Through the Grapevine + Matte Me Crazy

Hi all! I decided to try something a little different for tonight's post. My main color was Through the Grapevine by Wet n Wild from the Megalast line. I have used this color before, and it is one I really love.

These are the nail polishes I used for tonight's look.

Lexington Lilac, Through the Grapevine, Pink Bling, Matte Me Crazy

SinfulColors: Peppered Amazon

Hi all! Tonight I wanted something on the brighter side, not a fall shade, so I went with a color I've only used once, Peppered Amazon by SinfulColors.

Peppered Amazon is a Shamrock green with silver shimmer. I used two coats in the picture below.

Pit Bull Awareness Day!

Hi all! I have a something new for you. Today is Pit Bull Awareness Day. It is a day to appreciate the dogs who are a part of our family! I decided to try nail art for the occasion.

Here is the final result.

Wet n Wild: Wild Shine Summer Festival Collection - Gyp-Sea Green

Hi all! I have something for you tonight. Wet n Wild released a limited edition collection, Wild Shine Summer Festival. I'd already used Spitfire and Ferris-Wheel Romance, and tonight I decided to use Gyp-Sea Green.

Gyp-Sea Green is a mountain meadow/keppel jelly.

Wet n Wild Fast Dry: Buffy the Violet Slayer

Hi all! I have a something new for you. A while back, I bought a Wet n Wild Fast Dry color, Buffy the Violet Slayer. I have loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a very, very long time, and I had to have this nail polish.

Buffy the Violet Slayer is a purple/violet shade with (micro?)shimmer. I thought it appropriate to add the "B" from the BtVS logo using French White Creme from the Wet n Wild Wild Shine line. It's so far to the left because I thought I wouldn't have enough room...lol.

UCLA Football Nail Art

Hi all! I have some new nail art for you today! I'd been wanting to try UCLA nail art for some time now, but I was a little intimidated. I finally got around to it today, since we played -and beat- Cal today! (I went to ONE football game when I was a student. I cared more about soccer back then.) Well, I started last night and I almost gave up, but the idea of giving up was far worse than trying and getting it wrong.

This is the final result. It's not too terrible, right?

I used the following colors for my UCLA nail art.

SinfulColors Twilight Twinkles and Let's Meet
NYC Quick Dry Crown Gold
NYC Long Wearing Enamel Boat Basin
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Cinnamon
Wet n Wild French White Creme.

FingerPaints: Are You Gogh-ing My Way?

Hi all! I have a new post for you today. I took a little trip to Sally Beauty today to see if they had any good nail polishes on clearance, but I saw nothing that piqued my interest. However, I did take a look at the FingerPaints display and I fell in love with Are You Gogh-ing My Way? by FingerPaints.

It was Monet Money again. I had to have it, since I LOVE Vincent van Gogh. I've loved his art since the 4th grade, and his tragic life story always struck me. I've been watching Doctor Who for a while now and one of my favorite episodes is Vincent and the Doctor. (I liked Amy in this episode, though I'm generally NOT a fan.) Anyway, I saw this color and it seemed to be a perfect fall shade.

Are You Gogh-ing My Way? is a lovely China rose creme. I used two coats.

SinfulColors Under 18 + Wet n Wild Black Creme

Hi all! I have another post for you tonight. I decided to use SinfulColors Under 18, which I first swatched a couple weeks ago. I acquired this red-orange shimmery polish during one of Walgreens SinfulColors sale. I feel like I keep stumbling upon colors I haven't seen before, which is why I always buy in twos or threes when there's a sale.

Here is Under 18 once again. My nails are a bit shorter than the last time I used it.

SinfulColors: Gold Medal

Hi all! I have a new post for you today. I convinced Chris that I needed to go to Walgreens (SinfulColors sale!), and I treated myself to a new color, SinfulColors Gold Medal.

Gold Medal is a soft gold metallic polish. It is part of Mirror Metallics 2013 Collection.

Milani #1 Hottest Pink + Wet n Wild Black Creme Nail Art

Hi all! I have a new post for you today. I used another untried, #1 Hottest Pink from Milani, which I combined with Black Creme from the Wild Shine line by Wet n Wild.

Here is #1 Hottest Pink by itself. It is a bright pink with microshimmer.

The formula for #1 Hottest Pink was a little difficult to work with. It was very runny, runnier than I expected, so I continually flooded my cuticles. It was a little sheer after one coat, so I applied a second. I liked the brush, which was thin and long. Normally, a brush like this gives me better control, but since the polish was so runny, I had a slightly harder time.

SinfulColors: Why Not

Hi all! I have a new post for you tonight. I've been a little busy, plus I get tired really early, and I get cranky if I don't get to bed by a certain time. I feel like an old woman.

I decided to try an untried color tonight, SinfulColors Why Not, a cyan creme.

Mani Monday

Hi all! I have something new for you today! I decided that I will try new nail art quite regularly, especially with nail polish I don't use very often. Tonight, I decided to go with two unused colors, Caught with My Khakis Down from Sephora by OPI, and Pink Promenade Creme by New York Color.

I started off with Caught with My Khakis Down, which is apparently a khaki green creme. I swear, I thought it looked like gray. Seriously, I had it stashed with the other gray in my collection, NYC Sidewalkers. Chris also thought it was gray. I bought this when I went a little crazy in Kansas City.

FingerPaints Nail Art: Masked Beauty + Queen for a Night

Hi all! I have a new post for you, and I did some nail art! This time it's just regular (is there such a thing?) nail art, and not sports-related.

I'd been itching to try something with the FingerPaints Masquerade Affair collection. I hadn't had a chance to use it, but tonight was the night.

Nina Ultra Pro: Mariachi

Hi all! I have a new post for you. Considering that today is October 3rd, I had to honor this special day by wearing pink, even though it's not Wednesday.

I chose Nina Ultra Pro Mariachi, a folly-colored jelly. I've only used this polish once, when I did the post on my manicure routine a couple months ago. It is really bright, and I think it flatters my skin tone. Not gonna lie, I bought this because of the name. I'm Mexican and I love mariachi music! I used 2 coats in the picture.

Revlon ColorStay: Fall Mood

Hi all! I have a new swatch for you, Fall Mood from Revlon's ColorStay line. The line has been discontinued (and replaced with the Gel Envy line), and I picked this one up when Target had them on clearance.

Here is Fall Mood, a copper-bronze-gold shade with a metallic foil finish and tiny little silver flecks.
