Nail Inspiration

Random nail inspiration from WAH Nails

They do some fun stuff so check them out!

Here is the inspiration.

Here are my nails. I used CC Laser Pink and Volt of Light.

Goodnight!

Absolutely Royal...

I finally wore the this amazing polish on my boyfriend's 27th Birthday yesterday.(It was also one of our dog's Birthday as well. Penny is 4!) I'm still wearing it. It's so beautiful. What am I talking about? Royal Navy by Orly.

I originally picked this up at Ulta with my Daddy. He thought it was cool. So if my Daddy thinks it's cool then it really must be!

It's a beautiful blue shade with aqua sparkle. I used two coats in the following photos, with Orly's Bonder as a base, and In a Snap top coat.

Enjoy the pretty!

Until later xoxo!

Think Queen...We Are the Champions!

A week ago today my South Carolina Gamecock baseball team would be preparing to play their second game of the CWS Championship series against UCLA.

All of us kept thinking would it be amazing if we won this thing. Nearing midnight in the bottom of the 11th inning. Whit Merrifield got the winning hit scoring my buddy Scott Wingo and we WON!

We are the 2010 CWS National Champions!!!

This is the first major Championship for my University. And I still get chills thinking about it.

The team came back from Omaha on (last) Wednesday and we welcomed them home. Thursday the Governor declared it Gamecock Baseball National Champions Day. Friday the city of Columbia held a parade in their honor. The team received the Key to the City. The Mayor also declared it Ray Tanner and Gamecock Baseball Day. (I stood behind the team during the presentation after the parade.)

This has been so surreal and amazing. I'm so proud of my team/friends. Congratulations guys! GO COCKS!

(I also love that now my entire summer wardrobe will be National Championship apparel =D)

If you want to see my videos from the celebrations check out my YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/MissKatieisLove

It's official. I'm in love with Summer.

Lack up polish updates yet again. I tell you I've been staying kind of neutral lately. I've been at lots of baseball games and it's just easier that way. Less maintenance.
So this post will consist of a Life update. (my first Nuf Oh polishes and Baseball. Oh and my 24th Birthday and a Daughtry concert. Haha. Lots of stuff happening this past week...)
I'm so pleased with my flakies. I can't wait to have more.Now on to baseball. College baseball. If you don't know already I'm a University of South Carolina (USC) alumni. Thus I pull for my Gamecocks, and have been doing so since birth. The boys ended the regular season on a tough note and didn't show well in the SEC tourney. They just couldn't get the bats going.

Thank goodness we got a Regional. I spent three days, June 4-6, sitting behind home plate watching my favorite team kick butt. It was fantastic. Not only that but my friend/player told me they were going to win that Sunday game for me so I could celebrate my birthday on Monday June 7 with happiness. He was true to his word and even hit a 3 run homer that night. Hehe. Here are a few pictures from Regional weekend.

My old college roommate! I love her!

Scott and I (USC 2nd baseman #8)

So on my 24th Birthday. I found out that the Gamecocks would be playing at Coastal Carolina for the Super Regional. I was pumped and ready to be there. Tickets went on sale at Coastal the day of my birthday and would be on sale to the general public on Tuesday. So I went on with my birthday as planned.
I went home with my boyfriend and went out to dinner with my family and best friend. My boyfriend had already gotten me a beautiful birthday cake so my Mom decided to to a playful cake and got me a My Little Pony cake. It was quite funny. Dinner and family time was wonderful and my birthday went off without a hitch. Whoa I can't believe I'm 24 haha.
Peep the Birthday fun:Well, Tuesday the day after my birthday was a bit crazed. I was going to see Daughtry, Lifehouse and Cavo that night via my birthday present from the boyfriend. But my mind was on getting baseball tickets to the Super Regional. Coastal was pulling some mess with the tickets and only allowing walk ups in Myrtle Beach to get the tickets (no limit) They weren't going to put tickets up to the general public until 5pm online. Well guess what? Those tickets sold out way before that. The box office in Myrtle Beach wouldn't even answer the phones for ticket orders that day either! I was beyond pissed. I've gone to every Super we've been a part of since 2000! News outlets and our Head Coach showed they were displeased with the way ticketing was done. Some calling it a scam etc. Needless to say I was sad and angry over the whole thing. But the show must go on and my boyfriend were off to see Daughtry. The show was amazing. I even met the opening band, Cavo.

Now on to baseball again. I wasn't in Myrtle Beach, but I watched my boys bust their arse's and win two days in a row in 100 plus degree heat. We made it to OMAHA!!! Amazing.

The team came back from Myrtle Beach late Sunday night. (1 am so technically Monday.) And my boyfriend and I went to welcome them back at the Stadium.

So here's the video I took. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcOsY0MSbh0
And this is my friend Scott Wingo and I. He's our 2nd baseman. (He also made SportCenter's Top 10 plays on Saturday. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5281715 ) Anyway we went to Rival high schools back home, but both of us are Gamecocks. Haha.

Ok, that's all I've got. Hope you enjoyed all the pictures and my ramble!

I'm sorry, but the position of annoying talking animal has already been taken...

Are you ready for a little more Shrek in your life? I'm a huge Shrek fan, and I must admit when I saw the OPI Shrek collection I giggled with glee. Granted that's not the only Shrek collectible you will see in this post. I've got a toy and a few glasses to showcase too. Haha.

I picked up OPI's What's With the Cattitude, Ogre the Top Blue, and Funky Dunkey. (Donkey is my favorite character.) I'm currently wearing Ogre the Top Blue on my nails. It went on fabulously in 2 coats. I'm wearing What's With the Cattitude on my toes. It was 3 coats.

So peep some of the the pretty.


And there you have it. Have a happy Shrek day!

Pink with some Sparkle...

I was messing around with a load of my unused polish the other day and tried a few different things to see what I was in the mood for. Everything seemed like it was missing something. And I won't lie the mani I'm about to show you didn't last on my nails that long. Mainly because I had to do things and banged them around before they were completely dry. The dents and crinkly smudges weren't pretty. Then I was just over it. Haha.

This mani was so pretty. It has a sparkly antique pink vibe. I used CG's IV (2 coats) and a coat of LA Splash in Pink Dream.

Peep the pretty.

My next post will be Shrek themed I'm thinking. I've picked up 3 of the OPI polishes and I love them. I'm wearing What's with the Cattitude on my toes and Ogre the Top Blue on my nails right now. So stay tuned...

Goodnight.
