Monday Marbling

Whoa, I think I've lost my marbles! Oh wait, there they are. Let's look, shall we?

Starry Starry Night (or Pink, Really)

No, not the Essie, I'm thinking of the song by Don MacLean. Which seems really random, but it isn't quite that rndom, as today's pink polish is Revlon's Starry Pink.

Let's see how it looks.

Cult Nails Hypnotic Collection!

Another collection full of fabulosity from Maria at Cult Nails! Yeah, I know I'm behind a ways, but to do her polishes justice I can't just slop it on any old way. These polishes are high end, like when you save up to buy that fantastic sports car you've always dreamed of. Okay, so they aren't the most expensive of all, but they are special. And I'm not getting anything out of saying that other than knowing that I believe these to be high caliber polishes that deserve to be loved. If you know me, you'll know that I'm not going to sell out for nail polish, no matter how addicted I am. So let's take a look at these beauties!

Saturday Shatterday!

Wow, so I'm sort of starting to get back into the swing of things around here. Still, I'd rather have the kids here all the time and never have online time if it were a choice. So anyway, I saved a couple of my Black Shatter NOTDs to share with you today, I think I'll make Shatterday kind of it's own day, like once or twice a month. I'm so totally NOT over the whole crackle thing, so if you are, you can feel free to skip these posts.

Is It Wednesday Already?

(Editing to add: Well, it was supposed to be Wednesday, but apparently I fail at scheduling posts. Herp Derp!)
Why yes, yes it is Wednesday! So I guess it's time to share some more pink manis with you!

Holiday Manis Over The 4th!

So I wore a few days' worth of Independence Day manis, and collected them all to show at once. And it's even fairly close to the holiday! Shocker, right? I just kind of set out a couple each of reds, whites, and blues, and used those over and over. I didn't want to take up a lot of time choosing polishes, there was fun to be had! The polishes I used at one point or another are these: Eyeko Cosmic, Ruby Kisses Regaled Out Blue, Sinful Snow Me White, Sally Girl mini white with no name, SH Reddy To Mingle, Lippmann My Old Flame, NYC Foiled Again, SH Diamond Prism, Icing Epic Winning, Ruby Kisses Blinged Out, Claire's I<3 USA, and Pure Ice Jet Setter, Show Stopper and Flash. The plain old glitter was some dollar store purchase. So there you have it, the colors I wore for a few days in a row. Now let's get to the pictures, after all, what fun is talking about them if you can't see them?

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.

I Need Polish!

I am having trouble sleeping (so what's new about that? nothing), and figured I could look at some pretty pictures to help. I already posted the first of my TSO pictures on my other blog, and at this rate, I might catch up with myself over here. I'm having a bit of a rough week, as Missy will be euthanized next Wednesday. I posted more about it on the other blog, so I won't rehash it here. That, and I don't want to be depressing everywhere. And of course, things could always be worse. Anyway, why don't we look at some pretty pictures?

Whoa, Time Flies!

Whether we're having fun, time really does fly around here. You'd think that staying home all the time would lead to lots of extra time, but we manage to fill it up quite easily with the things we do. First of all, there's a lot to do to take care of all the critters and give them the attention they need. The spare time I do have, I tend to use to read all sorts of things online, including a whole LOT of blogs. Because I can't just sit and read all day, I hardly ever have time to comment on all the great blogs out there, and that bums me out. I mean, everybody likes comments on their blog, and they'd probably like to know that one more person likes what they have to say. Anyway, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, because I'm not, just saying that we keep extra busy even without working outside the home. So, how about I get to it, and show off some more NOTD pictures.

Peeenk Week!

Although I have holiday manicures, I thought I'd share my personal Pink Week with you today. Just in case you have holiday overload or something. Haha. So click away to look at my pretty pretty pinks!

A Few Manis and Swatches.

Let's take a peek at the end of October (Wow, I'm getting behind again) and some swatches. Yay!

Swatches To Seeeeeee!

Let's see, I've got a CND, some Claire's minis, and some Sinfuls tonight. I hope you enjoy them!

Some Giveaways, and Some Pics!

Okay, no pictures of the giveaways, just some fast links, since I tweeted about these earlier. I don't wanna overload with just giveaway stuff. So take a peek at these, and enter if you're interested! And enjoy these pictures.

Argh! Can't Sleep. More Blue Swatches.

Well, since I can't sleep, I guess I'll share the next set of blue swatches. These would be the medium blues. I'll shut up and get to the pictures now.

Dark Blue Swatches

I've got a whole BUNCH of blue swatches for you, so I'll start with the darker ones tonight. I've done these the same way I always do, starting with one coat on the pinkies, and adding coats up to four on the index finger. The sheer colors I also swatch over black on my thumb and take a close-up. I don't use base or top coat, and the pictures are taken with my OTT light. Okay, let's see what we have!

March of the Manicures, or something.

I'm totally on a roll, so I'm going to catch up some more before I leave on my transport for the day. Hopefully I will have good pictures of dogs to share later tonight. Or maybe tomorrow, as I get busy when I get home, catching up with the chores I haven't done yet.

The rest of February.

Now we'll take a peek at the latter part of February, and then we'll get moving into March. Let's get right to them.

Onions have layers!

But this post is not about onions. It's about nail polish. I love layering different colors for different effects, and that's what I'm going to share with you today. So without further ado, these are some layering combinations.
