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:

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 :/ )

Lovely Days

I've been meaning to post this post for about a week now. Why haven't I? I've just been lazy, to be prefectly honest. I've been working and that's it. Granted I work from 1PM - 10PM so when I wake up at 10:30AM all I want to do is drink coffee and facebook stalk people ;)

So, I'm posting this now. Today is Saturday and I've had a great day. I got the dogs from Jere's mom's house yesterday because they've been staying there and since I had two days off in a row I wanted to take them. (Puppy custody??!)

This morning we got up and went on an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G hike! I took them to the dog park which is right behind my house. It's usually just a 20 or 30 minute walk but I decided to wander . . . we were out for an hour and fifteen minutes just hiking in the foothills. Needless to say, I've fallen in love with nature and am itching to go camping. Good thing I've got my truck :)

Anyway. This blog is nothing about hiking or work. It's about nail polish. Imagine that.

Remember when I mentioned that my boyfriend is the best nail polish finder? When I painted my nails Blue Collar, I didn't use a topcoat or anything, I used Sally Hansen's Speed Dry Drops (or it's called something extremely similar). My new job involves a lot of typing and using my hands. This is a picture 7 whole days after painting my nails.

(These picture make me so happy! Now I don't have to stress about my nails when they start chipping [unlike Green Apple, it's day 7 and my nails look like death] and I can go longer without painting them).

Spring Nail Polishes!!

Where I live, the weather report and the season are never quite the same . . . yesterday it was sunny and warm . . . today it's clowdy with winds blowing at probably 30MPH, no joke. So when I went to Sally's to get some spring nail polishes today, I was faily disapointed with the weather. Luckily, I had my hair in an up-do so it wasn't getting all over my face :)

I went to Sally's a couple weeks ago and got two polishes that I adored by Orly. One was called Green Apple and the othe was Butterflies. I did my manicure with Butterflies on all of my fingers but my ring fingers. Unfortunately, Butterflies turned out to be a jell consistancy, so I returned it and got the most fabulous blue.

*Quote from All Lacqured Up about Green Apple* :
Green Apple is a vivid lime creme. The bottle color is very deceptive in that the polish dries darker on the nail. It has an almost pastel quality that goes away once applied. And holy pigmentation batman!! I barely needed two coats, it just flows on the nail so perfectly. If you’re looking for a fun spring green, this one is definitely a winner.

I dragged Jeremiah along with me, just because. I couldn't decide on what color to swap it out for. I told him I wanted a creme base (which took a bit for him to understand) and I told him what ones I was leaning toward. Out of his frustration to me for not letting him go to Radio Shack, he kept going "Here's one" or "How about this one?" Then, he did it. He found The One.

Orly: Blue Collar

I love this color of blue! My picture is a bit blurry (or just crappy, I had to brighten it a lot), but I don't care! It's fabulous! This is a two-coater, but they dry super fast and have amazing shine. I love this color and Green Apple as well. :D

YEY for spring!

Good day for me :]

Today has been a great day. Well, actually it's been good since I got home from work which was two hours ago; I've had a great two hours! ;) I came home and finished season two of Friends and painted my nails this beautiful color. It's by Sally Hansen; Complete Salon Manicure collection. It's called Gray by Gray. It's gorgeous. In the bottle it looks like a muted blue grey but in person it's wayy prettier.

The color comes out the same but it's a lot more attention getting than the other blue's I've had. I love it! Also, it has the amazing brush that formes to fit finger nails. Yeah. Amazing!

This picture shows the color as being a LOT more grey than it really is. But then again it is 9:00PM and I don't have access to natural lighting after 5PM thanks to day light savings. :/



This is the best I could get :)

One other thing that made me have a great past 2 hours was what I got in the mail. Any guesses?


Aw yeeeeah!

I'm gonna be better than Mrs. Weasley herself pretty soon :] oooh haha just kidding. That's not possible.

Mint Apple

I painted my nails yesterday during my 3 hour break from work (yea, wasn't very happy about it) and I painted them in a color that I was surprised didn't have a blog post yet. I used this color SO MUCH during the summer; literally my 'go to' color. It's probably one of my favorite colors I have from Sinful Colors and it's called Mint Apple. One of the reasons why I love it is because it's different. It's a color that when I bought it, I wasn't so sure, but I am veryy glad I did.

*Say "Hi" Patton! lol*

It's a beautiful greenish mint color. Since I don't have the proper camera to show it, it also has gold flecks in it. I am obsessed with this color! I have been loving blue polishes on my nails lately and this one is probably my favorite. I always get compliments when I wear this. And the good thing too is that it's only $1.99 to have this amazing nail polish!

Midnight Blue

Yey! It feels so good to be on my regular schedule of blogging and doing videos again. The other day I painted my nails for the first time in forever. I wasn't 100% sure what color I wanted to pick, so when I was going through my nail polishes, I was a little bit dumbfounded as to how quickly this color grabbed my attention. Yes, it's another Sinful Colors, but this one is fantastic. It's a beautiful royal blue. I love this color; I can't stop looking at my fingers :)



This was taken indoors next to natural lighting.

I love this color. I'm definately going to be reaching for it more often! (I say that a lot, lol)
