My newest Valentines Mani~~

I loved these colors and had to put them together!  Started with Essie Lady Godiva, then Butter knackered over it!!  So pretty alone!  Then I saw a tutorial and had to copy!


Pictures just don't so it justice!!


Then I added a I made a stencil into a heart then I stamped it wit M73, then used my acyrlic red to outline it!    It was fun and turned out better than I thought.  I'm getting better everytime!!

I just did a new polish job and its by far its a favorite!!!  Its gorgeous!  It was super easy too!!  I used Finger Paints Winter Sky and Revlon something or other (I'll figure it out later!)  Then I stamped using plate M72 and used Konad White.

Wednesday Mani

I was so tired of that pink!  I loved the color, but every nail was a bit much Barbie for me!  I kept singing that Barbie Girl song.  So fantastic, made of plastic; something or other!!


I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri-Blue Streak and Konad White, With Seche Vita top coat of course! On my ring finger I added a few rhinestone stickers.  The base was ready to stamp on in 10 min!!  I was so impressed!  I love stamping!!!

Sally's Haul

I went to Sally's to check out their clearance stuff!!  Not a whole lot that I had to have, but a few things!  Why do I do this to myself??  All for $7.37!

Facebook Groups!

I have recently been pulled into (willingly) 4 nail polish groups on Facebook!!  I am having such a blast!  Learning more of whats out there (hubby will not be happy) and so many ideas that are fantastic!  There is so much more out there than I ever knew of!!  Scary I know!  Hopefully some of theses nail designs that I feel are so out of reach, I can learn to master them and be more confident in my designs!

Animal Days!!

My good friend Crystal came over today for a manicure and she chose 2 colors that went together great!!  Then she picked the giraffe stamp.  Turned out way cute!!

For the bas we used OPI Bling Dyanasty and for the stamped Color is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Coco a-go-go using stamp plate M61.  Then of course Seche Vite Top coat.

Any other animal print lovers out there??  I cant wait to try out some more!!

Funky Valentines Mani!

My new mani!!  I'm not too sure about it yet.  The Zoya polish is wonderful, Its well worth the $8, but if u can get it for less even a better deal!  I LOVE a deal!!!



I started with Zoya's barbie, 2 coats.  Then I stamped with Sinful Colors Oasis, Zoya Tallulah, Ulta Material Girl with stamp M46 big heart and then still didn't like it so I put Pure Ice Spit Fire over the top, the of course Seche Vita Top Coat.  That was on most of the nails, the ring fingers; I did Sinful Colors Snow Me White Stamp M20, then  Zoya Pippa for the middle of the flower, and then Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Crushed on the other hand for the middle of the flower on the other hand.

Nail Mail!!

Got my $6.95 Zoya polishes in da mail today!!  From Left to Right; Tallulah, and Barbie.  These polishes sell for $8 a piece!!  Awesome score!

New Polish Swatch n Review

From my last post, these are what the newest colors look like and what I thought of them.   I will try and not be too long!


Starting from above my left finger isSally Hansen (SH) Diamond Strength Diamonds, SH Insta Dri Blue streak, SH Xtreme Wear Crushed, SH Salon Complete Thinking of Blue, Nicole Brilliant Idea, SH Insta Dri Coco a go go, China Glaze (CG) Fireside Glow, CG Holly Day, CG Mistletoe Me, Zoya Pippa, Revlon Super Nature, Essie Lady Godiva, Revlon Blue Mosiac, SH Salon Complete Navy Baby, SH Diamond Strength Platinum.

I really loved the way ALL the Sally Hansen went on.  Nice and smooth and only used 2 coats and dried well.  The Insta Dri had a faster drying time and possibly could have gotten away with 1 coat.

China Glaze went on fabulous as well, did we even question that?  Did need 2 coats and not try quite as fast, but so pretty and nice to use.

Revlon was nice to use as well, more sheer than the others, could use 3 coats easy.  But the green n the blue sparkles are amazing colors!

Essie is a great brand as well, this is my first bottle.  This went on great and will be so pretty once I add sparkles or stamp it.

The Zoya Yellow is wonderful and goes well with my Revlon Green, cant wait to use those colors together.  My first purchase of this brand.  Love it!!

Whew!!  Lots of work!!!  Have a colorful day!!

More New Colors for a Fraction of the Cost!!!

Thru various other blogs people have been posting all about these great deals they got, well I decided to see for myself!!  They are fabulous.  My new polish hauls!
