Spoiled @ CVS

I've seen a few posts on other blogs about a new line of polish coming out from Wet N Wild called  Spoiled I've been going to all of the CVS's in my area trying to find them... Finally found them about a week ago. They were on a little display hanging from the side of a shelf. For more info on this product line please check out Nouveau Cheap's Blog. Well these are the 5 colors I bought when I first found them:

 L to R: Shaken Snow Globe, Bite Me, Show Me The Money, Distant Memory, and Black Mamba

2 coats each:  Bite Me, Distant Memory, Black Mamba, and Show Me The Money

 All of the formulas went on great with no issues. "Distant Memory" Is a bit more sheer and it could have used a 3rd coat, I didn't notice the bald spot until looking at the pictures on my computer,

 "Shaken Snow Globe" looks a lot like China Glaze "Snow Globe" I'll try and do a comparison soon. I love how "Show Me The Money" and "Black Mamba" look together.

The colors are great and so is the formula. I plan on buying more from this line.

Do you have any of the Spoiled polishes?

For Bitten & Dazzling Dimonds

Well Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all had a good time. I didn't do anything, like usual, I don't go out for New Year's because everything is so expensive, everywhere is really packed, and at the end of the night your on the road with a bunch of drunks, so I prefer to just stay home :)

I was to apologize for not posting for a bit. I've been fighting a bit of depression and am now on a new medication so hopefully it will help. Anyways, your here to see some pretties, not to hear me ramble :)

Today I have a mani I did using Ulta Professional "For Bitten" and Milani  "Dazzling Diamonds" I love how it turned out :)

 I love how this color looks. This is 2 coats. It almost looks like black, but it's got a red in it that looks like it glows from within. It is so beautiful. I almost didn't get this polish, and now I'm glad that I did :) The formula was great I didn't have any issues that I can remember. Sorry for the lack of clean up, not sure why I didn't do that lol

 Since I'm Miss Can't-leave-anything-alone, I added some bling to it :) I did one coat of "Dazzling Diamonds"

I think it adds nicely to it without making it look like too much. I really like the end result and I can't wait to try layers different stuff over "For Bitten"

Do you own either of these polishes? Do you plan on getting them?

Golden Beetle

I love "Beetle" by Hard Candy!!! I think it was one of the first polishes I got that got me into doing my nails more. It's so pretty and I love the color shift. It really makes me think of a scarab beetle and I love Ancient Egyptian stuff so this was right up my alley. I've had it for quite some time, but I haven't worn it in awhile. I thought it would be a good one to post about. It is still available to buy at Wal-Mart. It's pretty cheap too, I think $4! It's worth every penny!!!

So here are a few shots - 2 coats of "Beetle":

The main color of this polish is a purple and depending the the angle you look at it, it turns gold and sort of an olive green. It's gorgeous!!! And of course I always have to add something to an already great thing. I added China Glaze "Golden Enchantment" It is similar to "Fairy Dust" (which I use often) but it's gold... duh lol!

 I love sparkle and I think that "GE" really adds a lot to "Beetle" I feel like it gives it some depth and really catches your eye. I did 2 coats of "GE"

 Look at all the color!!

I also like that "GE" made it a bit easier to see the olive green - gold in the polish. I really love this color and I think everyone should have at least one bottle in their collection :)

Do you own "Beetle"? What kind of manis have you done with it.?

As always thanks for reading and please leave any questions or comments below. Happy Monday... Blah! lol

My first Julep Maven Box!!

I was able to use the code "Shareon" to get my first Julep Maven box for $0.01 and I got it a few days ago. I chose the "It Girl" box.

This is what I was shown I would get...

This is what I got...

 I got 3 polishes, a fast dry top coat and some glitter :) and the glitter is green!!! My favorite color!!!
It was meant to be lol

 The purple and sliver aren't that unusual of colors... but the third one...

 This one need it's one picture. It's so pretty and pictures don't do it justice. I can't want to use it!!!

The purple "Helena" was a nice surprise because in the picture it didn't look like a real purple I wasn't excited about it at all, I was happy to see it was more purplely (not a word lol) when I opened the box.

I was very happy with the items I received. I've already confirmed my January box and I'm excited for those colors too. Here is what I'm going to be getting...

I was so happy with what I got I also signed up with my mom's name :) I'm looking forward to that box as well :)

Have you signed up to be a Julep Maven? If you haven't you can do so here: Julep Maven

My one and only x-mas mani

I'm not one for x-mas. Too much has changed since I was a kid that I no longer look forward to it. To me this is just another day.... so yes... Bah Humbug!! Oh well that's just me. I kept it simple and just did a candy cane look. Here it is....

 I'm not sure what happened to my index finger... somehow I got a dent in it... maybe I went to bed to soon after doing my nails :( oh well, just ignore it lol if you can :)

 I love my wonderful striping tape that I got from ebay a couple weeks ago :) so much easier to do some designs. Now I just have to start playing around with my dotting tools :)

 My thumb.. it looks really weird shaped in this picture. I assure you I have a normal looking thumb, not like Megan Fox lol

These are the polishes I used for this mani...

WNW - French White Cream; essie - Marsmallow; Zoya - Sarah; China Glaze - Fairy Dust & Snow Globe

I did two coats of WNW for the base (I really need to find a good 1 coat white) then 1 coat of "marshmallow" (too sheer to use alone)  to even it out. I put about 4 strips of striping tape on each nail and painted 1 coat of "Sarah" to create the main color. "Sarah" is a awesome color. The formula is wonderful. This was my first time using a Zoya polish and I plan on getting more :)

I felt that I still needed something so I added some "Fairy Dust" but it still didn't look complete so I decided to try out "Snow Globe" and voila!! I have my finished mani.

Do you know of any good one coat white polishes? Have you done a candy cane mani?
