Stars At The Tips Of My Fingers

Hello Hello!


  Literally,wanted to do something glitzy and also realized I had never used this stamp before.What better time than right? So my base color Sissy got for me because she had got it and we both fell in love with it.Hope you like!


  So for the base I used one (yes just one!) coat of Milani's Gold Glitz,it's part of their One Coat Glitter line but how often are polishes ever really one coat? To say I was a skeptic at first is an understatement but this polish really wowed me.For my stamping I used my BM20 image plate and of course Wet N Wild's Black Creme.Warning,this is a topcoat eater! Which I didn't mind-just added two coats of SV so that it was smooth instead of one.Don't you love it though?! There's also some copper glitter in there which is what put it over the top for me.Hope you all enjoyed this mani as much as I did!

Cute as a Button!

Hi all!

I know its late! I am so sorry, but life has been busy busy busy!!! especially with holidays right around the corner. As my sissy mentioned earlier we went on hiatus, we were planning on posting together... but we were constantly out, she stands strong with me and my shopping habit haha. Back to my post :)

What I Used: Love & Beauty- Goat, Wet n' wild's- Black Creme, Bourgese- BOOO Maraschino,Sally Hansen's White on and Insta Dri-Blue


I picked up Goat at Forever21... on one of the many shopping trips i took with my sister. I fell in love with this color instantly, I think mostly because its a color my sissy would wear :) After 2 coats of Goat (LOVE the name! haha)


I brought out my image plate with the buttons on it and stamped Black Creme, and then Blue and then White on... But i felt it was a little plain. SO I threw in BOOO Maraschino. I absolutely love this design. Perfect pedi for fall! and just in time for my to wear strap-open-toed shoes to the office tomorrow! haha Well Good night everyone, I promise I will get better at posting earlier!!! Shawny, I hope you have forgiven us haha <3 you all

All That Glitters

Hello Hello!

    Sorry for our hiatus,not very often that we get to have a few days together so when we do we stay up late and hang out.We are back though! After what I feel was too short of a holiday weekend.I used one of my zoya's today and just added a little.


  As you can tell my nails decided to do me dirty and break but the show must go on.I used Zoya's Jem and on my accent finger I used Milani's Gold.Waned to have a bunch of sparkle and with Jem and Gold I think I accomplished that.Hope you all liked it!

Gobble-Gobble!!!

Hi all!

SO after I came out of a food coma from all the turkey,ham,stuffing,green beans, mashed potatoes, read & what 8 pies my sissy made :) I decided I now have enough energy to post this up! yeyyyyy.Before I say anything I would just like to add that if you were not at our residence sharing the feast with us...I feel really  bad, because we deep fried the turkey and it was AWESOME!But onto my post. I had to do something festive, Thanksgiving really isnt celebrated like others, maybe because its squished inbetween Halloween and Christmas...who knows?

What I used: Zoya-Pippa, Zoya- Jinx, Jesse's Girl-Fools Gold, Sally Hansen's- White on, Wet N' Wilds-Black Creme, Zoya- Gabrielle, Zoya Midori,Love & Beauty- Taupe/Champagne, Sally Hansens-Red, Insta Dri- Brisk Blue. A stamping Plate and dotting utensils.


I started off by doing 2 coats of Pippa, brought out my stamping plates and got to work haha. All I really used was 1 plate that had 6 flowery/vine designs that I thought were festive enough :) I used the Jinx to do the stamping with. I thought the designs were still a little plain, so I added some dots, you cant go wrong with them! I then delve into the turkey (literally) and just started making a little replica of what I thought looked tasty hahaha!

I hope you guys liked it! If you have any questions about anything just ask :) I will be more then happy to answer. And for those of you going out on black friday be safe! Hope everyone enjoyed their dinner and/or just the company of loved ones!

EXTRA EXTRA!!

Hello Hello!


  Well if you couldn't tell by the title I decided to do a newspaper mani! I'm going to jump right into it seeing as my time is non-existent today!



  So easy! I used Zoya's Dove as my base.For the news paper all you have to do is dip you nail into alcohol for about five seconds then hold a piece of news paper on your nail firmly for about fifteen seconds.Add your topcoat and you are done! Now back to my pie making and anticipating on my sissy's arrival!!! Woot Woot! hope you all enjoyed :)

Toe-Tally Tuesday!

Oh Hi!

So I bought my first molds this week, not the disgusting ones that grow on dirty things, but the pretty ones with designs like butterflies, candy and flowers in it :) haha anyways, I was sooo excited to finally get to use them! I got them for a great deal too! so expect some 3D snowflakes for the christmas season!

What I Used: Zoya- Midori, rose molds & random colors I wanted my flowers to be haha



I did 2 layers of Midori, and then got to work on the roses, I had to fill the molds with UV Gel or Acrylic... I tried UV at first thinking it would be easier, but I didnt like it very much. It was a lot harder to work with because it has a sticky consistency/texture. So I used just clear Acrylic (I dont have any white..yet!) which made it easier for me to put it in the mold. So that was a huge plus++. SO once all that jazz was done I grabbed random nail polishes for flower colors and made a light coat of nail polish(too thick you wont be able to see the design.... I learned this the hard way) and then wait for it to dry and apply! I went a little crazy with them because I wanted to use them and see how they would turn out... and how durable they are (very). I would either use color acrylic next time for the molds or at least a white acrylic, the clear made the nail polish look transperent and you really cant do that many coats.

I like the way the right foot came out more, but i do <3 the pink flower on my left pig toe :) What do you guys think?

Oh Dree

Hello Hello!


  Today I got yet another simple mani.I know I do a lot of these but I sometimes these are the ones I have time for.I kept it feeling fall-ish with the color and stamping.




  I used Zoys's Dree which reminds me of an olive.Enjoying this color soo much.For my accent finger I used Kleancolor's Mocha.I stamped with the Dree again to tie it in a little more,Kleancolor's Jewelry Red and Nicole's The Next CEO using my BM05 image plate.It didn't take me any time at all.Really enjoying this one as simple as it is.Hope you all did too!
