It's been awhile, but I'm still here!

I've been busy this last month or so. I got out of a bad relationship. I got in a car accident and had my car totaled. I met a great new guy who is better and nicer then anything I could have ever imagined. I just got a new vehicle. It's nothing awesome but I like it. So with all that I have a little down time so I thought I would get a quick post up. Oh and I can tell I really like the new guy because I haven't done my nails a lot lately. My last polish stayed on for over a week!!! lol that's like forever. But I'm not complaining :) Oh to the polish...

I started out with a bast of China Glaze "White on White" I really don't care for this white. I have yet to find a white that I really like that has a good formula. I feel like "White on White'" is kind of a chalky formula, but I just went with it. I then used China Glaze "Gothic Lolita" to sponge over the top halves of my nails.

 Base 2 coats of China Glaze "White on White"

 Sponged China Glaze "Gothic Lolita" Such a wonderful polish. I love everything about it.

 I decided to top the gradient with China Glaze "Bling It On" which is part of a recent collection that I love. I love glitter toppers :)

 This is the purple of the collection.

 I think they look great and I love how they turned out!

Well that's it for today. Sorry about not really being around. I hope that as I get into the swing of a new relationship that I will start posting more again. I hope you enjoyed this post. Take care and keep reading :)

Disturbed Polish - Garbage Disposal

Edit: I have been told by Annette, the owner of Disturbed Polish, that she now uses a new base, so any mention of the smell in my posts regarding these polishes is no longer and issue. I hope that everyone gives this brand a chance because I think they are awesome, and everyone should own at least a few.

Today I have a mani using one of the Disturbed Polish's that I showed you in my last post. The first one I am going to show you is "Garbage Disposal" I love the names of these polishes as much as I like the polish itself. Take a look for yourself! Disturbing Behavior The polishes are $6.75, but will be going to $7 February 1st due to glitter cost. If you have any questions the owner is really nice. They also sell a few other things besides polish. There is jewelry and some various cuticle care items and lip balms.

Since this has just about every color glitter in it I couldn't decide on a base coat so I just used a white and a black polish. This is one coat of 'Garbage Disposal' I didn't have to dab or fish for the glitters. Application was great and had a pretty much uniform coverage.

I'm trying to use my macro lens more so the some of the pictures may not be the best, but you can still see the beauty of this polish. If really does have more colors then a rainbow!

It makes me think of those funfetti cakes :)

Disturbed Polish 'Garbage Disposal' 2 coats. The second coat went on great and I didn't notice any dragging or pulling. Plus it dried fairly quickly.

This is such a fun polish and I really can't think of a color it would look bad layered over. I like that once it dried it was pretty smooth. I did add a Gelous topcoat and a quick dry topcoat. I can't stand it when my polish isn't flat and smooth.

This is just awesomeness in a bottle!

I need to get a better set up for taking my macro shots. This was one of the best ones I could get. At least you can really see all the colors :)

I wonder how many coats it would take to be opaque? I love this polish, and I can't wait to try it over everything!!

Two last macro shots for you :)

I'm so glad I took a chance and got these polishes. I think they are so awesome and I think everyone should try them, even if you just get one bottle... I know you'll love them.

I know in my last post I said I was going to includes pictures of the mini bottle I got and the other item, but I think I will save those for their own post. Remember Disturbed Polish  is 3 free. Please go check out the store! Disturbing Behavior

I just want to thank every one for reading and following my blog. I hope you have all entered my giveaway, it ends on January 31st so you still have some time. Keep an eye out for my next post with another Disturbed Polish!!! Have a great week.

Sticks N Stones In The Snow

I don't know why I didn't think of this combination before. I love how this turned out. I actually wore it for New Year's Eve, but I didn't go out, but I did wok in the morning lol. I went out for NYE when I first turned 21, and after that I've always stayed in. I just don't like going out for the big holidays because every place is more packed and more expensive. Plus you have to deal with all the idiots on the road. So I just stay home.

This year I spent it with my mom drinking a bottle of champagne and watching The Walking Dead marathon! I love that show. My poor mom had never seen it so I had to explain what was going on, but it was ok since I like to talk lol. Ok anyways on to my nails.

 I LOVE Ninja Polish "Sticks N Stones" I really need to get another bottle. I don't think there is any polish this doesn't look awesome over. I started with my wonderful glue base, and then 3 coats of China Glaze "Glistening Snow" This is an awesome polish and it applies wonderfully. I should try and get a back up of this polish too if I can find one :)

 I then applied 2 coats of SNS over all my nails except my ring finger.

On my ring finger I applied 3 coats of China Glaze "All That Glitters"

This polish really makes me think of Mardi Gras lol

 I got the idea to layer this over GS from the sparse holo glitter in SNS. I think all the polishes worked well together.

 I think everyone needs to own SNS, it makes a great topper for just about any polish. Every combination I've tried has looked nothing less then awesome!

So pretty and full of sparkle! 

 I've been having issues with my nails breaking a lot, I've been considering investing in a pair of Custom Nails, but i want to do a little more research on them first.

Well that's if for now. Have you found any combinations using Sticks N Stones that you Hate/Love? Do you own custom nails, or been considering getting them? Please let me know in the comments below. I may not always respond but I do read every comment :) Thanks so much for reading and have a great day!

Walking Dead Holidays

Today I wanted to share a mani with you that I just did and am wearing as I write this post. I also have a few pics of things I've gotten recently.

First, my mani...

 I started a glue base like I did when ever I plan to wear glitter. I then applied 2 coats of China Glaze "With Love" which is a lovely bright red creme. It is a very opaque polish and I probably could have gotten away with just 1 coat, but I did 2 just because I can :) 

 This polish is from this years holiday collection Holiday Joy

 I then did 2 coats of All That Glitters "Walking Dead" I won this polish in a giveaway a little while ago and  I think this is my first time wearing. I love that this polish is named after one of my favorite shows. It's metallic red, white and black glitter in various sizes in a sheer reddish base.

 "Walking Dead" is a bit on the thicker side, I might have to add a little bit of thinner to it. It actually applied great despite being a bit thick. The pictures show 2 coats applied like normal polish. I didn't have to dab to fish for glitter, or place anything. 

 I like how it kinda muted "With Love" so it wasn't so bright. I think this is a great combo for this zombie named polish, but it also kinda works for the holiday season ") lol

 I think red polishes are one of the hardest colors to do clean up on. What do you think?

So next I want to share a package that I got on X-mas eve. When I got the box I had no clue what it held. It was a very kind package from someone in a facebook group I'm in. It's called a RAOK (Random Act Of Kindness) and it really was. I haven't really celebrated X-mas for the last few years so the holidays just aren't the same. This little box really meant a lot to me and made my holiday really great. I owe it all to Sam H. :)

 Everything wrapped and still in the box. After I read the card I decided to take pics since it really meant a lot.

 Everything out of the box.

 Everything unwrapped. I love everything and included a lot of brands I haven't tried yet. The scents are so yummy. This package meant more then anyone can imagine.

 Next up is my X-mas gift from my mom, even though we agreed we weren't doing gifts. When I said that her response was "But I'm your mother" lol My mom totally knows me. I LOVE Taco Bell and skulls. 

 She also got my favorite chocolates, Ferrero Rocher, and the sleep pants that i had recently pointed out at Walmart a few days ago :) The Eggnog taffy is open because I ate a piece before taking pics :) Taste just like eggnog, so good!

 This is what I won from a multi blogger giveaway. The blogger I won my prize from was The Do It Yourself Lady The only thing missing is the rhinestone wheel that I just realized lol. It was just clear rhinestones.

 The polishes are KleanColor "Holo Chrome," Finger Paints "Tough Art To Follow," Every Beauty "She Rock'd It!," and a min Zoya "Zuza"

  

 Lastly are a few Julep polishes I got I don't remember what the boxes are they came from, but I know 3 of them I got for free using my points for a free box, and a free add-on :) I love these colors!

Julep "Vivien," "Ivy," "Cindy," and "Harper"

For more on Julep nail polish you can find a list of all of their polishes here!! Enjoy!

Well that's it for today. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed everything. Have a great night!!

Scuppered and Angel Wings

I love accent nails, mainly because I hate picking just 1 polish to wear lol. I have such a hard time deciding on a polish when I don't have a mani in mind. I wanted to use one of my new Butter London polishes and I ended up picking another polish that I felt went along with it.

 

 I used 3 coats of Butter London"Scuppered" It applied wonderfully. It was opaque in 2 coats, but I decided to do 3 just because I could lol.

 

 The polish I used for the accent nail is China Glaze "Angel Wings" which is from the new holiday collection. I also used 3 coats for this one, and the formula was great. It dried a bit gritty, but nothing top coat can't fix :)

 

  

  I've heard that this is a dupe for last years "Ultamate Holiday"... which I happen to have (comparison at the end of the post for those interested)

 

 The top coat transferred a few pieces of the green hex glitter from "Scuppered" on to "Angel Wings" I just wanted to make it clear that this was not part of "Angel Wings"

 

 

Comparison

 China Glaze "Ultamate Holiday" and "Angel Wings"

 

 They do look super idetical in the bottles.

 

 Once applied to the nail I felt that "Ultamate Holiday" and a bit more sparkle to it then "Angel Wings" but other the that I think they are pretty dead on as dupes :)

 

I think if you have 1 of them that you really don't need to have both... unless your a crazy collector like myself lol

 

Thanks for reading and don't forget to enter my giveaway. I've had such a great response to this giveaway that I decided once I reach 400 followers (only 25 away as of this post) I will be holding another giveaway even if my current one is not over yet, so keep an eye out for that!
