Busted and Cheatin!

While at Wal*Mart one night getting rabbit food for Chloe, (forgot to get it when I was at PetCo. getting her other stuff), I decided to check out there polishes and lip glosses. They usually never have anything that interest me. And I usually buy my stuff at Walgreen's anyways. But something compelled me to just wander threw and see what they had. I ended up with these two cute polishes. And the price was not bad ether. The names on the other hand.................... lol

I think for their price I will be buying more. I will be doing swatches of them soon as well. I'm also working on a way to inventory my polish so I can keep track of what colors I have in what brands. I have seen a few different ways throughout the internet, but am still not 100% sure of which way I want to do it. At the moment I am thinking index cards with swatches on them or just a spread sheet with the brand name at the top and list of their names. 

Well, I hope tomorrow I will have some swatches for you of another one of the Finger Paints polishes. I'm really loving how they look on. And I'm waiting on finding a certain tool to attempt to do some designs. Hope you all have a great day!

Art You Wondering?

Ok, so the original plan was for me to show how to take off glitter polish using the foil method, but I somehow have no foil in my house, lol. I was also going to do this pretty new purple from Sinful Colors, but my 5 year old son insisted I do one of my new Finger Paints. And this is the one he chose.........

Color - Finger Paints in Art You Wondering?

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Please excuse the messy polish around my nails. Still trying to get better about that. Much better then what I use to do though. Have a great day!

My Nail Stuff

So being that I don't like to redo my nails on a daily basics, I have decided to see if this mani would last another day or so before I decided to take it off. Not to mention it is raining today (hopeful it will have stop by the time this post). So I have decided to post of picture of my nail polish collection instead. I have a Craft/Nail Room where I keep things like this. All of it is stored in a tall tower. I don't have the entire thing filled, but close enough, lol. And I only took picture of my mani nail stuff, not my acrylic stuff. Although there are a few things in the pictures. Here they are....


So this is what is in my top box. This is my prep box I guess you could call it. My files, cuticle remover, buffing blocks, toe separators, cuticle nippers, cuticle pushers, lotion, nail clippers, a Ped Egg and some random files. 


In this box I have all my decals (many you can't see because they are under others) and my Salon Express (Konad knockoff). There is also a box of Sally Hansen Salon Effects that I haven't used yet. 


In this box I have my art pens, striping polishes, nail gems, glitter, stones and nail art brushes. 


In this box I have my nail polish removers, acrylic liquid, base coats, top coats, cuticle oils and all of my other miscellaneous polishes. 


And last but not least, my favorite box of them all. My Sinful Colors polishes box. If I remember correctly I should have about 93 of them and plan on adding more. Not many compared to some people collections. But I love it!

Well, that is it. I will try to post interesting things in between me actually posting pictures of my nails painted. Hope you enjoyed it and have a great day!!

I Miss You

Ok, so before I take off my last mani I decided to put a glitter coat over it. It actually turned out really pretty. I only did one coat though. Normally I always do two coats of any nail color I put on. But I liked this with just one.

Color - 2 coats of Sinful Color in Fig and 1 coat of Sinful Color in I Miss You

Top Coat - Seche Vite

Wonderful day

Ok, so I found out a better way (and time) to upload new things so if you check this out in the mornings you have something new and fresh to look at. Not to mention if you are wanting something to do for your nails that day you will have something to go off of. So that is why I hadn't posted anything for today. I think I might do a little extra with what I had done yesterday and post it for tomorrow. But we will see. It was my day off today and so I have many things I have to do and things to get done. We almost got to go out onto the boat today with the little one. But something came up and plans were canceled. Anyways, rest assure that something will be posted tomorrow. If you have any request I will try my best to make them happen. But most of my nail polishes at the moment are Sinful Colors. I do have others, I just have more of that brand then any other.

But to make up for no nail picture today I will leave you with a picture that I took on a walk with a friend today down by the river. We saw some geese with there babies. Have a great day!

Fig Newton Anyone?

So I had this color picked out for a few days and just now got too it. Here goes.....









So there you have it. Still not as good as some people do. But like I said, I have just been slapping on the polish and now I am going to take the time to get better at this. Eventually I will do designs. I have done them in the past on my own nails and they usually turn out pretty good. I will list all the things that I used for this mani, have a great day!
