Chopped

Cut my nails today. They were growing weird.

The polish I'm wearing today is one of my favorite Zoya polishes. It's called 'Rica'. It makes me feel so girly. Love this rose gold color :)

It always looks orange to me until I hold it up to an orange lol


Yesterday

I painted my nails a color that is prettier in the bottle than on my nails. I've done a post on this before but now that I'm wearing it again I almost wish I hadn't.

The color is by Nicole by OPI and it's called 'Light A Candle'. The picture speaks for itself.

Coral please

Yesterday I did paint my nails but forgot to post. So I have on Sally Hansen 'Coral Fever'. I absolutely love the color but I have some issues with it.

First off that it is so streaky! I had to do 4 coats to get it fully opaque.

Second the drying time is not the best. Thankfully I had nothing to do with my hands for 10 hours or else I'd have swear words added in here...

Thirdly that I even applied a top coat (which I sometimes don't do because I remove the polish the next day) and I have a chip on my thumb.

With that being said though, I still love this polish! This color is the closest I can get to pink and it reminds me of cantaloupe. And now I'm hungry...

I know this picture us super awkward but the ring finger is true to color :)

Blue baby

Todays/yesterdays nails are by Essie. The color is 'Coat Azure' from last years spring collection. I picked this up at a drug store 50% off! Holla!

Everytime I wear this I get SO many compliments... If you can still find this I highly recommend it:

Bare nakkey

Yeah. You can barely tell I have anything on. Oh well. I wanted to go for the "clean and professional" look but I just feel odd.

Todays polish is OPI 'Bubble Bath'. Very sheer, very streaky: this is after two coats.... o_O.

Barney?

Today's nail polish is a color I got purely because someone said it was pretty. I didn't do any research or look up swatches or anything... I just bought it because Zoya was having a BOGO... So yeah. I needed another color and I couldn't make up my mind.

The color is called 'Demi'. I immediately think of Demi Moore when I hear that name. Any who... The polish. On camera (from the video I discovered this polish on) it looked amazing. It went perfect with her skin tone and almost made me drool it was so pretty.

When I got it in the mail I could smell the stench of nail polish as soon as I opened my mail box. (I usually would not use the word "stench" when describing Zoya because they are vegan friendly and are not supposed to smell that bad.) Turns out that whoever filled my nail polish overfilled my bottle so it was oozing out of the top, sticking to the wrapping it came in. Already disappointed, I grabbed my polish remover and cleaned it off.

When I painted my nails though, my mood immediately got better. This polish is SO drab in the bottle. Not going to lie. On the nails though.... WOW!! I absolutely love it! (my boyfriend on the other hand hates it lol).

Here is my swatch:


Green green

I did another green nail today. Sinful Colors 'San Frisco'

This polish took 4 coats but it was worth it.

Btw. My ring finger is a prime example of what happens when I am at work and bored o_O

Better late than never...

The polish I wore today was one I've shown in a post before. Orly 'Green Apple'

I did the worst thing yesterday so that's why there was no post. I bit my nails off.

I know.

No need to tell me.

I'm horrible.

Anyway, here is another picture :)

Shrimp day

It's like really gloomy outside today. This winter had been full of them, and yet we have not had any snow (which is strange for Idaho).

I decided that I didn't want to give in to mother natures depression so this is my nail color of choice for today:

OPI 'Cajun Shrimp'

3 !

Today I wasn't planning in painting my nails. I work today but have tomorrow off so I was going to paint them tonight in a bath with a glass of wine. Well, on my way out I chipped a nail so I really had to choice or else I would have no nails to paint tonight.

I bring to you Orly 'Blue Collar' which I have done a blog post before. Here is a picture of todays manicure (please ignore my cuticals :/ )

Day two!

I woke up early this morning, had some coffee and some hard boiled eggs. Besides that I painted my nails again... Go me! Way to keep it up! :)

I was going to paint my nails last night but thought that I would get tired and fall asleep and smudge my nails :/ so I decided against it.

Todays polish is by Sally Hansen. It's called 'Commandar in Chic'. One of my favorite nudes.

This picture is after one coat :) Enjoy!

No excuses

Except for the fact that I'm a but too lazy to keep up with this blog.

Jeremiah and I are moving out again so we need to start saving money again. I decided to start a "PROJECT PAN" for my nail polish because that is my most excessive beauty product. I will do my best to use up 5 nail polishes by June of 2012. That is going to be a difficult task considering the fact that I have never used an entire bottle before.

Today I have on Sinful Colors 'Mint Apple' which I have posted about before. That color is the closest I have to being gone so I figured it was a good place to start. :)

Here is a refresher on what this color looks like (only one coat):
