Gold Blitz

Hi everyone, It's the start of a brand new week. So whatever didn't go your way or as you wanted last week or even yesterday, today you get the chance to start again! Yesterday, I went to Walmart to get some ingredients I needed to make lasagna (SO YUMMY) I ended up buying 4 polishes for under $15. Yay! One of the polishes I bought was Milani's Gold Blitz. When I saw this color it instantly reminded of the 70's disco era. Plus, it said one coat. It has red, gold and orange glitter. This polish did not dissapoint! It only took 1 coat, once on it popped and was exactly the color that drew me to the bottle. Once dry it was a bit grainy and hungry I had to put 3 coats of SV to smooth it out. It may even look a bit Michael Jackson-ish. LOL Doesn't matter I like Michael. I was going to stamp it, but I didn't want to take away from this color :) This color was so hard for me to photo :/ This pic is outside. The first 2 fingers are a bit blurry, sorry :( No justice I tell you, this polish is bling bling sparkly!

Purple-Opolis

Hi my friends, It's Sunday and I hope it's been a fab weekend for you all. I went to my mama'a house yesterday and have some pics for y'all. My grandma and Tia cannot move their hands so that's why the awkward pics. I should've taken my tools with me, but oh well. I'll really fix them up next week. We all had such a great time :D My Tia asked if I'd do her toes too. For those who know me, know I DO NOT like to touch other people's feet 0_0 Only for love did I do this :D Ok, on to today's mani. I have another OPI. This is a beautiful mauve with gold shimmer called Purple-Opolis. I knew I was going to like the color, but once on it was so soft and elegant. I'm in love yet again. OPI you've outdone yourself. I used 2 coats. stamped with Shany plate sh20 and topped with SV.  I chose konad blue special polish because it's the only one I have left. I could've used a regular polish, but none were sticking to the stamper. So, blue it was. I really like this Shany plate. Most of the full nail designs are big enough to stamp even my thumb w/o restamping. Good job Shany! Ok, everyone have an awesome Sunday!

Thanks So Muchness!

Hi everyone, It's Saturday! Yesterday, I told y'all I was going to my mama's house. Well, my car battery said otherwise :/ I was so bummed about it :( But, I've got a new one and I'm on my way. YAY! Ok, onto today's mani. I chose OPI's Thanks So Muchness! Let me tell you this is one awesome red! I'm in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I was going to stamp it, but I just love it too much. I don't want to take this polish off, so I'm going to stamp it tomorrow. Can you tell I love this color? hehe I went to a beauty supply store by chance. I was driving and saw the store from the street. I turned around and decided to give it a look see. They had a BOGO and who could resist? I bought 4 and got 4 free. This was one of them. Boy am I glad I turned around! Anyway, I used 2 coats and topped it with SHAC Top Coat. Have a nice day everyone :D

Off With Her Red!

Hi everyone, Friday is finally here! Today, I'm going to spend the day at my mama's. I get to do 3 manis while I'm there! I get to glam up my mom, grandma, and my tia's nails. YAY! I've only done one mani on someone other than myself. I'm excited and nervous :D My mom's fav color is red, so I'll take a red for her and my grandma and tia idk. I'll just take some colors and let them choose. Ok, enough about that on to my mani. I chose OPI's Off With Her Red! It looks to me like a burnt orange. I love how this polish just glides right on. I did 2 coats coulda used 3, but you all know I don't like to put more than 2 :D I stamped with bm21 using Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Mochachino and topped with SV. Mochacino has a shimmer that I liked once on my nails. Idk if I captured it the pics though. When I was done with my mani I thought it looked 50's-ish I guess because the stamp I chose and the polish is dark. I instantly thought wallpaper. LOL :) Anyway, off I go to have my mani party. I'll post pics tomorrow. Have a great Friday :D

LAST TIME

Hi everyone, The weekend is almost here! Whoop Whoop. I'm taking my mom to the Dr, so this will be a short post. All I can say about today's mani is BLAH! It's a foil from Pure Ice called First time. Well, it will be the LAST TIME I wear it! I'll probably use this a stamping polish. This the ugliest polish I own. I just did not dig it. Maybe I just didn't like the foil part??? Anyway, I stamped with m72 using a black polish. The great thing about my mani is I'm improving my stamping abilities. Have a great Thursday bye :D

Heart

Hi everyone, It's Pink Wednesday. It's week 2 of my 12 week challenge. I chose hearts as my symbol. The symbol isn't close to the actual symbol, but I like that it has lots of hearts in the design. Today's polish is Orly's Oh Cabana Boy. As you all know I'm not into pinks, but this pink is awesome! It's so bright, I'd say it's hot pink. I used two coats, stamped with plate bm59 using Sally Hansen's Flirt and topped it with SV. And, sinse I felt good about my stamping skills I stamped all my fingers :) I took a bazillion pics, but not one of them comes even close to the true color of this bright and vibrant pink :( Have a great day everyone :D

Heart: Represents those who stand strong with loved ones who battle the disease.

I dedicate this mani to all of us standing strong by our loved ones battling this awful thing called breast cancer.

BLUEY

Hi everyone, It's November and that means my Cowboy will be celebrating a birthday :D Today I chose a Butter London. This a blue a gold shimmer or silver shimmer??? IDK. I didn't have a particular reason. It was the first polish I grabbed. This polish is very sheer. I had to apply 3 coats :/and finished with SV Top Coat. When I was applying the color, I didn't think I was going to like it. I have to say much to my surprise it's a lovely color. I wanted some snow flakes so I stamped with m59. This may not be a snow flake, but in my mind it is :D I really like these two colors together. I couldn't get the true color of this color and I got an air bubble on my index finger :/ I promise it is lovely. Have a great day :D
