Happy Birthday, America!

Thumb detail.

Here's what I used:

1. pinkies - Collection 200, Hot Looks, "Show Off"
2. rings - SH, "White On"

3. middles - Colortrends by Chic, "113"

4. pointers and thumbs - CG, Millenium
I used the following plates:

M14

I stamped with Konad Special in Cool Red, White, Blue, Blue Pearl and CH Millennium.

Topped off with a couple of little (cheap - ya'll know me LOL) rhinestones and stars......and Seche Vite. On my ring and thumbs, I used Konad silver glitter topcoat. On my pointer, I used a little dusting of Icing "Epic Winning".

TINS and stamps

This was a swap polish from a LONG time ago - so long ago, that I forgot who sent it to me! It is beautiful on it's own....TiNS, "The Prestige Champagne". 1 coat!

But, of course, I couldn't leave it alone. LOL! Enjoy!

I stamped using Special Polish in Psyche Pink, Cool Red and Pop Green

I stamped all over with BM-203, then used HB 42 and H06 to add the other details.

PRINCE!

Well, I partied like it was "1999", but I forgot my Raspberry Beret....bummer. I did, however wear this awesome mani - I wish my name was Nikki and I had a Little Red Corvette.

(outside, full sun, no flash)

Inside - with flash.

Ring finger detail - with flash.

Here is what I used:

1. essence "Blossoms etc......." in Bloom-a-loom (1 coat!).

2. Fauxnad A13 plate for pinky.

3. FABurNAILS by JAKS plate (custom) for ring finger.

4. thumb is C-D XL plate C.

(all were stamped using Konad Special in Violet).

The squares and tears are from Dollar Nail Art, because I love cheap....and I couldn't find a "Dove" stamp...so I just did the "Cry" part. Yes.

Happy Birthday Prince!!!!

Baseball and Flowers

REALLY quick mani today. Now, we have all seen these Misa polishes, and yet again, I can confirm the beauty and wear of this polish. Why, you ask? Because I did this little design on THURSDAY. (um, today is Tuesday....that is day 5!!!). There is a little tip wear, but I think for 5 days, it is manageable. I could touch it up a little, but, I'm going to throw a change-up. ;)

Misa - Mermaid Dreams (one coat!!!!), stamped with Konad Special White.

GCOCL plate C01 and Konad M52. Top coat is Seche.

Now, why this angle? Well, can you see the difference in the color? It's probably hard to tell here, but there is a little touch of pink in this light.

Baseball. Yes. My Roo plays Little League ball for the Dodgers, here in our little town. I wanted to have something blue and white for his game.

I Need your help....

I am on my way to....well, Bermuda, on Thursday, and I have NO idea what to do with my nails. I don't know how to pack polishes, what I should take, etc. I have a small bottle of Remove+ (THE BEST) and beyond that, I don't know.....

Here's what I have on right now. Claires Chunky Blue in my first attempt at gradient mani...I love how it turned out - maybe not as perfect as I thought, but I am sooooo happy with this cheap polish!

This is a close-up of the big clear bling I used.

This is the mani in full sun! I added a Fauxnad Mermaid using Konad White. I did this yesterday, so I'm sure tomorrow will bring the vacay mani - we leave at 7:30am from Pittsburgh, which is a 2 hour drive from here....We have to be there at 5:30am due to it being an International flight, so it's going to be an EARLY morning...leaving at 3:00am.....UGH!!!!

I haven't been on much lately, and I have noticed that I haven't posted for 10 days. I don't like that....but I do have some cop-out, I mean reasons.

1. Roo boy was sick!!

2. He shared it with me ~ thanks.

3. I have been ordering Senior Portraits like crazy!
4. Everybody I know is having a baby and I have been able to photograph the little jewels.

I am going to post on vacation as much as possible and I am going to pick up a few goodies for Spring giveaways!

Be Polished!

Crazy GAME DAY nails, SEARS and Giveaways!

A little bit of randomness coming your way compliments of a few blogs I frequent, SEARS and WVU BBall....(and a little leftover V-Day and past NsOTD). Ah, where to begin:

1. Yesterday was WVU BBall game against Seton Hall....Here are my Crazy GAME DAY nails!

Maybe not as crazy as some, but I didn't have a lot of time the night before to get them done.

1. DC Super base

2. 2 Coats of Milani Holo 3D (wish there would have been more sun for this photo)

3. Coat of DC Super Dry before art....I wasn't sure if I was going to use Konad.

4. SH Insta-Dri, Blazing Blue for the angled tips and dots - I used a dotting tool.

5. Coat Seche.

Next is a teeny-weeny little rant. Check the pics:

Oh, now what could be wrong with these two pictures of great mail-haul polishes? OK, first of all, I ordered 3 Milanis - the blue never showed up (they sent an email apologizing) and for my trouble, they waived the shipping on this order. (so far, so good, eh?!?)....The issue is that this order came in two separate shipments - in TWO separate size 20 boxes; that's big enough for a bed pillow........AND - the two Milanis were not even wrapped, protected OR boxed. So, when I got them they were rattling around loose in that HUGE box along with the packing slip.......that was a broken bottle waiting to happen. Luckily they were safe, but shame on you, SEARS....what a waste of postage and boxes.

(I also would like to apologize for the dead ladybugs in the background of those photos.....)

Here are a couple of old NOTD to help you relax from the above story! LOL!

What I really wore on Valentines Day. Pink and Vampy....I only bought this polish for the name - The Commish often calls me his "Trophy Wife". I tipped in Art/Deco, and man was it shiny - almost as much as Liquid Leather!

Diamond Cosmetics Midnight Passion and some fauxnad....tipped with Art Club Steele and added little silver dittys, also Art Club. This one lasted all of about 12 hours - I had to get ready for the game.

And for a Giveaway roundup!

1. Lacquerized is having an awesome H&M giveaway celebrating 250 !!!!

2. Nooberellas is having a giveaway for reaching 100!!!

3. Rock 'n' Nails is having the coolest giveaway-swap thing......very cool!

4. Makeup by Celly is also giving away some cool stuff - be creative!

5. Concrete and Nail Polish is giving in honor of their followers!

There are a ton of giveaways right now - I'll edit as I stumble upon them....

Be Polished!
