Happy Birthday Argyle

Hi everyone :)

First, I want to send my wishes out to all those in the Northeast that are getting hit by Nemo. My entire family and lots of my friends live there so my heart is heavy tonight. I hope everyone is safe!

Second, I want to wish my wonderful husband, Kelly, a VERY VERY Happy Birthday. The poor guy has been struggling with chest pains for several weeks, and after a bunch of test they have decided to go back in his chest on Monday to check over his stints. I'm hoping it's something minor, but it could also lead to bypass surgery if needed. We won't know anything until Monday. We check in the hospital at 1pm Monday and our return home date is up in the air. Please say a prayer for him.

Tonight my post is a birthday mani for Kelly. His favorite color is purple...so of course I was going all out purple. I started with one coat of Rescue Beauty Lounge's MISMAS. A super gorgeous purple polish. I than dabbed on a few coats of Candy Lacquers Purple Argyle.

To top things off, I did one coat of Seche Vite (regular formula) and one coat of Seche Vite (UV formula). I then dried them under my UV light nail drier for several minutes, and then I was out the door for Kelly's Birthday dinner. With the impending surgery Monday, I wanted him to have a special meal tonight and a special mani.

This combination came out so much better than planned. Check out the fine glitters that add that special background sparkle. The polish has purple, white, black and HOLO diamond shape glitters. Super fabulous.

The polish also contains white, black and HOLO bar glitter. The combination is over the top WOW. 

This is one of those happy surprise polishes. This polish didn't really look special in the bottle. It seemed kind of just there. Sitting in a tray next to other glitter polishes, it didn't seem to stand out. Once the polish was on the nail, it was a totally different story...it was amazing. I'm now sorry I overlooked it for so long.

Kelly really liked it a lot, so it was perfect. I hope you guys like it!. I will try and do another post before Kelly gets admitted to the Hospital Monday. I have a feeling that it will be a day filled with unbearable stress, and if my nails are gross and messy it will just make me feel a billion times worse. I think most of you that polish your nails understand this. You are having a horrible day crying, and you look at your yuck nails and you just break down even more and then feel WAY worse. I'm going to wear something happy and positive that day.  Please say a prayer for us, it would be much appreciated.

 Be back soon!!!

Maya Cosmetics New Release!

Hi Guys,

Tonight I have a special post featuring Maya Cosmetics. The following two polishes will be available for sale starting tomorrow January 10, 2013.

First up is It's Not Easy. This polish will be part of the Maya Cosmetics Core line and is available for sale for $8.00/bottle until the end of February. You can purchase yours HERE.

For those of you that follow my blog you know how I love my green polishes, and this is no exception. I can honestly say I am in LOVE with this polish. Check out all the depth this polish has. It has the perfect amount of hex glitter added and a gorgeous shimmer.  This is my first Maya Cosmetics polish and I am seriously impressed!

This polish contains large and small dark green hex glitters and a large light green hex glitter. The combination is stunning and so pretty to say the least.

The next color is part of Maya Cosmetics Limited Edition Crescent City Collection, a New Orleans inspired collection. It is called Cookin' Creole. I am usually not a fan of light polishes, but this is perfect for me. It is such a delcious pale brown and it is packed with glitters. This is the type of light polish I love!

HOW GORGEOUS!!! Check out the small black glitters, my favorite part that makes this polish very unique. This can also be purchased for $8.00/bottle and again it's Limited Edition, so grab yours while you can.  You can also visit Maya Cosmetics on Facebook to keep up to date on all new releases and company announcements.

Both polishes are 3 coats alone and they both applied like butter for me with no issues. The formula was so smooth that these will be added to my 'easy' pile. My Easy pile contains polishes that are super carefree and easy to apply for when you want to look great but don't have a lot of time to mess with typical glitter polish.

What do you guys think of the new colors? Have your tried this brand yet? I would love to hear what you guys think! Please leave your comments below.

**These polishes were sent to me for my honest review**

Please Read :) Major Blog Change...

Hi Everyone,

I just recently updated my email address here at ThePolishHoochie Blog. During this transition, things are going to change a little for the blogs I was 'following'.

Since I had to change my email address, all the people I was following on the OLD email address need to be deleted and transfered to the NEW email address. This is not a simple task, and will take several days to complete.

If I was following your blog, and now no longer seem to be that just means I am in the process of un-following you with the old email address and re-following you with the new email address. I will let you all know when I'm done so If I don't re-follow you then you know I accidental missed you.  When I'm finished the transition, I will have a new post up where you can add your blog address for me to follow again if I did indeed miss you.

I'm really sorry for the confusion guys, but my my old email address had to go :) Thanks for the patience in my transition of email accounts.

Party Time - New Years :) and Rainbow Polish

Hi Guys,

Today I wanted to show you guys my nails that I wore on New Years Eve to celebrate the start of 2013. This is three coats of Essie Greenport topped with Rainbow Polishes Havasu. RP is becoming a new favorite Indie polish for me, her stuff is truly FABULOUS!.

This manicure was so sparkly and fun. It reminded me of confetti and a big ole party. It was just perfect for bringing in the New Year. I can not tell you the amount of compliments I have received on these nails. I lost count lol. 

As you can tell this picture is not taken under my normal photo tent that I usually use for my nail shots. I had family visiting for the holidays and the tent had to be put up. I usually have my photo tent set up in my guest room, and it was occupied with my guests. I just snapped this the old fashion way lol.

The reason I choose this color scheme is I wanted it to match with my new   Jawbone Up Fitness bracelet that I got from Kelly for Christmas. I wanted to have nails to match haha :)

The Jawbone UP is AMAZING....it tracks your sleep, activity levels, steps, food intake and on and on. It has really motivated me to get into shape for 2013. Here are some of the things it does...

 YES - it does all of that.  I absolutely love it and it has not come off my

 wrist since I received it. HERE is a link for the bracelet if you guys are interested in checking into it furthur.

My nails and bracelet where a perfect match and I brought in the New Year with some serious BLING. I loved this manicure so much I STILL HAVE IT ON....just the smallest amount of tip wear and no chips!!!  I can not tell you the last time I kept a polish on for this long. I have no new posts yet since it's still on LOL!!! I probably will wear it into the weekend 

**** shocked gasps**** :)

Do you guys like it? I would love to hear what you guys wore to bring in the New Year, leave it in the comments below!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years!!!
