BLOG UPDATE AND POLISH SALE

Hello all!

    I know it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I have blogged. Some would say all good things come to an end at some point and I think that is what has happened. I highly enjoyed blogging and keeping up with my Instagram for as long as I did. But, I was just at the point where it was hard to do my nails for fun and felt as if it was a burden to try and get blog content out to you all. I didn't want to keep doing something that I just didn't enjoy. I still paint my nails every now and then, but now it is just for me to feel good about how my nails look. Thank you to everyone who read and commented on my blog posts and for the support I got! It still seriously means so much to me to look back and read all of the nice words and conversations I had. I am so grateful to have been able to work with some of the amazing indie polish makers that I did. It was so fun while it lasted!!
    Now because I don't use all of the polish that I own as much as I use to, I have decided to destash my collection! I am currently working on organizing all of the polish that I want to get rid of. I think I am going to put all of the polish up on store envy, or do and auction on my Instagram. Which do you all think would be better? Whenever  I decide and start putting polish up for sale I will for sure let you all know where you can browse my collection! I will have a wide spectrum of brands from drugstore to semi-high end to some indie polishes. Please please please let me know if you guys would be interested in something like that! Thanks so much!

Thank you all again for all the support!
Rachel

Essie Splash of Grenadine and Shine of the TImes

Hey everyone!!!

I feel soooo out of the loop!!! I haven't posted in about 2 weeks!! Why?!?!? I miss blogging and nails so much! I have just been really busy lately! Also, I finally got a new computer! I was computerless for about a week though! But I'm back now! I will try to be blogging as much as possible now!

Today I have one of the prettiest combinations to show you all! First off I started with a base of Essie Splash of Grenadine. Then I added one coat of Shine of the Times, which has to be one of the awesomest polishes of all times!

I absolutely love the way these two look!! I think Shine of the Times looks really neat!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Lush Lacquer- Clowning Around

Hello everyone!

Today I have the famous Clowning Around from Lush Lacquer to show you! This polish is absolutely gorgeous! There are so many different ways that this polish could be worn! After seeing Vanessa's (@mrslochness) post on Instagram wearing it over glitter, I knew I had to try that combination!

Look how gorgeous this is! I started with a base of Salon Perfect Diamond Dust, and then one coat of Clowning Around. I lightly dabbed this polish on, but it can be applied normally. I just wanted to get the bigger glitters where I wanted them.

I absolutely love this polish combo! Clowning Around can be purchased on Lush Lacquer's etsy. What do you think about this combo? Thanks for stopping by!

China Glaze- Strawberry Fields

Hello all!

Today I am wearing Strawberry Fields by China Glaze. This polish is a stunner! With a rosy/magenta base and gold shimmer, it is absolutely beautiful! I found this polish in my local Sally Beauty Supply about a year ago and I have come to the knowledge that this polish comes from the 2009 summer collection! It may be a little tricky to find since it comes from an older collection, but it would be worth the hunt!

This polish was a little tricky to photograph, but I think it is pretty color accurate. Oh, and excuse the tip wear!

I just love the gold shimmer in this polish!

Thanks for reading!

Liquid Sky Lacquer- Fuchsia Illusion

Hello everyone!! I can't believe that I haven't posted in two weeks! I have been so busy lately and I just didn't have time to paint my nails! My schedule is freer than the last two were, so I am hoping to have posts up more often!

*Warning- Picture HEAVY!*

I can't even start to tell you how much I am in love with this polish. It is Ah-Mazing! Fuchsia Illusion is a thermal polish that changes from a dark purple holo when cold to a pink holo when warm! This is just one of the amazing creations from Liquid Sky Lacquer, and can be purchased here. To see the other two Liquid Sky Lacquer posts I have, you can click here and here

 Here it is in all its glory! Isn't she a beaut!?!? I dipped my nails in hot water and this picture is showing the change from pink to purple.

Above is what the polish looks like when it is cold. Shown is three coats and no topcoat. You can also see some of the holographic glitter in the pinky.

This is what the polish looks like when it is hot. The polish is a holo when it is hot and cold. 

And just a few shots during the transition.

Do you love this polish as much as I do? I think it is absolutely gorgeous and I am so glad that I was able to snag a bottle!

Thanks for reading and I will be back with more posts later this week!

Mix n' Match!

Hey everyone!

Recently I received my Julie G Frosted Gumdrops order from a deal Groupon had! I wanted to just try one out to see what it was like, but I didn't want to do my full hand, so I did an accent nail! I have really been into mix n' match nails lately, so why not keep it up? I went with a simple black, blue, and glitter mani!

I really love these! And I also like the texture of the Julie G polish! now for some colors!
black- Wet n' Wild Black Creme
silver glitter- Essie Set in Stones
glitter on middle finger- loose glitter that can be found in any craft store
blue- Julie G Blueberry Fizz

I am so excited to try the rest of the Frosted Gumdrops collection! What do you think about the polishes?

Thanks for stopping by!

Orly- Decades of Dysfunction

Hello all!

So today I have a very pretty nude color from Orly. Decades of Dysfunction is perfection! I think it also works well with my skin tone which is a plus! This color is a creamy off white with a pinkish undertone tint. I love this color!

Show is 3 easy coats, and the formula was awesome! I did have some trouble with my pinkie but it doesn't look too bad!

I would definitely recommend this polish to someone!! If you don't have it then you should go and get a bottle!!

Blue Nails for Autism- #4

Hey everyone!!

You know, I'm gonna miss doing blue nails every friday! Today is the last installment of Blue Nails for Autism. I think I am going to have to figure out something to do every Friday in the months ahead!

So for today I just have a pretty light blue polish with some shimmer in it. Sally Hansen Breezy Blue is beautiful!  Shown is three thin coats, and it goes on like a dream! Oh and other good news, my nails are finally back to being squared!!

Isn't it pretty!?!?!? On a side note, I used the Blue Cross Cuticle Remover from Sally's for the first time and I must say I am in love! If you don't have it, you need to go buy it! 5 bucks for a 16 oz. bottle, and it will last for forever!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wet n' Wild Break the Ice with stamping!

Hey guys!

So today I have a really elegant and pretty mani to show you all! I am also really happy with the way my stamping turned out! I have only stamped about 3 or 4 times because I have been scared to, but I am going to face my fears and learn how to get better! I also got a little impatient and my top coat smudged the image, but not too bad.

For the base, I used 3 coats of Wet n' Wild Break the Ice which is a beautiful white shimmer! Then I stamped with China Glaze Spontaneous using Bundle Monster plate BM21. To top it off, I used a coat of INM Out The Door, and finally I added some black rhinestones from Winstonia.

Hope you all like it and thanks for reading!!

Blue Nails for Autism- #3

Hey everyone!
Again I say... I'm sorry for not posting all week! Still trying to let my lil' nubs grow out!

So for this Friday's blue nails, I just have a swatch! Barielle Falling Star is so pretty though!! This polish is a creme blue base with small round copper glitters. I really like the look of this polish, but it was a bit of a pain in the behind to apply. First coat was great, but the second and third coats were a little thick. Before applying a third coat, I added some polish thinner from Sally's to it. It made just the slightest bit of a difference. Anyways, onto pictures!

Oh and I am sorry for the oily cuticles, gotta keep 'em looking good!

Thanks for stopping by and reading!

Blue Nails for Autism- #2

Hello all!!

First I just want to apologize for not posting anything all week and then not posting this yesterday (Friday) when it was supposed to go up. I have had a crazy week and time got away from me. Also, 2 of my nails broke so I had to cut them all :( so I will be trying to let them grow out! Ok, onto the blue nails!!

This mani is kind of a mix n' match mani I guess you could say! It is quite similar to my pink and holographic nails. Ok, nevermind that, they are almost the exact same mani! Whoops!! I didn't mean to do that!

Although my nails are short, I'm kinda diggin' the length and the shape!

For the blue I used Pure Ice- French Kiss, which I might add is perfect! The silver on my middle finger is Sally Hansen- Celeb City and the glitter is Essie- Set in Stones.

I love this mani!! What about you? Thanks for stopping by!!
