I COULDN'T BE STOPPED . . . .

These pics are from earlier this week on a mani I had done. I added a coat of . . . you guessed it . . Wet n Wild Prancer.

Glitter bomb city!! ONLY $1.29 EA!!!! I got these at a local beauty supply store. What is even more awesome is I was JUST looking at these glitters on a website and they were $3.00 ea. Glad I passed because I really got a great deal on these, I think.

Look at these awesome new style bottles for Ruby Kisses! I think they should change their core line to these bottles. And, they may have, I only saw these neon one's though in the new style bottle. These were $1.99 ea.

These were the two shimmers/glitters I got.

CUPID PUKE

Cupid puke - can't think of a better way to describe this mani. But don't let the word "puke" make you think I don't like this - because I do! I love it! I'm really in to layering glitter top coats right now, it's a phase, it'll pass.

This mani took 7 coats of polish to complete, lol. I can't believe there wasn't more shrinkage at the tips with all those layers.

I started with 3 base coats of Sinful Colors in Scandal. Then I did a layer of the red glitter using Wet n Wild Prancer. Then I layered over that the gold glitter using Santee Copper Kiss Glitter. Next I used Nabi, my name sticker is missing, but it is the bottle shown in all the pictures. It is a thick almost gel like clear base with opal colored glitter and light pink pearlized hearts suspended in it. I did have to do some fishing to get the hearts out, but it wasn't any big deal. For the last and seventh layer I did a coat of seche.

I love this! With everything that is going on with this mani it looked like Cupid had thrown up all over my nails.

NOTD - PARTY PURPLE

The glitter angels are singing over this! Neons plus glitter is quickly becoming a favorite combo of mine! I love the different sizes of the glitter, I really think that's what makes this so fun. I think I need a bright neon skittles pedi with big glitter layered over the top. I don't care if it's winter or not, I still rock flip flops all year round! :)

I started with 3 coats of Color Club - Power Play, which is a really cool neon purple color. It is a little darker and more purple than shown in these pics, but it is still pretty close to the real thing. Then I used Santee - Copper Kiss Glitter, which isn't copper AT ALL (pet peeve!). For a cheap dollar polish this glitter applied pretty good. The base of it was almost like a gel which I think helped with the application of the glitter pieces.

I took lots of pics in different lights :)

NOTD - DADDY'S FAR OUT!!

Well this is my nail of the day. I am calling it Daddy's Far Out because the base color is Sinful Colors - Daddy's Girl and the gold glitter top coat makes it look outer spacey to me, lol. The gold top coat is by Santee, and I believe it is called Gold Diamond. However I forgot to grab the bottles this morning for some pics - whoops!!

Anyway - I'm heading out for the rest of the day. Have a great weekend ladies :) See you all on Monday!

LAST OF THE LAS VEGAS HAUL

I was really, really busy last night laying on the couch watching tv, so I didn't have time to paint my nails last night....So, today I will be sharing with you all the last of the nail polishes that I picked up while out of town. I tried to do a little research on these, as some of the brands I had never heard of or seen before. All of these nail polishes cost me no more than $2 bucks each.

First up is: ABSOLUTE! and NK NAIL ENAMEL:

I put both of these brands together because they are made by NICKA K NEW YORK.

Second is STARRY nail polish with Glitter:

I found a website for this brand of nail polish. It is made for by RICH ON INC. and they sell for $1.99 ea.

Third up is RUBY KISSES: How gorgeous is that blue? I found these at a beauty supply / wig shop. The ONLY beauty supply store we could find other than Sally's and Ulta. I couldn't find anything on the manufacturer of these, but I did find a website that has them for sale at $1.99 ea.

Fourth I have COSMO:

I couldn't find anything on this brand. I did see it on another nail blog just this morn, but I can't remember now who it was (I am too lazy to look it up right now too). This color reminds me of Sally Hansen's Arabian Nights.
