Orly and Color Club Stamping Manicure

This is going to be a quick post. I am tired and I have to go in early to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed *not looking forward to it* So I might be MIA next week depending on how I am healing up. I have a very low pain tolerance unfortunately.

 It's been awhile since I have done a stamping manicure, so Daniel suggested that I do stamping. I am glad he suggested it! I was a little rusty but it worked out in the end.

I used:

Orly - Wild Wisteria 

Color Club - Harp on It

Mash - Plate M43

HK Girl Top coat

This is my first Color Club Halo and I am blown away how vibrant it comes through on stamping. It make's me want to get all of the Color Club Halo Hues. I am very pleased! 

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Tomorrow I will upload my other Valentine's Day manicure - I missed out on daylight before I could finish my manicure so the lighting just won't show the manicure very well.

P.S. Make sure you enter the Epic giveaway I am involved in. Time is running out and the prizes are pretty amazing!

Peacock Nails

So I like to enter nail giveaways, I love winning polish! I think my poor hubby loves it when I win too! Since he is the one supplying my polish :) I entered one for Kelsie's Nail Files 1 year blogiversary and saw she was also doing a nail art contest! I knew right away that I wanted to do it! You had to take one of the pictures on her nail inspiration board and do a manicure off of that.

Here is what I chose to base my manicure off of.

This design just jumped out at me because I love all of these vibrant colors!

So here my nails are!

I had a lot of fun creating these! I might just rock this style again!

I used:

Orly - Wild Wisteria

Wet n Wild - Buffy the Violet Slayer

Essence - Go Bold!

China Glaze - Blue Sparrow

NYC - Skin Tight Denim

HK Girl - Top Coat

I hope you like it!

Happy 2013!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. I was planning on updating my blog during the time frame but hubby had a lot of time off during this time so we took advantage of it and spent a lot of time together. I am sad that he had to go back to work today. Oh well! 

We had a wonderful Holiday filled with family. We also spent a few days ice fishing with my father in law. It was really nice spending time with him and Daniel. 

So did everyone make New Year's Resolutions? I have a huge list and hope to accomplish all that is on my list. Our main goals this year are to - buy a second car, get a job for me finally, and move into a place of our own. I don't mind living with the in laws but I really want my own space again! We are currently trying to save up for a down payment on a house but we might be renting for a few more years - which is ok. 

For 2013 I would also like to blog more. I know I have just started out in the blogging world but I would like to build good habits and update the blog a few times a week. I have a few exciting things coming in the future so stay tuned for that! 

I have officially started my first 2013 No buy as of the 1st. A couple of ladies from the Show Me Your Top Coats are doing it with me and it will go until Feb 15th! I have a very sweet hubby who purchased 15 polishes for me this past weekend before the no buy started. So I am anxiously awaiting those polishes in the mail! I am hoping to use all of my untrieds. So I can finally put them with the rest of my polish stash. 

I have two manicures to show you today. The first one was my New Year's Eve mani. I used China Glaze Dorthy Who? and Orly Halo. It was very very sparkly. I was inspired by the mani over at Lydia's Nails. 

I don't think it turned out too bad. I am still trying to perfect the gradient nails. I guess practice shall make perfect.

The next manicure I have which is also my current manicure I am wearing is my very first Jelly Sandwich!!! I have been keeping my eye out for Essie Marshmallow but had no luck finding it in stores. Well when we were down fishing with Daniel's dad we had to stop at Walgreens and lo and behind it was the last one there. I did a happy dance and Daniel bought it for me - my last polish before the no buy started! 

I used Essie Marshmallow and Wet n Wild  Party of Five Glitters. I had a lot of fun and see many different jelly sandwich combos in my future! I apologize for my beat up skin. I took this picture after the weekend of ice fishing and the weather really tore my skin up. 

So there you have it! 

Snowflakes - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 3

So today is day 3 of the holiday challenge. I decided to try the stamping thing again. This summer my sister in law and I both picked up a little kit at Walmart that had a few plates, stamping polish, stamper, and scraper. We tried over and over to get it to work and no luck. So the plates just sat. I decided to try again this time with Sally Hansen White On and it worked! I used the Fingrs Flirt Stamping kit and plate B17.

Since no two snowflakes are alike I reflected this on my nails. Some are partial snowflakes and I like it that way!

I used Orly Royal Blue which I picked up this weekend at Sally Beauty Supply with my coupon. It's a very gorgeous eye catching blue with some shimmer to it. I had full coverage in 2 coats! I am very pleased with the polish.

Here are my day 3 of the challenge nails - Snowflakes

I really want stamping plates now! I think this could become very addicting!
