Yuletide Fun

Happy Holidays everyone. So sorry I had had planned on putting up a post before Christmas but things got to hectic. I hope everyones Christmas was enjoyable.
Mines was great but now Im balled up it my room sick taking shots of NyQuil. *bartender Make that a double* ha ha ha

Anyways China Glaze Mrs. Claus is one of my newest acquisitons and I wuv her very much.

This actually my christmas mani. So dark yet so sparkly. Its kelier crack polish in black over CG Mrs. Claus. I love this look so much I still have it despite how horribly chipped it is. Im not sure if Im just to lazy or too sick to take it off. Either way im feeling very emo at the moment.
I rekindled my relationship with vodka on Christmas Eve and as my mom puts it got 'White Gurl Wasted'. Christmas I was more ladylike and took to sipping moscato and white zinfandel straight from the bottle. Good times all around.

My bestie Ms Ty gifted me this pretty shirt for Christmas.

This my christmas FOTD

Christmas EOTD

Brianna became the newest Old Navy modelquin

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*.

ChG Awakening Collection: Mummy May I & Zombie Zest

This is Mummy May I. She is a purply fuschia glitter in a dark purple base. This was a must have for me because of the strong resemblance to Deborah Lippmans Bad Romance. Plus you guys know I love purples.

Ok so Zombie Zest is my reason for buying this set. This murky dismal *chile I still loves me some Rainbow Brite* olive green is glass flecked and just gorgeousness. This is 3 coats as this sheer. The pictures really dont do it justice its darker irl.

Anywho is it just me or all the names for this collection just kickass. Because its a holiday collection I beleive it is limited edition so go get these asap before they are gone. I just love how China Glaze does holidays.

September Haulage 2010

So basically this is semi big purchases I did last month. One from the beginning of September and on from last tuesday. So I guess Ill start with tuesdays purchases.

I picked up 3 Sally Hansen mini polish set at Big Lots for $2.50each. Unfortunately none of them have names printed on them. ( So my next trip to Rite-Aid the salelady will think Im crazy when she sees me doing bottle comaprison in the aisle trying to find full sizes of several of these.) They also had the Nail Tek Step 1 primer on clearance for 2.99 so I picked that up as well as a $5.00 Revlon manicure gift set because it had a glass file. I should have gotten 2 of each now that I think about it.

from l to r: ChG five golden rings, Nina Blu Blaze, ChG golden enchantment, and moonlight

 In Sallys I picked up 4 polishes from the clearance table.  I had a buy 2 get a dollar off coupon for China Glaze so since they were on $1.99 on sale I ened up getting them all for about $7.50.

Everything below I purchased from Transdesign.

 from l to r: China Glaze lubu heels, high maintenance, and first and last

 from l to r: China Glaze mummy may i, zombie zest, ick-a-bod-y, fast forward topcoat

 from l to r: China Glaze devotion, joy, and  awaken

 China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald

Nail Tek  foundation II

So what have you hauled lately and do you see anything here that you own or that your just dying to get your hands on?

Jeepers Creepers its Jumpin Jade

So this is what happens when my go to shade of jade gets bite by the Halloween bug.

This is Sally Hansen Jumpin Jade all decked out in Devotion from China Glaze. The image plate is BM13 (how ominous is that: 13) from bundle monster of course.



I love halloween its my all time fave holiday. Only I would do a halloween mani in September using what others deem as Christmas colors. *Insert an evil laugh here* Well starting now until Halloween I'll be rocking spookilicious manis.











So in the spirit of Halloween if you could be someone else for a day who would you be and why?

Sally Hansen Jumpin Jade

Hey guys yesterday was quite a day and Im so damn happy its over. I would have had a nail mail post for you yesterday but my blogger app freaked out and ate it so I'll try that again later this week. So after swatching into the wee hours of the morning last night I ended up with CG lubu heels on when I finally dozed off only to wake up to zillions of sheet marks and smudged polish *Eek the horror*. Short on time I just went about my day. Several hours and a new mani pedi later I realized I have been wearing the same nail polish for almost 2 weeks. I've developed a habit of wearing SH Jumpin Jade for about 3 days, taking it off and reapplying all over again. Now when did Miss Indecisive Me fall into this color rut and why? With all the gorge colors I own and I do own aplenty when did this become my new go to shade of choice? Not that I'm complaining because green is my favorite color its just not my usual go to polish. I love this polish because its super pigmented and dries super quick hence it being part of SH's insta dri collection. This is one coat of basecoat(nail tek foundation II), polish, and topcoat(CG fast forward tc). Side note CG Fast Forward Topcoat smells like sweet tarts *yummy my faves*.
I think Im going to stamp a design from my bundle monster plates to jazz up my nails and maybe mattify them later this week.

So what is your go to color when nothing else seems right or your in a rush?
