Lust

Hi my friends, I hope y'alls week is off to a great start :D Today I have Aziza Lust. I went over my polish budget last week, so I went to the .99 Store and found this beauty. The formula was very sheer I used 3 coats and probably could've used 1 more. It was easy to work with. I love this red! This is a great substitute for OPI's Thanks so Muchness! .99 vs 8.50, what an awesome deal! So, if your on a budget the .99 Store would be a great place to go. Have a great day :D

Easel-Y Entertained

Hi everyone, It's Monday again! I hope everyone had a fun filled weekend. Saturday we (my BF, my Cowboy, and I) were in my nephew George's band Walk of Christianity 1st music video and it's gonna be awesome! I can't wait for the premiere! Then, we went to Houston's 1st annual Tamale Festival. It was fun! I wanted to taste every single tamale there! They had thai, corn w/spinach, pork, chicken, black bean, spinach and so many other unique tamales. I wanted to taste them all! We got there late, which means they were sold out of a lot :( I had to settle for the traditional tamales. Some were yummy and some so-so. The DJ's and bands were great. For those who don't know me, I'm Mexican-American and grew up on old school Tejano music and was waiting for the gritos. Not a single grito :( Click here for the origination of the grito or click here for the fun version :) Although the guy doing the grito DID NOT do it justice, so I'm adding a video :)

Ok, enough of my ramblings. Today I have for you Finger Paints Easel-Y Entertained over 1 coat of Rimmel Black Satin with SHAC Top Coat. Originally I was going to use Easel-Y Entertained alone, but didn't want so much glitter to clean. So, I used 1 coat over Black Satin. Once on I was totally in love, it has blue and purple glitter in a dark base. It looked like I dipped my fingers in velvet! I love, love, love! I did my pinky using 4 coats of Easel-Y Entertained alone so y'all can see what it looks like. I hope you all enjoy my little history lesson, have a great Monday my friends :) Sorry about the middle finger I had to redo twice :/

There were so many videos, but this was the best grito. I was literally laughing so hard watching these videos!

Meadow

Hi everyone, I hope y'alls weekend has been a great one! Today is mani/pedi day with my mom, grandma, and tia. I only did my mom because, my grandma and tia were asleep. Today I have Zoya's Meadow 1 coat with no top coat, (I forgot to bring it) :/ My mama has really long nails so I wanted to put 2 coats, but she didn't want me to :/ When I used this on my mani I used 1 coat and was over the moon! I love 1 coaters! The formula was thick, but over all easy to work with. My mom loved the gold shimmer. Me, well it's pretty for a pink. Ok, my friends have an awesome Sunday :D

Vertical Rush

Hi my beautiful friends! It's Friday! WHOO HOO! Today I have 2 coats of China Glaze Vertical Rush with SHAC Top Coat and stamped with plate sh20. This is the only China Glaze I own and I'm not sure how I feel. The formula is thin, but very pigmented and almost a 1 coater. Beacause of it's thin consistency I found it difficult to work with. I'll just have to keep in mind all polishes are different and let this polish do the work instead of me doing the work. I love the color though kinda burgundy with purple and red shimmer. The 1st pic shows the shimmer and the 2nd pic is the truest color. I won't be posting tomorrow :( I'm going to be in my nephew George's Christian Rock Band's 1st music video and then going to a tamale festival! I'm super excited for him and his band! What's a tamale festival? I've never been to one, but imagine there will be lots of tamales! HEHE :) Have a great Friday :D

I dedicate this to our Veterans and those serving in the Military. Some are here some are not. Thank you for your bravery, your courage and the sacrifices you make/made for this country. Without you this country wouldn't be the great nation it is! Thank you David (My Baby Boy), Sabrina (my sissy), Frank (my nephew), and J (my best 2nd cousin) Y'all are the bestest!

Love Nails

Hi everyone, It's Thursday and to some that means Thirsty Thursday. For me it's laundry day :/ For today's mani I let my BF to chose the color and he chose Sinful Colors Love Nails and I stamped with bm203. It's a very lovely sky blue with green undertones. Ok, I have to say, I smudged like 3 fingers so I had to redo my base coat. The first time around I had no issues doing what I do (3 coats and SVTop Coat), but the second time around my base coat dried with bumps (3 coats and Sally Beauty Top Coat) I think it's the top coat I used :/ I saw a bottle of top coat and wondered why it was still full (I have no no full bottles of top coat.) So, I said I'll just use this one. As my nails were drying I noticed bumps and remembered that's why the bottle's full! It did the same thing the first time I used it! Arrgghh! If I didn't have laundry to do I'd do it again, but I have no more time to play today! LOL Have an awesome Thursday :D
 
                                                            No bumps :)

                                                             See the Bumps :(

Pinky Wednesday

Hi everyone, It's Pink Wednesday and Week 3 of my 12 week challenge. I had a really difficult time deciding on a pink and which design to attempt. I decided on Warrior's Circle and the pink I chose was Sally Hansen's Flashy Fuchsia with SHAC Top Coat. This pink has some purple shimmer and is quite pretty. You really can't tell in the pics though :( The best thing about this polish is it's 1 coat! Yes, 1 coat! I've had this pink for 4 years and nice too know it's still good. The sun is out today! Yay, I get to take outside pics! Oh, I bought some Simple Pleasures nail polish, if anyone knows anything about this company please leave me a comment. I was going to use this brand today but the smell is just horrible!  Which sucks because I love the formula :/ Have a great day everyone :D P.S. I used plate bm03.

Warrior's Circle: Represnts the power of thousands of Warriors uniting together.

I dedicate this mani to all Warriors uniting together doing everything possible to spread the awareness.

Fatigues

Hi everyone. I hope everyone's week is going great! Today I have MAC's Cream Fatigues. It's green with a lot of gray to it. Idk about this one. I didn't like the color on it's own. The best way to describe how I feel about this color is 'ehh'  I'll probably get some use out of it though, for some ideas I have. So, it's not a total loss. Anyway I used 2 coats and stamped with sh22 and topped with SV. After I stamped it, I felt I should be in a swamp or marsh somewhere. lol The color looks gray in the pic :/ and the sun isn't out, that's why I haven't posted any sunlight pics. I'm still practicing my stamping skills, so please forgive my boo boo's :) Have a great day everyone :D
