Easter Nails 2013!

Hey guys!  Hope ya'll all (I know, I say it anyway.) had a wonderful Easter!  Before I get into the Easter nails, you remember in [this post] when I said the color totally gave me smurf fingers when I took it off?  Well, you'll be seeing those here in this post.  Kindly overlook them.  

Flip/Flop February Recap!!

Hey ya'll!  Sorry for the long absence.  Ya know, busy ...with... stuff!  Anyway, I thought I would do a post that recaps February's Flip/Flop Challenge.  It is VERY pic heavy - at least 28 photos!  So that's your warning.

Some of my favorites!

Flip/Flop February Day 24: Rainbow

Hey folks - I really wish I wasn't behind with this challenge but I am and it doesn't look like there is any hope of catching up before it's over... so I'm just gonna settle in.  lol.  Hope ya'll follow me to the end anyway!  For Day 24 we had the choice of Tissue Paper or Rainbow.  For me there was never any question which one I was going to choose!  

Flip/Flop February Day 17: Delicate Print

Heeey guys! My post is sooo late today!  Sorry about that - this weekend has been jam-packed and discombobulated... Anyway.  Today is Day 17 of Jilltastic Nail Designs Flip/Flop February 28 Day challenge and our choices were Delicate Print or Newspaper.  Now, I've been meaning to try the newspaper thing for a long time, but I had this idea in my head for delicate print, and I didn't have any newspaper, so decision made.

Flip/Flop February Day 14: Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

So today's challenge was Valentine's Day (duuuuh) or French Tip and I chose Valentine's Day.  Mostly because I have a bunch of heart/love stamps I don't really have the urge to use except for on an occasion such as this!  Here they are, my Valentine's nails:

Flip/Flop February Day 13: Sponging

Heeey yous guys.  Today's challenge was Watercolor or Sponging.  I chose sponging....the "easier" option, which I totally failed at.  This is one mani that I was not upset to take off as soon as I took pictures... 

Pink Roses

Hey everyone!  So I inadvertently took a 3 day hiatus.  Sorry about that.  I haven't had enough time to paint and get new material for ya'll.  PLUS - I have been trying hard to work ahead on a challenge I'm gonna be participating in in February that Jilltastic Nail Design is hosting.  I'm really excited about it because it's my first one!  Lots of new things I've never tried before on there...so look out for some really cool designs and some possible fails, lol.

Anyway - today I have a mani that's a few months old.  I mentioned in this blog post that back in October 2012 I wore pink for every manicure (until Halloween) that month for Breast Cancer Awareness.  This design is from one of those.  I had just gotten my Bundle Monster 2012 stamping plates and I was using them non-stop!

Zoya Zuza and some Stamping

Good morning evening ya'll!  I started typing up this post last night to schedule to post this morning, but I totally fell asleep typing.

Earlier this month Zoya had a "Color Your World" promotion where you could order 3 Zoya polishes for free!  All you had to pay was $10 for shipping and processing - so obviously I took advantage and got 3!  The colors I chose are Zuza, Daul and Nova.  Today I'm going to show you Zuza!!  I have been dying to get this color since it came out this past summer.  I kept stalking my Ulta, wondering when the crap they were going to get them and by the time I got there once they got them - Zuza was all gone!  And until the promotion, I never got around to ordering it.  SO... at long last... Zoya Zuza.

Christmas Mani #2 - Zoya Aurora

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE YA'LL!  

Today I have my second Christmas themed manicure - I had really planned to get to more of these but life is busy and on top of that I can tend to be somewhat of a scrooge...  In any case, I am SUPER excited about this one!  I don't know why I love it so much, and I hate that all of my pictures came out somewhat blurry, but I love it!  It's so fun and cute!  The main polish used here is Zoya Aurora, my final pick from the Ornate Collection!  Behold it's purpley goodness:

Layla Ocean Rush

Happy Hump Day ya'll!  (Ok, I'm sorry, I kinda hate that phrase, but I needed an opening line...)  

Today I have for you the totally AH-mazing Layla Ocean Rush.  

Go ahead and squeal.  I'll wait... 

Claire's Candy Shop

Back in October, before I started this here little blog, I wore pink the whole month for Breast Cancer Awareness.  This is my favorite manicure from that month.  I think.     

a-England Galahad

Happy Monday ya'll!

Today I have a manicure I did using a-England Galahad (from The Mythicals collection), and China Glaze Passion.  The formula on Galahad is perfection, as I've found with all my other a-England polishes.  I used 2 coats.  

On my left hand I did stripes with striping tape on my thumb, ring and pinky nails.  I used BM319 on my index and middle nails.  I LOVE striping and the way it looks on my nails in real life but I'm still pretty new to the technique and it seems like it takes forever to place the tape!  I usually decide it was worth it though.    

On my right hand I did the opposite, striping on index and middle and stamping on thumb, ring and pinky.  I wore this for 4-5 days because I loved it so much!  That probably doesn't seem like a long time to most people, but for me - it's forever!

Fall Theme: a-England Lancelot and OPI Warm & Fozzie

I'm back with my second post!  See, I have a huge "back log" of photos, because I've been taking pictures of my nails for a while now.  This is what I wore for Thanksgiving!

I got this idea from a manicure Cristina at Let Them Have Polish did for Thanksgiving last year.  Here's hers.  LTHP was the first blog I decided I needed to see all the time.  It's still my favorite, check her out!  More after the jump...
