Date Night Sparkles

Hey Lovelies!

So the other day, my Hubby and I went on a date and I figured "Why not try something new with my nails?". So...I did and I ended up using 8 polishes total. 0.o

I've never really done the whole "most-fingers-one-way-and-one-accent-nail" thing and I was really curious to try it. So I looked at my dress that I was gonna be wearing and figured something off that. It's a real cute burgundy color that's A-line and ends above the knee. It has kind of a rectangle/triangle-ish design in it so I looked for something similar in my nail plate. (Yes, this involved nail plates.Yay!)

So I started out with a new base coat, Pure Ice - Bottom Line Base Coat, and did a base color of E.L.F.'s Metal Madness which is a charcoal black with holographic sparkles in it. I really only had to use one layer of this because it covers so nicely so that was wonderful.

Now for the nail plate. I stamped Bundle Monster 210 in Sinful Colors - Snow Me White on every finger BUT my ring fingers.

The top middle is the lucky design today...

Once that was stamped and dried, I used Revlon's 730 Valentine, Pure Ice Jamaica Me Crazy and Pure Ice Watermelon Ice(Which there will be more on this color soon...) in a gradient over the stamp. This obviously didn't effect the base color with it being so dark.

On the ring fingers, I used an un-named Melissa polish that has pink and silver flecks in it. It's old..So I had to wait forever on it to dry as well as re-do one because I smudged it.. This is a brand that's no longer in production unfortunately. :/ 

Finished up with a coat of Seche Vite Top Coat as always and there you have it! Loved them and they're now in my favorites list! 

Ta ta for now!

I'm ALIVE and swatching a Melissa polish!

Good Afternoon!!

It’s been FOREVER since I last posted and I do apologize. I’ve been slacking because I started college(whooo-hooo!!) I only felt like I could really post something today cuz I have time right now. Moreso, I feel like I can cuz I had such a productive day yesterday. Organized all my clothes, put summer cloths away, brought winter clothes out, changed/cleaned out my purse, and finished all the details of my latest school paper.  Just saying…but organizing may be one of my favorite things to do. :P See?

The only thing I haven't done yet it color code....

Yes, I am THAT obsessive in the way I do things. But I can see everything, it’s nice and neat and I won’t have to worry bout where they’re supposed to go, cuz they will have a place now. :D

Yes, my drawer is missing a knob. It's irritating.

And Yes. I do keep candy in my drawers. Where else am I going to keep it?  :9

NUTELLA!!

Anywhoo…

This mani today is a swatch and I can’t for the life of me find out where the brand comes from. It’s an unnamed polish by Melissa. This polish was one that I got from a friend that was wanting to get rid of all her polish( for some insane reason…:P) and this was one that I took. Practically brand new and it wears great!

I think that this may be my new fav polish for several reasons.

#1. It’s kinda glittery without the pain of trying to take it off.

#2. It’ a darker shade, which I like.

#3. It goes on *so* nicely.

                                                                                      

Again, I do apologize for the lack of post as of late, but I probably won’t be doing a post every week since I don’t have as much time on my hands. ^^ Hehe! Time on my hands…lol But, my goal is to be more consistent in getting my school done so that I’m not posting once every two or three months.

So that’s the plan.  :)
