China Glaze Four Leaf Clover

I currently have 518 polishes and with so many polishes its hard to pick what color to wear so a lot of the time I asked my hubby to pick a color. This time he said he wanted to see a Celtics green (he's still upset that they lost) So I looked in my stash and I the closest thing I had was China Glaze four leaf clover. The color went on perfect in 2 coats but I wasn't a fan of it so I took it off in 3 hours :-).





How do you ladies pick out what color to wear??

Blue stripes failed mani

So I usually don't show failed manis but I just love the color of the polish I used and I didn't capture any pictures of it by itself. I attempted to do blue stripes because I was wearing a shirt with blue stripes so I went with the tape method. I had a hard time cutting the tape into strips as well as placing them straight. I used Wet N Wild white creme and Revlon Royal.





Any tips on how I can do this mani better?

Coral Mood Stuck polish

Hey Ladies Sorry for going MIA but Its coming to the end of my afterschool program and I'm trying to finish projects to end the year off strong. I still have time to do my nails but not to post them up. I have been swatching a lot f nail polish lately now that my nails have finally gotten stronger and are breaking less so there will be many more nails coming. The polish I have up first is my favorite mood polish that I wore for 3 days! It went on smooth in 2 coats and dried extremely fast!


Cool Color (put my hand under cold water)


Warm Color

The best thing about mood polish! the illusion of a french mani.

The 2 different colors

After a day of wearing this mani I was feening for some glitter and I remembered I just bought some lose glitter that look like the same color. So I did an accent finger with the lose glitter.



 That's all for now many more polishes coming soon!

Haul

Its coming to the ends of the month and I know I did not do any better in buying less polish then there is days in the month but there was just so many things that I couldn't pass up on. This month I found alot of really cheap stuff so its not like I spent alot. I think my goal is gonna change to how much money I spend instead on number of bottles.

Everythings here was all pretty cheap so I was happy even though I bought alot. I also took advantage of the 50% off on Barielle polishes and I did resist the one free Zoya bottle promo. I think Ive been good most of my polish buying has been for swaps and a giveaway so that's helped from buying polishes for myself. I couple bottles more I will have to build my 2nd helmer because I am running out of room. I updated my spreadsheet and I know have over 500 polishes. I am a Polishaholic!

Colorful Tips

My nails have finally gotten a little stronger and haven't broke as much. So I finally have tips so I decided to do a colorful french. I picked out the following polishes for my colorful tips.

China Glaze Towel boy toy
Sinful colors pink
Sinful colors neon melon
Color Club the Lime start here
Sally Girl glitter
Sally Girl neon orange

Started off with a basic french then added a coat of glitter and lastly added 2 coat of each color on the tips. I love how it came out even though my Hubby said it look like a ghetto girl manicure.





I actually got a couple of compliments from people. What do you guys think? Is it to much?

Im back with some Crack

Hey ladies sorry Ive been MIA lately but life and work has gotten very busy. I actually went on a mini vacation just to get away from work and family so me and the hubby went away to NH. While we were there we wanted to let off some stress so we made out way  to a Firing range. This  was the 1st time I fired a gun even though most think its not because of the gun tattoo on my hand. It was lots of fun and I did pretty good.

So now on to the nails I recently got some of the Sally Hansen Crackle and the one I wanted to use right away was Distressed Denim because my favorite color is Blue. A couple of weeks ago I seen a post on The Nailphile she was trying the crackle out and she paired Distressed Denim with OPI last Friday night. I thought that combinations was just so BEAUTIFUL!!! I had to try it!







I love this combination!! This mani surprisingly held up for 3 days and I didn't not get bored of it! What Sally Hansen crackles are you looking forward to getting?
