Happy Sunday, y'all! Hope everyone had a good weekend. Today I have my Mardi Gras mani to show y'all. </div>

I literally did this in 15 minutes before we ran out the door to head to the city! This is why my middle finger is a little bald in spots--it only has one coat of OPI's Purple With A Purpose. My pointer finger is Essie's Mojito Madness with purple rhinestone accents. My ring finger is two coats of China Glaze's Glitter All The Way (which is a perfect Mardi Gras color!) It has a lot of purple, green, and gold glitter with a little bit of red too. I was really tempted to buy another bottle when they went on sale at Sally's the other day! I mean, what are the chances that there will be any other polishes so close? Also, for only two coats it has really good coverage! And on my pinky is also Purple With A Purpose and I made a Mardi Gras bead using my dotting tool and OPI's The It Color and Mojito Madness. </div>

Mardi Gras 2013 was a success! I am so proud to call New Orleans home. There was a lot of good food, alcohol, company, and beads! There were more of us then the group picture above, but we never got one of us all together. I love when the whole family gets to come into town. </div>

Anyways, what did y'all think of these nails? Do you own Glitter All The Way? And did it ever occur to you that it looked like Mardi Gras in a bottle? </div>

Hey guys! I know that the cupcake nails have been done a million different ways but I've always wanted to try them because they're just so darn cute! So I decided that that's what I'd do for my birthday on February 7th.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you saw my last post, you know that I started with two coats of Essie's Bikini So Teeny. Here are the next steps:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2.) OPI's Gargantuan Green Grape about halfway down nail (no special brush)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yDGgE09dow5goqdwv6DBgNjBgu_1W4qg3m03k3HVI1BwQYTeGWx0JsHO2P2J_1NWcGr6FLnQM3zrlDarJwnZTG2eVVPzpahML_ZhS75uoz_U_EHvrHsCfh59JDAUU8f4y7X96rbNVV8/s1600/IMG_6709.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yDGgE09dow5goqdwv6DBgNjBgu_1W4qg3m03k3HVI1BwQYTeGWx0JsHO2P2J_1NWcGr6FLnQM3zrlDarJwnZTG2eVVPzpahML_ZhS75uoz_U_EHvrHsCfh59JDAUU8f4y7X96rbNVV8/s400/IMG_6709.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3.) Sinful Colors pink striping polish to make little lines on top of the green</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFIuWCuxZ3wQnZ1HKsq4ej6_QTH6IZIAjnMp2fBDYDWi32tQ0kTOxUnXuKLYIeTQA9CecPbDiPMNetjKWfeOdVc5mV688G0Ara6wJL6bHBt1WAuCGmWMuS_bwMdXIqv1HbMwHlqjjwfI/s1600/IMG_6710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFIuWCuxZ3wQnZ1HKsq4ej6_QTH6IZIAjnMp2fBDYDWi32tQ0kTOxUnXuKLYIeTQA9CecPbDiPMNetjKWfeOdVc5mV688G0Ara6wJL6bHBt1WAuCGmWMuS_bwMdXIqv1HbMwHlqjjwfI/s400/IMG_6710.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.) OPI's Alpine Snow to dab 'icing' on top the cupcakes. They basically look like little clouds. (again, no special brush used)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBufhVJW_wMmQBX9zhnQzNNH5OeDGqQ0Rk8k4nqJFS3K3YAsA5NaQ9XiZl0tiBMnOdSsns6eS6UEFadIKWAC-ECjbgOn_8fKz0FgiCWmshsTAzHRe9YESGSBbfDREiZK39im5Z8-tTNo/s1600/IMG_6711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBufhVJW_wMmQBX9zhnQzNNH5OeDGqQ0Rk8k4nqJFS3K3YAsA5NaQ9XiZl0tiBMnOdSsns6eS6UEFadIKWAC-ECjbgOn_8fKz0FgiCWmshsTAzHRe9YESGSBbfDREiZK39im5Z8-tTNo/s400/IMG_6711.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5.) Add a red cherry on top. I used a dotting tool with China Glaze's Red Alert. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
6.) Add sprinkles in your choice of colors with dotting tool. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey y'all! Quick post because I accidentally deleted this one the first time...now I'm annoyed! Haha. Basically, this is the first part to my birthday nails that were a two-day process. This is two coats of Essie's Bikini So Teeny. The formula was a little bit runny but I was able to work with it-and who cares because the finished product is so pretty?! It has a great shimmer that I just wasn't able to capture in any of my pictures. </div>

Hey guys! This is OPI's DS Extravagance. I am in love with this color! I can't remember if I bought it off of amazon.com or if I picked it up in Ulta. There really is no explanation for it. The formula is perfect. The holo is perfect. The color is perfect. This was two coats and it was completely opaque. I believe this is the third Designer Series color I own from OPI. If you don't own any, I must say, they really are worth the little bit of extra money they cost. </div>

Good morning! This is A Butterfly Moment from the OPI Mariah Carey Collection. I originally was not going to buy this polish. I had only picked up two other colors from the collection. But I thought it could be a great neutral. I'm so glad that I ended up purchasing it! Of course, it leans more toward pink then nude but I still think it can work as a neutral. This was two coats, application was not a problem at all and although it looked a little bit frosty in the bottle, it doesn't look that way on the nail. From what I can tell there are also hints of gold in this polish, too. </div>

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is doing well. I have here an OPI color from the Skyfall collection. This one is On Her Majesty's Secret Service. You may have noticed the title to this post...that's right, I said it! This polish absolutely REEKS! I was painting my nails in my dorm room and started smelling what seemed to be a skunk. I started freaking out and badgering my roommate about where the smell could be coming from. I guess I just didn't think a polish could possibly smell that bad! But low and behold...I got a whiff of the polish straight out the bottle and you'd think they captured a skunk inside. I don't know why this is but I did look it up online and saw that other people were saying the same thing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, the color is lovely! The application and everything was great. I only needed two coats, but I feel like if you aren't careful you could end up with a lot of bald spots with this one. </div>

Hey guys! This was my really simple Superbowl mani for this year. I didn't go all out or anything because my Saints didn't make it in! I chose to do pink and brown because I know those colors generally look cute together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used two coats of Teddy Girl by Butter London. I probably could have used a third but I knew they wouldn't dry before I went to bed. I always have trouble working with pastel colors! On my accent finger I used two coats of OPI's Suzi Loves Cowboys as a base for the football design. For the laces I just used a white striper polish. I was keeping it simple, stupid. Haha. This mani was actually more of a hit than I thought it would be. Yay!</div>

Okay so in the next couple of posts I'm going to be doing a little bit of back-tracking so that I can show y'all some of my manicures that y'all have missed since I haven't been blogging. Forgive me if they aren't in chronological order. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These were my nails for New Year's. This is two coats of OPI's Pompeii Purple with accents of Optical Illusion by China Glaze. Basically all I did with Optical Illusion is started with a lot of polish at the tip and then drug some of it about halfway down my nail with the brush. I came back and added more to the tips because I wanted Optical Illusion to build and become opaque the closer it got to the ends of my nails. I really liked how this turned out. </div>

Hello! I didn't think I'd be back so soon, but it turns out that I have nothing going on this Friday night and I thought I'd share my manicure with y'all. I painted these last night and thought they were quite flashy. They would be much prettier in the sun but unfortunately we haven't had much of that lately. The weather has been complete crap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On with the mani:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out with two coats of Fishwife by Butter London. I purchased this color along with a couple others back in September and had never gotten around to swatching it. It is a holographic bluish/green and very pretty! It's not a very heavy holographic, or at least it looks that way to me because I haven't seen them in the sunlight. The formula is wonderful! It's not too runny and it doesn't glob up. There are not streaks to be had, either! I forgot to take pictures of just Fishwife before I started adding to it, so here is the only picture I have where you can see Fishwife by itself. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSz6aZ0ie0LxyODPr2TOM1bM9OToqbRZJIZJNBGGLJNB76ruKwwD5-Vikx7Q76E-cz9tR1jVU4nj42Uoei333N_bAEDGvMeYD0w7ltNlKFFNv-r7G7GyJ08fvv18012hwbIDpj64Zofe4/s1600/Fishwife+Design+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSz6aZ0ie0LxyODPr2TOM1bM9OToqbRZJIZJNBGGLJNB76ruKwwD5-Vikx7Q76E-cz9tR1jVU4nj42Uoei333N_bAEDGvMeYD0w7ltNlKFFNv-r7G7GyJ08fvv18012hwbIDpj64Zofe4/s400/Fishwife+Design+1.JPG" width="273" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt that I would get bored with just Fishwife so I decided to go with a nice little racing stripe right down the middle of my nail in Turned Up Turquoise by China Glaze. I was trying to pick a color that I felt would compliment Fishwife and TUT was the only color I had here at college with me that did the job. Turned Up Turquoise is a neon so it dried really quick and was also matte finish. I did two coats per stripe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if that wasn't enough, I bordered the turquoise stripe with silver glitter stripes. To me, this took away from Fishwife all together, but it was too late to undo anything. Now my nails are just really loud and obnoxious. Haha. Pictures shall we?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as y'all can tell from the pictures, Fishwife and the silver glitter stripes just pretty much blend into each other. All in all this manicure was super simple! After I finished it made me wonder why I don't do this kind of simple design more often. Again, I apologize for not having any pictures of this in the natural light!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So..what do y'all think? Would you guys rock this or is too loud for your liking? Would you have chosen another color for the 'racing stripe'? </div>

I know I haven't blogged since school started, but something happened last week that I just HAVE to tell y'all about! I've recently gotten a twitter, so naturally I followed some of my favorite polish/beauty companies. I noticed that Butter London tweeted about having a competition and the winner would win the Spring 2013 Sweetie Shop Collection. I thought that I might as well give it a shot--afterall, I've been pining over a few of those colors! They asked how we liked to accesorize our manicure and to hashtag our tweet with #butteredUp. I made a quick PicStitch to put things into perspective: <br />

Low and behold, I got a notification on my phone saying that they had mentioned me in their tweet. I knew it just couldn't be! But sure enough, two other girls and I won the whole Sweetie Shop Collection. I was sooo happy! I never win anything! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll have to post whenever they come in the mail! I hope all of my followers are doing well! I miss not being able to blog because of school. One of the RA's in my dorm comes to visit every Thursday so I can do her nails. So I think it's safe to say that I'm still painting nails; for myself and other people! In October I painted nails at my little cousin's "Spa-themed" birthday party. They loved it. There was hardly enough glitter and rhinestones to go around! Haha. And I think that for Spring break I'll be visiting my family in Tennessee. Y'all know what that means...a trip to The Cosmetic Market! Hopefully by then they won't be sold out of OPI's Euro Centrale collection. I NEED to get my hands on those colors! Anyways, that's it for now! I have to get back to school things :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leave me comments! I want to know what y'all have been up to! Have y'all gotten any of the Butter London Sweetie Shop colors? OPI Euro Centrale colors? What is/are your favorite(s) colors? </div>

You guys! I am really SO sad! I know that I haven't blogged since school started, and I seriously miss it and all of you. College has just taken such a toll on me! My nails are still there, I'm still buying polish, and I still paint them-but not nearly as much as I was able to before. Anyways, I just wanted to give y'all an update to let y'all know that I haven't forgotten about my blog! I will be back! Hopefully soon! </div>

I just had to post this little bonus pic. I have already gotten so much crap about it on facebook from my friends, so I thought I would share it with y'all. This was me and my brother when I was about to leave home to move in at college...can you say BABY?! Haha. </div>

I don't feel right to post about my OPI Germany Collection haul just yet because I don't have all of the pictures I would like and what not. So I'll hold off on that for now. Instead, I'm posting about a retired OPI color from the 2007 Australian Collection. (At least I think that's the right year..I tried doing some good blogger research.) The color is called Didgeridoo Your Nails? I don't think I ever would have known about this color if it wasn't for the OPI App that I have on my iPhone. It is a REALLY awesome app. in the fact that it has a tab that lists the entire collection of OPI! And I mean EVERY color they've ever released. And listed next to the name is whether it's retired or not. So, I scrolled down the list and wrote down every single retired color so that I could later google some and see if I could still purchase them. I've been able to purchase several retired colors from amazon.com-one of them being Didgeridoo Your Nails? It is a really pretty pink shimmer and sometimes looks like it has sort of yellow shimmery undertone. Y'all-I'm so bad at describing polish! Haha. My mom is laughing at me just trying to figure out how to explain the color of this one. So don't hold me to my word! Plus, you'll probably look at the pictures and be like "This girl does not know what she is talking about." Haha. The formula was great and I didn't have any problems with it. If anything, it was a little runny, so I just put less polish on the brush than I normally did. It covered fine in two coats, but when I woke up this morning I put on a third just because I wanted to see how deep I could get the color. Here is how it looks:<br />

So I know that all of these pictures in different lights make this polish look completely different in every aspect. I'm going to try to start posting just pictures of the polish outside in natural light. I feel like the color is way more accurate then. </div>

Have you ever heard of this polish? How many retired OPI colors do you own? What is your favorite retired color? Let me know!</div>

I've been busy with last minute college-prep stuff. Today I have a nail fail for you guys. Haha. But instead of calling it a complete fail, I just decided to call them 'abstract'. What I was trying to accomplish by dragging a straight pin through my nails, didn't really come out as planned. I used the following colors:<br />

I used In My Back Pocket as a base. After I applied two coats, and the top coat was still fresh, I dropped drops of the three blue hues. I then tried to make a design by dragging a straight pin through the colors. THIS is what happened:<br />

Now, if you're an optimist, you will find SOMETHING to like about this manicure. And if you're pessimistic (often like myself), you'll say "what in the world..." Haha. I've seen some really cool pin dragging type of nail art. I just can't seem to tackle it. <br />
<br />
Anyways, two days ago I got to pick up seven out of the twelve colors from the Germany Collection by OPI! I was soo excited! So hopefully I'll have that haul post for you guys tomorrow!<br />
<br />
<strong>Let me know what you think about this manicure!! Be honest, was it a fail? I won't be offended-because that's what I think it was! Have you tried any type of pin-dragging art?</strong><br />

The weather around here has got me feeling a little bit dreary. So I thought grey was an appropriate color to wear. I started out with two coats of OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls, which is a very light grey. <br />
<br />

I didn't bother taking any other pictures because I knew I would be sponging on top of this. I then picked up OPI's French Quarter for Your Thoughts which is a dingy dark grey. Sometimes it looks like it has green undertones. I blotted that on with my sponge next. And after that I used Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees for the tips. I didn't want to go straight up black on the tips because I thought it would be too drastic of a transition. And I wanted to stick with the more grey side of things. I topped it all off with OPI's Pirouette My Whistle-a nice sheer glitter (that's the added oomph I talked about in the title of this post).

<div style="text-align: center;">
4. All eighteen years of my existence, I have lived in Southern Louisiana. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Not Too Polished's Questions for Me</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. What is your favorite color combination and/or graphic pattern?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I don't really have a favorite color combo. I generally just like anything bright. But my favorite 'pattern' per say is just polka dots! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. What is your biggest, guiltiest pleasure?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-It's hard to admit, but I LOVE The Sims 2. I could play for hours. I don't know why I like it so much, because it's not like I play any other type of video games. Just The Sims 2. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. If you could be any mythical creature, what would it be and why?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I actually had to google a list of mythical creatures to be able to answer this because I'm not really into this kind of stuff. But I saw Medusa on the list! And my mom used to call me that when I was having wild hair days. Haha. But turning men into stone with just a gaze doesn't sound half bad. Haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. What (or who!) got you into blogging?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Well, I got into such a habit of googling polishes before I bought them, and I would click on all of these links that took me to such awesome blogs with such good inspiration. I would get caught up just clicking 'older posts' because I loved reading people's feedback. And I thought to myself "I could do this." And here I am today :) The one blog in particular that I remember going back to time after time was <a href="http://www.lovelyinlacquer.com/">Lovely In Lacquer.</a> Abby really knows her stuff! I loved reading her reviews and looking at her pictures. I couldn't answer this question without giving her some credit for my start in the world of blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Do you have any huge "geek" franchises? (As in: my top 5 from the 11
things about me.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Nope, I don't think so!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. What are your fave indie/mainstream polish brands?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I love OPI and China Glaze. OPI's brush is really what puts it at the top of the list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. What is your favorite candy?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I love chocolate covered cookie dough. Which is really, really horrible for you and I would not suggest it because you'll get addicted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. What is your favorite type of polish? (ex. crackle, magnetic, holo,
matte glitter, etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Holo is always gorgeous. I would say glitter except it is such a PITA to remove. Hehe. I am SO over the crackle. And I haven't tried magnetic yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. Where is your "happy place"? Either physical or mental.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-My happy place would be physical. And that is physically anywhere where my family is. I'm very family oriented and I don't know what I would do without all of relatives!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Which holiday do you most look forward to, and why?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Christmas! And no..it's not because of the presents! Which by the way triggered something I want to say-once I started working and making my own money, I seriously LOVE giving gifts. When I was little I couldn't relate. It was all about get, get, get. But now some of my favorite times are watching my relatives open what I got them. But the main reason I love Christmas is because it normally invovles big family get-togethers, cold weather, hot chocolate, good food, Christmas lights, and everything else that is merry :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11. What other hobbies do you have, other than polish?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Online shopping(terrible habit), cooking, playing with my dog, listening to music, reading, and collecting anything with an owl printed on it. I've also come to like exercising. And by no means am I saying I love to workout, or I do it all the time or anything (even though I should). It's more like this: It takes me a while to decide whether or not I even want to exercise that particular day. Then I have to decide what time of day. Next, re-question myself on whether I really feel like exercising. Generally, the answer is no, I don't FEEL like exercising but I HAVE to make myself do it. Then I have to read some inspiring workout quotes off of Pinterest. Next I get in my workout gear, including my iPhone music playlist, headphones, and water bottle. And THEN I start exercising. It's not until it's all said and done with that I'm like "Hmm..that wasn't that bad after all. I feel much better about myself now." Sorry about that rant!!</div>

So..do y'all ever wear a polish or make a great polish combo, and whenever you look at the color on your nails it just makes you feel good? Well that's what this post is about today! I didn't realize that the polish combo I was planning to put on was going to distract me so much during the day...but it has managed to! I started with a base of two coats of China Glaze's Surfin' for Boys which I just purchased at Ulta. It applied like a dream! I love the formulas on all of the 2012 Summer Neons by China Glaze. Anyways...after I applied SFB, I wandered over to my polish racks to search for something I could enhance the manicure with. I didn't really feel like doing any sort of design, so I resorted back to the good ole' 'glitter on top' mani. I picked up my most recent polish purchase from F21-a multi colored CHUNKY glitter. I say CHUNKY because these babies are huge! That's why I love them. So much of the color just pops on your nails. As with most glitter polishes I had to put in a little extra work to get the chunks of glitter to lay where I wanted them to..but it all worked out. I topped it off with my top coat and some polish drops and they were good to go. Pictures?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, if you guys didn't know, I was out of town for the past several days. And while I was out of town...I was able to shop at an Ulta for the very first time! Lucky me! It is the second nearest Ulta to me (at about one hour away), the closest Ulta to me is about forty-five minutes away. Unfortunately I was never able to get to either of these Ulta's until now! It was our last stop during our full day of errands so I had to browse/shop like lightening. I didn't even get to look at anything else in the store. NOTHING! Not even the normal, drugstore-type polish aisle they have. I darted back to the OPI section. I was almost convulsing at all the OPI, China Glaze, Essie, and Zoya. YES, ZOYA, which I've never been able to see or touch in person until it comes in the mail..when I order it..online! So that was a huge surprise for me! I snagged up a few China Glaze from the Summer Neons 2012 collection that I had wanted to pick up at Sally's but they didn't have. There weren't any On Safari displays, which I was kind of disappointed about. However, hiding on the bottom shelf was a box of mixed up China Glaze polishes-where I found Smoke and Ashes. And then I browsed the OPI's for the longest time. There were several Spiderman displays, and I think I have two from the collection, but I picked up My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Which, from seeing pictures of the collection, I thought was just a white. And before I saw this polish in person, thought to myself, "why do you need another plain ole' white?" Well..let me tell you, this was not just a plain ole' white. This was a very interesting grey-white. I love it! And I will do a comparison post soon. I saw that there was a Zoya Beach & Surf display, but I previously ordered all of the ones I wanted online. But on the shelf I found Zoya's Robyn, which has been on my wishlist for quite some time now. I couldn't pass it up! Underneath all of the Zoya colors was several different bottles of Zoya's Remove +! I'd also been wanting to try this out, but could never bring myself to order the big flipper online. So for like four bucks I bought a perfect travel size bottle...enough for me to test it and see if I like it. Lastly I ended up in front of the clearance section. The first thing I picked up was a horrible China Glaze color that looked like a mix between puke and baby poop-of course I had to have it! I knew I didn't have anything like it in my collection, and that on the right skin tone, it might look fabulous! Plus, the fact that it was marked down was a plus. (The color is Trendsetter, by the way.) I also found a nice deep fall/winter color by OPI called William Tell Me About OPI. With fall approaching and a clearance sticker on the bottle, I figured why not? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for such a long story of how I obtained the following haul...are you ready for the pictures now? Again, sorry for the bad lighting-making none of the bottle colors accurate!</div>

Oh, and the following day we stopped in at Target and I hurriedly (that is a word, I swear) looked over the clearance section. I decided on a Nicole by OPI called Rich in Spirit. It's a nice silvery blue metallic. And the fact that it was marked down about four bucks didn't hurt either! </div>

Hey guys! I've been seeing this design on Pinterest for quite some time now and actually found a step-by-step chart on how to make it happen! It is really simple and doesn't require any seperate brushes or tools. The only thing I didn't like about my design is that the color that looks red, was actually pink. I guess that's my fault for not realizing that pink was going to show up red on the lime green polish...which is China Glaze's I'm With The Lifeguard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this design you use three colors total. A base color, and two additional colors. This polish chart is from <a href="http://www.lucysstash.com/">Lucy's Stash</a>. </div>

It's an awesome little step-by-step. And as you can see, pretty simple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I added on to my 'I'm With The Lifeguard' manicure after a couple days. I used China Glaze's Rose Among Thorns and Flying Dragon as my additional colors. And voila! </div>

So I know I said I would blog while I was away but I didn't really hold up that end of my deal! Haha. I'm still out of town but have a little break to show you one of my lastest FAVORITE manicures! After finally buying the right kind of sponges for 'sponging', I was able to get the correct result. I basically just sponged over my base of Essie's Boxer Shorts. I didn't exactly want the colors to blend smoothly into each other, but I still wanted colors in sort of the same family. I went with purple/blue/green. The colors I used were Zoya's Wednesday, OPI's Gargantuan Green Grape, and OPI's Need Sunglasses. As you will be able to tell in the pictures, or rather, you won't be able to tell in the pictures, Gargantuan Green Grape blended too much into Wednesday. And also, Need Sunglasses turned green on top of Wednesday. Which turned out better than I thought it would! <br />

In the last three pictures, you may be able to tell that my thumb & ring finger look a bit more sparkly than my other fingers. That's because I sponged over the whole nail with Milani's blue holo polish named Cyberspace. I actually really liked it! I think it added more depth. </div>

Quick post tonight. I'm packing to go out of town for a few days. I still plan on posting though while out of town. <br />
<br />
Tonight I have Boxer Shorts from Essie's new Yoga collection. (I'm not exactly sure what the collection is called, but I don't have time to look it up right now.) I would definitely call this a periwinkle. The formula is great and my nails were covered in just two coats. The color is not extremely accurate in my pictures, and you may see it different on your computer screen, too. So just trust me when I say it is a periwinkle. Haha. It may look either more purple, or more blue, but it's pretty much a great mix of both. <br />

I was really interested in trying to 'tie-dye' my nails. I know how to do water marbling, but I saw many of you doing a 'drag' method. This is when you put the different colors of polish in a row on your nail and then start at the base color and drag the polish into one another using a toothpick, needle, etc. This LOOKED easier, but for me it wasn't all that easy. However, I didn't use a toothpick or needle. I used the end of some kind of nail tool-which was probably too thick and the main reason why the design didn't come out exactly how I wanted it. I WILL be trying this again though! <br />
<br />
I grabbed four different color polishes from my rack. I didn't want the typical rainbow tie-dye, so I went with more of a pastel-y type. I used (from L to R) Zoya's Shelby, Wednesday, and Arizona and Essie's Boxer Shorts. <br />
<br />

So what I did was paint (really quickly) vertical stripes of these four colors right next to each other. Also, you have to leave the coats kind of thick or else the polish won't drag nicely into each other. I then started from one of the colors on the end and with my tool, drug lines going different directions. Sorry if I'm confusing anyone-it's really difficult to explain! My problem is that I don't have a very light hand so I was actually digging the polish off of my nail instead of blending the colors together. Haha. I also learned that I probably should have done a base coat of white or another color. </div>

Hey guys! Sorry for such a late post. I ran errands all day with my mom and aunt and then watched the Olympics until they ended at 11. But I really wanted to show y'all what I got at Sally's a couple days ago. Actually, I only ended up getting ONE polish that I wanted when I went in. I had several others I was looking for but had no luck finding. It's really my fault because I shouldn't have waited so long after the Summer Neons and On Safari collections came out. However, I'm still going to check at a couple other Sally's. I ended up with four polishes, some sponges, and a set of nail art brushes. </div>

Next, I picked up a two pack of sponges because I know that 'sponging' is all the rage lately! I've BEEN wanting to try it out but didn't know what kind of sponge to use. Well...unfortunately these aren't the ones! They were way too hard and I found they had too much texture on them. They were just picking up my first layer of polish and not leaving any of the new color. </div>

The first polish I picked up was I'm With the Lifeguard from the 2012 Summer Neons Collection. It was the last one there so I snagged it as soon as I spotted it! It's a gorgeous pearlescent neon green! I've never seen anything like it!</div>

Next my mom spotted a color called Fairy Dust. I don't know HOW I haven't seen this before, but it made me realize I need to search harder when I'm hoovering over the China Glaze display next time! It is simply a holographic glitter polish. There is no base color to it, so it's more like a top coat. LOVE it!</div>

Hey my people! Today I have a nude polish to show y'all by OPI. I was actually really happy to score this polish on clearance at The Cosmetic Market. It is from the OPI Classics Collection. I think out of all the other 'nudes' I've tried, this one goes best with my skin tone. I did this right before bed and I wanted it to dry properly before I ruined it, so I only painted two coats before going to bed and when I woke up the next morning I did a third coat. </div>

Sorry that I only got one picture with three coats. I'll have to do better next time! What do you guys think about this 'nude' color with my skin tone? I'm calling it a nude because I am SO light. But someone with darker skin may not call this a nude, but rather a light pink or something. What is </div>

your favorite nude color? Are you a fan of nude colors in general..or would you rather something bright and bold?</div>

I'm posting something quick because I feel guilty that I didn't post yesterday. And although I have my next few posts planned, time has just slipped away from me! On Tuesday I finished reading the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I decided to paint my nails using some of the China Glaze Hunger Games polishes. They were nice and orange! I started with a base of OPI's A Roll In The Hague. On my accent fingers I painted China Glaze's Riveting. And on top of ARITH I painted a cost of China Glaze's Luxe and Lush. <br />
<br />
Let me know what you think! What's your favorite China Glaze color from the Hunger Games collection? Did you like the actual Hunger Games trilogy? <br />
<br />
XOXO<br />
