Christmas: Red & Silver

Hi everyone! It's been over two months since my last post, wow I'm lame.
There has been some problems lately, like I got a job and then I was let go because they hired too many people, so I'm jobless again. :(
Also Bunny & I want to get our own place because we are renting a room right now and there's too much drama *sigh* On Wednesday I finally got a chance to give myself a manicure. My nail painting skills have gone down the drain.

^ Can you tell it's a star on my ring finger? lol


^ Under florescent lamp

^ After 3 days, please ignore the tip wear :P

OPI- I'm Not Really a Waitress
China Glaze- Cheers to You

SNOW!! :D

Sally Hansen- Mystic Lilac

Hey everyone. A few days ago I got my prize in the mail from Arie's giveaway :]
She sent me some cute stickers too, which I will use soon. I recieved the awesomely cool Mystic Lilac. I used 4 coats but it was totally worth it. Mystic Lilac is a greyish purple with bluish-green shimmer.

I love the length of my nails right now :]
I've stopped using fast drying top coats, I'm using my L'Oreal top coat again. Maybe that's why my nails haven't peeled :D

What I've Been Up To (with pictures)

Hey everyone. I finally uploaded all the pics on my camera, it's been awhile since my last upload (maybe over a month). Last month we went to Ocean City on Labor Day and the zoo on the 25th. This month we've just been home since my husband got a new job.

Ocean City MD

The day before we went to the beach, I painted Liz's toenails :]

My husband and his cousin are digging a hole for Liz, and Liz is like "wtf?"

LOL

National Zoo D.C

Liz kept calling the lion "baby" :]

Pandas are so cute! Too bad he was sleeping the whole time we were there.

I painted my nails a few days before going to the zoo with...
China Glaze: Midnight Mission- Dark blue shimmer. I used 2 coats. AWESOME color :]

My nails haven't been peeling that much lately, I'll post pictures soon :D
Thanks for reading everyone, and thanks to all my followers!
I know I haven't been posting a lot but I will try to post when I can. :D

Internet, at last :)

Hey everyone!!! After a whole month I finally have internet and we finally settled into our new place :D
Liz started walking a few weeks ago, and she's off the baby bottle now. :D
Our new place isn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, except I can't shower late, like past 8:30pm is late. Boo. My nails are really short right now, and I have to wash dishes more often now, so my nail polish chips faster.
I went to Sally's last week and they only had the Vintage Vixen collex. so I got one bottle since I can't really afford more right now.
I missed reading everyone's blogs, hope everyone is doing well.

My 4th of July Mani

Hello peeps! I hope everyone had a fun weekend :D
This year we didn't have any fireworks but our neighbors did so we got to see them, but then Liz got scared so we went inside.
I wanted to use more color on my nails, but this is what I ended up with.
Orly: Royal Navy- Blue jelly with blue shimmer/glitter (2 coats)

^ Under my dresser lamp (crappy stars much?)

Petal Power Konadicure

Hello everyone :]
Today I have another Liz inspired konadicure. (well her outfit, lol)

^ My baby :]

^ Outside in the shade

^ Outside in the shade

Colors Used:
Sally Hansen- Sun Kissed for the base
Sally Hansen- White On for stamping
Sally Hansen- Mellow Yellow for the dots
Konad IP- m3

I don't really like using the m3 plate, it's difficult to get the polish onto the stamper. And my cuticles look like poo.
I think my first Liz's outfit konadicure looked prettier.

Essie- Pretty Edgy Comparison

Hey everyone :]
Today I decided to swatch on my fake nails, I didn't glue them on because they are a pain in the toe to take off, so I taped them on lol
Essie: Pretty Edgy- A pretty grass green creme (2 coats)
OPI- Jade is the New Black- An awesome dusty green creme (2 coats)
Both polishes applied well, but I don't like the brush on the Essie polishes.

Update & Haul

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been really busy lately. Bunny and I got a membership at a Gold's Gym because we both have to lose a lot of weight. I think that's the reason my back always hurts, I gained so much weight since before Liz was born.
I still have a lot of polishes to show you, my untried pile is growing. o_O


From Sally's, they're on sale for $2.99 each, check out the sale section at your Sally's :]
I got: High Hopes, Heli-Yum, Happy go Lucky

From Ulta, they're having a buy 2 get 1 free on Essie polishes.
I got: Chubby Cheeks, Pretty Edgy, St Lucia Lilac

I will post up NOTDs for these polishes. If I paint my nails every day they start to peel badly, so I leave on my polish for 2-3 days.
Thanks for reading everyone! Off to the gym.
