My World is Shattered

Hey all! I know I've been kind of MIA lately, and for that, I apologize! Things have been really hectic, and my work schedule just got more and more hours. I finally got to the point where I felt like couldn't keep up with everything in the way that I wanted to, so I decided to cut back on hours at the second job... from 35-40 down to hopefully 20-25 in addition to my 40 hours at my day job. I hope that in the next couple of weeks I'll get back on a more regular posting schedule, and I appreciate y'all being patient!! :-D

Today's nail art utilizes the super kickass new polish from OPI, Shatter! For those of you dear readers that were alive and interested in cosmetics in the 90s, you'll remember the Cover Girl Crackle polishes... this one is much better. ;-D I love that the cracks happen in the direction your brushstrokes go, so you can really play with it to make cool designs (I did diagonal on my thumb, and some zig zag when I initially tried the product (not pictured).

I also used the new Nicole by OPI Liquid Metals collection in this manicure!

I used Nicole by OPI Give me the First Dance (from Justin Bieber collection), with Nicole by OPI It Starts With Me, Nicole by OPI Miss Independent, Nicole by OPI Rich In Spirit, and Nicole by OPI The Next CEO sponged over it randomly. For the crackle, I used OPI Shatter in one quick coat. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Also, check out the awesome flowers my boyfriend sent me yesterday!! :-D It was a HUGE surprise! :-P

Polkie Dots with a Kick!

Yep, I said 'Polkie', lol. Now as you all know, I love polka dots, purple, scotch tape and matte manis, so why not do a mani, that has it all!!!! Here is the mani I did. I used Ulta Cocktails Anyone?, Sally Hansen Slick Slate and Essie Matte About You. I know I'm holding China Glaze's Matte Magic in the last pics, but when I was taking these pictures, that was on the end table, and to be honest, my butt was too lazy to get back up and grab the Essie, lol. Hey....I was tired and comfy, lol.

I started with 2 coats of Cocktails Anyone?

Then I did the polka dots with Sally Hansen Slick Slate and a Bundle Monster Plate

next I taped off half the mani, diagonally, and used Slick Slate again

Then for fun, I re-taped my nails, and added Essie Matte About You :)



Katy Perry, Simply Smashing, OPI Texas

Hello all !

My Katy Perry orders has arrived! I do have some spare sets as instocks, let me know if interested. Have 1 extra set of Simply Smashing as well. Will be attaching the picture below. I'm interested in ordering the Texas Collection, but I got to buy the whole set and I'm quite hesitant about it. If you'd like to share the colours in the set, email me! We'll see if we're able to collate and make up an entire set. (:

Katy Perry Shatter Collection - $50 per set

OPI Serena Glam Slam - $30 per set

(Limited Edition!)

looking for a sexy blue???

This is the other Sally Hansen Inst-Dri that I picked up along with Slick Slate. It's called Co-Bolt Blue. I'm in love *sigh*. It's soooo bright and glowy!!! I wanted to Konad with it, but decided to do a quick swatch for you guys first.

Here is my base for my mani, OPI No Room For The Blues, another great blue! Excuse the weird pictures. For some reason the camera INSISTED on turning my skin red for this. I took over 100 pics, and almost threw my camera, lol.

Then using a Bundle Monster plate, finished off my mani :)



Texas Collection

Good news! Texas Collection has arrived! I'll be bringing instocks, so grab them while stocks last. Will post the colours up soon. Stay tuned!

Slick Slate, White Cap & Essie Matte About You= BFF's for life!

Another day, I just couldn't let my mani be....lol. So while at Rite Aid,  saw 2 Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's that I didn't own, and I love these for Konading, so I of course had to get them. Plus I'm a sucker for the shroom colors. Well this is Slick Slate, isn't she sooo pretty??? Now, I know there are TONS of dupes out there of this color, but I didn't have one that I could stamp with?!?! I can't wait to try it out.

Okay, well, this is where the boredom started, lol. 2 coats of Slick Slate

Then I added China Glaze White Cap over top. BTW, White Cap was the only one I had any desire to get from that colection.

Then I added Essie Matte About You. What do you think?! I am really liking this!

my little nub is trying sooo hard to blend in with the rest of the group, lol.

Dawn...or AKA Daddy's Little Girl

If you're a jelly lover like me, then you need Sinful's Daddy's Girl. It's a beautiful deep/bright purple jelly with minimal glitter. The one in this mani does have a label that read's Dawn, but it was just a re-released color with a different name for Halloween 2010. I was tricked into buying both *shakes fist at Sinful*, trickery is not nice! This was 3 coats.

Older Manicures

Hello Sweet Nail-Art Lovers
I know it have been a while since my last post, but unfortunatly i had a really short nails for the past month, so didnt make as amny nail arts as usually.
Today i am posting few older manis, just so you wont forget me.

Rachel....This one's for you :P

So I received a very sweet email from a fellow polish lover, that asked me about trying Sally Hansen Celeb City with matte tips. She suggested I try it with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, but since I had used that one so much lately, I decided to grab Orly Matte Vinyl, they both look like a matte black, IMO. I just LOVE Orly's Vinyl collection! Here it is with Celeb City used as the base and as the tips :)

Thanks for the idea Rachel, and also for reminding me that I had Celeb City :P

REALLY...... %^$#@!*!@#$#

Sorry for the screaming headline, but OMG, I'm convinced my middle finger hates me, I mean really hates me! Just as it's finally growing out, I ram it into the corner of our coffee table!!! I never break any other nail, just that one. Grrrr.....

*deep breathe* Okay, anyways, for this mani I used China Glaze Tree Hugger, which has been in my untrieds forever and China Glaze Cherish for the Konad.

Here is 2 coats of Tree Hugger, I love the green shimmer in this so much.

and for the Konad
