Enchanted Polish Magical Mystery Tour

So this one was super hard for me to get... I bought it a little while back from meimeisignatures.com for a a bit of money... more than I should have. It was the only way for me to have a polish I had been lemming. Since I bought it, I never used it on myself, just on my co-worker. Well today was as good a day as any to pop this one on!

EEK! So pretty!!!

This polish changes from purple to blue to teal to green to red and gold. It has so much going on... its also a scattered holo. This is two buttery coats over two coats of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark... All my black polishes were packed away so I could paint my bestie's nails,  (I was being lazy and didnt want to unpack them). AND here are her nails:

She's got little midget-y fingers... so no art, just mattes, glitters, stickers and studs. They came out pretty damn hot, if I do say so myself!

After all that we went to the Mexican Rodeo at the National Western Stock Show!!! So much fun!!!

 This was so cool!!! I have never been to a rodeo before... much less a Mexican one. The matador was very skilled... had a nice tight bum too!

There was bareback bronco riding and bull riding... This guy won the bull riding by a TON he was on there for way longer than anyone else!

It was a pretty good day filled with polish, adventure and good food... only drawback? I found out that I am pretty damned allergic to horses!

SO, what do you think of Magical Mystery Tour? Its pretty fab, right? I'm in love!

Twelve Nails of Christmas: Day 4

This morning I woke to find not only had someone followed me and commented on my last post.... but that it was Cynthia from Of Life and Lacquer which is one of my very favorite blogs!!! I am honored, Cynthia! 

For the rest of you out there, you have no idea how much I want to celebrate getting my first follower... yeah, its pretty cool *nonchalant shrug on the outside - super freaking out on the inside* I think I want to do an after Christmas GIVEAWAY (but still in the Christmas spirit - a Christmas set), stay tuned, be on the look out, stay excited, AND FOLLOW ME!!!

Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled programming: 

I love holo polish!!! I went nuts at Urban Outfitters when I saw these! 

This is Green Holo and I also got Pink Holo (and Chilly and Peppermint, which aren't holos but are cool). I have wanted to paint a design over holo polish for forever and this was the perfect opportunity. I love my little holly sprigs, they are too cute!

How great is that holo? No special base coat, no dragging, this is just two coats. The effect is stunning in daylight or even inside, its very eye catching. The polish was $10 so not a bad deal in my opinion, run out and get this!


What do your Christmas nails look like? If I get any emails with pictures I want to post them on a "day after Christmas" post.

Photo Dump

Another photo dump for you all, (im sure youre thrilled!!!)

I change my polish at least every other day, but sometimes it doesnt seem spectacular enough for its own post... or I dont have enough time.

This is Zoya Evvie with Glitter Gal's Silver Holorgraphic over the top, two coats each. I really love the Glitter Gal holo formula. Its packed full of holo.

These are my Bestie's nails!!! I love to paint other people's nails because it I can be more creative. I used hole reinforcements to paint a super thick tip then a dab of a lighter color for the belly and then China Glaze's Lux and Lush for the belly glitter, then a dotting tool in two sizes to make eyes and a striper for the beak.

This is my first Hare Polish... It deserves its own post but I didnt take notes on the polish when I put it on. It got a lot of attention at school. It's gorgeous think black with green glitter. I used a layer of Supernova Springs, then a layer of Liquid Leather (CG) then another coat of Supernova... almost like a jelly sandwich. 

For this mani I used the shimmery orange from my Color Barometer set (TNB) and then OPI's gold shatter and Essie's Matte About You... I like matte finishes but they dont last a full day for me, the matte polishes shiny by mid day.

I did this mani for a friend from school. She loves bright colors so I used a new Pixi polish I picked up in Vivid Coral. Its super close to Color Club's Jackie Oh! but a bit more orange tinged. Close enough that I shouldnt have them both... The consistency is good and application was easy. I used a striper for the rest of it.

Last but not least I bought this Color Club set at Ross and have no idea what the colors are, they should label their sets... its super irritating, le sigh. I cant be too sad because I picked it up for $4.99 since the price wasnt marked and there werent any others... I told them it was super similar to some other set with similar colors... but it was some brand I had never heard of and they didnt look as nice. Either way, I almost felt like I stole the set!!! I would REALLY like to know what the colors are called, I wore the purple one (which is a bit more purple than Zoya Charisma) and I received so many compliments at work. The pink isnt Jackie OH, its much darker and a bit more blue if that makes any since and the light robin's egg color is more mint green (but less pastel) than China Glaze's For Audrey. SOMEONE HELP!!!

Let me know what you think of the mani's and colors... Definitely let me know if you can identify the Color Club set. Thank you!!!
