Essie Marshmallow

Hiiiii!!!!!

Confession: I HAVE BEEN LUSTING OVER THIS POLISH FOR YEARRRSSSSSSSS! Okay, maybe a year or so, but it seems like FOREVER!

ESSIE MARSHMALLOW

Santa finally put this in my stocking and I was SO EXCITED!

I know I posted about Mummy May I... OPI's Halloween white that I love! Well, where Mummy May I forges ahead in opaque whitey goodness, Marshmallow forges ahead in milky white goodness.

Oh my. I love this polish. Okay. In the picture, there are two coats on top of a ridge filling coat (my typical ORLY Ridgefiller) which is a white creamy consistency. My nails may look a little more opaque than they should, but by golly, they are beautiful!

This is a perfect way to start my new year! Clean and refreshing 2012! By the way, I cannot believe it's 2012! We're old! Haha.

I hope you are having the BEST start to the new year and are staying true to your resolutions (I'm terrible.. Adam and I never make any resolutions, to me they just seem silly since I break them so quickly) I guess if I had to have one, I just want to get off the couch more often whether it be seeing friends, going swimming, working out, whatever! Just getting out of the house every so often. Naturally, I am a Cancer, and we are homebodies! I just like being home with my husband and my doggies (they are great snugglers!). This can still happen! Just not every day all day! GO! SEE! DO!

Anyways ... Resolutions are a good thing ... I think!
Peace and love!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

YOU GUYS!

While I am terrible at keeping up on this thing, I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Okay, actually, I love the holidays. Anywhere from the beginning of football season (counts as a holiday in our books) to New Years we are happy campers! There are loads of things to do, and loads of things to buy!

Honestly, I didn't have my nails painted for almost THREE WEEKS! I do not know what is up, but I just wasn't making time for a manicure! It's hard, because first I was doing football, and during the season it is so hard to get the motivation to paint my nails because I know they'll be chipped well within 24 hours! Now, I am in a teaching practicum. Did I mention I'm in school to become a teacher? I can't remember if I told you or not! But, I am! So I spend 10-11 hours a week in a middle school and it's hard for me to determine what polishes would be school appropriate or which ones would be a little flamboyant. Does anyone else have this problem - either in the classroom or at a conservative work place? Please let me know!

For my holiday themed nails (BECAUSE I LOVE CHRISTMAS!), I painted them a white base OPI Mummy knows best, with China Glaze's Party Harty layered on top!

It makes me giddy to think that Christmas is so close!  My nails are just an expression of my feelings :)

I hope everyone is having a spectacular holiday season, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza! Enjoy this time with family and friends!

Love love love!

OPI Mummy Knows Best

Hi guys! Gosh, I know I am always apologizing about not posting, my life has been crazy! I honestly have not had my nails painted in at least a week. How awful. 

Football season is still raging on. We are now on week 6 of 10! Things have been going good. I am just so busy with my school, teaching in a middle school, and of course football. It's been crazy! 

OPI is so great. This is Mummy Knows Best. A pure white from the Halloween Mini's from this year. I  absolutely love having white nails. It's honestly my new favorite. I just love having clean looking nails! It makes me think of a blank slate, or a clean start. It's just so nice!

By the way, this was totally taken at practice. Can you see one of the boys running in the background. hahaha so funny.

Application was perfect, no chalkiness or goopiness. Mummy Knows Best is a dream and it's definitely my #1 white nail polish. The only little thing is, the edges (sides of my nails) never come out smooth and with white you can really tell - yikes!

I hope everyone is enjoying the change of weather and the cooler temperatures. I know I am! We're going to pick out some pumpkins this weekend!

I will do better at this, I promise.

Bridal Series: China Glaze White Cap

Hey everyone! Here's another polish to add to the competition for wedding day! I bought White Cap a while ago, I thought it was such a pretty shimmery white polish, perfect for spring and summer. Such a fresh polish!

White Cap applied really well, no problems there, I used three coats just to get an even coating and a stark color, two would have done the trick, it was just a little sheer for me. I was so happy to see that on the nail, it wasn't just white shimmer. It had gold reflux, which would look fantastic with my ivory wedding dress. SO GORGEOUS!

I love this color on the nails! It was soo pretty! Taking it off was awful though, ugggghhh pulling apart my cotton pad. I really want to try felt to help with my glitter polish removal, maybe when I get around to buying Seche Vite, haha.

Okay, here it is!

Happy Hump Day!
