Wet n Wild Fergie

Change of plans...I had said yesterday that I would do an updated blog on my very 1st polish purchased, but was so thrilled that my husband surprised me with almost the entire Wet n Wild Fergie collection.  I was a bit scared to hurt his feelings, if I did not like them, WRONG, I love them!!! The brush is wide and most of the colors are 1 coaters.  Today I have Fergalicious and Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Of course, my first post would be done with my favorite color, Pink.

Here are the polishes I used, and a mani would not be a super shiny many with out HK Girl Top Coat.  I always make certain I am never low!  Not only are these polishes beautiful, the drying time is very fast.

The application for the stars requires a bit of fishing, but not hard at all.  In addition to the holographic stars, there is also holographic tiny bars in a clear base.  

I am very surprised with this polish, I did not think it would be able to compete with some of the "high end" brands.  I am looking forward to purchasing the rest of this collection.  The application was smooth and easy and I love that the brush is wide.  I was able to cover my entire nail with one coat.

These polishes can be purchase at Walgreen's and Walgreen's online.  I also saw that drugstore.com carries them too. To order the FABULOUS HK Girl Top Coat click here.  I look forward to sharing more of this collection on Saturday.  Until then, may your day be filled with lots of beautiful polish.

My 1st ever polish purchase

Today's post is about the very 1st polish I purchase back in September.  I look at this photo and see a big difference in my polishing skills.  I applied it, not know how Jelly polishes work.  Take a look, my 1st thought was "wow, look at my cuticles" LOL

This is my favorite polish by Pahlish, Toxic and Timeless.  If only I had Ana's Pure Crisp cuticle oil at the time and a light box :) Little did I know that this was a jelly polish.  This was 3 thick coats alone.  Tomorrow's post, this same polish, but now I know, sorta know, what I am doing.  Toxic and Timeless is so beautiful, this picture does not do justice.  Until tomorrow, may your day be filled with lots of beautiful polishes.

It's Penguins!

Alas. I am finally at a point that I can take on my blog full time.  I for one, am glad 2012 is over and I am ready to take on 2013.  Today I have a polish by F4 Polish Pink Peguins and China Glaze 100 Pink Proof.  When I saw these polishes, I knew I just had to have them.

Not only are the bottles adorable with the little bling, the formula was fantastic! Not one single issue with the application.  This polish will look great with any undies~

I am a sucker for Pink and fine glitter type polish, so this is a win-win for me.  I am still using the Pure Crisp cuticle oil and my cuticles have never look better! The next 6 weeks I will be blogging a ton, as I agreed to participate in a No Buy with some fabulous ladies on the Show Me Your Top Coats group.  Yes, this mean I cannot purchase polish until 2/16/13.  Why would I do such a thing to myself?  Everyone knows that I cannot go 5 minutes with out purchasing polish!  I'm doing this to prove to myself that the polish world is not going to go away, if I do not buy polish :)

All in all, I love the way this turned out.  Next up for the F4 polish.....I'm going to attempt a gradient over a white polish.  I think it will be stunning.  F4 polish can be purchased on her Etsy shop online.here  Until tomorrow, may your day be filled with lots of beautiful polish.

Saturday Spam

Happy Saturday to all, I hope you are enjoying your weekend and hitting all the polish sales.  Today I have a color that my wonderful husband pick out for me.  He knows my love for the color Pink.  I just love the fact that he will go on his own, not only looking for polish for me, but polish for others, that I have told him what they are looking for.  He bought the prettiest Pink that I have seen in a while, L'Oreal Penthouse Pink.  It did take 3 coats to reach full color, but the formula was smooth and easy.

I added a light coat of Color Club Magic, which is beautiful as a topper and even more stunning with two coats I used on my pointer fingers.  This is a great polish for the price and I love the shape of the bottles.  They look so pretty in my polish rack.

I accidentaly took a pic backwards using my cell phone, but I love how this turned out.  I am going to try and use this method in my light box.  What do you think? What pinks do you have and love.  That is all for today, until then, may you day be filled with lots of beautiful polish~



The Day after Christmas

WOW, Christmas has been here and gone already!  This year and especially this month has flown by.  My husband and I celebrated our 1st year of marriage on Christmas Eve.  Funny story...we got married at 11:30am on 12/24/11 and did not tell anyone, not even my best friend....yes, it was VERY hard for me to keep my mouth shut! We went to my parents house afterwards to start the holiday cheer.  We did not tell anyone when we got there either.  A few hours pass and my cousin, bless her little blonde soul, says very loudly, OMG look at that ring on Shea's finger!! Did ya'll get married?  I say in a very low tone, shhh, we just got married this morning.  She raises her glass of wine and yells "Shea and Robert got married this morning...whooo hoooo!!" We both looked at her with blank faces...she said whats wrong, I said, we have not told anyone yet, but they all know now!!  A classic Chevy Chase moment!

On to today nails.  My 1st real polish review is for none other than the brilliant Maria, from NailNation3000.  Her creations are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! If you love Holo's, Maria is your girl! I am wearing 4Get Me Not.  This just shouts LOOK AT ME!!!

This is was taken with flash to capture all of its beauty.  I buffed my nails prior to application and did not use a base or top coat.  All photos are 2 thick coats of pure happiness! The application was easy, formula was perfect, no clean up around my cuticles was needed~

You can purchase her beauties direct from Maria on her fan Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/#!/NailNation3000?fref=ts or through Llarowe.

Also featured in todays post is Simple Nail Art Tips, Pure Crisp cuticle oil.  This is the cure ALL of cuticle oils, nail hardeners and nail growth.  Anna's Pure Crisp cuticle oil pens are so easy to use and they smell so good.  I noticed an immediate change in the appearence of my dry cracked cuticles.  I have tried everything and nothing worked.  A fellow friend and blogger introduced me to this product and I will never go with out it.  Not only are my cuticles beautiful, but my nails are growing and look so healthy.  My husband has started demanding that I oil his cuticles every night!! He loves the smell too. You can purchase the Pure Crisp Cuticle Pens at http://www.simplenailarttips.com/products/pure-cuticle-oil and find wonderful Nail Art Tips on her facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/#!/SimpleNailArtTips  That is all for today, until tomorrow, may your day be filled with lots of beautiful polish~

Happy Holidays!

Can you believe Christmas is almost here? I cannot believe it is almost 2013, where did the time go!! In addidtion to being Christmas Eve, today is my 1 year anniversary :) My husband and I got married last year on Christmas Eve and did not tell anyone, not even my best friend~  Today I have a beautiful blue mani to share with you.  Those that know me, know that Pink is my favorite color, but Blue is now close behind.

I used Zoya Tallulah with China Glaze Fairy Dust, the accent ring is NUBAR Blue Sparkle. I recently purchased 3 blue from the Zoya line and love them all.  I will have more blue mani's later this week.

The lighting reflects a design on my nails, it looks pretty cool~ The China Glaze Fairy Dust has a ton of sparkle, I reccommed this to everyone.  It lights up any color!

As always, I used 1 coat Seche Vite followed by 1 coat of HK Girl top coat.  I wish everyone a safe and Happy Holiday.  Until then, may your day be filled with lots of beautiful polish~

Santa Nail Art Challenge

Happy Football Sunday to all! Today I have day 11 of the SMYTC Holiday Nail Art Challenge, and I have to say I am very pleased how this turned out.  Most of you know I have never painted my nails before and was so excited to participate in a few challenges.  Today I have what I call a "fat little Santa" stuck in the chimney.

His legs are a bit short, as my nails are nubs, but I am determined to let me grow as long and pretty. I used Zoya Sarah, Purity and Storm along with BL Chancer and Snooki Red Sparkle.

I like how the light relects off the tops of my fingers on this one.  His boots are tiny too :)  My New Years resolution is to focus on my health, blog daily and swatch all my polish on nail wheels with color names! I have agreed to join in on the 2013 SMYTC "No Buy", I know I know, those that know me are laughing!  Haha, but I am going to give it a try.  That is all for today.  Tomorrow I will have a BEAUTIFUL blue from Zoya....until then, may your day be filled with lots of beautfiul polish~
