NYX Silver Plum

Hey guys,

So good news I woke up this morning without a headache so everyone cross your fingers that that bugger stays gone!!
Apparently I need to go to bed at 8:30 more often. Okay it was more like lying in the dark til 10:30 but still it was nice quiet time.


Today's polish issssss:

NYX - Silver Plum

This is a rather sheer colour that could definitely benefit from having a base colour underneath it.
It's different though, I don't have anything quite like this one.

NYX Snow White - Pearlized

Hey guys,

So nothing really exciting happened today, I just sat in the sun and read pretty much all day.
I am going to tell you the tale of my semi-neurotic dog though.
So Briar has always had a habit of trying to cover up her food in her dish with whatever is around... blankets/towels/her bed/dvd cases etc. Which wouldn't be as ridiculous if her dishes weren't raised up off the ground. Anyways when my mom goes to safeway she often brings Briar a "special bone" which is just a Pedigree Big Bone. Which Briar takes downstairs and licks for about 20 minutes then eats in about 3. Well today Briar decided she needed to hide her bone (which she often does, then two minutes later decides to go get it and eat it) well today she tried hiding the bone under the stairs and behind the bar and then finally she decided to hide it behind the TV. To which my words were "Briar Rose, if you electrocute yourself or unplug the TV you are in BIG trouble missy"
No sooner had the words left my mouth then the TV went out... while the PVR was taping 2 different shows... The little twerp had stepped on the button on the power bar.

Needless to say she wasn't super impressed when I had to go behind the TV and flip the switch.
In this moment her bone is still behind the TV.

Anyways so while I'm watching Once Upon a Time and this show is slowly changing the way I feel towards the character of Snow White I thought this would be appropriate.

This is NYX Snow White
with Essie Pure Pearlfection as a top coat.

Pot Of Gold Manicure

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone?

Are you wearing green? Yeah stupid question but I had more than one person ask me that before I had even gotten out of my PJ's this morning. but yes I am NOW wearing green. I couldn't find my Keep Calm and Chive On shirt (super huge sad face) so I settled on my "I'm with Beast" shirt from Disneyworld with Belle on it. I like to wear this shirt when I'm with Breezer (see below for proof... and a pic thats a few years old)

Anyways so thought I would do something fun today
Heres a list of all I used for my "Pot of Gold" Manicure

Zoya- Holly
OPI- Fresh Frog of Bel-Air
Orly- Au Champagne
Orly Nail Art- Jet Black
Orly Nail Art- Rockin Robin
Color Club- Take The Stage
Art Club- Neon Orange
Art Club- Neon Blue
Art Club- Neon Yellow
Art Club- Neon Green

Got that? haha.

China Glaze - Stone Cold

Hey guys,

So first of all seriously the fact that things need to be spelled out for men is annoying.
This was the sentence I said a couple days ago to my dad:
"I'm sick of just shopping for trucks, I want to DRIVE something"
Which he clearly took to mean "Go buy a truck without me"
I obviously meant "I'm sick of just getting to look at pretty trucks I want to test DRIVE something"
So needless to say the jerk bought a truck without letting me "kick the tires" first. Which obviously means I just stand there and go OOOOOH PRETTY.

Anyways moving on.
Yet another China Glaze Colors from the Capitol colour
Now to Chelsea who said "Uggh I'm so not feeling any of the hunger games polish colours. they're so ...blah" Okay you HAVE to like this colour. It's a shimmer matte. So a "suede"
This is

China Glaze Stone Cold.

Sorry for the sloppy line on the thumbnail. I got distracted then forgot to fix it.

Hey guys,
So work today was awesome. I seriously can't even tell you how much I'm going to miss Tracy when she goes on mat leave. Seriously? who am I going to send stupid pictures of hamsters doing silly things?
Anyways moving on
So here is my second Hunger Games manicure using the Colors from the Capitol.
Now please forgive the lack of pictures, people kept rushing me as I was doing this so I totally fudged up my thumb nail, plus all my lines are wonky.

for this I used
China Glaze Agro
China Glaze Harvest Moon
China Glaze Hook and Line
Orly Nail Art Crisp White
