Jade

Nov28

I know it’s been awhile since my last post, but a lot has happened. First my computer was acting up so I took it to get repaired, unfortunately it was beyond fixing. I thought I would have to wait to get a new one when my husband won $500 on a scratch off lottery ticket. He called to tell me to come and pick out the computer that I wanted. So now I have a new laptop and am still in the process of installing my programs on the new computer. I also am having problems with my nails splitting and peeling and have not been able to take any pictures of my polishes either. However I do have one that I did before my old computer died and since I had all my pictures saved on my external hard drive I am going to post about it.

The polish I used is one I bought at Ross, Jade a metallic by JLB Cosmetics. I found it easy to use and I like the color. I used Nail Envy Matt by OPI as a base coat, two coats of Jade by JLB Cosmetics, and a top coat of Double Duty by Sally Hansen. It wore well and I received many complements while wearing it.

Now for the pictures.

Electric Pink Sparkle

Sep10

Sometimes you just want a bright fun look. This is a layered bright sparkly look. It was easy to create and fun to wear. I used Nail Envy Matt by OPI as a base coat. Electric Pink by Revlon is the main color. I used one coat and took pictures of just that layer. Even without a top coat it was shiny dry. To get the sparkle I used a pink glitter by Cosmetic Arts. I finished the look with a top coat of Double Duty by Sally Hansen. I took a lot of pictures so you could see both with and without the glitter. This was fun to wear and I had several people tell me they liked it.

Now for the pictures:

Amethyst Ablaze by Maybelline

Sep7

Here it is Friday evening, and I’m off both jobs today. I decided to take time today for me and just took it easy. My husband is at work and my son is in the back watching a DVD. Awww, me time!!! So as I am posting I am also watching TLC and redoing my nails. Today’s post is about a mani from last week. It’s a metallic purple from Maybeline called Amethyst Ablaze. This is much a prettier polish on then it shows in the bottle, and I received many complements while wearing it. I used a base coat of Nail Envy Matt by OPI, two layers of Amethyst Abaze by Maybelline, and a top coat of Double Duty by Sally Hansen. I took several pictures so you could see how it came out.

Dakota by Julep

Sep3

I want to wish everyone a happy Labor Day, and say that I am sorry that there was no post last week. It was a very busy week with the first week of a new school year and back to working two jobs. For those that don’t know me very well I used to teach full time, but now I am a substitute teacher during the school year and also work at the local Wal-Mart nights and weekends. So next time you miss my posts you will know that life was just too hectic that week and I was too worn out to post. On the bight side I did have time to redo my nails a couple of times and take pictures.

This is another of the August polishes by Julep. Dakota is a rose gold metallic chrome that has a nice shimmer. It was easy to work with and covered in one coat. I used one coat of Nail Envy by OPI as a base coat, one coat of Dakota by Julep, and the top coat is Double Duty by Sally Hansen. I really like this color and received several complements on it. The pictures were taken a day or two later and you can see some wear and a chip on the tips of the nails.

Now for the pictures.

Snowman in August

Aug20

I was trying to decide which nail polish to use next, and came up with a lovely glitter. Snowman of My Dreams is a multi colored glitter from the Nicole collection by OPI. It is also a Holiday Polish so I guess I am continuing the theme from my daughters post last Friday, This is Halloween! Zoya Arizona. I chose it because it’s such a cool polish for such a hot time of the year. It has silver, blue, pink, yellow, green, and orange glitter that I can see (see micro shots).

I used Nail Envy Matt by OPI as my base coat, two coats of Snowman of My Dreams, and Double Duty by Sally Hansen as a top coat. If you wanted you could use a solid color under the glitter and have a nice sparkly look.

Now for the pictures:
