House Purse Mania

Time to show off my new "house purse", created and sold by my good friend Suzi.  She made these awesome little purses to carry around the house, to hold your essentials!  My friends and I love this concept! I use my house purse to transport my phone and dozens of polish bottles upstairs/downstairs.

My house purse came "fully loaded" for a nail art lover. Polish, stripers, files, buffers, and my cuticle butter! Check it out!

So of course I did a manicure to match the awesome hot pink/blue bananda house purse I received.

Stamping, glitter and gels! Very pleased with this mix and match manicure.

The pink is Na-no Way-Fuse Gelnamel. The teal and glitter are China Glaze-Custom Kicks and Jordana-Celestia, respectively. The white is Spoiled-Snow Me White.

Thanks for reading! If anyone is interested in owning a house purse, let me know/comment and I can pass you along to Suzi for more info!

Last Minute Fourth of July Manicure

Better late than never!

I very nearly ran out of time on these! I already knew I wanted a simple design, because the colors are a bit loud. So this post is all about gorgeous, saturated colors.

Happy Birthday America!

   I chose one picture with the flash and one without, so you can get the full effect of these awesome colors/glitters.The red is Sally Hansen Gel Polish in Red My Lips, gel is the only polish that lasts at my job!

   Next is Essie Aruba Blue under OPI Get Your Number, a gorgeous liquid sand. I used gel topcoat on the accent nails as well to help them last. Finally, the white is Sinful Colors Snow Me White topped with Essie Set in Stones (so sparkly).

   The bottle in the photo is this awesome patriotic glitter topper I found at Walmart,  but was too chicken to use! Maybe next year, sigh! Its awesome, unique, and only $2 so I wanted to share! Save Me a Spot by Salon Perfect.

   Stay tuned for a post including my friend's handmade 'house purse' and matching manicure!

Hello world!

This is my first ever blog post! I've been posting nail pics for a few years but never organized a formal blog!

So welcome lovelies, thanks for visiting!

My first post includes the gorgeous and inexpensive I Need a Refresh-mint by wet n wild. I painted all my nails with 2 coats of INRM, the formula is very highly pigmented, but slightly streaky so be gentle.

After they dried (like 2-3 hrs!) I put striping tape down 3-5 per nail. Painted over with Secret Admirer, a sparkly/shimmery dark grey. Quickly lifted the tape while the polish was still wet.

Let dry briefly then sealed with 2 thin coats of Out the Door top coat.

Love it! Got a few compliments! <3
