NOTD: Absolutely Alice

I got Absolutely Alice yesterday in the mail along with the rest of the Alice in wonderland collection and I could not wait to see it on my nails. My favorite color is blue and this polish gotta be the most beautiful blue glitter ever. Ive gotten many glitters lately but this beat all of them by far! I tried taking good pics but none of them do it justice its soo much more beautiful in person.

Had to put my new little Hello Kitty in there

Broke a nail playing volleyball :-(

Haul!!

This past week I didn't buy any polishes because I was only gonna buy 2 Lippmann polishes from Nordstrom on Saturday but unfortunately that didn't happen. So instead I took a trip out to Ulta which the whole time that Ulta had been there I had never gone in. Ulta is great they had all brands of polishes in one stop! and I got some great deals I even got a OPI start to finish coat for free for spending $17 of OPI products which is very easy to do. I got all these polishes from Ulta, Walgreens, American Apparel and a lovely eBay seller.

Start to Finish ($12 polish for Free)

I've been wanting the Shrek collection for a while but not sure which ones so I thought I could test theses out to make my selection I knew I had to have Funky Donkey. I got 2 glitters from The Burlesque collection and after buying all of this from Ulta I got the base/top coat for free. I also got 4 polishes from the Alice and wonderland collection which the 2 glitters are extremely hard to find and go for alot. I got lucky and found a lovey eBay seller that was selling all 4 from less then $40 which is a deal because Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice go for at least $45 together.

These's are all from Walgreen they are $0.99-$1.99 each as you see I got more then one of the Black creme and of Prancer, I like to get back ups of good cheap polishes just in case they stop selling them or something happens to my bottles. The black creme gotta be the best black polish ever it covers in one coat! Prancer I'm going to use to make a Franken that will be a dupe of Lippmanns Ruby Red Slippers.

                              American Apparel/Essence

American Apparel Summer Peach

American Apparel Malibu green

American Apparel Butter

Essence High Waist pink

Essence polishes came from Ulta for pretty cheap I was gonna get the whole Denim Wanted collection but I decided on 2 a grey polish which is my 1st and a pretty pink. Sunday I took a trip to Newbury St. in Boston I had to go into American Apparel and get the polishes on my wish list. I had to buy the Butter tester because it was the last one and I had to have it! They had a sale 3 for $15.

Hello Kitty nail polish and stickers

Nicole by OPI Bring on the tinsel

I love mini polish they come in handy when your on the go. This is the 1st time I seen sinful colors in mini bottles they jumped on the band wagon too I see. NYC polish is horrible very watery still kinda like the polish but I'm probably gonna get rid of it as soon as I get a polish of the same color. The Hello kitty polish I got was just for the stickers and the hello kitty figure. Nicole by OPI Bring on the tinsel Ive been searching for this polish for the past 2 weeks and I finally found it when I went to Ulta after reading a blogger say she got it at Ulta. That's all I got in this past weekend I really think I got a serious problem! Running out of space to put all these polishes.

Haul coming soon

I usually do my haul post on Sundays but most of the polishes I acquired this week was during the weekend and I will be getting a package tomorrow of some more polishes. I will be doing my haul post tomorrow there is a lot in this haul, new polishes, old polishes, hard to find polishes, Fraken dupe polish and good cheap polishes that everyone should have in their collection.

NOTD. Rockstar pink tips

This past week has been very busy I barely had time to pay my nails some attention thank god I had a pretty tough nail polish on, Marquee Moon lasted almost as week with minor chips. I wanted to show you the removal it was kinda interesting that I had to take a picture of it.

All the sequins stayed on!

So finally today I got to do my nails, Ive been buying a lot of glitters lately so I wanted to use one in a different way. I decided on using Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Rockstar pink and did only the tips. I used french guides to do this and did 2 thick coats of Rockstar Pink with 2 coats of Seche top coat between each layer.

I really like how this came out I'm gonna start going this more often.

NOTD. Marquee Moon

Marquee is my 2nd Lippmann collection polish I picked this one up at Nordstrom and as you probably know these polishes are very pricey so I had to beg my boyfriend to allow me to get it. I let him pick the polish it was this one or Across the Universe. He picked Marquee Moon because he thought I didn't have a silver polish (which I do but whatever gets me another polish works for me) Ill be back for the other one next week.

Marque Moon has a metallic silver base with large silver sequins that is opaque in 2 coats. The sequins make this polish a little hard to work with but as long you don't go over the same spot right away you should be fine. I didn't know that at first so I was dragging the sequins off my nail. The unique things about this polish is that you will never gets the same amount of sequins on each nail and this was what Deborah Lippmann intended.

(sorry for the bad quality picture I couldn't find my camera)

After applying the polish I decided to make it a little more glittery so I wanted to try out China Glaze Wireless Holographic top coat.

Still wasn't satisfied so I added a little Konad design on my ring finger from

So this week I went a little crazy I got my package from eBay with a whole bunch of polishes on my wish list, some from my local drug stores and finally one lovely from Nordstrom. I separated them by brand this time.

That is all for this week I will be getting more Lippmann collection polishes next week I have pre begged for those already. My boyfriend already thinks I have a problem but  after I showed him Babbling Brooke's blog post of her nail polish collection which is 540 deep he no longer will say anything when I buy a nail polish.

NOTD: Roses

I was up very late last night so I decided to do some nail art. Ive been meaning to do some free hand stuff and I remember a post I seen on Emerald Sparkled on roses over a mint polish. I loved the look and wanted to try it out. Ive been working on my free handing and getting better at using my left hand so this is my 1st design after all the practice . Click Here to see Emerald Sparkled post, she also has a tutorial on how to make the roses on her blog.

This is everything thing I used:

Revlon Minted

Elf Fluorescent pink

LA Colors Art Deco Light Pink

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Jumpin' Jade

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Mint Sprint

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Clearly quick

Seche Vite

Base Coat

Dotting tool and Nail Brush

Left Hand

Roses

Right Hand

 Roses

I did my left hand 1st and I started off doing the the light pink with the striper brush and it didn't look so good so I switched to a nail brush. Ive been practicing using my left hand and ironically I am now better with my left then right. Well I hope you like it and give it a try.

Starry, Starry Zebra

I recently got Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Starry, Starry Flight and I could not wait to wear it so here it is!

Beautiful in 3 coats!

peeking in the background is my package from wowsocool.com for my girls nail art class.

A couple day later I was getting dressed and I was looking for shoes to wear and I ran across my silver sequins zebra print flats. Soo they gave me a great idea.

  I absolutely love how this looks I couldn't stop looking at my nails! 

Haul!

Hi all,

This week I hauled a good amount of polishes but the majority of them have not arrived yet should be coming in hopefully tomorrow, I cant wait! The ones I am showing you today I picked up at my local Rite Aid, CVS and the others I stumble upon while shopping in Forever 21 (I didn't even know they sold nail polish I guess everyone is giving a shot at it).

1st up is part of the limited edition Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes, Starry, Starry Flight. That has to be the longest name ever! I first saw this polishes swatched on The Nailphile I absolutely loved it! I already had a fav. silver glitter which was Sally Hansen Extreme wear Celeb city but this one blew that one out the water. It was opaque in 3 thin coats, it wasn't at all lumpy,dries really quick and last long. This one is a must have!!!

2nd Milani Neon fresh teal: I haven't had a chance to wear this one because Starry, Starry flight has held up so well. I love teal polishes and a neon teal polish sounds good to me. This polish you are suppose to use a white base color for the teal color to pop (actually say it on the label). I cant wait to use it with a nice nail art design.

3 and 4 Love & Beauty (Forever 21 polish) No name and Camel:

I had to get these 2 polishes because I don't have anything that looks like either one of these. Camel is a little darker then a nude it reminds me of OPI Barefoot in Barcelona which I had but it got lost in the move so why not get a cheaper version on it. The other didn't have a price tag so no name on it. I really like this one it has really thin holo glitter and a great plum color. These polishes are about $3 and they have a variety of colors these are the only ones that stood out to me.

Finally 2 silver holo glitters. Snowman and Wet N' Wild Wild Shine Cheers
I got these because I gave the holo glitter I did have away while I was in search of Starry, Starry Flight I found these 2 and I couldn't decide so I got them both. I swatched them on my nail wheel and I liked the snowman better because it has more glitter and dries faster(its cuter too). Ill probably end up giving away the other one. I got these at Rite Aid and they both cost under $2.That's all for this week cant wait till my package gets delivered so I can show you the wonderful polishes I got!

A gift for me, my girls, and a special blogger...

A couple of days ago I got a lovely gift from my old co-worker. She found out we had a Nail art class at my job with my older girls so she had some nail stuff laying around the house that she didn't use or have a need for so she gave it to us. She gave us 4 of everything below but the Nailene nails.

Incoco dry nail applique, Kiss nail art polishes

Neon yellow/orange, Nailene Nails and Kiss Nail File

My girls were nice enough to give me one of each since it was for them. They are also giving away everything you see here except the nails to their favorite blogger Lois from NailYorkCity. My lovely girls have been very blessed to receive many donations and grants for their nail art class. A special thanks to Jessica Kong from Wowsocool for the generous gift certificate to her site. We just received our package and they absolutely cant wait till Wednesday (the day the class meets). Thanks! They are now gonna give back by sending a package to Lois from NailYorkCity.

Last weeks haul!

This post is pretty late I was going to post this on Sunday like every week but due to Halloween I sort of forgot about oops anyways last week I picked up a whole bunch of stuff for really cheap! I made my usual trip to Target and Dollar Tree and this is what I picked up. (All polishes were $1)

I found these at Dollar Tree, I am a shopaholic so I managed to get all the colors they had that I didn't already have. Thank god I did because when I went back they were all gone!!

I also picked up another two duo sets of the Sally Hansen polishes this time I got Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Purple Diamond.and Fire Opal as well as L.A. Colors nail strengthener and some nail gems (all different shapes and colors)

That was all for last week. Got a whole bunch of stuff this week some mine and some for my Girl's Nail art class.
