New York Color: Sweet Melon (Summer 2014 City Samba Collection)

Hi all! Time to celebrate, because it's Friday! I do work tomorrow, but Chris and I are going to a meeting at Sporting Park for the members of the Cauldron right after I get out. I'm really excited, because I love Sporting and because it'll be a chance for me to be social!

On a recent trip to my local Dollar Tree, I found something I had looked for, but never found. I stumbled upon Sweet Melon from New York Color's limited edition summer collection. (I also found Copabanana and Jacaranda Flower, but I'll try those another time).

Sweet Melon is an orange-peachy color with a microshimmer finish. I used 2 coats in the photo below.

SinfunColors: Feel the Vibe

Hi all! I hope your week has been going well. The weather in Kansas has been gorgeous since the weekend. It's been in the 50s and 60s, and we've enjoyed some time outside with the girls. It was very nice to be able to play with them again, throwing their ball/frisbee and watch them go crazy with excitement/happiness. (It's also very nice having tired dogs ;) )

I have a bright color, an orange cream (though a little part of me thinks it's very crelly-like). It's more of a spring/summer shade for me, but with the weather so nice and the sun actually making an appearance, I had to go with something more vivid.

Red Jelly Sandwich

Hi all! Happy Sunday! We didn't watch football today, since the Cowboys were knocked out last week, so we had a mini 24 marathon. It's one of my favorite shows ever, and I was finally able to convince Chris to continue watching Day 3.

Today, I went with a jelly sandwich using SinfulColors Ruby Ruby and NYC Pink Bling. Here is the final result.

SinfulColors Endless Blue + NYC Tribeca Silver

Hi all! Sorry I've been away for a few days. I had a long week and didn't really have a chance to have some polish fun, but I am back! I have here what is supposed to be simple nail art, but it's not my best work.

I used Endless Blue and Tribeca Silver for this look. Here is the final result.

FingerPaints Monet Money + SinfulColors All About You

Hi all! I hope your week is off to a good start. My Monday was just like everyone else's - back to work (I don't normally work on Mondays). I was looking forward to doing my nails tonight. I've gotten into the bad habit of not wearing a top coat sometimes, so Pleasure Pier didn't last all that long (even though it's supposed to be Megalast, but don't get me started). I had no idea what to do, but I finally settled on Monet Money, which I've only used once.

Here is the final result, 2 coats of Monet Money, followed by one coat of Sinful's All About You.

Wet n Wild: Halloween 2014 Limited Ediction Collection: Pleasure Pier

Hi all! Happy Sunday! Chris is nervous as he watches his beloved Cowboys against the Packers. Apparently, the Packers are the favorites. Well, I'm hoping for the best, but I'll be ready to comfort Chris if things don't go their way.

I have Pleasure Pier, an electric blue shimmer, from Wet n Wild's Halloween Collection. It doesn't really strike me as a Halloween color. When I think of that day, colors like black, orange, red, yellow, and brown come to mind. I used 2 coats in the picture below.

China Glaze: Boundary of Memory (The Giver Collection)

Hi all! I hope you are all having a good weekend so far! Chris and I spent the day relaxing, and we did make a grocery run. Now he's playing Destiny. I love playing, and I love watching him play almost as much. He's so good, and always knows what he's doing. I, on the other hand, am still learning.

On to polish! Tonight, I have for you Boundary of Memory from the China Glaze The Giver Collection. I got it on clearance when I last went to Sally Beauty, and it is a stunner! Boundary of Memory is a clear base packed with black, silver, and gold glitter.

FingerPaints: Wanna Gogh Dance?

Hi all! Ready for this week to be over? I am! It's been crazy cold in Kansas, and I am looking forward very much to some snugglin'! Even though I complain about the cold, I've been crazy enough to go for runs in the below-freezing weather. It's been tough, but far easier than running on a treadmill at the gym. I hate the treadmill. It's totally a mental thing.

Anyway, on to fun stuff! I have Wanna Gogh Dance? for you tonight, a metallic light dusty purple color.

Wet n Wild: Halloween 2014 Limited Edition Collection: Roadwork

Hi all! Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all having a good week so far. I typically have Monday off, so Tuesday is always my first day back to work. Not too bad, because I get to spend more time with Chris and my girls, even though Chris and I are fighting over the PS4. Just kidding (no, but seriously, we take turns lol).

I have a new color for you for you tonight. I have Roadwork, a dark metallic gray from Wet Wild's 2014 Halloween Collection. I used 2 coats in the photo below.

Spoiled by Wet n Wild: My Silicone Popped

Hi all! Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a good start. Today I have another pink color for you. My Silicone Popped from Wet n Wild's Spoiled line (CVS exclusive) is a shiny Congo pink/salmon creme.

Side by Side: SinfulColors Vacation Time + Wet n Wild Casting Call

Hi all! Happy Sunday! Did we all enjoy the exciting football playoffs? Chris and I just finished watching the Cowboys, and it was a stressful game, particularly at the beginning. I'd suggested going to the bar, but he decided to stay home because they lost the last time we went to a local bar. Superstitious. Go Cowboys!

Anyway, on to poliiishhh! I decided to compare 2 polishes that looked very similar in the bottle, Vacation Time from SinfulColors and Casting Call from Wet n Wild's Wild Shine line.

China Glaze: Shower Together

Hi all! Happy New Year!! I really hope everyone had a great time celebrating the arrival of 2015 with friends. We didn't go out, so it was a quiet one for us. I did get to play Destiny!

I tried out my third China Glaze polish tonight, Shower Together. It is celadon/peacock blue, and just a gorgeous creme.
