Simple Sparkly NOTD

*Purchased By Me*

Hello loves, welcome back. Today's post is a very simple sparkly nail of the day. I loved how KleanColor Pastel Orange looked so much in the gradient last week that I decided to wear it by itself.

Today I'm showing you one of the undies I used in my last post, SC Last Chance. I picked this up a few weeks ago at Big Lots. It was the only bottle of SC in the whole store. I was kinda bummed, I need more SC in my life.

As I'm sure many of you already know yesterday was my birthday. I turned 24, yet I still feel (and act sometimes) like a teenager. haha Better than feeling old I guess :) I wanted to do something besides the usual cupcake nails so I decided I would do one of my favorite things, a gradient. I love how they turned out.

It seems that I've been stuck in the green zone lately and I don't see that ending for a bit. I have a few more post planed that fall in this zone, including a Easter mani. When I did my third easter look I wasn't pleased with the swatch of this polish so I decided to re-do it.

Cheetah Print NOTD

Hello ladies, I hope you are having a wonderdul day :)

So, apparently yesterday was Animal Print Day on Facebook. My news feed was full of it. So I thought I would give it a go. And since I enjoyed the first NYC polish I used so much I decided to use another.

NYC Times Square Tangerine Creme: NOTD

Hello ladies, how's you day going? I just got home from the hospital, had to take my Grandpa for a stress echo, and that place is exhausting!

I wanted to start doing some St. Patty's Day nail art but I was in a hurry this morning so I grabbed one the NYC polishes I picked up at Wal-Mart the other day. This is called Times Square Tangerine Creme (TSTC)

Pure Ice Siren/Twist and Shout

Good afternoon ladies, how are we doing?

Today I have a Pure Ice combo to show you. They have really stepped their game up and are quickly becoming one of my favorites. And I have found my new favorite red creme in Siren.

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

Hello ladies, Happy Friday!

Today I have a Sally Hansen polish to show you. This is one that I have picked up and put back countless times. Finally last Monday I just gave in and bought it. I've seen mixed reviews, so I've always been hisitant about it. But, I'm so glad I finally got it.

Nostalgic Angela

Hello ladies, I'm back again today! I just wanted to share with you a swatch of one of the polishes that I won from The Holographic Hussy. All photos are three coats with no undies.

Orly Preamp: NOTD

Good afternoon ladies, I hope your day is going well.

I have a very quick NOTD post to share with you. I got this polish a few months ago when I won two Sallys gift cards. This beautiful baby was just calling my name.

Orly Preamp is a pretty blue toned pink with a golden shimmer throughout. It was part of the fall 2012 Electronica collection. Application wise it was a dream. Full coverage in two coats. I did wish the brush was a bit wider though.

You might still be able to find it in stores. If not I'm sure you can on ebay or amazon, and I'm sure there's other websites out there as well.

That's all I have for you today. Sorry so short but the inspiration just isn't there :(. As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed :).

A Little Nail Staping: NOTD

Good evening ladies, I hope you're having a good day :)

Tonight, as promised, I have my NOTD featuring CG Foie Gras. Its just not a color that I could wear on its own. So I stamped over it using Pure Ice Super Star and a salon express plate. I topped all that with a coat of Pure Ice Don't You Wish.

This is probably my favorite stamp that you get with the set. I really can't wait to get some new plates. I'm dropping some major hints lol.

Well that's all for tonight. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed :)

China Glaze Lemon Fizz: NOTD

Good afternoon ladies. I hope you are having a good day :)

I decided to continue down the path of wearing all my China Glazes (which isn't that many) so I could have swatches of them all. I went with Lemon Fizz today.

Lemon Fizz was part of the spring 2010 Up and Away collection. It is a soft pastel yellow creme. One of the best formulas I've found for a yellow. Took three coats, but that's because I was impatient and smudged my second coat. Otherwise I could have gotten away with two.

I doubt that you will find this in stores, but I know its on ebay for about $5. I'm sure its also on amazon. I got mine from copious before they went downhill.

That's all I have for you today. Sorry for being so short but I don't feel that great today. As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed :)

China Glaze Bahamian Escape: NOTD

Good evening ladies, I hope you are all enjoying your day :)

I wanted to share my NOTD with you right quick. We are going to start preparing for dinner tomorrow here in a little bit. I imagine this might get ruined but that just gives me another excuse to paint them again lol.

I wanted something bright and fun for today. And it seems I've been on a blue kick as well as a China Glaze kick here lately, so I went with Bahamian Escape. Plus as its getting colder who wouldn't wanna escape to the Bahamas?

Bahamian Escape was part of the winter 2008 Bahama Blues collection. It went on wonderfully, with full coverage in two coats. I've really come to love CG's formula. In terms of color i'd say its somewhere between a sky blue and a robins egg. Either way she's beautiful.

I got mine from ebay, and seeing as its from 2008 its highly unlikely to be in any store. I'm sure you can find it on amazon and maybe nailsupplies.us

Well, that's all for today. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families, and if you're going shopping this evening or in the morning, please be safe. As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed :)

China Glaze For Audrey: NOTD

Good morning ladies, I hope your day is a good one so far. I'm off to the doctor with my honey to see if we can discover the cause of some grinding and constant pain in her knee. When it comes to doctors she's like a big baby, so this day should be interesting lol.
But before we go I wanted to share my NOTD with you. This is probably one of the most popular China Glazes out there. I know it went on my wishlist the moment I first saw it. And of course that would be For Audrey (FA).
FA was released in honor of Audrey Hepburn. It is really close in color to the infamous "Tiffany blue", although it leans a bit more blue. In the horrible lighting in my house it can look minty blue. And of course this makes me love it more.
The formula was pretty good. It was a bit runny, but since I bought it used I don't know if it's just my bottle or not. Someone may have thinned it a bit too much. You can see I had some cuticle pooling on the middle finger of my left hand. Also, my bottle has a wonky brush. All photos show two coats.
Even though it was released a while ago its still pretty easy to find. According to Sallys its in stock online and in stores. I've also seen it on ebay and amazon. I think you can also get it on transdesign, although last time I checked it was sold out. I got mine on copious back during the summer.
Well, that's all I have for you today. Do you own this or is it one that you want? As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed :)

NOTD LA Colors Phenomena

Evening ladies!  Just thought I would drop in to say hi and share my NOTD with you.  I really hope to get a computer soon. I hate this blogger app so I tend to stay away:( But if you follow me on twitter you can see all my NOTD!
Anyways, on to the nails...this is a polish that I got from my honey a few months ago but was saving for cooler weather. Its a pretty berry cream by LA Colors called Phenomena. The first two coats were a little streaky so I added a third to even it out.
I hate that I can't add photos throughout the post and only at the end. The collage is an example of what I post on twitter. As a treat I'll throw in Zoya Suri, which I fianally used even though I've had it for months!
I hope these scattered post aren't annoying you too much and driving you away! As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed :)
