Happy Valentine's Day, I'm Back, Lynnderella, and LOTS of Manis!

Hey guys!!! How have you been? I've missed you all, and blogging SO much! I didn't really mean to take a break, but well...life happened. I've had a lot of issues I've had to deal with over the last month or so. It's been crazy, and unfortunately, not in a good way. BUT I'm hoping that's changed now. ;-) I've been dealing with a sick horse,sick dog,sick me,sick grandma,broken computer,hubby being out of town for work, and just so much crap. As you all know me by now, you know that when one of my babies is sick, I'm a mess. So it's been tough. They are all okay for now though. My grandma is better, I'm better...my computer? So-so. I'm actually going to have to send it off for a week or so to get fixed. I will still be blogging during that time though. We have another computer I can use. I'm sorry for disappearing on you all like that, but I'm back now, and I have so much stuff to show you. :-)

Since today's Valentine's Day, I've been doing V-Day manis. over the last few days, so I'm going to start with those first. I'm going to let the pics. do most of the talking, as there are quite a few of them to get through. ;-)

First up is today's mani. Lynnderella Matter of the Heart over Essie French Affair.

What do you think of Lynnderella's V-Day collection? I personally, think it's my fav. one yet. ;-) Do you have any of them? Which one is your fav? It's too hard for me to pick a fav....I love them all!

If you have any questions about any of them let me know. Thanks so much for being patient with me, and sticking around the last few weeks. I really appreciate each and every one of you. I hope no matter who your with, or what your doing tonight, that you have a wonderful Valentine's Day! :-)

Zoya Kimmy & Kleancolor Chunky Holo Poppy

Good morning, and happy Sat! :-) I am up entirely too early for a Sat. morning! Especially since I didn't get to sleep until 2am! I def. think a nap is in order for today. ;-) My dogs woke me up really early today. I'm not sure why, but they were all excited, and ready to go. I on the other hand, was not. LOL! Do you have any plans this weekend? I'm not quite sure what I'm doing.....besides that nap later today. LOL!

I hope you aren't sick of seeing Kleancolor yet, because I have another new one to show you today. I also have Zoya Kimmy to show you. It's part of the new Sunshine collection, and I love,love,LOVE it! It's such a great red. It's a really bright red with gold sparkle. Application was great, and I used two coats. I could have def. gotten away with only one on this one though.

I then topped it off with a coat of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Poppy. CHP is an orange base with lots of gold,orange, and yellow glitter.

First up is Zoya Kimmy.

As always, thanks for looking, and have a GREAT Sat! :-)

Zoya Charla & Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal.

I have another new Kleancolor to show you tonight. This one is Chunky Holo Teal. It's a teal base with pink,orange and yellow glitter. Again, this one is best used as a top coat. I used two coats of it over two coat of Zoya Charla. I love how it turned out! These new Kleancolors are great! They do seem to all be on the thick side, but it really isn't that bad since I'm layering them. :-)

You def. need to click on these to see how awesome the KC is! ;-)









Close Up.



Here are a couple of pics. of Charla on it's own. LOVE this polish! It's one of my all time favs. :-)

Thanks for looking, and have a great night! It's almost Fri. :-)

Zoya Reva from the new summer collection

Hey everyone! How are you doing? Did you have a good weekend? This is going to be shorter than normal, as something is going on with my computer. I have no idea what it wrong with it. It keeps shutting off on me. It's making me crazy!! I want to get this up before it happens again. Hopefully I will figure out what's going on with it, and get it fixed soon.

Zoya Reva is from the summer 2011 Sunshine collection. Reva is red with lots of gold shimmer. I have to say I'm a little dissapointed in this color. It's looks so red and pretty in the bottle, but on my nails it seems to give off a werid pinkish color. I'm not sure what it is, I'm not loving, but this polish is just not doing it for me, for some reason. Application was also a little bit of a pain. The polish was kind of thick, which is def. not the norm for a Zoya polish. I still think it's pretty, just not so much on me.







Close Up.



Are you going to be picking anything up from the new Zoya summer collections? What do you think of them? I have seven more of them to show you soon. :-)

Thanks for looking, and have a great night! :-)

China Glaze Grape Pop,Zoya Vegas Freeze,Claire's Magic and a crackle.

Happy Saturday! Do you have any big plans for the weekend? Today, I have my final post of the seven days of purple that I did. I have to admit, I'm ready to wear some different colors, besides purple now. ;-)

First up is Claire's Magic. This is one of my very fav. colors from Claire's. It's a purple base with a gorgeous pink shimmer. Application was pretty good. The first coat was pretty sheer and streaky, but after I added the second it was fine. This was two coats.





I noticed after I put my topcoat on, there were some bubbles. I can't stand that! I didn't want to redo my mani so I added a coat of China Glaze Crushed Candy on top. Not purple I know....but hey, it was still purple underneath! ;-)



Next up is China Glaze Grape Pop. This is my fav. purple cream ever. Application was great, and I used two coats.



I then added a coat of Zoya Vegas Freeze on top of Grape Pop. Vegas Freeze is an awesome layering polish. It kind of reminds me of the CND Effects polish. It has very similar shimmer pieces, as they do. I'm not sure, if I'd call them flakies or just shimmer. There are several colors....blue,green,lavender and of course purple. I really like it.







Whew! I'm done with the purple for now. It's tough to wear just one color for awhile. I like variety! I'm actually still wearing the purple I got from jaybird though. I can't bring myself to take it off, as I love it so much! :-)

Anyway, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! :-)

Part One Of My Green Spam! Dare to Wear,Kleancolor,Old Sally Hansen Glitters,Color Club Glitters and more! :-)

I know over the past couple of weeks I haven't posted as much. However, I have still been doing manis. and taking pics. of them. Most of them have been green, in honor of St Patrick's Day tomorrow. I have so many that I've decided to break them up into two parts. Part one is today, and I'll do part two tomorrow. I am sorry I haven't been posting as much. I just haven't been feeling so well lately. I did go to the doctor and all my tests results were normal. Thank goodness. I did have to have a tetanus shot, and think I've had a reaction to it. Fun times.

Anyway, on to the green spam! :-)

This is Kleancolor Leaves Jingle. It's one of my new fav. greens. I just love it. It's a grass green base with green glitter. It applied very well, and I used two coats. I know a lot of people have had problems with Kleancolor polishes smelling bad. I really didn't get that at all though. I was expecting the worst, but it was fine. :-)





Color Club Glitter Envy. This is from the new sparkle collection, and I actually have the whole collection. I will be showing them to you soon. I just put this one on for today's mani. It's a neon green with silver and gold glitter. It's applied well, and I used three coats for this one.







Close up...



Next is Zoya Tangy. It is a bright lime green. I had a few issues with brush stroke, but got it to even out pretty well. This is two coats.



This one is Dare to Wear Fashion Fever. FF is another lime green, but has a crazy amount of glitter. It has bar glitter,regular glitter and hex glitter. The bar glitter is grass green and light green. It reminds me of Easter grass! There is also quite a bit of silver glitter. Lots going on with this one! I used three coats. Application was fine. It dried super fast.





Close up....Doesn't it look like Easter grass?!



Nicole by OPI Sea and Be Seen is one of the new Spring Target exclusives. It has a murky green base with flashes of gold. I had some problems with application on this one. The polish was pretty runny for some reason. Also had some issues with brush stroke. I'm not sure how I feel about the color on myself. It really pretty in the bottle. I'm just not sure it goes with my skin tone.





Another new Nicole Target Spring exclusive is Brilliant Idea. It is another murky colored green, but in glitter form. It really is more green than gold, but my pics. make it seem more gold. I like this one as a topper. I put two layers of BI over Sea and Be Seen.





And just because, here is a cool pic. of the two above polishes. I'm not sure what happened, but I kinda like it. lol



This next one is an oldie, but def. a good one. It's Sally Hansen Sonar. It was part of the special glitter collection. I missed them ALL! Ugh. Now I want them all, and they are so hard to find! I got lucky and found this one on ebay for $3! Sonar is a deep green jelly with square and regular silver glitter. I love,love,love this polish!! Application was good, and I used three coats. If anyone has any idea where I can find more of these please let me know! :-)







Close up...



Last for today, is Piggy Polish Green and Bear it. It is a bright shimmery lime green. It might have glass flecks in it too. :-) It's kinda hard to tell what they are. Application was great and I used two coats.





Close up.



If you've made it this far, thanks for looking! Don't forget to check back tomorrow for Part 2! :-)
