Halloween Challenge: Trick or Treats

Hello everyone! I know, I know... I am awful at keeping up with my blog but I do still keep up with reading posts from other bloggers!! I will make it up to you though... I am doing this Halloween Challenge! I WILL do all of them :) I have seen another one also but this one is a little different!

The first day is "Trick or Treats" so of course I went with candy corn... I LOVE candy corn nails :)

Here is the challenge :)

Products used:

OPI Natural base coat

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

China Glaze Papaya Punch

Milani White

Kiss silver glitter stripe polish

Butter London Hardwear top coat

Thanks for stopping by!! Are you guys excited for Halloween yet or what!? :D

CATCHING UP!: Old manis that I never posted!

As you all know, while I was in school I was extremely busy! I did paint my nails and take pictures but I just never posted them! So here are a few throw backs! Keep in mind, I had to keep my nails really short :(

Index, middle, pinky: Wet N Wild Black Creme

Thumb & ring: Chine Glaze Icicle topped with OPI Crown Me Already

Chine Glaze Pink Voltage

Wet N Wild On a Trip w/ Northern Lights and China Glaze Snow Globe on the tips

China Glaze Lemon Fizz striped with Kiss White striper and some nail stickers :)

Hope you enjoyed!!

GLITTERBOMB THURSDAY & update

Hello ladies!! As some of you may know, I am obsessed with glitter & anything sparkly (my mom calls me a blackbird hahaha)!!! So I have decided to start a weekly post for myself called GlitterBomb Thursday! I am really excited to do this :) So here is my first GB post:

What I used:

OPI Natural Nail base coat

China Glaze - Icicle (one coat)

OPI - Crown Me Already! (one coat)

China Glaze - Snow Globe (one coat)

Seche Vit

I LOVE THIS GLITTER COMBO!!! I don't really care for Snow Globe over solid colored polish, but it looks FABULOUS over glitters! CMA is hands down my FAVORITE glitter in the entire world! It's so dense and super gorgeous!

As for the update... I start massage school on Monday... YAY! I am SO excited you guys!! I have been waiting to do this for a while and I'm really excited to finally start school. I will be a full-time student and I will have class Mon-Fri so I may slack off a bit on my blog. but I assure you my nails will always be beautifully polished! ;) Because of school (and the loan money that will cover most of my bills, thankfully!) my hours will be cut at work so I may actually end up having more time to spend on my blog (since I get out of school at 3 and will only be working three days a week)! The only down-side to being in school is that I will have to keep my nails very short while I'm still practicing so I don't scratch anyone :( My massage therapist is able to have her nails longer (about as long as I let mine get) and she has never scratched me but she has also had more practice! So I am warning you now... you will be seeing nubs for a while! :(

I hope you guys enjoy my weekly glitterbombs, because I sure love having outrageously sparkly nails ;)

Have a fabulous day! <3

Share the Love: Day 5. Wrapping up my 5 Days of Glitter!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and if you are shopping today or already did your shopping on Black Friday, I hope you get everything you need and don't get trampled lol! Today is the last day in my journey with four other amazing bloggers in our Share the Love week. We each did a guest post on each other's blogs and we're finishing up the week by posting our last themed mani on our own blogs. As you may know, my theme for the week was glitter (honesly.. are you surprised? lol). I figured in honor of Black Friday and the big kick-off for Christmas shopping I would do a Christmas themed glitter manicure. I really like how this came out!

What I used:

OPI- Natural Nail Base Coat

Sally Hansen - French manicure natural color

China Glaze - Twinkle Lights (tips)

Sinful Colors nail art - Be My Valentine (red)

Sinful Colors nail art - Jungle (green)

Seche Vite - top coat

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you all had a GREAT day (including those of you who do not celebrate)! I am sooooo full! The mani I'm rocking today is one I've actually been wearing since Monday! I never wear polish this long but it's so beautiful.. I can't seem to bring myself to remove it! I free-handed french tips with China Glaze - Icicle and then  added a coat of OPI - Crown Me Already!

I know I am SO late on this....

Hey everyone! TGIF!! Okay this is my nails from... LAST Friday/Saturday! Can you believe I took so long to post this!? I started using a new camera and I lost the cable to upload pictures so I had to order a card reader and can finally upload the pics! Anyway! This is what I wore with my costume (I was a witch) for a Halloween party last weekend :)

Please excuse the HUGE chip on my middle finger... these pictures were taken after the party!

This is three coats of China Glaze - Frosty then I stamped an image from plate BM209 with Wet N Wild - Black Creme. Then I topped it off with a spider nail decal and Seche Vite!

Pink Wednesday + Support BCA!

Hello ladies. Happy Wednesday! For many of you, your work week is half over! YAY! For today's mani I am using China Glaze - Go Go Pink that came in a pack from Sally's with Seche Vite for Breast Cancer Awareness. This is three coats with one coat of OPI - Princesses Rule! and topped off with a coat of SV. :)

Unfortunately, my camera does NOT like taking pictures of glittery nails :( at least the color shows up nicely!

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 :)

Piiiiiink Wednesday!

I can't believe the week is already halfway over! I'm glad though because that means the weekend isn't far away!! For today's Pink Wednesday, I used two coats of Color Club - Space Case topped off with China Glaze patent leather top coat :) such a fun sparkly pink!!

Once again, please ignore the random cat hair on my hand! I don't know how they always manage to make an appearance in my pictures! hahaha

 Well I hope you all enjoy the rest of your day!

My first french mani!

Good morning everyone! I have a french manicure to show you today! I have had acrylics with white tips before, but I have never had a french manicure or done one myself! I was so excited for my nails to actually be long enough without looking dumb :) So here you go!

It's not perfect but it turned out better than I hoped!! I used Sally Hansen French Manicure - Natural color and then used  a KISS nail art polish in white. Then I added a flower sticker and one coat of China Glaze - Patent Leather Top Coat. :) <3

Swatches from the giveaway package from You Nailed It!

As you may have read in my last post, I recently won a giveaway hosted by You nailed it! and I received my package in the mail today! So here's a quick post so you can see the swatches! They are all fabulous polishes!!!! :)

China Glaze - Atelier Tulle

Color Club blue polish (not sure of the name... please message me if you have any idea what the name of it is or where the name would be located on the bottle!!)

Orly - Hook Up

Hook up is definitely my favorite! Mostly because yellow is my favorite color :D but all of these polishes applied wonderfully! I seriously cannot get over how much I love these :) They looked great in the pic, but now that they are in my hands they look even better! <3

Mini-Haul x3 !

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :) Okay so I am suuuuuuuuuuuper excited to tell you guys this! Today, I had to run to Sally's because I needed polish remover. When I walked in, I went straight for the clearance bins! I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! Two, yes, TWO of the polishes I have been meaning to grab were on clearance for $1.99!! So, of course, I grabbed both (what a steal!) They were China Glaze - Papaya Punch and Orly - Bubbly Bombshell! If that wasn't awesome enough, I had a package waiting for me when I got home!!!! A few weeks back, I won a giveaway from You nailed it! Well I received my package in the mail today!!! The package included three mini nail polishes: China Glaze - Atelier Tulle, Orly - Hook Up & Color Club... but I don't know the name of it! I don't know where the names are located on the bottles because this is my first color club polish! But I can tell you that it is a BEAUTIFUL metallic-y blue. I must say, I was impressed with how well this polish applied!! :)  I absolutely ADORE every polish she sent :) <3 <3 <3

Here's a pic of all the bottles:

Left to Right: Orly -Bubbly Bombshell

Sinful Colors -Verbena

Sinful Colors - Pink Forever

China Glaze - Atelier Tulle

Orly - Hook Up

The Color Club polish didn't fit into the first picture with all of the bottles :( !

As you can see, I also picked up three additional polishes as well: Sally Girl - Pea-Body, Sinful Colors - Pink Forever & Verbena. And for all of these polishes I only payed $9!! :)

If you haven't checked out or are already following You nailed it! then definitely go check her out, she's fabulous!!! (I provided a link above, but here is another one: click here! :)

Pink Wednesday!

Good morning, all! :) Today is the last day I work until my beach trip! I am soooo excited! Unfortunately I have to work ALL day :( but hopefully it will go by fast :D For pink Wednesday today I picked out my absolute FAVORITE summer nail polish: Chine Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy from the Poolside collection! It's more of a neon coral but I still think it can count as pink :P this is the only nail polish I am bring to the beach because no other color seems like a better choice ;) This is two coat of Flip Flop Fantasy with one coat of China Glaze Patent Leather Top Coat (because the few polishes I have from the Poolside collection are semi-matte).

The only thing about this polish is that it is SO hard to capture the true color!! IRL it's SUPER bright neon, which is why I love it <3 but it just doesn't show up right in any picture I have ever seen (including other people's swatches) oh well!

happy hump day :)

xoxo Heather
