Holidays Are Busy!

Time just flies right on by, doesn't it? You'd think that having just the two of us for the holidays would mean I'd have a lot more time to laze around and do blog posts, but that has not been the case this year. Well, some of that is because we had to replace our toilet (talk about excitement, haha) and catch up on some other stuff around here, and some is because we were just caught up in the fun of watching holiday movies all cuddled up together.

I have been working on editing pictures of the holiday manis I did, but today I'll be sharing a couple more Cult Nails polishes, as those are ready to show off. Two gorgeous colors, as they always are. Here's a peek.

In other news, well, there isn't really much news. We're still trying to work on some remodeling around here, but that's pretty slow going, and the rest is pretty much all the same stuff, so I won't bore you with excruciating detail on that. Let's just look at the polish, okay?

Twelves!

Okay, I'm still editing a lot of pictures so today I'm just going to do a massive phone pic dump, and call it good. And by massive I mean REALLY massive, a ton of pictures, and no words. It's like Wordless Wednesday, except I'm putting words up here, so it doesn't really count. If you've been around my blog a bit, you've probably seen most of these already, just taken with my camera instead of the phone. But if you're new, and/or you just like to look at lots of pictures of nail polish, then this is the post for you. So with that, jump in and enjoy!

I Have A Green Thumb!

And with that green thumb, I have a bunch of other green fingers too! In other words, today's Cult polish is Deal With It! and I just adore it. Here's a quick peek at it.

Sorry about the poor cleanup there, but it happens. Anyway, not much to say, and it's the middle of the night, so I'll just get right to the pictures. Click on in if you'd like to see more.

All About The Bling!

So I'm back on the wagon here, and joining with all the lovely ladies on the Polish Days train. I don't have much to chat about today, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking. Sneak peek...

I must admit, I kinda cheated. I used the Sally Hansen strips for this mani. But I think it still counts, since it's super blingy, right? Anyway, if you want to see more pictures of it, hop on in and take a look.

I'm A Total Slacker

Yeah, I haven't been posting on the regular, but you're probably used to that from me by now. I'm not going to claim that I will suddenly be all posting every day, because chances are that I won't be, because I'm doing some more stuff around here and just not on my computer to edit pictures quite as much. Plus, I'm spending a bit more time reading as well, which takes up even more time. Still, I'm hoping I can get more motivated and figure out a good schedule.

Anyway, today I'm going to share with you yet another Cult Nails polish. Two of them, actually. I started with Nevermore, and then added Happy Ending over it, which was really a great name, because it totally was all happy making for me. But then I love me some glitter. Here's a sneak peek, of what it looks like with regular top coat and with matte top coat.


So with that, feel free to hit the link and look at more pictures, or wander off to another, more interesting blog.

How Did Wednesday Get Here So Fast?

Wow, time is just flying by, maybe because I've been fairly busy. Not complaining, mind you, just noting. So yeah, it's Wednesday, and I'm sure you know what that means. Why yes, On Wednesdays We Wear Pink. Just click this picture if you'd like to go to the site and look at all the nail bloggers who participate in this one. Some every single week, some once in a while (I'm closer to the latter); regardless, it's a fun little thing to do.

So, today's color is another from Cult Nails of course. It's called Untamed, and it's very pink. Here's a small peek at it.

Can I just say that I really love this one? I know, I've said before I'm not a huge pink person when it comes to nail polish, but this is the kind of color that makes me say maybe I can be. And like all of the polishes from Maria, this too has a fantastic formula. I love polishing my nails with these, because by know I just know it's going to go on easily and smoothly, and look great, even if it's not a color I'd normally choose. Speaking of choosing colors, I just got my order of the most recent collection, and I must say, it's yet another home run. I'm going to have to have another Cult Nails fest very soon for this, and the top coats from the previous collection. That makes me happy. Anyway, I've got to get moving on chores, and so on, so let's jump to the pictures. There's a bonus at the end if you do!

Charmed, I'm Sure.

As you may have figured out, I'm trying a couple really small changes lately, and I think I like the way it looks. For one, I'm adding a small picture before the jump, so you can decide if you want to see more pictures or not. And secondly, I'm putting all my chit chat before the jump as well. Mostly anyway. I'm hoping it will streamline the way the blog looks, and make it easier to check out just the colors you're interested in. Like today's color, which is the lovely Charming from, of course, Cult Nails.
As with all of their polishes, the formula on this is wonderful, and the color is gorgeous. I am seriously in love with these polishes, and if I had to choose one brand to wear forever based on how they apply, Cult polishes would be THE one, hands down. Yes, it's a bit pricier than some others, but in this case, you really get what you pay for. The only thing that would kinda suck would be not having every color ever - but a small business can't put out the volume of one of the big brand names.

Anyway, not much going on around here right now, unless I want to whine and complain about my first world problems, which I'm just not gonna do. Instead, I'll shut up, and let you get on with looking at a bunch of pictures of this lovely polish, or maybe just leave my blog because I've bored you to tears. Whichever. Regardless, I hope things are going well for you.

Pretty Pretty Princess

As I said, more Cult Nails polish for you. Today's polish is Princess, which is just lovely. Here's a quick peek at it.

As always I'm super impressed with the quality of these polishes. I have yet to find a bad bottle, and I've ordered every one she's put out. Not much else to say today, I'm kinda worn out after a somewhat busy day, and am hoping to get to bed early. So if you want to see a bunch of pics of Princess, hit up the jump.

Cult Nails Extravaganza!

Because Cult Nails recently released Behind Closed Doors, I decided to nab the untried Cult Nails polishes that I have around, and use them! So the next couple weeks will feature lots of Maria's polishes, which is awesome to me, because I seriously love everything they've sold. Even though it means I'll be eating real cheap for the next couple weeks, I totally got this collection (I'm pretty much on a No-Buy since I haven't gotten paid since July!). I told The Mate it could count as my Christmas present. Anyway, I may be missing out on all the holiday collections this year, but I was NOT gonna miss out on this one, I haven't missed a Cult collection yet! I'm super lucky that without my income we can still manage what we need, and a few wants as well.

So, no whining about money, that's not what this blog is about. Here's a small preview picture of Feeling Froggy!

I love this color quite a bit, it's a gorgeous shimmery green that makes me happy. It's also close to the color of our lawn, which of course is not going to be green much longer with winter coming along. We had our first bit of snow yesterday, but of course it's all melted. I'm looking forward to more. I hope it's not as mild as last year. Alright, you're probably not here to listen to me babble, so let's get to the pictures. Click away if you want to see more.

Oh, Hi There!

I'm back, and I have late Halloween pictures to share. Just my nails, not like costumes or anything. Heheh. Anyway, I only did a couple of Halloween manicures, because of everything going on lately around here. Nothing big, just been busy and so on. So, while I'm sitting here watching the election results, I thought I'd get this post in. Let's jump in and take a peek. that Obama has spoken, maybe I can try to get some sleep.

Are We Crackled Out Yet?

No. No, we are not. At least I'm not. Today I've got Nicole Orna-Ment For Each Other topped with Gold Texture to share with you. And then I'm taking a few days off for The Mate's birthday, so I'll be busy, busy, busy! Let's take a peek at the pictures.

OWWWP ... Crackle!

It's Wednesday, so we know what that means. Although today I did a bit of a switch with it, just because I can.


Let's just get right to it, shall we?

Bright and Shiny!

Today's polish falls into one of my favorite color groups, as it's a gold polish! It's also one of my favorite finishes, because it's glitteriffic! So rather than blather on about it like a bozo, let's just jump right in and look at it!

Da Bluuuuue!

I've got a gorgeous blue for you today, and I chose to accent it with silver crackle. I'm all sorts of busy this week, as The Mate's birthday is Friday, and I'm gearing up to try to make it nice and special, even with a very small budget. So, let's take a peek at the polish.

Nail Art Contest!

The leaves are turning, the temperatures are dropping, and it's nearly that time of year again. First up, I want to share with you the news! There is a great nail art contest going on for Viva La Nails, and you should totally enter! Just click on the poster below to go find out the details and how to enter. I'm not sure if I will, I'm so busy anymore that I haven't been doing as much nail art. And I'm not feeling super creative right now. But we'll see what happens.


Today I've got a lovely vampy color to show you, so let's get to the pictures.

My Second Polish Day!

I love joining in on stuff like this, so I'm glad to be back for my second Polish Day! The theme this time around is "Sentimental", and while it was hard to choose, I did find a polish that I was super extra excited to get my hands on. It's got one of the best names ever, Unicorn Puke! It was also released under a different name, but I really wanted the special ones labeled Unicorn Puke, and I got #255 of 275. Woohoo! So why don't we jump on in and see what is so special about this polish, besides the name and rarity?

Khloe Had A Million Sparkles

Today I've got a pretty fun mani that I really enjoyed putting on and wearing. I used two Nicole polishes for this, and it's a tape mani. I have to say, I'm kinda proud of how nicely this one turned out. Let's get right to it.

Kissy Face

As you may know, we have two dogs, and one of them is a Beagle mix named Krissie. We often use the nickname Kissy, or Kissy Face, or Kissy Kiss, or other variations on that theme. So when I saw today's polish, I HAD to pick it up, there was no way I could leave it there. Shall we see what it looks like?
