Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

 Today I have a super fun, but VERY long post (sorry to dail-up users). I last minute ordered Rainbow Polish's Valentine's Day Polish Set and never thought I would get it in time, well it came in the mail yesterday and I was so excited!!! 

 

(*Please note: the Special Delivery Ornament is mine, and was purchased from Hobby Lobby. This ornament is not part of the set).

It came in a really cute plastic heart container wrapped with a red ribbon bow. It was so cutely packaged I almost didn't want to open it lol. Of course I did open it, with much excitement! The set includes three polishes..

SUGAR KISSES - PRETTY IN PINK and LOVENDER.

They are so sparkly and pretty and SCREAM Valentine's Day.

 (*Please note: The Kisses Glitter Ornament is not part of the set, and was purchased by me at Hobby Lobby).

I just could not get enough pictures of these beauties...

As you can see the glitter in these are F-abulous....

 

I in no way could decide which I liked better. I love Pretty in Pink (the name alone had me), but Kelly's fav color (my Hubby) loves purple, and Sugar Kisses has Hearts in it (Perfect for Valentine's Day)... SO ....I decided to do them all lol. 

I started with this pattren as my base coats...

 Thumb and Pinky: China Glaze Naked

Ring Finger and Index Finger: China Glaze Make An Entrance

Middle Finger: BB Couture Joker (Much more purple toned - my camera made it show more blue here) 

Thumb and Pinky Finger: Sugar Kisses

Index and Ring Finger: Pretty in Pink

Middle Finger: Lovender 

  Epppp, how cute is this?!! :) I LOVE HOW THIS TURNED OUT!!!

Tonight we have a Healing Hearts class (how appropriate for Valentine's Day). It's part of Kelly's rehab and since he wasn't able to go all week with the Hospital Procedure Monday we decided to go to the class. This manicure will be so fun to have on for the class. My Pinky and Thumb finger even have hearts!

The shimmer that is in the base it just gorgeous. I seriously want to lick my fingers hehehehehe, it looks like sugar!

As you can see I took a Gazillion pictures of my nails too lol. 

A one last parting shot!!! 

Hope you guys liked this as much as I did. Sorry for the 1000 pictures lol.

 Here is the last of my pictures (there are more LOL)....

Kelly got me three more items for my Pandora Bracelet. The Flower Safety Chain, The Owl Charm and the Love birds charm for my Valentine's Day gift. I so love them!!! He is the best Hubby in the world.

(we are big time into birds and after this weekend getaway we have planned you will see the significance of these charms) 

And last but not least, I left my Xmas tree up in my Nail Polish room and decorated it for Valentine's Day cuz I'm Crazy like that lol.  I will be leaving it up and decorating it for each holiday this year, that's just how I roll LOL (CRAZY ROLL)!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

 

Dog Day Dream

Hi Guys,

I have a polish for you guys tonight that is A-MAZING!!!! :) I wanted something pink and red for Valentine's Day week. Since my hubby has been sick, I had to place my Valentine's Day Polish order(s)LATE, so for the beginning of this week I had to just make do with polishes already in my stash. I shopped my stash and came up with Hare's Dog Day Dream. The colors were exactly what I was looking for. Pink, Red, Purple...so amazing you just have to see it to ubderstand it's true beauty. 

I wore this for Kelly's heart procedure, Monday. I wanted something bright and pretty to look at to help keep me positive and calm instead of freaking out, which I kind of did anyways. 

The night before when I did this mani, it really did help to calm me and it helped me to focus as well. I was less nervous about everything that was going to happen Monday. Let me introduce you to the wonderful and stunning Hare's Dog Day Dream. This is 3 coats all on it's own. I really loved that I didn't have to layer this. I was doing a lot to prep things for Kelly the night before we went to the Hospital, so this had to be fast and effortless, and just what I needed in a hectic time.

I love how it came out. I see why everyone raves about Hare's so much, this one was lovely!!!

Perfect to kick off Valentine's Day Mani's :) 

Today I got my order of Valentine's Day polishes so those will be posted next, stay tuned. Also, don't forget to enter my 900 followers/likes Giveaway. You can enter here...GIVEAWAY LINK

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.
