31 Day Challenge-Day 4:Color Green

Hello Everyone! sadly my summer came to a complete stop! I started school yesterday boooo! Lol however I must make time for my lovely blog :) today is Day 4 of the 31 Day Challenge and the color is Green! I really love various shades of green and my hubby's favorite color is green...... anyway today I present to you Essence-Snow White:Bashful. To make things Interesting I came up with the idea of making a snake or reptile pattern look which I'm not sure if it quite worked out.
 I used China Glaze-Unpredictable to stamp on this pattern that looked like snake skin (Bundle Monster-215) it was more of a random stamping lol then I used the same pattern and stamped it in black. Idk I think I fell short today!

Polish Used:
Essence-Snow White:Bashful 
Description: A forest green creme packed with gold shimmer! it is absolutely beautiful! I used 2 coats because it did drag just a little bit
China Glaze-Unpredictable (for stamping)
Wet n Wild-Black Creme ( for stamping)
-Stamp used-Bundle Monster 215 
IRL this shade is just Slightly darker



What do you ladies think does this look
anything reptile like?

These Gals Sure rocked green a lot better than I Did!


XOXO

31 Day Challenge-Day 3:Color Yellow

Can I start this off by saying I HATE the color yellow lol! To me it's just such an ugly color i don't know why, however that doesn't stop me from buying them which is stupid, I guess I am hoping to find a yellow I will actually like, Oh Well the search continues. Today's Yellow polish is Catrice-Twist Of Lemon

Polish Used:
Catrice-Twist Of Lemon
Description:A Shimmer packed sunshine yellow that requires at least 3-4 coats for no VNL.
For the Splatter I Used Acrylic Paints-White,Black-Purple,Yellow

-Sorry I Have No Picture of the color on It's own I forgot to take one before the splatter!
Can I just say that doing this splatter mani was a pain in the A** seriously way to messy.

Have you tried the splatter Mani yet? if so what are some suggestion for a Less messy way to do it?
On another note i'm in the mood to play some relaxation nature sounds music and sleep!! lol anyways....

Take a Look & see what these Dolls Did For Today's Theme

I Been Bit By The Indie Bug!

I have been bit by the indie bug! I now find myself browsing through Etsy Obsessing over these hand made little bottles of joy, OMG if I knew how awesome most of the polishes are I would have caved in and bought some a lonnnnnng time ago. For My First Indies I bought 7  KbShimmer's! They got here today! the shipping was so fast! Oh and on another note I became an Ebay Junkie LOL finding great deals on polishes is such a rush ( wow that made me sound like a junkie LOL) I recently won a Bid on Layla Hologram Polishes 6 for $40! being that they are $15.50 a pop I think I got a good deal, No?












I couldn't wait so I used A Polish Introducing
  KB Shimmer-Shipwreck
Description: A royal blue jelly with purple,blue,green and dark blue glitter, seriously it's beautiful!
and it applied great,the formula was flawless I did 2 coats over 1 coat of Butter London-Blagger

Just head over to Kimber'sLaquerKorner and let her know i'm sure she will be glad to add you to the list :). So lets Begin Shall we? Day 1 is The Color Red! I'm not much of red on my nails type of gal but when I buy red polishes I make sure that they are bright reds! Like this one I have on.

Polish Used: 
Revlon-Red Hot Tamale 
Description: Bright Red Crelly that applies nicely in 2 coats I applied 3 because my nail line was still a bit visible. The formula on this is smooth however I did have some bubbling :( but nothing a good top coat can't cover.

Polish Used:
China Glaze-I'm with the lifeguard(3 coats)

Use Your Fan Brush

If there was one thing I didn't know how to use when I received my set of nail art brushes was the......Fan Brush, Lol like seriously I was like "what the hell is this"..to me it was a brush that had no use until today, I finally brought it out to play. I started by first painting my nails with a base color of choice(China Glaze-Elephant Walk) then I took the fan brush and dipped the tips into the acrylic paint, wiped off the excess and lightly brushed it against my nails. & this is what I ended up looking like. Enjoy :)

Polish Used
-China Glaze-Elephant Walk ( 2 coats)
-green,gold,navy blue, purple,lilac,
orange,white,gold: Acrylic Paint. ( for brush strokes)
Will you be putting your fan brush to use?

XOXO

Ivader zim Guest Nails

Hey Pretties Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I have actually been working on a DIY project, I have been wanting a nice storage space for my  nail polishes because I hate having them in drawers plus it's much easier to see what you have when they are nicely displayed,no? Anyways so I went all out and built a shelf from scratch with wood (well technically my father built it for me) lol I just made it pretty. Once I have it up on the wall I will show you ladies and give you measurements and such!.
So On to nails, Unfortunately yesterday I broke my pinky nail so I will most likely be getting an extension on it today, if possible. Until Then here are my 12 yr old sisters nails which I did on her request, Invader Zim Nails. (well this is Gir, instead of Zim, lol)

Polish Used: Bettina-Purple(2 coats)
Description-This purple creme is absolutely beautiful even though there is nothing special about it the formula was AMAZING, I used 2 coats and it dried fairly quick.
Glitter Polish: Jordana-Cosmic ( one coat)
Left Hand:Gir In his costume & a cute little moose
Right Hand: Robot Gir And A cute little piggy.

Anyways they carry a brand called Mattese Elite which to my understanding is exclusive to Ricky's.  When I visited I came across their nail polish display and found this beauty all by itself called Je T'Aime this is from the Mattese Elite Collection Called Me Amour.

Description- Small Gold hex Iridescent glitter mixed in with smaller circular Iridescent glitter in a clear base that when layered over a dark base color shifts from green to hints of purple,orange and blue.

Wet N Wild: Black Creme
Je T'aime Bottle Shot
Mattese Elite Je T'Aime Over Wet n Wild:Black Creme-Underwater Shot
