Notd: Sinful Colors Secret Admirer with Crazy Kick


Hey gals hope everyone is doing swell. So todays manicure something like my usual being that its a plain mani with an accent color on my ring finger. Except this time I wanted to jazz it up and do something a little outta the box.
So the polishes that I used were Sinful Colors in Secret Admirer and LA Colors Color Craze in Electrified. The accent nail is 2 coats of Electrified which is a lovely pink metallic very foil-like. I painted a strip of Secret Admirer down the middle and then very randomly brushed Electrified over the top so there were no harsh lines and the black just peeks out. I think its a really nice effect. Secret Admirer is a gorgeous black with silver microglitter. When applied to the nail its a pewter shimmer with a blackened base. Application of both were good except the longer Secret Admirer is left open the thicker and goopier it gets. Which really isnt a problem if you work fast or you add a couple of drops of polish thinner it. I chose to do the latter. Cleanup was fairly quick and easy. I really like this mani so Im gonna see how long I can go before I get the itch to change my polish. Oh and nope these arent acrylics just regular ol' press on nails with I applied with nail glue.

NOTD & Haul

So today, well yesterday was a great day. Also known as pay day. *oh The joy* So since I really wanted to get out the house and Brianna needed new shoes for school we took a trip to the mall. But before I get ahead of myself we went to the local BSS and walgreens. At the BSS I racked up on several sinful colors and a clean colors polish, polish thinner, and cuticle remover. In walgreens I got conditioner and spotted a sinful polish I didn't see at the BSS. Claires had a 10 for $10 sale so I got 3 polishes (no mood polishes becuz I refuse to pay $5 for claires lacquer ~ its so not worth it). Then we went to see Eclipse at the theatre( I know I'm the last human on earth to see it) it was pure awesomesauce.

Now back to the scheduled programming. My new mani of the day is from todays haul Sinful Colors What's Your Name and accent nail of Sinful Colors Call You Later.

Bare Nails Length Update


Well as you can see from the above picture my nails are growing quite nicely. I'm still doing my Nutra Nail Challenge but I've kinda been slackin on the application because I'm lazy and forgetful. Thus I decided to start taking Biotin two weeks ago. I'm not a big fan of taking pills but these are tiny so they are cool take them in the morning when I get up. I'm starting to think maybe I might need to incorporate a multivitamin to my regimen. I would have included a nail of the day shot but my nails have been running around undressed for the last couple of days. * Gasp the horror* I know it fiendish and ungodly but I felt like being a rebel. Just bare not even a base or top coat. Well since I'm outta my rutt I think Ill go peruse my polish bin soon to be polish drawer or rack and find a new pretty to dress my digits in.

Happy Polishin'

Erika
