NOTD: Pastel Half Moon Mani & New Camera!

Hey you guys!! How have you all been?! Me, well I have been busy like crazy! As some of you may know, I recently released my Valentine's Day collection and now I am working on my Spring collection!
While I was coming up with some concoctions, I got inspired to do a pastel mani!

This was my first time doing a half moon mani, but I like it :) I used OPI Pink Friday, China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint ( though I think I got a bad bottle because it doesn't look like my other bottle of Re-Fresh Mint) and finally Essie Nice is Nice.

Also!! I got a new camera! A Nikon D600 with a 60mm lens :) I posted a picture on Instagram last night because I was so excited! hehe. So look forward to better pictures and new polishes!!

Thanks everyone!! ♥ ya ;)

NOTD: A Random Mani!

Hey Everyone! How are you all doing? Getting ready for the holidays? It sure seems like it's coming up quick this time, I haven't even gone Christmas shopping yet! I'll tell you what I have been doing though... my nails! hehe

Here's a random mani of mine I did a couple of days ago. I needed to do some more cleaning around the edges but ran out of nail polish remover! What? How in the hek?! I know I know, crazy. I had to do an Amazon order for my Zoya Remove +. What polish remover do you guys use?

For this mani I used: China Glaze Exotic Encounters, OPI Mrs. O'Learys BBQ, OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? (on our FB page I put OPI Berlin There Done That, wrong color, oops)  ILNP Little Mermaid and Color Club Matte-ified.

What do you guys think?! What's on your nails?

Have you tried China Glazes Holiday Collection yet?

Hey everyone! How was your weekend? Back to work already?! Yup, but that's okay, soon it will be hump day then Friday!

This weekend I was in San Francisco on a short visit to see my fam and noticed, not only that it was HOT in November, but China Glazes Holiday Collection has been out! I haven't been to Ulta for... a couple of days... so when I walked in I went straight over!

Me personally, I am still hooked on their Safari Collection, so I wasn't too eager to get into their Holiday Collection just yet. The colors looked nice and pretty and their gift sets have super cute packaging! I can't say much about them because I haven't swatched any, so I wanted to see if any of you have!

Have any of you bought the new China Glaze Holiday Collection polishes? Are they a Yay or Nay? Feel free to post a link to your swatches!

♥♥ NOTD: Hello Kitty Nails!! ♥♥

Hola! Here are my Hello Kitty Nails, I did them a couple of days ago so they are a little chipped...

What do you think?!

New Franken Polishes and Cheetah Print!

A few new Frankens and my first Cheetah Print!

Im starting to get the hang of this Franken stuff :) Just bought more glitters and supplies!

Nicki Minaj "Pink Friday" with my own personal franken "Little Mermaid" on top of ChG "For Audrey"

I call this "Black Cherry", it's applied on top of OPI "Black Onyx"

Here is my first Cheetah Print! I used ChG "Peachy Keen" , ChG "For Audrey" and random black. Did this with a toothpick! hehe

♥ What do ya think?! ♥

NOTD : China Glaze Peachy Keen

Hey everyone! Hope all is well and peachy! Hehe. Well it has been 2 weeks to the day with no makeup, though we have agreed that I can wear concealer under my eyes (super dark circles). But other than that! No mascara, no brow coloring (to match my new hair color) or clear gel to shape them :( But it's alright, only one more week to go!

Alright, enough of that and on to my NOTD: ChG Peachy Keen! I love this color, I think it is one of my all time favorites. The color is like a creamsicle, orange and cream mixed together oh so smoothly! Hehe. 

Some of my other favorites are:

• ChG For Audrey
• ChG Re-Fresh Mint
• MAC Liberty Blue India
• OPI Mad As A Hatter and so much more :)

Also the number ONE top coat ever! Is Seche Vite. I swear this stuff not only dries fast, but leaves such a nice thick shine that lasts! Ive tried OPI's top coat and wasn't impressed.

I also just bought a nail color wheel! I'm assuming that's what it's called. So now I will be able to show my nail polish swatches!

OPI Shatter NOTD

I finally got OPI Shatter! I know I was behind but I finally got it! Here I did random lines of ChG Grape Pop, MAC Malibu Peach and Milani Fresh Teal topped with OPI Black Shatter!

Hope you like it!

Have you guys noticed? Ive been updating more frequently! hehe

And NOTD

Oh and wanted to show my NOTWeekend :)

Im wearing China Glaze 'Jade is The New Black' and China Glaze 'Emerald Fitzgerald' on the one finger :) Hope ya like it! (didnt clean them up to well)

NOTD: China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint

It's been awhile! But I finally got around to taking a pic of this awesome color I love...among many others :)

Hope you all like it!

NOTD: Grape Pop & Hidden Treasure!

I did another NOTD and loved it so much that I wanted to show ya! Its ChG Grape Pop and SH Hidden Treasure together! Looooove it!

I finally got Hidden Treasure!

After days of searching, I found the last Hidden Treasure at a  local Walgreens! Even awesomER when I came home to tell my boyfriend, he told me he just bought 2 Hidden Treasures for me from Ebay! Awww the love :)

So anyhoo.. I decided to do China Glaze 'For Audrey' with SH Hidden Treasure

And here is the end result!

Ahhh the pic is maybe not the best, but the color combo is perfect!

Hope u enjoyed!
