Long time no post

I feel as though I've totally been neglecting by blog. It's sad. I've still been photographing new polishes, but with nothing to edit with I just didn't want to post anything. Now I have a back log of loads of polish pictures. Ah.

I'm working on getting a new Photoshop loaded. I'm just waiting on my brother to do it. I've been asking him for a while, but he just doesn't feel like doing it I suppose.

Anyhow, look out for some polish posts very very soon!

New posts coming

Just thought I would give you all a heads up on what some up-coming posts will be. I'm sorry for the lack of posting, but I don't have Photoshop on the new computer yet so I haven't been able to edit any pictures.

But look forward to seeing some of the NEW Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure polishes, and some Zebra nail art.

Thanks lovelies!

Bama Bound

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.

I spent a lot of time in the car yesterday in a 300 mile trek to Birmingham, Alabama. I went to see my USC Gamecocks take on UCONN at the PapaJohn.com Bowl. Wow what a ride. Not a lot to look at in Bama that's for sure. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot to look at on the football field either. The Gamecocks lost 20 to 7. Scoring their lone TD in the final minutes. It was a pathetic excuse for a game on our part. I froze my arse off in the 30 degree temps. Over 30,000 plus Gamecocks showed up and packed Legion Stadium only to be disappointed by our team. Did they care? I don't think so. Did they want it? Not really.

UCONN ate us up. Congrats to them for an incredibly well played game. Well deserved win on their part. They cared, and they were ready.

I must say I was only a little upset about the loss initially. You saw it coming within the first couple plays of the game. But, when I hear stories about our players getting drunk on their first night in Birmingham and saying I don't give a shit about this game and the rest of you shouldn't either, it made my blood boil. I traveled 600 miles overall, and you bastards didn't care! You deserve a good ass kicking. Too many dropped balls, awful play calling, I mean geezz. Don't blame the cold either, because those UCONN boys were out there without sleeves catching everything thrown at them. I know Steve Spurrier isn't the best coach out there when it comes to believing in his players and standing behind them, but don't play hard for him, play hard for the fans who do believe in you. If I keep hearing about this not giving a shit attitude then I certainly won't be giving my money to watch you boys play again. If you don't give a shit why are you there, and why should I watch you play?

Anyway, I enjoyed my trip to Alabama to an extent because I had never been there. However this post will never begin to show the anger I have about this piss poor football game. I'm a Gamecock through and through, and damn it we deserved better than that!

Ok on to some pictures.My mani was Ruby Pumps on all fingers and Goth on my ring finger with USC decals.

Thanks for reading. Beauty posts coming soon!

Happy Post Holiday...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was great.

I'm blogging from my brand new laptop. I was so surprised I got one. However today I had a little problem. The keyboard stopped working for no reason. I restarted the laptop and it never restarted so I had to do 2 cold shut downs just to get it to turn on again. Needless to say I'm a bit worried now. Ugh. Anyone ever have this problem?

Anyhow I'm going to shower you with some Christmas pictures now. Ok not some how about a lot!

This was the day after Christmas. It was freezing and my dog Dixie and I had to watch our Dad climb on the roof.

Dixie. ♥

Such a fun Christmas. I unexpectedly racked up. So much not pictured. My boyfriend got me a Garmin GPS. Ahhh. So happy. Thanks family!

I have so much more to photograph. You will see it in due time.

I'm going to Alabama this Saturday for the PapaJohns.com Bowl game. My Gamecocks will be taking on Connecticut. I'm very excited. I've never been to Bama before. It's a 5 hour drive. Fun.

I'll also have the joy of getting an eye exam while I'm still at home next week. Think I need glasses. Oh joy.

That's all for now lovelies. Enjoy your day!

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.

Thanks for reading!!

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!
