Welcome Ohm

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a good week. Sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been super busy!! This is one coat of Barielle - Welcome Ohm. This is probably the second time I'm showing you this color but I really love it and it's perfect for fall.





I'm sorry this is such a short post... today I actually found out that my friend died in a car accident around 1:45 am this morning. I am still in shock... this is devastating. R.I.P. JS <3 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. The weather is supposed to be really nice here so I have that to look forward to!!

Lady Muck... such an appropriate color choice for this weather!

Hello everyone!! I'm not sure how the weather has been where you live but it's been cool, cloudy and a little rainy here in the Carolinas! I picked up this polish from Butter London when Ulta had the BOGO Free sale. I absolutely love this color! I don't have anything else like it. I've really been into blues lately and this one did not disappoint! This is a pale grayish blue with subtle silver/white micro shimmer. It's simply gorgeous! It will be great for winter, especially with some snowflakes stamped on top! This is two coats of Lady Muck!


Great application! Went on very very smoothly!




After wearing this for three days (which is a long time for me!) and not wanting to take this polish off I added a coat of Wet N Wild - Hallucinate and then a coat of NYC Starry Silver Glitter. It really adds some pizzaz!


Anddddd then after that I decided to stamp over it with an image from BM21 with Konad special white polish. 

What do you guys think!? Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. :)

HAAAUUULLLL

Okay over the past week I received some nail mail from Traci (The TraceFace Philes) I bought three OPI polishes from her blog sale. She still has some great stuff so go check it out! She shipped very quickly and the packaging was adorable! Definitely happy with that purchase :) I also picked up some other polishes over the past week including some Butter London polishes on Tuesday when Ulta had that awesome sale! Okay, on to pictures!


Milani 3D: HD & Hi-Res 
Sunday I picked up these two Milani 3D polishes at CVS since they were BOGO 1/2 off. I LOVE THEM! I plan on going back and getting all of the other colors as well!


OPI: Jade is the New Black, In My Back Pocket & Pamplona Purple
These are the 3 polishes I ordered from Traci. YAY!! I'm so happy! They are all gorgeous and perfect for Halloween and fall <3


China Glaze: In Awe of Amber & Lemon Fizz
I also picked these two up at Sally's when I was buying more acetone because they were on clearance for $1.99!


Butter London: Big Smoke, Lady Muck, All Hail the Queen & Snog
Ulta: Eye Popping Poppy & Pinata-yada-yada

I LOVE THESE BUTTER LONDON POLISHES They are all gorgeous! The only polish they were sold out of was West End Wonderland, which is the one I reallyyyy wanted but that's okay! I am very happy with all of these :)

Milani 3D !

Hey everyone! I hope you have all had a good week so far! If you haven't.. it's almost over :P This past week I have picked up a LOT of polish and received some nail mail  as well :) I post post a haul later today because I got some awesome stuff! One of the polishes I purchased was Milani 3D in HD (the silver one). It's not the same type of holo as China Glaze OMG but I still love it! I have seen several swatches and liked it a lot but when I saw them in my CVS they looked very boring so I was hesitant to pick any up but I'm so glad I did! I picked up HD and Hi-Res (purple) I am very pleased with both! This is three coats topped with Rimmel Base/Top coat.





Absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Blackened Bleu

Hello everyone! Today I have Barielle - Blackened Bleu. I LOVE THIS COLOR! I looooove dark colors anyway and I'm not usually very fond of blue but this is awesome. This is three coats and I added a little blue sticker decal for a pop.

This one is blurry but it shows the color really well.


What do you guys think? :)

Fatigued

This is probably my favorite color for fall.. and not just for nail color! This color looks awesome on me :) I have an olive skin tone and I dye my hair a deep burgundy color so green really compliments me! I love green! This is two coats of Sonia Kashuk - Fatigued.  This will most definitely be my fall go-to color!



What's your fall go-to color?

Black Magic

Here's a swatch from this past weekend's haul! I have for you today Wet N' Wild Fantasy Makers - Black Magic. It's kind of an odd black color but it's packed with lots of different colored micro glitter. I really like it! And the packaging is SERIOUSLY adorable!! I love Halloween stuff!!



Have you picked up any of the Fantasy Makers stuff?

Happy Monday!

Mermaid's Lagoon

I stopped by RiteAid yesterday to pick up a few of the new Jesse's Girl polishes by JulieG, I wanted them all but since I have a limited polish budget (lol) I grabbed Mermaid's Lagoon. Definitely the most unique and gorgeous shade out of the set!! It was pretty opaque but I still did two coats. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY! The only down-side to this polish is that it stained my nails and fingers HORRIBLY!!! I used a base coat but it still stained them. I ended up hitting my hand on my desk and ruined the entire mani so I was going to re-do it until I saw my blue nails and fingers!!  I still love this color. It's a beautiful turquoise/teal with a gold or yellow shimmer. <3 ! On to pictures!


It's hard to see the shimmer on my nails but it this second picture you can definitely see it in the bottle!

What do you guys think? Have you picked up any polishes from this collection or do you plan to?


 Let me know! I love to read your comments :)

Epic Haul!

Hello ladies :) I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend so far! I have lots of goodies to show you today/tonight!! I got my package from Ulta in the mail yesterday, my package from Urban Decay came in today and I also went back to Ulta and got some more stuff today lol! I actually ordered from UD twice before in the past few weeks while they were having their big sale. One of the items was left out of my order (which was a loose pigment eye shadow that only cost a dollar) so as an apology, they sent me a $20 credit + free shipping! So I stocked up on some more sale items :) In my previous orders I bought 3 cream shadows (Rehab, Midnight Rodeo and Suburbia) and 5 loose pigment shadows (Goddess, Rockstar, Shattered, Asphyxia, and Smog). Plus, some goodies for my little sister for her birthday. <3 Alright, so here's the picture from this weekend's haul!

Okay, I know I suck....

I've been seriously slacking on posts.... again! I can't help my life is so crazy! Thankfully, I have this weekend off so I will doing lots of nail art :D I also got my package from Ulta today, woohoo!! I will post a haul tomorrow, because I actually plan on going up to Ulta to do some more shopping lol!

Oh and sadly today my dad was in a horrible car accident, but everyone is okay so don't worry! The other driver's car (who is actually an acquaintance of my brother) and my dad's car were both totaled. The other driver was driving towards my dad and drifted into my dad's lane because he was texting. The guy saw that he was in the other lane and jerked the wheel over and hit a patch of gravel on the side of the road and spun out right in front of my dad. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. If it had been a head-on collision they would probably both be dead. Even though my dad is totally fine (other than some bruising and whip-lash) I am really shook up over this and I almost feel like I'm going to tear up. Especially after seeing pictures!! Here I'll post one:


My dad's car is on the left. Look how much damage that is! Eeeep! I can feel a lump in my throat so I'm going to stop talking hahaha. I am so glad he's okay!!!!!!

I know this was a totally random and non-polish related post but I felt like sharing. Please be careful out there! Texting or talking on the phone while driving can be very dangerous. You not only put your life in danger but others' as well. Stay safe! & have an awesome Friday night! :)

Flip Flop Fantasy

This is will probably always been one of my all-time favorites. I hate that I absolutely HAVE to have atleast three coats because it's a neon but I LOVE it! This is three coats of China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy. :)




I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
