Blue Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!! Well, it is after Christmas so I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Today my boss let us leave early. Even more shocking was that we don't have to show up tomorrow either. Monday we will probably leave early too if it is as slow as it has been. Let's hope. I am so excited to be off tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow he remembers that he told us not to come in. I believe there was wine involved with that decision.

I am going to post lots of pictures but probably not write a whole lot for the rest of the year. I want to get the holiday manis posted but I am also just being holiday lazy too. 

Today I have for you the gorgeous CrowsToes Blue Christmas from the 2012 Crowsmas collection. It is a gorgeous glitter. 

I used three coats over China Glaze So Blue Without You from their 2013 Happy Holiglaze Collection.

I loved this polish so much I did the mani twice since the first time I got major chipping really quickly.

I have been having a base coat and shrinkage problem lately. I can't tell if it is due to my nails being bendy and peely or the base coat.

I wanted to change it up a bit do I did my tips with Zoya Trixie.

I immediately regretted doing my tips. I didn't like how it came out. I attempted three different manis using Blue Christmas as a base and didn't like any of them. I stopped trying to redo them after doing these tips because I realized I just wasn't going to win.

I can not get this polish to photograph as awesome as it looks in person. Trust me, it is even prettier in person.

That's all for now :)

Frogs' Breath

Hey Everyone! Seeing as it has been one hell of a week! My stress levels are through the roof and I have tons going on right now. I am going to post when I can but it won't be really regular. As it is I am getting texts with more information to make my blood pressure raise while I am writing this. I need a vacation! 

The ever lovely Mihaela brought to my attention that I somehow forgot to post CrowsToes Halloween polish Frogs' Breath. Thank you Mihaela for noticing that!! It is one of my favorites too and I must have been planning my post in my head and totally didn't realize that I forgot to post it. Someone should smack me with a shoe for that one!! Go check out Mihaela's blog if you haven't already! She rocks and I put a link to I made it easy for you! GO NOW! Ok, wait, look at Frogs' Breath first THEN GO! 

I used RGB Sea for the base color. I hadn't used this polish before and honestly never heard of the brand until I received it in a secret swap. It is a gorgeous color although the name Sea doesn't seem fitting in my mind. 

I was using the glue base coat method so I took the pictures of my base color before my middle finger base coat completely dried. Please excuse the nudity.

If Frogs' Breath were really this gorgeous I would be collecting frogs to breathe on me. Yes, I know, that just doesn't sound right. I would though. I love frogs! 

Frogs' Breath is a combination of green and gold glitter. 

It tis gorgeous.

I even took pictures in the store because the mani was so gorgeous and it sparkled so much. 

My camera did not do this polish justice. It is so much more awesome in person.

You can purchase this polish from Llarowe and Overall Beauty

That's all for now :)

Bone Daddy

Hey Everyone! I am happy to report that Mr. Neil's test results are all negative. SO we don't know what is wrong with him but he seems to be getting better by the day so that is good. He is enjoying the wet food the doctor wants him to eat which is also good. Hopefully he continues to get better. I am also feeling better though I am still congested and have a slight cough. Thank you for your well wishes I greatly appreciate them :)

Today I have the last Halloween CrowsToes polish to show you.

I used Gelish Medieval Madness as my base coat. 

I think is the perfect nude for this polish. Next time I want to do it over a sheer jelly in either gray or white.

I just wanted to show this picture because I love that weirdly shaped white glitter. It reminds me of an arrow.

This is one coat of CrowsToes Bone Daddy.

Bone Daddy has various shapes and sizes of white glitter with iridescent glitter in there too.

I love this polish a lot.

Now that I have shown you all of the Halloween collection I can't figure out which one is my favorite.

I also want to do whole new manis with them using different color combinations.

I haven't done much Halloween stuff this month because my nails are short and I am just not feeling the nail art. I do love the Halloween themed polishes though so I am at least doing those. Hopefully I find some Halloween spirit to do at least a couple nail art posts before the 31st.

That's all for now :)

Tangled Web

Hey Everyone!! I went home early from work today. My boss told me I sounded like S&*T and I could go home. Uh, thanks? My throat is sore and I have a cold so I happily welcomed coming home to relax. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better, we will see.

Today's polish is CrowsToes Tangled Web from the Halloween collection.

This polish is black and iridescent glitter in a clear base. Black glitter? HECK YEAH!

Please forgive me but when I did this mani I did each hand with a different base color. The first combo I will show you is with Wet N Wild Megalast polish in Root of All Evil. This polish is from the Pick Your Poison collection.

I used one coat of Tangled Web.

I very much liked this combination.

Tangled Web has some bar glitter in it. I love black glitter so this is one of my favorites.

The first hand I did was over Sinful Colors In the Mist. I did this hand first but didn't like how the black glitter didn't stand out real well. 

I think the base was a little too dark and hid the black glitter so I only did one hand with this base.

I love the way the iridescent glitter looks against In the Mist. 

That's all for now :)

Last Call at the Crow Bar

Hey Everyone! I am laughing so hard right now! Zakk Wylde is hilarious! We are watching That Metal Show which is funny anyway. Ok back to nail polish, sorry I am distracted lol.

For this next CrowsToes Halloween polish I wanted to use a weird color for the base. I think I accomplished that when I chose this Essence polish.

Essence High Spirits. I got this baby on clearance at Ulta.

I love the shade but it looks somewhat frosty. It has a shimmer as you can see in the photo above. I don't hate it but I don't know if I love it yet. I will try it again someday. Sorry about the cleanup but I was in a rush to get the Crows on my nails.

I put one coat of Last call at the Crow Bar on top of High Spirits.

Last call at the Crow Bar is a mixture of different glitters. This baby has AH MAZ ING yellow glitter in it that totally captured my attention. I love that yellow glitter. It also has bar glitter in it.

Can you see that yellow in there? OMG I LOVE the yellow.

This was one dabbing, swiping coat.

I am not completely into multi colored glitter for some reason. All those Happy Birthday type polishes don't do much for me but this one does.

I like that it has darker glitter in there, I think that is what makes me like this multi color glitter most.

I also LOVE the yellow glitter lol.

This was really hard to capture on camera. It looks WAY cooler in person.

It is super shiny and glitterific and I totally love it.

I think next time I will try it over a different color I just can't figure out which color lol.

That's all for now :)

Purple People Eater

Hey Everyone! Ok, so I feel zombie like today. Mr. Neil has decided he wants to wake up before 5am for the past three days and doesn't want me sleeping. I am TIRED! We also watched season 1 of The Walking Dead Saturday night. OMG I love it!!!! We need to watch season 2 but yesterday was Football day and then tonight is Monday Night Football/WWE night BUT I think df is so excited to watch The Walking Dead we might watch some of that instead. I always find out about the good shows well into their 3rd or 4th seasons. I just discovered The Big Bang Theory a few months ago. I am definitely behind!

I just got done filing my nails down. SIGH. My nails are giving me such fits. I have been trying to do nice manis but my nails are such crap that it discourages me. Peeling and weak and bendy and crap. They are filed down now and I hate them. I did a Gelish mani on my nails the other day but because they are such peely messes the gelish actually started lifting. That stuff should last at least 2 weeks and on me it lasted 2 days. I wish there was a miracle cure.

For now I have more Halloween CrowsToes from last week when my nails were a bit more decent.

CrowsToes Purple People Eater.

Purple People Eater is a great combination of purple, blue and green glitter. Perfection!

I used Sinful Colors Precious Metal as a base.

I used two coast of Precious Metal.

One coat of Purple People Eater over Precious Metal. The glitter in Purple People Eater is much finer than the chunky glitters in Voo Doo and Hell Hath No Fury.

This would be a great polish for those that don't like chunky glitter. I happen to love all glitter.

I very much enjoy how the green glitter sort of glows. This polish is really very pretty.

I have seen a lot of purple and blue glitter combined polishes and I think adding the green is GENIUS and makes it super awesome.

It tis BEAuTIful! I love it! I also get the Purple People Eater song stuck in my head every time I talk about this polish.

It was a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater. One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater...

That's all for now :)
