Will be returning shortly!

Hello to all of my readers. I just wanted to stop by and write you a little explanation!
It's been quiet a while since my last post :( However, I had some AWFUL breaks to multiple nails! I don't know if I wasn't being careful with my nubs but I am in the process of nursing them back to health! They are almost there.

I don't really like posting photos of my nails when they are not in the best of shape so I am sorry for the hiatus!

I have some amazing pretties to show you guys when my nails are up to my posting standards!

American Apparel hunter w*Revlon Stunning

Today I have yet another American Aparel polish that has not been featured on my blog, Hunter. Hunter is exactly what the name suggests, a true hunter green. It is an amazing creme that is so effortless to apply. I don't think I can stress enough how amazing the formula of these American Apparel nail polishes are.
Since I have been a little glitter obsessed lately I added a coat of Revlon's Stunning.



Share your favorite AA's if you have any :)
Thanks for looking!

American Apparel Dynasty w*LA Color Glitter

Hi ladies. I hope your weekend went better than mine did. My SO and I of four and a half years are taking some time apart :( This weekend is one of the most painful I have had to go through. All I can do is hope for the best.


I don't want to go on sobbing and bombard this post with negativity so moving on! I have been going through my stash and past blog posts so I can determine what polishes have not been featured on my blog yet. American Apparels Dynasty is one of them. I only have three AA polishes but I love the formula of every single one of them. They are so creamy, opaque, and one coat will do just the trick if you are in a bit of a rush.
Dynasty is a creamy light purple shade which I topped with a nameless L.A. Colors Color Craze glitter that I received as an extra in a swap!
I love the combo of these two polishes together!
Thanks for looking.

OPI Glitzerland

I don't know what it is but my manis have just not been coming out the way I would like them to! I think it is the lack of time, unfortunately! I don't really have time to think about what I want to wear and even worse is that I have been feeling a little uninspired! I received Glitzerland from a friend for Christmas. Every time we would go nail polish shopping we both would look at it and drool.

While it is a gorgeous gold shade, it wasn't the most flattering on my skin tone. The formula was thin, so three coats were needed but it wasn't a PitA to apply!
Since it didn't wow me like I hoped it would I added the star design from BM21!

NYX Ink Heart & Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal

Well hello, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine has been pretty relaxing. Went out to Mexican on Friday night, made dinner (Tuscan Garlic Chicken) last night for my SO and was pretty productive today! One of the many things that got done were my nails of course. On Twitter I mentioned that I did a manicure combining NYX's Ink heart and Kleancolor's Chunky Teal Holo that was inspired by Like A Candy Shop. I highly recommend her blog. Her blogs and nubs are one of my favs!

NYX's Ink heart is a polish I always reach for. I used it for one of my Christmas Mani's and my Peacock mani. It is the perfect deep blue jelly. Anyway, I saw that Elsa topped off a nacy creme from Kleancolor with Chunky Holo Blue and instantly wanted to recreate it. I LOVE the end result! I haven't used my Chunky Holo nearly as much as I should but will after this I will definitely be utilizing it more!







What are your favorite Chunk Holo combinations?

My week in NOTDs: China Glaze It's Alive & Finger Paints Twisted

Sorry for my lack of posts this week but I wasn't fully satisfied with either of my NOTDs. I also went naked the beginning of the week. I think it was the stress of starting my second week at my new job and beginning my classes.

Ever since I got FP Twisted I wanted to wear it with black and red so I killed 2 birds with one stone and did an alternating mani. I used Wet n' Wild's Black Creme and China Glaze Winter Berry, then topped it off with 2 coats of FP Twisted
THEEEN I put on this beautiful green glitter that I skipped out on when it first came out. This is one of China Glaze's polished from their halloween collection - It's Alive. I had been wanting it and luckily found it at a local beauty supply shop on clearance and only just got to wearing it. The formula of this was a little lumpy for me but it's probably just because it's a bit old and could have used some thinner before I applied it.
That was my quick wrap up for the week. I am off to the shelter, hopefully adopting a dog very soon!

Parlez Vous OPI & a small haul

This was a polish I searched to swap for because I thought it looked great on everybody else. I am unsure about how I feel about it on my skintone. Don't get me wrong this is a really pretty color, I am just not sure it's right for me. I think it looks a lot dustier on me than it does on others. The fomula was nice, a little on the thick side but it wasn't too hard to deal with.
I ended up putting a stamp on it using China Glaze's IDK. The number of the plate escapes me but if anyone asks I can get the number for you. It was very subtle but I like it that way :)

Also a week or two ago I was on MUA from my phone and saw all of tis talk about Lynderellas being back up on her site. By the time I got to ordering the only one that was still in stock was this gorgeous green glitter, I Can Afford It. I didn't want to pass it up so I put it in my cart along with another Glitter Gal I had my eye on!

Thanks for looking!
