Can you believe it is almost Christmas and we have no snow in New England? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone, I have been missing my blogging (almost a full year now?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm back today to show off a holiday manicure I did this week to help make it feel like Christmas.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I painted all my nails (except for ring finger) with Blue Zoom (fast drying) and painted my ring finger Gold Metal. I added two coats of Bling over the gold base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I then stamped a snowflake design using plate MR-01 with the Pueen stamping polish. I then added a layer of Gold Enchantment to add a bit of glitter to my other nails. I then used CND top coat to finish this look off. It came out so bright and fun! I am absolutely loving this mani!</div>

Hello everyone! It simply has been too long! After healing from my surgery, I attended and graduated at the top of my class from nail school. I went in and took my state-board test, and I am happy to say that I am a licensed nail technician in the state of Massachusetts. I have been busy working in my new salon, learning so much about the nail industry! Now, just because I'm working doesn't mean I have stopped painting my own nails!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been lacking posting on here, but I have been keeping my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/brie1284/brie1284-designs/">pinterest.</a> account up to date, and my <a href="http://instagram.com/brie1284">instagram</a> account updated daily (not all nails, fair warning!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to post some of the nail designs I have been making and posting on these sites, shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/fb/c6/16/fbc6165c4610e8d1b985eefd99458c87.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/fb/c6/16/fbc6165c4610e8d1b985eefd99458c87.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this look I did a gradient yellow to green, and then stamped over it with black cracked design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/8c/50/f8/8c50f8269316546316bb381d05a3102c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/8c/50/f8/8c50f8269316546316bb381d05a3102c.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for this look, I used neon colors as the base, and then stamped on a water marble like design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/49/c1/6d/49c16d05f67b219f4d32c65f6195f1cb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/49/c1/6d/49c16d05f67b219f4d32c65f6195f1cb.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was playing neons again, and wanted to work on my freehand designs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/39/f1/3a/39f13ac7002a072599fda9035318bc97.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/39/f1/3a/39f13ac7002a072599fda9035318bc97.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this look, I used two different blues and black to do more freehand designs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a bright orange as a base on this look. Then I added blue tape triangles, and then put neon triangle nail studs inside the blue to make this look really pop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/23/3d/59/233d59ddf3ca9794d3e855ccdab62e7d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/23/3d/59/233d59ddf3ca9794d3e855ccdab62e7d.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look, I used pastel colors as the base. I then used tape to make the designs with black to add some color blocking. I also put glitter on the pastel colors before adding the black.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10433834_10204047145242966_5394737217200103488_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10433834_10204047145242966_5394737217200103488_n.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
Finally, my current nail look. Blue gradient back ground, with small glitters. Then stamped over it are mermaid fin aka fish scale design in gold!</div>

Oh my, it has been a while since I have updated my blog. I have a good excuse (I swear!) So last year I kept getting sick. I ended up seeing a ENT (ears, nose and throat doctor) and found out I had about 5 marble sized nasal polyps blocking my nasal passages.<br />
Because of them, I had chronic sinus pressure, headaches, post nasal drip, laryngitis, and swollen glands. I ended up going in for surgery on December 31st, and had the beginning of January to recover.<br />
I also attended nail school mid-January into early February. In Massachusetts, you are required to take a 100 hr course, and be able to pass your state board exam. I finished at the top of my class, and as of March 2nd I am a state certified manicurist.<br />
I currently have two part time jobs, one in retail and one at a nail bar. So please excuse my absence for I have been very busy. I can tell you I do a lot of quick uploads and photos on <a href="http://instagram.com/brie1284">My istamgram page</a> . Don't mind the other photos of dogs and food of course.<br />
Hopefully things will settle down and I will have more free time to update the blog more often.Simply Thrifty Nailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00550255436190080362noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514706738819449173.post-3394644590625859802013-12-15T13:47:00.000-05:002013-12-15T13:57:35.421-05:00Maybelline Color Show Street Art (Street Chic) matte glitters<div style="text-align: center;">
Good afternoon everyone! Hope your weekend has been fun and full of snow! Well, I know my has been. We got about 8 inches of snow down here in Boston from last nights storm. Well enough about snow, let me get onto nail polish! I was at my local CVS last week, and discovered some new matte glitter polishes by Maybelline. They had five colors including a deep blue, light blue, red, green and a light pink. I picked up four of the five polishes (I'm not that big into pink)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this line seems to be a new addition of the polka dot collections that came out a while back (clearly spotted is one of my favorite polishes!) I did some quick swatches over Sally Hansen Wet Cement, to have all the colors over a neutral color.<br />
The polish spread very well, and had a good mix of big and small glitter bits, some bar glitters and a good mix of black glitters mixed in with each color. They also dried very quickly and smoothly as well. I don't know if this is limited edition or not, but I hope there are permanent colors. I've been enjoying the new trend of matte glitter top coats! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, now onto the photos of the bottles and swatches.</div>

<span style="color: #45818e;">Hello everyone! I've been playing around with some of my stamping plates to try and get a fun and festive look going for this winter and holiday season. I'd like to share my latest design with you.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7asJjeABjxxxZWzF7oevkHV3sdO8TDlzhy5yucOdX-odEQnsJeRdp_8MYeeQEUnB3i0HKERCoNKQOK9bja5tgKkPoyJsM18g7bm8J2_dyTyQ_SYA-3CGdCuEprVni3u1qdXWDlu-Do_Gy/s1600/greensnowflake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7asJjeABjxxxZWzF7oevkHV3sdO8TDlzhy5yucOdX-odEQnsJeRdp_8MYeeQEUnB3i0HKERCoNKQOK9bja5tgKkPoyJsM18g7bm8J2_dyTyQ_SYA-3CGdCuEprVni3u1qdXWDlu-Do_Gy/s320/greensnowflake.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">First I started off with one of my favorite greens out there. Loreal's Hyde Park is a beautiful warm green that tends to dry a little darker than the color in the bottle. I used three coats and a top coat to start this look off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQu7FzaKmdKPGk5UkuvChcOuq4-mNVYRCm_uoAzpc7qoqRZ_H-PEsgggzUPRam8DjCoswVZTlo1rFGxGRDaYuVfKP7XG3LdHK6NAshDIwS84B7yJ3P0-DgZTI4PBx9LD1TRlo044F5CoUC/s1600/bmholidayplate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQu7FzaKmdKPGk5UkuvChcOuq4-mNVYRCm_uoAzpc7qoqRZ_H-PEsgggzUPRam8DjCoswVZTlo1rFGxGRDaYuVfKP7XG3LdHK6NAshDIwS84B7yJ3P0-DgZTI4PBx9LD1TRlo044F5CoUC/s1600/bmholidayplate.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"> I used Bundle Monster plate BM-H02 with the snowflake design. This is Bundle Monster's holiday plate set. It comes with a bunch of wonderful designs for every holiday and celebrations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"> After letting my nails dry, I applied Pure Ice Silver Star to my nail plates and stamped with wonderful design. I love how well the silver shows up on this color, and also looks like shiny snowflakes as well. I think this combination works very well together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We are finally here! My last five looks to finish up doing a year of polish! I still have a ton more to try out too! I think I'll keep this blog up, but not an every day thing. I must admit it got a bit overwhelming at times. I am going to take some time off for my wedding and honeymoon from the blog. But while away you know I'm going to be looking for new nail polish out there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My final five looks (now seeing them) have a lot of yellow, three of them to be correct. Ok, here we go!</div>

I was a little disappointed with this color. It just seemed so thin and really didn't dry with a lot of shine. I was a bit upset because I've had great results with other Ulta polishes. Maybe it was just a different formula. The color is beautiful in the bottle, but very thin when applied. </div>

Oh, hello bright ass neon! This color looks a bit on the yellow side, and it looks that way in real life. I grabbed this bad boy up a few weeks ago feeling the neons of summer calling me. I used a base of white polish to help this color pop a bit more. I had great results with this polish, a must have for summer. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked this color up a longgggg time ago. I can't even tell you when. I can tell you I was super surprised with how much I love this polish! I was worried that it would dry bumpy and grainy, but instead it was shiny,smooth and glossy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
I wanted to add a bit of color to this beautiful polish. I grabbed one of my favorite plate patterns and some Sally Hansen Insta-dri Brisk Blue and came up with this look.

One last yellow, I swear. This is the scented polish that I picked up in my last haul. It smelled so awesome, seriously I couldn't stop smelling my nails! It was a smooth application with a pleasant scent instead of the normal polish scent I'm use to.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took my nails and turned them into a bit of Wonder Bread nails. I hit them with blue, red and orange dots near the cuticles. I thought the look was playful and simple.</div>

Oh I had a very fun filled weekend! Hanging out with one of my friends, got my eyebrows threaded for the first time, and stopping into Ulta and Five Below! I just wanted to share the goodies I picked up this weekend.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y534/ichiban_nailart/IMG_0861_zps717b956e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y534/ichiban_nailart/IMG_0861_zps717b956e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hit the NYX area very hard. I have come to know and adore this line of cosmetics due to my love of watching drag queens. NYX use to sponsor Ru Paul's Drag Race a few seasons ago. If it wasn't for that show I wouldn't know about this makeup line. After getting my brows threaded, I decided to get a new eyebrow product other than the pencils I have been using.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was going to go the way of powder, but I wanted to cut my brow time down. Well I stumbled upon an eyebrow marker! I used it today, and it was so quick, clean and has lasted all day EVEN with me touching my brows...I'm hooked!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also Picked up a new waterproof soft eyeliner pencil. I wore it today with ok results. It was hot and I did sweat, and I noticed it did run a lil under my eye. I will try it again tomorrow and see how well it works. I also picked up a skinny black liner to attempt a sexy cateye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And last and probably my most looked for product is Essence nail art stampy set! I have been looking for this thing for a good five months! I finally got one with a cute stamping plate, new stamper and scraper. I can't wait to use it!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y534/ichiban_nailart/IMG_0863_zps1bcf30be.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y534/ichiban_nailart/IMG_0863_zps1bcf30be.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also picked up nine new bottles of polish from Five Below! I remember seeing their line of neons last year, but I only picked up the purples and blues. I saw the orange, greens and yellows and well scooped them up. I also got some beautiful polishes from Fresh Paint as well! I will give props to my friend for getting these for me, since I covered her brows. Great trade if you ask me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone enjoyed this short and simple haul.</div>

Oh wow, we are getting very close. I am only 5 polish colors away from doing a full year of nails! Also getting down to the wire for my wedding! I'm very nervous, excited and anxious for that day! But now we are onto polish. I will do another haul post following this one, so stay tuned! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh I love this purple. It was super super glossy when it dried. A lovely deep and creamy polish with great coverage in just two coats. I can't say enough about Pure Ice, they have totally stepped up their color selection and I am enjoying it!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did hit the polish with a matte top coat to bring out the glitter a bit more. I used Confetti's Dragonfly (limited edition release!) to add a bit of attitude to this polish. It looked amazing under standard lighting. The flash in the photo does this glitter no justice!</div>

<div style="color: #004d4e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
I had this polish lying around for some time, sitting on the shelf for a good mani. Well I was hit with inspiration from my Tokidoki calendar for the month of June. It had a mix of gray, pink and black for a color scheme. So I decided to use this semi glittery gray as a base color. </div>

<div style="color: #004d4e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
I then painted hald the nail a litght pink (Over The Rainbow also by Funky Fingers) and let that dry. After I used a fun and 80's like mixed triangle nail stamp to add more attitude to this mani. I was more than happy with the results!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my coworkers asked me to do a mani she saw online, so I tried it. I hit my nails with a white base color. Fast drying polish by Milani is the best...well all except for the price :P</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the end result! Everything was done freehand with a striper brush. I really like how to tips came out...I'm kinda sad that my anchor turned pink! I think the blue polish bled into it somehow. </div>

Hello everyone! Oh man I have had a very busy weekend! We are almost a month away from the wedding! We have booked our Honeymoon to Vegas and then Puerto Rico!!! Two weeks of fun and sleeping in! Been making some finishing touches on plans, and we are just about ready to go! Also we are getting very close to the one year mark! Well enough chit chat, onto the polish!</div>

This polish came out this year with the spring collection if I do recall. I'm not a big fan of orange (as you all should know) but this shade was really nice. Not overly bright, but not very muted. Smooth and beautiful coverage.</div>

oh, no wonder this Insta-dri polish was in a Dollar Tree, horrible coverage! The color is like a muted metallic green, and is very lack luster. A thin formula with a very weak pigment. Glad I didn't spend the usual $3-4 on a bottle, yuck this was a disappointing polish. </div>

I saw this color a few months back on one of my favorite blogs and had to go out and get it. A very beautiful nude color with a nice creamy finish and very lovely pigment. You really can't go wrong with SC polish, and this color is just beautiful. </div>

Trying out this textured polish is really turning me off from the trend. If i didn't get this set for free, I don't think I would have picked it up. I don't know, I'm just not blown away with the application and thin polish with this color. </div>

Hello neon pink! With the flash it does wash out near my cuticles, indicating that I was very light handed in those areas. But the overall look is so bright and eye popping! I'm glad neons are coming back for the warmer weather, I love wearing them!</div>

I forgot I grabbed this polish a while ago. It's so simple and such a creamy green. I stopped at three, but I think it could have used one more. Other than the polish being a bit on the thin side I enjoyed the color very much! </div>

So I forgot to take a photo of the green polish by itself (oops) But you can see it fine with Black Tie Optional over it. This is a beautiful and creamy green with a delightful white shimmer in it. I wanted to add a little more spunk to this mani, and well this combo just looks adorable.</div>

A polish from their 2013 Spring collection. Beautiful pastel blue with a smooth finish. Forgive the photo, I did not clean up my edges before taking it. I left this look plain and simple because the color was so beautiful on a bright sunny day ^_^ </div>

How could I forget how fun nail foils are?!?!? I saw this look in a magazine (I forget what one) and well I had to go for it myself. This dazzling gold stripe foil is beautiful on it's own! But I wanted to see how it looked with a glossy black polish over it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the finished look with the shimmering foil with the glossy polish over the foil. I love this half moon mani! I need to do this look with more foils! Took a steady hand, but it was totally worth it. </div>

I adore this color. It's such a light and creamy green. It almost looks like a glow in the dark green, but sadly this polish does not glow in the dark. I'm a fan of any shade of green, and this polish has slipped into my all time top five favorite shades. Great pigment, creamy and just plain beautiful!</div>

This polish looks like I dipped my nails in chocolate. This is a beautiful metallic brown with a beautiful shimmer undertone. I'm not the biggest fan of brown polishes, but this one was a little different. I like that it had the metallic look with the shimmer, just beautiful.</div>

Oh what an amazing color. This violet blue polish is just breathtaking. I've been holding off using this color for a good five months or so. But I finally caved and wore this polish, and its just as beautiful as I thought it was. I was lucky enough to go to Ulta when they had their polishes on sale for $2.00 a bottle (stocked up on a few) I really enjoy Ulta's polish, and it can take a day of work without chipping! </div>

Oh how busy I have been! Working a FT job again, getting wedding plans set into motion and traveling around New England! I am so sorry I have been away and have been doing jumbled posts. I hope you understand i do have a life outside of polish (crazy,I know!) but I still happily return to share my latest manicures with you!</div>

I have had this polish FOREVER! I finally got around to using it! Let me tell you why I waited so long to wear this well know SC polish. I was worried it would be super sheer, super thin and take 8 coats to get full coverage. Well I was surprised to see it only took 3 coats for full coverage.</div>

I'm not a big pink or orange fan, but when I get a polish with a great pigment and full coverage in 2 coats...well I can make room in my hear for it. This was part of a LE release for NYC's spring collection. I have to say they stepped up their game with this line. Fast dry, bring and beautiful with a glossy finish. A total must have color for the spring/summer time mani or pedi!</div>

I was lucky enough to find this polish on clearance from $3.99 to $1.99 in a Walgreens. I remember when this line came out last year and I wanted to try it soooo badly, but I didn't like the $4.00 price tag. Well I found every color but green for $1.99 each! Beautiful shine and metallic polish always have great coverage!</div>

I adore this color. A perfect balance of blue and purple in this gorgeous color. I found this in an LA Colors display with a mix of medium and neon polishes. I seriously can't tell you how beautiful this color is in person. If you enjoy wearing cool color polishes then this should be a great addition to your collection.</div>

They finally came in! I won a contest on Instagram a while back and never got my set of textured polishes. I contacted them and well I got them! I wanted to try the purple first to see how it turns out. I was a like on the hesitant side when I saw some of the nail drying flat with no texture, but it didn't fully dry in that area.</div>

I did 2 coats and then I hit it with a matte top coat to still get protection but not add any gloss. I'll try out more colors soon, but so far it was really cool. My only complaint is that it feels like my nails catch on my blankets a bit with the graininess of the polish. <br /><div style="color: #004d4e; font-family: Georgia,Utopia,'Palatino Linotype',Palatino,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

My what a super busy week I've had! Training, healing, sunshine, rain and a wonderful turkey dinner! Now I have a moment to sit down and post up some photos! Just a note, I am flying out of state for more training next week. I don't think I am going to post on the road with 8hr days and an unknown roomie that may or may not like nail polish. I will update when I return! I'm flying out Monday morning and returning Friday evening, so maybe an update next Saturday. But enough about work, let's get onto the polish!</div>
<br />

<div style="background-color: #ddffff; color: #004d4e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in the mood for a nice bright green, so I reached for this polish. This was part of Essence's last polish release I believe. One of the harder polishes to find around here because of the great colors and great price (I can only find it at Ulta) A smooth and creamy coverage with wonderful bright pigment.</div>

<div style="color: #004d4e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">
To make this manicure a little more unique I added an accent nail to my ring finger. I used Blue Me Away by Sally Hansen as the dark blue, and then used LA Colors Sea Foam as the light teal. I think these colors work so well together! </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was feeling a bit of a lighter and softer color, so I reached for this lovely pastel polish from Rimmel London. I love this formula! Quick drying, beautiful pigment and a smooth finish.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To add a little flair to this mani I added a coat of Quartz Of Course by Wet N' Wild. I think they work very well together with the chunky purple and silver glitters. </div>

I found this polish in a bag I borrowed from my sister, and well I kept it! A simple metallic gold polish with beautiful coverage in an easy two coats. A smooth finish and beautiful color.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added Hard Candy's Black Tie Optional over this gold to add a bit of attitude. I love this muli sized and shaped polish. It reminds me of a lot of the indie polishes that I've seen out there, without the $10 a bottle price tag. I don't think you can go wrong with this over any color!</div>

I did this mani last week after seeing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpWrrZhluF0">cutepolish</a> 's video up on youtube. I've seen this design around and gave in after seeing how damn adorable it is. I used a simple glossy black polish as a base. I'm a fan of Jordana polishes, a good formula for a good price.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used LA Colors Sea Foam as a fill in color and hit this mani with a topcoat to make these cartoon nails come to life! I really enjoyed wearing this mani! So different and fun, and kinda plays a trick on people's eyes! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to start a mani off with a deep color and use some neons to make this mani pop! This was the first time using City Color, and I have to say I did enjoy this polish. My only complaint was that the polish handle was a bit on the bulky side and was a bit odd to hold.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After my polish dried I used a bunch of neons on my nails with random splatter designs. It reminded me of Nick back in the day with a bunch of different colored slime! It was nice to bring in all these fun pops of color</div>

I have had this polish sitting around for about a year or so. I think I just forgot about it. It caught my eye and I wanted it, but I just didn't know what to do with it. So I kept it plain and simple. I got full coverage with 3 coats with a nice glitter coverage.</div>

Hello everyone! I am going to do 5 different polishes today, and then 4 tomorrow to make up all the updates I have missed. Well I had a sinus infection and bronchitis, that's why I've been sick for the past two weeks. I went and saw my old physician and they gave me the proper medication so I can finally get back to normal! A little coughing and wheezing, but less sinus pressure and no more stuffy ears. Oy, what a nightmare that was. Thank you to everyone for their well wishes, I will soon be back full swing! A side not, we are almost to 300 days of non-stop polish madness! This is crazy, getting close to a whole year of polish!</div>

I was lucky to find 4 bottles of this brand on clearance this past weekend. I was so happy with the coverage, formula and pigment. I'm glad I had a chance to grab a new company I've never tried before at an amazing price. I will keep an eye out for this brand again.</div>

Oh this is a beautiful shade of blue. I got full coverage with 3 coats. I must admit the polish did get a little thick after having it open for a bit, but I just closed it and gave it a little shake and it was fine.</div>

I added a layer of Penny For Your Thoughts from the new WNW Fastdry release. It has an orange tone to it with mixed glitters in it. Brightened the color up a bit.<br />

I have a horrible cold that I've been fighting since last week. I went to the doctors, got some meds and I'm on the way to getting better. I've been lazing around the house, napping, drinking tea and chicken broth. Today I feel better, but not 100%. I'm on my way there, but for now let us focus on the polish! Yes, I found time to paint my nails in between my naps lol.<br />

Hey everyone! This is going to be a super quick post. I've been feeling under the weather for the past few days. I caught a cold somewhere and I've been feeling very meh. I did have a chance to do my nails yesterday and today to cheer myself up a bit. I've also been enjoying naps, tea and chicken noodle soup. Please forgive me for the short update, but my bed is calling me, and I need to answer that call soon ;D </div>

A simple and very light pink. Looks nude like this, but once I started sponging the color with others it showed that it was just a very very light pink. I wanted this base color to show off an Easter/Spring manicure. I had something in mind that came out very nicely.</div>

I forgot to take a photo with just the gradient/ombre nail with my camera. If you want to see it check out my <a href="http://instagram.com/brie1284">instagram page</a> here. I sponged on different pastel colors on the the tips and then used Mash plate 45 with a flower design on all of my nails to match the pastel colors with a brighter polish. I think this looks came out beautifully and so playful!</div>

Here we have a beautiful sky blue polish. I do like Confetti polish, I just wish they released more colors to their line. I have a few limited edition glitter polishes, but have not seen anything new from them since Christmas. </div>

To add a bit of extra fun to this polish I decided to use a nail foil called Opal. This has a beautiful opal like effect over the nail. My only complaint is that you can see that it looks like a plastic overlay, even with the glue and a topcoat to seal it. I think it would beautiful in the sun, so I might give that foil one more go. I'm off to make some tea and grab that nap now!</div>

A whole week away! Sorry I was away for so long, I had a very busy weekend! I went to a gaming convention this weekend and had a blast! Played some games, saw a bunch of friends and got a lot of free stuff! Also got invited to a Garbage concert last night and had a really good time! But I'm back with some polish for you! A lot of lovely Spring time colors!</div>

This color looks more pink under the flash, but in normal lighting it looks more orange. Now this color isn't as in your face as it looks (trust me!) But it very eye catching. This is a great color for the end of Spring into Summer. I'm guessing neon colors will be back in full force again next season, and this would be a great transition color.</div>

I am loving pastel purples right now, swear it's the season. Such a calming color and gives me the feeling that Spring will be here (someday) I got this polish when Walgreens clearanced a bunch of the Hard As Nails line. I always worry about this line being on the thin side, but I have been proven wrong by a few shades I have tried. I hope they release new colors for this line, the price point is very nice and the formula (most of them) have been very nice with great coverage.</div>

Oh talking about purple, let's go to the darker side of this color for a moment. I have had my eyes on Urban ever since it came out. One day my honey and I were out and passed a display with this polish on it. He told me to stop torturing myself and get the polish. He even pointed out that I've stopped at this color for the past few weeks (aww how sweet that he knows what colors I've been adoring!!)</div>

I've held off wearing this polish until now. The only thing I did wrong was do my nails and went to bed, so the finish isn't as polished as it usually is (my fault) and don't even act like this has never happened to you!! Every girl has done this at least once in their life.</div>

To try and smooth the polish out I hit it with Sinful Colors Green Ocean. Oh I love the effect of this polish over a nice dark color. It looks so beautiful in the sunlight and would look great with an outfit out on the town. </div>

More pastel colors! Yeah, I had to try this beautiful light blue. It has a really nice white shimmer undertone to it. Sally Hansen added this color to their Xtremewear line a few months ago. This is probably my 2nd favorite line by SH other than Insta-dri. This had very nice coverage, I was worried it was going to be a bit on the thin/sheer side and would need a million coats. But it didn't, just a simple 3 coat application and I had full beautiful coverage. </div>

I normally don't like doing glitter polishes by themselves. You know why, taking a glitter polish off is a pain in the tush! But I wanted to try this beautiful green glitter polish on its own. This is with 3 coats, I could have added more to get full coverage, but it would have started getting thick on my nails. This polish would work beautifully with a green polish under it, or even as a glitter top coat. It's beautiful and bright, but not a really good choice for a stand alone color. </div>

I wanted to try this deep gunmetal polish that NYC made. I was a little disappointing by the application of this polish, It was super streaky when I applied it. I don't mind some streaks, but it was all over every coat streak-mania going on with this color. The polish is a beautiful color, but the finish takes away a clean finish for me. Very sad about that :(</div>

Ok with this mani I forgot to take a before photo, but you can still see the polish on every nail but my accent nail. I used Kiss nail dress from my Nail It! magazine. Let's start with the polish. A beautiful and creamy purple with lovely pigment and coverage. The nail dress matched my mani so well, and was easy to apply and remove. No sticky residue, no trying forever to remove it, no fuss. I really like these and might pick more up in the future! </div>

Love this color! So bright and beautiful! Great for Spring (of course) and I feel like everyone is wearing/loving mint colors right now. Great application, but I must say the polish was a little bit on the thick side, but still had a smooth finish with the help of a top coat.<br /><div style="color: #004d4e; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">

I added an orange accent nail to bring a little bit of sunshine to this manicure. These colors complimented each other so well. I was temped to add a topcoat of glitter, but held off. I thought it might take away from the colors.</div>

one last goodie! ELF's website had free shipping last week, and the limited edition Spring polish set on sale from $14 to $10.
