Boo

Apparently I can only post one picture at a time. Poop




After observing my nails all day (which I posted this morning), I've decided to try out a rainbow stripe mani. It's been in my thoughts for a while but never really had enough space on my nails to comfortably try it out. This package definitely had rebooted my inspiration. Maybe I'll be able to use some of these beautiful SH HD's!! Hopefully they are pigmented enough.

Super crappy NOTD

Hello blog, it's been a while hasn't it? So this is the most extensive nail art I've tried in a while, might as well post it...

This stared out as one mani a few days ago I did to match my shirt..it's been chipping and I've been gradually adding onto it in boredom bit by bit. Today I went a little overboard..:/ and the result is kind of tacky but I still like it:) I would like it a lot better if it wasn't so chunky but oh well. That's what happens when you add on to a mani 3 different times right?

Ok here goes:


Products used:
China Glaze: entourage and custom kicks
Savina: you're my sunshine
Color Club: worth the risqué (the little dots)
Wet n Wild: black creme for the dots

(this started out with ONLY custom kicks on the tips and some little black dots along the nail line. I had a teal shirt with big black buttons down the front and it was all matchy and cute :D)

Also I wanted to post this while I still have nails (minus the index finger) on my left hand. I'm going to be starting teaching piano again and will sadly have to cut them off. My right hand is a mess, by now every single nail has broken.

Naturistics Super Shine - "Sea Ya!"

As promised, here are some more polish swatches. This one is Naturistics Super Shine in "Sea Ya!". The color is classified as a pearl finish, which I agree with :)

It's fairly well pigmented, at least compared to the other Naturistics polish I bought. That one was a bright, royal purple that looked beautiful in the bottle, but turned out to be a sheer, watery mess. I still used 2 coats here just to smooth things out. (Both of these, by the way, were part of the 10 bottles for $4.99 of assorted polishes at my local Grocery Outlet that I talked about earlier.)

The color is pretty, and part of my quest to find the perfect dark, teal color. (I am lamenting the fact that I do NOT own MAC Whirlwind..which looks pretty perfect..) The other teal I have is Zoya's Akyra, which I remember being a bit lighter and greener than this one. I have swatches of Akyra on my computer but they are pretty crappy quality, will re-do later when my nails don't look so terrible.

Lack of posts...AND Huge Giveaway Alert!

So I just noticed that I have 2 new followers that popped up! Exciting! Sorry to disappoint with the serious lack of "real posts" in the past few weeks. The presence of new followers (to a grand total of 4! :P ) is definitely a kick in the butt for me to get some more posts on here, though. I've got a TON of nail polish swatches on my computer, just waiting for me to go through and post. I've also gotten some new products lately that need reviewing....

My excuses: just graduated + looking for a job, had some lady health problems, got sick + terrible allergies on top of that, relatives visiting from out of town, more guests visiting from out of town that needed some local "experts" (haha me = expert? what a joke)...and a general laziness on my part.

Anyways, I've been the OPPOSITE of "on top of things" with all aspects of my life recently, but I started this blog and need to keep it up! :)


OH and ALSO I need to add that Moody Mommy Reviews is having a huge giveaway this ENTIRE week. It is the Great Makeup Bag Giveaway and you can see her button to the right of my blog.

The schedule of reviews/products to be given away are as follows:
Monday: CoverGirl
Tuesday: CoverGirl
Wednesday: CoverGirl
Thursday: Sally Hansen
Friday: Sally Hansen
Saturday: Sally Hansen
Sunday: Sally Hansen

Details of color and specific product will be posted each day. The first one up so far is CoverGirl's Simply Ageless Foundation.

ONE winner will be picked at the end of the week that will win all of the products! Part of the giveaway involves posting a link at this page.
