Day 4- Green! & some thank yous!

hey everyone! how's your week going so far? i want to address something really quick. this is a personal blog where i share pictures and opinions on nail polish. i know that so many bloggers post almost every single day, but that is something i can't do. i know it's possible for some by making scheduled posts, but when i have the time to write it's just enough to write once. i try to post regularly but i just can't do it everyday. i am online everyday and i always TRY to comment on other blogs and respond to comments or questions i get. so please don't think i will never blog again if i skip a few days. :D
anyways, my giveaway ends this friday, so there is still time to enter! oh and i have 50 followers! whooo hoooo!!! thanks to everyone who follows my blog, and a big thanks to those of you who take the time to read all i have to say! Also i want to give shout outs to a few sweethearts who always have something nice to say on here. Please check out their blogs! (in no particular order)Sandra from MY WORLD, the awesomely talented NAIL NERD, the sweetest girl from I'M FEELING NAIL-VENTUROUS, Jacki from ADVENTURES IN ACETONE, Sarah from POLISH AND GLOSS, and  Olivia C. from LIVY LU LU. i think sometimes people forget how easy it is to say thank you, but i won't! thanks to everyone!

So, let's see some mean, green nails!
the bright green is a franken i made, one coat! and the other green is Orly- It's not rocket science. 3 thin coats.
look at my pillow case! it's from the movie How to train your dragon. it totally matches my nails,lol. i love it!

my camera has been adding a weird shadow to some of my pictures, but here you can see the color of INRS better. I also posted about this color here, you can see the color better. :}



lastly, here is a picture of my hunnies finger! he was trying to mess with my photo taking. 

i just want to publicly say something to my hunnie, after all this is My blog ;}
i love you, and no matter what obstacles come our way i know we will make it through. you can always count on me for support, understanding,love, and most importantly friendship. you are my best friend and always will be! Muah muah muah! <33

do you ever have a "thank you" moment? what's one of your favorite green polishes?

thanks for stopping by!!!

Day 3- Yellow!

hey everyone, just a quick reminder that my giveaway ends this friday. eeeeeeee! i'm so excited, are you? i hope so! good luck to everyone, and to those who don't win this time, fear not! i see many more planned in the (near) future :} i just love sharing my love of polish (along with some polish) to those who are sweet enough to read this blog! so today i have China Glaze- Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. This is a super bright yellow neon.
i think it just might be my favorite neon. my mom says it looked like those neon reflector vests. i'm pretty sure that's not what they're called. lol
neons are pretty hard to capture so imagine this 100x brighter!this was 2 coats over white.
it dried to a satiny/matte finish. yet it was still so shiny!

anyways, i just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to NAIL DESIGNS!
i won her awesome giveaway and this baby was one of the prizes! i have so many more China Glaze polishes that i won ready to be swatched. 
CHECK OUT HER BLOG!!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME! & check out her perfect nails, so jealous!
p.s. could i have said neon anymore in this post? jeez
what's one of your favorite neons? have you won any giveaways?

thanks for stopping by!!!

Day 2- Orange. then bad news, then good news.

Hey everyone, today i have for you Wet n Wild- Sunny Side Up, it's an orange creme. it reminds me of an orange and cream soda my hunnie likes to drink. Although i never wear orange, this one was actually really nice. it's not a neon but it's bright in its own way, yet still very subtle. 
this was a pain in the butt to apply, i think it might be just this color or maybe i got a bad one because wet n wild is almost always a pleasure to apply.
so pretty!


anyyywho, i have been really wanting China Glaze- Ick-a-bod-y. i had no desire for it when it first came out, but for the past maybe 2 months i have been trying to find it. i know, i know, i can order it online or buy it from someones blog sale but i am unable to do that because i don't have any kind of card right now. if i really NEED something than my hunnie gets it for me and pretends to let me pay him for it. i'm not talking about polish tho, i haven't ordered any online in a while.
Soooo, i've been trying to hunt it down in any sally's/ulta/salon to no avail.
it's a sad, sad time for me :{ those are the bad news. i have yet to find it.

the good news is that i decided to try and franken it. fail. i don't have any of the big bronzey orange glitter that Ick has. i came pretty close to it, and i can say that i'm happy with this new color. i still really want Ick but until it magically appears in a store, i will not own it. 
it still has a murky green base with glitter, so i'm happy.

do you have a not very hard to find that you just can't seem to find?

thanks for stopping by!!!!

Day 1- Red (Pic. Heavy)

hey everyone. I'm sorry i wasn't around for a few days. it was my hunnies birthday on the 18th and i had no time to blog before or after. my giveaway ends in just 6 days! holy cow! i can't wait to do another one!!! so today i have for you Day # 1 of the nail challenge, and i choose to wear one of my ALL TIME favorite red. i'm not really a red/pink girl, although i'm told they compliment my skin tone nicely, but this red is stunning! it's *Color Club- Ruby Slippers. in the picture is the mini bottle. at first i thought it was a regular red glitter, with a pink toned jelly. so i only got the mini size, no big deal, i have lots of red glitters. when i wore this, i wished i would've gotten at least 2 full size bottles!!! It's amazing! let's see some pictures!

here it is in all its red glory.this was 2 coats. had i done a thicker coat it would've just been 1!
this was in the sunlight.
you really have to click on it to see the small red glitter/shimmer. i think there might be a little bit of silver shimmer in as well, at least it seemed like it in certain angles.
this was indoors, with flash.
the only down part is that since it's such a rich glitter, it was a major top coat eater!
you need either a really thick topcoat (maybe 2 coats) or do what i did. apply a matte top coat and than a coat of your regular. always takes out the grittiness.

here it is matte, still gorgeous!

 i think this was a bit true to color in real life.
dark and seductive, but with enough shimmer/glitter that makes it playful and young.
you can also see small amounts of orange peeking through!


anywaysss, i just adore this color. what's one of your favorite reds?
