Sparkle In The Sky

I popped into Sally's yesterday to renew my card. I hadn't been keeping up with the Finger Paints collections as of late. I saw the Enchanted Winter display, and had to grab a couple.

I decided that I had to use Sparkle In The Sky last night. It was so gorgeous in the bottle. I wasn't aware that it was textured polish. (See I told you I haven't been keeping up with things. Haha.) It's the kind of texture I like, not overly gross and gritty like some I've tried. It has a good formula and went on with 2 easy coats and dry time is fairly quick since its a textured polish. I used one coat of top coat in the photos. It still has the texture effect with just a tad more shine.

I'm in love with this polish . It's a deep navy with various pink, green and gold sparkle. The sparkle really is something else. It also reminded me of one of my favorite Vincent van Gogh paintings, Starry Night Over The Rhone 1888. If I could bottle this painting this is what it would look like. That made my soul happy. It really is the little things sometimes.

Circus Peanuts

Hello there! Sporadic posting. I'm so good at that.

I'm still frequently polishing. My new love, Corals! I'm wearing Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Coral Reef on my toes, and I love it.

I just painted my tips with Finger Paints new release Circus Peanuts. I got this for the name alone. I've loved circus peanut candy my entire life. (Weird to some I'm sure. Hehe.)

My camera couldn't quite capture the exact color of this polish. It looks more orange than pink in real life. I used 2 coats. No real application problems to speak of. Hopefully I'll get some longevity out of this mani since I have a busy rest of the week.

Are you digging Corals? I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of coral shorts still. Hopefully I'll have some success soon.

My 100th Post!

Well, this marks my 100th post. I'm so happy. A big thank you to my followers. I appreciate you so much!

And with that I want to wish you all a very happy holidays! I've been in the kitchen today baking away. Lots of Christmas cookies for the family and boyfriend. Gingerbread with homemade cream cheese icing, and oatmeal raisin for my Dad. He's been asking for them every time I talk to him. Hehe. Cookies are my major Christmas contribution.

I went to Sally's today and picked up Finger Paints Sparkling Snow via a recommendation by Aurora Nail's http://aurorasnails.blogspot.com/
She said it was awesome and it is! Thanks for helping finally make the decision to pick it up.

I also got another Matte Magic because they are in the discount bin for $2.99. Check that out. And Nina's Ultra Pro Purple X-ing.

I've got a new pedicure to post that is more Christmas themed. Yay. I took the picture while it was still drying. So excuse the no clean up.

I alternated CG's Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle. Then I tipped the big piggies with FP's Sparkling Snow.

Meghan McCain is sporting a very similar pedicure as she posted this picture via twitter:

Well, that's all for now.

Happy Holiday nails...

For about a week I had been thinking about what kind of holiday manicure I wanted to do. I figured I would do white nails with the ring finger polished red and red tips on the white. I found that my I'm way to impatient to do this. Plus my white just wasn't working for me. haha.

So I did the next best thing. I did a snow inspired manicure. We don't get much snow here in the south and if it does its a slushy, icy mess. (However I'm hearing when I go home for Christmas there might be snow. Go figure.)

So here is what I did. I put on my Seche base then two coats of CG's Heaven. Then 1 coat of Finger Paints Private Collection. Then on top of that 1 coat of CG's Glacier. The a Seche top coat. It actually looks pretty and snow like. My camera can't quite capture the sparkle or prettiness of it. Grrr...

Here it is.

I also did a pedicure inspired by Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph. Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold hehe. I used 2 coats of FP's Private Collection and then 2 coats of CG's Medallion. Is so darn sparkly!

I think this is the first time I've shown my feet on here. Haha. I love my feet. Weird I know...

Don't mind the scratch on my foot. The pup stepped on it after I cut her nails. Oops.

Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays!

A mini haul...

Wow, I forgot I needed to post some pics from a polish haul I had over a week ago as well as a darling necklace I got.

I used my pup to help model the lovely polishes. So here we go. (He's wearing his favorite jacket.)

I picked up some Seche top coat, CG's Medallion, and Tinsel, and Finger Paints Private Collection. Lovely! I've been wearing the Tinsel for my past two mani's. I love it. I'll have pictures of that eventually.

Now for my necklace. It's by a California based company called Dogeared. They used recycled materials to create their jewelry and packaging. I picked the piece called Love Heals. I loved the meaning behind it. It's very me. A symbolic memorial type piece for myself if you will. Check it out, and check out their website.

Later lovelies!
