On Wednesdays...

I went with what I THOUGHT was a pink today...When I got to work and saw it in the light, I think it was more orange...Today I wore Orly "Terracotta".  It went on like a dream and I ALMOST got away with one coat.  I did two because of VNL.  I finished with a top of Seche Vite. 

HUGE Give-a-Way!

Remember to go to Kayla's Blog for her HUGE 500 follower Give-A-Way!!!!

Mommas Boy Monday!

Ok, today I have 2 mani's to show you!  I have Momma's boy Monday and a extra Sunday mani.  I wore Apple but then since it was nice out I switched to ChG "LOL" and wore that while we had some sun, FINALLY!  This went on rather streaky but it's totally worth it to be able to see the holo-ness!  I did a "holo sandwich", base coat, LOL, top coat, LOL, top coat, and finally another LOL layer. 

Monday I went to my trusty dog Lucky aka Mommas Boy to pick my color.  He ended going with Essie "Dive Bar" and SH "Blue Away"...he took the jelly bean from both of them and I didn't see which one he went with so I asked hubby to narrow it down, and he picked the SH.  This InstaDry applied AMAZING and I ALMOST got away with one coat...BEAUTIFUL!  Topped with SV of course!  I applied a layer of ELF "Twinkle" too...



I just did my Tuesday nails tonight which I'll post tomorrow, hoping to get SUN pictures!!!  It's awfully pretty and if there IS sun tomorrow, I have a feeling I'll be staring at them when I'm driving lol

Off to bed because OT makes me sleepy!

Sophia Sunday!

After last weeks "Mommas Boy Monday" I decided it was only fair to give Sophie a day of her own as well.  Sophia is a Daddys Girl but she did help pick out Mommas nail polish after some persuasion with Jelly Beans lol.  She picked Zoya "Apple" which is an untried!  This is Sophie Mo!

I used 3 coats of Apple after a base of SH Clear.  The polish went on amazing just like all my other Zoyas.  The shimmer in this polish is awesome and I'm glad I got this polish during the BOGO sale Zoya had. 

Excuse my horrible looking cuticles this was before I realized I was a bit sloppy with the Seche Vite lol.

The last thing I have to show you is my mini haul from yesterday.  Hubby and I were going to get groceries and he pulled into Sallys parking lot...I saw him put the 15% off coupon in my purse earlier and thought "hmm..." lol.  Sallys is doing their B2G1 free sale right now so I don't think I did that much damage!  I got ChG "In the Lime Light", "Lemon Fizz" and then Orly "Terracotta".  I also picked up a 32 oz remover as well.  We then went into Target and got SH "Blue Away", thanks to Chloe's review of it lol.  Later last night I realized we were almost out of TP so I ran to Walmart...and got NOPI "Me + Blue" thanks to hubbys...whining?  hubbys trickery?  lol  He made me do it!  I swear!  No, really, you can ask him lol

Also, hubby made a comment to me about a blog that he saw that the girl was trying to NOT go over 30 polishes in a month because there are 30 days in that month...his goal is TO go over 30 in a month! lol  I'm at 20 polishes this month alone and it's only the 10th!  Man...It's all his fault!  :)

Give-a-ways and manis!

Ok, so first up is A Polished Life's give-a-way!  Check out what you could win!  Holy Cow!  First of all, one of my biggest lemmings, but much more!

Now for manis!  First up was yesterdays mani, which was Milani Neon "Pink Rocks" with OPI BS over it.  The Neon applied awesome but this was 3 coats but I probably could have done 4 or 5.  VNL was obvious to me.  I ended up putting BS on all my nails before work because the VNL was irking me.  Pink Rocks was not streaky, or anything, went on smooth.  Only complaint was how almost sheer it was.

Todays mani was actually inspired by Katrina!  I saw her mani HERE and decided to try it.  I did it EXACLTY how she had it, but felt I needed more.  So below is what I came up with.  I used a ton of polish for this, let me list everything.  NYC "French White Tip", Kiss Nail Art "Beach Green" LA Colors Art Deco "Green", Ulta "Blue Streak" Hard Candy "Sky", Kiss Nail Art "Beach Yellow", ChG "Flip Flop Fantasy", Jesses Girl "Beach Baby".  Whew, I think thats it.  Hope you like :)



Another AMAZING give-a-way!

Make sure you go register for Over the Taupes  give-a-way!  It's got LOTSA good stuff in it!  More tomorrow w/ pictures of manis!

On Wednesdays...a day behind :)

Ok, so I DID join the "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink", buuuuuuut I was too tired to post last night after a 12 hour shift.  So today, you get Wednesdays and Thursdays manis!

Wednesday I went with OPI Charged Up Cherry.  I almost got away with one coat but there was just a TAD bit of VNL.  Another coat and then Seche Vite of course.  Charged Up Cherry went on amazingly.  No streaks, no bald spots, no brush strokes.  I was reminded again why I love OPI.  It was a really really dark pinky color. 



Today I again drew a blank on what to use on my nails...So I grabbed 5 untried, and did a number elimination game with hubby lol.  Ended up with Essie Aruba Blue.  This was SOOO pretty alone but I couldn't leave it with out glitter because it's been a few days with no glitter lol.  I used NYC Starry Silver Glitter over it. 

The Essie went on great.  Again almost could get away with one coat.  I'm a little light handed on my left hand so I had to do 2 coats on both.  The formula on these Essie's are awesome, and I can't believe I never had any of them until about 2 months ago.  I will use this polish again for sure. 

Starry Silver Glitter I've used before and I guess I never realized it had a pinkish purple glitter in there too!  Super pretty, but still not as good as my lemming DL Glitter in the Air lol

One last thing before I get ready for work...The awesome Jamie from Milani sent me some of the polishes I have been looking for EVERYWHERE.  I really wanted to try their Neons as well as Pink Out Loud...so as I'm getting ready to get in the tub today the door bell rings and I see a Fex Ex guy driving away...look what I got!

Yaaaaaa for Milani.  I adore their one coat glitters so I'm sure these will be just as amazing.  I've been looking for a green/teal like this for a while!  Well, I'm off to get ready for work now!
