Hola, my lovely readers that are still here after my long, long, hiatus. I haven't blogged for many reasons. The main reason being , I'm a bit hard on myself sometimes. So I just decided not to continue to blog. Over the past year though, I've missed it so much. So I'm back. Now on to the nails...

I recently made a spreadsheet for my polishes , because sometimes I would buy a polish I already owned. So after my spreadsheet was completed I couldn't believe the number of Untrieds I had. So  I decided I would "try" to use one or two untrieds for every mani. I'm not exactly happy with the colors . I just grabbed and polished. I used China Glaze - Beauty Within from the 2012 United In Purpose collection. Funky Fingers - Mrs. Mint , and Finger Paints Are You Hoppy? from the new Wild About Spring collection. Are You Hoppy is a lavender Glitter Shard Topper. I had application problems with AYH , this polish could definitely use thinner. Some of the pieces were very large and didn't lay flat. Two coats of topcoat would probably lay the pieces down flat. But ain't nobody got time for that.

Monday PAA Mani - Crackle

This weeks PAA challenge was crackle. Since I'm not a fan of the crackle/shatter/croc trend , I didnt have any Crackle polishes. So I improvised and used Bundle Monster Plate 208. I'm happy with this mani. My stamping is slowly improving. I stamped with Konad White. The base color is China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. I love love this color. Its' so fablous. Blue may be my new favorite color for nail polish. I find myself wearing blue over and over again.

Day 19 Galaxy Nails

 I really like this mani. I didn't at first b/c I thought it was too dark. But it grew on me. I think I like this galaxy better than my first. I always have more fun when I just paint instead of thinking about it out too much.  Ciao!

Nails from the end of 2011!

Three random mani's from December.  I loved the grey one, I remember that. The other two I wore less than a day. Just didn't like them. 

Pure Ice - Kiss Me Here

CND Sapphire Sparkle layered on top.I loved all the sparkles.

Milani Silver Sweep

Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters glitter layered on top. I need a new chunky glitter b/c,

I hate the brush on this polish. Its just so thick and I always have to cleanup my cuticles

 even if I'm really careful.

Finger Paints Winter Sky, with Finger Paints Sparkle Topcoat.

The combo doesn't look horrible in these pictures. However this combo reminded me of the sky when its about to thunder lol. It was so cloudy and I absolutely didn't like.

After Christmas blue mani

I'm such a sporadic blogger . Anyhow. I didn't wear a festive mani for Christmas but I wore this mani on Dec 29th in honor of my great grandma. Her favorite color was baby blue. She would have been 79 on Dec 29th 2011. I went to visit her grave in honor of her birthday :)
 I have to get a backup bottle of this baby blue polish, Sally Hansen Barracuda. It's so plain and not to unique but , I just adore this color on my skin tone. Accent finger is China Glaze Dorthy Who. I should have used two coats but I didn't so its a little spotty.

Day - 18 Half Moons

Good morning. Long time no post. Finals kicked but I got straight A's so that's a good thing. I didn't pass Algebra yet again :( . On to the nails. I am not a big fan of half moon mani's. I first attempted one last week but I absolutely hated it. So I tried again and the result is still the same. I didn't use those reinforcement stickers because I didn't have any. I used french tip guides. I would have liked them more if there wasn't such a huge gap.

Nude : Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - Sheer Vanilla
Green: Revlon - Emerald City


I took a picture of the bottle backwards b/c I still haven't taken the tacky clearance sticker off. Got this baby last week @ Target for 1.12.

Day 18 - Glitter

Good afternoon!

The base i used is Teal Envy by Nail Polish Max Makeup CHERIMOYA. Too long of a name if you ask me. This bottle is very similar to Kleancolors. I just adore this color. I've worn it 3 or 4 times. Which is a big deal b/c that only happens with pinks or blues lol. I was loving this mani before I applied Revlon - Blue Mosaic. When it first came out earlier this year i instantly fell in love. Now 3 months later I'm just now trying it and I don't like it against this base. Maybe they are to similar in color.
