New China Glaze Collections!!

I can't wait to go pick up the new Bohemian Luster Chrome nail polishes from China Glaze! AND I can't wait until October when they release their Halloween line, "WICKED".





They're all just so pretty!



I can't wait!!!

Like a little school girl! Now to wait until payday, and figure out which of each collection to get first, due to recent expenses these will have to be collected slowly : ( So here's hoping that my local stores don't sell out before I have the chance to get the collections!!! : )

blue screen of death and respritory problems

My computer is slowly but surely dying. This is the longest I've been able to be on it in weeks, probably more accurate to say months. I have several new polishes, and pictures that I'm planning on posting, problem is, none of that will likely happen until I get a new computer, which might be a while, so I might have to just give up on my sad attempt at nail blogging...for now...

In the mean time, I'm finding myself really into neons lately, and playing around with different combos, and layering, and crackle top coats, and just all around fun stuff. Also picked up Milani's 3D collection, which I LOVE! Other than that, just the normal every day stuff. Changing my nails too many times, and never able to decide on one mani for more than an entire day.

Have an upper respiratory infection and that has lead to nebulizer treatments and steroids which have my hands all shaky, so the last week or so my manis have been VERY simple. Have more pics on my phone to post, going to attempt that today. Here's hoping the PC cooperates : )

She's doing it again! Kayla Shevonne is having another give away!

My favorite nail blog to read by far is Kayla Shevonne's and it has nothing to do with the many give a ways she has, lol. This time she's giving away China Glaze's new Safari collection! I don't know if you've seen it, but there's a lot of pretty colors!!! I'm not Lion and Purr-fect Plum are the ones I'm most excited about. Check out her give away here...

Potential Dupes (waiting to confirm)

I ordered Orly's Goth yesterday, and while trying to decide what to do with my nails, my daughter picked out a color I forgot I had called Electric, by ICE. Now, I got to looking at it and I'm pretty sure it's the same as Orly's Goth, just waiting for the polish to get here, then I can test it out and see. : )

I decided that this week would be a sci-fi inspired nail week. So today I have on 2 coats of Electric and 1 coat of CG's Fairy Dust. It looks an awful lot like space, the black w/ stars and all. When I was done, all I could think in my head was the opening for Star Wars before the words start scrolling across. I''m pretty much loving it. Unfortunately I have no pics, my camera's battery charger has gone missing, and I've been left with just my phone which just doesn't pick up the sparkling beauty of certain things, so I will have to keep hunting for the charger, and hopefully have some swatches in my next post! I'm also waiting for my Sally Hansen's Pumpkin Spice, and some Kleancolor products that I won in auctions on Listia.com and things from Yardsellr.com. I love that I can get products on either website for nothing, or really close to it!

I have commissioned my brother in law to build me a nail polish rack! Circumstances being what they are I won't have a confirmed order until the end of July or after that, but I'm looking forward to being able to put my pretties on display. : P Kinda hoping I can find an alternative cause I don't want to spend the money, but my poor rubbermaid 3 drawer thing is gonna fall apart if I put much more into it's drawers.

Really wish I had swatches to post! : (  There's always next time : ) If I can't find my battery charger I may have to settle for the phone pictures.. We'll see what happens I suppose...

Cleaning Day....

Well, to be more accurate, it's cleaning weekend, lol. My nail polishes almost met their demise yesterday when the shoe boxes I've been storing everything in decided they didn't want to hold themselves together anymore, imagine my small amount of panic (ok LARGE amount of panic lol) as I heard the bottle clinking on the tile floor. LUCKILY NONE BROKE!! So, I used some duct tape to put two of the boxes back together, and transferred my cotton, remover, sponges, brushes, plates, stampers, etc... into the boxes, and the nail polish back into the 3 drawer rubber maid thing where they started... Not entirely sure why I ever changed that, lol.

Yesterday I got my package of Kleancolor polishes from beautyjoint.com... After reading a blog about their poor customer service, and just a handful of negative reviews I was a bit worried about ordering from them, but the $1.75 a bottle price was just too tempting for me. So, I got a couple holos, a metallic red, and yet another black. All with shipping was less than $11. Seems pretty decent to me! One of the few times I decided to shell out more then that amount on any kinda of polish was my Spectraflair top coat. Pretty sure that was worth it though, : )

That's pretty much it for today... Got some pictures saved on my phone, and I need to clean the phone out, so the next post or two will likely just be swatch pics. : ) Have a good day everyone!

Spectraflair awesomeness!

I got my spectraflair top coat yesterday! And it's just awesome! I love the holographic nail polishes, and the flip flop paint job ones as well. I was not disappointed at all with the spectraflair! I got it on ebay. The lady makes it herself and it's just awesome. Adds a bit of flare to any color, and if I haven't made it clear... I LOVE IT!

She sells it in multiple sizes, and it has so far worked with every brand of polish I own. Depending on how many coats you use seems to decide how intense the holographic effect is. I personally just use 1 thin coat for a subtle effect. And even "subtle" it's still impressive. : )

Also got Milani's Black Berry Baby. The color was a little off of what I was expecting (monitor settings and all that) but it's still a lovely burgundy-ish maroon and that's my favorite color, so of course I like it : ).
