Swatch SPAM!!!

The polishes you are about to view were in no way harmed during this swatching session, the majority of them were, however, were purchased on sale. Pwah ha ha ha ha 

First up is Sally Hansen HD in Hi-Def.  This was three coats, no topcoat and was uber sheer.  

The next swatch is SH InstaDri in Silver Sweep. This metallic beautiful color was only ONE coat.  I heard  read somewhere that the InstaDri polishes were super too stamp with so of course I had to try, and it worked like a charm.  unfortunately I didn't have any camera near me. UGH! but don't feel bad, I didn't do a whole mani or anything. 

Color Me Purple

Well, I have been in a hair rut for a little while.
I finally took down the loc style that I had and have been having to deal with a lot of "blah" with my hair.
So I thought i would try my hand with blowing it out and flat ironing it...
And with no avail, this was the result.

I was able to enjoy straight hair for all of five minutes.. my hair just wouldn't cooperate and so i took down the high pony bun and then it looked like : (pic below) 

So I was SOOO over this non-straight but flat hair so I decided that I would color my hair.. What color to chose? I eventually went with Jet black from dark & Lovely 

and this uber bright purple from Splat called "Lusty Lavender"

but unfortunately it didn't go the way I wanted.  The purple looks more like burgundy. UGH!! so today i will be doing bantu knots in my hair.. hopefully I will have NICE pictures to share... and I can finally come out of this stupid hair rut! 

Oh I forgot to mention that my hair wasn't looking pretty so I CUT and AMPLE amount off.  Plus it has been breaking. so, yeah.. I'm really not happy with it.. and I can't wait to get a style with weave. OH EM GEE!!!!

Have you ever had a bad hair week?? 

I know I'm not the only person!!

Sadly that picture was the only decent picutre that i was able to take while trying to dry my nails whilst holding my Nikon D3100, which, btw, isn't the smallest of cameras.  So.. I finally did an OMBRE mani. and I absolutely LOVED it.  My sis liked it soo much that she wants me to do the same thing to her.. :)
Though many people who I've seen do the ombre manis go through hell and high water just trying to find polishes that are very close together.. i actually didn't do that. In fact, i only used one colored polish which is Sally hansen Complet Salon Manicure in "Thinking of Blue" and I used China Glaze "White on White". 
For this mani, I also used a paper plate and a toothpick to mix my colors. 
On the pinky is Thinking of blue in it's truest tone.. meaning it was unmixed.
Then on the ring finger, I added one drop of white. On the middle finger I added two drops of white.. so on and so forth.  I sat the little trick over at Seventeen and was super anxious to try it and i'm glad to say that it worked
If you try it let me know :) I would love to see how yours looks.

Until next time...
BEAT THAT POLISH!!!

This post features the beautiful "Barefoot in Barcelona" by O.P.I.

My sister and niece both fell in love with this color and are wearing it as i type. :)

Colorful colors. o.0 :)

I wore this mani a couple of weeks ago for only about two days....
It was very pretty, but I was so over the colors after I got inspired to do my next post.
I have't posted in a while.. so I'm trying my hardest to dish them out RIGHT NOW!! lol.

I'm not sure I remember the colors correctly, so I won't even try..

I'm kinda back!!! Haul Time!!!

So I Know it's been a while and I hated to have ben gone sooo longggg but I'm back!!
Even though I do not have my precious laptop back, I found a way to make this work so hopefully I can keep it up.



First up.. my haul!
This is a collective haul, minus a few things. 
Some things that aren't shown are the fimo sticks and the new bundle monster plates that I purchased.. I just didnt take pictures and wantd to get this post up as quickly as possible. 
So this post brings me at a whopping 451 nail polishes.. I have my polishes written down on paper.. and I even have nail wheels with the swatches of the colors minus the ones that have broken off.. which is just about 2.  so yeah.. I'm going to hopefully get a list of my collection for everyone to see....

Bah hum bug..

onto the haul photos.

Did I forget??

Heyyy!!!
I k ow I haven't posted in a LONNGGGG time and I haven't forgotten about my love of polish. It's just that my laptop with all my pictures and pr written blogs has been checked out.  It was overheating terribly so I had to send it in to the insurance company.  Hopefully whn I get my baby back sh will be all better.  I'm currently borrowing a laptop just so I can still get my online coursework done without any excuses.  I have a couple of hauls.. and one or two designs that I have worn.  Nothing major.  And Aloha to all my new friends. :)

Any who..  I may try and re take some pics and re write a haul blog between today and tomorrow. We'll see.   Have a great day you guys! :)


Polish away!!!!
