Ruby Pumps, White Veil

 Sounds like a pretty hot wedding, eh? Today's mani is actually from a bit back. The boyfran asked me to sport red and white for his favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals, during game 6 against the New York Rangers. I am in no way into any sports but I was happy to join in to support him. They won that game, he says due to my good luck mani, lol. Whatever! I did 1 even coat of Maybelline Racy Romance, 2 coats China Glaze Ruby Pumps, 1 coat of Sally Hansen White Veil, and a thick coat of Seche Vite.

This mani was gorgeous! Ruby Pumps is so vibrant and shiny. I can't believe it was my first time using it. The boyfran will tell you because I didn't do any more good luck manis the Caps lost the playoffs. IIIIII don't think so, lol!

Fig Jam

 Hey hey hey Bloggerettes! Today I have one of the new Revlon scented polishes, Fig Jam. She is a beautiful mix of bronze/orange and gold micro shimmer. I have nothing in my collection like it and it was the only one on the display that caught my eye. As someone who has never seen let alone tasted a fig the smell of this polish is absolutely delish! It's sweet and not at all overwhelming. The scent stayed with me for about 2 days before fading completely. 

This is 2 coats of Fig Jam and 1 coat Seche Vite. Formula was easy to work with if not a bit thick. I purchased her at Walgreens at $5.49. I personally think it's a perfect summer shade! As most of you know I work at Walgreens, well on Tuesday we received the new Sally Hansen Magnetics on the truck. I haven't seen anything online about it so I took a few phone pictures to show them off. 

They're $9.99 and have a $1 off coupon. All of them have the same wave pattern magnet on the cap. The colors are gorgeous, especially the gold and copper.  I think magnetics are pretty neat but I'm too shaky to really play around with it. I bought a few of the China Glaze ones but have yet to play with them. So ladies what do you think of this magnetics craze? 

Black Tie

Sally Hansen recently updated their collections and the Diamond Strength bottle design. The new colors are lovely but the only one I have picked up so far is Black Tie. Black Tie is an awesome black duochrome that shines blue, purple, green, and pink. The duochrome is obviously more visible in the bottle than on the nail. Despite that the color is still pretty awesome!

I couldn't get a decent picture of the color changing magic to save my life. But boy did wearing it convince others to buy the polish at work! Sally Hansen Diamond Strength retails for $4.99 at Walgreens.

Zombri being her hot skeptical self.

8 Years

Today is my 8 year anniversary with my boyfran! I met him a long time ago when I was a Sophomore and he was a Junior in Highschool. We've hit a lot of rough patches but for every bad there's triple the good! I had to work this morning but when I came home he had two steaks and roses on the counter waiting for me. We're currently working on our second bottle of wine so hopefully I'm typing this coherently, lol! To celebrate I wanted bright lovey dovey nails so I chose a sponge gradient of Pure Ice Twinkle, Sally Hansen Hi-Res, and Revlon Vintage. I didn't have any cosmetic wedges so for the sponging I used packing peanuts! Then to 'spice' in up I did some stamping with China Glaze 2030 and Bundle Monster Plate BM02.

 Pure Ice Twinkle by itself.

 Close up on my thumb kiss.

 Ring finger I Love You.

This combination is hot! It reminds me of a tropical alcoholic drink. Now I shall be returning to our anniversary festivities! <3

Hidden Treasure

Most know Sally Hansen previously released Hidden Treasure as a gorgeous flakie in their Complete Salon Manicure line that has since been duped by many. I guess in an appeal to confuse people still looking for the original they decided to rerelease it. But here's the catch, instead of a flakie you will now find a pink/green/lavender duochrome. The new Hidden Treasure is pretty under bright light and sunlight but without it it looks like a dull frosty white. The formula was awful, too thin and took forever to dry. I had bubbles and smudges after an hour of dry time. This is three coats with no 'underwear'.

This was the hardest polish to photograph, my goodness! I hope you don't mind my contrasting a bit to show off the duochrome and little sparkles. I can honestly say I hate this polish, it was not a necessary part of my collection. The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line retails for $7.99 at Walgreens.

You feed me orchids to give me courage...

Hello there bloggerettes! Today, long overdue, I bring to you Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Burgundy Orchid! She is a beautiful duochrome featuring red, purple, and gold. The gold aspect is hard to photograph while the base is mostly purple that shines red. I was able to purchase Burgundy Orchid on Amazon via seller 'cassiecosmetics' for $9 plus $4 shipping. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, the shipping was very fast and it was wrapped nicely in a cute little bag. As a little side note I had to do some light editing to my middle finger as I had 'battle wounds' from tying hundreds of balloons for an event at work, lol.

Application was perfect and unlike most duochromes this did not need underwear just 3 thin coats and a layer of Seche Vite. I did this pretty fast while babysitting my brothers uber cute puppies so I apologize for my messy cuticles. It was a beautiful sunny but chilly day which made Zombri and myself very happy. I'd like to thank everyone for continuing to follow my little blog throughout this busy time and once the holidays have passed I am definitely working on a giveaway so please bare with me!

For Bitten Pumpkin

A few weeks back I went on a scavenger hunt at Ulta for my first international swap. Along the way I found some things for myself and used my rewards toward some free nail polish. One being Ulta For Bitten, a beautiful dark plum with red shimmer and gold undertones. She's my first Ulta brand polish and she did not disappoint.

Love it, but it just wasn't enough! I was craving Fall and Fall is my favorite season! So a layer of Sally Hansen's Pumpkin Spice was applied and my craving was fulfilled.

Mmm, look at all that shimmer! Pumpkin Spice is a dark murky green/brown jelly with orange glitter. It's China Glaze Ick-A-Body and Fortune Tellers little sister. Both polishes were great to work with and worth being a part of anyone's collection! I may or may not have made an awesome franken using these polishes... ;). On another note I really want to spruce up my blog and I'm having a hard time working with btemplates, can anyone help or suggest a better website for templates?

Roses are yellow...

Fresh off my Franken Miss Zombri I bring you my Monday Floral mani for Polish-aholics Anonymous. The idea came to me in the shower, lol. This is Konad plate m57, special black stamping polish, Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Lightning, OPI Gargantuan Green Grape matte, and of course Franken Miss Zombri.

I'm typing this blog as I sit in the hospital. It's my daddy again. Last night was the worst night of my life and the scariest. I won't elaborate but it's been hard. He's stable but it's opened up a can of worms it seems. Hug your daddies girls!
