<br />
I apologize for being absent for so long, but tomorrow I will be writing a post about Sally Hansen Magnetic Color!! I received it from <a href="http://www.influenster.com/" target="_blank">Influenster </a>'s Summer Beauty VoxBox 2012! I should add that this is my first beauty box they have sent me and I'm excited to post pictures and a review tomorrow! A little info about Influenster is that when you sign up, you can unlock badges and if you meet their requirements, then you are selected to receive a VoxBox. Then in turn you review the products and spread the word about the items that you love! Easy right?<br />
<br />
Until then, Stay Pol!shed!<br />
<br />
Update..this post is going to have to wait until tomorrow...I spent so much time on my natural hair getting it curly that I will be doing the Sally Hansen tomorrow. Sorry!<br />

<br />
This is actually my second mani using Trout Pout, but I did not like how it turned out as I used Essie's Matte About You on top. Which looked awesome on the first day, but by the second started to show cracks. (On a side note, I'm thinking that if I use that next time, I may seal with SV and then use the matte coat to see if that works out better) Ok. Enough rambling, onto the color!<br />

This one was a 3 coater for me. I try to go on the lighter side of applying polish. Although, I noticed in some lighting I had bald spots where the polish is not quite opaque enough for my liking. I'm thinking that maybe I will try and put more polish on the brush with the second and third coat. I really think BL is started to be my favorite nail brand right now. I like that they're 3-Free, I like the array of colors they have and I think out of all my polishes has the quickest dry time. And of course with the SV it takes an even shorter time to dry. </div>

What do you think of Butter London's polishes? Do you have any favorites? Let me know!</div>

But I've decided to do this again for Valentines Day. If you look at the post below you'll see the mistake with my last mani. So without further ado I give you my cotton candy mani! I'm sooo happy with the way this turned out and I was able to keep the pink in the base. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Again for my base color I used OPI's Isn't That Precious? This is a much thinner polish than what I'm normally used to so a little goes a long way. I did two layers for the base, with Fish Out of Water and one more coat of the OPI followed by SV. I cannot tell you how happy am with how this turned out...especially compared to the first time. Not that it was awful, but not the color I was going for. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

They make great polishes that dry really quickly. I decided to try a cloud mani, but with my own twist. I used four colors instead of three because I couldn't decide! I used OPI's San-Tantonio, Tazmanian Devil and Dutch You Love OPI? Love it and I want to get more! I'll upload more pictures soon. <br />

Well, I have to go into a little back story first. So, hang in there and it will all be explained.<br />
<br />
Last week while perusing the interwebs, I came across several posts about a "Jelly Sandwich". For anyone who does not know what this means it's where you sandwich a glitter, flake or sparkly polish between two layers of a jelly polish (Goes on sheer, and what I discovered quite thin = more polish on my cuticles that my nails). And from what I saw, I knew I had to try this out. So, I decided I would look on ebay for a jelly polish and I came across a nice pink by OPI called Isn't That Precious? Easy to apply after realizing I needed far less than other polish by OPI that I am used to. ( I should have taken a picture of the pink...before the event *sigh*)<br />

The name of the pollish is called Fish Out Of Water and I'm SOO excited for it to arrive!! It has a clear base and I think will work out much much better than what happened with this mani. Actually, her other polishes look just as wonderful as well. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So, I was visiting one of my favorite lacquerista sites when one of the lovely women on that site posted their water color nails. She was also nice enough to put up the tutorial that she followed <a href="http://imabeautygeek.com/2011/10/13/painting-class-watercolour-nails-from-lucian-matis-spring-2012/" target="_blank">here</a>. I really liked her version of it, but then I decided that instead of using a white background I decided to use gray. Specifically Essie's Chin Chilly.<br />
<br />
This is the order in which I applied my colors (after the gray):<br />
1.OPI's Ski Teal We Drop<br />
2. Used Pure Acetone and nail brush (I used a sable oval brush..might try a different one next time) to blot the color around the nail. (this was done after each color application to each nail)<br />
3. CG Spontaneous<br />
4. OPI's Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It<br />
5. CG Lemon Fizz<br />
6. CG White on White<br />
7. Seche Vite<br />
<br />
Now, I didn't let each color completely dry before I did the next layer, which resulted in a more blended look. You'll notice that in the tutorial you could make out each color and there is a white gap and the tip and base of the nail. Again, I wanted to do something a little different and make it my own. I also really like that this can be worn with almost any color.<br />
<br />
I will also say that it is very handy to have a paper towel around as you will need to clean off the brush depending on what kind of look you want. I would leave a little of the previous color on, which is why the orange looks more red. Next time I will let each color dry first and use pink or white as my base color.<br />

For my stamping I used Bundle Monster plate #06 with Essie's Chinchilly and CG White on White. The 3D decal is in the "C" pack from the Bundle Monster 3D decals.<br />

Do you clean the plate after each use? What about the stamp? I think I will try this with an orange polish to make it pop.<br />

Until next time!

But I decided that I wanted to change up the color scheme and to keep it simple. So here it is!! I used Essie's Limo-Scene, Wrapped in Rubies and Licorice)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GW2QH9lqteLe0f0y2pz5v07eoOoV8xSkWPx9O8h9xz2wdaGKwHWYi9L7H7yssqEwDmrLf9QXLCwz11_mgvCCvYL-KGmV_d6Ff7pzCy19lVc5HqZsE7JLGudwuEDz8cG5GnCQ-CaaawUR/s1600/IMG_0159%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GW2QH9lqteLe0f0y2pz5v07eoOoV8xSkWPx9O8h9xz2wdaGKwHWYi9L7H7yssqEwDmrLf9QXLCwz11_mgvCCvYL-KGmV_d6Ff7pzCy19lVc5HqZsE7JLGudwuEDz8cG5GnCQ-CaaawUR/s320/IMG_0159%255B1%255D.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>I think I did okay with my first attempt. What I noticed though is that I need to have more space between the red and black to stand out more. I'm also thinking about using a gray next time I do this one as well. What are your thoughts? Have you tried to do this one or something similar?<br />
<br />

This is what I did for new years! One of my best friends got me <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82481077/cold-calculating-custom-blended-nail?ref=sr_gallery_32&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=nerd+lacquer&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade">this</a> for Christmas. Purple is my favorite color, and I decided to spice mine up a little bit by using to shine of the times as well. I have a before and after picture.

I like both of them equally, but I wanted a bit more umph for New Years. Next time I will leave it as is because it's such a fun color and I love supporting home businesses!<br />

So, I'm excited to share these baby blues! Ugh! I just love that holo color! (Essie's "Shine of the Times" on top) As you can see I've been pretty busy with my nails, but I haven't posted anything in a <u>long</u> time! So, here's what I've been up to. (I'll post the polishes I used later as I am about to start another one!)<br />

I recently got married and went on my honeymoon to Jamaica. As far as the nail situation goes, I got a gelish manicure so I wouldn't have to worry about chipping while away. So, now that I'm back I decided to treat myself to some new polish!!! I ordered from beautyjoint.com and got KLEANCOLOR polishes! I can't wait for the wonderful colors to come in so I can share...and of course paint my nails! But first I need to remove the gelish!<br />
<br />
Update! I never posted the polishes that came in, so here they are!! (<span style="color: red;">WARNING</span>: This is going to be picture heavy!)<br />

I ended up getting CG First Mate and Awaken. Both polishes are so creamy and the Seche Vite dries it so quickly! I have a few lighter blues in my collection, but I was looking for a navy color for the fall. (Now I just need to find my orange sweater to go with the blue) Also, I love doing the accent nail on the ring finger. Until next time!<br />

So, I have recently gotten back into doing my nails. Not since the days of middle school have I done my nails on a semi-consistent basis. This is what I am currently rocking right now. China Glaze Below Deck and Essie Dive Bar. On top of the China Glaze I have Essie Matte about You. I like playing around with different "textures" if you will. I'm about to change this one up as it is a few days old, but first to Ulta to get some more colors for the fall!JenniferChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15885992650600255567noreply@blogger.com2
