Hello from Hell (aka Phoenix at 119 degrees)

I don't know if this is correct, but my car read a temperature of 119 degrees while driving on the freeway at 3 PM. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!!!
Here's a fun scotch tape mani! The base is Sally Girl no name, a medium orchid creme. I used the cheapo craft scissors to cut the zigzag design and topped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Purple Pronto. I really like these colors together!

Thanks for looking!

Stamping dots - pretty

This is my second stamping session with my new Bundle Monster plates! I could only tolerate yellow and green glitter for one day, so now I'm compensating with something sweet. I started with two coats of Sally Girl, no name, medium orchid purple, then topped with one coat of Orly Grape Glitz. That's a nice combo by itself.

Lemons/Lemonade

Last night's yucky manicure was Hard Candy Sky with a non-Seche Vite top coat.  Giant dent, bubbles galore and sheet marks.Wah. Tonight, I did some konad stamping to hide the flaws. It's no surprise, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, and Orly metallics look the best. Blues on the left hand and metallics on the right. I adore this konad design and use it the most.

 Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue on my pinkie -

the best for opacity.

Right hand, different metallics, but they kindof all look the same!

The best was on my pinkie, Orly Luxe. This color combo is more dainty!

Makes me think of Tiffany jewelry store.

Major dent. Sally Girl no name glitter tc.

The Winners: Hard Candy Sky, SH Insta-Dri Brisk Blue, Orly Luxe

Yes, I should do better clean-up before taking my pics, but . . . it's my blog, I can do what I want!

Happy Easter!

The Easter holiday just begs us to paint pastel, Easter egg inspired nails. I am proud of myself: I had a plan, it took me an hour and a half of painstaking work, but it paid off. Sure, there are some flaws, but I'm still proud of my Easter egg mani.

The tools: scotch tape and craft scissors. The polish: Hard Candy Sky,

Sally  Girl no name lavender, OPI Sweet Heart.

Zoya Gemma and friends - never thought I'd like green nail polish!

Hi everyone! I am so excited to show you this mani. I think this is my new favorite. I saw it on someone else's blog and had to have. I never thought I would like green so much. This is Zoya Gemma which is Army green creme. I didn't go on as thick as Marley - this was easier to work with.

Zoya Gemma and two Sally Girl glitter top coats.

You can kindof see the subtle purple shimmer in this pick.

Now with the glitter top coat. As usual, camera doesn't capture

the glitter to show it's awesomeness. The glitter TC amplifies

the slight purple sheen in Gemma.

This is the second Zoya I've tried, and I think I'll be a big fan. Thanks for reading!

Venturing into the holo world.

I was very excited to see these mini bottles of holos a Sally Beauty Supply. They are the "Sally Girl" brand and are only 99 cents each.

Granted, they aren't super holo, but they were only 99 cents!

They go on very sheer so, will work best as a top coat.



I wish my camera would capture the million-rainbows effect of a holo. I did three coats of OPI Sweet Heart and two layers of the holo top coat. It was fun to play around with and decide if I want to invest in holos in the future. Thanks for reading!
