Double Jaded Flowers

Sorry for the blah title but thats all I could think of. Im officially tired of eating thanksgiving food because everytime I eat I get sleepy as all hell. Im tired of eating mashed potatoes ( never thought that would ever happen). J'adore une pomme de terres *french for I love potatoes* Mrs. Brittingham would be so pleased to know I still remember most of my french.
Anywho today's official NOTD which I just got finish doing is had more technical fouls than a football game. First it was trying to find a suitable dark green to stamp with to the base color smudging and smearing when trying to stamp. Finally everything worked itself out and Im really loving it. The base color is 2 coats of Avon nailwear pro in Jade. Two coats were a must because though the polish is really pigmented the formula is kinda thin. My stamping polishes were SH insta-dri in Jumpin' Jade (flowers) and China Glaze Devotion (chains). I really like how the green on green shading turned out but next time I think Ill use gold for the accent color. The images were stamped from the bundlemonster plates *bm12 to be exact*.

Red velvet .....uhmmm cake?

This Red Velvet from Avon's matte polish collection.Im really loving this polish. Practically applied itself and its a one coater. What more can I say.
Turkey day is fast approaching. Im gonna start my cooking tomorrow. Im gonna try my hand a baking a pumpkin pie as well as baking my usual pineapple upside downcake and a carrot cake. Still debating on whether or not Im gonna visit with the fam. But I might as well since Bri will be with her dad's family same as every year. But we'll see.

Blue Raspberry Snowmen

This is one of the snowman polishes that they sell at Rite-Aid. Theses are made by Blue Cross Beauty Products. Im not familiar with them but their polishes are really good. I would so recommend going out and snatching these up asap. This color reminds me of the snowballs I used to get from the neighborhood candyman when I was a child. Its a wonder I never had cavities as a child. Anywho this a one coater *yay me* and this is also great for stamping. Im not too big on polish terminology but I believe that this would be deemed a foil by the nail goddess.

Per usual my basecoat was Nail Tek Foundation II.I switched it up for my topcoat I used NYC Extra Shiny Topcoat, Im really liking this it dries super fast and only cost $1. So whats not to love.

Bare Naked Nails Cutdown

Hi Everyone. Well the title speaks for itself. I got tired of looking at my uneven nails and the stubby was taking to long growing back out so I chopped them down. As much as I was loving the extreme (at least in to me) nail growth, this length is probably more suitable for me. Im just not used to long nails. I kept banging my nails on crap plus it feels funny when I ball my hands up. Anyways before I get to long winded let me show you guys my new length real quick, so I can get back to finishing Bri's science project. I would say a few words on that but thats a rant for another day and another blog.

Question: What is your ideal nail length? Are there any at home remedies for whitening nails?

Franken Grey

This polish creation of the result of my body's refusal to shutdown aka insomnia. As of right now its 5:01am. Around 3:30 I reorganized my polishes and decided that I needed another grey polish. Only have 2 *well now 3* one is by pure ice and the other is also one I made.

This first shot is not color accurate. I made this lovely by mixing Sally Hansen Lavendar Cloud with Wet n Wild Black Creme, about 5 drops of a metallic blue snowman polish, and some clear polish.

So its a blue tinged grey with silver microshimmer.This is 2 coatsand I got bored so I doodled on it with my SH nail art pen.

Notd: Girls Nite Glitter

So my mom's bestie called me and asked could I bring my nail stuff because her mom wanted her nails done. Since Im not one to turn done making a lil extra money I obliged and packed *more like tossed* damn near all my polished and manicure kit into my pink argyle Dickies tote. DAMN I never realized how heavy or how huge my collection had gotten. I usually put everything in a rollaway bookbag. Anyways to make a long story short I went to do one persons nails and everyone ended up with polished pretties all abeit my lil wuvmuffin *bka my not so lil baby brother*. Thankfully I only did 2 manis not including Bri. Everybody else took turns polishing each others nails. And yours truly got someone else to do my nails for a How nice I miss being able to relax while someone else polishes my pretties. Thanks Mz Chilous. And finaallly on to the pictures.
This is 2 coats of Sinful Colors Call Me Later. The ring finger mattified with E.L.F. Matte finisher.Unfortunateky I wasnt able to really capture the blingtasticness on my camera. Its green round glitter with gold microglitter. In the pictures my nails look yellow but thats just the glitter. Im gonna have hell removing this glitter bomb.

Coming Attractions

As of right now I really dont have anything new to show you guys except my halloween mani.

These pics were takin on day 4 right before I removed the polish. Its not that I dont have anything new because I have tons of untrieds that I could show. I just havent gotten around to swatching them yet. I promise to start swatching tonight. Also as much as I love nail polish Im getting tired of talking only about nail polish. So I'm going to start posting about other beauty/fashion things I enjoy as well such as but not limited to makeup, shoes, clothes, accessories, perfume etc. So until next next post. Deuces

Ruby Kiss Haul

I picked these polishes up at a beauty supply store on Wednesday. I was looking for some brown polishes because

Now this pretty is Sun Tan. She is a bronzy golden color. This color is perfect for fall/winter months but just as appropriate for summer as it gives off that perfect summer glow. This was 2 - 3 coats depending on the nail.

Now this is Reflection. This was my favorite out the bunch. It also gave me quite the headache trying to photograph it because none of these pictures show it how I see it. I picked this up thinking this would be the brown I was looking for. In the bottle its a bronzy plummy brown if that makes sense. That also translates well over to the nail. Yet all the pictures I took it looks garnet with copper shimmer.

And this is Steel Magnolia. *I Love that movie* I admit I got this more for the name than for the color but for 99 cent who cares. This is a steely charcoal grey that almost looks black in some lights. I actually am wearing this right now. As you can see I stamped the fair isles flowers off my bundlemonster plate in white on them and mattified them with E.L.F matte finisher. Ive been wearing this for 3 days and have slight tip wear. Im still on the fence as to whether or not I like this color. So far Im leaning towards not so much.

Ultra Violet

Color Club UltraViolet isnt my usual purple but that blue shimmer is stellar. UltraViolet hails from Electro Candy collection that came out in 2009. These are 2 coats with topcoat.

I stamped a decorative french tips on my left hand but because my nails arent even on that hand and the stamp is narrow. This the left handed #Fail I was left with. I stamped with the white pumkin polish.

Now my right hand wasnt as bad. Just stamped my right finger.

Oh please excuse the ashiness of my hands.bI had just got done taking off my halloween mani. I really like this color so I plan to try it by itself soon.
