My Weakness...



...is blue-green/teal/turquoise polish. I'm pretty sure that makes up the bulk of my collection. So that explains why this color reminds me of Zoya Charla. But it's not near as sparkly and the application was a pain. That being said I still love the color! It's Claire's Glam.

I


        This is before stamping...thus the messiness. You can also see that the color didn't go on evenly even though this is 3 coats and it was a real pain to take off...especially with no pure acetone on hand!

I used Konad stamping plate M64 with Konad Special Polish in White. As always, credit to Dustin for stamping!

LA Splash


I took a little break from stamping for this manicure. I have been on a nail polish buying binge lately and have an embarrassing amount of polishes that I have yet to use. But really though, it's not like I'm going to pass up a polish just because I have some at home I haven't used yet!! And it doesn't help that Dustin is just as addicted as I am so I have no one to stop me! haha

Anyways...I know that I love a color a lot when I really don't have a desire to stamp over it. This one is from LA Splash and it's called Golden Seahorse...kind of a jade color. Such a fun name I think! I like the effect of the golden glitter already in the polish.

I got this at Ulta...all their LA Splash polishes were buy 2 get one free. I am not too familiar with the brand, but they had some unique colors. The formula was a little thick which made the application tricky but I think it's worth it.

Claire's Holo

I have been coveting some holographic nail polish for a while now but can't bring myself to pay the high price of them on ebay. If I wasn't a broke student with a hubby and baby you know I would be!! They aren't in stores really so I was very excited to find  gold and silver holo top coats at Claire's of all places! They work pretty well on their own though not just as a topcoat.

Zoya Julianne

This is Zoya Julianne with Konad plate M62. Simple but classy I think! I am a fan of Zoya...their polishes are unique and there are tons of colors. I don't think most pictures do them justice but in person they are amazing! I just missed out on their 3 greens for $5 promo which was slightly depressing considering my obsession. : P Their Facebook page is promising an amazing promo in the next few weeks so needless to say,  I am really looking forward to that. :)

Blue Zebra

This past week has been INSANE! But I have still been able to find time for my nails. It's a nice little escape. I have been on a buying spree lately and have a backlog of polishes that I can't wait to try! This design was stamped with Konad plate M57. The blue is Zoya Charla and it is absolutely gorgeous!! No picture does it justice. It's so pretty on it's own, I barely wanted to stamp over it.

Valentine's Nails Part III



FINALLY! I have to say I was getting pretty sick of Valentine's Nails...I felt so restricted! So this is the last one that I actually had on Valentine's Day. I like this one a lot, it just took forever! I stamped on the image, and then used a 3d nail art paint from Born Pretty to make the dots pink. So tedious, but I guess the result is worth it! Now I am free to do whatever design I want! yessss. Also I know these pic could be better. But since I am a broke college kid with a husband and baby, a super nice camera isn't high on our priority least right now. Maybe one day! PS Dustin I know you will read this...don't get any crazy ideas!!!

Polish: ELF Black stamped with Orly Luxe

Valentine's Nails Part II

I liked these nails for like a day, and then decided they were a little much. I have so many Valentine's Day related stamping plates that I obviously couldn't make up my mind!! It was fun while it lasted though...
