Starry Earth: Clock Strikes Twelve, Humble Honey-Badger

Hello ladies! Today I bring you two polishes from Starry Earth. The lovely Elizabeth of Starry Earth was kind enough to send these to me. As beautiful as there are on her site, they are even more so in real life. I don’t have anything like these and I haven’t seen anything like these before.

Blue Butterflies

Good evening ladies, I’m back with another post. Two days in a row, can you believe it? lol I made sure to get up early so that I could this done and get pictures before the sun went down. Wouldn’t be nice to have time to just sit around a do your nails all anytime you pleased?

Ok, back to reality… I am determined to get the hang of stamping. I found a set on amazon with a G Clef on it, but I have said that I won’t invest in anymore plates until I get the hang of stamping. So, don’t be surprised to see lots more stamping post lol.

Versatile Blogger Award

Hi guys I know it’s been awhile since my last post, but I’ve gotten into a lazy rut and I need to get out of it. I hope to get some stamping done, a braided mani and something with dots, maybe ladybugs.

Anyhow, a few days ago I got nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award from Shelly’s Sassy Nails. (Thank You Shelly J) My second blog award this month! This one is for bloggers who are still fairly new but doesn’t have a follower limit. Rules seem pretty simple for this one too.

NOTD: Julep Jessica

Good morning ladies!

I skipped TIOT this week so that I could wear my new Julep Jessica that I got from Copious on the latest round of credits. This has been on my wishlist for a few months now, so when faced with the opportunity to get it for a penny you better believe I swiped that baby up lol.

NOTD: Teal or No Teal

Good afternoon ladies, I have a NOTD for you. It's WetnWild's Teal or No Teal. But first some nail art.
After this morning's excitement I couldn't get back to sleep so I've been up since then and I decided to play around with my nails. I tried some more water marbling. Again, not sure how I feel about this, a little better then last time but one finger got smashed in the door when I went out the take a pic. I thought it was dry but I guess it was no match for the door. lol

So, now onto the notd: this is 3 coats. I would have been ok with 2 but I had a few bald spots.

First "Official" TIOT

Good afternoon ladies, today I have my first "official" TIOT. I did my first one back in June but that was just for fun, you can find it here. Again, I have an unnamed LA Colors from the metallics set. This one is a dark grey and it reminds me of the lead in a pencil.

Liebster Award

Good evening ladies, today I have for you my very first blog award! How exciting lol.

I was nominated by Fancy Schmancy Nails.(And dreammyMM Nails) Apparently this award is for bloggers with less than 200 followers. The rules are simple and I tried to follow them all but I had trouble with one:

1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.

2. They must also answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them.

3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.

4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.

5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.

6. There are no tag backs.

First Water Marble Attempt

Good evening ladies!

If you follow Shelly's Sassy Nails then you know tomorrow is Sassy Saturday.(if not SHAME on you lol) That is her monthly themed contest. And this month was water marble. It was the perfect excuse to do something that I had been wanting to try but had just been putting off.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about how this turned out, nor what to label it as. For my first attempt I don't think its all that bad, so I'm hesitant to call it a complete fail. But, I know that it's not that good either. I just don't know lol. I'm excited to try it again though.

Let me know what you guys think. Have you tried marbling yet? Have any good first time horror stories? (I love a good horror story lol) Or were you an instant expert?

Also, if you would like to enter Sassy Saturday, you still have little bit of time left. All entries are due in by tomorrow, Saturday Aug 4th, at noon (est). You can post them on her FB Wall or email them to her at ShellysSassyNails@hotmail.com.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day :)

Tip Top Nail Chic

Good morning ladies, today I have swatches and a review of four polishes from Tip Top Nail Chic. Tip Top is a South Africa based company. All of their polishes are cruelty and the big 4 free. I really liked the formulas on these, and most of them covered well in two coats but I used three for some. My favorite thing about them was the brushes, they are wide and flat and covered the nail in 3 swipes, giving you streak free application.Dry time on these were really good. It was about 2-3 mins per coat. I received Pink Lady, Solar Flare, Black Forest and Space Cadet.

*This is pic heavy, so join me after the break*
