Pink!

Sometimes you gotta stop and take stock of what you've got in life, even if it is just a couple hundred nail polishes...

Piles of Pink Polish

Sinful Colors Pink Collection, I thought I'd have more... possibly some hiding in random purses, at the boys house and definitely a few stashed in the car...

Sunday Nails

Dotting Tool where have you been my whole life! I can't believe I went this long without one! *thanks Rebecca*
And yes I know you can make your own- (thanks CutePolish) but it's not exactly the same.
Trying to come up with something fun for that M.A.S.H. design contest.
Not loving this one enough to submit... maybe as a backup- need to use boyfriend's camera and get a semi-good picture! - and use some kind of editing program besides Microsoft Paint- cuz seriously my hand looks weird! hahaha
OK it's Sunday so lets just say I haven't only picked up bottles of polish today, and yes I know it's not even 5:00- close tho, and haven't you heard of Sunday Funday?!
(only I know how many spelling errors I've made trying to write these few short sentences)  My phone usually corrects everything for me, so I'll have to remember to click the spellcheck button...
Also I spent my Saturday night trying to round up all my polishes- that will be my next post-

New Polishes & Design Contest

Oooops I did it again! Well sort of, my boyfriend supports my addiction every once in awhile, usually when he's trying to buy himself something stupid. Instead of vetoing it, I say something like: If you buy that, can I get this? while trying to smile all lovingly at him.

 ;)

 So anyways he got these:

Super Creepy Mustache Glasses From The Icing.

And I got these:

"After Party", "Miami Neon", and "Pop A Bottle" From The Icing.



Not exactly a win-win situation but I did score 3 new bottles! Ha!

I can't remember how I came across this page: MASH Design Contest, probably while laying in bed surfing nail blogs and google images a couple weeks ago. I'm really hoping to enter something, any ideas?  Only like 4 days left- luckily I have no job or other real responsibilies...

Mash Nail Art Brushes

I finally made time to play around with my Mash Nail Art Brushes!
I got this brush set for Christmas from my sister, so after 4 months I finally stopped making excuses, and busted em out.

 Despite having plenty of time, I only got around to messing with these 2 brushes from the set.

One reason I hadn't made time to practice with them before was because I was scared, I had no idea what all these brushes were even for and more importantly how to clean them, until last week when I found this article on the Mash website's Blog.  

Ah Ha!

So you're probably wondering what I came up with right?

Not super proud but it was my first time so here ya go~

I only used the brushes on the thumb, pointer and pinky finger.

I attempted to dry marble 2 colors on the middle finger, not pretty! I used the super tiny dotter from the set to push chunky glitter around on the ring finger, all of these designs are set over Wet n Wild's I Need a Refresh-Mint. Overall I'd say my first experience went pretty well, although I did rush the cleanup of the brushes and they feel a little crunchy today, I'm excited to try again!  You can purchase your own brushes on Mash's Website.

New Polish Review

 Wet n Wild I Need a Refresh-Mint

I love this polish! It isn't a "minty" as it looked in the bottle, but it went on smooth and with only one coat it looks like a creamy sky blue, but with a bright finish. I think I was mislead by the "mint" in it's name, hoping for more of a light blue-ish green-ish color.



I think now maybe they were going for that stick of gum minty blue color...

It was hard to get a good picture, especially with my iPhone camera.
The lighting in my house is terrible so I tried a few different angles outside while walking my dog in partially cloudy skies.

You still can't see it's true color.

Borrowing the boyfriend's camera next time.

Unemployed and Buying Nail Polish...

So yes I do realize that if you have no income, you probably shouldn't be spending money on non essential items, such as nailpolish, but I found a million excuses, some true, some not so true and I felt I deserved a bottle or two... plus they were on sale!- and I have spent so much money at Rite Aid  (mostly on polish) that I recieve 10% off every item with their Wellness+ Card so that was also part of my reasoning. And maybe I found $5.00 when I cleaned out my car yesterday. Ok I didn't, but I did clean out the car, and I can lie to myself if I want to.  I did atleast pay off my orthodontist bill first, (not a lie) so I don't feel that bad about spending $6.00.  


The first polish is called "Innocent" by Sinful Colors. I used this name to convince myself that buying a couple of bottles is innocent, atleast I'm not "wasting" money on drugs or something crazy! Right?!

I love anything with glitter in it, and I almost have every Nail Art polish in the Sinful Colors line offered at Rite Aid, so why not complete the collection, and it was only $1.99 (+ I get 10% off) this pink one's called "Wild Night"

The last two are newbies in my collection, they're from Wet n Wild's new Megalast collection. The orange one is called "Club Havana" and the other one is called "I  Need a Refresh-Mint"  I love their "ManiCurve Pro-Brush" which is a chubby short brush that covers my nails in one stroke.
These were both 40% off despite being new! yay.
Ok so I've almost convinced myself that I shouldn't feel guilty about buying these 4 new polishes... Gotta go paint with them now, pictures later :)

I love glitter!

For these sparkly digits I used 5 of my favorite glittery polishes.

Sinful Colors- "I Miss You"
Pop Beauty- "Twenty Nine Twinkle" (which I splurged $12 on)
Icing's- "Epic Winning" (love the name, and glitter density)
Love & Beauty- (can't read the name anymore, pretty sure I got this at Forever 21, damn displays at the register! everytime.)
L.A. Girls- Glitter Addict's "Provocative"
I topped all these layers off with Nutra Nails- High Gloss Top Coat.

It's impossible to capture the sparkliness in a photograph :(
Super pretty in real life, received many compliments,  even one from a boy who percieved these as "stripper nails" (?) hhmmm... thanks... I guess!?
