9/11

A moment of silence............................


On a day like this lets all remember what is truly important life, liberty, the pusuit of happiness, being able to wake up and start fresh fix it make it better, or just walk away and move on. To those who lost there lives on 9/11 we will never forget out of the ashes a nation has risen.......


God bless,

Today is my little sister Lauren's Bday I am unable to see her and tell her Happy Birthday due to some issues. (a very long story) But if she happens to stumble upon this Happy 17th Bday Lauren!!!!! You are missed and LOVED by me and MOM.

Life is too short live it to the fullest......it truly is better to burn out than to just fade away. Today as well as every other day I want to extend my love and caring to my family, friends, nail family, and everyone else. Just think we are all 3 people away from knowing everyone in the world. That said I want to find those last 3 people and know them, make the world a better place lets learn from the tragedy the pain lets do the hardest thing there is to do in this world lets live in it. (Buffyism at its best).

I love you all!!!!!

Confetti & studio m

So here we have Studio M Not So Subtle part of there new fall line. Ill be going back for the rest. Its a grey lavender type shade and I LOVE IT it applied like a dream the color pigment is A+ another hit from Meijer I love there brand polish. This is 3 coats. Could get away w/ 2.Here is a pic of my bare nails my poor broken nails.Confetti - My Favorite Martian this is 4 coats the pic shows nail line but i couldnt see it irl. Fun color reminds me of Sinful show me the way . Great sparkle cant wait to use it in a mani could color good application will be buying more of these soon cause i heard they wont be restocking due to some kind of lawsuit. Smitten- This is amazing its a blue purple sparkle from within gemstone. I took a ton of pics hoping to show this off to the best i think i got some great shots but im going to have to take some sun shots. This is 3 coats could have been 2. Again im liking these Confetti colors wish they wernt getting stopped. Will have to grab some more b4 they are gone.

So i just started a new job that says i cant wear polish when im working so that blows to me but i will be working these into some great designs and ill get em posted when i can. Im also going to go back to Meijers and get some more of there new fall shades at least they have names this year so much easier there colors looked similar to some of China Glazes new fall line so ill have to grab some of them for a comparison. Well ladies have a good night

Borghese nails, Kleancolor haul, mini shopping spree

First off a pic of Gizmo can't go wrong with a smiling Maltese!
A Pic of my nail growth so fsr on my right hand Pinky and Ring fingers slow but steady.

Neon Purple 2 coats could have done 3 but not bad can u see the shimmer?

Cobalt Blue 4 coats but could have gotten away with 2-3 but I straked the first coat and had to adjust to get maximum coverage.

The purple is a little darker irl. The blue is pretty accurate.

Neon Purple , Cobalt

My new Gap Bag got it @ a store going out of business here in town for $3.00
I also got a new blazer and some flip flops but I didnt take pics ill post them asap.

Campanula Bellflower 5 coats , Solaro Sunshine 4 coats

I was not that impressed with these they took way to many coats and than they were a terror to dry. The purple was more purple irl and I liked it more than the orange.




Well I really like the Kleancolors I paid $2 @ a local beauty supply store and I will be going back for more when i've got some more $.Also they dried fairly quickly and the smell wasnt too bad and I had read on a blog that they stunk but they were ok. The Borghese are not sharing in my love right now. I just get annoyed at long dry times and multi coats.

Well i've got some great ideas for upcoming posts so I will hopefully get them up and running soon and I hope to revamp the site soon.

A hit and a miss.....

Well I have had some Hit and Miss looks this month Color wise they were all hits, application wise not so great. Lets take a look at the pics and u be the judge.

My poor pinky and ring fingers on my right hand have suffered some big breaks this month. Hopefully they won't take too long to grow out. But it is nice to be able to show how the colors look on short nails too so I guess there is a small silver lineing.This is massini Fall promo shade _ red and wet and wild Black Creme w/ Massini Magic Attraction, and Drama Queen glitter on ends. This was a hit this was 3 coats and 2 coats glitter. Miss was my rhinestones fell off which was a bummer. But I love the colors and the glitter add in. So i'll have to work on making this a bigger hit.

Sally Hansen Violet Frost, Peek A Blue these were 4 - 5 coats due to the sheerness of the colors. The only reason this is a miss is cause my colors smudged while drying and looked like crap after. The colors are very pretty spring colors sheer but fun I was going to do some nail art on these but gave up after they smudged. Don't u hate that?

My new hair cut a HIT but my pic is a miss cause the humidity spiked and u can't see any of the great volume I had. I'll take another pic soon after I style my hair.

Frankenish All about you melody in mocha euro trash

So today we have OPI Melody in Mocha, 3 coats
w/ Sinful Euro Trash 2 coats, and All about You 2 coats. 7 coats I dont think ive ever had that much polish on my nails. Oh and Diamond top coat shit thats 8 coats no wonder it took forever and a day to dry. I was just going to use Melody in Mocha but it was kinda plain so than I had the bright idea to add euro trash and all about you. But I LOVE how it came out kinda bronze shimmer. I usually dont go for this shade but i think it lookes really nice on me.

There is alot of sparkle to this when u get it out in the sun I just couldnt capture it on film.
You can see just a little bit in this pic the orange sparkle that comes from All About You.

My poor ring finger there is hardly any nail. This is actually some grow out it broke so far down I thought I was going to lose the whole thing.

Melody In Mocha on its own. Not a bad shade just kinda plain had to spice it up a bit.

Well ladies what do you think?
