New Years Mani

Hey everyone!  I hope everyone is getting ready for New Years.  I know I've been searching every where for a dress to wear!   Today I have a New Years Mani idea that I might re apply, depending on what dress I end up with.

Essie School of Hard Rocks

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!   I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday.

I saw this color on someone recently and it looked sooooo great on her!  I had been eyeing it at the store for a few weeks after that and then I finally gave in and decided I had to have it!!

Even though it is almost Christmas and it's actually winter now, I used a color from the Zoya Summertime collection for today's post.

Stained Glass

I was sent a DIY tutorial for a Holiday Stained Glass Mani.  It looks soooo easy and definitely was NOT easy!

Zoya Audrina

HAPPY PINK WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!

I know what you're thinking... Audrina, from The Hills??  YES! Zoya came out with a Gossip collection and every polish is named after one of the girls from The Hills.  The only polish that I got so far is Audrina and I LOVE this color!

Scandalous

Hey Everyone!!!

Recently I saw one of my friends had this GREAT Deborah Lippmann polish that was a blue base with glitter and thought it was a color that I would absolutely need to find sometimes similar to.  A few days later I found a polish at Bed Bath & Beyond that looked like the same thing, but purple and was by Revlon.

Zoya Kristi

This is my 20th post!!  It's been so hard to be creative but I'm trying!!! I hope everyone has enjoyed reading and keeps coming back!

Even though I consider my 20th post a mini mile stone, this post is going to be very short!  For today's post I decided to just swatch one of the new colors that I received from a Zoya Flash Promo.

Essie LuxEffects

I am sooo excited to have another day off today!  I am hoping to make some time for trying out the rest of the new Zoya's that I got in the mail this week from the second Zoya Flash promo but since I was so tired due to the extra long hours I have been working, I decided it was time to try Essie LuxEffects on top of the Zoya Megan.

Zoya Flash Promos - A Girls Best Friend

Since I recently joined Twitter and started following a lot of nail brands I discovered that Zoya is having what they call "Flash Sales" during the whole month of December.  At any time they will post on their Facebook and Twitter accounts a new deal, usually saying

Ombre!!

What a great long weekend!! 

It took me a few days to give in and take off the dots from last week but I finally did it!  I loved those so much and knew that I had to do something cool to follow up...

Muppets Swatches

With the recent release of the Muppets movie, OPI released a brand new Muppets Collection!  I wasn't too excited for this collection when I first read about it a few months ago because there was a lot of glitters but after seeing this swatched on many other sites, and finally finding them in store I HAD to have a few of them.  I limited myself to 4, and after I got home I realized they were all in the same red family ... oh well!

Wow!  What a long busy week this has been.  I'm excited for tomorrow because I have a vacation day from work.  Too bad I still can't drive though =/

Lubu Heels

I'm still in my depressed "I'll never be able to wear heels again" phase, so I put the heels onto my nails.

Zoya Malia

What a crazy busy week since I went back to work!  Extra long hours = no time or energy to do my nails.  On top of that, I haven't gotten that much anticipated nail polish in the mail yet =/

Strawberry Fields Pink Wednesday

It's Wednesday - which means PINK WEDNESDAY!!!   When I was buying my first batch of China Glaze colors I picked this one up with a Pink Wednesday in mind.

I Juggle...Men

Hey everyone!

I'm expecting a much anticipated polish delivery any day now so I didn't want to do something that I would get attached to like the water marble.

Recycle Please

Even though I keep thinking it's Sunday - Happy Saturday!!  I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately I still can't drive and can't walk or stand for too long so I've been limited in where I can go lately.  I was able to talk my mom into taking me to Sally Beauty Supply to get my first few China Glaze colors.  In an eager attempt to use them and not wanting to only use one, I decided that today's look would be ..... drum roll please .....

OPI Ski Teal We Drop

It's been a long time since I've written - but I'm feeling OK today from my surgery and didn't have much left on my DVR so I got back to my latest obsession - my nails.

First Official *PINK WEDNESDAY!!*

In honor of my love for the movie Mean Girls, I added my blog to the list of blogs who participate in On Wednesdays We Wear Pink.  I will not be doing pink nails every Wednesday but I will try to do this at least once a month, of course on a Wednesday.  If you are interested in finding out more about On Wednesday We Wear Pink, click here.  There is also a picture towards the top right of my page with a live link to their website.

Still Touring America

What a great weekend!  Got to spend a lot of time with friends & family & since tomorrow is Monday & it's back to work I decided that I needed to do one more thing for ME this weekend!  It's only been 3 days since I did my last manicure but it was time for a change.  I stuck with the OPI Touring America Collection & used Road House Blues which is a very dark navy blue but is definitely one of the most popular colors this fall season.

Winter Nail Care Tips

I just happened to stumble upon an article on CNN about protecing your nails in the winter.  To read it click here.

Day 2

Today is the second day of my blog and I spent a lot of time doing my nails yesterday. I couldn't get anything to look good!  I tried a new matte polish that I got last week called Zoya Loredana.  The color came out very nice and looked great. At first I thought it wasn't matte but it was just wet. Once dry it looked great!  Only problem was that because of the matte look I couldn't use a top coat.  I was also unsure how many coats to put on so I did 2 and I think I could have stopped at one.

Welcome!

I hope you all enjoy what you see and if you would like me to post anything in particular please feel free to let me know.

UPDATE: I HAVE ADDED A TAB TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE PAGE THAT LINKS TO MY COLLECTION.  THIS WILL BE AN UPDATED RUNNING LIST.
