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.

XOXO

Mattese Elite-Je T'Aime

Hey darlings, today I have a polish that most of you will likely be lemming for :P I recently stopped by Ricky's NYC which is a Beauty Supply shop all year around except on October because then it becomes one of the most visited costume shops in the city. 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.
Polish used:
Name: Mattese Elite- Je T'Aime
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. (An absolutely beautiful shade). Plus it applies generously the photos below are just with one coat of Je T'Aime Over
Wet N Wild: Black Creme

Je T'aime Bottle Shot

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

Rant& Polish

Hey Beauties, If you don't mind i'm quickly going to rant about something because it really has me feeling down in the dumps. So last Friday I sold My Canon Xsi , I had posted an Ad on craigslist, someone contacted me and eventually I decided to meet up with the individual that wanted to buy my Camera, so the exchange happened he paid me the asking price of 400 in large bills, and we went our separate ways. For one I was Naive to hardly check the money once it was placed in my hands because as it turns out last night I had my father inspect the money and find out that they were fake 100 bills. I was In awe that for one I had basically been robbed and for two that I had been so stupid to accept large bills without really checking them. It's just so upsetting that people are okay with being so dishonest and do this to a person who is offering to sell them a good condition product. All in all I feel extremely played and will never ever be selling anything through craigslist or any website like that of the sort, because it's truthfully heartbreaking to be blindly robbed out of something I had to work my ass off in order to pay for.Well lesson learned right? I will never exchange an item for money with a stranger off the internet ever again. :[

Okay, Phew I got that off my chest, It  feels nice to vent. On to the good news news, I have polished nails (claws or w.e you want to call them lol) to show you guys! Not to long ago I was lucky enough to make my first swapping friend all the way from Germany! Her Name Is Chihiro Also Know as Chiro and she runs an awesome blog called My Nail of this week, (seriously she has amazing nail designs) well after some swapping planning we finally got our packages from one another sent on their way, last week I received mine from her, and boy was I like a little kid at Christmas time, she was so sweet and generous and sent me so many goodies that are not available here(ill show you guys my nail mail tomorrow :D) out of those many goodies she sent me the whole entire Limited Edition Snow White Essence Collection! (Thank You So much Chiro!) well out of those beauties I have Two of the polishes to show you today

Essence-Snow White-
Description: A Beautiful Red Jelly That applied like butter and even without a top coat it was extremely shiny! In the first picture I used 2 coats and no Top Coat
Essence-The Huntsman- 
Description-Small and large gold glitters with gold iridescent "flakes" or shards mixed in a clear base., this applied beautifully as well,one coat was good enough to get a lot of glitter on my nail.

Cling Wrap & Half Moons.

I Finally got around to creating a Half Moon Manicure!!! I think that for my first time It didn't turn out so bad. However having to wait until my base color dries so then I can put the circular reinforcements in order to create the half moon can be a little annoying, because if It's not completely dry it literally rips off the base color, so beware! The Color I used for the bottom half of the nail Is China Glaze-Flip Flop Fantasy, I waited a bit and applied one thin coat of Sally Hansen Honey Whip on top of flip flop fantasy and used the cling wrap technique and painted some triangles with some acrylic paints.
 BTW: That shade below is not an accurate color of Flip Flop Fantasy In real Life it's a beautiful bright neon pink not A coral like it shows below

Polish Used

-Main Color-Butter London-The Full Monty(3 coats)

-China Glaze-Flip flop fantasy ( 2 coats)

-Sally Hansen-Honey whip 

-Acrylic paints( Black & white)

See how much difference lighting makes, my hands don't look as terrible as the post below lol, 

however guess what!! today I sold my Canon Xsi! now i'm in search for a real nice camera that takes great macro shots do you ladies have any suggestions?

Summer Challenge-Day 11(Seashells)

Hey Girls On  July 21st was Day 11 Of the Summer Challenge, so this is a sorta quick post to show my manicure for the theme which that day was Seashells. I don't know why but this theme gave me such a hard time I just didn't know what to do!!! As a last resort I opted out for something simple which reminds me A lot of the Little Mermaid Maybe it's because of the Color Scheme. On another Note I'm Sorry for the crappy sorta dark pictures I didn't have great lighting coming in through my window today (it was a rainy day) Also you might notice that the nail on my ring finger is slightly shorter and yes its because it broke ugh(today is not my day ) anyways here is my Seashell Manicure mixed in with starfish and little waves on the tips.
