Hey Everyone!!! I have been a major slacker lately. My nails all broke and peeled and are pretty short and nubby right now. I was discouraged. I finally put a gel mani on them to help them grow and stop breaking. Working at the kennel isn't easy on them but I know that wasn't the reason they were breaking. Peelies and damage is not my friend. I have also been working on making an Etsy site with my polish jewelry so I have been focused on that too. Too many projects too little time. </div>

Today I am going to do a post about my stamping swatch book. I am way behind on this bad boy right now so I foresee a catch up day in my future...maybe two or three actually. There are two reasons I keep a swatch book for my plate images. The first reason is it is a whole lot easier to flip through a binder full of sheets of paper than it is to flip through all of my different stamping plates. The second reason is that I learned the hard way to swatch my plates to make sure they stamp well. I had ordered Bundle Monster's CYO set and Holiday set at the same time. Since it was around the holidays I started using the holiday plates first and put the CYO on the back burner. When I started seeing buzz about people having issues with their CYO plates I tested mine and found that the majority of the images were not picking up. I went through quite a mission trying to get them to replace the set because of the time frame and their stance that they usually do not have to replace the entire set. When I was forced to swatch every image I realized that a swatch book would have saved me a lot of time and headache. I try to swatch all my new plates fairly soon after receiving them so that I don't fall behind and I can make sure the plates are properly etched and will stamp.</div>

I use a regular binder, though I think I need a bigger one at this point, and clear page sheets for all the pages. I have each brand separated. I don't have divider tabs for each brand yet. I am not sure if I want to go that route or not so right now I just have a few dividers randomly thrown in there. They came with the binder so I left them.</div>

My set up for each brand consists of the brand sheet which usually has their logo and name. </div>

Next I put a picture of the plates that I copied and printed from online. Sometimes it helps to see the plate and sometimes I don't even look at these pages. As my binder gets bigger and heavier I question the need for these pages. I know a lot of people use just these pages or scans of the plates for their books.</div>

Personally I would rather see what the image actually stamps like rather than what the plate looks like. I use cheap black polish and stamp each image out. I made some template pages with boxes so that I could keep track of which plate the images came from and to keep everything organized.</div>

The plates that give me the most headache are the scenic plates or the plates that have full images across them. I have a few MoYou, Dashica, Marianne and knockoff plates like this. Before I got my Creative or super huge stamper I would try and stamp them in little sections so I could see the different images but still keep them sort of together.</div>

I always have issues imagining reverse images like the flowers and hearts images on the Vivid Lacquer plates. I can do ok with the open white ones but the black ones I can just not picture. Having them stamped together on the sheet makes it a lot easier for me to picture what my mani will look like and how much polish you are going to see if I use the black image compared to the open one. I hope that made sense, it did in my mind.</div>

I am contemplating scanning all my pages to make a digital database where I can sort by holiday or image so I have that additional option to be able to look for hearts and get all the images at once.

Hey Everyone!!! Happy Friday! I love Friday. I don't have much planned for the weekend but I am hoping to work on some new polish jewelry pieces. Other than that I have nothing. It is a pretty boring week. Today is take your child to work day, however, mine is finally at the age where he would rather go to school because he knows he won't be doing anything there. Ah how I miss little ones. </div>

Today's mani is something I did at the end of last month for Wrestlemania. We watch it every year and this year I remembered I have a plate with the logo and so I had to do a mani for it.</div>

For the base I went with a simple black and gold gradient. We were watching the Hall of Fame ceremony when I did this mani so I was thinking fancy with the black and gold I guess.</div>

I did a base of Sinful Colors Black on Black then kind of dabbed the gold on. I probably should have used a sponge for a better effect but I couldn't remember where I had put them and I was too lazy to go find them. The gold is Milani Milan from their Fierce Foil Collection. I really love the look of this gold for some reason. It is kind of a flakey glitter which makes it fun to use for gradients.</div>

I used Fab Ur Nails plate FUN 11 for the image. I have had this plate for quite awhile and never remember that this image is on there. I used Konad White stamping polish with Mundo De Unas Reddish. I love how this mani came out and even C showed more interest in it than his usual half paying attention nod.</div>

Hey Everyone!!! I hope everyone who celebrates had a nice Easter, Passover and whatever else you celebrated this past weekend. We didn't do much but it was a nice relaxing weekend with good food. I only managed to do one Easter mani this year. I have no idea why but I was just not feeling the festive Easter spirit and I was lazy. At least the one mani I did do was cute. </div>

I started the mani off with a 3 coat base of Wet N Wild in Wear Skinny Jeans. This is from their Silver Lake Collection. The collection is supposed to be Hipster cool but the display makes it look like a throwback to the 1990's 90210 cool era. I absolutely love these colors though and pretty much acquired all of them except the pink one. </div>

I used Sinful Flight to See which is more of an opalescent top coat to stamp the chevron pattern. I used Bundle Monster plate BM-423 from the 2013 Create Your Own set. The chevrons were nice and subtle which I liked.</div>

I really liked this mani and kept it on for a couple of days but that is where the Easter stopped. I spent most of the weekend with naked nails which is just unheard of. I had a few breaks too which damned my spirits. I hate when my nails grow and bit then all break. It happens all the time so I am somewhat used to it but I still hate it.</div>

Hey Everyone!!! I keep thinking today is Friday only to be disappointed to realize it is only Thursday. It has also been very aggravating like a typical Monday. I blame the almost full moon. </div>

Today is April 2nd which is Autism Awareness Day. I actually wore this mani yesterday since April is Autism Awareness Month and today I have a different, non stamped, blue mani on. I have always known there is a lot of differing opinions on autism and the causes but yesterday was the first time I realized there are many people against the whole blue/puzzle piece Autism Awareness movement. Without getting into that whole ordeal and drama or the politics of the campaign and agendas I want to post my blue mani to support Autism Awareness. I know several ladies with autistic children and my son goes to school with a few kids with autism. I think awareness is always a good thing and helps to promote understanding and compassion.</div>

When I was searching my swatch book for images to use I could not find any puzzle pieces. I have no idea why because I know I have a few different images. I finally found this one and it was late and I was tired so I decided to just do a simple mani with the single puzzle piece. I actually loved how simple it looked.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the puzzle piece from plate Pueen 32 from the Love Elements Collection. To stamp I used Mundo de Unas Turquoise. The image was on the end of the plate and I was having some issues with not picking up extra polish, did I mention I was tired, so the images didn't come out as good as they should have. I think it looked kind of cool that they were sort of worn looking though. </div>

Hey Everyone!! Last day of March, last St. Patrick's Day green mani. This is the mani I actually wore on St. Patrick's Day. I loved it, so much fun.</div>

We went to lunch the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day and they gave me this Guinness bead necklace. I will take most anything if it is free and decided that it would be a nice festive prop for these pictures. I don't actually drink Guinness, or anything alcoholic really, but it was green.</div>

For some reason I didn't grab the tiny shamrocks correctly and they didn't come out perfect but they were still cute. I love this plate and highly recommend it for all your Irish and St. Patrick's Day stamping needs. Had it arrived earlier I would have done more manis with it but MoYou released it so close to the holiday that by the time it arrived I only had a couple days left to play. It is probably better that way seeing as I am still posting St. Patrick's Day going into April. Who knows how many more manis I would have to post had I gotten that plate sooner. </div>

Hey Everyone! March is coming to an end. I can't believe we are already heading into April. Where does the time go? I am going to quickly and neatly wrap up March with a couple of posts of the two St. Patrick's Day manis I hadn't posted yet. Hopefully Easter nails will be more timely. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one could technically be considered Spring though since the glitter is flower glitter and not shamrock or four leaf clover glitter.</div>

I used three coats of China Glaze Shore Enuff for the base of this mani. I absolutely love how bright it is.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put one coat of the dark version of Sinful Colors Shamrockin on top. This one is the same as the light version with the addition of little dark green glitter. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I might prefer this version but I am not sure yet. It is definitely a fun polish no matter what. I absolutely love that Sinful Colors used shaped glitter this year. </div>

Hey Everyone. I think I need a nap. I am suddenly sleepy. It is pretty slow at work so that doesn't help all that much. At least it is almost Friday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still catching up from St. Patrick's Day so today is another green mani. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this mani I used a base of Orly Fresh. I love this green. It is bright and squishy and so fun. I used three coats for this mani.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To stamp I used Mundo de Unas #19 Bronze and Sinful Colors black polish.The black wasn't thick enough to be dark enough over the Bronze but I couldn't get my placement right to double stamp it. </div>

You can see in the picture above where I tried to double stamp the Leprechaun. </div>

I used Messy Mansion plate MM04 for the designs on this mani. It was fun and festive but I think my nails are a little too small for the knot work to show really nicely. </div>

Hey Everyone!! I have been slacking. Last week H was on Spring Break and then this week I have just been slacking. T is on break for the week this week and will be home tonight. I was able to do a ton of errands and accomplish several things yesterday so I was successful but not near a computer all day. I am finally getting this posted. I am totally ok with being smacked with a shoe for being so late on these next few posts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of my absolute favorite manis of the year. First it is green, second it is holo, third it has adorable shamrocks and fourth it has knotwork. I loved this mani oh so much.</div>

I started with a base of Smitten Girl Sprouts. I don't know why I don't have a picture of just the base for this one. I love this green so much. It is bright and fun. </div>

I used my new Creative Shop Stamper and was still getting used to it so there are some flaws with the stamping. It is such a fun mani I didn't even care too much. Well, maybe a little, but I ignored it.</div>

I have had Revlon Posh hanging out in my stash for sometime now. I happened to just open a couple random drawers to pick some greens out and this was one of the ones I grabbed. I love this polish.</div>

This is one coat of Shamrockin' with the flowers fished out. They didn't always want to come out and then sometimes I would get two or three at once. I do love that Sinful Colors stepped up their glitter game with this polish. In typical Sinful Colors fashion however they also released two versions of the polish with the same name. </div>

I searched high and low and finally found both versions. Ironically I found one store that ended up having both after I had only been finding this version, the light version. The difference between the light and dark version is the dark version has small dark green glitter in it whereas this light version does not. I will have a post of the dark version coming up tomorrow.</div>

The fun thing about Shamrockin is that it can also be used as a nice Spring polish. I am really excited to see if Sinful Colors keeps coming out with polishes like this. I would really hope they don't keep releasing two versions of the same polish though.</div>

Hey Everyone!!! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! I am excited! I have my green hair, my green Guinness bead necklace the lovely manager at Flanigan's gave me last weekend and my nails are done. We got some shamrock cookies and Darby O'Gill and the Little People dvd ready to go for tonight. </div>

Hey Everyone!! St. Patrick's Day is almost here so this week we will be doing all green manis. I am hoping to get them all posted this week but we will see how it goes. It might turn into Valentine's Day and we might be going through them for long after the holiday. It is Monday which is unfortunate. I am far too sleepy and not wanting to deal with Monday at all. I could also use a snack. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I used a Halloween polish that I had gotten not long ago on clearance. I love recycling holiday collections for other holidays. This one worked very nicely for St. Patrick's Day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one dries a little matte and with all that black micro glitter it is textured when dry. I had only put a quick coat of top coat on this mani before stamping so it was still bumpy and textured.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my DIY alcohol ink stamping polish for the stamping. It showed up nicely but I think I should have used black instead.</div>

I don't know if it was poor placement or my nails are just too small but the knot image didn't come out quite as nice as I had hoped it would. I wasn't exactly disappointed with this mani but it wasn't my favorite either. I do love the Shamrock image.</div>

Hey Everyone!! Happy Saturday. I should probably get moving on dying my hair but I thought I should probably post another St. Patrick's Day mani first. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's mani features the gorgeous A England Dragon. I forgot how much I absolutely love A England polishes.</div>

Dragon is gorgeous in the sunlight. The application was perfect and smooth. I definitely need more A England polishes since I only have a few.</div>

In the shade this polish is just as pretty. I find that I lose interest in some holos if they aren't in the sun. They seem to look dusty and dull but this one is just as pretty in the shade.</div>

I put one coat of Bring it Sheer over Pistache which gave it a gorgeous shimmer.</div>

Hey Everyone!!! I don't have my St. Patrick's manis ready to post yet so I thought I would go ahead and do a little post on one of the newer plates to come out. I bought this plate with my own money and thought I would do a little review to help those who haven't seen much information on this plate yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In January a new company called Gogoonly appeared on Amazon with one single plate called St. Merry. The price point was $12.99 + shipping so I couldn't resist giving it a try. I ordered it fairly early and it came fast because I had a trial going with Amazon Prime. They shipped it in an envelope and though it was bubble wrapped it was pretty flimsy and could have easily got bent. The packaging could have been a lot better.</div>

You can see the corner got bent a little during shipping. The plate was fine but I can see where the packaging for shipping could cause an issue. This was fulfilled by Amazon so the shipping packaging has nothing to do with the brand.</div>

The back has Gogoonly written on the backing. The backing I believe is a sheet of plastic that goes to the edge of the plate. There is no plastic edge like you see with MoYou or Infinity plates. The backing is covered with a film. I didn't take the film off of the back because I figured it will keep it clean longer.</div>

The front of the plate is also covered with a film which is very easy to remove. The plate is a really nice size and has a ton of images. The plate itself is about 6x9 inches. There are 50 full nail designs and 10 smaller individual designs along the bottom. </div>

The full nail images are about 1.5x2.3 cm. I put my nails up to the images so you can see them next to real nails. My nails are small and were pretty short at the time I took these pictures.</div>

I stamped each image to test how well the plate worked. I used LA Colors Gel Like polish in Tempt. The plate stamped really really nicely. You can see I have one image circled. I had to stamp that image twice because it didn't come out perfect the first time. I had no issues on the second stamp so it was probably just user error.</div>

These are the tools I used for the swatching. I used LA Colors to stamp with. I like to test plates with cheaper polishes to see how well they will do with any old polish. This plate stamped perfectly. I used my stamper head that I got from ebay in my Fab Ur Nails cap for the large images and the squishy white dual sided stamper for the small images. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over all I would absolutely recommend this plate, especially for the price. The designs are very nice and detailed and they stamp perfectly even with a cheaper polish. I have used this plate already for a couple of manis as well as to test out the stamping polishes I was making. It is a great deal and Gogoonly has added another plate, St. Happy, to their lineup. I hope they come out with more plates because I am loving both of them. </div>

Hey Everyone!! Today started out like a Monday but has since quieted down a bit so that is good. Mr. Neil has a little infection in his mouth. His breath was beyond normal stinky so he had a trip to the doctor. Good thing the little guy likes medicine and has no issues slurping it down because he will be taking them for the next several days. I can't believe he is going to be 3 in April. He is so small that at 5lbs he still looks very much like a kitten. Apparently the new girls in the office have even heard of Bruce. I guess C said something about Bruce when he told them that Neil got a bath to go to his visit and the girls responded with how they have heard about him. Bruce the infamous cat! </div>

Today I have a nice blue mani that I did back in January. It still applies considering half the country is cold or snow covered. I wish it was a little cooler here so feel free to send some of that cool air down my way.</div>

I believe I used my Creative Stamper for this mani and it was one of the first times I used it. There was a slight learning curve for me with that stamper so the images didn't come out as crisp and nice and I had expected. I was quite unimpressed over the hype of the Creative Stamper while doing this mani. I have since figured out the best way to use the stamper and it is back in my good graces. </div>

I also messed up a bit on my middle finger so I tried to cover that up with another coat of Vampy and restamp. Unfortunately you can see a hint of the original stamping. Oops.</div>

Hey Everyone!!! Is it Friday yet? Work has been so slow. Our theory is that it is due to all the snow and wonders of winter keeping people from working. Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't last long. The quiet makes me want to nap.</div>

Today I am finally finishing up the Valentine's Day manis. I did this mani as well as the next one with MoYou Festive Plate #20 that I won from a giveaway. I don't win things very often so I was super stoked to have won this plate. Even more so because I love hearts and I had my eye on this one when it was released. The awesome Karolyn from <a href="http://www.nailsofaquarius.com/">Nails of Aquarius</a>, which is who held the giveaway, made sure the prizes were received in time to do Valentine's nails and I was able to do two manis with the plate before Valentine's Day. So exciting. You should definitely check her blog out or check her out on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nailsofaquarius?ref=br_tf">here</a>.</div>

Since I was really over red by this point I decided to go with a little bit of a different twist. I used Sinful Colors Skylark for the base. This polish pretty much freaked my camera out. </div>

It was really hard to get an accurate picture of the base alone. It is more accurate in the pictures with the stamping but I wanted to try and show what the base color was anyway.</div>

I used Festive 20 and LA Colors Vampy to stamp the rose pattern on my index and pinky nails and the balloons on my middle finger. I stamped over the middle finger with a white but wasn't really thrilled with it so I only did it on my left hand. </div>

I made a stamper decal and colored in the little envelops and hearts for my accent nail. If I had more time I would have made the whole mani that cute envelope image. Since I didn't think I was going to get too many manis in before Valentine's Day I used a few images for this mani. Luckily I don't think it came out too busy.</div>

Hey Everyone! What a week, what a week. I am glad it is Friday. I have yet another Valentine's Day mani for you. This one, at least, isn't over the top pink and red. I think I have two more but I might just post those two together. I still have to edit those pictures which will hopefully happen tomorrow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the horrible issues in life of a blogger is when we have the sudden outbreak of bad cuticles. I must apologize in advance for the cuticles. I don't have any clue why but they all decided to revolt at the same time. I have three very angry cuticles but the show must go on. They aren't too gory but I am still self conscious about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year the craze was all about Sinful Colors and their glitter polishes for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day. I was able to track them down after some hunting which made me very happy. There is nothing like hunting for a polish and finally being able to get your hands on it.</div>

I forgot to take a picture of the base alone. I used three coats of Sinful Colors Mesmerize for the base color. It is a very pretty dark purple/ blue color and the formula is great. Sometimes it looked very deep purple and sometimes it looked like a dark blue. I loved the color and could have gone with two coats. I am guessing it will stamp nicely too.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one coat of Sinful Colors Love Sprinkles over top of Mesmerize. I used the glob and drag method to get the glitter spread out in a more evenly.</div>

I didn't realize until a couple nails in that I didn't get any hearts out of the bottle when I was applying the glitter. I had to do a little bit of fishing but they weren't too hard to get out at all. I love this glitter polish because it is a mix of both light pink and white glitter. You can tell better in person than it shows up in the pictures. It is quite a fun, cute polish.</div>

Hey Everyone!! I spent the weekend away from the computer so we are behind on the Valentine's Day manis. I guess this means we will be seeing a few more days of red and hearts and barfy valentines day stuff. Luckily I don't think I have too many more manis to post before we can move on to other things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the theme of my Valentine's manis this year is recycling holiday polishes and making them work for Valentine's Day. Today I have another Sally Girl polish from the holidays. This one was supposed to be scented however not once did I get a whiff of any scent other than your normal polish smell. The non scent didn't bother me in the least though. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Sally Girl Peppermint for the base. All the junk on my fingers and cuticles is the remnants of hair glue which I tried to use to help with cleanup. My first experience with the hair glue was a bit of a fail as you can tell by the amount left on my skin after my mani.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to do some stamping but couldn't decide what color to use to stamp so I did black and red. At this point I was pretty much over the red and pinks of Valentine's Day so the black was a welcome change.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey Everyone!! Happy Friday!!! the 13th! I kind of want to hug a black cat today. I stopped by the Valentine's Day aisle at Target this morning but couldn't find anything interesting, other than all the candy of course. I was thinking I should probably pick up candy for the boys but wasn't very inspired by what I saw so I bought nothing. Tonight we are going to visit my dad up at his new rehab place. He has a roommate and is settled in. My mother visited yesterday and says he was sitting up on the edge of the bed when she went in so he is doing really well. Hopefully he comes home sooner than they thought. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I used another Holiday polish for my Valentine's Day mani. All those reds that come out for Christmas come in handy when Feb comes around. I had picked up one of the Sally Girl Snowmen polishes on sale after Christmas and thought it would be great for a sparkly February mani. </div>

The base was the Snowman Polish in Red Shimmer. This clearly is a holo glitter and not a shimmer so I am not sure what the deal with the name is. I guess we are lucky it had a name on there because the Red Cross pumpkins and snowmen don't have names or colors or anything on them. </div>

I used three coats of the Red Shimmer polish. I could have probably stopped at two but the polish is on the sheer side and wanted to see if it would build up to a deeper color. It didn't really differ too much between two and three coats.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped using another <a href="http://www.dashicabeautyshop.nl/en/">Dashica</a> plate. I used plate XL SdP-54 for the heart pattern. I love the Dashica plates as they stamp really nicely. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey Everyone!! I have been running around a bit since my dad had surgery this week and things are a little hectic. Between visiting him at the hospital and taking care of the dogs I have had these Valentine's Day manis but hadn't had the chance to edit the pictures and get them ready for posting. I am behind but I have several manis to share and a few more since I still have three days until the evil "holiday". I will either post a couple a day or I will just let them run past Valentine's day, not sure yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking at the pictures of the base I used for today's post I feel kind of like Goldilocks and the three bears. The first picture is a little too bright because my camera freaked out on this polish when I was outdoors. The third picture is a little too light and washed out. I wish I could say the middle picture was just right but it the polish is actually a little more vibrant in real life. The pictures of the final mani are most color accurate. I hate when I can't get good pictures of a color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base for this mani was LA Colors Gel Like in Stunner. </div>

This polish totally freaked my camera out because it is absolutely not this bright. Not even a little bit. I do love this color though and would like a polish that looks just like this. I probably have one actually.</div>

This is the closest picture to the actual color. Stunner is a really pretty bright coral color. Love the color even if I can't get my camera to take an accurate picture.</div>

This one is a little too washed out. The life of a blogger is always exciting. Sometimes no matter how hard you try you just can not get an accurate picture. </div>

I went to three Family Dollar stores to try and find these Gel Like polishes. I found one display which was 98% empty and in the other stores I found little buckets with the polishes they had left. I was able to grab a few but I wasn't able to get all of the ones I want. This particular one is a nice color but the brush was thick and difficult. I used two coats but it was nice and thick and had the brush been more cooperative I could have almost done one coat. It also didn't really self level which drove me nuts. The color is nice and I did think it might be nice for stamping.</div>

I decided to stamp some hearts on this one. I used <a href="http://www.dashicabeautyshop.nl/en/">Dashica</a> XL SdP-111 and China Glaze Tip Your Hat to stamp the hearts on the background.</div>

Hey Everyone! I thought today was Thursday and then was highly disappointed when I realized it was only Wednesday. Bummer. I have started to move into the Valentine's Day manis, however, I don't have any ready to post yet. Those should be coming up soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have very unique polish from Essie. It is from the 2013 Winter Collection or the Shearling Darling Collection. I am still not sure if Essie actually names their collections or if they just pick one of the colors and put the name up on the display. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This gorgeous color is Sable Collar. It is a brownish purple with are really pretty pink opal shimmer. I absolutely love this color.</div>

I used two coats of Sable Collar for this mani. I did get a couple of tiny chips really quickly when wearing this polish but they weren't really noticeable and I went two days with this mani.</div>

A lovely nail friend gifted me a mini bottle of this polish and I am so happy she did. I just about forgot about this one until I saw the bottle. Essie is not my usual go to brand but I do absolutely love some of their polishes and colors.</div>

The coloring is a little off in these next two pictures due to the sunlight but I had to show the shimmer. It really popped in the light on my drive home. </div>

Hey Everyone!! Happy Friday!!! I am excited that it is Friday! Tomorrow we are going to the Farmer's Market which should be interesting. Although I really can't stand either team in this year's Superbowl and I am not all that excited to see Katy Perry in the halftime show I do love football so we will have a little party. Our party is always just us but we make sure to have too much food and watch the game. I will have to do some Superbowl nails but I am not overly excited about having to put either team on my nails. I should probably get planning on what I need to buy for Sunday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />Today I have a very pretty Zoya polish from the 2014 Ignite Collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is Zoya Remy. Remy is a gorgeous dark blue shimmery beauty. Zoya says it has a metallic finish but I would consider it more shimmery than metallic. </div>
<br />

This mani chipped early on me which led me to almost send Barielle Nail Building Protein out the window with the Poshe basecoat. Every mani I have used the Barielle with since has been ok so I think it might have either been a fluke or it just didn't agree with Zoya.</div>

You can see that Remy has a little bit of a green flash to it at certain angles. It is a really great glowy polish and one of my favorites from Zoya. I love most Zoya polishes though. </div>

Hey Everyone! I hope everyone up in the cold north is doing well and safe. We currently have a little bit of cold air coming in so that is making me happy. I wish I had worn socks and sneakers today though. I think I am going to have to do another snow themed mani to go along with the cool weather and the snow everyone else has. I should really finish making my brother's crocheted hat too since he is cold and winter will be over soon. I was supposed to finish it this past weekend but I got distracted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I have a mani for you using one of the Revlon Transforming Effects Topcoats. This display is still up in my store but the collection is from late last year so it isn't really new. It would be lovely if they would put up new collections like, say, the Sinful Colors Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day glitters. Anyway, I grabbed this polish and another one when Walgreens was having a sale and I needed some retail therapy. First let us look at the base color.</div>

I used China Glaze Out Like a Light from the 2014 Holiday Twinkle Collection. It is a lovely dark gray creme and it applied really nicely. </div>

I got this one after Christmas when the polishes were marked down a bit. For some reason I hadn't really frequented the stores much so I wasn't super familiar with the collection. This is a great polish and was almost a 1 coater. </div>

I am thinking this polish is going to be really good for stamping but I have yet to try it out. I was still trying out the Poshe base coat when I did this mani so it was also one I did twice. Both times the application was great and had I been more careful I could have gotten away with just one coat.</div>

I, of course, managed to ding up my cuticles. I always felt bad when I would get a cuticle cut or have bad cuticles because most bloggers either don't have that problem or know how to hide it. Sadly I have issues with my cuticles all the time and I have no idea how to hide them, especially when they are this bad.</div>

I used one coat of Revlon Matte Pearl Glaze over Out Like a Light. I didn't think to do a partial mani with it so you can see the base and the transformation side by side until I had already done my other hand. That is why we are stuck with pictures of the ugly cuticle. You can see that Matte Pearl Glaze transforms the color into a gorgeous purple with pink shimmery flakie look.</div>

One coat of Matte Pearl Glaze was enough to transform a dark gray creme into this beauty. It looked darker purple in some lights and taking pictures of it proved to be difficult.</div>

The shimmery flakie was very pretty and very pronounced. It isn't a straight shimmer but it isn't a glitter either. If you look really closely, and you can see a couple of bigger chunks on my ring finger, you can see that it looks like tiny flakes. Whatever it actually is makes for a very pretty polish.</div>

It doesn't remind me of a pearl at all, I was expecting something more pearl like when I hear the name. It is definitely very pretty and I am very interested to know what it does over other colors. I am happy I picked this one up. I can't think of anything I have in my collection that is similar.</div>

Hey Everyone!!! Happy Friday! I am definitely happy it is Friday. I have nail mail that is supposed to be en route to me which is a very happy thing. I discovered, thanks to the joys of Facebook groups, a couple of supply stores I didn't know about in my area. I can't wait until I have some fun money to go check them out. I am also looking forward to checking out the craft stores for some fun new toys. I have seen a few manis done with alcohol inks and I am dying to give that a try. For now though I have lots of new plates to play with and swatch into my book. I am also contemplating a new swatch book for my polish and perhaps one for polishes that stamp. I am also not done with project reorganization so that is a never ending process. Luckily there are lots of things going on so I will have some fun posts to write.<br />
<br />
Today I have my first mani of 2014. This was actually my first three manis. I got Butter London Victoriana from a very sweet nail group friend. Now, I have a few Butter London polishes in my stash but they are all untried so I have no experience with the brand. I have been quite interested in several of their polishes over the years and figured it was about time to try them out. My major issue was that my newest goal is to use up all of the various brands and types of base and top coats I have lying around. For some reason the first two manis chipped within 24 hours. Since I am stubborn I refused to give up and kept redoing the same mani until I could get it to last past 11am the next morning (I do my nails around 9pm) so that I could take pictures. Try #3 finally worked which is good because I was getting frustrated.</div>

After three manis I learned that Poshe base coat does not like me and that I really like the formula of Butter London. Poshe will be finding a new home soon. I finally got this one to stick using Barielle Hydrating Ridge Filler and Palladio Fuse Nail Bonding Basecoat over that. </div>

I used Funky Fingers Elsa sponged on my pinky and middle fingers as a gradient. I used a full coat of Elsa on my ring and index finger. Elsa is from the Funky Fingers Frostbitten collection. I really wish we had a Five Below located somewhere near me so I had easier access to these pretties. </div>

Elsa has an ice blue and white glitter mix that has both matte and satin glitter in it. The glitter is various sizes. One thing I didn't get on my nails with this mani is any of the snowflake shaped glitter that is in this polish. I totally forgot about the snowflake glitters until I used another polish from this collection and one happened to appear. The snowflakes definitely have to be fished out. Between two polishes (Elsa and Olaf, which I used on a different mani) and 20 nails I only got one snowflake and none for this mani. The glitter is pretty enough that I won't hold the lack of snowflakes against it. </div>
