You Better Catch Up!!! Days 16, 17, and 18

Warning: This is a long post with lots of pictures!!!

I'm a bad, bad, bad, blogger :( I've been slacking on the posting for the 90 Day Challenge. I've had a lot going on, but you didn't come here to hear me whine lol, so I'm just going to get on to the pretties you really came to see :)
Day 16 of the 90 Day Challenge
So first up is a polish I got in my recent swap, Models Own "Tropical Sun" one of the newly released polishes. It's a little on the sheer side so I used 3 coats. Next time I think I'll use some underwear :)
 I love the color. It's an orange with a golden shimmer to it. I planning on playing with some layering soon. I love to play with polish!


 I didn't notice the little bubbles on a few of the nails until I looked at these pictures lol, it wasn't really that noticeable on the nail though.
I'm very happy with this polish and I'd love to get the other two that were recently released at the same time as "Tropical Sun"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 17 of the 90 Day Challenge

Yesterday I went to the Dollar Store to find a small glass dish for water marbling... I went in for 1 thing and came out after spending $13.00 lol... Here are the nail related items:


 These polishes are so pretty and 2 for a $1 so they are 50 cents each!!! Awesome dea1! These two are "Midnight Sky" and "Teal-y Cool"
 These two are "Lavender Envy" and "Twinkle, Twinkle"
 These I saw and had to get them. I figured that if they don't work for franking then I can still use them for nail art. I have a few being tested right now to see how they hold up in polish.

The top ones are bar glitter and various shapes, the bottom row are glitter, bullion beads, and iridescent glitter. There was a 6th one but it was the crushed shells and I had no interest in them so I didn't get them. I'm thinking about go to pick up a few more for my next giveaway. Let me know if you want more pictures of these.

After that stop I went to Sally Beauty Supply for their buy 2 get 1 sale on the polishes. This is what I brought home:
L to R: Pink Voltage (neon), Celtic Sun (neon), and Into the Limelight (neon)
 Since summer is around the corner and the weather is kinda warming up, I decided that I needed some nice neons in my collection. 

 L to R: Burnt Orange, Molten Gold, Molten Copper, Purple Pizzazz
I just liked these ones :)

I also received nail mail from an ebay auction that I won.
 L to R: Icing Radio Super Star, Party Hardy, Glamourous, Lemon Cello On The Rocks
I got them for a great price, cheaper then if I had bought them in the store, even with shipping so Yay! Win for me!
I did try out "Radio Super Star" the blue and purple glitter were pretty, the starts on the other hand were a PITA, but if you can get them on your nails they do lay flat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 18 of the 90 Day Challenge
My first go at water marbling!!

So really it isn't my first go at it, but it was my first attempt that actually made it on my nails lol. I was having so may issues, but after I tried a glass dish it worked out a lot better. I was trying to get something similar to this:
This was done by Colette from My Simple Little Pleasures. How awesome looking is that? I love it. I tried to use similar colors since I didn't have the exact same ones. I used:
China Glaze - "Riveting", "Harvest Moon" "Smoke and Ashes" and Spoiled - "Pick Your Poison"

Mine didn't come out even close but I'm still proud of it :)
 Left Hand, the 2 darker nails are the first ones I dipped, so not that great, and you can't see the "bubbles" in person either
I love how my thumbs turned u, I just wish it hadn't gotten smudged :(
I got a bit better on the second hand. I dipped all 4 fingers in at the same times since it was getting late and I was getting tired. I should have used more black and red.
I do like how this thumb came out too. None of my nails really looked like flames so it was kinda a fail, but you can't get better at something if you don't practice. So I know what I'm going to be doing this weekend :)

Well that's it for now. I'm not current on the 90 Day Challenge. Don't forget to check out the other ladies participating in the challenge as well:

Triple Knockout

lol, so I've been lazy over the weekend and I haven't been posting for the 90 day challenge :( I'm trying to make up for this. I am going to be posting for Days 7, 8, and 9. I will make a separate post for Monday. Enjoy!!

Day 7 - The Pinks
So my mani for day 7 was done using 3 different pink polishes. I couldn't decide which one to use so I just used them all lol

I started out with 2 coats of Sinful Colors "Bikini"
 This picture is very close to the true color. It's a hot pink with a blue sheen to it. Very pretty... and bright :)


 I next added 1 coat of Spoiled "Shrimp On The Barbie" which is a light pink with golden glass flecks. When I added it on top of "Bikini" it brings down the bright pink a little and adds a golden effect.


 The last polish that I added was Spoiled "I Have A Confection To Make" which is a pink iridescent glitter. Looks like I added tiny jewels to my nails :)

I really like how it turned out. All of the polishes layer together really well. It was very pretty and much more sparkly in person :)


Day 8 - Under Your Spell

This is a basic mani. I used 2 coats of Wet N Wild "Under Your Spell" and on the accent nail I did 2 coats of Nicole by O.P.I. "Make A Comet-ment" It's pretty simple but it looks very pretty.

 "Make A Comet-ment" is very similar to China Glaze "Fairy Dust" but is much more dense.


Day 9 - One Day Without Shoes
So this isn't a mani but it is polish. I recently got a package in the mail. I had no clue what it was but it was a bottle of polish. I had signed up to try and receive a free bottle of polish from essie and Tom's I had signed up on Facebook. The polish is for One Day Without Shoes 

What is One Day Without Shoes?
The day we spread awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life by taking off our own. Why? Millions of children live without proper footwear, exposing them to injury and disease every day.


This is a limited edition polish 'Barefoot In Blue"
I was lucky enough to receive a bottle. I think the winners were chosen randomly. It's a very pretty blue and I will try to swatch it soon :)

well that's all for right now. I will now be working on my post for Day 10 :) Thanks for reading and don't forget to check out the other girls that are participating in this 90 Day Challenge.

Day 5 - Pink w/ Black Pokey Dots

I've felt like crap all day. Sick and migraine... not fun. So obviously I haven't really done anything today except lay on the couch and sleep with my fur babies. Here is a mani I did within the last couple weeks. I started with 2 coats of Spoiled "Tip Your Waitress" and with a dotting tool and China Glaze"Smoke and Ashes" from the Hunger Games Collection I added my pokey dots :) yes I say Pokey and not Polka lol here is the final result:



 Not sure why it looks more purple in this picture... but I assure you this is a bright pink.
This was my first time using my dotting tool for a full pokey dot nails mani. I like how it turned out a lot. I can't wait to try this with other colors.

A Black Mamba and a Club Rat walk into a bar... - Day 1

Ok, so it's not really a joke, but it is what's on my nails :) I didn't do a whole lot for this mani. Just some simple stamping today. I started out with 2 coats of Spoiled "Club Rat" and stamped a weird little skull over it with Spoiled "Black Mamba" and finished it up with OTD Northern Lights for some sparkle :) This is the final result





 Nothing to special but I like how it turned out. I'm starting a 90 day challenge with some other girls in a facebook group Never Too Much Sparkle. We are suppose to post something beauty related everyday for.. you guessed it 90 days lol. I'm really going to try and post something everyday. Most will probably be nails, but I've been getting some awesome shadows lately so there will be some eye looks mixed in there. It started yesterday so this will be my post for day 1 and I will do another post when I get home to count for today. Well wish me luck and keep checking back to see how I'm doing on the 90 day challenge :)
Keep me motivated!!!
Thanks for reading!! and don't forget about my Blog Sale

Multiple Hot Mess Mardi Gras Mani's

I really wanted to do something for Mardi Gras since I wasn't going to do anything else other then work. lol the ideas in my head looked great.... and on the nail they were a big ol' hot mess lol I did 3, and the last stayed on my nails only because I was to tired to try a fourth time... I used the same 3 basic colors for all three: O.P.I. - "DS Glow", Spoiled - "I'm So Jaded", Spoiled - "Pet My Peacock", and China Glaze - "Gothic Lolita" so here they are in all of their failed glory:

 I was trying to do some sponging... but it didn't look good at all. The big chunky glitter doesn't really help lol

This was suppose to be a gradient I guess, but it just looks like some goofy candy corn. So another failure in my book.

 I think if I hadn't added the black I would have been happier with this one. I decided to just leave it on since I was too tired to go for fail #4... I also used China Glaze - Golden Enchantment for this one.
 So this was just a big disappointment, but I guess if you don't try you never know how it will turn out... so i will chalk it all up to a learning experience.

I decided to give my eyes a try instead this morning since I'm a bit better in that department lol. The pictures are the greatest but I did my best :)
From the inner corner out I used Venomous - "Green Mamba", Fyrinnae - :Lucky Charmed" and Tick:Tock - "Methusela" and for the highlighting I used Fyrinnae - "Moon Child"


And this is the girl behind the blog... Me!! lol

So Happy Mardi Gras and thanks for reading. If you have any questions or comments please do so below. I hope to have a giveaway soon so keep an eye out for that :)

My Monday Lunch Time Haul

So where I work I get a 2 hour lunch Mon, Wed, and Fri. Most times I just work through it, but on Monday I decided to just do some bumming around. I went to Sally's, Ulta, Walgreens, and CVS. This is what I ended up coming home with lol..... Hey I had 2 hours to kill :)

First I went to Walgreens to get a few Sinful Colors since the are on sale for $0.99 this week. So I picked out these pretties:
"Dream On" - Bright neon Purple
"Snow Me White" - Just a basic white, nothing special
"You Just Wait" - Pink with a duochrome of green. I think It will look awesome layered
"Daredevil" - Hot bright pink, with a bit of a blue hue to it

One thing I noticed is there is another color, "Bikini" that looks likes a dupe for "Daredevil" I held the bottles up to each other and they looked the exact same... So not sure what it going on with that, but I got "Daredevil" since I liked the name better lol. I'm looking for a good white polish so I figured I'd give SC a try. I also picked up "Just You Wait" and when I got home I realized I had already bought it awhile ago... oh well.

 "Glass Pink" - A very sheer, sparkly pink
"Blue By You" - Bright blue with blue glass flecks
"Island Coral" - Light coral cream

I saw a swatch of "Island Coral" with "Just You Wait" layered over it... So pretty! To see it take a look at That's So Fresh's Blog

Also when I was at Walgreen's I saw they had the Nabi Magnetic nail polish display. This is the second Walgreen's I've seen them at. I snapped a photo of the display so you know what to look for:
The picture enlarges, so you can really see the colors. My phone takes really good photos lol... Anyway, I decided to pick up 2 more..
 When I first posted about these polishes I was disappointed that they didn't have names... Well I realized that if you carefully peel the sticker off the bottom of the bottle, they do in fact, have a name and a number. Granted the name are boring, but at lease I have something to refer to them as lol. So I pick up "Purple" and "Dark Gold" I bet someone had a tough time coming up with those clever names lol.
 I really liked the gold one because it looks like it has glitter in it... I can't wait to try it out.


Ok, So after Walgreen I went to CVS, I was still looking for a few more of the Spoiled polishes. I had a list of the ones I really wanted, I only have one more to go which is "Pet My Peacock" which I want mostly because of the name :) I did find 2 that I was looking for, 1 I just decided to try, and 1 I picked up and fell in love with:

 "The Parking Meteor Expired" - I fell head over heels for this polish. I want to get a back up bottle. One the nail it looks almost black, but when you look closer you can see a blue tint to it (like in the picture) and there are glass fleck in blue, green, purple, and pink. Pictures could never capture the awesomeness of this polish. Just do you and you collection and go buy this NOW!!!!  :)
"Correction Tape" - Just another white I decided to try in my search for a good white polish
"Deeper Dive" - Teal with gold flakes, and I've heard it is a dupe for Zoya "Charla" which I don't have but you can find a good comparison on glamonthecheap's blog
"My Saturn Broke Down"

That was all for CVS... On to Ulta....
 They had the new O.P.I. collection out so I grabbed the 2 I liked from seeing them on other blogs, and a random blue that caught my eye.
"Wooden Shoe Like To Know?" - light brown with a golden-copper shimmer
"Yoga-Ta Get This Blue" - A very pretty deep blue that I'm not sure how to describe
"Gouda Gouda Two Shoes" - Dirty rose pink with shimmer

Lastly I went to Sally's
 China Glaze "Some Like It Haute" FingerPaints set included "Curator's Crimson" and "Vintage Violet" and a small bag, China Glaze "Blonde Bombshell"

Both of the China Glaze's are from the Eye Candy collection. I couldn't remember which ones I had but since they were on sale I didn't care lol. I already had "Blonde Bombshell" so it will go in my swap pile:)

OMG! The FingerPaint's were a great deal. 2 polishes and a small bag for only $3. I was lucky :)

Well there you have it. That's what I did during my lunch. I do have a swatch for the purple Nabi polish, and I will try to get it up by the end of the week.

Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions or comments please leave them below. Have a great night!! Oh and here is a cute pic I found. Koala's are my favorite animal :)
Probably how my fiance is going to be when he sees this post lol
