Mystery Nails

Hi!

I'm so late with posting! Just started a temp job earlier this week and it's been crazy here! I have a little time, so I wanted to make a quick post.



When I first put this on, it reminded me of a giraffe. FH said it looked like a turtle shell. My friend said it looked like broken eggshells. What do you see?

Base colors are OPI "Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?" and Color Club "Blue-ming". Stamp is from DRK-A plate using Konad Special Polish in White.

Also, there's a DRK-A contest! I didn't check all the details yet, but there will be 42 winners, 1 winner per image on the plate. Winners will get 50% off the DRK-B plate that's coming out soon! You can check the details of the contest at this site Esmaltaradas. Right now, the contest is running until 11 pm (Brasília official time) of April 4th 2012. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Hope I have time to join in on the fun too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Giants

Hi!

I know I'm late with this, but I wanted to post the mani I sported for the Super Bowl. Since I'm a New Yorker, I just had to support my home team Giants! I actually don't follow football at all and didn't think I'd be into the game but I was hollering at the screen the whole game lol. It was pretty intense and SO FUN! Though that Tom Brady has got quite an arm, I am proud to say that the Giants won! YAY!



I did a fairly simple mani using OPI in 'Dating A Royal' which is such a gorgeous blue! One of my faves for sure. Unfortunately, the topcoat bubbled up, so I will have to re-swatch this beauty at some point. For the Giants logo I used Wet N Wild Wild Shine in 'French White Crème' and the red stripe is Art Club in 'Red On Red'.

On another note, Color Club is having a nail art contest on their Facebook page. They posted this:

Nails, Nails, and Bonus Pics!

Hellooo! I assure you that today's post is much better than the last, or at least I hope so lol. I will not bore you with too many words, so onto the pics! ^.^

China Glaze - Fortune Teller


Never thought I'd find this beauty, but thanks to a friend who indulged my nail polish addiction by stopping into Sally's with me, here she is... oOoOoo... Hehe. I couldn't have found her without you LL ;) LL is actually a big reason I'm posting again. She's been telling me to blog, so I told her I'd try to this weekend, and here we are! ^.^

I won this next one from one of the many awesome giveaways at Body and Soul. One word. AWESOME!

Del Sol - Trick or Treat, indoors

Del Sol - Trick or Treat, out in the sunlight


If you did not know, Del Sol nail polishes change color when they're in the sun! What a beautiful contrast! I did not want to take this baby off.

Oh right, less words, more pics!

Revlon - Perplex


Orly - Space Cadet


Sally Hansen - Mystic Lilac


Base: OPI - Play Til Midnight
Stamp color: Orly - Dazzle
Image Plate: XL-A


I don't know why, but I think this looks a lot better in real life... I've been wearing this since Tuesday night and I'm still loving it ^.^

Now for bonus pics!

Meet Bacon! The only girl and oldest of 8 pups. This was around the time we got her in mid-November. She was almost 9 weeks old here.


Our little girl is almost 5 months old now... My, they grow so fast! Here she is at 4 1/2 months! You can't tell from the pics, but she's doubled, maybe even tripled in size!


Her baby brother, who is the youngest of the 8 pups, lives with my BF's family. They're crazy together! Here I am with them at 14 weeks old. Bacon on the right, her brother on the left.


You can't tell from the pic before, but Bacon is double the size of her brother! Here they are on a vet visit together at 15 weeks old. Bacon on the right, her brother on the left.


And there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed this post! Thanks for stopping by! ^.^

Jade Green Comparison

Things just got busy up in this place! So here's a random comparison picture for you today.


Index to pinky: Charlotte Russe - JDE Nail Color, Claire's - Dreamcatcher, Delia's - Mint Polish, OPI - Hey! Get In Lime

Quickly, I can tell you that Charlotte Russe and Claire's both have shimmer while Delia's and OPI are cremes. Not too sure about Delia's and OPI, but I think that these might all be hard to find now. I think I got very lucky with the Charlotte Russe 'cause it was the only one I ever saw. If you're thinking right now, "darn you, jeninjafer, darn you for posting these hard to find colors," then maybe this will make you feel better... These babies are all 3-5 coaters for me and weren't particularly fun to apply. The OPI was the 5 coater for me, but that could have been my fault, so I will have to swatch it for you again, patiently next time. If you have any of these, tell me what you think of them. I'd love to hear from you ;)

So if you're wondering what's going on with me, I just got my acceptance letter to Baruch College. In the packet they sent me TODAY, they informed me that they scheduled a math test for me tomorrow morning and a Microsoft Excel test next week! GAH! I'm afraid I might not do well and they'll end up making me take remedial courses (aka math for dummies). We do not want this 'cause they'd be boring and, worst of all, wouldn't be worth anything. x_X I might have to suck it up for next week's test though, 'cause well, I think I am a dummy when it comes to Excel... Maybe the BF can give me a few pointers since he's a whiz with it ^.^

That's all for now~ thanks for stopping by! ^.^

Fashion Inspiration Challenge Nails!

This is going to be a long post, so feel free to skip ahead to pics!

Okay, so I've been thinking a lot about what my first post back should be and I figured what better than my entry for one of Polish Hoarder Disorder's theme weeks? Not only are her challenges inspiring, but her pictures are seriously TDF. I began following her around Valentine's Day this year and when she started these theme weeks, I was hooked. So if you haven't already heard of her, you really need to check out her blog. Click, click! ^.^ This is the first one I've actually submitted to her, and silly me, I was super nervous sending it! I know it's not as great as her pictures or other entries submitted by super creative ladies, but I wanted to join in so bad! It's all in good fun, right? So here's the picture I submitted ^.^



Base: OPI Alpine Snow (Matte)
This can still be found at Transdesign.

Fauxnad: H23
The nails are stamped with fauxnad image plate H23 which I purchased from Chez Delaney. Sadly, they are out of stock of this particular plate, but they still have other great plates for you to check out. Shipping was super fast from France!

Konad Special Polishes: Green and Pink
You can purchase Konad products from many online sites. The two that I have ordered from and wholeheartedly recommend are WowSoCool and OCNailArt.

I have some other random pictures as well.

Here's what happened practically every time I was studying!



That's my kitty btw. I didn't fall asleep every time ;) He's so silly lol.

Here's my BF and I at his friend's wedding ♥



I just noticed I misspelled my name in the pic ~ FAIL! lol I was going to redo the pic, but then I thought it was funny and decided to leave it up for everyone to see my dopey-ness.

Oh and while I'm at it, I might as well show you the mani I was sporting that day. Orly Luxe ^.^



You rock if you made it through all that lol. Hope you enjoyed my welcome back post! ^.^ Thanks for stopping by!
