Icing Pre Game

  I shall start out with the average black creme!


  Now... we add the glitter!



\





  Icing Pre Game.  Very similar to Icing After Party.  I did have a bottle comparison photo of them, but I can't find it :(.  Oops.  But they both have shards, just some different colors.
  I'm not a hundred percent sure whether some of these pictures have matte top coat on them or not.  But it really doesn't matter.
  Over Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Happy shredding,

Zoya Pippa

  Hello dear readers!  Today I have a real summer color for you, Zoya Pippa.  Pippa is an orange toned yellow creme.  I have used it before, in water marbles and such (too lazy to link ya), and have even used it for a full manicure.  And I kinda liked it.  But now... Not so much.
It is never this neon



Shade
Somewhat color accurate

  So, yeah.  Part of the reason is that yellow doesn't look good on my skin tone.  Like I don't own more than like two yellow shirts and I never wear yellow dresses or anything.  I have a yellow bathing suit but in my opinion, if one isn't tan, one can not properly pull off yellow.  And even right now, I ain't tan :P.  But I guess I'd rather wear an orange toned yellow rather than a green toned yellow (blech).

Happy summer,
Em

China Glaze Atlantis- Reswatch

  Hello readers!!  Before I forget to mention this, I will give you a fair warning: THIS POST CONTAINS NUBBINS AND A TON OF PICTURES.  There, I warned you. :)
  Well, we all know about my obsession with China Glaze Atlantis.  Like, I love it.  A lot.  It is one of my favorite polishes of all time (umm, check that top 10 list of mine!).  Let us commence with the load of pictures!

Odd angle?  Lol




  Atlantis is a teal/blue/green/turquoise/idk color.  Yes, I actually have NO IDEA what color to call the base...  But whatever it is, it is semi-opaque (not really a jelly base) and has holographic glitter scattered in it.  This holographic glitter gives it that rainbow effect that we all love in our polishes.  It is Ah-Mah-Zing.  Legit.
  I love love love putting this on and I owe my best friend for getting this for me.  She gave it to me the day the obsession started; the day before my first post ever!!  So, yeah.  It has a special place in my heart :D.

Happy describing,

Disco Chicks

  Hello readers!!  I got this polish (Love & Beauty Silver Glitter) over a year ago and I use it every so often.  I even have a manicure right here from like when I first started blogging!  Oh the difference!

  I kinda forgot to take a lot of pictures for this, so it is a quite short post.  But to explain the name, I work at a day camp and my girls are second graders.  Our group name is the Disco Chicks and these girls are the cutest things on the planet.  And there are only eight of them.  Yes, EIGHT!  I got luckyyy.  But since these girls are the Disco Chicks, for open house and the first day of camp I thought I would do something fitting, a.k.a. disco ball nails :)

Happy summer,
Em

China Glaze Ulta-mate Holiday

  Okay, this mani was from a WHIIIIIIIILE ago (pictures taken on April 19th to be exact) and I've wanted to share this with you guys since like mid-winter.  But it doesn't look too great on my little nubbins.


  So enjoy this mini golden-holo goodness!!

Happy holoing,

Josh's Graduation!

  Hey guys!  Again, sorry about the lack of posting, things have been very crazy lately...
  But my brother graduated last month (2 years older than I) and I did this manicure to represent our high school colors, navy and white.  I'm very big in school pride so I mix these a lot...




  The blue is China Glaze First Mate and the White is Wet n Wild French White.  Looking at these nails these days it's like OMG nubbins!!  So yeah mine right now are much longerrrr.  Not like very long just longer than I am used to.
  I cried at graduation.  This is my sibling that is closest in age to me and therefore he was my buddy and I love him <3.

Happy graduation,
Em

Fourth of July Manicure!

  Happy late American Independence Day!   Here is my manicure in all it's gore.  I used the plastic bag method to do this which I am way too lazy to explain.  I did it for the stripes.




  The base color is OPI Swimsuit... Nailed It! and I used Wet n Wild French White and China Glaze Hey Sailor for the stripes.
  I am very very lazy today so thats just about it!  And just FYI, I hate hate hate how this turned out...

Happy celebrating,

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

  I was lazy and unable to take pictures...




  This is Revlon Facets of Fuchsia.  I have finally learned how to properly spell the name.  I saw this a whillllllee ago and picked it up and wore it once late last year.  And I hated it.  Well, not hated it, but I certainly didn't love it.  I can honestly say that I dont really love it now either.  It was (in my opinion) too much hype for what it was...
  Facets of Fuchsia is a black jelly (well, kinda) with purple shimmer and glitter suspended in it.  It sounds good in theory, I just really did NOT like the formula.
  I belieeeeeeeve this is two coats.  Might be three, I really don't no nor care.  Hey, the good news is that my nails aren't nubbins anymore!!


Happy jellying,
Em
