Mini haul!!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post a mini haul which was actually my first nail polish haul of 2013. I went to Sally's this past weekend and they had all the holiday 2012 nail polishes on clearance so I picked up a few.

From L to R: China Glaze Champagne Kisses, China Glaze Water you waiting for, China Glaze Bizarre Blurple, China Glaze Cast a Spell, Finger Paints Midnight Sleigh Ride, Orly Miss Conduct, Orly Angel Eyes

 



These are all Christmas and Halloween polishes except for China Glaze Water You Waiting For which is from the Cirque du Soleil collection. I also picked up a new gelous gel top coat, seche vite, and pure acetone. These colors are gorgeous! Here are some closer pics:

My favorite polishes of 2012!!

Hello beauties! I've finally created my list of favorite nail polishes of 2012! I love reading everyone else's favorites as well. First let's start with my favorite topcoat collection! Flakies were huge in 2012 so of course who can forget the coveted Finger Paints Flake Effects collection released in January!

These are amazing! Zoya and Essie also had great flakies as well. The Finger Paints collection were limited and now hard to find but Zoya and Essie flakies are still available!
My favorite glitter collection of 2012 was the Orly flash glam FX glitters! These are just amazing! I don't own all of them but I do have a good amount!







Kudos to Orly for bringing these to us!

My favorite summer collection has to be the China Glaze neons of 2012! Hands down! They were almost all amazing! Except for one jelly, all of these were opaque and gorgeous!

Autism Awareness Month and NOTD

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I can't believe it's already April! April is autism awareness month and I have a brother who is autistic and has aspberger's syndrome. At first it was very difficult to understand but now he's older and he's never been more social, loving, happy, and just plain amazing! He also has a great sense of humor, he's always been smart,  and loves making people laugh. He's almost a senior in high school and he wants to go to college so I plan on helping him apply to whichever colleges he wants. So the color for autism awareness month is blue. I wanted to start off April with blue nails.  The symbol for autism awareness is a puzzle piece so I plan on incorporating that into some of my nail designs as well. Please feel free to leave pictures and stories on my facebook page, here and on my twitter about autism awareness and what it means to you. I'd love it! So for my NOTD I put on China Glaze Smoke and Ashes which looks pretty up close but from far just looks like black nail polish, so I added one coat of Finger Paints Motley to give it a blue flakie effect. Smoke and Ashes is from the Hunger Games collection and the formula is flawless and opaque in pretty much one coat but I put on two. I didn't photograph it on it's own but I will soon.

I wore this mani glossy for a day and then I added one coat of China Glaze Matte Magic. Check it out!

I love this look! It's so much prettier in person! I can't stop staring at my nails! This reminds me of the dark murky ocean! What do you guys think?
