I'm Done

Just a quick post to say I won't be adding anything else to this blog.  Not anytime in the near future anyway.  I just don't have the time or energy I used to and it seems no one is reading it anyway.  So thank you to anyone who has read it and/or commented but this now just seems to add to my stress.  I am still doing my nails,  when I have time and will still be posting to Instagram,  but not often.  Maybe once a week. It's all I can do.  I will leave all my post up so maybe someone will read them and get some use out of them. Thanks. 

OPI 2014 Coca-Cola Collection

Today I have for you the nine piece Coca-Cola Collection from OPI. These have been out for several months now but I just now had the chance to purchase them and wanted to share them with you. These polishes were perfection. The formulas were great and dry time was even pretty fantastic. I love this collection so much because of the range of "not-so-common" colors, and they did a great job at matching colors to the products they represent. On to the swatches....

You're So Vain-illa

Two coats (but should have used three)

Represents Vanilla Coke

Sorry I'm Fizzy Today

Orange You Fantastic

A Grape Affair

Get Cherried Away

My favorites of this collection are A Grape Affair, Green On The Runway and Today I Accomplished Zero. I love these three the most because of their uniqueness. I also was very impressed with You're So Vain-illa. You could probably get away with two coats but I have very white tips so Its usually three coats of anything for me. I hope these help you in your decision on whether or not to buy them. Im very happy I decided to get the whole collection, I think you will be too.

Thanks for reading and Happy Polishing!

Sephora X Polishes

A couple of weeks ago I went to a BIg Lots store that I hadn't been to in a while to check out their polishes. I was kinda disappointed in the amount they had until I saw these little gems. Not to be confused with the Sephora Formula X polishes, but I think these are fantastic! The formula was perfect, dry time was normal, and these pics all show two coats.

Privileged

Deranged

Cold Hearted

Ice Princess

Psycho

I love the names on these, so funny! I normally don't find anything at my Big Lots but this time I lucked out. Not sure if these can be found anywhere else, I'm sure they are all older polishes but, I love them all!

Thanks for reading and Happy Polishing!

October 2014 Favorites

October has been a very busy month for me! I haven't been doing my nails as much as I'd like but I'm hoping things are calming down now. These are my four favorites from the month. I'm finally getting the hang of water marbling so I have practiced that quite a bit lately. Also figured out how to make water marble decals. If anyone would like to see a tutorial on that, let me know in the comments below.

Thanks for reading!

Wet N Wild 2014 Fall Mattes Collection Polishes

I finally got my hands on the 2014 Fall Matte polishes from Wet N Wild! These babies have been soo hard to collect! I found the display in a Walgreens 45 minutes from my house but it only had three of the colors left on it, so the search was on. I bought two more of the colors from Heather (@heathernking) on Instagram, who actually helped me complete another collection of Wet n Wild Megalasts. Thanks girl! Then I was down to one, the purple. Everyone I knew was on the lookout for me. Then my sister, Addrienne, sent me a text saying she found it. I literally squealed! They were finally all mine! Let me take just a minute to say that Wet N Wild Megalast polishes are my favorite out of all 600 I own. The formulas are consistently perfect, they have the wide brushes which work great on my nails and they only cost $1.99!Okay, enough said. On to the polishes.....

 Rouge 66

Two coats, no topcoat

 Distressed To Impress

Two coats, no topcoat

 Careful, It's Vine-tage

Two coats, no topcoat

 LAC-My Mani?

Three coats, no topcoat

 So Berry On Trend

Two coats, no topcoat

Echo Dark

Two coats, no topcoat

I don't think I need to say it but.....I am so in love with these polishes. Aside from the cream one, all these were easily opaque with two coats. Drying time was great. Although not really true matte finishes, they are more of a satin finish. This didn't really bother me as they more than make up for it in beauty. If you are lucky enough to find this collection, or any of it at all, you won't regret buying it. I also want to add, I wore these for at least a day each and had no staining at all when I removed them.

Thank you so much for reading this all the way through! Be sure to sign up to get email notifications for new posts. I am really going to try to do at least two posts a week.

I'm Still Here....

This has been a crazy two weeks for me.  I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.  I started a new job two weeks ago and in still in training.  It takes alot out of me mentally and physically so I haven't been doing my nails nearly as much as I'd like to. That's probably not gonna change anytime soon so I will be limiting my posts to two a week.  I do still posts my manis on my Instagram page so be sure to check out my creations and nonsense there as well.  I also have not had WiFi at home for a few months and it's almost impossible to do blog posts on a phone but,  we are getting Internet back by this weekend so it'll be alot easier to get online and upload pics,  etc.  Thank you to those that are still around.  I just finished doing swatches of the new Wet n Wild Mattes collection so that will be my very next post. Alot of gorgeousness going on so stay tuned!
