Me again!!!

 Hey guys it's Jack again!!!  Erika is here but not totally with it.  She has had a tad too much to drink.  So I am helping her with her post again.  She wanted to show her new polish, that she calls a multicrome.  It is Cover Girl Purplexed.  She did one coat over one coat of Wet n' Wild Black.  Sorry I don't know the official name of it.  Now Erika's friend Caitie is helping me write this post but she too has had too much to drink, and is loving her nails done by Erika. 

 Happy Easter!!!!

Possibly an Easter Mani

I cannot even believe Easter is on Sunday! It came so quick. I hadn't even really though about what mani I would do, so I was looking through my stash and saw my Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, and I still had the Sally Hansen Blue-Away on my side table, so I used them together. This would make a great Easter mani, but I'm still not sure....
I started with 2 coats of Blue-Away, and added 1 coat of Hidden Treasure. (I didn't have either bottles with me, when it was picture time)

Striped Mani

Morning!!! As this gets posted, my butt is on it's way to a breakfast smorgasborg restaurant, Shady Maple, with my husband, his parents and sister, and some of our neighbors, and OMG, I cannot wait! Their food is so amazing, they have such a great shop under the place, and I get  to stuff my face for 1 low price! Nope, nothing beats that! After breakfy, we are all heading to this LARGE outdoor flea market! It's like my dream day, lol. Okay, now onto my mani.... I decided to whip out my tape, and have some fun, since my outfit for the day was kind of blah, and thought a fun mani would spruce it up.
I started with Wet n' Wild Black

Then taped off my nails like this, one at a time

I then applied China Glaze Recycle, only doing one nail at a time


Again, when I finished them all, and added a coat of SV, I taped them off  2nd time

and used China Glaze DV8 for the tips :)

ANNOUNCEMENT!! NEW Bundle Monster Plates...

So real quick, I just wanted to let you all know that the NEW BIGGER Bundle Monster plates are now available. Get them quick if you're interested!! You can buy them here.

Not what I expected, but MUCH better

Morning! Once again, I ordered some Nubar polishes off of eBay. You know, if eBay didn't exist, I'm pretty sure my bank account would have many more zeros.  Anyways, this one is Star Sparkle. It's loaded with holo glitter, and just looks amazing on the nail. Since I had some spare time at night, I decided to stamp over it too.

Here is 3 coats of Star Sparkle





Then using the Mash plate M60 and Wet n' Wild Black polish, I did this design. I freaking love that it actually looks like I have fabric over top the design!





Oh and, you know how I love my flakie polishes, can you believe I found a flakie lip gloss at Wal-mart, by Hard Candy! I'm also a semi lip gloss hoarder, lol. But this has FLAKES, and ones you can see when you apply it. It's so cool, and a great effect that I just had to share. This one is called Tipsy :)

Here is a swatch on my hand. It's such a light sheer pink, but the flakes, EEEKKK, I love! It doesn't even have a rough texture at all!

Yay, It's Pink wednesday!!

I really love having a day of the week pre-planned color wise! For today's mani, I wanted to try some more layering. So I first started with Nicole by OPI  You're An Angel.  The shimmer in this is so amazing, and NOT hidden at all. I did 3 coats.





I then added Pure Ice Rio


and using my Mash plate M64 & Pure Ice Silver Mercedes, I did this design :)

Heart Breaker......a name that says it all

I love trying different layering combos, and Pure Ice polish, is great for this. I get mine from Wal-mart for $2 a bottle. They have some great colors, and although most are pretty sheer, they work great for layering. I had heard about Pure Ice Heart Breaker on MUA, but my Wal-mart never had it in stock. Well, Jack and I had to go there on Sunday to get some odds and ends, and I was so giddy to see they had completely re-stocked and cleaned up the Pure Ice display, and there was Heart Breaker. Whoo hoo! As soon as I got home, I had to do a mani with it, and decided to use a new China Glaze I purchased off of eBay recently called Calypso Blue. Which I might add, is beyond one of the most beautiful blues I own!

Here is 2 coats of Calypso Blue on it's own



Then I added 1 coat of Heart Breaker. It is just so pretty, and I can't wait to try it over a purple!
