Spring greens

So this is another gel manicure. I was really bored at like 7am so I decided to do my nails.

All tied up in Celtic knots

This is a pic of my Easter holiday nails. As you can tell not your typical Easter design. I pride myself on being different. I'm trying to bring myself out of my comfort zone by wearing colors that I usually turn my nose up at even though I own them. So I went really budget friendly by using only wet n wild $1 polishes. The metallic silver is called Metallica and the stamping was done using Black Creme. I did the stamping with the XL Cheeky image plates that can be found on amazon.com for like $19- 25.

Gel Polish: Blue 10

Well if you follow me on youtube I then you know that I recently made a small purchase from maytheps. Its a website that sells nail art supplies such as acrylic powder, nail art brushes, gel nail kits, fimo slices, nail decals, crystals and such. the main reason for my purchase was to get more uv soak off gel polishes to use with my new led lamp. I ordered 23 gel polishes and one magnetic polish.  My absolutely fave polish that I purchased would have to be the blue Im about to show you. The pictures don't really do it justice.

 The polish is from a company called Hong Nuo. Unfortunately the polishes don't have names just numbers so this is #10. The pictures are are a tad bit lighter in real life, I took these from my webcam because I misplaced my camera. Im also trying out a new app on my computer, Poladroid, it turns your pics into vintage-y polaroid. It reminds me of my childhood and my mom always reminding me not to fingerprint the photo.  Well I would of had a picture of last night snowfall but it had all disappeared this morning so maybe next time. Enjoy the photos.

Please Forgive Me

Im so sorry for not putting up an actual post this past week or so. I have been stressing out and slaving over final projects and studying for my finals the past week. I promise to get back on track and to resume posting this week. Honestly I still have on the same now extremely chipped polish from Day 2. Which I guess means I'll resume with day three which is yellow by Wednesday. I love you guys oodles.

Love
Erika

P.S. Praying that I get a 100 on my final research Paper. Wish me luck!!!

Day 2: Orange Nails

Not really much to say. This is Color Club Wham! Pow!. I seriously hate the name of this polish because of the useless punctuation. It's very bright very spring. Here's to hoping we don't get any snow in Maryland this winter.  Well i have to go curl Brianna's hair for school.  Enjoy the pics.

Music Therapy?: Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe (Explicit)




Wow, I'm not really sure how I feel about this one Nicki Nick. I usually like most of her stuff but I'm definitely not feeling this. I don't know maybe something is wrong with my hearing and the other 74,739 people who hit the dislike button on youtube. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan I just think she could have done a hell of a lot better with the lyrics. I like the video concept but I wanna wash my ears out with bleach every time I hear this damn song.


Question: What are your thoughts on this song?

Day 1: Red Nails

I was supposed to have post this yesterday but unfortunately I had misplaced my camera cable.  Excuse the fact that I didn't do any clean up I painted these yesterday morning while babysitting. Well Im like the color red but I'm not really a red nail person. I only own about 9 red nail polishes probably only 4 of them are true reds. I personally prefer darker reds and burgundies. So for that reason I chose Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro in Lava Red.

Im Baaacck & with a 30 day challenge

Im so sorry that I've been awol for so long. Life truly got in the way, but I'm back on the scene.  I missed you guys like crazy. Though I haven't been posting I was still keeping an eye on all the blogs I follow. Ive also come to the conclusion that I now own more than enough nail polish. So for that aspect I no longer buy any polishes unless I absolutely must have it in my collection. That being said I'm going to be a better blogger. My first step to this is to do a daily nail challenge.
So I'll be starting either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Polished n' Pretty

P.S. Im finally back in school.
