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 ;)

New Year's Eve Nails!

Hey everyone!! Here I thought I would share two of my mani's I did using the New Years Collection!

My first mani is a reverse glitter gradient, which I just love! I used ILNP's All Gold Everything over OPI's   Honk If You Love OPI  **Honk Honk**

My second mani is ILNP's 11:59 over OPI's French Quarter For Your Thoughts. I thought this was a perfect color combo for NYE. It has all the right colors to go with that shimmery black dress and gold accessories :)

Well what do you guys think?! Any plans for New Year's? What will be on your lovely nails? Okay Okay, enough with the questions ;)

♥ Thanks everyone!

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?

OPI Oktoberfest + Bella = AMAZING!

Hello loves! How you guys been? Awesome? Spectacular? Just plain freakin fabulous? haha okay, enough enough.

Sooo I opened my store and have sold some polishes! I can't wait to hear the feedback :) It's pretty exciting!!

So I bought a few of the OPI Germany Collection polishes and must say I LOVE "Every Month is Oktoberfest" The color is such a fab color, I want to say its a burgundy with a little more maroon to it... make sense? Maybe not. hehe.

Now to match this awesome color I chose and awesome indie polish (mine) to apply on top. I call it "Bella". It's a nice combo of black and red squares and hex.

(OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest + Bella)

The picture above is with two coats and the one below is with one coat.

What do you guys think? Would you wear it?

I have an Etsy store !!!

Whoohooo! I opened up my first Etsy store! I sell my polishes I have been making. Eventually I will have the 'official' store up and running, but in the mean time here is my store!

         http://www.etsy.com/shop/PolishMePlease

Here is a little collage I came up with showing some of the product and how you can wear them :)

And so far I am getting a lot of love from my MUA-ers, Facebook-ers and hopefully my bloggers! Love you guys!

My New Hair!!

I finally went blonde... sort of ;)

So I finally did it, got some dang highlights. Originally I wanted to go full blonde with multiply highlights in different shades through out it, but my hairdresser said it would be too much damage to my hair.

Though I love the color, I HATE the length :( I had to cut off 6 inches! 6 INCHES! It took me about 4 years to finally get my hair to grow as long as I wanted it to. After a couple years of rocking platinum blonde, my hair would not grow for anything, or it would but would break off. I was stuck at shoulder length for a looong time.

So after going back to my roots, (brunette) I got it to grow pass the boobs! hehe. But then my annoying urge to go blonde ruined it all...

My hair was long, but not healthy. And definitely not healthy enough to bleach it, so she gave me two choices: Go long and brown, or short and blonde. I picked the blonde. *shakes head*

Another part of it, is the hair cut. I told her I was going to get it styled else where and for her to just cut off what she needed to. So she did, but I never went to get it styled :( So my hair is currently cut straight across! hehe

My bf did not like that at all! He said he would rather have had me with long and brown hair. 

So from my calculations, I should be back to my spot in 12 months! Fingers crossed everyone!

Oh and the nail polish I'm wearing is one I made! It's a teal glitter top coat applied on top of Milani Fresh Teal.

Until next time! Oh and I am building my 300 giveaway as we speak, or type. ;)

NOTD: Different Shades of Gray!

Me again! I've been exploring some more with colors and textures. Here I used a couple different greys or grays, which ever spelling you prefer ;)

I love the way the OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous applies. Nice and smooth with full coverage. I usually don't like that shade of gray against my skin tone, but having the other colors also on my nail made it work for me :)

Well here ya go! Let me know what you think!

Happy Memorial Day everyone!!!

New to Instagram!

Hey everyone!! Hope everyone is doing swell in the blog world! I know Im late, but I recently started to play with my Instagram :) I love the different filters you can use, it can make such a difference.

Im still a newb, but here is what Ive done so far!

Im loving it!! How are you all?!!

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!
