Happy Thanksgiving!!

Here is some Pie in your eye!!! ;-) J/K But I did try to re-make these awesome nails I found... Mmmm Mmmmm Cherry Pie!!!

I used Nicole by OPI, Justin Bieber OMB & Zoya Shay to create the look- I also went "Louboutin" Style and painted red underneath my tips.. Which btw, are a new shape!! Whatcha think- diggin' the new or likin the old??? Pin It

It's getting to be that time of the year!

I saw these cute snowflakes on the Bornprettystore website and had to try them out!! So adorable and a great addition to any winter manicure! A round container costs $4.39 for qty of 1.

I tried a couple different looks... Which do you like best?! All I did to apply the flake glitters was to grab a toothpick with a big of clear polish and press them down as best I could and so that the edges wouldn't come up, I went over them with a topcoat. Whala!

Cloudy w/ a Chance of...

 

Hi All!  Been super busy lately!  (Aren't we all).  Dealing with Lots of Stuff that seems never ending!!!

But anyway.....

Here is a cloud look I've been wanting to try forever.... It came out so-so & that's because the white polish I used was actually a Kiss Art Stripper & it was so thin and globby but I had no other choice- I couldn't get my Milani White open :(  So it came out less than perfect... It should've been 3 easy brush strokes to create the roundness effect but it took lots of effort instead....

Since the white polish was gloppy.. it made the application of the other polish- Layla Velvet Groove worse... ugh!  But you get the idea/effect!  Unfortunately it's been nothing but CLOUDS and rain so I couldn't get a great after outside.  #Fitting.

Hope everyone has a great long, nice, and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Til Next Time! -T

365 Days Of Color: Summer Dream

So last week was really crazy- got of personal goings ons!  Sorry for being a bit MIA.

Anyway- I have a beautiful polish to show you from Sanaz of 365 Days of Color.

I contacted her to order Summer Dream and she sent it out the same day I paid, and I received it in 2 days!!!  That's some great customer service right there :-)  I'm a happy customer!

Summer Dream's ( The name of this polish is so fitting) formula was nice and thin and more manageable than others I've tried... I applied 2 coats of this gorgeous milky blue color with multi colored hex glitter and some lines..  I topped it with one coat of Gelous & one of Seche Vite.

There are more photos of it on her facebook... along with other polishes which are available at bigcartel.

Lacquistry: A Friggin Circus

I started out with just Black on my nails...

Then I added some excitement with Lacquistry's: A Friggin Circus

Indoor: Direct Lighting (Softens It)

The polish is multi colored glitter in a PINK base.... which if you see them up close, make my black look brown!

Again the formula was thick (so polish thinner is a good thing).  When I do this look again, I will probably place the glitter individually- more time consuming but Hey!  

Overall, it's really pretty & definitely reminds me of Circus Lights!

Purchase Info:
I bought this one from Jena's Etsy shop... Lacquistry (linked above)
However, I think she is taking on custom orders only right now... please see her facebook for more information.

CTD... La La LA La!!

I am loving my current mani!!! 

Check this out!  I won a bottle of Essie: Barefoot In Blue from DailyMakeover.com.  If you didn't know... This is a limited edition polish for TOMS, encouraging people to go without shoes April 10th (obviously this passed)!  

 Why?  To spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life...Millions of children live without proper footwear, exposing them to injury and disease every day. 

I love this- I really do- but I will never walk barefoot on anything other than grass (IF I do!)... reason being is I've been barefoot before in a park b/c my shoes were bothering me & well the rest wasn't too pretty after that- hello,  foot doctors & liquid nitrogen!!!  Ugh I digress.... So this is why I said MANI not PEDI and the fact that I just received it now-LOL!  And I have Essie Navigate Her on my TOES!  Triple Wammie!

 This Blue is such a gorgeous baby blue!!!  As soon as I got it- I had to put it on!

And I finally got my Lynderella, Connect The Dots so I threw it on top & what a combo!!!

Gorgeous or what?!?!!!  I know there is a dupe for this one, but I think it was worth the wait :)

Nail Art Challenge: Disney Villains

Over at Temptalia.com there was a post about submitting an entry for nail art depicting a Disney Villain.  I had already done The Queen of Hearts so I decided to do another one of my favorites!

I used these pics as my "inspiration"...

"The Little Mermaid"

 w/ Flotsam & Jetsam

Here are my rough sketches out on paper first (top right is Ursula as Vanessa in her wedding gown/hair wet)

 

I submitted my entry on Tues the 24th... not sure when or if they will post on her site, I will let you guys know!  Not sure if I should even post here but I read nothing that said I couldn't... so..... without further ado:

 The souls in her lair & bubbles

I didn't write down what colors I used so I might have to add/fix this later but from memory:

Base color: OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight

Zoya Kendall, Zoya Dove, Zoya ?

Barielle Pearly White, Barielle Green Opal

Mira ?

Avon ?

Sally Hansen Insta Dry- Grape Going!

Kiss stripers: Black & White & Dotting Tool

1.  I will try to list polishes used more on pics

Quick NOTD

Hey Everyone!  Sorry it's been awhile... had family visit & have been working on re-doing the downstairs flooring & finishing up a guest bedroom!!  I also took part in the fun glamour shoot over the weekend & for that I just had black on my nails... but after it was over, I decided to do some accent nails with Voodoo Doll by Amy from NailVenturous Lacquers!

 I want to apply this again with no base and take pics outside!!!

Below: Inside photo (seems like everytime I want to take pics it's like that- I should make a photo box!)

 Below:

Tuesday night I had some Girl Time Fun and painted Samantha's Nails:

Her favorite color is Green!

Once again I didn't use tape, I just free handed the "V"s and added the light green rhinestones.. I love how it came out!!

Til next time :)

Harlow & Co. Misfits

Today I have for you a pretty polish and review!!

I had to have this polish not only for the cool name but because it looked like an awesome grey/black glitter with a hint of a rainbow?...

Harlow And Co. Misfits

But we’re the Misfits, our songs are better
We are the Misfits, the Misfits
And we’re gonna get her

Ahem, I digress...

 

 It comes in a .5oz round or square bottle and retails for $10.  The website description says:

 "Charcoal grey glittery goodness, splashes of silver and holographic glitter, sprinkled with black hexograms"

 It's been overcast so the left and top right are inside photos with lighting on them and the bottom right is outside for a sec hoping the sun would show up!!  Again, I don't have the greatest of cameras but it is very pretty/sparkly especially in the sun and at times (like the photo above) you can see a bit of red, blue, green reflecting back...but that's only in sun (and actual bottle)..

Application wasn't the easiest.  It's on the thick side... but if you start with thin layers, you'll be fine!!  Very happy with this *jem* of a misfit!

And Thank you all for entering my contest.  I will be announcing the winner tomorrow morning bright & early.

I loved reading all the responses & the requests for more hauls and tutorials.. so stay tuned for more of that in the near future!

Thanks again xox,

Hi Everyone...

Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend! :)

Here is what I wore & am still wearing....

I used:

Milani White

Sally girl Orange

Nicki Minaj: Did it on 'em, Fly, & Pink Friday

Jesse's girl: Confetti (?)

 I got this idea from: AndreasChoice:

I used hole reinforcers but she used circle bandaids which might stick better?  I had trouble with the circles lifting off my nails...  anyone ever try the bandaids??

Onto the title of this post....

My husband writes a note to me on my coffee cup each morning... this was today's!  LOL!!

"Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, No Nail Polish in April, Oh what shall you do!!!!?  Buy some, Buy some, Buy some online and then take some pics in the bright Sunshine!!!!"

We laughed and then he's like- that doesn't really mean.. "Buy some" LMAO!!!!!!

Hoping to paint the digits tonight and have a fresh post in the AM!  

Have a great Day!! :)

PS.  Don't forget to enter my giveaway!!!!!!  Ends soon!!!

Glitter Giveaway!!!!

Hi Everyone!!

This will be my very first giveaway... Hope you win!! ;-)

Onto the prizes....

I just received my Girly Bits order, so I'm giving away a mini bottle of Hippity Hop!!  If you missed out on this... here is your chance to win one! 

Description: Multi colored pastel and holo & tiny purple glitter,  in a translucent sparkling purple base. 

It's like little holo Easter eggs.

I also have for one lucky winner a bottle of Barielle's Starchild and this one is a stunner!  It is a "dupe" for NCLA Hollywood Hits Hot Number and in my opinion, a little prettier for half the cost!  Just FYI.

Description: A mix of different sized Hex Silver holo glitters in a clear base.

(CLICK PICS TO SEE BIGGER)

(Sorry bunny not included)

The contest will run for a week (+ a bit cause this post is late) and end 4/12/12.  I will announce who won, Fri the 13th!

Influenster Love Voxbox Review

In the beginning of March, Influenster.com sent me box with different products inside to review...

The basis of the website is to fill out surveys & unlock badges according to your likes and then they pick certain people to send a box to that month.  

It's always cool to get stuff in the mail especially when it's Free!

I really loved what I got!!!

First up...

 This Razor!  It's amazing!!!  5 blades and moisture bars so NO Shaving cream is needed!!!  And it smells SOOO Good!!!  It left my legs nice and moisturized too!!  I'm a cheap throw away razor girl- but I'd definitely be interested in purchasing more blade replacements!  Hopefully they come that way?

 Next is...

Kiss Nail Art Stickers.... Very cool that a nail product was in the box!!  However, My nails are sooo tiny/narrow these don't work well on me- I have tried them before and I'm not a fan- but I know others are.  I find it's also way quicker for me to Paint my nails!

  

Next is...

Truvia!  Cool, but I don't really use Sugar... I don't add to my foods or bake too much.  Actually I tried it out when I had hiccups to stop them and it worked just as well as the regular stuff!!  LOL.

(yep- a tiny spoon full of sugar stops my hiccups, only thing that works)

 

Moving on....

Chocolate!!!  Need I say more.  This did not last long!  Oh and they give you a $1 off coupon for more as well!  ENABLERS

I saved the best for last....

I love tea!  Especially green tea... I was buying Harney & Sons Tropical Green Tea with Pineapple and while it smelled awesome, the taste was that of the same Green Tea (boring)..

This brand however, WOW!  The smell, the taste is true to the descriptions!

I am all out! :( :( :(  The only 2 I have left are the Licorice - I hate licorice!  Definitely don't wanna drink it!

I am going to order these- Blueberry being my fave <3

Haha tis me!!!  Smelling the blueberry!

Well hope you all enjoyed a non nail polish review & check out the site for the chance for some goodies!!

Until next time xox
