meep Meep


Two days ago, I decided to get my nails filled.  I know, I know...a lot of people are "against" acrylics.  I find that with them, my nails and hands look better.  Without them, I feel like I have "man hands" as I call them.

I knew that I wanted to try OPI's Meep Meep Meep, since it looked so pretty on another bloggers nails.  I usually don't wear reds as I do not think that red is a good color for my nails or me.  I don't even own one piece of red clothing.  But, I gave it a shot.

I'm still not sure what I think about it.  I was thinking about using one of my BM plates and stamping a design with silver.  Who knows.  I just might change the color...everyday!  For me, I'm not impressed with the color :/

BM 212 Nail Art



Today's Nail Art:

Basecoat: Wet N Wild Carribean Frost, BM 212 peacock stamped with Rimmel Midnight Blue, Wet N Wild Hallucinate for some bling and SV topcoat.

In other news, hubby saw on Craigslist last night that a lady just closed down her salon and has over 80 bottles of brand new, never used China Glaze nail polish. We hopped right on it and sent her an email.

I spoke to her this morning and she told me that they were mine if I wanted them and that she also had a nail rack that we would give me.

We are going to her house tonight to pick them up.

I am so excited. This just made my year.

w00t.

So, here's the thing. I do not need 80 bottles of polish. Well, yes I do LOL but I want to have a giveaway if I get enough followers. I just don't know how to set this blog up to have one. I'll have to figure that out or ask someone. I have other brands that I would like to giveaway as well.


I don't post often because I suffer from daily chronic headaches and they keep me laid up, so when I am having somewhat of a good day, I do my nails.
I hope you can follow me, comment on what you think and see what I have to come.

Stay tuned....

Water Marbling



This is my first attempt at water marbling.  Personally, I think it looks much better in person then it does it the pictures.  My nails still need to be cleaned up a bit.  Nonetheless, I am still happy with the way it turned out.  Start to finish, it took me an hour.  That includes taping of the fingers and cleaning my fingers.  The colors I chose for this mani were:
1. Funky Fingers Platinum
2.  Orly It's Not Rocket Science
3.  Finger Paints Copper Elements
4.  Picasso's Puce
And, I used SV as my topcoat.

I was going to get them, but thought that I should think about it first. In the meantime, I purchased Finger Paints. I am new to this brand. Anyone who uses it, I would love your feedback :) I got:
Sally's was running a special. If you purchased 3 Finger Paints, you got a clutch wallet for FREE. They had teal(which I chose), red and a black and white floral.

A cute story. R(the hubby) and I were laying in bed before bed and I told him how I want to go back and get this and that. He said "let's pay the mortgage first before you do anything" Lol.

Sponge Mani



This was my first try at it and I impressed myself. Is it even called a sponge mani? Lol. And, I have no idea why I am holding a Sinful Colors bottle, because I used Funky Fingers Island Collection.

Fall



Usually a week or so before I need to get a fill, I do something to my nails. I did another splatter cause I just love how it looks.

The base color was Tanzy, It's Not Rocket Science and Gr8.

Thought it was pretty fall-ish.

Awesome Deal



I'ma thinking I scored a good deal. I just purchased The Metro Collection by China Glaze for $39.95 shipped! All 12 bottles. w00t. There are 3 that I am unsure of(color wise) and those are Midnight Magic, Skyscraper & Street Chic. My favorite out of this collection is Westside Warrior.

Expensive Pedi





These are my toes. This is the work of my 6 yr old niece. Each toe was painted a different color from the Funky Fingers Island Collection. Then, she used China glaze and crackle-ized(her word) each nail with a different color. This pedi costs me 900 trillion billion dollars. She settled for a buck :)
