Long time no update..

I haven't updated in a while but I only have a couple of manis for you..



New Years:

China Glaze Liquid Leather + OPI Sparkle-iscious.

China Glaze Pom Pom and thumb and ring finger + Orly Sugar Plum + m59
The pearls I got on eBay, and I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White for stamping.

Annndd...
Gold + Black Leopard Ruffian

China Glaze Liquid Leather + China Glaze Gr8

I'm not too great at the 'ruffian' style mani, but I tried. I also cut my nails down to about half of their length! :D

I started back to school this week so I'll update as much as possible! My first week back to college was pretty good. Who else went back recently?

Hope you're having a good week!

looking into getting a nail drill, help?

I was looking to buy a electric nail drill and I was curious what to look for? Brands? Size?
Thanks (:

Help?

I want the acrylic nail molds that make bows similar to these:

"Bow ties" I guess, basically bows with no tails. I didn't have any luck on ebay but maybe that's just me. Thanks!

Three Free Zoya Polishes!

I JUST cashed in on my three free Zoya Nail polishes. All I had to pay was the s&h which was only $6.95! I got Mimi, Alegra, and Mimi. These are my first Zoya nail polishes so I'm pretty stoked to receive them.
Promo code: FB2011
I'm sure most of you already cashed in on this...but in case you haven't, what the heck are you waiting for?!

Christmas NOTD: peppermint nails

I'm such a terrible blogger! I guess I just haven't felt very inspired lately. I'm not to proud of these..I really wanted to to a swirly peppermint water marble but I just couldn't get what I wanted, so I just started randomly marbling. Some looks better than others so bare with me..

I did this one first..my index, middle, and ring turned out very much white + red..and the rest started looking more like those cinnamon peppermints...pink, red, and white! haha..

Sometimes I liked these...sometimes I hated them...Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm not dead.. I should have another post up sometime today. One that I actually like!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Holiday Nails: Candy Canes

Hey guys and dolls!
I'm baaaack! And I come bearing a single holiday mani. Sorry for the serious lack of updates. It's not always easy to make time for elaborate mani's during school, especially at the end of the semester - lots of Insta-dri and glitter is involved! So I'll try to get a few posted before I go back! I didn't think this would turn out as well as it did..but I'm actually really happy with it. I'm kind of in love..

What I used:
China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses as a base
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White Out for the whites of the candy canes
Isa Dora True Red (I think) for the stripes, with
China Glaze Ruby Slippers over the Isa Dora to add some sparkle to the red

I really dig this mani... hope you all do too!

xo,
