Union Jack & Punk Rock Manis

Union Jack Mani: OPI Swimsuit Nailed It + striper nail art

Union jack mani

Hi guys! Long time, no post, huh?!

Sorry 'bout that! I've been SUPER busy and have lots of news!!! =0)

Most exciting news first,

I have an iPad!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it!?!?!? I still have trouble remembering that it's real. I swear I never thought I'd have one! =0) I've had a flip phone for the last, let's see... 5 years? MORE!?!? So, yeah. Technology doesn't find me very easily much to my dismay...!

So when I was gifted an ipad recently, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY with how cool it is. Seriously loving it and catching up on tons of lost time- downloading apps, taking pics, etc. Living the mobile life! Lol

Next coolest thing is that MASH sent me a new plate set to review. I've not ever received any products for review until then (or...well...now?), so it's s pretty big deal to me. I have been playing with it for sometime now so I have lots of pictures to share with you guys! Which is the reason I wanted to wait to do the post- I like regular blogger reviews that show an example mani, but I thought it would be AWESOME to wait on the review until I could show a TON of example manis. So that was my strategy... =0)

Next next, I should be receiving a set from CHEEKY very soon to review for you guys, also. Yes, I am super freaking out excited!!!!! Lol. I know we all (well,many of us, anyway!) have been waiting for what feels like FOREVER for CHEEKY to release their "Summer Set." Well, they are doing a short pre-sale right now, and will release the set "for real" very soon! YAYYY!!!

Now, the pic you saw at the beginning of this post was a mani I did a few weeks ago. The base isOPI Swimsuit Nailed It, and I painted the UK flag with polish stripers. I kinda suck (I think, anyway) at painting nail art by hand. However, the union jack is a pretty forgiving patter to do. I kinda just winged it and I thought it turned out pretty cute!

Route 99

OMG!!!

You guys are so awesome!

I'm totally at 99 followers! 

PPsssstttt----

Ya want a little sneak peak pressie?

A little bird send me another Lynnderella Polish.  God only knows why strangers think I deserve such wonderful gifts.  But I was so excited to see it, I couldn't sleep until I threw it on under a few colors and decided on a base color for a full mani.   

The awesomeness that follows is Lynnderella Connect The Dots.  This is now my MOST FAVORITE POLISH EVER!  Hahah...

I thought Snow Angel couldn't be topped.  Well I, my friends, was wrong.

Fourth of July / Grateful Dead Mani

This is what I wore for the 4th. 

I used nailside.blogspot.com's tutorial for the double lightning bolt mani. She's amazing for sharing her secrets!  =0)


I used wnw white, Cosmetic Arts (also known as color club) 220 volts, and wnw red.

All you Grateful Dead fans out there who love polish as much as I do, stand up! lol

I know you're out there!

How much does this mani rock!?!  I have been planning it in my head for what feels like FOREVER!  ;)

And finally with nailside's tutorial was totally able to make it happen.  Thanks again girl! XD
