Rainbow Fields


Bloggerettes, it's time for Holo Hump Day, another group mani. I used a new pair of earrings I bought on Etsy for inspiration. My base coat is 3 coats of Nic Stick's Rainbows End, a gold holo. Next I taped my triangles then applied a layer of Orly Fancy Fucshia, then 1 coat of China Glaze Strawberry Fields. Lastly for my triangle border LA Colors Blue Glitter. Rainbows End was incredibly difficult to work with because of the shoddy brush. You can see, especially on my pinkie, the dragging.

 3 coats Rainbows End, no top coat.

The last picture is the completed mani with the earrings from Etsy. They aren't an exact match to the earrings but I am still happy with the end result. Don't forget to check out the other ladies Holo Hump Day manis!

My first water marble...(pic heavy!)

Oh happy weekend full of sleep and more sleep! So here's my first attempt at a water marbling. I think it came out pretty good but not quite what I expected. This is China Glaze Cowgirl Up, China Glaze For Audrey, Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment, and Orly Fancy Fuschia, my franken Bile, base is 3 coats of Essence Prismatic White, free Hello Kitty decals from bornpretty and a flower from my moms garden. I know that's a mouth full! The first finger I did came out the best, in my opinion, it's also the finger I didn't use any protection, lol.

After the first clean up attempt. Ladies use protection!lol














I'm pretty proud of my first attempt. Though I wish For Audrey would have been more noticeable. I used one of my mom's flowers on my pinkies. I cut the petals to fit my nails, painted a fresh coat of polish, placed it, then painted a top coat. It didn't hold very well though and was peeling immediately. But I wanted to try!

I won my Essence Prismatic White from a giveaway from Holly at shimmerspark along with a holographic eyeshadow in Lilac and a holographic lip gloss in Holoberry. Keep in mind Essence states these are 'holographic' when they are really duochrome.
 Cute tape!

Lilac is a purple base with blue duochrome.

Holoberry on the left and lilac on the right.
Holoberry is a pink based gloss with yellow, green, and blue duochrome.

Prismatic White is a white based polish with green and pink duochrome.

Holly had super cute stamps and business card. This was a great prize as it was a brand I had zero experience with and it allowed me to try it out. The eyeshadow is my favorite base for my purple/blue looks. The gloss is gorgeous and the polish works great. Thanks Holly!

I want to be with the sun and the moon...I've been hopeless.

My daddy's home! He's doing much better but is still weak and will be in pain for several weeks. The first night at the hospital I painted my nails with Wet 'n' Wild Caribbean Frost.  After I visited him his last night in the hospital I wasn't ready to go home. Super Target was on the way back and I decided to take a chance at finding Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment and do a little retail therapy. Luck struck and I was able to buy my very own bottle! I immediately came home and painted right over the green and it looks hot!








Blurry pictures are there to show off all that holo-sexyness. I just came home from work and really wanted to try Make a Comet-ment over black but it looks like some goodies came in the mail! Does anyone else just look forward to getting mail like I do?lol.





Appreciate my messy bed!

Green with a lack of envy.

Here's a look I did a few weeks ago after making a trip to Target in search of Nicole by OPIs Make a Comet-ment. Unfortunately they were all out and the closest store that had any in stock was too far away for my gas tank to care. But I did find two treasures I was more than happy to add to my collection, Essie Dive Bar and Nicole by OPI Brilliant Idea. My typical go to lazy look is nails one color with my ring nail being my accent nail. But this time I took some initiative and did a fancy glitter tip.




Lately my Seche Vite has not been so kind to me. It bubbles up and spots my manicure and has a nice mixture of different polishes gathering on the brush. Le sigh. Around the same time of this manicure I got to spend some time with my sister and her kids and did one of our favorite pass times...taking the dogs to the park! Here's some pictures of Zombri and my sister Audrey's pup Gir!











Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful women out there who give a shit!
