Polish #4- A polish that is "So Me"

On a non-polish related note, I am super excited it is Nov. it's my birthday month Yay, yes I'm one of those people that say I get a whole month. Then thanksgiving which is awesome. And I know that Christmas stuff is popping up EVERYWHERE already, But I refuse to acknowledge any of it until after my birthday and my brother birthday (which is 5 days after mine), I just hate how they try to shove it in our face and like no one has anything else going on in Nov or Dec beside Christmas, so I will not be doing any Christmas manis until Dec 1st.

I always countdown from Nov 1st til my birthday, It's on Nov 18 Yay and I'm going to be 22.
So 15 days left... I cannot believe how fast this year has gone, But oh well it's here and I"m just going to embrace it. Now on to what you actually came here to read...

At first I was not sure what to wear, but after telling my Bf what this polish was supposed to be he looked at me and said well Teal of course. So apparently this was not a hard polish to choose, maybe I am over thinking things. Who knows...

On to my pics, these were taken in direct sunlight, which made the color look a little washed out UGH but IRL it was not washed out at all. Without futher ado here they are...
 Used: 
Base coat
2 coats of Sinful Colors- Savage 
2 coats of Sinful Colors- Nail Junkie
Stamping colors- 
Color Club- Hot like lava
& Sinful Colors- Black on black
BM plate- 203
 So I attempted to double stamp on each nail, My right hand came out pretty well but my left hand didn't fair too well. 
Makes sense I suppose I am left handed so of course I could place it better with my left hand. 
It was all good though I liked both hands it looked pretty. 
I think I only had like a tiny chip when I finally removed this. And that was totally due to me "using my nails as tools" Yes I know bad bad me, at least it didn't break my nail at all.

Polish #3- A polish that makes me happy.

This color was hard to choose, All polish makes me happy isn't that kind of the point of this whole blog and my entire collection and the reason why I cannot stop buying polish. I was actually supposed to be on a no buy, for the last 3 or so months trying again at the beginning of every month and still failing miserably within a week or so. Yes I know bad me, But I just can't help it I want to buy all the pretty sparkly things, or not sparkly but you get the point. I love polish and I love buying it. My most recent "slip- up" was finding the Color Club Back to Boho Set A at ross, and the Wet N Wild Sale on Walgreens. Oh and Swapping with  someone to finally get my hand on the On The Prowl, Which so never made it to NM. What do they think that us New Mexicans don't like polish or LE collections? Well we do, Or at least I do and I know of a few others who do but I'm sure there are more Crazy polish lovers in this state.

So what was the point I was making? Oh yes my attemps at being "good" and not buying. Ha they were out the window so fast. It's not my fault blame the makeup companies that make just pretty colors and everything that I "need".

Ok so I will stop rambling for the moment to show you a polish that makes me happy. I went with the good ol' simple color that I have loved for a very long time. Pls excuse the mess these were taken without cleanup. And I really didn't realize how bad they looked till after taking pics, and changing my polish again. Sorry I've been busy lately, started a new job on monday and just haven't had the time to post.
 Used: 
Base Coat
2 coats Sinful Colors- Black on black
(there was no topcoat, because I added something on top of this but failed miserably, and it chipped the next day. I only wore this mani for like a day and a half.) 

Also this bottle has a wonkie brush, made it annoying to apply, But out of all the Sinful Colors I own this is the only one with a bad brush... 


 Anyone notice how I will ramble on about a polish or color before I even tell you what it is. LOL I'm not sure how this happens it just does.

Rainbows...

Yesterday I posted my least favorite polish... Instead of just changing it right away, I added some pretties, well a lot of pretties actually. I figured since I had been wanting to try this look and i already had white on my nails why not? Just a not I did go a little crazy with the pictures, as in I took alot of pictures but I had fun hehe. Without further ado... 
So I used a bunch of polish, below is a pic but I'll list them too: 
Base color is of course Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White on
Red: Icing- Flamingo Dancer
Orange: Color club- Wham! Pow!
Yellow: Color club- Almost Famous
Green: Nina Ultra Pro- Lime Light
Blue: Color Club- Chelsea Girl
Purple: China Glaze- Flying Dragon(Neon)

Stamping: plate - M78 (mash set) in Wet N Wild Black Creme
Glitter: Ulta- Glitter Top Coat (I love the crappy name for this polish BTW) 
and topped with Seche Vite

Ah- hem pls excuse the mess behind my polishes, I sat on floor in front of the coffee table, Catching up with  the show Dexter. Which is so awesome I actaully stopped watching it in the beginning of  season 4 but this season (6) looks so good, now I have to catch up. So I downloaded all of season 5 to our DVD gotta love VOD right, and getting season 4 disc by disc, just finished the 2nd disc and waiting on number 3. Yay. 

Ok you don't want to hear anymore about my tv habits I'll leave you with the rest of my pics to look at... Enjoy ...













I know these are not perfect, but I am super happy with it. Turned out better than I had pictured in my head. I like the idea of posting my challenge nails, then adding something to them. I can't say if I'll do it with every challenge mani, But it sure seems like I will most of the time. I dunno yet we'll see.

I do plan on leaving these on my nails for as long as I can stand it, which may be anywhere from 3-6 days. so as long as i don't get any chips I'll leave them, Lets hope I don't knock my hand into something... knowing me thought I'll just be itching for a change before it chips.
