Color club Raspberry Rush & Zoya Happi

I have a soft spot for my pinks, what can I say I'm girly.... Here's two I had to have but never tried till now, I know we all have tons of those. 

Playing with greens

Just getting some freehand practice in, I used opi glints of glina as the base and the greens are all essie. Naughty nautical, mojito madness, turquoise and Caicos. 

Opi Gwen Stefani love angel music baby

Couldn't think of a way to use the pretty gold polish that is opi Love angel music baby from the Gwen stefani then I noticed my daughters snow white shoe, and it was the perfect inspiration. Being short on time these days it had to be something simple and fast. So here it be! 

Zoya Bridgette

This was the only must have for me from the new natural collection by Zoya  And who could pass up the 3 free deal they had, Zoya has amazing steals sometimes. 

This collection is Such a  cool concept I think, everyone loves a good nude, they are so classy and feminine, and perfect for a professional look, def office appropriate.

Bridgette is a beautiful color for my skin tone  formula was perfect as was dry time, this is two coats, no top coat. Now that I think about it, it reminds me a lot of essie ladylike, I bet they are almost dupes.

Which one did you get from this collection if any or did you pass? 

ValenTYNEs day mani

just popped in to quickly post my v-day mani, nothing to super fantastic but it be aight... I'm finding it hard to find the time for anything, let alone nails or blogging with my new baby but you can never keep a nail addict bare ;-) hope everyone had a love filled day, kisses...

I also attempted some heart pancakes for my 4 year old in case you wanna see I love this holiday... 

Just a notd

Hi, this just another trend I saw on the blogosphere and wanted to try. I really liked it and I especially love how the new china glaze jellies can be used to make an easy gradient. Any questions don't  hesitate…

                  

Skittlette (So cool I had to try it)

So I was browsing through blogs the other day and I saw fingers tried something called a skittlette, I was intrigued. So I followed the link to the blog chitchatnails that explained what it was and how to do it. I very much liked what I saw, and couldn't wait to try it. My outcome seemed worthy of sharing so here it is...

I really like the idea of this. Its super fun to have a few different things going on at the same time.  I only wish I would have chosen a different glitter, one more pinkish. But hey I plan on trying more soon.

  

Hope everyone is doing good, as for me I'm as big as a house and I have no energy to do anything, I lay in bed all day, I'm so over being prego, but I only have a few more weeks to go, hope it goes by fast. Till next time....

The tiny-est canvas...

Why hello strangers! It's been forever and then some since I blogged. To be honest I was just over it, but not over polish of course, I still buy too much all the time. I'm still the same hoarder I've always been :-) that won't ever change.

One thing that has though I'm 7 months pregnant and getting big and round. I hadn't been painting my nails either since I was one of those crazy prego ladies that is super cautious. But alas that too got old, and I purchased someone Zoya pixie dust polishes and couldn't hold out I had to use them. Well, I hope all of you are well.

Today I have some nail art I attempted on my 4 year old daughter. We are going to the movies tonight to see despicable me 2, and she wanted her nails painted for the occasion. Now for me anyway nail art is really hard, let alone on a 4 years old super tiny nails. I tried my best and I think it didn't come out to horrible, considering how much she wiggles and squirms. It was nice to pop in and make a quick little post/update I don't feel good enough with polish to start doing it daily again. So till the next time I get the urge to post, adios my fellow lacquer heads.

Mine and my 3 year olds NOTD

When someone loves you they take an interest in what you love... ( it's a nice thought? Yeah?)

              (my notd is essie mojito madness & set in stones)

So my daughter saw me doing my nails and asked for hers to be painted too.

Funny thing is she ALWAYS messes them up, because it's so hard for a toddler to sit still long enough for nails to dry. And after every time I paint them and she messes them up, I tell her I'm never painting your nails again!

But I'm a sucker because that never happens. I'm always more than happy to paint them the next time she asks, completely forgetting or not caring what I said the time before.

Then when I pull out the light box. She comes running and shoves her hand in and poses, like she sees momma do.

Now enough rambling, may I present Beaux's nail of the day…

( She is wearing Opi if you moust you moust & essence hard to resist on her thumb. Which she decided, she is starting a new trend for a thumb accent finger lol)

laters, ♥ Me & Beaux

Pinterest inspired

Hello!Well I honestly didn't think I would be posting again so soon, but I saw a pic on Pinterest that I wanted to attempt. Mine did not come out quite like the picture but I'm still very happy with it. See what you think...

The picture above is most like the inspiration I seen. But I decided to add an extra color, to make it look sunset-y-ish. Lol I know not a word.

Also on Pinterest I saw someone said to use a makeup sponge applicator to do sponging. How smart is that? And it works perfectly, finally a use for those things.

Okie doke, hope you likes, bye friends.

P.s bottle shot…

Colors used :

1. China glaze papaya punch

2. Essie fiesta

3. Orly charged up

Excuses & moon candy

Wow! I know right, I totally disappeared for a while. Well my excuses are as follows:

1. Got fired and I'm enjoying doing nothing, sleeping in late going to bed late.
2. Addicted to Pinterest
3. Fifty shades of grey series ( read all three in less than a month, love them!)
4. Playing 50's house wife lol
5. Zumba for the wii & I just started Insanity, C'mon skinny body! lol I'm crossing my fingers!

So not that I need any excuses but that's pretty much what I've been doing with my time. I still paint my nails all the time, and I've been enjoying wearing a polish a lot more than I use too, the blog can kinda feel like a job sometimes and I wasn't really enjoying my polish.  Plus since I'm not working I don't really have money to spend on polish and it's easier to not want any if I don't see or know about all the new collections coming out.

I did manage to get revlon moon candy. check it out…(sorry for the crummy pics and paint job I blame the polish, oh and I love my nails short now, they chip less)

I did not like these polishes. The polish was very thick and stringy. The base coat no matter how long you let dry would smear when you applied the shard like flake top coat. ( you can see what it on some of my nails). And I just did not like the way they looked. Finally they were super expensive. You can easily get the same effect for these polishes if you have the china glaze hunger games luxe and lush. So if I can find my receipt I'm gonna take both these back and get some of the new Essie's I saw.

On a different subject I just wanted to share a lil something I picked up from Pinterest. Now when I use to clean off my old polish I would use almost one cotton ball for every nail, very wasteful and I was always running out of cotton balls pretty fast. Apparently you can unravel the cotton ball and tear it into pieces and use only one cotton ball for all 10 fingers! Gah! I was amazed! So just wanted to share in case I'm not the only one who didn't know about this!

And lastly I wanted to share my new favorite cuticle oil! My friend went to Hawaii for vacation and brought me back this as a souvenir. I just love it, it smells amazing, it's so pretty with its real and tiny cute flowers floating around, and it's huge so it will last me forever! love love love!

Ok well good to be back, don't know if I will be back for good like before or if maybe I might just pop in once in a while when I got something worth writing home about! Love you all my blogging friends! Hope everyone is doing well!

Burt's bees herbal blemish stick and toner review

I purchased these two products when my onestep spray was all gone. They were under 10$ each. I am really liking them both and I am definitely seeing an improvement in my acne within only a few days use. My redness had improved and even the oil on my face has been reduced dramatically I don't even have to blot my face anymore.

I have a huge cluster of pimples by my chin and it's been there for a while but this combo has already improved it. It's a little strong smelling and they both sting a little but I like it, because it's giving me the illusion it's working.

So overall I'm really loving these two products and they are definitely working for me. The fact that they are more natural products is also a plus. I would recommend them, and I will repurchase when I run out. The blemish stick for sure, it's awesome.

The herbal blemish stick ingredients:
SD alcohol 40-B ( from yellow corn) Calendula flower oil, borage seed oil, yarrow oil, parsley seed extract, willow bark extract, lemon oil, fennel oil, water, tea tree oil, juniper oil, eucalyptus oil.

The subtle-est stamp

Hiya! so how ya doing this fine Sunday afternoon? Me I'm just peachy, I am at work but I was thirty minutes late today, so I'm crossing my fingers that I will get fired in the next few days! Wish me luck!


So onto what I be rocking on my nails today. I'm wearing Essie she's picture perfect. Which is such a pretty purple, and formula is perfect in two coats, just a really great polish.

Then I stamped it with my new XL plates I got from Dulce from bunny nails giveaway I owe her a huge over due thank you these plates are sweet! Thanks so much Dulce!

 I stamped with orly au champagne and plate A, then topped off with opi I juggle men. So check it out, and let me know your thoughts. I was actually inspired by my new dove body wash winter care which I love!! It's so moisturizing I don't need lotion!

Okay I'm all over the place in this post but I'm done now, buh-bye!
