Don't Paint Your Nails While On Sleeping Pills!

For those of you who don't know, I have trouble sleeping just about every night, so I recently started taking sleeping pills. They helped a little, so I decided that maybe a little drink at night would help some more. It works I sleep great..... but sometimes I don't remember things. :) And sometimes I paint my nails and have no knowledge of it in the morning. The other night this happened to me. I find it even funnier then usual because I guess I thought they looked really good so I took some pictures.... Yeh not so good lol.

 

 I have no idea how many coats I used, but the base coat is Spoiled "Tip Your Waitress" I vaguely remember starting this mani, but I remember using the other color as the base... not sure what happened lol

 The darker purple is W7 "Metallic Mercury"

 Gotta love the "great" clean up job I did. These are the nails I woke up to, and the photos were time stamped 1:30am. I took my pill around 10:30... so yeh I guess I had a fun night, I also topped it off with eating some cookies and milk :) I was able to piece most of the night together from looking at the aftermath. I had cotton balls and brushes all over.

 

All in all I did like the look of this mani, so I decided to re-do it with out a sleeping pill in my system :)

 

I used 2 coats of Spoiled "Tip Your Waitress" which is one of my favorite hot pinks :) It's a great formula and the it is opaque in almost 1 coat.

(please excuse the tip wear)

 

 After the pink I used a coat of Northern Lights and then waited a few minutes to make sure they were all dry. I then used striping tape to create the "V" shape on my nails.

 Using W7 "Metallic Mercury" I painted two coats inside the striping tape.

 After I removed the tape I finished up with a coat of Seche Vite

 

Bonus Pictures

 I also found these photos on my camera the morning after lol. They are nice shots of "Metallic Mercury" If you look at the bottom on the bottle you can see the color shift.

I think this is a great color and the formula is great to work with.

 

Well thanks for reading and I'll let you know if I wake up with any more surprise nails :)

 

As a quick note I just want to mention that I do not abuse drugs in anyway. I do have horrible sleeping issues and I am still trying to find what works for me. I would never ever take my medication and drink unless I was safe and at home, and I do not drink in excess, I have one Malibu and coke. I just wanted to say this because I know the thoughts that can go through peoples heads. I know that I seem to joke a lot in this post, but I know that I was at home and that I was safe. It was scary the first night I woke up and couldn't remember going to bed.... ok I think I've gotten my point across, or at least I hope I have.

 

Thank you for reading and please be safe no matter what your doing. Oh and please keep your eye out, I will be posting a giveaway shortly :) Thanks!

Nerd Alert: Sticks and Stones

This is a shortish post, but I've been wanting to share it. These are two polishes that I just love, I even made a ring to match this mani :)

 I started out with 2 coats (maybe 3 lol) Wet N Wild "Nerd Alert: Screech" which was from the Saved By The Nail Collection. I use to watch Saved By The Bell so I made sure to get this collection.

 I layered 2 coats of Ninja Polish "Sticks and Stones" This is the only indie polish I own and it took me months and tons of swatch pictures to finally break down and buy it.

"Sticks and Stones" has looked beautiful over everything I put it on, but I really love this combo since green is one of my favorite colors, So I'm just loving this mani!!!

One thing I never noticed in all the swatches I saw was that there is a sprinkle of holographic glitter mixed in, and I think it gives this polish a little something more.

If your like me, and you don't normally lean towards indie polishes, I highly suggest that you get this polish. I don't think any collection is complete without it.

Well that's it for today I hope you liked this post. Please remember to follow me if you aren't already. Thanks for reading!

Shredded Orange!

This is a simple mani that works for the season and for Halloween. No nail art abilities needed. And it looks so pretty! Please excuse the crap clean up. I usually do my nails at night and since it was getting late and I was getting tired I kinda slacked on the clean up...but I still think the end results are nice :)

 

 I started with a glue base, and then 2 coats of Collection 2000 "Hip Hop" It's a bright orange and the formula is pretty good.

 

 I then added 2 coats of Spoiled "Vitamin C" I was going to just use this polish as the base but I realized that it is a very sheer polish that really needs underwear. I find it to be a beautiful color. It's a nice bright orange with a very strong gold shimmer.

 

 Sooooo Beautiful!

 

 Sorry for all the pictures, but I think this polish is worthy of  like nail porn :) I could stare at these nails all day.

 

 Hehe ok last one :)

 

 I then topped this beauty with 2 coats (1 dabbed on) of The Icing "Shredded" It's a really cool polish that looks like pencil shavings. I think it looks great over this polish, and just about any other polish you could put it over.

 

 This polish is a top coat eater. I'm one of those people that will pick at stuff, so I NEEDED this to be smoothed out lol. I think I did 4 coats of my clear quick dry. If I had been thinking I would have used my Gelous top coat, but sometimes I forget I have it lol.

 

 

 I just love how this turned out and I think it looks great for the fall season, and it makes a great look for Halloween as well.

 

 Well that's it for tonight. I hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I do. If you follow me in Instagram you would have seen a preview of my nails, if your not and would like to follow me my name on there is "Raeven13"
