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.

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!

My Kingdom For A Title!

Er, well, since I have no kingdom, I suppose it would be more like, "My nonexistent dream of a kingdom for a title!" But yeah, I couldn't think of anything really creative or whatnot, so you're stuck with that one. Well, *I* am stuck with that one. You can probably block it out with a little post-it note over the monitor or something. Wow, I think I've been too long without sleep, and it's affecting me quite a bit. So why don't we see what I put on my nails, and I'll try to rein in my inane ramblings.

Thursday Twofer

Today I have two absolutely beautiful Pure Ice polishes to show you. I really like the Pure Ice brand, I find the quality is pretty decent, especially for the price. And they have some really beautiful colors. I'd love to see them extend their line even further, but I'll take what I can get, and be happy about it. Hee. Let's take a peek, shall we?

Fun Weekend Mani!

Yes, it's another adventure in layering with glitter and such! With a bonus yellow mani that I just love. Shall we get right to it?

Sunday Swatches

I've got some swatches for you, but I'm going to hurry through this, as it's pretty nice, and I want to get the dogs out a bunch today and run their tails off. The more tired I make them, the better. And I think we might try to go fishing too. Anyway, I've got a Borghese polish and some Icings to show you today. Let's get to it!

Sunday Swatches - Maybellines

Well, technically it's still Sunday to me, even if it's after midnight. But until I go to sleep, it's still Sunday in my book. And I want to share the swatches of the lovely Maybelline colors I picked up a while back. So let's just get right to them!

Sunday Swatches!

Hi hi hi! I've just got a couple of colors for you in Sunday Swatches today, and then tomorrow I'll finish up the Cult Nekkid collection! Of course you KNOW I saved my favorite for last, Toxic Seaweed. I would have posted yesterday as planned, but I decided to take a break from online stuff, and spent the day almost completely away from the computer. And yeah, some of that was spent just sleeping. Hee. Anyway, let's take a peek at Silver Mint and Liquid Gold.

Almost Skipped Today's Post!

Since I'm all thinking about Jack and what's going on there, and what I can possibly do to help, I thought about passing over the challenge post, but I figured I'd go ahead and post it. I'll be reminding people until I'm blue in the face about it, and you probably don't know Jack, so you might want to see other stuff here too. But you'll have to click to see the pictures.

Let's End The Year With Xmas Manis!

One last post for the year... this one containing a few Christmas manis that I snuck in between the challenge ones. I didn't go as overboard as I have in the past, mostly because it's been a super busy year this year, and I had to hurry some of these. But I enjoyed them anyway, and wanted to share them with you.

Because I Am A Follower.

I'm doing this meme with Aunt Becky. Except I'm going to put polish pictures in between the questions. That's just how I roll and stuff. Okay, let's get to the fun!

I'm Earning My Stripes

Okay, so don't ask me what I'm doing to earn them, I just remembered that phrase and used it. Hee. So, anyway, today's challenge post involved stripes, and I had a blast with it. Let's take a peek.

I've Been On A Cleaning Spree!

And what better way to wind down at night than to post some Kleancolors? Let's get right to it so I can get to bed soon.

Crackle, Crinkle, Crumple... Whatever.

This post is all about the crackles. I did them for a whole week, because I was liking them a lot. Well, I still do, but I like a bunch of other stuff too. Okay, it's hard to find nail art that I *don't* like. So anyway, I'm just going to post these fast-like, and let the pictures speak for themselves. Okay, one layering mani too.

Okay, Some Polish Pics, FINALLY!

Yeah, I know, I've really been slacking off lately. I will try to do better, but no promises. Mostly because summer is always busier, plus we've been dealing with so much different stuff around here. Some is good, some is bad, some is just meh, but it takes up time and energy. I'm sure everybody can relate to that in some way or another. So, let's get to looking at several days of Nicole manicures! (And at the end, just two pedicure pictures.)

Wow, I've Been Way Too Lax!

So I've been extremely absent lately, and I'm sorry. It's just been such a madhouse around here lately, and I've been so wiped out that I haven't spent nearly as much time at the computer. I've even been skipping doing my nails off and on, which we all know is odd for me. But I'm coming back, and hopefully won't be abandoning you any more! Now if we could just get the Jeep truly working again... yeah, it's out of commission again. This time it's brakes. Argh! At least the warranty covers it, but we have to wait until May 6th for it to get into the shop!

So, since I've been so lazy, I don't have mani pics, but I do have a bunch of swatches (the entire WNW Fast Dry collection that came out recently). I'll split them up into two posts, because I have a LOT of pictures of them. So let's get right to it!

Wine Tasting Tonight!

Before I head off to our Wine On The Lake event this evening, I thought I'd post a few more NOTDs for you to enjoy. Fun fact, I got good and sick during that week, and left my nails the same color for way way longer than I usually do. Which turned it into a bit of a challenge to see just how long I could leave them. So I am including pictures of that too. Let's get right to it.

Finishing Up With The Frankens

Okay, here are the rest of the frankens I've made so far. A nice even dozen. Hee. And don't forget, new transport post going up on the other blog. I'll stop pimping it out eventually. Maybe. We got massive snow last night, like 8 inches or more. I'm going to have to shovel it, but I don't mind that much. We might call a snow plow to do the driveway though. It's $20 well spent, since it would take me quite a while to do it, and make me sore. Anyway, let's get to the polish since that's what I originally set this up for.

Some China Glaze Swatches.

Man oh man, I have so much to do, and it seems like so little time to do it in. And then yesterday there was an emergency transport, and I couldn't resist. Plus I have a bunch of pictures to edit, but with everything going on, I don't know when I'll fit that in! And I really want to catch up on blogs, I've got tons to read! Maybe if I can really really bust my butt, I can even find some time to swatch while I edit, since I have some new stuff to show you. For today, though, it's going to be China Glaze swatches. I've been meaning to post these, so take the leap and see which ones I've got to share!

Let's Round Off 2010's Manicures.

The last week of the year, I managed to do my nails a few times, even though we were pretty occupied with our new 'toys'. Take the leap and see what I did.
