Thanks to you, I want to stuff my face!

I am forever browsing eBay for fun new polishes. I love finding ones, that I never hear about, and just love them in real life. This was one of them. While browsing through a sellers store, that I had already found some pretties to buy, I saw this one. I know it's UBER old, and from what I've learned has been spotted at some Dollar Trees, but it's soooo pretty. My Dollar Trees don't have squat when it comes to polish, so I did pay more for it, but not much, and nothing I wouldn't pay for a unique fun color, that I own nothing like. Oh and for some reason, unknown by me, I kept smelling my nails, my brain was convinced it was going to smell minty, and was highly disappointed every time, when it didn't, lol. In one word, this polish is def YUM, and did have me craving those Andes Mints.

I think there are some seriously cute colors here, loving the greens especially!  And it may be the supreme nerd in me that absolutely adores the name 'Iceberg Lotus'. Not sure why, but I find it amusing. 'Daffy Dill' makes me chuckle a little too. :-D.

When I get my hands on these, I'll try to get swatches up asap! :)


SPRING 2011 NAILS

My newest glitters from sparklesnailproducts.com











Essie French Affair

While on one of my trips to Rite Aid, I saw that they had a new tiny Essie display. Now, I'm not the biggest Essie fan. I'm not sure why, but I think that the $8 a bottle for not so unique colors is why. I can't even tell you guys my reasoning for grabbing this one, because it is in no way unique IMO, but I did, lol. It is a great pink though, and the application was great too. This is 2 coats of Essie French Affiar. Then for the tips I used Love & Beauty Grey.

Fault Line Crackle

I forgot to mention that before I removed Nubar Verde the other night, I did try China Glaze Fault Line over it. Now I have heard MANY say that it doesn't crackle as good as the rest of the China Glaze, but I didn't really experience much of a difference.  Here it is with no top coat.



and now with SV on top

WARNING - Nekkid pictures ahead (of stained nails, lol)

Morning! Remember how I told you all that Nubar Verde was not very nice to me or my nails. Well I just wanted to show you guys how I semi fixed it. As you can see, I kind of already fixed my pointer, before I decided to take pics, and share with you all. You can still see the icky staining on the others. I hope I don't gross you guys out, lol.

Well using my square purple buffing block, I lightly buffed my nails, and most of the stains out. Now I don't recommend this if your nails are thin or weak, but mine are fairly strong, so just a tad light buffing, doesn't really damage them.

Nubar Verde....It's magical!!

Well I finally own a Nubar. While searching eBay for some new polishes, I came across this. So I did what I always do, and googled imaged my heart out looking at swatches, and decided to get it. OMG, thank god I did, it's such a different color that's sooo pretty. I can't even describe the color, it's way to complex. I'll let the pictures say it all.

Oh but I will say, since my lazy butt didn't put a base on, it stained like crazy, grrrr. Well I'll show you how I semi fixed that tomorrow. Okay, onto the mani.

Olive You, Leopard!


I love weird leopard print color combinations, and this one is no exception. Its colors remind me of green olives with the pimentos in them, sitting in the jar waiting to accompany some poor schmuck's gin. 

I can't take credit for this color combination, to be honest, I saw a rug that had the pattern, and I adored it (I wish I had bought it!) so I snapped a picture knowing that it would find its way onto my nails at some point.  I love the 'gradient' (ok not so much a gradient as a color change) from the tip of the nail to the cuticle edge.  The color of the orange shows up really red in the pictures, but its more of a burnt orangey red in real life. I think someone needs to develop one of them so I don't have to mix it. (think Essie Alligator purse, but more orange than red)

Anyway, on to the nails- for now all I have are pictures from the iPhone, because my camera is MIA right now. Hopefully I find it tonight, so I can take a picture of them with a real camera before they get destroyed by acetone. :)  



I used American Apparel California Trooper> as a base, with American Apparel MacArthur Park for the green, and a mix of Essie Alligator Purse and China Glaze Life Preserver for the orange. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
