I'm seriously tired of doing this to you. I just can't do it. I was looking so forward to showing you my blue nails, but there has been zero sun for weeks. I can't wait around for the sun to come out. I am a full time student and I work full time. In fact I should be sleeping right now. The no sun light did nothing for the nails, and they were seriously the prettiest mani I have ever done. In photos they looked terrible. I can't even bring myself to show them to you.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am seriously considering just shutting down the blog all together. I'm not getting any enjoyment out of it. I need to prioritize and concentrate on getting through school and this nail polish obsession I've been going through is taking up too much of my time, not to mention my money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I spent so much money on black friday that I ran out of dog food for my dog and had to scrounge 75 cents so I could buy her a can of food the day before payday (I promise she ate everyday. I wouldn't do that to her). Not to mention I didn't eat more than string cheese for 2 or 3 days. I have a problem and it needs to stop. I can't afford it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I am on a no buy for december...none. nothing. Zero polishes. My grades have dropped slightly this semester and I need to bring them back to the quality of work that I expect from myself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So until further notice, I will not be posting pictures. I am considering creating another blog that would be more like a journal and a place to vent. Next semester for me is going to be very tough and there just is not enough time in my day to do everything I want to do. I want to blog. But right now it feels more like a job that I am sucking at, and not something I do on the side. I want to succeed....and right now I feel like a failure. I need to brighten my life, not bring it down.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am still going to leave this blog up for a while, and I will still keep my facebook page and twitter up if anyone wants to contact me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm sorry...I'm just not cut out for this.</div>

Auto posting didn't work! So you're getting this a day late, sorry. I'll double up on one of my later posts. I stopped trying to remove the nails from the sticks at this point, and so from here on out all of the manis will still be stuck on the sticks. Today's mani was inspired by garland on trees. This was originally going to be my yellow post because I had no inspiration. Then the yellow inspiration hit and I changed it. Sadly you didn't get to see my actual mani for yellow, but that's okay. The following is 3 coats of China Glaze <i>Winter Holly</i> and then I used the spun sugar method with Color Club <i>Daisy Does It</i>. The strands turned out a little thick, but otherwise it's a neat effect. There hasn't been sun for DAYS so I couldnt capture the speckled goodness.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Hello! Quick post for today as I am super tired and it's the week before finals and I am swaaammmppped with homework. My nails for this actual challenge were utterly destroyed, so again you get a swatch I have sitting around in my file o' photos. Below is two coats of Sinful Colors <i>Pull Over</i>, which I bought because I was hoping it was similar to Cult Nails' <i>Feel Me Up</i> not sure it is exact but it satisfied my lemming!!</div>

I'm still sad about the nails, but I managed to save today's nails! I took these pics yesterday when I was still sad, but they turned out ok...ish... I love these nails in real life. I was trying to figure out how to make orange nails christmas-y, and I google image searched and came up with a vector of an ornament which I found <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&sa=X&tbo=d&biw=1440&bih=785&tbm=isch&tbnid=Cp7gX7mj7Wi_CM:&imgrefurl=http://www.colourbox.com/vector/orange-christmas-ball-isolated-on-the-white-vector-2584558&docid=4a2DTO6aAB2NZM&imgurl=http://www.colourbox.com/preview/2584558-713670-orange-christmas-ball-isolated-on-the-white.jpg&w=287&h=480&ei=83G7UMmeHcz5qAG20IGIDQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=310&sig=114970600823511247309&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=86&start=0&ndsp=33&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0,i:131&tx=38&ty=88" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. I can't show you an actual picture without buying the stock, but if you click you can see the picture.So this is inspired by an oranament! an Orangament! lol.<br />

Aren't they cute?! Starting from the lightest color, I sponged the ever infamous Fingerpaints <i>Lemon Sour</i> in the corner, then I used Essie <i>Fear or Desire</i> to start the gradient, working in a semi circle around the corner of the nail. After that I used Essie <i>Orange, it's obvious!</i> using the same technique and ending with OPI <i>Chop-sticking to My Story</i>. At the end I had a perfect gradient on my sponge lol. If you want I can try and do a tutorial. Let me know in the comments!</div>

For the stars I used Milani <i>White on the Spot</i> and BM 14 to stamp stars repeatedly all over the nail. I think this mani would look great in any color! Blue or purple would be really pretty! OOH Lavender with black?!?! *wheels are turning*<br />
<br />
To make this more Christmas-y you could do a green gradient with gold stars, or if you have many shades of red (which I do) that would also be pretty with either gold or silver stars.<br />
<br />
What do you think? My yellow nails got completely destroyed, but I have a plan for tomorrow. I'll see you then!! Also, I'm going to start posting not blog-worthy pics of things on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RantingBlogger" target="_blank">facebook page </a> and I really want to start interacting with my readers more.

If you're in the PAA Facebook group you may already know this. But I spent the vast majority of November knee deep in polish making 31 sets of 5 false nails to do my SECOND attempt at the 31 days of nail art challenge. Every set was not only the theme from the challenge, but also Christmas themed. Well long story short, the glue I used to put the false nails on sticks so I could paint them more easily was too strong, and I can't get them off the stick. I tried acetone, but I'm afraid of melting the nail also. At this point I have 25 sets done and I was about to do day 26 today but I don't know at this point. I'm gonna try and salvage as many as I can. I completely ruined the red nails (which is fine, it was just a ruffian with OPI <i>Goldeneye </i>and <i>The Spy Who Loved Me,</i>which I can recreate if anyone wants me to), but I did manage to save the orange nails, and I ruined some of the yellow nails, which were ugly anyway. I stopped there. I may end up just showing them on the sticks in some sort of pretty way. I haven't decided. Would you guys be okay with that? I spent a lot of time on these and I don't want to just throw them away.<br />
<br />
So instead of any Christmas themed nail art, today I will show you a crappy swatch of China Glaze <i>Bend Over Backwards </i> from the Cirque de Solei collection. It's still red!!!<br />

I HATE this polish in the lighting of my house. The light in my house is VERY yellow. But looking at this in white light and outdoors it is very pretty. This is two coats I believe.<br />
<br />
Sorry if I seemed down, or short, but it's very disappointing to me right now.<br />
<br />
Anything like this ever happen to you?<br />

Today I am bringing you swatches of these amaaazing polishes from LynBDesigns. Seriously...one of these is now in my top ten. They're awesome. Anyway!!! I have to say ahead of time...but I've been testing out different places to photograph because of the weather. It's been really cloudy all month which does not help with lighting. That and it is cold. I don't like cold. So some of these are taken in my bathroom straddling my bathtub and holding the shade back so I can get some sun, and some of them are taken in my shoddy light box with a crappy light (I asked for a better lamp for christmas so hopefully that will be remedied soon). All of these are over a glue basecoat, and Zero is over a white glue base coat (will explain later) and I had to blur out some bits (sometimes very obviously) I am telling you this now, so that if you are anti-photoshop then you can click out now. No hate. I honestly didn't see any of the stupid in real life. I was swatching and doing another project at the same time so I probably missed it. I want to show you these, even if they aren't the greatest swatches, because damnit, they're awesome and I can't wait any more.<br />
<br />
TLDR onto the swatches!<br />

First off is LynBDesigns <i>Weeping Angel </i>I believe this is 3 coats, but it may be four. This polish is verrry sheer. But worth it! I think the next time I wear this I'll layer it over a similarly colored grey.</div>

The glitters in this were a bit hard to work with, but the effect is nice. I love this polish, and with a little work or some layering it can be amazing. It's a dove grey polish with silver hexes, white squares, black diamonds, white hexes, black and white bar glitter and holo squares. Plus the grey base has a very pretty shimmer in it, which looks holographic in the bottle shot below, but doesn't translate. Despite it's problems, I still love this polish and I would recommend it to any Doctor Who lover out there.</div>

Next is <i>Frogs Breath</i>. This polish has a murky green base (a la Zoya <i>Dree) </i>with tiny black glitter, larger black hex glitters, black bar glitter, and black heart glitter (that I didn't even know was in there! l2R robyn). This is definitely more color accurate than the swatch on the etsy shop.<br />

I had some difficulty with this polish. I tried really hard to get more of the hexes out but didn't end up with too many on the nail. I love the polish without all that stuff though. It looks uneven because of the fishing. This polish would have been better if there were a greater amount of the different shapes so that it wouldn't be as difficult to get them on the nail, or if they were left out, because honestly I loved it with just the tiny glitters.<br />

Words cannot describe how excited I was for <i>Zero</i> to join me in my home. I am not going to lie though....I'm disappointed. I wore this once before as a mani and it seriously lasted 4 days, and for me that is saying something because I can barely get a polish to last a day before I have serious tipwear. This polish has the same problem as <i>Frogs breath</i> there isnt enough of the extra stuff to get it on the nail properly. This polish has a white base with white hearts, stars, and bar glitter, black hexes, and red hearts. With tiny red glitters. Shown here over a glue basecoat that I added white acrylic paint to (applies a bit streaky, but I wear it under all my neons because it actually DRIES unlike regular white polish tends to do for me.) I still love this polish for the name and it's beautiful in the bottle. Just a bit of a PITA to get to look like what you want.</div>

Ah the star of the show. My new favorite glitter. <i>Don't Blink</i>. God it is so amazing. I mean look at that. and my pictures don't do it justice. That's how amazing it is. I'm going to copy what the etsy site says about this polish "<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">. This polish is loaded with pink, purple, and teal squares in different sizes, small purple holographic squares, large and small iridescent hexes, blue and copper ultrafine holos" 2 coats over a black creme.</span></span><br />

LOOK AT THE HOLO. *girly squeel*<br />
<br />
LynBDesigns can be bought <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LynBDesigns?ref=top_trail" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Here</a> and she is currently running a $5 sale! Thats how I bought these!<br />
<br />
I love these, despite their problems, I want to buy more of her polishes!! What I love about the bottle is the labels have cute little pictures that correlate with the collection the polish comes from. The two that reference Nightmare before Christmas (<i>Zero and Frogs Breath</i>) have a photo from NBC and The two Doctor Who polishes (<i>Dont Blink and Weeping Angels</i>) have a tardis on them!<br />
<br />
Do you own any polishes from LynBDesigns?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657478063276300125noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708985546095579232.post-15393447561882767302012-11-22T06:41:00.002-06:002012-11-22T06:43:35.791-06:00Things you think of when re-organizing your stashHello friends, My fiance and I did a massive cleaning of our kitchen last night and my polish happens to be in there. I wanted to share some of the things I kept thinking while I was organizing. Side note: I had to nix the nail art drawer to make room for more polish....lol.<br />
<br />
Where the hell do I put:<br />
Neon Yellow<br />
CG Dress me up...it's not pink...its not a neutral...aggghhh<br />
<br />
Why do I have so many CG Greens? (I have 13) I don't even wear green!!<br />
<br />
What brand do I put here? Do I leave room to expand? No! I'm not buying any more polish *gets on the internet to look at more polish)<br />
<br />
Did I seriously just put purple in front of blue?<br />
<br />
I don't have any dark blue china glazes...<br />
<br />
Does teal go with green or blue?<br />
<br />
Crap, I organized all my essies and I just found 16 more...I thought I was missing some.<br />
<br />
Why won't juleps stand upright?!?!<br />
<br />
I think I have five more of these coming in the mail...<br />
<br />
When did I buy that?<br />
<br />
Why are my Deborah Lippman's next to my Wet N Wilds?<br />
<br />
God I need to have a blog sale...<br />
<br />
I want to paint my nails with this color...no...this color...no...this color!!!<br />
<br />
poor CND Guava is all alone...(I only have 1 CND)<br />
<br />
Do I keep all my minis together? Or do I separate them by brand?<br />
<br />
I need more essenses...why are all the good ones made in a different county?!?!<br />
<br />
Ugh...why did I even buy crackles?<br />
<br />
Ugh...Why did I even buy magnetics?<br />
<br />
I wonder what the textured nail polish will look like....<br />
<br />
I want to put on this glitter...but I didn't use a glue base coat...do I want to deal with the hassle of removing it?<br />
<br />
God! I need to have a blog sale!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you have any thing to add? What do you always say when reorganizing?<br />
and to add a picture just for fun...here is a random photo!<br />

Hello Lovelies. I want to show you my first indie polish. I've been wanting this polish since I first saw it, but I try not to buy polish online because I can't actually SEE it. I am SO glad I did. Now I want to buy every KBShimmer polish that has ever been made...Ever...MUST BUY ALL POLISHESES. Ok that's extreme. You get the point though! I saw swatches of KBShimmer <i>Witchy Way, </i>which I also bought, but haven't been able to photograph properly because the sky has been like this:</div>

...for the past week or so. I know that the weather is awful on the east coast, but it is awful everywhere else too? I'm just curious. /End Tangent. Anyway, I saw the swatches of WW and decided I must have it, and wanted to add another polish to make the shipping worth it and I picked <i>Oh Splat! </i></div>

*dies* it's beautiful. Reminds me of pop tarts, or legos floating in milk. My fiance said it reminds him of the malted easter eggs that are speckled, what are those called? I have no idea. The white jelly base is perfect, it doesn't streak, and I want a bottle of just the base, lol.<br />

The glitter pieces come in the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow-gold, green, blue, and purple), and in varying sizes. I didn't realize that I had a purple one sticking off my nail until just now, ha. My favorite color of the glitters is the green. Its. soo. preeeettttyyyy.<br />

One thing that I hadn't noticed in any other swatch of this polish (or any other post for that matter) is that the glitters are, in fact, metallic. Not matte, which i was disappointed with at first, but the white base takes away the shininess and therefore Robyn= Satisfied.<br />
<br />
What I liked: I think you've gathered what I liked from the post above, lol.<br />
What I didn't like: The fact that I don't have 8 bottles of it. I need a backup bottle. I need a backup of my backup bottle.<br />
Overall: Love. This. Polish. I feel elegant, yet quirky, when I wear it. It's fantastic. Christy Rose deserves an award.<br />

What are your plans for this upcoming week? This tuesday is my man's birthday and I'm trying to think of something nice to do for him that doesn't require money. Other than that I have a math final I have to study for. I've been in this stupid remedial math class for 3 semesters now (that's how long it's supposed to take) and I'm completely over it. It's a self paced class, and it just does not work for me. I want a real math class where I get taught actual things, instead of guessing.<br />
<br />
I will leave you with a picture of Mr. Squirrel, the persnickety squirrel that lives in our tree and hates my dog and happened to have been walking by when I was taking photos of this polish.<br />

Today I have some polishes I bought recently that I wish I wouldn't have. You'll see why in the following pictures and descriptions. Have you ever bought a polish that you loved in the bottle, and in concept, but it turns out to just suck? That's what these are.<br />

<br />Now at first glance you may think "It just looks like you didn't clean your cuticles" but I assure my friends, that there was much scrubbing of the cuticles involved. This crap WOULD NOT COME OFF. Nightmare, I tell you. I wore this polish one other time (thankfully with a glue basecoat) and the formula was great. The second time. Agh...lumpy disaster. It was so thick it was almost unusable. That makes me sad, this polish is such a unique color. Maybe if I buy some thinner I can save it, break it out next halloween, wear it once, and put it away. lol.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next two, one is a formula suck and the other is a brush issue. Mind you I forgot to take pics of the actual brush. Lol. </div>

Over black it turns into a very pretty green color. If I ever wear this polish, this is how I would wear it. I haven't tried wearing it over a nude, to get the bottle color. Can anyone recommend a color to wear underneath it to get a similar color to the bottle? I like the color, it's just way too sheer for my liking.<br />

Now, <i>The Mystic's Fortune</i> is beautiful. It's gorgeous. These pictures don't do this polish justice. Enlarge the bottom one to see all the gorgeous purple, pink, and blue shimmer. The brush on this however, was jacked. It was cut at an angle so extreme it made the brush smaller than an Essie brush. Another reason I regret buying this is:</div>

How many dark purples with shimmer do I need? I'm sure this isn't even all of them. From L-R: <i>The Mystic's Fortune, </i>Opi <i>Ink, </i>Unnamed color club (any ideas? I got it from Walgreen's for .99), Wet N Wild <i>Toxic Apple</i>, Orly <i>Mysterious Curse</i>, Deborah Lippman <i>Dancing in the sheets, </i>and <i> The Mystic's fortune</i> again.<br />

Sigh. Have you bought anything recently that you wished you wouldn't have?<br />
<br />
I hope you guys have a great day!</div>

I'm on some pretty hefty painkillers, and I probably couldnt paint a crooked line on my nails right now. They make me loopy!! I'm hoping I get better soon, and I will be back to posting.<br />

Thanks for understanding, I know I seem to be having a lot of medical problems lately, but I'm trying to get better.<br />

Hello Friends! Today I have the polishes I picked up from Walgreen's the other day from the new Wet N Wild Megalast Pick your Poison collection. I did not pick up the charcoal grey (it reminded me of Essie <i>Over the Edge</i> which I never use. lol..) or the bright blue (I have an NYC that is pretty similar). All of these are 2 coats with topcoat, I did however take the photos for <i>Toxic Apple</i> on a different day, so my nails look different. </div>

<i>Deadly Dose</i> a warm, yellow gold color. I bought this one purely because I do not have a gold this color. It's okay...not fantastic. Very streaky...Sparkly in the sun though. Formula is ok.</div>

<i>Poison Ivy</i> is my hands down favorite of this collection. The base is a blackened green color with brighter green shimmer. The sun pic reminds me of The Matrix. I don't know why. This polish is beautiful. I did, however, experience some cuticle drag, that you can see on my middle finger. It's ok though, beautiful polish wins out over minor inconveniences.</div>
<br />
<br />
What I liked: Pretty colors. I don't have anything like the ones I picked. Very twinkly in sun light. I'm a sucker for a good shimmer.<br />
<br />
What I didn't like: Ugh that horrible brush on the megalast line...ugh...its awful. I find myself having to paint very very slow in order to not just paint my whole hand that color. lol.<br />
<br />
Overall: I liked these. They aren't WOW outstanding, but I'm not sad I bought them.<br />
<br />
My picks: <i>Toxic Apple</i> and <i>Poison Ivy</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Did you pick any up?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Note: I bought these with my own money, they were $1.99 Each at walgreens, no one is forcing me to write this post.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657478063276300125noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708985546095579232.post-72809393024788759762012-10-16T10:27:00.000-05:002012-10-16T10:28:18.438-05:00Halloween nail art spamHello friends!!

This is one of my favorites. I did not realize it was chipped until I was editing these photos. Whoops! For a base I used L'oreal <i>Park Avenue Luncheon</i> (2 coats) then I used a coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength <i>Glass slipper</i>, followed by a coat of Sally Hansen Insta-dri <i>Beige Blast</i>. Not satisfied with <i>Glass slipper</i>, I added a coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength <i>White Veil</i>, and A coat of Jordana <i>Bronze Fest</i>, and finally a coat of Beige Blast again. It reminds me of fall!!!</div>

The next day I added some stamps! I stamped using BM 13 from the first Bundle Monster Set. For the polishes I used OPI <i>Chop Sticking to my Story</i> for the webs, and Wet N Wild <i>Black Creme</i> for the spidies. SPIDIES!!! squee.<br />

My camera is making these look different, but this is my orange ombre! Yay! From thumb to pinkie I have OPI <i>Chopsticking to my story</i>, Sinful Colors <i>Citrine, </i>Essie <i>Orange, it's obvious!</i>, Essie <i>Fear or Desire</i>, finally Essie <i>Action</i>. I must have been on an Essie kick when I bought all those oranges. That and orange was popular this spring.</div>

Halloween tribal!! Yay!! Actually this looked way worse in real life. It looks bad here...but it looked worse...For the base I used Essie <i>Fear or desire?</i> The green is OPI <i>Hot Fun in the Summer-lime</i>, the purple is just a purple from one of those sets you get at Burlington Coat Factory, the yellow is Sally Hansen Insta-dri <i>Express-so Yellow </i>and the White is Milani <i>White on the spot</i>. The black lines are just acrylic paint.</div>

This one is from a tutorial! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cqgioeSEZc&feature=g-user-u" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">This one from ArcadiaNailArt</a>. I used L'oreal <i>The Mystic's Fortune</i> as my base, and then used Sinful Colors <i>Happy Ending</i> for the slime. The glitter is Orly <i>Spazmatic</i> and <i>Can't Be Tamed</i>/ The rest of the "art" is paint. I can't paint small details to save my life. The following picture is my left hand doing the same design.</div>

This was too funny not to share. Are those supposed to be spiders?! they look like blobs, or some sort of pictoral representation of germs. This is too funny. The blue is actually the paint from my paint brush handle coming off onto my hand. Ugh. lol.</div>

So, quick, unadulterated, barely looked at photos of zombie nails and my catch up photo for jack o lantern day.<br />

This is my Jack o lantern mani. Notice this is before I nubbified my nails due to massive breakage. I used a base of OPI <i>Did you ear about Van Gogh?</i> Then I did a splatter mani with China Glaze <i>Immortal</i>, Orly <i>Nite Owl</i>, and Orly <i>Faint of Heart</i>. Then I stamped using WnW <i>Black Creme </i>and CH222 and CH 224. Then I used the brush from <i>Black Creme</i> to draw the ground. Finally I used a dotting tool to dot in the eyes and mouth on the pumpkins with China Glaze <i>Orange you Hot</i>?</div>

Hello Friends! Today I have for you my first review! I know that these have been out for a while now but I wanted to make sure that I show you guys these! They're pretty much awesome! This post is very pic heavy so I'm going get going. Note: I did not buy the Chanel <i>Peridot</i> dupe because I already have OPI <i>Just Spotted the Lizard, </i>also, the swatches I took for <i>Moonstone </i>and <i>Scarab</i> turned out badly, so you have different pictures for those. These were also taken before I changed my nail shape (again).</div>

Sally Hansen <i>Moonbeam</i> a pearlescent white polish that has a strong pink shift. I expected this to be super streaky, but it really isn't. I wish my other swatches weren't so bad because this polish is beautiful. It reminds me of pearls. It has a very pearl-like finish. I love it. Over black it turns into a polish very similar to that of Wet N Wild <i>Grey's Anatomy</i> or Revlon <i>Smoldering</i> minus the glitter. I believe this is 3 coats.<br />

Sally Hansen <i>Firefly</i> has color shifts from gold, green, pink and a tiny hint of red and purple in very extreme angles. This polish is gorgeous. I was wanting <i>Swanky Silk</i> by China glaze. Lemming gone. From what I have seen of swatches, this is better. Every color you seen in the bottle is on the nail. 3 coats.<br />

Sally Hansen <i>Copperhead. </i>Oh. My. God. I nearly died when I swatched this. No seriously. Get it. It's the strongest shifting polish I have ever seen. It's copper-y gold in direct sunlight and deep purple in others. The streaky-ness is outweighed by its awesome. No joke. It looks terrible in the bottle, gorgeous on the nails. 2 coats.<br />

Sally Hansen <i>Lava</i>, another extremely strong shifting color. This was the one that everyone was excited for, and I was let down. Yes, it's pretty. But I prefer <i>Copperhead</i> or <i>Moonbeam</i> actually. It's a primarily pink polish that shifts to yellow-gold. Pretty in it's own right, not my favorite. 3 coats.<br />

Sally Hansen <i>Scarab</i>. Another favorite. Extreme close ups!! the first blurry pic is the color in direct sunlight the second one is indirect sunlight at a different angle. Obviously the color shift isn't nearly as dramatic as that, but you can definitely see the different colors on your nail at any given time. If you look closely you can see the dark blue at my cuticle and a teal color towards the free edge, and a more green color towards the sidewall of my nail. Look at the bottle. That is what your nail would look like. It's beautiful, and from what I can tell better than the China Glaze alternative.<br />
<br />
What I liked: The color shift is gorgeous in all of these. The colors besides <i>Lava</i> didn't get a lot of hype, I'm guessing because they are similar to what other companies released, but they are spectacular. Twinkly in direct sunlight, and beautiful color payoff in the shade. I wish I had other bottles like this to compare, but alas, I do not. The formula is wonderful as well they went on smoothly, and weren't too thick, or too watery.<br />
<br />
What I didn't like: I did have some slight bubbling, but that could be for a number of reasons, so I won't put that on the formula's fault just yet. The price point is a little ridiculous at $8.49 according to walgreens.com but I don't believe I paid that much. The bottle is small, .33 Fl Oz. and as you can see in my bottle shot, I had already used a bunch of <i>Moonbeam</i> because I had already swatched that.<br />
<br />
My Picks: Copperhead for sure. Followed by Moonbeam, Scarab, Lava, and Firefly in that order. I love these. I want 4 back up bottles of each, but my budget doesn't allow for that.<br />
<br />
What do you think? If you haven't bought any of these already, I would!!!<br />

You may notice that my nails are strangely long on this post. Well that's because they are fake! I filed down some nails I broke off of a nail wheel because what I wanted to do, my nubbies were too short for. So I decided to try this! Channeling <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/robinmosesnailart?feature=g-user-u" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Robin Moses</a> and inspired by <a href="http://rozennilliano.deviantart.com/art/Not-a-ghost-250663448" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this art</a> I decided to make a woman and some birds!<br />

Ugh. Horrible. You only get one photo because its so god awful. As a base I used Wet N Wild <i>Nerd Alert: Screech</i>, Two coats. Then I taped off my fingers and used Sinful Colors <i>Inkwell</i>, Wet N Wild <i>Straight A Jesse, </i>and <i>Nerd Alert: Screech</i>, to create a typical flower pattern in the water. After all that was said and done, I couldn't leave it alone. So I stamped using Wet N Wild <i>Black Creme</i> and Cheeky Plate CH32. The monsters are cute! I loved this mani in real life, but it isn't very photogenic. I should have used a different orange, because it wasn't <i>quite </i>opaque enough and the green showed through.</div>

IM SO EXCITED. Yes. I am indeed. I love halloween. I seriously sat and pondered this first day for forever...I finally just decided to do the headless horseman. I should be sleeping, but I had some major issues with my NEW CAMERA (!!!) and had some difficulty getting stuff to upload to my computer. Then, once I sat down and saw my pics on my computer I was like O.O....these are terrible. But I don't have the time to redo them. There's skin and paint that I didn't realize existed. Please be patient with my skills for now. Still learning. Also, Picmonkey.com where I usually edit my photos has fun halloween themed things for October...So I had fun with my watermarks this month. Here's the challenge prompts followed by the Mani!<br />

I got this idea from one of the things I am about to link you to, but I think I am going to make this a weekly thing. I am going to share 5 things that I am loving this week. Not necessarily polish related, but whatever I choose!!! Anyhway, here are my favorites!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>In no particular order</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
1) <a href="http://thebloggess.com/">http://thebloggess.com/</a> -- A great blogger who talks about her struggles with anxiety and depression. I'm feeling that right now...<br />
<br />
2)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOF9d3TqYqw&feature=BFa&list=PL8D3EFFBB747B9769" target="_blank">The Flog</a>-- Where I got the idea for this post. A youtube playlist channel-y dodad hosted by my girl crush Felicia Day (The Guild, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and one of the bring it on movies, also I believe she was on eureka for a bit. Not sure...). She's adorable and funny and a gamer. Love her. Want to be her. In a non creepy way.<br />
<br />
3) Sinful Colors In the mist-- No swatch because of lack of camera. But its a dupe for OPI Nein Nein Nein Ok Fine! Its Beautiful.<br />
<br />
4) Sweatpants--If you follow me on my <a href="https://twitter.com/RantingBlogger" target="_blank">Twitter</a> you may recall the tweet where I said "You couldn't get me out of these sweatpants if you paid me" Pretty much how I feel. I'm trying to find brown or khaki sweatpants that I can wear to work. Might have something to do with my depression...<br />
<br />
5)<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Scuse-While-Kill-Mystery-Romance/dp/0843959339" target="_blank">"Scuse me while I kill this guy"</a>--Great book. I actually read it a while back when it was free on my kindle (bonus jonus #6 favorite, free books on the kindle fire) and it's hilarious. I want to read the rest of the story.<br />
<br />
What are some things that you are loving this week? Do you think I should keep doing this? If so, can someone make me a fun graphic? lol.<br />
<br />
P.S. I should be getting my new camera sometime in the next week or so.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657478063276300125noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708985546095579232.post-58372386521259300102012-09-13T04:27:00.002-05:002012-09-13T10:57:33.070-05:00DRY CUTICLES FOR SHAME!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello friends. Long time no post. A couple weeks ago I had done this amazing mani but wasn't able to take a photograph of it because my fiance and I are never home at the same time, or he is sleeping. So I came home from work, noticed his phone plugged into the wall and squeaked with joy, snatched it, and ran outside to take pictures. In retrospect, I should have moisturized first because I had just came home from work and my cuticles were SUPER DRY. So I apologize for that. On to the mani!</div>

I started off with 2 coats of China Glaze <i>Sweet Hook </i>from the Electropop collection. Such a pretty lavender color! I followed that with 1 coat of Orly <i>Can't Be Tamed </i>from the flash glam collection (I got that polish for 1.50!) then 1 coat OPI <i>Care To Danse? </i>from the NYC Ballet Collection. Then I repeated with another coat of <i>Can't Be Tamed </i>and <i>Care to Danse? </i>followed by top coat.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
My obsession with all things nail and polish started in January 2011, by discovery on YouTube of meliny using konad. So it was not a polish infatuation that started it all, but nail art stamping that I wanted to replicate.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
The online shopping started:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
From [<a href="http://www.wowsocool.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.wowsocool.com</a>] a selection of special polishes and accessory implements.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
From [<a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.bundlemonster.com</a>] the first series bulk set of stamping plates.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
The stamping plate set arrived quickly at my doorstep, but I waited a little longer for the polishes and stamper, to be able to begin my creative nail art.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
The cheapest nail polish I could get was from the brand Ulta3 at $2 each and in a fantastic array of colours.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
At the time the newest season polishes on display all had the word "Fever" in their name.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
My favourites were Twilight fever and Gold rush fever.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
Then of course I looked online, at vogue forums [<a href="http://forums.vogue.com.au/showthread.php?t=291498" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://forums.vogue.com.au/<wbr></wbr>showthread.php?t=291498</a>], where the reviews and opinions about all the colours in the Fever collection detailed their shimmers and prettiness in the sun.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
And that Twilight fever was a dupe for an expensive ($2 vs. $30) Chanel polish. Before this, I had no idea was a dupe was. We as polish collectors use quite a bit of jargon I think..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in;">
Of course I went back to the shop to get them all.</div>

The polish I have continued to pull out and wear the most would be Twilight fever. I also regularly use Midnight fever as a dark base to layer polish. And an extra bottle of Gold rush fever I have thickened up so that I have a gold stamping polish for $2.</div>

Hi! I'm Kelly from Ooh La La Polish. I was so excited when Robyn asked for guest bloggers to show off the polish that got them hooked. Before I got into polish and joined forums and started a blog, I would use an old eyeshadow brush and remover to clean up my manis. I remember taking notes from nail techs when I'd go along with my mom or get a mani myself and then use those techniques at home. Little did I know I'd start a blog and improve my skills ten fold. Up until last spring I only had a handful of polish and would rotate between OPI Mod About You, OPI Off With Her Red, OPI Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not and a bright pink Sally Hansen. I always gravitated toward OPI Mod About You and loved how it looked on my skintone. It made me look tanner in the summer and always looked soft and feminine. It was no surprise that it was the polish to really expand my horizons and cause me to look up swatches and jump into this crazy world of nail polish. I remember needing a second bottle because I loaned mine to someone and never got it back. Amazon told me to check out other polish that people were looking for and China Glaze For Audrey popped up. I like to say Mod About You was my gateway polish because it opened my eyes to brands and colors I never imagined! It's been at least a year since I used it though and I was happy to dust it off. The formula wasn't all that great compared to other light pinks I've used. It seemed chalky and streaky and required more clean-up. Maybe if I added a little thinner the formula would be thinner and easier to work with. I absolutely love the way it looks and think it's a great base for a fun indie brand glitter topper! </div>

<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Hey all - it's Mommy Does Her Nails with a story based on real-life events. That moment I became addicted to nail polish. Where it all began. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The polish that started it all was actually a trio of polishes. You may or may not (depending on how new to the nail polish community you are) know about how generous Zoya's promos can be. Well they used to be even more amazing. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I began my journey as a deal junkie. I surfed the web tirelessly for every good deal I could get my hands on. Relevant or not I bought stuff due to discounts and coupons. So when a friend saw the buy three polishes and only pay shipping she sent it my way. At the time I had my nails bitten down to bare nubbins and cuticles torns to shreds and often times bleeding. Painting nails just wasn't something I did. Yet I went ahead and ordered three polishes that were in colors I thought I might like (I didn't even know about Googling swatches!) Trixie, Irene, and Gabrielle were on their way to me in a sea of other packages and mail containing deals. Probably to be looked at once and then lost in the cabinet of samples. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">But let me tell you. When that package from Zoya arrived and I pulled the glittering and gorgeous polishes from their box I was in total awe. It changed the way I looked at nail polish. There was also a spoon insert showing off the upcoming Spring release. I instantly painted my nails and began to prowl Zoya. You know. Just in case. Then my friend discovered Polishaholicas Anonymous. We joined and the barage of color combinations, polish brands, and upcoming release information sucked us in. Hook. Line. Sinker. We were total gonners. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This was the beginning of 2011 and the sheer increase in creativity and tecniques has blown me away. It was a great year to begin as a blogger.</span></span>

I've been nominated for the Liebster award 3 times now lol!! I have been putting it off solely because I don't know anyone with less than 200 followers, So I put out an S.O.S. in the Polish Aholics Anonymous group and I will edit with people to tag once I get some people. Or if any of you know anyone with less than 200 followers who have a great blog, let me know! I'm going to answer the questions from my latest nominator <a href="http://pattyandgoldiesdayoff.blogspot.com/2012/08/liebster-award.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Patty and Goldie's Day Off</a>, just for ease of finding it (I should actually be doing homework) but if you nominated me and want me to answer your questions here on ROANH I will surely do so. So without further ado:</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"This little award is all about discovering new blogs and helping those with less than 200 followers to get recognized."<br /><br />Here are the rules:<br /><br />1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.<br /><br />2. They must also answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them.<br /><br />3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.<br /><br />4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.<br /><br />5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.<br /><br />6. There's no tag backs.<br /><br /><b><br />Ok so here are 11 random things about me:</b><br />1. The music I like tends to be anything I can sing to, if I have difficulty singing it, I wont listen to it. lol. So I listen to a lot of show tunes.<br />2. I've been at walmart for going on 7 years...bleck..<br />3. I'm 24 and I'm a sophomore in college...also bleck.<br />4. My dream job is to work in an insane asylum. (Work in, not live in! lol)<br />5. I'm the youngest of 7 and an only child. (My mother was married 3 times, my dad only 1)<br />6. I didn't go to my first bar until last november, and haven't been to one since.<br />7. I could eat taco bell 3 meals a day.<br />8. I have been engaged for nearly 4 years.<br />9. My fiance and I eventually want to get our master's degrees in Washington state.<br />10. In high school we only needed 2 fine arts credits to graduate, and I had 11. I took 4 years of choir, a semester of private lessons, an acting class, and an art class.<br />11. If you're familar with Shakespeare, there is always a point in his tragedies that is considered "comedic relief", my senior year of high school, my first speaking part was that of the porter in Macbeth, the comedic role and they cut out my monologue. So, I was the comedic relief with 3 lines. That I couldn't remember. I should have just stuck to the chorus in musicals lol.<b><br /></b><br /><strong>My questions from Patty</strong></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; position: relative; width: 536px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b>1. What made you start blogging? I read a lot of blogs, and I really wanted to try my hand at it. I had a blog back in the day that I deleted because I couldn't make myself post.<br />2. What kinds of things do you do to make blog successful? I feel like I spam a lot. I am trying to post as often as I can, and I definitely look at what already brings people from google to my blog, and keep doing that.</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; position: relative; width: 536px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. What would make you stop blogging? Time. As a full time student and a full time worker, I don't have a crap ton of time. Also, there have been times that I've considered selling all my polish, but that never had to happen!</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; position: relative; width: 536px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. What inspires you? Many things inspire me, books, movies, other people, colors. Not one thing inspires me.</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; position: relative; width: 536px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5. What is your favorite nail polish? Oh god.OPI <i>Mermaid's Tears, </i>OPI <i>Red Lights Ahead...Where? </i>OPI <i>Every Month Is Oktoberfest, </i>Essie <i>Orange it's Obvious! </i>Essie <i>She's Picture Perfect, </i>Deborah Lippman <i>Footloose, </i>Zoya <i>Chloe, </i>Zoya <i>Lo...</i>ok i'm stopping now lol.<br />6. Do you view blogging as a "competitive sport" or a creative outlet? Creative outlet</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">8. What keeps you going when you feel defeated? I try not to pay attention to pageviews and followers...I do this for myself, and I want to put my content out there for others to read. I want to get better at writing and taking photos, so this is a good way to do it. I do feel bad when I don't post because I want to people who read my blog to have content to read!</span></div>

Today is a polish related post! yay! I want to apologize in advance for the low quality photos. I went in my bedroom to ask my fiance if I could borrow his phone (he was sleeping) to take photos and I was met with this conversation:<br />
<br />
Me: Hey babe, can I borrow your phone?<br />
Him: mumble mumble pick the red one, it's better.<br />
Me: *laughs* what?<br />
Him: you were asking about colors, the red one is better.<br />
Me: I asked if I could borrow your phone.<br />
Him: Oh. yeah.<br />
Me: Where is it?<br />
Him: What? You asked about colors...<br />
Me: No, I need your phone.<br />
Him: What for?<br />
Me: Pictures for my blog<br />
Him: You don't need to take pictures *rolls over and stops responding to me*<br />
<br />
Gotta love half asleep conversations. My future mother in law once said "we have a bunny problem" in her sleep.<br />
<br />
Anyway! So I get a new camera in about 30 days, so I chose to use my camera phone instead. It's old...so sorry if the pictures suck. But I wanted to talk about the polish that started my obsession with polish.<br />

Essie <i>Cocktail bling. </i>I had already had a few polishes, I think I had a few from the Muppets Collection, and China Glaze <i>For Audrey, </i>among other drugstore polishes. But I wasn't full on into painting my nails. Then, on break at work I saw an ad for the Cocktail Bling collection, and I went into full on hunt mode. I searched high and low for this polish, and when I found it, it was love. I bought nearly the whole collection (except <i>Brooch the Subject </i>and <i>Size Matters</i>) and I've been obsessed ever since.</div>

I still love this color, it's not my favorite, but I love it. It goes perfectly with my skin tone, making me look less red, and less tan. I'm weird...I like looking pale. I wish my skin was paler actually. It's a perfect shade of grey-blue. Above is 2 coats plus topcoat.</div>

Now, I invite all of you to email me YOUR "polish that started it all" and a little blurb and I would like to do a series of guest posts chronicling our decent into obsession. If you have any friends who collect polish, have them send it to me! I want hundreds of these things!!! ok...maybe not...but the more merrier!</div>
