Hello loves and welcome back. I told you last time that today I would show you the prettiest manicure from Hades aka how I actually wore Orly Mirrorball. I know it doesn't look like it but it took me close to 3 hours to complete this look. I tried about 10 different stamping plates and about 6 polishes and none of them were working for me. Luckily I remembered to topcoat my base so I didn't have to keep taking it off and starting over.

Hello lovelies, today I have the first prompt for the Twinkie Nail Art Challenge for 2015 and it's a good one! Unfortunately there is chatter that this may be the last month of the challenge which makes me a super saddy pants, I've been motivated to try out some really cool techniques while doing this and I've had a lot of fun. Let's just hope that Beckie changes her mind :) Anyways, this weeks prompt was rainbow!

AIS: Plate Ending With 2

This weeks prompt for Adventure in Stamping is to use a plate that ends in 2. I decided to use Pueen plate 32 and my base of Orly Miss Conduct since I was already wearing it.

 

Glitter Gradient Take 1

I don't normally share most things nail related on my personal facebook. I have an album where I share my favorite looks, but that's about it. I did however share the other day that I wanted to do my nails but there were too many choices lol, a problem a lot of us face. One of the suggestions was glitter gradient, something I've been wanting to try.

Orly Enchanted Forest

I have another Orly to share with you today, Enchanted Forest. My honey gave this one to me for Christmas. One day I'll make it through all that she has given me. Of course it would help if I'd stop buying more lol.

Orly Miss Conduct

*The product in this post was purchased by me. As always, all opinions are my own. For more info you can view my disclosure policy here.*

Are you the type of person that takes forever to buy something that you really want? I want to be one of those that buys what I want right away instead of torturing myself for months on end. I did this for a while with Orly Miss Conduct. It was Tunay Na Mahal's post that made me stop putting it off. I was also able to pick it up for under $5!

Orly Buried Alive

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

*The product in this post was purchased by me. As always, all opinions are my own. For more info, you can view my disclosure policy here.*

Today I have Orly Buried Alive to show you. I bought this about a year ago and this was the first time that I wore it. It's one of those colors that you buy because you are wanting to try a brand for the first time plus its on clearance. It actually surprised me how much I enjoyed it.

Anyone else out there feel like all the really cool nail art for the 4th has been done already? Me too, so I just decided to go with a gradient and some stamping. I just got the PUEEN Love Elements set and I couldn't wait to use them!

Holiday Mani #1: Swirls

Hello ladies, I hope you are having a wonderful day :)
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not afraid to share my fail art with you. Not everything comes out perfect everytime. You have to start somewhere.
With that being said I present to you my attempt at a swirley mani. I was inspired by Christmas ornaments that I saw somewhere (was it tha Walgreens flyer?). Anyway...
I kept my base of Orly Preamp and free handed the swirl with LA Colors Live. I wish now that I had used a darker base, its hard to see the swirls. I appologize.
It didn't turn out the way I saw it in my head, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. This is only my third time using brushes though. I've got a few more Christmas manis planned, so I'm sure to get more practice.
Well, we've come to the end :(. As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed <3

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 :).
