My Comfort Zone - Funky French

Morning!!!!!  It's been a while since I've done a simple black tip funky french, and since it is one of my fave manis, I of course had to do one.

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze Diva Bride.










Then I used one of my fave nail art supplies, my bigRuby Nail Tattoos. I cannot tell you guys just how much I love these. They are soooo easy to use, and being so thin, they lay perfectly on the nail. I used 2 of the pink flowers from their Garden set, which BTW, is on sale right now. You can find it here.


Then using tape and Sinful's Black on Black, I did my tips :) and added a little rhinestone in the center of the flower.











On a side note, check out mine and Jack's masks for Mardi Gras!! I can't wait! Our friends are hosting the party, and it's going to be such a blast!

So pretty but dang......she smells!


 Morning. Sorry I didn't get a chance to upload the stash pics yet, but I am going to try tonight. 
Although last week while going through it, I saw this beauty, and realized I haven't used it in over a year. Now, I know I've done a post on this already a looooooong time ago, but oh well, here it is again. I purchased this on eBay on a whim, and I'm glad I did. The smell though, WHEW, can clear a room. She is lucky she is so pretty. The polish is Super #189, and i just did 1 coat over my black :)

A Valentine idea - Simple & Easy

With Valentines coming up, I wanted to start getting some ideas, so the other night I tried one of them out. I didn't want anything to over the top or insanely complicated. I absolutely loved the turn out.

Oh and last night Jack and I spent 3 hours going through my stash. re-organizing, and pulling polishes that I either didn't want/use or had enough back ups of. I took some pics, so hopefully I can get them loaded for tomorrow :) I must say, wow, I had about 400 more than I though!!! Jack even came from the hall closet carrying 2 boxes full, that I forgot about, eeekkkk!!!

Anyways, on to the mani. I started with 1 coat of Sally Hansen Rapid Red.











Then using these craft scissors I cut some tape strips out

Like so..... (if you look between my fingers, you can see my Chi, Rolo, well his face looking up at me like I'm crazy, lol. 


I then placed them on my nail, making semi half moons, taping off the red part and used Color Club Peppermint Twist. Then finished with a coat of SV.

Revlon Whimsical Goes Matte!

Thanks again to Krissy for helping me find this beauty!!!!

As you all may already know, Whimsical is quit sheer, so I chose to layer it over top of Hard Candy Sky, and I think they are the perfect couple :) I used 2 coats of each :)






















I then added a coat of Essie Matte About You, and LOVE the effect. It also got 2 thumbs up from Jack!!

Current Favorite polish with tips :)

So this post is going to be short & sweet, hope you don't mind :)

What's my favorite polish at the moment.......OPI Crown Me Already. I love the mix of big and small silver glitter, and the fact that I only need 2 coats. After a coat of SV, it's soooo sparkly!













Then, since I was wearing some cobalt blue pants, I wanted to add some matching tips, so I used Brucci Blue Sapphire

Glitter Gal Holos!!

Morning! Today I just wanted to show you some quick swatches of 3 new Glitter Gal polishes that I purchased off of Amazon. I'm a HUGE holo lover, and these are all just amazing! Each of these are 2 coats and no top coat :)

Lizard Belly 3D/Holo  - A VERY dark green holo, although I would just consider it black. I really only saw the green on my first coat.


















Green 3D/Holo - Umm......I guess sometimes I would get just the slightest hint of green, but the holo effect is AWESOME
















Light As A Feather 3D/Holo - Now this one I did do a base of Sinful Snow on Me white, I was afraid it was going to be too sheer. The holo doesn't pop as much as the others but it's still there and beautiful
