Almost Tape Mani

Ok...so I first painted my nails with Essence @Holografics in Blue Ray.  I've had the polish for a while now, but just finally decided to wear it.  First things first, this is not a holographic polish, it's a very pretty blue purple duochrome.  The first coat went on a little streaky, but the second coat evened it out.  But...I just could not leave well enough alone and attempted an accent nail using tape.  Well, the tape didn't work for me so much, so I had to free hand it, but it did come out very nice if I must say so myself...lol! For the accent nails I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in Instant Iris. Check it out:

A Jem of a Polish

Hey all! I'm baaacccckkkk! Since I'm back in school now, I haven't had much time to paint my nails or blog or much of anything. My nails have been in horrible shape, they've been breaking and everything. Well, today I have Zoya Jem for you. I absolutely love this color....it's a purpley color and it's perfect for fall. I started with a base of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of Zoya Jem and a coat of NYC In a NYC Minute Quick Dry Top Coat. Until next time.....happy polishing!

Plain Jane

Today, I have a plain Jane mani. I felt like I needed something a little subdued. I reached for one of my untrieds.....Essie Turquoise and Caicos. It's a beautiful turquoise leaning more towards green. I honesty don't know why I waited so long to wear this polish. The formula was kind of thin and to get the look I was going for I had to use four coats. For my accent nail I used my dotting tool and just made an off center row of dots using WnW French White and A England's St. George and toped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite. Until next time happy polishing!

Excuse Moi!

Today I have OPI Excuse Moi from the muppets collection. I like this best from the collection. There was no problem with application and the glitter is kind of fine but still chunky. For top coat I used one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite

I'm back!

Hello all! I have been M.I.A for God know how long, but I haven't stopped polishing or buying polish. I'm planning to catch up with posts and post some haul pics.....maybe one day I'll graduate to videos but until then...pics it is. What I have for you today is a water marble that I saw on Colette's blog My Simple Little Pleasures

, Her water marble tutorials are pretty easy to follow and I normally have pretty good results. This was using the same Colorado that she used in her video, China Glaze Liquid Leather and Ahoy....the only difference is that I did not do the figure eight swirl. Voila

Until next time....happy polishing!
