Got a tad bit bored O_o

A couple of nights ago, I had decided that I wanted a simple delicate mani with a little sparkle. Well, that's how it began, and then I became bored so my simple mani turned into the complete opposite!

I started with 2 coats of Savina Purple Hologram polish. I love this one, it's semi sheer, with just the right amount of speckled glitter, but could I just stop there, nope. Although it's called purple, it def pulls more pink on me, which is okay by me.






I then decided some polka dots were needed. So I used China Glaze Millenium and my Bundle Monster plate, BM19. Excuse the shiny cuticles, I had just oiled up, and maybe a tad too much.




Oh but of course, it needed tips!! So I used OPI Alpine Snow Matte and tape :) Jack loved this mani!




Now, as promised, here is a pick of my almost reorganized stash. Jack counted last night, there are 799 in the case, on top, and in front on the floor, which still need to be fit in somewhere. Oh, and even after this pic, the amount on the floor has increased, eeeek. Now I have about 400-450 sitting in a box, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with those yet. At least my faves are displayed and easy to get to now. 


and a bonus pic of Jack when we were first getting started on this 3 hour project. He really is the best for helping, and being so involved in my hobby :)

  3. Not at all simple, but definitely beautiful. Great job! (oh and thumbs up on having a hubby with awesome facial hair AND who is willing to help with your polish. I only wound up with the facial hair 50% of that)

    I like the "over the top" mani - the dots are cool and white tips bring everything together!

  20. Hi there! I started reading your blog just a few months ago and kept it bookmarked in spite of your hiatus :) Loving the daily updates!

    Couple questions. How do you keep your natural nails so healthy and even? I have been coating mine in acrylic since 2006 because mine were always prone to breakage :( Do you do your nails every day? How much time do you let the coats of polish dry as you layer patterns and tips on?

    Your collection is IMPRESSIVE. And I love pretty much every manicure you've posted :)

    1. Hello!! Thank you so much :)I do take Biotin daily, and I really think that helps. I moisturize my nails and cuticles a few times a day as well. Yeah, I do my nails every day, and sometimes more, lol. After I apply SV I will wait about 10 min to do tips or stamping.

  21. I really love this manicure! It's very cute. You have such a great stash and it's so awesome that your husband is so supportive of your hobby and helps you out!

  22. I love it! I'm always so envious how you get the polka dot stamp to work perfectly for you! I always get little tiny spots of missing image on mine when I try it lol! And we all know Jack has good taste since he married you!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow such a big collection!! but i wonder if they don't go bad, you know hard or sticky inside the bottles. What do you do to prevent it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's the great thing about polish, it NEVER goes bad. Sure it can get thick and goopy, but just add some nail polish thinner and it's good as new :)

      Delete
  24. I love the delicate sparkle together with the silver dots - Another mani I would never think of and now can't wait to try! and the matte white tips just make it perfect and another idea I really want to try!- thanks for the inspiration :D and I thinks it's great that your partner is so supportive :D and I'm glad your back! Your blog really brightens my day (and my nails lol :D)

  28. 1) I am jealous of your naturally awesome nails 2) I'm jealous of your polish collection!! How do you not have 2 of the same color? Or how do you not accidentally buy one that you already have?

    1. Haha, it's weird how I know them all. Jack will even randomly pick a bottle up every so often and ask its name. He's always shocked when I know it :)

  30. I am so jealous of your collection. My hubby almost had a panick attack when I showed him. I saw "what has my wife gotten attached to" flash across his face. :)

  31. Do you have any tips for stamping with the first set of bundle monster plates? I have them and I have such a hard time getting good transfers?

  32. I enjoy looking at your swatches =) You have such gorgeous nails! Also I've tried your scotch tape method & it does a better job than those nail tip guidelines. Wow you have an amazing collection of polishes! I only have a bit over 200 bottles & my b/f thinks I'm insane! lol at least your hubby is supportive of your obsession =D

  33. This is such a pretty mani! I love it. I am like you, I like to see my pretty bottles displayed on a book case. I never understand why people throw them in a drawer!

    ...and I thought my stash of 50 was a lot! ha ha
    Ever since I came across your site [on Pinterest] I've kept nail polish on my nails 24/7 and they have become healthier than ever. My manicurist even had to file them back! (never in my life)

    Perhaps I'm now obsessed w/ polish? he he. :)

  40. I love pretty much all of your mani pics! I'm curious as to where you got your nail polish shelf/bookcase?
