Long Overdue post:(

Morning!!
Ok this post it Way over due but With work lately we been having issues with product and pricing due to the big wigs! and my schedule was crazy because of it. And also Because Harry Potter came out i was forced to watch it. Do hate on me i did like the movie its just a lot of issues came with going to the premiere i didnt go to. All the excitement really ruined it for me so i dont get as crazy.
Anyways!! i did this Mani after the Hello Kitty Mani and because i didnt have time i still am wearing it. Im still trying to recover from a crazy week so hopefully i get to change it but i did a simple Mani.
As you may remember i got a Matte Topcoat from Ulta and i couldn't wait to use it. so what else to do that add a solid base with a glitter top followed with a matte finish:). Here it is:)





On a Side note....HAVE YOU NOTICED MY NEW Watermark!??!!??!

Kardashian's OPI Line coming Soon!!!

Here it is!!!! There are some cute ones but i figured ill just get them all so i got a while to save so i will:) Cant wait!!!!

Mail/ Ulta Haul


Gosh i know im crazy! i needed a couple of things from Ulta and i was trying to find a Matte top coat, which i did. So i got a couple other things because i couldnt resist and on top of that my Sallys Beauty Supply Box came today! So polishes i Bought online are here!! and ready to show so lets get started!!

*Left to Right:Finger Paint's "Peaceful Purple", "Primary Colors", "All you need is color", Sally Girl's "Color So Disco", "So 70's", And "Chunky Pink Glitter". Also my Beauty Club Card

So i also ordered the China Glaze polish you will see at the bottom. I just realized it wasnt in the picture hen it came to posting this ha. So i ordered this sometime last week and i waited all day for it to come via UPS! The finger paint polishes were on sale for buy 2 get 1 free and each were on sale for $1.99 so i got a deal. The Sally girls were on clearance for $.94 I believe. I also got the Beauty club Card which gives you items for a lower price which i love. the China glaze was i believe $1.99 but i could be wrong.

*Left to Right:Essie"Matte About you", OPI "Funky Dunkey" , Pixel "Oh Parden Me!!", and "Blue Ray Baby"

So i went in to get the Matte was disappointed in the price but oh well. The Pixel Was on sale for $1.99 (dont know why i thought it was called Pixie). and the opi was on clearance with other one...which i wish i could have gotten:(


*China Glaze "Flying Dragon (neon)"

So ya idk if ill be buying any polish for a while....i may but idk it will have to be bought by coupons:) but its ok. I need to play with the new polishes i have before i can buy new:) and i have to build another shelve now haha. But i need to save for all the Kardasian's OPI line cuz i love all of them!!! if you haven't seen them yet....no fear!! Im going to post it next:)

Can You Say Minnie Mouse?!

One of my biggest supporters in my life happens to be a lady who goes by the name Maggie or what i call her mommy:). My mother loves the fact that I'm so creative and just like her. My mom is a Full time Nurse at a Nursing home for the elderly, and i have to say she loves her job! She loves that she gets to bring a smile to her patients when they look so down. She loves her job and they sure love her. Homemade cookies like everyday. So my mom may be a nurse by day but she is a professional cake decorator by night. No she doesn't do fondant but she does it old school with frosting. Even now that I'm older, i still get impressed by her mad art skills with frosting. Ill show pictures of her work when she is making a special cake to show you what i mean:).
This post is about my mom because with working all day, being a mother, and a wife she deserves to be papered so today, before i was going to do my Mani, I gave my beautiful mother a Mani. She loves Disney stuff so i decided a Minnie Mouse inspired design would do. I do apologize because the pics didn't come out as good as i hoped but you will get the just of it:)


As you can see a black bow with a rhinestone not and white polka dots on red polish:)
Hope you enjoy:)
-Liz

*Polishes used: Wet n wild's "Red","french white", and Sally Hansen's Black nail art pen.

Sally Wild!

Here it is ladies!! My Monday Mani! its simple and i wanted something so i can use some of my new polishes and at lease one of new art pens:)

*Sally Hansen's "Posh Plum", Nail Art Pen, and Wet n' Wild's "Party of Five Glitters"


My tape to show you what i used :)




So the pen glitter line is not too straight but i still liked it. This was a simple Mani so i hope you guys liked it. I got raves from it at work. Hope you guys enjoyed this. i am still wearing this one because I'm going to research a particular design for my next Mani:)
until then.....

thanks for reading:)
-Liz

Posh Plum

OK so i wanted to show....well i HAD to show you guys this color before i showed the Mani i did yesterday because this is just too gorgeous. This is Sally Hansen's "Posh Plum". This polish my mom stole from my room when i didn't even get to try it yet. they only reason how i found out was i looked at her nails and I'm like "wow mom that's a pretty color where did you get that?" i didn't assume it was mine because my mom is a nurse at a nursing home and the ladies and my mom do makeup days so they do their makeup and nails and act like models so i thought it was from there...but no...mom took my polish. So ya! here it is it deserved its own blog post:)...Posh Plum!!


So i hope you enjoyed it:) leave a comment:)

So before i say good night i was to apologize for a fail to post today:(

Mail! (haul from far ago)


Morning!!
About a couple weeks ago i ordered stuff online for nail art and i just been sitting here waiting while buying polishes on the side and on Saturday or Friday they came in but when i went to check the mail i had gotten my slips and was all excited and walked over to the office and it was closed. you can imagine my face....(Kicks and screams like a little girl)...i was calm and walked out and off to work like a sad puppy. So i told myself i could wait but reality i couldn't...it WAS MY NAIL STUFF!!!!
Anyways i woke up bright and early and went this morning and to my surprise it was the stuff i was sooooooo excited for:)!! you wanna see?!?! OK OK I'll show you!!

OK! we start with the simple thing....my dotting PENS!!!!! i could not wait for these buggers!! and i didn't realize how tiny they were but i don't care i love them!!
This was a set i hand my finger hovering over the keyboard to get or not to get. I didn't click yes til i saw a YouTube video on how to do a proper fade of glitter with sponge and she had them and i was like well now i have to so here they are:) all 24 of them:)
OK! this set is redic!! so originally i technically already have this just in a different form. Ya Ya i know. it was eBay so it was hella cheap so don't judge. Here is the thing. When i saw the lady from the post office bring out my BOXES yes BOXES i was like oh they must be individually wrapped or boxed for them to come in two boxes......the kicker......I got two sets of these beezies!!! so you see 20 here and i got another 20. I don't think that was in the purchase agreement but i paid super cheap so why not. I don't know what i will do with them yet but for now I'm pretty pumped. I love the glitter combos!! Who knows maybe i may save them for when i get 100 followers to giveaway :). We shall see.

*Its just another picture of the art pens with out flash

So there you have it! everything you go in the mail today. I'm still waiting on three more things from eBay and one box from sally's beauty supply. Now the hard part choosing what to do!!! with my nails and my twin set!!
The cool thing about these art pens. Both 2 different sets are two way pens so the two sets (I'm not talking about the twin sets the two totally different looking ones) are a pen like the sally Hansen's nail art pens and the other side when you unscrew them is a tiny brush for art so its pretty neat. i think i may save it for a giveaway. i really don't need two twins when i got another one that's pretty identical.....idk ill have to see.:)

Thanks for reading:)

Funky Leopard

good afternoon Ladies! So last night i put on my bass coat and thought "its too late bed now, ill finish tmr." so when i woke up i did just that. Now i have done a leopard design before, but this time was different because it would have color in the prints. It came out OK (you may thing differ) but once you done something great, if you mess up its like "man this is not as good as last time". but i do like the colors:)

Yes picture my cell phone taking a picture of you:). Ya ya so now you know what color my cell case is:). If you want to know something else......my iPod touch's case and my lanyard for my car keys is pink:D. I'm a pink freak!! couldn't you tell by my name?! ha ha..moving on.....


*Left to Right: Sally Hansen's "Green With Envy", Sinful Colors "Cream Pink", "Let's Talk", "Love Nails" , and sinful colors nail art black polish. (i actually used a art brush for the black because the brush that's with the nail art bottle is very pointy)

The dots before i put black on it. i thought it looked cute so i took a picture:). And it inspired me for another future Mani:).

The finished product:). Now your probably wondering why i had so many pics of my polish line for this Mani...well normally i use a 12 mega pixel Fulifilm Rsl Camera but its batteries are finally dying:(. i need to buy new ones. Until then I'm going to be using my old Samsung 8.2 mega pixels digital camera. Its pretty difficult to work with. to get this Mani pics i had to take tons of pictures to get what i wanted. normally on my fujifilm camera i just take a snap and I'm done. the only perk is that the pics from the samsung load up faster. So i do apologize. if it gets horrible ill just use my cell phone which sadly has better quality that my samsung ha redic.
So i hope you enjoy this many:) Thanks for reading:)

PS: sry for the mess:(

Polish Haul July 8th, 2011


Normally when i go on hauls it because i get stuck in town and i need something to do to pass the time. Small hauls are when I'm by myself because i don't have my boyfriend to stop me so i have to control myself:). I got a total of 5 yesterday and i wouldn't had 7 but i put two back because my boyfriend made me compromise. No Claire's if i got the two Sally Hansen's. so i put them back because i been dying to get some mood changing colors:). so with out further a due....Check it out!!!

*Left to right: Claire's "Glam" and mood changing "Calm/ Wild", Wet N' Wild "Blue wants to be a millionaire", "Party of five colors", and "Hannah Pinktana"

So there are random. Since i built my polish shelve i can see what i need and now when i get polish its a combination of what i want and need to add to my collection so that's why they are kinda random. I need blues i realized so you may be seeing a lot ha. I have another haul coming through mail because Sally's has a lot of polish on sale online. Mostly clearance and if its still going on the finger paint is buy 2 get one free:).
Back to this haul, the Claire's is buy one get one 50% off so which is why i bought two. The Wet n' Wild were $1.99 at Walgreen's so i got them:)

New DOGGY!!!

OK so recently a friend of mine posted about giving a English bulldog away to a good home. Me dummy had to ask my older brother "Which ones are those? the ones that walks around all buff looking?" and my brother say yes and asked why. when i told him why i asked his first words were "I WANT IT!" so we talked to my friend and today as I'm writing this I'm waiting for the call to go meet my friend and her boyfriend to pick up Lola:).
My family is very sympathetic to dogs. We have a German Shepard named Shuts, yes that's his name because his previous owner was forced to tell him to "shut the H*** up" when he was a puppy due to continuous barking that Shuts he thought was his name. and i bought Roxi, my shiatsu puppy last year around February because i planned to move northern Arizona to go to the university and i didn't want to be completely alone so i bought her.
We love our dogs too much and we are so excited to add another to our "Ninja" pack. Roxi is a ninja! And she loves cheese and popcorn, thanks to my mother. Shuts just loves rakes and balls. Cant wait to see what Lola likes:).
The reason i post this today is not to just share my love for dogs but because i think with the new dog and training Roxi to love Lola and not hate her will take time. I'm pretty much on my own to do this til late tonight when the boys in the family come home. So this is my post for today i guess you can say.
I'm still rocking my Laker's inspired Mani crackle so nothing new. If i get a chance I'm going to re due my nails with acrylic. BUT if i have time:(.

Til Next time:)
Happy reading,

just ignore for now haha.

China Crackle

Hello! Two late post but shockingly these two post are the colors i had on all Wednesday. I had a lot of naps throughout the day and i couldn't sleep so i did one of my ideas i was going nuts over. So i recently go this crackle and i knew i can do some crazy color combos. But when i was txting my boyfriend he was asking what colors? Lakers colors?! so i said no because i didn't have either but it inspired this Mani. so dedicated to my love.......Lakers Colors just beacause he is a Lakers freak:)

*China Glaze crackle "Fault Line" and Avon's "Sunshine"





You may notice i don't have my acrylics on well one chipped at work (DARN IT!!!) and one was loose because of too much water exposer so i decided to take them off and also because i wanted to try a different tip that will make them less wide. But hope you like the Mani!

Punch!




So i haven't really been in a creative mood. well i have but have you ever had soooo many ideas in your head on what to do with your nails that you just don't want to because you cant decide? maybe its just me. There are so many things i want to do that its causing me to block. So today i was going to do a cute mani for pink Wednesday but that just ended in plain pink nails but i found it to be a pro because i get to show you more of my polishes so here it is....
*Outside (because my dog Roxi had to pee:))
*inside with flash
*inside no flash just lamp

So here it is this is my Avon polish collection this one is titled "Punch" its one i used when i did the water marble. So hope you like the color:)
