Neutral Floral Stamping
Hello ladies! It's been such a long time since I've done any stamping so I decided to revisit one of my favorite designs for today's mani. My base color was OPI Samoan Sand -- an awesome nude jelly very close to my skin tone. The stamping was done using Sally Hansen White On with Bundle Monster plate BM-221.

Going Greek
If you've read my blog for a while now, I think you might've noticed that I have a thing for gold flakie top coats. I really tried to stop myself from getting another, but yeah... obvious fail. Oh well!!! This mani reminds me of a Greek toga party. Dejavu? Yes... this mani I did previously also reminded me of one. I think I may just be itching to go to one. Hrmmm *plots* =P. My base here was OPI Don't Touch My Tutu (horrible name but hey, WHAT'S NEW OPI?!) and the gold flakes were American Apparel Meteor Shower.
OMG, this mani was THICK. Heeeeck, it was "only" 8 coats (1 base, 4 DTMT, 1 Seche Vite, 1 MS, 1 SH Insta-Dri) but my coats of DTMT were super thick due to my huge aversion to visible nail line (kill it with fire!!!). I'm pretty sure I'll be denting this some time soon but I'll try to enjoy it while it lasts! And oh yes, Meteor Shower had curling flakes. Damn the curling flake/glitter problem! I am shaking my fist at you, curling glitter gods! Whatever though, I made do. Love gold top coats too much to be too bummed about it. I am however, pretty bummed that this 18k gold flakie top coat from Sephora by OPI costs an arm and a leg. D= Whyyyyyy?!??! Guess I'll have to go working the streets to come up with that kinda money. Anyway, I think I've already rambled too much. As always, thanks for reading guys. Have a wonderful Thursday!

Autism Awareness: A Blue Jelly Sandwich
Hi everyone. As some of you may know, April is autism awareness month with April 2nd being World Autism Awareness Day. The color blue and the puzzle piece symbol have been widely recognized as support for raising autism awareness. There are many of us out there with loved ones who have one form or another of autism. In my own personal support for autism awareness, here is a blue jelly sandwich creation I came up with for today.
This was 4 thin coats of Essie Marshmallow, 1 coat of Icing Disco Ball, and 1 final thin coat of Essie Marshmallow. This is my first official jelly sandwich and I must say that I am quite pleased with the results. If you are interested in showing your support for autism awareness, you can sport a blue ribbon or wear a puzzle piece pin throughout the month of April. Thanks for reading everyone! Have a lovely week.

Tuxedo Nails
Hey everyone! I hope you all have been well. As you've noticed, there are a few small changes to my blog. I stayed up late last night tinkering with a few layouts and such. I hope everything is now easier to read and the site is easier to navigate (not that it was a big problem before, I don't think). Bonus pop out Facebook "like" tab on the side and Pinterest buttons below every post, yay! Now onto more important business...
I always wanted to do a tuxedo mani but never had the time or patience to sit down and figure out how I wanted to go about doing so. Well that no longer is true! Let's take a look at what I came up with, shall we?
I used China Glaze White on White, a slightly off white creme, for the base and Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris for the tuxedo "accents". I actually used tape for the edges and just free handed the ties and buttons with dotting tools. This mani was quite easier than I had anticipated so I'm glad it wasn't as big of a pain in the bum as I initially thought it would be. So what do you guys think? Am I ready for my formal dinner and acceptance speech? =P Have any of you guys tried any tuxedo manis as of late or even in the past for that matter?
Also, I'd like to say a quick thank you to all my followers! I passed the 300 mark several days ago and that just made my day. You guys are wonderful -- I appreciate all your support! Stay awesome, you awesome people you. =P Giveaway details coming sometime in the near future...

Click here to enter my current giveaway! Click here to get your 50% off Aveyou Beauty card! You can read more about that in this post. Be sure to click on "National" to take you to the Aveyou deal. And finally, click here to view my swap list!
Heeheehee... I know I've been MIA for a little bit but that's only because I've had really important things to take care of. I think you will forgive me when I feature today's polish of the day. It's the ever-so-famous Lynnderella polishes in none other than Connect the Dots! It's one of the most unique glitter polishes I have ever owned. Lynn makes her own special blend of hand crafted polishes and sells them only once in a blue moon. I was lucky enough to catch her most recent sale and bought this baby as soon as I could get my hands on it! It's an awesome black and white hex, bar, and speckled glitter that pretty much sums up the name perfectly. This is layered over Essie's Master Plan which I have featured previously in this post and this post.
Umm, could this polish *BE* anymore perfect??? (You must say that in a Chandler voice, props if you know what I'm talking about =P). I am in love with this polish! I can't wait to try on the other polishes I received from her most previous sale as well. I am such a fan girl of Lynnderella and her beauties! No one else comes close! =D

Pink Thursday
Hehehe, so I haven't had a free Wednesday in a while to be able to do a Pink Wednesday theme but I figure since I had on Honolulu Orchid, I'd make it a Pink Thursday instead! I just layered the top with China Glaze's Lightning Bolt! It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I know the crackle craze has really died down now but this is a cute little reminder of why it was once oh so popular. =)
Black Mesh, Broken Hearted, Crushed Candy, Cracked Concrete, Lightning Bolt
I wasn't very interested in any of the metallics or shimmery looking crackles/shatters for some reason. I dunno... just the way they look. Not my thing. Oh well... enjoy!
