Hello Lovelies!  I know it's been a while since I posted.  My best bud is here on vacay (yeah, I'm on vacay, too) so I haven't been able to spend much time on my computer.  I'm still trucking with the fabulous manis, though!  She loves polish, too, so we're having fun painting our nails often.  

The other day when I took my yellow/purple glittah psychotic mani off I noticed some tears on my index and middle finger nails.  Ohhhhh the horror!  I was so upset.  They were torn across a bit way too far down.  I debated what to do.  I decided to cut 'em all short in an effort to not cause additional strain that might encourage the tear or a full break.  It was so much harder than I thought it would be.  I guess I had gotten used to my "long" nails.  I know - my nails were by no means legitimately long, but for me they had never been that long in my whole life.  In any case, you will all be gazing upon my awesome nubs for a while - until they grow back, that is!

This is Barry M Racing Green.  It is awesome.


Here is Barry M Blue Glitter with Shu Uemera Nuance Top Coat.  Glittah Bomb-tastic!

I rocked these out at Cocoa Beach yesterday and they were so freaking gorg in the blinding beach sun.  I definitely caught myself staring at them a lot, in between watching crazy little yellow crabs run all over around me.

The Shu top coat is little tiny holo glitter flecks, if you recall.  Maybe I'm the only one who has nails packed with fabuloso blue glittah and thinks to myself, "these need something, for sure!  Maybe a little....glittah?"  :)



I tried a cool product from Orly called Nail Rescue.  It's basically super glue that you paint on your nail, then dip the nail into some fine white powder substance, and finally buff it to a smooth finish.  We got it for my bud whose thumb nail has a huge, bogus crack down the middle.  It filled in and evened out the crack and also filled in some mega ridges she had.  I put some over the tears in my nails and it seems to be helping to keep them strong!  Super cool!  The super glue is crazy and you have to be really careful not to get it on your finger or cuticle, but other than that it's a terrific save in my book.  I'm hoping that it keeps my nails in tact and my brain sane until my nails grow back out. 

Back by popular demand!  It's more Anna Sui!!  Here we have the lovely Dolly Girl mini 404.  It's a smokin' hawt fire-engine red with shimmery glittah!  It screams:  Look at me!!


Here is Anna Sui 201, a creamy mauevy, lavender with delicate shimmah.  I had some awesome shrinkage, as you can see, partly due to Poshe and partly due to my need to take a shower very shortly after painting my nails.  Did you even know that showering too soon after painting your nails with a quick-drying top coat could cause shrinkage?!  I didn't until recently, thanks to the lovely ladies on MUA.

Shrinkage or not, it's still gorgeous.

And last is the odd one out, Nfu-Oh 65.  This is a celebratory mani for my best bud coming to visit me today.  Hoooooraaaaaay!!  I love this color very muchly.  :D




Isn't it just ridiculous?!  Doesn't it make you want to scream/cry/sing/shout?!  


I hope this makes you happy, as it does for me.  Have a holo-rific day!

Top of the mornin' to ya!  I have a most blessed post for you and guess what?  It's Anna.  Yeah.  We're on a first name basis now.  I think I am in love with Anna.  Don't tell my husband.

Today I am sporting the ever perfect Anna Sui 103.  Below are pictures of the two coat amazingness.  I know - it's so freaking blessed.  Now imagine the smell of fresh roses wafting toward you (or don't - I mean, if you don't like roses don't imagine it).




This next picture might be my favorite because it's so insanely glossy.  You can almost imagine diving into the nails and swimming in them!

Now, if you know me at all, then you know I couldn't leave well enough alone.  I just *had* to add bling.  HELLO!  005 is quite possibly in the dictionary next to the word "bling."  Behold:

This is one coat added.  You know how big chunky glitters often act all crazy and are hard to get positioned onto the nail?  Not this beaut.  It applied so perfectly I could hardly stand it.  Anna, how?!

Check out the blindingness below.  Zoinks!

Again, I am blind.  And so happy.

Equally fab in the shade.


I don't need to say anymore but I will.  These polishes are smooth, glorious, and to.die.for.  I'm wondering if I should have sold a kidney on the black market so I could have bought the entire collection.  I'm going to say that the Anna Sui boutique in New York is my personal nail polish mecca.  Yup.  There ya have it.

Have a loverly day and stay tuned for more Anna!!  :D

I'm back!  This post is going to be a little crazy and disjointed but mostly I just want to provide you fabulous people with some eye candy and I can't believe it's been so long since I really posted.  This past week has been a really insane whirlwind experience (more on this later).

First of all I have Massini Purple Medallion.  It is awweeeesome.  Really glittertastic-holo-fabulosity.  It's so bright and blindingly holo.  I apologize that the color looks so different in the following two pictures (again, you have to love my struggles with taking pictures at night).  In real life it looks pretty reddish-purple, if that makes sense.

It was such a pain to remove - major glitter overload.  Totally worth it, though!

Below is a combination I did last Sunday or Monday before I went to NYC.  It's Nubar Pasadena Purple with Nfu-Oh 51.  It looked a bit warmer in reality.  

Now say hello to Anna Sui!  *cue the angels singing*  This is 001.  It is sheer white with iridescent pastel shimmah.

Below are 201, 308, and 307.

Below are 103, 200, 005.  200 is slightly lavender in real life.

604, 603, and 301.

305, 702, and 302.

402, 003, and 203.

These are decals that came in the cute limited edition trio sets that you will see a little further down.  Bonus!  I wasn't expecting them.  


313, 312, and 105.  How cute are they?!  They came in a super cute tin, too.  

106, 008, and 404.  

Today I slapped on 105 and 008.  I'm embarrassed to even post this picture because of my awful nubby ring fingernail, but I can't deprive you of the goodness that is Anna Sui nail polish.  It is a beautiful thing.  

If you didn't already know, her polishes are rose scented.  It's pretty cool!  I was worried that I wouldn't like the smell, but it's quite nice.  Someone even commented on it today because she thought it was my perfume and she liked it!  I thought that was fun.  Another little fact - the top of the rose bottle handles are sculpted into a rose shape, too.  Apparently roses are where it's at.  

Yes, I bought so much.  I knew I would get a lot, but I didn't know I would go crazy like that!  They were out of stock on some really sweet colors, which is so sad, but I'm trying to focus on the positives here.  I scored.  Yes I did.  If you ever have a chance to go to the Anna Sui boutique with is on Greene Street in Soho, please make it happen.  It's worth it.  It's so incredibly awesome.  And her cosmetics are out of this world, as well.  I got some amazing eye makeup - all of it indescribably shimmahrific and glittertastic. 

Today I bought the new Fall collection of Sephora by OPIs.  I also nabbed Nars Tokaido Express, a lovely deep purple.  Stay tuned, peeps!

Hiya!  I hope you are having a fabulous Saturday.  For you I have Nubar Reclaim, a perfectly perfect green holographic polish.  The application was just swell.  This is two coats.  There is some controversy, if you will, about putting a top coat over holo polishes.  I've been told that it lessens the intensity of the holographic effect.  The pictures are with Nubar Diamont top coat.  I can't bear to not wear a top coat!




Last night I busted out my super holy Chanel Nuit de Russie.  I was encouraged by MissH on MUA nail board to not hoard my Chanels but use 'em and love it!  Thanks!  I do love it.  Here it is, in all its glory, two coats with Poshe.

Below is a picture from last night.  It shows the glowiness of the blue shimmer in a different way.



Indoors it looks nearly black.  The next picture is just kind of silly, but I wanted to include it because I think it's cool looking!  These are some lovelies that I bought at Sephora yesterday.  They are new metallic liquid eyeliners from Too Faced and also a "Tattoo" liner in blue from Kat Von D.  I'm a total makeup junkie.  I look at this picture and it just kills me how perfect they all look - like they are floating above my hand or something.  :D  Yeah, yeah, call me crazy. 

 Thanks for stopping in and stay dizzy!!



This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
