90's Kid

Only if the Cartoons of today were as good as the ones that I saw as a Kid in the 90's such as Hey Arnold, Cat-Dog,Pinky & The Brain, Johnny Bravo and all of those other awesome cartoons Today for you I have A Cartoon character from the 90's show Aaahh!!! Real Monsters her name is Oblina! okay so for this manicure I used as a Base Color China Glaze-Ruby Pumps 3 flawless coats for this baby, I am in Love with this color! red glitter in a red jelly base oh yeah ,right up my alley. Before painting Oblina I did the saran wrap technique in white & black, I kinda regret it because I feel like there is to much going on but i'll let you be the judge :)

"Lodi-Dotty" We like to party

Dodi is pretty close to Dotty LOL! That title comes from a song called Lodi-Dodi By Slick Rick it just came to mind because of what my manicure consist of today, Dots! lately I have not been painting my nails because I have noticed that they are beginning to stain a bit and no sir,but I refuse to have yellow stained nails so I have just been letting them breathe and giving them a light buff here and there. But Bare nails are boring so I gave in and polished my nails. Base color I used is Pure Ice-Wild Thing a lime green creme that did not have the best of formulas, it kept overflowing my cuticles >:[ I used 3 coats in order for it to be opaque In the pictures it looks a bit lighter but in person it is a lot more bright. Next I pulled out one of my handy dandy dotting tools and dotted away & on my ring finger I did the saran wrap technique. Oh yeah  since I missed my I-phone Monday's post I will be sharing some pictures with you a little further down :D
Did you guys notice the bling bling on my finger!? I'm not one to brag but I have one amazing boyfriend! 
not only is he the sweetest thing in this world but he also spoils me rotten :P

I hope you enjoyed the manicure. Now on to some pics :), On Wednesday my boyfriend,myself and two of my friends drove out to Jersey to go to Carlo's Bake Shop that is located in Hoboken, For those who watch Cake Boss on TLC know what I am talking about. Anyways we waited about an hour on a block long line to enter this little bakery but it was worth it, I came out with some goodies such as Lobster Tail Pastries,a Red velvet cupcake a connoli & a mini strawberry cheesecake. Yup all that for little me lol, if you guys ever get a chance to go get the lobster tails they are freaking amazing!!
More after the Jump :)

NYX-Deep Space

I always rave about how much I love NYX Polishes and this one is no exception. Deep Space Is a Black/Purple Jelly with a load of fine flakies ranging from purple,blue,orange,mauve and even hints of gold flakie goodness. for the swatches below I used 3 coats it is not completely opaque because I can still see my nail line just a bit, maybe a fourth coat would cover that up
Final Verdict: I Love Love this polish and for just 99 cents it's pretty awesome!

Bloo-Cheese Anyone?

By Bloo-Cheese I am not speaking about the Blue Cheese used to dip your celery sticks in lol (which by the way I hate!), I am talking about The characters from the Cartoon network show Foster Home For Imaginary Friends. The characters in this show are so cute! but for this manicure I only Picked two, Bloo And Cheese. This is a mix match Mani I like these types of manis they are a lot of fun. The two polishes of choice were China Glaze-Lemon Fizz from the Up and Away Collection,This color is a very mellow yellow creme that is a little bit streaky I used 3 coats for complete coverage. The other Shade I used is Sinful Colors-Grecian Sun a very pretty Dodger blue Crelly that went on super smoothly and gave me full coverage in 2 coats. So here it is :)
Like Always Thank You for Looking! :)

Rainbow Fish Scales

Hello Dolls! Today will be a short and sweet post. A Favorite Children's book of mine has always been The Rainbow Fish. I did happen to see if people have done nail art based on this book and in fact they have. But I figured I would give it a go as well. Base Color I used is China Glaze-Electric Beat from the Electropop Collection a very pretty dusty baby blue creme color, I used 3 coats for full coverage. The formula was ehh alright I guess it was a little thick,but nothing nail polish thinner can't fix :)

Have a great night everyone!
