Frosted Evergreen

Yesterday I painted my nails... and it was cloudy... and today its raining. So darn it I'm just going to post my cloudy pics of this Mani. Rawr!

I have here China Glaze- Holly Jolly as a base. Sponged over that I used China Glaze- Four Leaf Clover and then Sponged over that, China Glaze- Frosty and Sponged on top of that a Snowman polish that is red glitter in a clear base. Wow was that alot to type, or a mouthful if you were to read it out loud.

Something awesome I stumbled upon while bored and reading a random blog (sorry guys I go on sprees where I read like 5-6 blogs from first post to end and cant remember who posted what), use chap stick to keep the extra polish off your cuticle's and skin. I tried it for this Mani and have to say it works like a charm. So much easier than tape or trying to brush on petroleum jelly. Just pop open a chap stick and rub it around your nail. All I had to do after three layers of sponging colors on was wash my hands in warm water. All of that extra polish came off without a single problem. Let me just say I was very impressed at how simple this method was.

So I love and hate this Mani to be honest. It looks like snow covered trees with tinsel on them to me at times, but others it looks like a complete mess. What are your thoughts?

Well happy polishing... My first real day of class time was today (last week was just orientation) and I already have homework. Yeesh! Don't want to get behind so I am going to get to work on it. Until next time.

Its Hello Kitty!

Thanksgiving was pretty boring for me... and the food wasn't all that great. I am used to my huge family gatherings with tons of great food. The affair I went to was bland, quick and then over before I felt like I had the chance to blink.

So during my boredom of waiting for said bland food to even be done, I painted my nails. I had brought my nail kit with me like I do every year. No one else wanted their nails done so I only did myself. Made me miss my sisters all the more.

This is OPI- DS Extravagance with Konad Pink stamped over. Faux-nad Hello kitty plate was used for the ring fingers and some plate I don't remember was used for the thumbs.

Hope you all are recovering from your black Friday escapades. I myself did not participate.

Happy Polishing!

Cupcakes on a rainy day

Yesterday it was pissing down rain pretty much all day long. I even had to stand in it for over an hour while working on my car. Not my idea of fun.. my poor curly hair turned into a huge puff ball Afro by the end of the day. Just eww. To cheer myself up and redeem my chipped and two peeling nails, I gave myself a Mani. I had been intending to do so all weekend, but alas life got in the way.

For this I used Milani- Hi Res and Bundle Monster plate BM14. Konad polish was used for the stamping but I honestly have no idea what the name of the polish is. It is a small sample bottle of blue that came with my Coraline set.

If you haven't already don't forget to send in your Celebration Mani's.Info can be found HERE. You still have plenty of time to be creative. And no need to feel like you couldn't possibly win because voting isn't going to be your typical affair. So please, even if you just do something simple, give it a try. You never know what could happen!

Ok time to finish getting ready for my first day of school. I have butterflies from hell right now. Gah. And in case you are wondering, I am starting an advance Esthetics's course.

Happy Polishing Loves!
