Zombie Deer

Hey Everyone! I am so behind. Last night was T's Christmas concert. It took far longer than anticipated and was the most unorganized school event I have ever seen. I feel so bad for him because he was very disappointed in the performance. I have a nice little email I am sending off to his teacher voicing my concerns about the situation. Wouldn't you know that the man's email address isn't anywhere on the school website. I am getting more annoyed over the whole situation by the minute. Hopefully I can find the email address at home on the paperwork we got at open house. 

Today I have a nice holiday mani for you. I have a bunch of these coming up. I am trying to do as many as possible before Christmas but honestly I don't want to take the one I have on right now off. It is so sparkly.

I used three coats of Polish Revolution Zombie Christmas for the base of this mani. I love me some zombies and absolutely love this polish. Very festive and cute. The formula was great and it has a zombie name. 

I wanted to do something different so I used tape to do my tips. They aren't all centered because I am not that great with tape. I like it for the most part.

I used Zoya Pixie Dust Chyna for the tips. I top coated my index and pinkie but left the ring finger textured. I like it both ways. I love this one too which is odd because I usually don't love reds. This is probably my favorite red polish though.

Here is a quick shot of Zombie Christmas for you to enjoy.

I used Bundle Monster plate BM-H01 for the little deer image. I am loving their Holiday set and all the festive images. I might even do a New Years Eve mani now.

That's all for now :)

Grin and Bare It

Hey Everyone! Don't you love technology? It has been one of those days where my computer has been on the verge of taking flying lessons all day. I also just texted my son's teacher asking him about a money order situation that was actually supposed to be sent to df instead. *FACEPALM* On the good side of technology I am in the process of setting up a Facebook page for the blog. We shall see how that goes. I am hoping it is cooperative but I won't be able to finish it until I get home tonight. Also a reminder for all of you who were interested in the Smitten Polish Shipwrecked Collection, Noelie will be launching (haha I love the unintentional pun) tomorrow June 4th at 3pm Central Time.

Today I have for you one of the Polish Revolution colors from yesterday's post.

Yes, I know this is a Sation polish. I am not crazy. This is Sation 3 Free-dom from the 2012 Nailstock Collection.

I used 3 Free-dom as my base coat.

I thought this would go nicely as a base coat. Sation calls it a "creamy putty-taupe" but it looks pretty gray on me. It is a really pretty color and ended up being the perfect base.

The first Polish Revolution polish I had to try was Grin and Bare It from the 2013 Springing Forward Collection.

Grin and Bare It has a gorgeous milky base with copper, brown, iridescent and periwinkle glitter.

Yeah, I know, I posted two bottle shots because I LOVE THIS POLISH!

I wanted to do something different with this polish so I decided to go for a gradient. Instead of doing all my nails the same I decided to alternate the gradient scheme.

I used one coat of Grin and Bare It on my ring finger as an accent nail.

This polish blended perfectly with 3 Free-dom which made me very happy.

The sunlight didn't make me very happy. I wasn't happy with the sun shots but LOOK at that polish. I kept them in anyway because I love the color combination of Grin and Bare It and omg those iridescent glitters.

The formula was excellent. It applied itself really.

I am REALLY impressed with this polish. It was a breeze.

What amazed me even more is that I didn't need to use a coat of Gelous to smooth out the glitter. One coat of Seche Vite and this mani was smooth as can be.

How do I know have ALL of the Polish Revolution polishes already? If the rest of them are as well behaved and gorgeous as this one I am going to need them all!

Looking at these pictures is making me want to use this polish again.

If you haven't checked out Polish Revolution yet I highly encourage you to!

That's all for now :)

My Polish Revolution Stash

Hey Everyone!! Four days left!!! School gets out Thursday and I am feeling torn about my extreme excitement for being able to sleep in for a couple of months. My baby is going to high school :( I will probably be quite the mess when it gets closer to school starting lol I am alone at work this week. Not totally alone but I will be the only one actually IN the office so I am pretty sure I am going to start talking to myself more than normal soon. It is hot and humid today and I am tired and not feeling this Monday but then again I don't like many Mondays lol.

Today I have another nail mail post for you and pictures of my collection of Polish Revolution (facebook link) polishes. Recently I won a giveaway from the lovely and awesome Lauryn of Polish Revolution (etsy link). I actually had two of her polishes previously that I had received as gifts but had yet to try. Please smack me with a shoe for waiting so long because OMG her stuff is awesome. Long story short I opened my mail box to find this super awesome package of goodies and my jaw hit the floor.

If you thought her stuff was pretty via pictures on the internet I guarantee you it is even better in person. I had been lusting after all her Zombie polishes because I have a huge Zombie thing and her Springing Forward Collection in particular. I was so excited when I opened this package up.

Today I have bottle shots for you. OPI Standing Room Only, China Glaze He's Going in Circles and Polish Revolution Glitterbox. Ok. So I don't know where I have been hiding but I had never heard of Standing Room Only before and OMG amazing. He's Going in Circles is my first polish from the Kaleidoscope Collection and OMG it is awesome.

Glitterbox is an awesome mix of iridescent and holographic square glitter in pink, blue, purple and silver. There is purple shimmer in there too. OMG I love square glitter and this baby is awesome. It is from the January Musings Collection.

What Alice found, Zombie Gardens and Summer State of Mind.

What Alice Found is from the How Curious collection and is a mix of burgundy, pink holo and gold glitters. It is in a clear base and gorgeous!

Zombie Gardens is also from the January Musings Collection and it is a Zombie polish so you know I neeeeeded it in my collection. It is a milky gray base with gorgeous flower colors sprouting for Spring. The glitter is purple, pink, yellow, green and turquoise and a mix of different sizes and shapes. Summer State of Mind is from the Springing Forward Collection and totally makes me think of Summer. That is also about the shade of pink that I turn when I go out into the sun lol The base is "hot coral jelly" and has a great combination of pink, turquoise and white glitter. The glitter is a mix of matte and holo squares and hexes in different sizes. This polish also has a gorgeous hot pink flakey shimmer.

Eleganza, Zombie Christmas and the Sky was Boiling Hot. Eleganza was one of my favorites when I first saw pictures of it. This creamy light purple base has all of my favorite color glitters in it. A mixture of brown, copper, holo orange and turquoise glitter makes me very happy and very excited over this polish.

Zombie Christmas is a limited edition polish. There are still some available in the shop so run and get one if you like it before it is gone. This polish is a Christmasy twist on Vegan Zombie with red matte and holo glitter in different sizes added. LOVE it! I want allll the Zombie polishes! The Sea was Boiling Hot is from the How Curious Collection and Alice's blue cousin. A mix of periwinkle, lilac, gunmetal and turquoise glitter. Super pretty and glittery. I love staring at the bottle and all that glitter!

Vegan Zombie, Grin and Bare it and Oh My Goth! Vegan Zombie is one of the first polishes that Polish Revolution opened shop with and is the first Polish Revolution polish that I wanted. I do not know how I waited so long to get this polish in my hands. So awesome, so zombie and so cool. It is a gray jelly packed with deep blue, green and white glitter in both hexes and squares. Oh yes it is awesome.

Grin and Bare it is from the Springing Forward Collection. This one also has my favorite brown, copper, iridescent and periwinkle glitter combination in it. The base is a milky nude color and it is awesome. I love brown and copper glitter and this polish is an absolute MUST HAVE!  Oh My Goth! is another one of the first Polish Revolution polishes. This is the other one that I really wanted when Polish Revolution first hit the scene. It is a charcoal gray jelly base with lavender, purple, gunmetal and silver glitter in different size hexes and squares. There are also BLACK HEARTS in this baby. I LOVE hearts so you know I was all about black heart glitter. I love the shade of purple in this one and hearts are a no brainer for me. I have many weaknesses obviously.

That concludes my awesome stash of Polish Revolution polishes. I can't wait to get them all on my fingers so I can show them off. Lauryn has everything but Oh My Goth! in stock right now so head over to Polish Revolution and get these babies for your nails!

That's all for now :)
