The Baby Blues

Hi there!

I'm sorry for my disappearance last week. Life got super busy and things were just a little hectic! I had like 0 time it seemed. I have no kids but school is starting soon for me too and as crazy as it’s been getting ready for that- I can't even imagine how parents can do it! High - five to you. You deserve a glass bottle of wine. lolol. Oy.

Today I have a super pretty, blue holographic to show you! It is from the brand Above the Curve. This is the only color I have from them right now but, I recently won a giveaway that was sponsored by them! So I am pretty excited because I loved this color pretty hard. I am generally not a huge fan of the color baby blue but for some reason this one really caught my eye and the holographic is pretty amazing. Very colorful!


 $1 of every bottle of nail polish they sell goes to Shriners Children's Hospital. If you would like more information on their mission check out their facebook page!! You can check out their shop here! They have lots of fun colors! They are currently $6-7 on sale right now, so it is a perfect time to try them!!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Metallic mania

Oh my gosh, I just love metallics so much and recently have been introduced to the KleanColor metallics! Omg I love them so much!! Some of my favorite polishes. I did that post not too long ago using two of the three that I got from my swap group I am in. Last week, I won a contest from Chansi's Mani Madness and the prize was this!



I was so excited when I found out I won!!!!

It was so funny, I had used KleanColor polishes before, and while talking to Chansi, she asked if they were stinky like everyone says... I told her no, that I don't remember them being stinky. Then I did this mani... lol Before I had only used 1 color at a time, or used multiple, but not a whole lot of polish, just dots or something, so I never noticed. When I did this mani I got light headed and almost quit cuz the smell was so bad. lol I guess using 3 of them at once, you really will notice the smell. haha I mean if I would have had a fan blowing or something it probably wouldn't have been so bad, but WHEW. Once I put a top coat over it and washed my hands, it wasn't that bad.

This mani is so fun and easy to do. Just paint a single color as your base. I used Metallic Yellow. I didn't realize how bad of a job I did with 1 coat, but when the flash went off, you could really see all the spots I missed. You can't really tell in this pic though.



Then take your second color after the base dries a little and dab the end of your brush in multiple places on your nail. I used Metallic Jungle, and I made a mess. lol



Once that dries a little, do the same with a third color. Keep doing this for however many colors you want to use. I think 3 is perfect. You might have to come back with a few extra dabs of the second color over the top, depending on how well you do it. Last color I used was Metallic Pink.



Hope you guys enjoyed my post! I have a fun post planned for next week! Have a great week! xoLeah

Havasu blue

Hi there!!

I really really love the Wet n Wild Fergie collection. I don't think I can say it enough! The colors are amazing, the formulas are great and the price is perfect! If you don't have a Walgreens card I REALLY recommend that you get one. They are free and they save you a lot of money ! And they have tons of awesome deals with nail polish!

The color I want to share with you today is Havasu blue from the Fergie collection. I so love this polish. Errthing about it I love!! I showed this to you as a base for the My Polish is POPPIN ( don't forget about our code! It's good until Aug. 15th! )  and I want to show it to you by itself. Here it is with two coats. It was kind of hard to get a photo of the color in its true form, the ones without flash are pretty close. When I went to my Walgreens yesterday they had very slim pickins'. This was from her summer collection.


This color looks soooooo good by itself or with a glitter topper. I loved the way it looked on my nails and the way it made my nails look.


Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

My Polish Is Poppin

Ok, so Panacea already did her post about the AWESOME polish that Maria from NailNation3000 made specially for us! You can find her post here. She used blue and yellow for her base to show you, so I decided I would try it over some different colors to show you some more range. Then I thought, why don't I just pick a color for each nail and do it that way!



Panacea and I were SOOOOO excited when Maria told us she was doing this and when she finally showed us! This stuff is so awesome!! She of course named it after us, so its called My Polish Is Poppin'. It works so well with tons of colors! I did have to scrape a lil for some big glitters, but I didn't really mind because of how awesome it is! lol Not only did she make us an awesome polish, but she also made us a code to share with our fans for a discount!! How awesome!!

I used about 3 coats when I did mine because I wanted it to be really sparkly! My thumb is Metallic Green by Klean Colors, then I used Metallic Purple by Klean Colors, then Rapid Red by Sally Hansen Insta Dri, then I believe it might be Flashy Fuschia by Sally Hansen Insta Dri, then I used Ebony Hates Chris by Wet n Wild Fast Dry.









I just love how many colors it could go over, and how FUN it is!! We couldn't thank Maria enough for doing this for us! The code only lasts until August 15th for 20% off any order over $25 (before shipping) in NailNation3000's Store Envy shop. The code is POPPIN20. The polish made for us is a very limited run, so if you want to get it, make sure you get it fast! You can purchase the polish or any of her other polishes by clicking the link here.

Thanks for reading, hope you guys enjoy! Have a great week! xoLeah

Birthday & Anniversary nails!!

Hi there!!

July is a pretty big deal for me! :D. My Birthday is the 6th and my Anniversary is on the 16th. This year my Husband and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary. I did my nails for both :D. I really was not a huge fan of my birthday nails at all, but my nails I did for my anniversary. I really really loved them. I was so impressed and just very happy with my nails! They came out like exactly as I was thinking in my head!

Here are my Birthday nails! I used Wet n Wild Megalast - Sunspot for the base, and ORLY - right amount of evil for my glittery accent nail and on my thumb. I used Zoya pixie dust - in liberty, stevie and solange for the balloons on my ring finger and Zoya liberty for the balloon on my pinkie. LA Colors - Energy Source for the strings. I was not really pleased with how these turned out but I figured I would show them still!! 


Here are my Anniversary nails!! I really was a big fan of them! I kept showing them off and looking at them! I used butter LONDON Silly Billy as the base. Hubby got it for me for our anniversary, along with some really nice orange sunglasses!! For the glittery orange I used the orange Leah got me for my Birthday. It is Sally Hansen Hot Lava, which she posted a blog post about too! I really loved this color!!! I just used the brush on the bottle and kind of drew diagonal line and painted up. And I put the Silver Art pen that Leah got me on top! I put a nice sticker on my pointer finger, just to accent everything.


I thought for sure that since it came out like exactly how I was thinking, that I was gonna have some luck at the casino, but I think I used all my luck on my nails lolol.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Darcy

Hi there!

A few weeks ago I showed you this color as a base to My polish is POPPIN and today I want to show it to you by itself.

I really really love yellow nail polish. It doesn't always look that great on me but I still like it!

Darcy is a creamy yellow, almost neon yellow but not quite. This is from the Zoya Stunning summer collection! The first coat was very thin and streaky but, with two coats I think this polish is just so gorgeous!!




I really love this color. When I first put it on I was like ew I hate this because it was so streaky and thin. After I put on the second coat. I was very happy.  I don't have much experience with cream polishes but I am totally a fan. I hope there will be more cream collections!!!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!
