Pretty Little Liars!

Hi there!

I wanted to post this mani for the Pretty Little Liars premiere but I never got a chance to do it. I was just too excited for PLL and I was running a flash giveaway on our page. That was really fun! Did you watch the premier? It was so good wasn't it?!?! I am really LOVING this season so far!

I wanted to do a super fun and awesome nail art mani but time just did not allow. WHY can there not be like one extra day in the week.... Where no one works or does anything except paint their nails? I think that would be awesome and the world would be a lot happier!

For my PLL nails I decided on something bright and glittery. I wanted a bright pink so I went with Wet n Wild Fergie collection - Fergalicious with an accent nail with silver glitter. I used Wet n Wild Fast Dry- Teasy Peasy.

I know I use this hot pink a lot. It's my favorite go to hot pink. I just love it. I was really surprised how well the glitter covered. I used 2 coats but it covered well with just one.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Nail party

So a few days ago I went to my parents house for two days. They live only 20 minutes away, but its nice to get away from responsibility and just spend time with my babies. We live in an apartment and my parents live in the country sort of, so lots more space for the kids to play!

While there I got the urge to do nails. My moms best friend lives with her and is a nail tech and she kept saying we should have a nail party, so we did!

(My mom, Debbie on the left. Felicia, her best friend on the right.)

Felicia, my moms friend, did my moms fingers and I did my moms toes. Well Felicia did the nail art, I just painted them. I also did my own nails twice. I didn't like them the first time so I tried something else and ended up not liking that either and liking what I had originally done after all.

(Moms fingers and toes. Those are little dragon flies and gems :D)

It was actually pretty funny though because after my mom had her nails done she went to bed and Felicia and I were sitting there talking about freaky stuff that has happened to us living in my parents house. As we were talking about it I was doing my nails. Halfway thru, we were talking about the time one of my pictures flew off the wall and then the picture right behind me fell off the wall. Felicia and I both screamed bloody murder and bolted upstairs! Come to find out there was a dinky, bent nail on the wall holding it up barely. We turned on the fan and that's why it fell. Still scared us shitless! Lol So being frazzled, sleepy, and no longer in the mood to paint my nails they turned out like crap. Lol this was the second one I mentioned. So yea, after that I was looking at pics of the first mani and I was like man, I should have kept that on! Haha oh well.

For the first mani I used two colors by Urban Outfitters that Panacea sent to me for my birthday. I'm not really in to milky colors, but I really like this one. The milky color is called Bright Lights. The accent nail is Scorcher.

(First mani)

(Second mani)

For the second mani I used Sinful Shines Devious. I really love this color a lot. It has a patent leather looking finish and its gorgeous. On top I used Juleps Carly. This blue is so gorgeous! I was going for a fade and then full glitter on the accent nail, but this was the part I did after almost peeing myself. Haha so I screwed it up.

I hope that you guys enjoyed my post! Have a great week! xoLeah

Destiny & Miranda

Hi there :)

Leah and I are in a nail polish group called Adopt a Friend on Facebook. I am loving it so far! I have met so many amazing  people. My May buddy and I actually live in the same state, just kind of far away from each other, which is cool!

When I opened her package I was so in shock I was so excited!! It was amazing.

I couldn't wait to try those Zoya Pixie Dusts! Orange is my favorite color so when I saw that Zoya had 2 oranges in their Summer Collection I was so excited! I HAD to have them! The one in this package is my favorite!! I didn't think I would care for the pink pixie but I saw a swatch and I really liked it and all the Ulta's near me that I checked were out of that one. Yayy I am so happy I got it!

I love love love these two colors together. Perfect. I am such a fan of the pixies! I love love love the pixies!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Cosmic Dust

Hi there :)

Around mid- May , Ulta was having a sale. Buy 2 get 1free on Zoya, China Glaze, Piggy Polish and Orly. They had the China Glaze Hologram Holographic collection included in the sale and I also had a coupon for 20% off my total order. I’ve become totally obsessed with holographics lately so I was pretty excited to try the new collection. 

One of the colors I chose was Cosmic Dust. It’s a grey/silver base holographic. Putting this polish on, instantly I was pretty disappointed. The coverage was eh. I could not get it to go on nicely. It was super thick, it kept clumping up and tugging the polish with every stroke. It made my peely nails look SO bad. And the holographic left a little something to be desired.  Anytime I use China Glaze anymore I become less and less a fan. Their polishes barely last for me. By the time I had washed my hands after using the bathroom for the first time, it was already chipping.  Looking back if I was going to spend the 14$ on a holographic nail polish I wish I would have spent my money on a nailnation polish because the holographics are ridiculous amazing, AND the polish lasts FOR-EV-ER!

                                               At least I had a coupon, Right!

Here are some pictures. I'm sorry that my nails look so terrble!

 Have you tried the new Holographic collection? What did you think, if you have?

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Stormy Dots

You are probably wondering why I called this mani Stormy Dots. Well the dots part is obvious, but let me show you what I got interrupted with while doing this mani....

I could see the dark clouds rolling in and I could hear lots of thunder in the distance. So I stopped to admire the clouds. (I have a thing for clouds) While standing there watching out my balcony window my phone starts making a noise i've never heard before. We had a tornado warning! What?! I have an app on my phone and it didnt even tell me that we had a severe thunderstorm watch or warning. So it came out of nowhere! I was like omg! My kids were sleeping, my hubby was sleeping. He had his computer on, he was using his external hard drive trying to export a dance recital he filmed and edited. He has a videography business. Broken Glass Media

So, I flip on the TV and am looking for the local news to cut through to report this tornado warning happening, I find nothing. I was so confused. I look outside, by this time, the storm was moving so fast that it was already over us so I wasn't too worried anymore. Well, about 10-15 minutes from where I live, there was some REAL bad weather happening. A possible tornado touchdown, HUGE amounts of hail, like it was covering peoples yards like snow, tons of rain, high winds, trees knocked over, power outages. We had bad rain, a few drops of hail, and some non-stop thunder with a few flicks of lightning. We were lucky. The news did eventually kick in, they were being slow. They never reported a confirmed touchdown, but a friend of my sisters took a pic of a tornado in the distance touching down. She said it was small and didnt last long thankfully. Fifteen minutes later this is what it looked like over my apartment.

It kept doing that on and off all day. Dark scary clouds rolled in, then it was bright and sunny! There was even one point where it was pouring buckets and the sun was shining so bright I could barely look outside! It was ridiculous weather, but anyone who lives in Michigan knows this is somewhat normal. lol

So anywaaaaays.... Nails. haha Sorry! XD

Ok, so Panacea and I have mentioned this a few times at least, but we're in a Adopt a Friend group in Facebook where you sign up, receive a nail mail buddy, then you exchange nail related items. You get a new friend each month, its super fun! Anyway, I had on my wishlist that I wanted some of the Klean Colors Metallic's. My May buddy sent me some!! I was so excited! 

I kept seeing some really cool manis with a matte finish, and I have really been wanting to do one. Someone had told me that these stamped really well so I thought I would try it with a matte black underneath. Well I don't have a matte black, so I decided to use my Julep Matte Top Coat over my black polish, Wet n Wild's Ebony Hates Chris. Turned out pretty good. I love the matte look, especially on black! 

I forgot to take a pic with the matte on, but you can see how shiny it is by itself and then see how well the matte top coat worked after. Good stuff!

I went to try to stamp it, tried a few different designs and it just wouldn't work. I don't know why, maybe it was because I had the fan blowing next to me that it was drying to fast... but I gave up. So I decided to just use my dotting tool and do polka dots. 

I took pics before I got all the extra polish off my fingers. lol So don't mind it please. XD

Here is what I used for my mani! Metallic Green by Klean Colors, Metallic Purple Fuschia, Ebony Loves Chris by Wet n Wild, and Juleps Matte Top Coat.

Here is a pic of my nails with the ring that she sent me with my Metallic Fuschia!

I hope that you guys enjoyed my post and I didn't bore you too much with my story about the storm! lol Have a great week! xoLeah

Purple Polka-dot bikini & Shocked

Hi there :)

I was at Walgreens like a week or two ago and I saw new Fergie colors! Omg!  I am not really much of a fan of Fergie's music, but I seriously LOVE her polish collection. They were buy one at 3.99$ get one 50% off.. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend but I was like I don’t even care I love these!!!! I picked two and I had a few other little things, at the checkout I used my Walgreens card and my total was only like $6.38 and I was like oh…. THESE POLISHES ARE CHEAPER WITH MY CARD??!?!? I felt like I won the nail polish lottery! 

One of the colors I picked was Purple Polka-dot Bikini. It’s a gorgeous purple, it reminds me of the crayon Purple Mountains' Majesty. It was kind of hard to pick up the true color on my camera, in a lot of the lighting the pictures were coming out blue.  But thankfully I did get a few good shots!

                                          ( ^ That's my boy cat in the background there! ^)

Isn't is so pretty?! I just love it!  This is two coats and if I was just wearing it by itself I would probably go with three.

I decided to use one of the new polishes I got recently from Wal Mart. It's from a brand that is kind of new to me, Salon Perfect. I have a few polishes I bought a while ago but never used because they never replied if they were cruelty free. Leah had messaged them and they replied and yes they are cruelty free! I read that they are actually an off brand to China Glaze but I can't find the article I read. If I find it I will update this post! 

The color is called Shocked. Its a blue, pink and purple glitter mix and it actually dries with a grit to it. It reminded me of the Feathers polish from Nails Inc. The blue glitter in this polish is so dope!  In some lights it's almost iridescent blue but in some lights it's just blue matte glitter. Super cool. 

I actually really loved how this turned out. I even got a few compliments on it! :D It was a really big pain to get off, but I think mostly because I am out of cotton balls and I only have cotton squares and they suck. Even still , totally worth it! 

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy!

True Blood

I know its not Tuesday, but OMG OMG OMG!!! TRUE BLOOD IS BACK TOMORROW!!! I am so excited! This is probably my favorite show, this or Shameless. It might be a tie. lol

I wanted to do a mani for the premiere. I had lots of fun doing it and I even did both hands! haha Usually when I do something more than just a simple paint job I only do one hand like that. I loved it so much though that I just had to do it on both hands.

Is anyone else going to be watching the premiere tomorrow? For anyone interested, it starts at 9 on HBO. I don't recommend watching it though if you haven't watched before. You need to watch it all to understand a lot of whats going on. Here is the trailer for season 6.

For my mani, I used the black and white Art Club nail art duo pens in black and white for the writing and fangs. For the blood I used Devious from the new Sinful Shine line. For my ring finger I used the Julep Matte top coat. The red on my pointer and pinky is Taking The Red-Eye by Wet n Wild Megalast. The black is Wet n Wild Fast Dry in Ebony Hates Chris.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and has a great week! xoLeah
