Butter London Wallis

Hello friends!  So sorry for the lack of posts lately, my boyfriend and I are remodeling a house and that takes  A LOT of time! We are so close to being done and all moved in though so I am very excited! Here is a quick post on one of the most interesting colors in my collection.. Wallis from Butter London

Wallis is a gorgeous green with gold foil. It has a beautiful deep olive tone. I am really feeling this one. :)

My kitty Tasha wanted to help me blog...this polish kind of reminds me of her eyes. I love my Russian Blue!

I absolutely love it! I was trying to figure out what design I should do on this manicure but I couldn't because the color is just too pretty!

Up close!

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Butter London

Hey loves! Check out my mini haul from Butter London! I had never tried these before but I am glad I did because these polishes are so unique and beautiful.

Butter London is kind of pricey so I only purchased three. I tried to choose three completely different polishes but there were so many I wanted! It was tough to choose.

'All Hail The Queen'  holographic sandy beige 

'Wallis' burnt olive with greenish gold foil. I can't wait to put this on my nails!

'The Black Knight' black base with multi-color glitter! It's amazeballs!

ooooh look at the glitter! I see magenta, gold, blue and green..swoon!

What colors from this brand do you like? Let me know your must haves! Thank you for reading!

China Glaze Aqualdelic

Ummmmmm!! OMG!! I don't really know if this polish could be anymore perfect for me! Let's just get down to business Ladies...

This is two Coats of China Glazes 'Aquadelic' from the ElectroPop Collection. This is like, For Audreys spunky little sister that just wants to go to the beach and listen to live music. hahahaha! Yeah...that description just happened. 

This polish is a gorgeous turquoise creme that is just oh so perfect. I bet this would shine on almost any skin tone...it is for sure to be universally beautiful on anyone.

I am sure this is going to be one of my most used polishes and I might have to purchase a few more just to have back ups...yeah I am a weirdo! 

I hope you guys love this one as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by! Until next time!

Essie Navigate Her

Navigate Her?!  I hardly know her! hahahaha but seriously folks...check out this pretty, perfect for spring polish from Essie.

Essie 'Navigate Her'

Two coats with wonderful application. I really must get more Essie polishes, I love the formula and they have the most beautiful light cremes.

Such a gorgeous pistacio green, I don't have anything quite like this one. :)

What do you guys think of this one? I hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for reading.

Happy Sunday!

Ghoulish Manicure!

Hello friends! I was in Ulta the other day and spotted some Halloween Nail Polishes! The ones that really caught my eye were China Glaze It's Alive and Ghoulish Glow also by China Glaze. GLOW IN THE DARK NAIL POLISH!! I can't wait to play with that one! Anyway, Check out this Ghoulish Mani that I created. I hope you enjoy!

For the Base I uses one coat of Orly Matte Vinyl and then I used two coats of It's Alive by China Glaze beautiful olive green glitter . Lately I have really enjoyed putting glitter polish over black.

China Glaze 'It's Alive'

Orly Matte Vinyl on the accent nail and Finger Paints Papier Mache for the white of the Ghost. The ghost of from Bundle Monster plate BM-223

Short nails again! I love them. I will not let them get super super long again. That was a phase and when one would break I would have a mini panic attack so yeah, shorter nails are the way to go for now. I hope you guys don't mind all of the Halloween Manicures. I know it's more than a month away but I like to get into the spirit early!

Thank you so much for reading! Have a great day!

Mermaid's Tears...Happy tears of course!

Hello friends! Sorry for my lack of posts recently but I have been one super busy Momma! Anyways, Check out this pretty creme from O.P.I .

Mermaid's Tears is a gorgeous Sea foam green, it kind of reminds me of For Audrey from China Glaze but it has more green than turquoise 

This is two coats and it  applied beautifully. I can't wait to try this one with a cool design..I am thinking white polka dots would be super cute! What do you guys think?

Up Close!

Thank you for reading! I hope you guys are having a good week!

Going Green...Nail Fail.

Gussied Up Green that is. This green beauty is amazing..it's got  flecks of gold shimmer through out, it's gorgeous in the sunlight and has become one of my favorite greens. I didn't even know I had this but I was dusting and shaking polishes the other day and stumbled upon this one in my collection. I love when that happens! ;)

It's so pretty. I really like this dark green with my short nails.

China Glaze Gussied Up Green...Two Coats

And then I ruined it..this was a nail fail for sure. Some polishes are meant to be left alone and I think this one is one of them. I added  Worth The Risque by Color Club which is one of the best holo's out there, unfortunately it doesn't mix too well with the green. Meh.

Bundle Monster Plate BM-208 for the design.

Thanks for reading!

Deftones Tonight!! Fun Concert Nails!

Hello Cupcakes! I am so stoked that tonight I get to see one of my favorite bands! I have been a Deftones fan since high school so when ever they come to Phoenix I make sure to go see them. This is actually going to be my FOURTH time seeing this amazing band! I need to start getting ready in a bit so this post might be a mess. :)

What I Used

China Glaze: Shower Together, Electric Pineapple

Orly: Matte Vinyl

Bundle Monster plate BM-223

 These two colors go so good together I debated just leaving it as is...but you know me..haha!

no flash

 I like this zebra print MUCH better than the one from Konad plate M57. It is more detailed and fits my nail perfectly.

                                      

Up close!  Zebra Print Nails are SOO fun! Gah!

What do you think loves?  I hope you enjoy this manicure, the animal print ones are some of my favorites to do. Thank you for checking it out! I hope you guys have a great rest of your week!

St. Patrick's Day Manicure

No, I'm not Irish but I like to get in the spirit! Here is a fun one. I love just doing an accent nail for special occasions. Also If I want to recycle the manicure I just remove the polish on the accent nail and do something else. It saves so much time. :)

China Glaze Hologram//China Glaze Starboard on my Ring Finger with Orly Pointe Blanche for the Clovers..Bundle Monster Plate BM 03

This year St. Patricks Day is on a Thursday and that's my day off. Woo Hoo! I would like to go out but honestly I probably won't. What are your plans for St. Partricks Day? Any special Manicure planned? I'd Love to see! Whatever you decide to do please be safe and have a BLAST!

Thank you for reading and following! 

Love, Peace,  and Green EVERYTHING!

In the Spirit of St. Patricks Day

Check out this beauty China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. I'm feeling luckier already! 

China Glaze//Four Leaf Clover

I had no idea I had this polish, I found it while looking for something else. WIN!! I love finding polishes that I didn't know I had. (I suppose now I can remove it from my Head2toebeauty.com shopping cart ha ha) This color is so very pretty..light green creme. *Swoon*

I love this color with my skin tone. This is two coats, and it applied like a dream! China Glaze  makes my favorite creme polishes, I am in love with their formula.

Added some polka dots with Bundle Monster plate BM19. I used China Glaze Adore for the pattern.

Oh nail stamping..How I have missed you. ha ha. It has been a while since I stamped..I used to do it almost everyday..I am going to pick it up again...I still have plates in the packaging. UNACCEPTABLE!  I will do more Konad Designs and show all of you pretty ladies! Also..I am considering cutting my nails down, not filing..CUTTING. I am kind of nervous but I have been seeing lots of shorter nails and been jealous of the short chic look. What do you guys think? Should I keep em long or cut em down? I know they will grow back but I am still nervous! EEEEEP!
Thanks for reading!

Ahoy Mateys!

Hey Pretty People! I recently got some new babies and included was the China Glaze Anchors Away Collection. I couldn't wait to try First Mate. I am sure by now you guys know that I love my cremes ha ha, First Mate is a pretty nautical Blue Creme. I swooned...not gonna lie.

China Glaze First Mate

China Glaze Cherish for the Design which was from Konad plate number S6

I love this design...Nice clean lines! 

Check out this rad Cobra ring I got from Charming Charlie. I fell in love with this store located in Scottsdale Fashion Square. It is mostly purses and other accesories and its COLOR COORDINATED!! I just about fell out in the store. I also got a sweet purse. I think I am going to do a whole post on my next trip! I will be going back soon for a cute turtle ring and a purse I was debating on.

Thanks for reading! HAPPY FRIDAY!!
