Neon Water Marble

Hey guys!

I've been seeing a lot of nude colors mixed with some neon colors all over from fashion to home decor and everything in between so I figured I would give it a shot on my nails! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped but I still liked the end result.

The base color I used was Blank Canvas Cream from Finger Paints. This is one of my favorite nudes. It goes really well with my skin tone and just a nice nude for me!

The colors I used in the marbling were all from China Glaze, from left to right: Fuchsia, Coral Star, and White Cap. 

The main problem I had with this water marble is that I used a bowl instead of a cup like I usually do. The polish didn't want to spread out to the edges of the bowl and if it did spread out, it would dry quickly. I just kept going and hoped for the best. It didn't turn out awfully but I was hoping for better. Hope you liked it!

Dress Me Up

Hey guys!

Here is one of the Hunger Games Colors from the Capitol in Dress Me Up from China Glaze. I LOVE this color, it is the perfect nude/light rosey pink color. It's just beautiful. I could wear this one a lot and I don't say that about many colors, especially a nude.

There will be a few more from this collection to come! What does everyone else think of this collection?

OPI Play the Peonies!

Hi Everyone! Ahh!! I have been so busy with work! It is definitely football season again! (I'm the equipment manager for me and Adam's football team!) It is so busy and actually I will be showing you archived pictures for the next two(ish) weeks because as soon as I paint my nails they chip or do not last very long! I am actually bare nailed right now! Gasp!

Play the Peonies (has been mentioned by Lindsey before) IS MY FAVORITE NUDE EVER!

I'm serious. If I had this before my wedding, this would have been my chosen polish!!!!

A light pink frost that looks GORGE on the nail. It is so pretty. Perfect application, perfect consistency, everything! Ahhh! This is my favorite nail polish ever!

Thanks everyone for being so patient and understanding as we get into this football season for me (and work for Lindsey)

Glittery Nudes

Hey bloggers!


Here is one of the Love & Beauty polishes from Forever21 that doesn't have a name. I like nudes but sometimes they bore me and since this has glitter in it, it gives it a little something extra. It was more shear that I expected, so instead of my typical two coats I had to go with three. Overall I really liked the color though!

Be on the lookout for a semi 4th of July inspired look! Any big plans besides watching fireworks, cooking out, and slipping into a food-coma?


Hope y'all have had a good week so far!

Bridal Series: Essie Topless and Barefoot

I loveeee me some nudes!

Next up: Essie Topless and Barefoot, a pinkish nude. Opaque and a nice polish in all.

I got this polish in... April I think. Loved it! LOVEEEEEEDDDD it. It's such a pretty pink nude color and it matched really well with my skin tone. But now, It's gone all thick and gloopy. What is my nail polish's deal?? I haven't stored them in a different place than I normally would. I mean, they're in a stack n store in the corner of my room, no real direct sunlight, it's cool, no real humidity, what's the deal? Maybe I should stick my favorites in the fridge for a while... I really don't want to buy thinner, but I have a feeling that's exactly what I'll have to do.

Well, along with being gloopy, my polish bubbled...again. Man! I have to get on top of things. I used two coats as one was streaky. (I'll have to see if my Sand Tropez polish is the same as topless and barefoot, since I bought them at the same time) Well, this is two coats with a coat of seche clear (yes, I know this is a base coat, I used it as a top coat - I'm desperate, okay!)

Okay, here's Topless and Barefoot!

While taking pictures, I decided that two coats of polish wasn't enough! I tried some top coats! L to R: OPI Teenage Dream, Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me Top Coat, Sally Hansen 05 Diamonds Top Coat, and CND Effects Gold Sparkling #570. 

I couldn't believe how much the CND Gold Sparkling top coat changed the color of the polish to the eye! It was crazy, it looked like it had yellow undertones vs pink! 

I'm glad we have another contender for Wedding day nails! Moving forward!

I'm going Nude-ist!

Haha, okay, not really but for the next couple of weeks I am!

I'm getting married in 18 days!! Ahhh!! No cold feet here, just plenty of nude nails! I am on the hunt for the perfect pinky nude nail polish! I don't want my nails to look gaudy since for once the attention is not on them, so I have been on the hunt.

First up is OPI Sweetheart! A very pretty light pink shade!

This is one of my FAVORITE nail polishes ever, just behind You Don't Know Jacques! It applies like a dream and needs only two coats (I put three just even everything out) to look precious on fingers or toes (I have it on my toes right now and they look so clean and cute...mind you, i'm usually a only red on my toes kind of girl).

So here, I give you: OPI Sweetheart!

I'll be here tomorrow with my next maybe wedding polish!
