China Glaze Blue Sparrow

Hi everyone! I have been loving neons lately despite the snow, and today I wanted to share one that I picked up awhile ago, China Glaze Blue Sparrow. Why did I not get this one earlier? What was freaking wrong with me? This blue is so bright and so gorgeous! I love the sparkles in there too, it really adds depth to the color. This color applies well and dries very quickly, but again I had the same problem I had with Flying Dragon, it chips very easily on me, even with a topcoat! A lot of you did not have this problem, so I am thinking that something about my nail chemistry that doesn't like neons. I am still going to rock this color anyways! Do you have this color, do you love it too?

Thanks!

Nail Art: Neon Stripes!

Hi everyone, today I actually have a manicure for you, yay! Now in case you don't know, it is freaking snowing here again. In fact it is going to snow all week. So to will the bad weather away, I decided on some brighter nails. Now please ignore the horrifying cuticles, it's finals time and I am a chronic cuticle biter. And please ignore the indoor picture because the weather outside is terrible and I can't get god lighting. :( Do you like the new nail shape though? I am not really sure about rounder nails yet, we'll see. I used Sinful Colors Jamboree and Art Deco Bright Orange. I just did stripes, but I like how I varied the stripes. Can you tell I ran out of ideas when I got to my pinky lol? What do you think?

Maybelline Two-Timer

Hi everyone! Today I bring you an old school Maybelline that I found at the dollar store. I looked through all of the colors there and wasn't impressed, but this one caught my eye and I snatched it right up! This is a gorgeous frosty light blue with a violet flash in the bottle, although it doesn't really show up on the nail well. This polish stinks though, defintely not big three free! It is beautiful though, I really want to use this next winter for snowy manicures and nail art! Do you love this too? Did you make a dollar store haul to snap up some of these old Maybellines?

How About A Kitty?

Hey everyone! I am again sorry that I have no manicure today, I am still really sick and the smell of nail polish remover has been making me very dizzy. So I hope that you forgive me, and enjoy a picture of my kitty instead. Doesn't she look cute and kind of scared lol? Lately she has been kind of sick, and I can't go and see he.r I am hoping that she will get better soon. My mom is going to take her to the vet very soon. She hasn't been cleaning herself properly and she has been using the area just outside of her litter box instead of the litter box; which is very strange for her. Anyway, there will be a nail swatch tomorrow and hopefully I will feel ok enough to have a manicure for you all on Thursday, have a great day everyone!

ELF Pearl

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a swatch from the ELF Royal Trio and today's swatch is Pearl. I have never owned a frosty white color before so this one I think will be fun for funky frenchs, but I definetly don't like the look of it alone on my nails! It is kind of sheer, this was two coats. It was kind of streaky as well; but what do you expect out of a frost? I must say though, that for $1 this is a mighty good polish! I hope that I can find good use for it!

Another Random Update!

Sorry about no manicure again guys, I have not been feeling well. My cold has gotten a lot worse, I feel like my lungs are going to collapse and my throat could sand wood. I can barely even talk lol. I sound like a frog.....ribbit ribbit.

Anyways, I really want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday, I really appreciate the good thoughts and well wishes! Also, thank you to those who wished that I felt better, hopefully this cold will go away very soon so I can focus on my studies, finals are coming up fast! And once they are done I can finally catch up on my blogging, I feel so out of the nail blogging loop! So much so that I have not bought nail polish in almost two months! Hooray for successful no-buys! Don't worry, I still have a couple of week's worth of nail polish swatches for you all lol!

My birthday went really well for those of you who wanted to know. My boyfriend took me to the local aviary and we got to see all of the cool birds. I even found a duck who thought himself a flamingo! I saw him stand on one leg and try to go to sleep; someone's been spending too much time in the flamingo pond lol. I wish that I had thought to take a picture of him, it was precious!

I can't believe that I forgot to mention it on this blog, but I featured fellow nail blogger Toxin's awesome bridge piercing on my other blog Playing With Piercings, you should check it out if you are interested! I hope that you all are having an awesome weekend!

OPI Mad As A Hatter

Hi everyone! I know that this color came out awhile back and I swatched this a long time ago, but I am wearing it right now because today is my birthday! Yay! I couldn't think of a better color in my collection to wear for my 20th birthday. Sadly I don't really get to celebrate because finals are approaching fast; but at least I can wear fun polish right? I love all of the different colors in this polish. It applied well after 3 coats and of course it is a huge pain to get off. I have to use 100% acetone with this stuff lol. But it is completely worth it! What polish will you/did you wear on your birthday?

Sorry Everyone, No Nails Today!

Hey everyone! I would normally have a manicure of some sort for you today, but alas that is not going to happen. The end of the semester is really kicking my butt. I have been running 90 miles an hour all week long and I just didn't have time to do cool nail art. I have been wearing China Glaze OMG all week and it has held up pretty well though!

My nails are also in really rough shape, which is part of why I don't want to take pictures of my nails. I have been biting my cuticles again with the stress of school and I have an infected cuticle because of it. I have also been having nail strength troubles, so much so that I changed the shape of my nails. As much as I love having sharp square nails, the corners keep breaking off at a ridiculous rate, so I rounded my nails and I am kind of afraid to show you guys lol.

I also had the worst day in a long time for me yesterday, plus I am totally sick to boot. Sore throat, sneezing and coughing; not fun. So yeah, sorry about no nails today. I do have a fun post tomorrow and I will try to come up with a manicure to show off to you all for Sunday. Have a great weekend y'all!

Essie Cute As A Button

Hi everyone! Today I bring you a swatch of Essie Cute As A Button, which I believe came out with Essie's Summer 2009 collection. I got it on super clearance at Trade Secret, yay for super clearance! This is a lovely color for summer; I will probably rock it a lot this coming spring and summer. It is a beautiful pinky-coral color that is a little sheer. This took about 3 coats to acheive almost no visible nail line.

I have never really tried Essie pinks before, although I have a couple of other Essies from before I got this one. This wasn't as sheer as I thought it would be, I have heard nightmare stories about some Essie pinks. I really like this color, do you as well?

NOTD: Missing Royalty

Hi everyone! Today is a simple combination of ELF Royal Purple and Sinful Colors I Miss You. I have been loving the nice weather of late, but it looks like it is going to snow either today or tomorrow. :( I really wish that it would just stay warm; I feel like the weather is reflecting my mood. So I am just going to be depressed over the next few days; fun times. I hope that you all have an awesome day though! :D

Nailene So Natural Nails

Hey everyone! Today I want to review a product that was sent to me by Nailene*, their So Natural nails.

Now to be honest I am not sure if I will use these again, I am actually quite torn. The nails themselves are fabulous. I wore these over about the period of a week and I didn't have any nails snap corners or anything. I actually ended up painting over them because I suck at applying them and got air bubbles, and that nail polish did not budge for a week; I had two very minor chips. The nails are very durable and look very pretty.

My main problem was with the glue. I don't think that it is Nailene's fault, I think that my nail/body chemistry does not react well to glue. My biggest problem was that my nails were falling off when I would pick things up, like my computer. I wasn't washing dishes or pulling weeds or anything.

Now to explain, I decided to test this set out while I was at that conference I had a couple of weeks ago. I put on the nails the night before, and had one fall off at the airport. Of course I didn't think to bring the nail glue with me, so I bought super glue. Even freaking super glue could not keep these nails on for me. I lost count of how many times nails fell off, it was at least a dozen times, some fingers multiple times. I used up almost whole tube of super glue. I tried lots of glue, I tried a little glue; I just could not get these nails to stick to save my life. I also learned that I can very easily peel super glue off of my skin after it dries, which is really weird. This has got to be a body chemistry thing lol.

So to sum it all up, I actually probably will not use fake nails ever again because they just don't stay on for me, again I think that it is more a consequence of my body chemistry than anything else. These nails however might work for you, the nails themselves are fantastic in my opinion and are definitely worth a shot. :)

* This product was sent to me by Nailene for review. For details of my Disclosure Policy, please see the tab labelled as such at the top of the page.

NOTD: Glitter and Neon!

Hi everyone! Awhile back I tried to do this combination to spice up China Glaze Blue Sparrow after it totally chipped on me. I kind of like how weird it looks, I don't know. I will call it "unusual", fair right? The silver glitter is Art Deco Silver Glitter. I will say that it saved me a lot of time from re-doing my nails because I had places to go and things to do! By the way I am loving Blue Sparrow, do you love it too?

Essie Rose Bowl

Hey everyone! Today I am bringing you a swatch of a really fun color that I found in a mini! This is Essie's Rose Bowl, and I really like this color a lot. It is a very dark pink; almost red but not quite. It is also very pigmented; I am used to sheers from Essie but it was essentially opaque in one coat, I only did two for good measure. I got a very even application with a decent drying time and I just love this color. I don't know, I can't get over it! To me it just screams summer, which is on my mind since the weather where I am is finally getting really nice. What is your favorite dark pink color?

NOTD: Dark Flakie Ocean!

Hi everyone! Awhile back I remember that a lot of you suggested putting Sinful Colors Green Ocean over a black, so I did! It looks SO FREAKING COOL! The picture doesn't do it justice, really! I put 3 layers of Green Ocean over OPI Black Onyx and it is stunning, it is like my nails are the bottom of the ocean. I did notice that I got tip wear very quickly and it chipped easily, but that may have been because I put on so many layers of polish. Have you ever tried layering a flakie over black? How did it turn out for you?

Pink Skittles!

Hi everyone! I have accumulated so many pinks lately that I thought I would compare them all for you side by side! From thumb to pinky they are Essie Castaway, Coral Colors Shade 4, Essie Forget Me Nots, OPI Fuschia Fling, and Sinful Colors Jamboree. I thought that the OPI and the Sinful would be a lot closer in color as they look like the same color in the bottle, but they are very different on the nail! Do you like the idea of me doing this type of post with more than just pink?

NOTD: Light and Pretty

Hi everyone! Awhile ago I felt like having a french manicure, so I put on China Glaze Light as Air and Nailene French Tip Pen in White Pearl to create this one. It definetly makes me think of spring and lately I have been loving the pastel trend. I like how it turned out but it is definitely missing something. I think it needs a design or some glitter, it needs something to make it special. What do you think I should have added to it to make it awesome?

CHI Hot Ring Illusion Around Saturn

Hello everyone! Did you know that CHI makes polish? Yes, the same company that makes those famous hair straighteners and other hair products also bring you "Ceramic Nail Laquer". Don't ask me what that means, because I don't know. This is the last polish from the lovely Kellie from Also Known As that I am reviewing from our awesome swap. When I first saw this polish, I immediately thought of my Australis Emerald Star nail polish, they look very similar in the bottle. The colors are very similar, but the Australis is definetly a duochrome whereas this one only has a slight shimmer of green in the teal.

It applied alright, this swatch took three coats and turned out nicely. It dried a little slowly but other than that it is a nice polish. I *think* that you can find these at Ulta, but I am not entirely sure. Have you tried any CHI polishes? Did you even know that CHI made polish?

Nail Art: 80's Night!

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a fun manicure. I was actually just playing around with my polish and I kind of stumbled upon this, and I really like it! It totally reminds me of the 80's. Although I never personally experienced the 80's I sure love the neons and glitter that were quite popular during that time. I used China Glaze Flyin' High, Art Deco Intense Pink, and Art Deco Gold Glitter for this mani; does it remind you of the 80's too?

8ty8beauty spree #36 - On the way!

Tip Toe Gold Rush

Hello everyone! Today I am bringing you a polish from Old Navy that I got from Kellie at Also Known As in a swap. It looked really cool in the bottle so I picked it out!

This polish firstly is very sheer. This was only two coats, but I don't think that three would have cut it either. It took ages to dry, but this is one of the most interesting colors I own! It is a beautiful gold in a green-ish gold base. When it separates, it separates into gold and a dark green. It is very shimmery and olivey. I like it, but I feel like I won't wear it that often sadly. I do love it though! What do you think of it?

Nail Art: Pink Palm Leaves!

Hi everyone! It's a quick post today, I am on my way home from my conference, which was really fun! So this is China Glaze Re-fresh Mint and the stripes are Art Deco Baby Pink, I really love how it turned out, it looks like Pink palm leaves! I was very pleased with my placement with the stripes, I think that I might be getting better at using them! I love the pastels too, it reminds me of spring! What do you think?

Asia Fashion Wholesale Spree - CLOSED

Swatch Spam: Darks

Hi everyone! Today is the last installment, but I am bringing you the darks. Enjoy ladies!

OPI Big Apple Red

OPI Bogota Blackberry

Sinful Colors Burgundy Apple

OPI You Don't Know Jacques

NOTD: Jade Ocean

Hey everyone! I have decided that I love this combination. This is OPI Jade is the New Black and Sinful Colors Green Ocean. The flakies don't show up terribly well in the picture, but it looks great in real life. The colors really coordinate well together, plus the fact that I love flakies. What is your favorite flakie nail polish?

China Glaze 5 Golden Rings

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a polish that I picked up on clearance at Sally's awhile back from the 2009 Holiday collection! It is a beautiful sheer gold glitter; this would have been perfect for Christmas. I love it though, I want to try layering it over other polishes since it is so sheer. It dried well and wore well, but it was a little bit of a pain to get off since it was a glitter. Did you pick up this polish? Do you like it too?

NOTD: Studded Sparkles

Hello everyone! Today I am bring a rocker manicure to you. I recently rediscovered OPI My Private Jet in my collection and I had to use it. The studs are from a Nailene sticker pack and I thought that they were pretty appropriate with this color. I loved wearing this around all day. In case you are curious, I have the teal-flash version (version 3 I think?) of MPJ. What style of manicure have you been rocking lately?

As you are reading this, (I scheduled the post to show up at the same time I take off because I am a nerd like that) I am on an airplane to the great state of Michigan for a conference. Because this conference is 5 days long and is going to keep me very busy; I will not be very able to answer questions and comments until Sunday. I will do my best. Don't worry though, because I will still be posting like I normally do, I scheduled them ahead of time. Just be aware that I will not be checking the blog as often as I normally do. Just wanted to let you know!

Parlez-Vous OPI?

Hello everyone! Today I am showing you a polish that I had been lemming for awhile because I am a complete sucker for purples. Isn't it purty? Parlez-Vous OPI? is a medium creamy and slightly dusty purple color. It goes on opaque in two coats and has a great formula. It was very easy to apply. For some reason I just really love colors from the France collection, and I am glad that they have been available for so long! Now, do you have this color and do you love it as much as I do?

Nail Art: Pink and Gold Plaid

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a fun manicure that I did. I was in a nail art mood and I wanted to break out my Art Deco polishes. I did this using Wet 'n Wild Shield, and Art Deco polishes in Baby Pink and Intense Pink. I was surprised at how straight I managed to get the lines to be, as I have pretty shaky hands. I got a lot of comments and compliments about this design when I wore it to class. Do you like it too?

Goodies and Kitty!

Hi everyone! I first want to start out by apologizing. I have been super busy and I have not been able to comment on blog posts for the past couple of weeks. Sadly this will probably continue for at least a few more weeks. Between this week-long conference and the abundance of homework and studying that I need to do for the end of the semester (which is coming up way too fast!) finding the time to read everyone's blog posts is just not going to happen. I feel really bad because I have always tried to read everyone's posts, but I just don't have the time right now. Once this semester is over I will be able to get back on track, I promise!

In other news, I recieved a package two weeks ago that contained my prize from The Wizards of Bling giveaway! I picked the two Sally Hansen polishes, Star Opal in Rose Gold Opal and Fire Opal in Earthen Opal, theyy are so pretty! And it came in the cutest bag and heart-shaped tin, thank you ladies! I can't wait to try them out.

Next I am going to share a picture of my kitty! This is my kitty at home, and her name is Chloe. We got her from under my aunt's porch about 9-10 years ago when she was a kitten. We lured her out with ham lol. I don't know why she looks so wide-eyed in this picture because she usually isn't. Oh and that fur thing behind her? That is her rabbit fur, she LOVES playing with it. She throws it around and stalks it and hunts it lol. She was never much of a jingle-toy or ball cat, she much prefers toy mice, catnip, and fur. She also weighs a lot for a cat, I think she weighs in at about 19 pounds. Yeah, that is not all fur! She is such a sweet kitty though!

Art Deco: Red, Red Glitter, Bright Orange, and Intense Pink

Hello everyone! Today I am bringing you a review of several Art Deco polishes.

The first on, which you may remember I used quite a bit during my Valentine's Day series, is Art Deco Red. This is a great red striper polish, it is a really classic primary red color and the brush is super long, skinny, and easy to work with. The formula applies very easily and is opaque in one swipe.

The next one is Art Deco Red Glitter. This is such a lovely glitter, this one has a red base color unlike the metallic glitters that have clear bases. This is kind of like the striper version of China Glaze Ruby Pumps, I love it!

The next one is Art Deco Bright Orange. This is an awesome neon red-orange color that I think will be great for summer nail art designs. This is a beautiful color and I can't wait to use it!

Last in this post is Art Deco Intense Pink. I could not get this polish to show up true to color because it has a lot of purple tones, so I apologize. In real life it is much brighter and much more neon, like a dark pink highlighter.
 
Do you buy stripper polishes? What brand do you use?

Nail Art: Messy French

Hi everyone! So today I am going to share a strange manicure. So I was trying to use Nailene tipguides to create a pink and black manicure (OPI Tutti Frutti Tonga and Nailene Black French Tip Pen), but I forgot to push down on the sticker to seal it to the nail, and this happened. At first I was kind of upset, but then I realised that it actually looks kind of cool! I like the messy french, it makes me think of something you might see on the runway. It's wild I suppose? What do you all think of this look?

ELF Dark Navy

Hi everyone! Out of all of the ELF polishes that I got, this one is my least favorite. I was expecting a lovely dark navy out of this, like OPI Russian Navy without the shimmer? Nope, didn't get that. This looks black on the nail. Like jet black. Only in the first coat can you tell that it is blue, but you really need a second coat with this polish. I liked the formula and it applied fine, I just am not terribly impressed with the color.

NOTD: Sparkling Clouds

Hi everybody! Today I am bringing you just a simple combination, this is Sally Hansen Opulent Cloud under a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust, and I really like how it looks. Duochrome + Glitter = Win! I love it! I got a lot of compliments on this combination. Do you like how it looks too?
