Glitah!!!!

It's been a few weeks since my last post so....time for a new one!!! Woo hoo!!! I do like me some glitter and was in the mood for it so I came up with a variation on a french manicure.

I use China Glaze's Aqua Baby (2 coats on top of a base coat). I used 1 coat of Seche Vite to get it to dry faster and some drying drops. I've seen people use reinforcements for the half moon manicure but I used it to get the bottom of the tips to be a little more rounded cause I suck freehanding it and tape was too straight of a line for me for what I wanted. But the tips are OPI's Simmer and Shimmer and then I Seche Vite'd the crap out of it (2-3ish coats). The glitter in the Simmer and Shimmer has a rough texture to it and I wanted it to be smooth. Overall though I liked how it turned out and should sparkle pretty well in the sun light.

I've decided to catalog my nail polish with color wheels, I'll have to post pics from that later...I also need another way to organize my polish. I've outgrown my current storage and still have nail polish on it's way. I'm hoping to get my order soon. It's some Zoya polishes which I've never tried before but hope to have some luck with them. More to come later!!!

My 1st Watermarble

I first saw watermarbling on MySimpleLittlePleasures' YouTube channel and thought it looked awesome and wanted to try it. So this was my first attempt. I started with a base coat and 1 coat of China Glaze's White on White. I then used the White on White and OPI's Ogre-The-Top-Blue and What's With the Cattitude. I liked the effect but I do need more practice on it.

I've also got new polishes!!! Woo hoo!!! I also found some of the China Glaze's Tronica Collection at Sally's and they were reduced to $1.99. I also got the OPI Silver Shatter at Ulta and the ones out the Pirates of the Caribbean that I liked.

I have also discovered they are selling Zoya at Ulta. I hadn't ever seen this one there before but OK is the last to get things sometimes. I would like to try some Zoya polishes. Off to go roll around in my new polishes...ROFL!!!

Nail of the ehhh...

This one didn't turn out how I wanted it to...oh well. I used China Glaze's Princess Grace color, it is a sheer shimmery very light pink. I wanted a pink background for the design and was trying to decide between that and OPI's Mod About You. When I tested it out, I thought the black stood out better on the Princess Grace color...plus I was feeling rather royal...LOL!!! I used Konad plate m57 with Wet and Wild Black Creme for the fishnet design and then used the rose design off of the m65 plate with the Konad black polish. I was trying for a lace look and wanted the roses to stand out more but it didn't turn out quite how I wanted. I think if the fishnet had bigger squares it might have looked better...oh well.

Nail polish haul...

See the problem with sales on nail polish is that I have to buy a bunch....hahahahaha!!! BUT IT WAS ON SALE!!!! Sally and Ulta still had their buy 2 get 1 free deals going on, plus with Ulta I got $5 Ulta cash....just so I can perpetuate my nail polish collection...lol!!!

And the other problem with shopping for nail polish is that I never remember what I have so I am going to catalog my polish in Excel (I know, very nerdy). I think I got some duplicates. I need to figure out how to organize them a little better cause I'm running out of room. I got some Bundle Monster plates in the mail the day before last so I'm quite excited about that and now have some new designs to play with. I ordered some empty nail polish bottles off of e-Bay and got a bunch of glitter to play with. I'm going to try to make some frankens with them. Hopefully that goes well.

Last weeks NOTW
