Shower Together and belated V-Day Manicure

An old NOTD: China Glaze Shower Together. I really love this color.


And the manicure I wore for Valentine's Day! It's OPI The One That Got Away layered under Nicole by OPI Love Your Life, with OPI Teenage Dream on thumbs.

Long time no post

Some recent stuff...

Revlon Scented Not So Blueberry. Pretty color and I happened to love the scent...it smelled even after a coat of SV!

OPI Jade Is The New Black

China Glaze Dorothy Who?

My poor thumb that I was already trying to grow out - it broke again :(

Sooo I put a fake on it! Natural nail on left, fake nail on right.
(Sorry that I was too lazy to get this picture in focus...)

China Glaze Atlantis and hauls

I think I'm in love with China Glaze Atlantis. Here is two thick coats of it over one coat of OPI Black Onyx:

OMG SPARKLES

I can't stop looking at it. I want to redo my manicure but I don't want to take this polish off!

Finally, here are some quick pictures of my hauls from the past couple of days:

DRUGSTORE HAUL
Revlon Royal, Jesse's Girl Confetti, Jesse's Girl Beach Baby, Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters
(I looked for Party of Five Glitters EVERYWHERE and finally found it at Rite Aid!)

ULTA HAUL
Orly Lunar Eclipse, China Glaze Ruby Pumps, ChG Ahoy!, ChG Whitecap, Essie Silken Cord

China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le

Current manicure: China Glaze Secret Peri-Wink-Le (Peri-wink-le? Peri-WINK-le?). I own more brands than China Glaze and Sally Hansen, I promise! :P

Anyway, I picked up this polish yesterday and I absolutely love it. I'm a huge glitter/shimmer person and haven't worn a "plain" polish in probably years (at least, not without putting glitter over it) but I was really in the mood for a simple creme. I really like this color; it's a nice purple/gray/blue and took 2 coats for opacity.


One of these days I'll actually have my camera with me during the daytime so I can take decent pictures in the sun.

In other news, I ended up giving my bottle of Sally Hansen Ivy League to my sister, who said that she actually lost a bottle of that color in the house fire we had in October. Neat!

LCD and Pink Voltage

Yesterday I tried a manicure using only Sally Hansen HD LCD, which even after five coats looked way too sheer for me. I ended up removing it and then layering two coats of LCD over two coats of China Glaze Pink Voltage, which I loved. Some crummy pictures follow. I had a hard time capturing the shimmer - in real life it's definitely blue and not silver.

Cloudy weather on the drive to work. (Disclaimer: I was at a stop light)





And inside:

Okay, so I lied.

Crappy phone picture of my manicure from a couple days ago!

This is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's Rockstar Pink layered over China Glaze's Flying Dragon (Neon). I HATED Flying Dragon by itself but loved it like this.

(Also, look at those nubbins! I like short nails but this is way too short for me. Sigh.)
