Snowflake Tips

Here is a swatch of my base coat, Revlon Blue Lagoon.  I achieved this look with two coats of Blue Lagoon, stamping from Konad plate m59 across the tips, and a coat of China Glaze Snow Cap to give the look even more shimmer.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas over here!

Week full of Nails for ya!

I'm so behind on posting my manicures.  Believe it or not, I've actually been painting my nails more than a couple times a week, but I just haven't had time to post them.

 Here's Zoya Lolly in her ModMatte glory!  Sorry she's upside down.  Blogger hates my images sometimes.

 When the Zoya Earth Day Exchange came up I was on the hunt for a lovely nude.  Zoya recommended Amanda to me.  I think its a cute color, but maybe not the perfect nude for my skin tone, so the hunt continues!  If you have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments.  I stamped the rose with black from one of my Born Pretty plates.

 Birthday Nails!  Started with a light blue from Cosmetic Arts, then did a two tone cupcake stamp from BM14 Then I used CG Fairy Dust on top to give it a little sparkle.

 Let's call this one: FOIL FAIL!  I had this vision in my head of a full nail foil covered nails, all blingy and hot for my birthday, but um, it didn't hold up well...I got the foil and glue from Dollar Nail Art.  I think when I try this again in the future, I'll start with a base color like black on my nails.  Its a little difficult to get the foil all over the nail, so this will give something nicer to peak through than by naked nail.  I did mange to stamp some princess crowns on the thumb which I think looked pretty cute:

As a bonus pic, I present you BOW TOES!  Color is China Glaze Purple Panic (Neon).  The hearts on the little toes are from Konad plate M3 and the bow is from Konad plate M59.

So, what was your favorite mani from the week?  Any tips for me on how to apply foil better?  And I need nude polish recommendations.  I want something opaque and it is so hard to know by looking at the polish bottle if something is going to be sheer or opaque, so I need your recommendations!  Hit me up in the comments, and have an ab fab weekend!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

I've decided to join a group of fetch bloggers who love Mean Girls and pink!  I'll be honest, I used to love Mean Girls, but now it just makes me sad!  Lilo used to be so awesome, and now she is just a hot mess.  Mean Girls just reminds me of all that wasted potential ;) hahahaha!

So, I'm starting pink Wednesdays with an all new pink I just got from Zoya: Hayden!  Hayden is very special to me because my bff who LOVES pink just happens to have a son named Hayden, so I just had to get it during Zoya's BOGO event!

Now Hayden is a bit sheerer than I like.  This is three coats and there was definitely still some visible nail lines, so what is a girl to do, but konad a big white bow over it!  LOL!  I'm really loving this cute pink mani! 

Wanna see what else I got from the Zoya BOGO event?

From their new Sunshine, Summer and Mod Matte Collections: Sookie, Mira, Keiko, Areej, Faye, Apple, Lolly, and Phoebe.  Plus, I got a couple of extra bonus colors I had been lusting after:

Zara, Hayden and Jancyn  I hope this holds me over for awhile because I'm officially cut off!  I told the hubs he wasn't allowed to buy any golf stuff for three months, and I think it is only fair if I do the same with nail stuff!  Luckily, my birthday is in there, so even if I don't buy any new polishes, I might still receive some new goodies!  *fingers crossed*
