NOTD: Black Crackle with Gold Glitter!

Look what my bestie brought me back from London! I'm in love with this fierce crackle! Finding the perfect color for underneath was difficult but I picked China Glaze GR8

Chinese New Year Nails

Late on trends as usual around here...Thanks for sticking with me!

Here's what I wore for the Chinese New Year:

I really love this look! It is perfect for the year of the dragon. I'm so impressed with the quality of these polishes!  I can't wait to use the red crackle for a Valentine's day look!

I'm so grateful to Pure Ice for sending the Shows Stopper sample to me.  You can celebrate with Pure Ice Crackle Duo Gold & Red (ShowStopper) and ring in the Year of the Dragon in style.  Pure Ice polishes are available at Walmart and Walgreens and Online

Is it too early for Christmas Nails?

If it is then let's call these Redskins nails! Because that is actually what I initially was thinking about when I did this mani. See, coming from the D.C. area I was raised a die-hard Redskins fan! Trust me, its one of the most depressing teams to be a die-hard fan of! So, to show my Redskins spirit, I wanted to create a burgundy and gold nail look, and when it was done it looked really Christmasy, so I held off showing it to you until now.

I started this look with China Glaze Sugar Plum, which I think was in CG's holiday collection last year.

Then I did some gold glitter sponging on my tips and moons.  I can never decide which look I like better.  The gold glitter I used was a combination of Sinful Colors Paris and Milani Jewel FX in Gold.

So, if it is too early for Christmas nails, pretend these are Redskins nails, and if you aren't Redskins fans, then pretend these are Christmas nails! :D

Happy Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating tomorrow!  Anyone know of any good Black Friday nail deals?  If so, please share! 

Also, don't forget about my two giveaways going on right now:  Free Jewelry Giveaway and China Glaze Let It Snow Giveaway

Nude with Sparkly Tips

On a recent trip to Ulta I finally got my hands on Zoya Shay from the Touch collection! I was a little weary about buying anything from the Touch collection online because I didn't know which color would look best on my skin tone, but when I saw the collection in Ulta, I just knew Shay would be perfect on me! And it was! It is my new favorite nude!

To complete this look I took a new glitter from Forever 21 called Gold and sponged it on the tips.

I love how it came out! This was a great look to wear to work, and feels very fall and on trend to me! I hope you will try it out!

Green Week - Day Four Happy St. Patrick's Day

Man, I wish I had something cuter to show you than this, but that was what was such a great challenge of green week, I had to work with what I had.  So, I call this one pot of gold!  I started with Zoya Verushka as my base:

This is the only matte color and I have, but I love the effect of mattes!  It's soooooo velvety!  But, of course I went and ruined it with a shiny top coat and my sparkly gold striper polish.

Oye!  Please forgive me!  I think I just went a little too sparkle happy and ruined the gorgeous matte!  Oh well, there is always tomorrow! 

As a side note, does anyone know why blogger is rotating my images when I upload them?  that last one needs to go counter clockwise 90 degrees, but I don't know how to change it and why it just didn't upload the way it looks on my computer.  *sigh*
