Teddy Girl





I don't think cuticles could get any worse! It hasn't been that cold in Chicago at all, but my hands are still just so dry and disgusting.  Oh well, what can I do.  I've been using olive oil for my cuticles, and every single hand cream I could get my dry grubby hands on and still no luck.  Anyways, here's my attempt at tiny nubbin nail art.  I was going to do more polka dots, and then we got a call saying my brother came home and I lost all interest in any more polka dots! I used Butter London's Teddy Girl, and for the dots OPI Big Hair...Big Nails and Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear.

It's a Heartbreaker

So yeah... I had to cut down my nails again, and my cuticles are horrendous. Aye. 

Simple mani.  ChG Concrete Catwalk and Pure Ice Heartbreaker.  Love.

Smok'n in Havana


Happy New Year! I know it's a little late and I never did an official NYE manicure cause I couldn't go out that night. BUT... I used my favorite polish EVER (well one of them)!  Smok'n in Havana, which apparently is HTF but I bought it online for $5 last year, so I'm not exactly sure about that.  Its a gorgeous red with gold shimmers in it.  On me it pulls more of the red rather than a bronzey orange that it pulls on some people I've seen.  My camera had major trouble trying to capture the actual color of this red.



 I got bored so I sponged on some Nicole by OPI Glitter in my Stocking.  Red and Gold sparkles!

Birthday Nails

I was going to actually post this on my birthday (26th of December I'm a Christmas baby!).  Things got busy and I couldn't post it until now.  I was going for more of a glitter gradient and it didn't really turn out that way.  Oh well, still got compliments on them!  I used Confetti Happy Birthday! (Seemed appropriate) Essie Chinchilly and the glitter was Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy.  The glitter truly is to die for! I'm so happy my PAA secret santa got it for me!

Saint Nicholas would beat you?


I hope all of you guys had a wonderful Christmas! This year was more of a quiet one for me and my family, with the big brother and my mother's side of the family gone.  I was planning on more of a xmas skittle mani, but I guess it just wasn't in the cards for me.  So I stuck with just a simple reindeer, on my middle finger.  Classy lady as always.  To be honest, that really wasn't planned that way.  I added the reindeer before I gave up on the Christmas skittles.  ChG Ruby Pumps, and OPI Suzi loves Cowboys.

The twin got me chincilly for christmas! I've been wanting it for so long, but every-time I go and think about getting it I always put it back.  But now I have it, and it's mine lol.

Christmas Mani Day #2


Christmas Water Marble.  Expected it to be a fail, but it wasn't! I'm actually really excited about how this turned out! Granted there's a couple of nails I can't stand... but I can deal.   Awkward hands, and why yes I do my nails while on the computer.  lololol

I used Confetti Wedding White as the base, China Glaze Hey Sailor, and Starboard along with Wedding White to do the swirly stuff.

Christmas Maniure Day #1

I've been neglecting my blog a lot lately and I'm so sorry! Wrestling season just started which keeps me ridiculously busy! Also, I swear we haven't had any sunny days in Chicago since thanksgiving.  *sigh*
On the plus side my Polish-aholics Anonymous Secret Santa came in and I got the entire Beyond the Mistletoe Collection by Color Club and 5 nic's sticks by OPI! Two of them are holos! I'm so excited to try them out!
Anyways, here's my first christmas manicure.  I used  one coat of Party Hearty from last year's holiday collection by CG and three coats of Wedding White by confetti.  No clean up... sorry guys!
