My Turkey Day Mani! Happy Thanksgiving! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Are you having lots of good food today? This is going to be a short entry, as we have family coming within the hour to eat. We have SO much food. We'll be eating turkey for a month! LOL! I wanted to get my mani. posted before the day was over. I used Finger Paints Cordur-Orange. It's the perfect pumpkin colored orange. It reminds me of pumpkin pie. I used two coats, and application was great. I then added one coat, of NYX Gilded Glitter on top, and added Joby Thanksgiving stickers to each nail.

First up, the completed mani.

Thanks for reading! I hope you are having a wonderful day, with lots of yummy food! If you aren't celebrating Thanksgiving today, I still how you are having a wonderful day! ;-)

Best purple jelly ever, and NYX Gilded Glitter!

Good morning! Did you have a good weekend? Mine was pretty good. Was super busy, and that's why I didn't get a blog posted until today. I hope yours was good. :-)

I decided to take a break with the Sally Hansen Gem Crush collection. As much as I LOVE them, for some reason, they brought back the peeler in me! Not good. At all. I used to be horrible about peeling my polish off. I got better about it, and haven't done it ages. For some reason, the SH Gems polishes made me want to peel again. I did it FIVE times last week. So bad for my nails, and now I'm back to nubbins again. Ugh.

I am wearing a gorgeous purple jelly by Ruby Kisses. It's called Bold and the Beautiful. Seriously the best purple jelly I've ever used. It's a deep, grape purple jelly goodness. :-) Application was great, and I used two coats. I'm in love with this polish! It was only $1.99 too!

I did put a coat of NYX Gilded Glitter on top, and really liked the end result. I've had in on for the past couple of days. I'll probably change it today, after I clean. Ugh. I hate cleaning. I'm so putting it off right now. I put it off all weekend, so I have to do it today.

Anyway, enough about that. On to the pics! ;-)

Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day....even thought it is Monday. ;-)

NYX Girls Maui Sunrise

It's Wed. which means hump day, and Pink Wed. :-) Well, I managed to get my cleaning done last night. I ended up procrastinating just a bit longer. ;-) It's done though! Today is a lazy day, and I might do a little shopping. It's FINALLY starting to cool down here. It actually feels like fall today. I love this kind of weather. I can def. do without the 115 degree days!

Today I have on a NYX Girls polish called Maui Sunrise. This is a gorgeous polish! I absolutely love it. I'm a sucker for pinks with gold shimmer, and that's what this is. It's a deep pinkish orange with lots of gold shimmer. It leans much more pink than orange. Application was great, and I used two coats. The difference between this pink with gold shimmer, and all the rest I've tried? This one is actually opaque in the two coats I used. It seems like all the others, I've tried always leave at least a little visible nail line. This does not, and I really like that. :-)

Click the pics. to see the great gold shimmer. ;-)











Thanks for reading, and have a happy Wed. :-)

China Glaze Hey Sailor and NYX Gilded Glitter.

Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was super relaxing...just what I needed! The weather here, was beautiful so I spent quite a bit of time outside. We took the dogs to the dog park on Sat. and Sun. they loved it! I spent yesterday afternoon with my horse, which was great. It's about time we had some nice weather here in KS! It's been crazy this year!

I kept the same mani. on all weekend. I started off with China Glaze Hey Sailor which I think is my new fav. red creme. I love it. It's such a bright, happy red, and application was great. I used two coats of HS and then I added one coat of NYX Gilded Glitter. GG is a new polish I just got from Cherry Couture. I love it! It's a pretty unique polish. I def. don't have anything like it. I'm not 100% sure how to describe it. It has different sized and shaped gold pieces in a clear base. I'm not sure what to call them gold flecks? IDK. Tell me what you think?

So...what do you think about Gilded Glitter? I already think I need to order a back up! ;-)

I hope you all have a good day....even though it is Mon. Thanks for looking! :-)

Sally Hansen Black Diamond,NYX Asphalt and Essie Matte About You.

Good morning! Well, I hope you are having a good morning, considering that it is Mon. ;-) We are supposed to have awful weather over the next two days. Today we're supposed to have a bad ice storm, and tomorrow we are supposed to have a foot and a half of snow. Good times. I really,really hate to get out when it's icy. I'm going to head to the store in a bit to stock up, so hopefully I won't have to get out much in the bad weather.

I recently bought Sally Hansen Black Diamond at CVS for 75% off. Couldn't pass up such a great deal! :-) It's a very pretty black base with crystal colored shimmer. It also has some very fine pink and green glitter through out. I am surprised by how much I like this color. I thought it was just another black until I looked closer at it. I might have to go grab another bottle while it's still on sale. It applied very well, and I used two coats of it.

I accented my ring and thumb nails with one coat of NYX Asphalt. Asphalt is a black jelly base with fine multi colored glitter. It has red,green,silver and gold glitter. It's a pretty unique polish. I don't think I've ever seen one like it. I decided to top it off with Essie Matte About you. I LOVE this look. I think I'm going to have to do a full mani. with it soon.

First, here are a couple of pics. of the finished product. ;-)

Which version do you like best? I really like the NYX matted. :-) I hope you all have a happy Mon. and stay warm if it's supposed to be cold like it is here!

There's a party on my nails! My NYE Mani....Glitter Bomb!

Happy New Years Eve! :-) Do you have big plans tonight? Are you staying in, or going out? Hubby and I, are going to stay in with the pets, and be warm and comfy. It's cold here! Yesterday, it was 65 degree and today it's going to get down to 14! Crazy Kansas weather! Anyway, We're going to eat lots of junk food,watch movies and play the Wii in our jammies. :-)

For my New Year's Eve mani I started out with Sally Hansen Midnight in New York, which is a black creme with micro rainbow glitter. It's really pretty, but the glitter is a bit hard to see, unless you look real close. I decided I wanted a bit more sparkle so I added NYX Asphalt which is also a black with rainbow glitter. The difference is, the glitter is bigger and not micro. I really liked this look too, but decided to go for more sparkle and I added Milani Gems to it. :-)

First, here is the finished product...
