Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

Here is Sinful Tapping Nails, two coats, with one coat of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. I have to wonder, what does Tapping Nails mean? Is it like how you tap your nails on a desk or something? :)

This one turned out very firey and hot! I love it.

I tried using Nail Tek II under this and had somewhat disastrous results. It was lifting at the corners about 8 hours after I applied it. :(

It's too bad because so many people love Nail Tek and I really wanted it to work for me, too!

Summer is here!!!!

This was my first sort of Holiday inspired mani of this season. I'm not ready for Christmas, winter, Thanksgiving, any of it really! It doesn't help that down here in Florida nothing remotely feels like Christmas or winter. I grew up in Michigan, so I'm used to cold and snow and I have to say that I miss it, especially when it comes to thinking of the Holidays. Anyway, this is Finger Paints Evergreen Dream topped with Sinful All About You.

It's Christmassy, no?

I love that the Sinful glittah has orange and gold bits. So pretty!

I didn't get around to taking any pictures of this outdoors in natural light, but I still wanted to share the glittery goodness with you. :) This mani lasted me a crazy long time, too! Nearly a week, if I recall. Wowza!

Hey everybody! I forgot to post these pictures yesterday of the same manicure I featured with the Urban Decay Meltdown, Sinful Daddy's Girl, and Sinful I Love You. They are taken in sunlight. Behold! The bottle pic is Daddy's Girl.


Bottle pic here is I Love You.

Here is a neat little combo I came up with using two colors from Hot Topic. They don't seem to have names, although I believe names are listed on their website. I started with a bluey, green, gray sort of duochrome polish. Looks cooler in the bottle, but still fun on the nails. I think I did three coats.

Then I topped it with bar holo glittahs - a polish in a slightly grayed jelly base.

It's kinda like a hairy peacock?! :D

I really loved this mani but it started chipping off in big chunks pretty quickly - within about 12 hours I think. :(

Maybe I'll play with my base coat/top coat combos when using Hot Topic polishes next time. Currently I've been using Sally Hansen Nail Quencher for a base and most of the time I use Poshe for my top coat.

I hauled today!! I got a bunch of Claire's polishes, three OPI Suedes, some others.....and.....*drumroll* the original OPI My Private Jet!!! WooooooOOHOOOOooo! I didn't think I would ever find it, at least not easily in retail. I also was able to use a coupon, so super score. I'm wearing it right now and will have pictures for you soon. :)

I have some pictures of two of the newer Urban Decay polishes, Grunge and Meltdown. Meltdown is a luscious purple with a fine glowy shimmer. I felt like adding some more, so I layered one coat each of Sinful Daddy's Girl and I Love You on top. I kind of wish I had done I Love You and then Daddy's Girl in that order because it seemed like Daddy's Girl had some subtlety to it that I Love You may have trampled over! Either way, it turned out beautiful.



This is Grunge, a blackish, blueish, greenish color with a hint of silvery frost. It is very, very cool!!

I'd like to see how it compares to MAC Beyond Jealous. I'm guessing they may be similar but with different finishes.

I'm definitely looking forward to trying the other colors in the super cute Apocalyptic kit. I wonder if Urban is going to continue to make nail polish? I'm hoping this kit heralds the return of a core line!


This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
