Nail Art Overload!! [Picture Heavy]

Okay, so I've been dealing with some personal things and had to take a break from my blog... for a year or so. Yeah, I know -_-

Anywho... I have still been taking care to maintain my nails however I haven't been able to keep track of all of my pictures =(

Day 13: Cheer Yourself Up Mani

Tweet
I'm not going to even begin to talk about my absence lol. So let's just get into it. I saw the mani challenge for today and thought AWESOME!! ...Now what am I going to do? LOL A lot of things cheer me up and and I'm like all over the place... So wait, what's the problem? Why shouldn't my nails be?! That is the challenge after all right? SO my mani is bright, bold colors, sparkles, glitter, and rainbows!! YAY me! LOL

Starting and ending foundation =)

Rainbow Nail

Other 9 funky fun nails lol

Then this. I'm just lost.

First off my nails were in horrid shape before hand... My pinky nail just broke off while I was removing the polish... My thumb has been like this for weeks. I think it happened when I was making a bow... Glue gun on the nail might do that to you lol

IDK what happened!! =(

Since I had been neglecting my poor nails and I previously used Plum Luck, I decided to give them a good cleaning, ie a brightening and strengthening bath with Peroxide and Baking Soda. It works girls!! It takes no time in comparison to the time we actually take on our manis.

1 tbsp of peroxide, 2.5 tbsp of baking soda, mix and let it set for a min, put the paste on each nail and let sit for 5mins

 After I rinsed, I added in a cup of hot water, stirred and let my nails soak for about a minute to soften my cuticles and give them a little extra oomph!! =) Definitely recommend giving it a try!

No rainbow nail (which I kinda like) no top coat

Rainbow nail. Decided to wing it. Eff the tape!! LOL

 I hope you like it! I'll be doing an Avon First Impression and look soon! MUAH!!

Don't forget your Karma Kiss for the day!!

What I'm Wearing

Tweet
I've bee so busy lately but I haven't  forgotten about you, I promise! Here is a collage of the colors I've been wearing as of late.

L2R: Stolen Kisses with flash, One Big Happy Fame-ily with flash, One Big Happy Fame-ily without flash, & lastly Respect the World feat. Oscar without flash.

Stolen Kisses is actually one of my fave polishes [a magenta red] but unfortunately it's a struggle to get one because my daughter split most of it last year and I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere =( Oh, I had been wearing this for a week and half before I took the pic, you can see my edges the tiniest of bits but no chips =)

One Big Happy Fame-ily is the latest of my polish from the KKolor II series, I definitely will be going back for more. I really like this soft yet vibrant lilac with it's silver shimmers. So yummy!

Respect the World and I have a apathetic love relationship, lol. Sometimes I look at it and adore it and then most times I look and am absolutely bored with but my husband picked it out so I slapped it on last time and put Oscar on my pinky to make me smile.

Karma Kisses!!

As I said before, I went to Sephora and treated myself to a few things that were on my wish list and I although it isn't much it was as usual expensive, for me anyway. I have an online order that is to arrive today [yay!!] and I just ordered something else. AH! I'm such a Sephora junkie!! But I couldn't resist! Not my fault they know my weakness [promo codes, points, & freebies] =(

I also went into CVS and snatched up Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam!! If you have been subscribe to me & my post &/or tweets then you know I've been searching for this and it has always been out! >_< But I  finally found my true love! I always knew Khloe & I were kindred spirits lol. Oh, and while I was there I grabbed 2 of the CVS exclusive Kardashian Kolors II.

Then I quickly, blindfolded myself in to Sally's grabbed this $5 jar of Olive Oil Edge Control and ran out before I got sucked into the bountifulness that is Sally's lol

ANNNNDDDD my first Julep nail mail came! Yay! I've been scoping Julep out for a while, indecisive but then I saw on The Nail Junkie's blog that I could sign up for a $1 this month!! I said swEet! And signed up and I was so surprised at how quickly it all arrived. Today is the LAST day that you can sign up for a $1 too! Don't miss out! Sign up here & use code "SHAREONFEB". =)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I went to Sephora and got a couple of things on my wish list, yays! I signed up for Julep since this month was only at $1, click here & use code "SHAREONFEB", you only have 3 more days so hurry!! I also ran down to CVS and Sally's to check out some exclusives and hair products. I won't go into details just yet but here are pics, pics, pics!!

Yesterday I was in WalMart [again] and I strayed into the beauty aisle [again] and I saw this beautiful shimmery purple from Nicole by OPI called Count On Me & I was entranced by it and of course, had to have it. LOL

So without further ado....

So pretty!

We Wear Pink on Wednesdays!!

Today's Mean Girls homage comes to you from Southern Sister Polish's Valentine manis, you can see them HERE. Cute right? I used Nicole by OPI: Wear Something Spar-Kylie from the first Kardashian Kolor kollection, OPI: Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj collection which were accented by Nicole by OPI: Positive Energy, Wet n Wild: Black Creme, & Sephora by OPI: Diva-in-training from the GLEE collection.

Not as clean as her's but I'll pat myself on the back

Hooray for me!

YAY!! I'm so excited y'all! I finally unlocked the power of water marbling! LOL I've seen so many other people do it but not explain HOW they did said water marble. Frustrating, right? Well, yesterday I was tweeting away and I saw my blogger go-to person, Kelly, post about her Step by Step Water Marbling Tutorial & Video. I was like SCORE!! Okay, okay, on to the finished product.

Wear Something Spar-Kylie

Tweet

Natural & Flash
Layered on Pink Friday

Wear Something Spar-Kylie is one of the few Kardashian Kolors from Nicole by OPI that I thought was a must have, Listen to Your Momager! was one that I snagged right away. This is a pretty, glittery rose-colored pink with multi-colored, microscopic pink glitters inside which does, indeed, cause this polish to sparkle!

I have to admit that I am sorely disappointed in the application, idk maybe I got a bad brush, but the application was thick and uneven. On top of that I did these nails last night at around 10:30 & as you can already see a little on my ring finger, it's starting to chip [and that's just the one you can see in the pictures]. I had such high hopes because it is a pretty color but is it worth the hassle? The only good from it is how quickly the polish dried.

Overall? C+ Would I buy it again? Probably not. Have you had any issues with your Wear Something Spar-Kylie?

Don't forget your Karma Kiss for the day!!

Listen to Your Momager!

As you all know the Kardashians decided to collab a collection with Nicole by OPI last year. I must admit that there were a few colors that caught my eye but eventually I forgot about them & moved on. ...that is, until I was watching KKTNY [Kourtney & Kim Take New York] and I saw Kris Jenner wearing this luxurious and commanding blue polish on her nails! I was like, "Babe!! I want that polish! I have to find out what she's wearing!!" Of course he was like, "...oookay?" I suddenly remembered, "Oh, wait! They have a line! YES!" So I immediately typed in "nicolebyopi.com" and BOOM! Listen to Your Momager! I was like, goooooaaaaaaallllll!!!! LOL So of course, I ran down to Wally World and snatched it up [sad that I didn't see Khloe had a little Lam Lam] and pranced around with excited, then drooled once I saw the finished product.

Add caption

Listen to Your Momager is a jelly based dark royal blue with tiny, microscopic blue shimmers inside *drools* I applied two coats for the opacity, which was actually surprising since the first coat was so sheer.

I topped my index finger with a gorgeous shattered that I fell in love with at a Sephora in-store VIB sale; it's Sephora by OPI, of course, in Turquoise Blasted. This is a beautiful turquoise blue with it's own tiny shimmers. I really like the combo.

What do you think? Any Kardashian favorite?
