Disney Nail Polish Ocean Mist

Yup, I went to Disneyland and bought nail polish!!!  I couldn't believe all the things you could buy at Disneyland!  The one I'm going to show you today is Ocean Mist.  The color is a soft green with yellow sparkles.  This polish wasn't as opaque it took three coats to get full coverage.

 

Well I couldn't stand having nails with just polish on them anymore.  So I added some yellow dots!  Orly's "Hook Up".  Still I love the sparkle of this polish.  The color is green with hints of yellow.  I would of liked more blue (only because of the name)  but I don't have anything like it in my stash.  So I'm completely happy with it.

Because March has been so busy I haven't been keeping up with my relaxed 31 day challenge.  So tomorrow I wade back into the challenge... with my nemesis water marble.  My darling friend WhiteRaven is wonderful at it.  So I'm going to call her up and beg for help.  ; )

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. 

Disney Nail polish

I got two polishes while I was at Disneyland!  Who knew that you could buy polish from Mickey Mouse!  I was surprised and to be honest I couldn't get to the cash register fast enough.  Today I'm going to show you the first one I picked.  It's a beautiful dark purple color called "Diva of the Deep".  I really love this polish. 

This is one coat and it went on wonderfully.  My nails and cuticles are in rather rough conditions after a week long vacation.  It's going to take me at least a week to get them back to looking decent. 

Disney has put together a lovely polish here, it's opaque in one coat.  It's a deep grape creme with a very slight purple shimmer to it.  Tomorrow I'll show you the second polish I got called "Ocean Mist" 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I'm Back!

I know it's been a while since you've all heard from me.  First I had a death in the family, then I had the crud and then I got to go to Disneyland in California.  March has been crazy already!  But I'm back home and I've missed you all!

Tomorrow I'll swatch two nail polishes I picked up in Disneyland!  Did you know that Disney had a cosmetic line?  It came as news to me!  Of course if there is a nail polish you can trust me to find it!  I was holding a bottle and grinning ear to ear when my husband said "Only you would come to Disneyland and buy nail polish."  A young man next to him laughed and pointed to his wife and said "I just said that to her!"  Nail nerds, we're everywhere!

I'll see you tomorrow

Day 9 of the 31 challenge

Hello my reader!  I've decided to toss my dubious nail art talents out there and join The Crumpet in her next awesome Laid Back 31 DC.  I love following these challenges because it shows me a lot of wonderful art, introduces me to a ton of great blogs and gives me inspiration to perfect my manicures.

The prompt for the day is the saran wrap technique.   I've never tried this technique before.  I really like it.  It gives an interesting texture and look.  I used Orly "Luxe" and OPI "Ink".  The gold and purple really looked good together.  They are two of my favorite polishes.  I never really expected to like a gold polish as much as I like Luxe.

I think I'll play with it a little more and see if a tighter ball will give me more of the cool crinkles looks.

Day 8 of the 31 Challenge

Hello my reader!  I've decided to toss my dubious nail art talents out there and join The Crumpet in her next awesome Laid Back 31 DC.  I love following these challenges because it shows me a lot of wonderful art, introduces me to a ton of great blogs and gives me inspiration to perfect my manicures.

Well I missed one!  I was overwhelmed by weather and work and didn't realize it until late last night. 

Duochrome, Holo or Flakie was the prompt for last night.  I have a lot of polishes that meet those requirements.  I don't which is harder, having a ton of polishes or only having a few.  Also, I wasn't sure where the glitter/flakie threshold was.  So, after an evening of playing with my polishes I did this.

I was going for a sort of sunflower against the night sky.  Maybe in an impressionist sort of way.  You know if you squint and look at it from far off!  Really I do like them.  My bonus mom loves sunflowers.  She had a serious surgery Monday so I'm hoping these will cheer her up!

I hope you all are staying warm and dry! 

Day Seven of the 31 Challenge

Hello my reader!  I've decided to toss my dubious nail art talents out there and join The Crumpet in her next awesome Laid Back 31 DC.  I love following these challenges because it shows me a lot of wonderful art, introduces me to a ton of great blogs and gives me inspiration to perfect my manicures.

Alas today I felt uninspired.  It was a short weekend and long day.  The danger of foot deep snot looming over me.  I went boring.  Forgive me faithful fans!  I promise to be more perky next time!!

Okay so I did my nails different colors and then topped them all differently.  On my fore finger I used Zoya's "Opal"  Which didn't show up very well, so I used it on the middle finger as well.  On my ring finger I put purple glitter over the purple polish.  My pinkie was sort of an experimental fail.  Hehe.  I got Sinful Colors "Tokyo Pearl"  I thought it would be a shimmery top coat.  Interestingly it was an opaque polish.  O.O  well  good to know because the color is pretty!  Alas it completely covered the red. Heh.

More excitement and awe tomorrow!  Have a great day everyone.

Rainbow stars!

My sister loves rainbows!  I call her my baby sister, even though she's old enough to drive, drink and get into trouble.  But what can I say, the urge to fuss over her is still pretty strong with me.  So my baby she remains. 

This weekend I got some rhinestones in the mail from MASH.  I got round and star shape.  I painted my nails black with Sinful Colors "Black on Black"  Then I did a thick top coat and put the stars on across the tips of my nails.

Is it strange that I'm almost ashamed to admit that I used Northern Lights on this?  Really the stuff is becoming an addiction.  Heh. 

I really like how this came out.  I think next time I might try doing a sky or darker blue for the background.  The glequin doesn't pop quite as much as I would like.  In the house you can barely tell I have them on!

However I have a-LOT more shiny things that I can use!  So I'm not going to stress about it much.  I hope you all are still having a great weekend.
