Essie Cocktail Bling

Hope all of you that celebrated Thanksgiving had a great holiday

and a fun weekend. My Thanksgiving was lots of fun and I loved seeing

my family. Unfortunately, I had to work at midnight for Black Friday until 9AM!

Today I promised myself I wasn't going to paint my nails until I had gotten some homework

done.. Well that didn't happen BUT I have good reasons :)

Today I have Essie's Cocktail

I know I have mentioned on here before how Essie and I do not get along, but I had

good luck with this formula!

This is two coats - went on smooth and easy!

I don't own many grey's so when I saw this in the store I had to pick it up!

I added some bling of my own with a glitter polish from Savvy that I picked up at Sally's one day.

OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue

Hello! I have a really quick post before I get to bed - I have a busy day of pie making tomorrow!

Today I have OPI's yoga-ta get this blue.

It's a really pretty deep royal blue with pretty shimmers!

It's a great deep blue because it's not so dark that it looks black

Easily one of my favorite bolder shades :)

Models Own Pure Purple

Well hello! Hope you all had a great weekend. Are you American's as eager for Thanksgiving as I am?? I have family coming on Wednesday and will be prepping until then -buying pies and yummy treats!

Today I have another mani inspired by a photo I found on pinterest.

I used Models Own Pure Purple, which I won from OMGPolishEm's give away ages ago!

I wish i had more access to Models Own polishes. Their formula is amazing.

The two cremes I have tried so far have been so opaque, apply evenly, and wear fairly well.

I added a stripe of OPI's It's My Year to give it a little sparkle :)

As you can see I ended up with a different look due to all the little glitters, and not many hex glitters, but I love it just the same.

OPI Black Cherry Chutney + NYX Gilded Glitter

You know that feeling when you loose the internet for a few days and then you have it back and it's like the best feeling in the world? Yeah, that's what I'm feeling right now.

I had a power outage and in the process of fixing my electricity the electric co. cut my cable and internet wire!

So, I am back now with one of my new favorite fall/winter polishes: OPI's Black Cherry Chutney. It is a vampy, blackened cherry red with shimmer. A lot of the photos of this polish

I saw on line looked like it was a lot more red but it looks much darker on me.

The next day I added some gilded glitter after seeing this combo on makeupalley

Finally, I used a Essie's Matte about you. I have had this since the summer and am only

just using it now for the first time.

Peacock Nail Art using NYX Ink Heart

Peacock feathers, peacock designs, and peacock colors are something I have been seeing a lot of lately and honestly, I don't hate it :)

While browsing Pinterest I came across an amazing peacock nail design (can be found here)

so I was inspired to do my own.

For the base I used NYX's Ink Heart - a deep blue jelly.

Using a nail art brush I swiped random lines down my nail.

For the stripes I used OPI's Jade is the New Black, Greenwich Village, ChG Four Leaf Clover

and a gold holo by Milani.

For the dots (which got smudged :z) I used the gold holo once again and OPI's Suzi Says Feng Shui.

I think it turned out pretty fun looking :)

American Apparel Peackock

Today I am posting a brand of nail polish that I don't think I have

featured on my blog until now. Today I am wearing American Apparel's Peackock.

I only have three of their polishes but I do love them.

I also own Hunter and Dynasty.

What I love about these polishes is how opaque they are.

I used two coats for this mani but I could have easily just went with the one.

The application is also one of the easiest to work with in my experience.

I added a little something to my accent nail using tape.

The heart didn't come out as nice as I would have liked but it'll do!

I added a glitter top coat to it by the brand savvy

I also just wanted to mention my new obsession - Pinterest.

While it has semi ruined my life, I just cannot get enough of it!

Follow me if you have one :)

Purple Polka Dots

To my very pleasant surprise, I received a nail parcel in my mail yesterday.

I had no recollection or ordering anything from online recently, nor had

I had planned any swaps!

Months ago I received a twitter message from Booty Babe telling me I received a free

nail polish! I finally got it yesterday and luckily my nails were nakie so I did a little something

with it.

I haven't done nail art in so long so I just did a simple polka dot mani with my Booty Grape polish and a black nail polish by Finger Paints.
