Half Moon Nail

For a few weeks I have been dieing to do this nail art design, I wasn't to sure how to do so I went on youtube and looked up half moon nail an so many vid's popped up. I pick 2 nail polish that worked well together which are butter london - big smoke and china glaze - sea spray.

I was really happy with the look of the nail, can't wait to try this design with different colors nows

Nail Polish Wear

The polish I'm wearing is Nail inc color warwick way, I painted my nails last monday night. Both hands have OPI Nail Envy as a base and 2 coats of polish. I wanted to do a test to see if this polish would hold better with a top coat or not. From the pictures below you'll the result

Right hand no top coat

Top coat WINS 

Nail inc. - warwick way

One would think after having 50 plus nail polishes that she doesn't need anymore..lol Not me, companies keep coming out with new colors, textures and formulas and they keep getting better. I have read a few blogs about Nail Inc but could never get my hands on this brand do to that it was only sold just in London area plus there site does say they do not deliver outside of the UK and Ireland, that was a bummer for me. Until I found out that they are now selling it at Sephora (click here to check out). I have a Sephora down the street from my work so I called there first, the girl had no clue what I was talking about then she goes to say that since that store is small they don't carry everything which makes since now. The very next day I had off which I found myself driving down the highway lol to the mall OMG they had the display in this Sephora.

Julep nail polish Anne

Have you ever had a nail polish bottle for years upon years and finally break it out to find out that it was no longer good but wishing and hoping you could still try to use it? Well that was me with the polish Anne from Julep the other night an the bottle was new maybe a month old. It was so thick and gross I wanted to throw it out but in stand I wrote to the company last night to see what they can do and well I'm still waiting. That's not good customer service if you ask me.( I'm updating this part, I heard back from Julep today Susie contracted me and was so sorry she is sending me out a new Anne plus another polish with it, how sweet and cool is that, Now I can say what great customer service that is) I did take picture to show you. If you have gotten polishes from them have you had this problem or am I the only one.

Nail Polish Wear

Have you ever wondered how long someones polish last on their nails before they paint them again? I do, so I'm going to take after photo's of my nail polish wear and tell you how long I had them  painted and when they stated to chip. So lets get started

  left hand

right hand


I painted my nails last Thursday night, I first started seening signs of wear about saturday morning when I was in the shower one nail started to chip. Then after that I would say the wear on the nails started more towards Sunday, where you could see the tips wearing away. From there it was all down hill chipping. All in all it did last pretty long 7 days and you can see from the pictures what took place.

polish is Illamasqua Baptiste 2 coats

Illamasqua Nailpolish -Baptiste

I have always heard amazing things about Illamasqua products, when Jen and I were to Sephora a few weeks ago this nailpolish caught my eyes. When you look at it in the bottle the fuchsia  pulls through with a copper tone. It's just a Gorgeous color all around but when it's on the nails it's more of a dark purple. In the picture below I put 2 coats on. I paid $14.00 for the bottle

Have you ever tried Illamasqua products? If so what do you think I should try next?

OPI Mermaids Tears

Funny story last Thursday night I was painting my nails with Mermaids Tears by OPI, Justin had texted me asking what I was doing so I told him, then I sent a picture over to him of the polish he then sent a text back quote on quote"Ewww really? I don't like it. It reminds me of a swanky old hotel bathroom tile" what a thing to say lol, I on the other hand like the polish it's a grey mint green. I did repaint them for him since I was going to be with him for the whole weekend

Let me know what you think of the polish and if your significnat other ever says anything about your polish that you wear

Nubar Peacock Feathers polish

months and months ago I emailed Nubar to see if they had this polish in stock the customer representative told me that they are no longer making it ( the website say discountinued), then about a week ago I got a email from her (okay now who saves email from months an months ago I was stocked) saying that they have a few bottles back in stock OMG I was so excited you have no Idea well maybe you do lol, I called her after work an ordered it the shipping was not cheap $11.00 which is crazy but I had to have this polish it really looks like peacock feathers huss the name lol, the pictures I took don 't do to much for it but it's amazing douchrome were it goes from a purple to green and a orange brown color it's just amazing is all I have to say

here are a few picture

OPI Touring America Collection

OPI is coming out with a new collection called Touring America out this Fall/Winter 2011. When I was at the beauty discount store they had out the new world news this is OPI's news's for salon owners so that they know what is coming up an I grabbed one.

inside it say

Fall 2011, OPI takes to the American road with a palette of shades that brings a new spirit of classic styleto life. Autumn is the time to reinvent ourselves with stunning new colors-and what better inspiration than my recent road trip from coast to coast? These lacquers capture the Americana I love-an attitude of comfortable glamour and charismatic, wearable elegance. Truly united shades of allure.

Julep nailpolish

about a week ago MissJenFABULOUS did a vid about this brand of polish on youtube, as soon as I saw the polish Anne ( on her nails) I had to have it. She did say if you spend $30 you get $15 off using the code girlfriend. I then went to the site an check out all the colors it took me about a few days to decided my other color an it was Michelle. Keep in mind they are $14 each my total was $28 a little short of $30 so I order the nailpolish remover pads that you just throw in your purse for on the go remover great idea I think, those were about $4 or so then you also get free shipping

an of course I had to take pictures

Sephora by OPI Once a Cheetah, Always a Cheetah

OMG every time I went to Sephora this nail polish color jumped out at me, an don't you know that every time I went to go buy it that it was always out of stock just my luck don't you say lol.. Justin's a funny guy an knows that I love braises he wanted to do something an I didn't so he said he would buy me  my polish haha why wouldn't I take that right. He did pull through on it as always. The color is sooo crazy different then any orange I have seen it's kinda like a bronze orange with yellow in it so pretty for the summer an I love looking at it on my nails

Here's a few pictures plus a few extras of the cats and flowers around my yard

OPI Hong Kong Nail Polish

When I first saw this collection at the beauty store I was very interested to see if the new colors where going to be like the others they have already out. Well as far as I could tell they had about 4 new colors and the rest looked like similar shades they have already out. Jade is the new black really caught my eye it's really like no other green that OPI has or had out, the color is so pretty and very wearable as well. It has a blue under tone to it, it truely does look like a Jade color if you ask me. This picture does show off the true color too which I'm happy about.
