Twinsie Tuseday: Halloween Inspired Mani

Ever had one of those days where you meant to schedule a post for 8am, and when you went to check it the following morning, it was accidentally scheduled for 8pm. Well, today was one of those days. So I apologize! I hate when that happens, I've done this a few times already and I definitely need to...

Smitten with Mittens

This is another hard-to-find polish that my lovely friend Carrie let me burrow and I can't even begin to tell how you much I love this one! I never cared about this polish until I polished this baby on, and now I understand why this is a hard-to-find polish. It's so pretty, seriously. I feel like I...

Washed Out Or Vintage?

So I am really trying to execute this method. I want to get the right combo, but so I am really liking this one. If you haven't already seen the previous manis of this method, you can check it out here and here. I really love the way this look is. I don't really know what to name it but I really...

Twinsie Tuesday: A Polish From Your First Swap Ever

As you can already see today's theme is from our very first polish swap ever.  I could never forget my first nail swap! It was with Abbie from AbbieNail. Honestly to tell you the truth, I can't even remember how we came into contact with each other. I remember every polish she sent me but I...

POW!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I don't know how nailside does it, but her tape manis are always so gorgeous! I always have trouble with the tape method. Every time I go to take the tape off, it always pulls. Maybe because I don't have enough patience to allow the base to try but I have figured...

Swapped Nail Mail

I was so excited when I went to pick up this package from the post office! I recently swapped with one of my Twinsies' Elizabeth from Did My Nails She really wanted Cover Band Sticks n Stones, and I picked that up for her along with a few other polishes. But when I opened this, I was blown away! Not...

Vintage Looking Much

I did a purple version of this one a long while ago before I seriously started blogging and I wanted to redo this with a different color. I used China Glaze For Audrey and Revlon Sheer Seafoam. I wish I would have used a darker color so that once Sheer Foam was added on top, you can actually see...

V Gap Tip

I'm not sure if there's an official name for this mani or what not, but I hope you like it! It was sort of hard since the black polish kept bleeding into the tips but I think it turned out pretty good. This mani is super simple and eye catchy! I love it! I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out,...

Twinsie Tuesday: Triple Layer

Today's challenge turned out to be a bit better than I thought! This triple layer experiment seemed pretty scary to me and was definitely a challenge. Take a look for yourself!   So, I used Sally Hansen Shell We Dance? for the base, China Glaze Merry a Millionaire (thanks Jenna!) and then...

The Bad Fairy Dupe?

This polish was gifted from Carrie. Seriously, she's my polish bestie. I wish I had MAC Bad Fairy to compare but unfortunately I don't. So hopefully this will do! I never knew what the hype was about Bad Fairy until I used Poison Apple. They're pretty different however, I really love Poison Apple. Uh...

Twinsie Tuesday: Layered Glitterbomb

This weeks Tuesday theme is: a layered glitterbomb. I sort of cheated since I only layered it half way but I love the way it turned out so much! So, I sort of layered it. Kind of. Sorry. I totally cheated. It was so hard to get a photo of this. The lighting was just not working and the camera...

As the title says, this weeks theme is: indie brand! I am so excited about this post because I love me some indie polishes. I mean, who doesn't? Since I have been bitten by the indie bug, I have been having this problem of purchasing and really need to slow it down. So today I present to you 2Chix...

Orchidea

I did a swap a while with Diane over at Diane Cristi. We agreed that I needed some Bettina's in my life and that she needed some Color Clubs and OPI. She is so sweet! I think I came across her blog and commented about a NOTD she posted and she later emailed me about a possible swap. I said "YEAH!"...
