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.

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.

Dallas Cowboys Nail Art, Part II

Hi all! I decided to try Cowboys nail art once again, since today is their last game of the regular season...and I wanted to surprise Chris with it.

Here is the final result.

SinfulColors: Black on Black + All About You

Hi all! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families! Chris and I didn't get to do much since he worked, so we're saving our turkey for Sunday. A little late, but we'll get to have our Thanksgiving meal.

I have a new post for you tonight. I decided to go with black and gold again. I've been using Wet n Wild's Black Creme recently, especially since it is very shiny. For tonight's manicure, I used SinfulColors Black on Black on Black, followed by All About You.

Here is the final result.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SinfulColors Haul

Hi all! It's been a little while since I last posted - I apologize. I have a few new swatches, thanks to the sale at Walgreens. SinfulColors polishes were half off -normally $1.99, sale $0.99. I was able to find a few colors that screamed my name, and I am really pleased with them.

First up is Tokyo Pearl, a white polish with a frosty finish. I used three coats in the picture below.

New Haul: So Maybe I went a little crazy

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted the last couple of days. As I last mentioned, Chris is sick, and I've been babying him A LOT. I cooked caldo de pollo for him, a Mexican version of chicken soup - which is my favorite thing when it's cold or I'm sick.

Anyway, we went on a little trip to Kansas City today because there's no Kmart or Big Lots in Lawrence. I went a little crazy and bought a few things.

Sporting Kansas City + Nail Art, Again

Hi all! I didn't get to rock my Cowboys nail art very long. There was another autograph session with Sporting KC players. This time it was with Graham Zusi (USMNT, #19; SKC, #8) and Toni Dovale (#9). It took place in Kansas City once again, at a Price Shopper.

I forgot this was happening, until Chris reminded me a few hours before we were supposed to leave. I had to shower, get ready, AND do my Sporting KC and US nail art! Needless to say, it was a rushed morning/early afternoon.

It was a mani under pressure. I didn't have the time to make mistakes, so I had to be very careful. It actually turned out well. I didn't get a picture of the whole manicure, and in case you haven't seen it, this is what it looks like.

The only difference was that instead of a 5, I had a 19, and I had a 9 on my thumb.

Dallas Cowboys Nail Art

Hey guys! I have a new mani for you! I tried something new last night, and I wasn't too pleased with the way it turned out. I thought about changing it, but since it started peeling off, I had to. I blame this on my Nina Ultra Pro Super Dry Top Coat, and I will review it soon.

I'd been wanting to try Dallas Cowboys nail art for a while, since Chris is a massive fan. I decided to try it tonight and I am quite proud of the way it turned out. Here is how I did it.

I used three colors: NYC Quick Dry Tribeca Silver, Wet n Wild French White Creme, and Sinful Colors New Wave.

After applying my base coat, I painted my nails with my base colors.

Sporting Kansas City Meets Nail Art: Part II

My nails were done, so Chris and I went off to the autograph session with Matt Besler from 3-4pm. Turns out that we were only 2 of 8 people who picked up passes, so we got to cut to the front of the line. We started chatting with the people who were already there, and everyone was excited. At exactly 3pm, we got to go inside the Sprint store to meet Matt.

I approached Matt and said, "I'm fairly certain you've never been asked this, but can you sign my nail?" He looked a little surprised, but he agreed. He said, "I've never signed a nail before. They look really good!" Then he signed a small card for me as well.

Sporting Kansas City Meets Nail Art: Part I

Hi all! It's been a few days since my last post. Chris and I got a little busy with another DIY pet project and it's almost over!

Okay, so let me start at the beginning. Chris and I picked up tickets for an autograph session with Matt Besler (USMNT and Sporting Kansas City defender, #5) on Tuesday. I knew that I would have to have some nail art to mark the occasion, so this is what I did.

To start off, these are the colors I used.

NYC Boat Basin, WnW French White Creme, SinfulColors Ruby Ruby, Bright Lucite, and New Wave

I applied my base colors and added one coat of Nina Ultra Pro Super Dry Top Coat because it dries very quickly.
