When it's sunny, I wear holos!

Morning guys. Sorry I haven't gotten to your comments, but I will this afternoon. My weekend was just packed full of fun.

Oh, and update on Junior, the baby bunny, he has been set free. He was eating on his own no problem, and when my friend went to put food in his cage, he went to bite. So in her eyes, he was ready to start defending himself. So her and her husband took him to a field by our neighborhood, and set him free. YAY, I'm just thrilled she was able to save him, now it's up to him.

My little girl gave me the sweetest note/poem for Mothers Day, I'll def try and share it with you guys tomorrow. Hope you all had a great weekend too.

Now for my mani, I did this Friday night since it was going to be so nice on Saturday, and that's when I love to wear my holos.

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze OMG





Then using tape, I taped off the triangles and used China Glaze DV8. Eeek, so me uh-oh on my ring finger. I was rushing just a tad too much, and didn't realize the tape wasn't down 100% oh well.

Black heart manicure

Hello My Sweet Nail Art Lovers
Some days u just get sad because of love, not like a real broken heart, but just a light sadness for something that might have happened but never did. And on one of days i did those nails - pink and playful but still with punched black hearts.
Sorry for not posting for so long, just took a brake from blogging, i sure do deserve one :)

Cadillac Nails....says Jack

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there!!!!

Let me just start off saying, that this mani is all Jacks idea. When he saw my new Urban Decay polishes, he grabbed this one, and said "oooohhh, you can do Cadillac nails, because it's just like the paint job you see on them."  Haha, he is too cute. So, I figured I would try it out.

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze White on White. Oh and as you probably noticed, I nubbinized my nails. They were just getting so long, and I was terrified I would do serious harm to them, and well me. I had already scratched myself and others numerous times, eeek. I'm also going camping at the end of the month, so I figured I will try and keep them semi short for the trip.


I then did just 1 coat of  Urban Decay Fluorescent. It really is pretty. Just the slightest pearlized color to it.


Hope you guys are all having a great weekend!!

a-England Polishes

Okay, so I know a while ago I said I wanted to do real swatches of these 2 polishes, but i never got the time, and actually forgot, but here they are. These are 2 polishes that I ordered online, because I saw a lovely ladies swatches on MUA. They aren't the in your face type of holo, but they do still have some. They are just beyond pretty IMO, and the formula rocks! If I had access to more sun, I could have shown you the holo bits, but I don't sorry :( You can purchase these here, if you're interested.

This is Lady of the Lake



and Tristam. Don't you just love thsi blue! It's so rich looking

2 from the Essie 2011 Summer Collection...

Morning :P While at Rite Aid this week, I saw they had all their Essies, B1G1 50% off, so I HAD to take advantage of it. I also saw they had put out the new 2011 Summer Collection, WHOO HOO. I only picked up two though, the others were pretty, but nothing special, IMO. Now these two.....stuck out right away. They are both 2 coats

Absolutely Shore




This, my fave is Smooth Sailing. I love the purple & teal shimmer in it. You can really see it in the 2nd pic in the bottle. It does show very well on the nail, I just had a hard time capturing it on camera :( Also, BONUS, this could have been a 1 coater if I would have been more careful. I love that

Silver Shatter

Anyone interested in getting silver shatter?

My Go-To Mani...What's yours?

Hey you guys : ) I wanted to share with you guys, the polish that I ALWAYS reach for when I have like no time to do a mani. Well last night I had to do this. I came home from work, nekkid, hee hee, and Jack, Chloe and I had to run out to get some dinner and ice cream, so I quickly threw this on. I LOVE this, it matches everything, always gets compliments, only 1 coat and dries UBER fast. So what is it.......China Glaze Millenium!

I did this entire mani in under 5 minutes, and left the house as soon as I finished, and grabbed  my purse. No dings and/or scratches. Now, I know it won't last long, since I didn't do a top coat, but as I know, and so do you, I will remove it in the morning, lol.

So do you guys have a certain polish that you always reach for when you're in a hurry? What is it?
