Color Club 2011 Wicked Sweet
Wow, I had such a great weekend! My night with the girls was so much fun, my husbands cousin and his fiance came up to stay the night with us and their new baby boy, sooo cute, my daughter now has an imaginary pet ghost dog, haha, Max, and my husband built me a light box to take pictures with. So here are my first pictures using it. I know I still need to play around with it, and my camera settings, but I love it. So these look semi matte, but they are not, for some reason my light box makes them appear that way. I have an OTT lamp on the way to me :)
Okay anyways, here is the 2nd set that Kim from Color Club sent me, called Wicked Sweet. It's 7 scented neon polishes, and OMG do they smell, and sooooo good!! Since these are on the sheerer side, like most neons, I always do a coat of white first, then the polish.
This is Get Your Lem-On

Stuck on Me
Did you know that Barry Manilow wrote the Band-Aid jungle? Today's nails were the product of a suggestion by one of my coworkers, Erik, who noticed that I had a bandaid on one of my nails (it's my quick broken nail temporary fix until I can fix it for real), and thought it'd be a fun nail idea. So, today's nails are my interpretation of the strip of fabric with a beloved jingle, Band-Aids!!
I used Zoya Helen as a base, with Urban Outfitters Nude 3 to highlight, and Zoya Helen and Zoya Dea to shade and for the dots. (as the perforated holes in the plastic type of bandages) Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche vite top coat.
Are you stuck on band-aids?
Nail art examples that put my manicure to shame
Work has been taking it's toil on me. Assignments doesn't make it any better. As it is, I have 3 on hand on top of my crazy work schedule. I know there's been a lack of updates on this website. Sorry babes. I'll definitely be working on new designs soon I promise. Give me some time to settle my assignments..
I've edited the gallery, so you can now view the prices of each set of design. Thought that'd be easier for customers.
Was googling and thought this was interesting! Gotten it from this website -> http://forladiesbyladies.com/index.php/2009/04/13/12-extreme-nail-art-examples-that-put-your-manicure-to-shame/
Truly. Nail art examples that put my manicure to shame.
I can never have too many Holos!
YAY it was sunny out, so I again decided to reach for another one of my fave holos , Nfu-Oh 64. I also wanted to do something fun, since I might be going out for a girls night. I only have about 5 minutes to write this, it's again going to be short, sorry. I started with 2 coats of Nfu-Oh 64.
Then I decided to Konad over top, so I used my special Konad black polish. The only downside to this black, is it's a bisch to clean up, so sorry, but I was in such a rush to do this, clean up, take pics, upload, and write this post. I used the Konad plate M63
Alright, off to get ready, then decide if I want to go, lol. I know, kind of backwards, but better to be ready in case I do decide to, lol.

Color Club 2011 Starry Temptress collection
The very sweet Kim contacted me from Color Club and was so kind to send me both of the NEW Color Club Collections. This one is the Starry Temptress collection. Now just know that they are ALL REALLY neon, but it's so hard to capture on camera. I'm actually in the process of building a light box, to see if that will help. Anyways, on to the the collection. These were all great, and I always love Color Club's formula. I only needed 2 coats per polish, YAY. This set is six neons with glitter and a glitter top coat. I do wish the holo glitter specs you can see in the bottle, showed more on the nail, but the simple glitter that you see is still great.
Space Case 
Ultra-Astral
Glitter Envy
Otherworldly
You've Got Soul-ar
Here is a quick look at how the top coat Starry Temptress looks over each color

I'm such a fan of neons, especially in the summer. I am almost finished with the scented collection from Color Club, and can't wait to show you guys, because I'm seriously loving these. The ones I've finished, smell so good, and I think I might have already found my go to Summer pedi color!! *whispers* I'm wearing it right now, and have been for a few days!!
